Forward guidance

Axsome believes that its cash at June 30, 2021, along with the remaining committed capital from the $225 million term loan facility, is sufficient to fund anticipated operations into at least 2024. Axsome expects that its operating expenses will increase year over year as they continue to build out the commercial function and further advance their pipeline.

Tailwinds

  • Cash is sufficient to fund operations into at least 2024
  • Remaining committed capital from the $225 million term loan facility will support operations
  • Focus on commercial launch of AXS-05 in MDD
  • Potential commercial launch of AXS-07 in migraine
  • Advancement of pipeline

Headwinds

  • Uncertainty regarding FDA approval of AXS-05
  • Potential delays in AXS-05 approval due to identified deficiencies
  • Increased operating expenses year over year
  • Dependence on successful commercial launch of AXS-05 and AXS-07
  • Potential impact of unforeseen circumstances or disruptions related to COVID-19
