Q & A Highlights
Q: Are you seeing any gains in repeat purchase of Eroxon yet? A: CEO Alex Duggan: Despite 2025 being challenging, the products work well when targeted correctly. Our focus is on precise targeting, clear communication, and setting proper expectations to drive repeat purchases and long-term value.
Q: Will Eroxon Intense cannibalize the original Eroxon product? A: Exec Director and Head of R&D Ken James: We believe there's room for both products. Some men prefer a stronger effect, while others find it too strong, allowing both products to coexist in the market.
Q: As part of the evolution of the commercial model, will you be reviewing relationships with all current partners? A: CEO Alex Duggan: Yes, reviewing partner relationships is a core part of our strategy. We are open to changes if needed and are seeking new partners in larger consumer healthcare markets.
Q: What is the current status and timing certainty of the $2.5 million Halian milestone? A: CEO Alex Duggan: We believe the conditions for the milestone payment have been met following the patent grant. We are in discussions with Halian about invoicing and payment, and an announcement will be made once concluded.
Q: Why do you think WSD 4,000 is such a significant opportunity? A: Exec Director and Head of R&D Ken James: There is no female equivalent of Viagra, and 60% of women experience sexual dysfunction symptoms. Our product addresses six key symptoms, offering a unique market position with strong clinical evidence.
Q: Following the strategic review, do you believe there is a sustainable business here? A: CEO Alex Duggan: Yes, there is strong conviction in our products, a clear demand for non-drug ED solutions, and a promising female health product. We are strengthening our team and focusing on translating scientific innovation into scalable revenue.
Q: You talk about having more involvement with partners post-launch. What does this mean in reality? A: CEO Alex Duggan: We are adopting a structured, proactive approach to support and challenge partners, using deeper consumer insights to refine product positioning and implementing a continuous feedback loop to improve execution.
Q: Are there any new launches planned for the second half? A: CEO Alex Duggan: The next expected launch is early 2027 for the Intense product, likely starting in the US market, subject to FDA approval and stock availability.
