FY 2019 and Recent Operational Highlights

• Generated $5.1 million in FY 2019 gross profit, a 218% increase over prior year
• Grew product portfolio from Natesto^® only, to three products – with the acquisition of ZolpiMist™ and Tuzistra^® XR
• Natesto Spermatogenesis Study results were accepted for presentation as a “Late-Breaking Abstract” by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). The study results will be presented at the 75th ASRM Scientific Congress & Expo in Philadelphia, PA October 16, 2019
• Used $2.1 million less cash than prior year despite cash used to purchase two new products, buy inventory and launch both quickly, within one-quarter of closing each transaction
• Raised $20.6 million new capital (debt, equity and warrant exercises)

Subsequent to Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2019

Announced Innovus Pharmaceuticals acquisition to form an integrated specialty pharmaceutical company:

• Combined trailing twelve-month revenues of over $31 million
• Diversifies product line by 10x to over 30 products in both Rx and consumer segments
• Adds a robust, growing consumer health business to complement current growing prescription product portfolio
• Adds complementary, seasoned management team to continue the growth of the Innovus consumer health business
• Innovus operating near breakeven; near-term commercial, administrative, and operational synergies, resulting in acceleration of time to EBIDTA positive, are expected to be realized through the rapid integration of the two companies’ operations.

Announced Natesto license re-negotiation with Acerus Pharmaceuticals to accelerate revenue growth and increase promotion to Low T specialists:

• Doubles Natesto sales representatives; augments current Aytu sales force with nationwide specialty sales team focused on urology and endocrinology
• Increases gross profit, eliminates milestone payments, removes regulatory fees and clinical trial expenses

Announced Tuzistra XR co-promotion with Poly Pharmaceuticals to accelerate Rxgrowth and increase physician coverage:

• Doubles the Tuzistra XR sales representative headcount; potential to double revenue in FY2020
• Expands primary care physician promotion by over 7,500 prescribers

Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu BioScience, commented, “FY 2019 and subsequent activities reflect that Aytu is entering a period of hypergrowth. Revenue in FY 2019 increased 100% year over year to $7.3 million, as we grew the product portfolio 3x from one product to three. With our September 2019 definitive agreement to acquire Innovus Pharmaceuticals, combined trailing twelve-month revenue is more than $31 million, and this grows and diversifies our product line by 10x to over 30 products in both Rx and consumer health segments. The synergies from the combination are expected to result in accelerating our time to EBITDA positive, which we expect will be a significant catalyst that further increases shareholder value.”
