  • Company Updates Mid-Term Guidance and Expects to Achieve Profitability1 for the Fourth Quarter of 2024 and Full Year 2025

Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a performance beauty company with a customer-centric approach focused on delivering breakthrough products, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“2023 was a defining year for Evolus. We achieved record market share as the fastest growing toxin in the U.S. for the third consecutive year2, expanded our portfolio globally with the addition of an innovative late-stage line of facial fillers, and delivered continued improvement in operating income performance,” said David Moatazedi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evolus. “We expect to be profitable1 for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the full year 2025.”

“As we enter 2024, we are reiterating our full year net revenue guidance of $255 million to $265 million, which represents 31% growth at the top end of the range. Looking beyond 2024, we remain excited about both the continued expansion of our U.S. and International business with the Jeuveau® and Nuceiva® brands, as well as the introduction of our highly synergistic Evolysse™ and Estyme® dermal filler line, further increasing our market penetration and driving toward our total net revenue goal of at least $700 million by 2028.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Highlights and Recent Developments

  • The company’s key performance indicators demonstrated continued strong momentum during the fourth quarter.
    • Accounts purchasing Jeuveau® increased by a record high of more than 840 in the fourth quarter. This is 20% above the year-to-date quarterly average in the company’s seasonally highest performance quarter.
    • During 2023, more than 2,900 new accounts were added, bringing the total number of accounts purchasing to date since launch to more than 12,400. The reorder rate among customers remains approximately 70%.3
    • Enrollment in the Evolus Rewards consumer loyalty program grew 55% in 2023 to end the year at approximately 750,000 consumers.4 This was aided by a record high of over 170,000 total redemptions in the fourth quarter, driven by continued demand from existing consumers receiving repeat treatments. Repeat treatments represented approximately 60% of the total treatments for the quarter, demonstrating strong brand loyalty.
    • Expanded global footprint by successfully commencing the commercial launch of Nuceiva® in major European markets, including Germany, Austria and Italy.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • Total net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 40% to $61.0 million from $43.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 driven primarily by higher volumes of Jeuveau®.
  • Gross profit margin and adjusted gross profit margin were 67.2% and 68.4%, respectively. Adjusted gross profit margin excludes amortization of intangible assets.
  • Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $69.6 million, compared to $63.5 million in the third quarter of 2023; Q4 2023 operating expenses included $4.4 million of IPR&D expense related to the Share Issuance for the European Filler License Agreement.
  • Non-GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $45.5 million, compared to $40.3 million in the third quarter of 2023; Q4 2023 Non-GAAP operating expenses included $4.4 million of IPR&D expense related to the Share Issuance for the European Filler License Agreement. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude product cost of sales, stock-based compensation expense, revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation, and depreciation and amortization.
  • Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $8.6 million, compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2023.
  • Non-GAAP loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $3.7 million, compared to $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP loss from operations excludes stock-based compensation expense, revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation, and depreciation and amortization.
  • Cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2023 were $62.8 million, compared to $38.7 million on September 30, 2023. The cash balance on December 31, 2023 included additional borrowings of $25.0 million under the company’s credit facility with Pharmakon; $0.8 million of cash was generated from operations in the fourth quarter. This continued improvement in cash generation demonstrates progress towards cash flow breakeven. Evolus continues to expect its existing liquidity will fully fund it to sustained profitability1 in 2025.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

  • Total net revenues for 2023 increased 36% to $202.1 million, surpassing the top end of the company’s updated guidance of $194 million to $198 million introduced in November 2023, reflecting increasing consumer demand and market share gains.
  • Gross profit margin and adjusted gross profit margin were 68.1% and 69.5%. Adjusted gross profit margin, which excluded amortization of intangibles, is aligned with company guidance of 68% to 71%.
  • Operating expenses were $251.3 million in 2023, compared to $213.9 million in 2022. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $163.9 million in 2023 and in alignment with company guidance range of $160 million to $165 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses for 2022 were $137.7 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude product cost of sales, stock-based compensation expense, revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation, and depreciation and amortization.
  • Loss from operations was $49.2 million for 2023, compared to $65.3 million in 2022. Non-GAAP loss from operations in 2023 decreased by 48% to $23.4 million from $45.0 million in 2022. Non-GAAP loss from operations excludes stock-based compensation expense, revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation expense, and depreciation and amortization.

Outlook

  • Evolus expects total net revenues for the full year 2024 to be between $255 and $265 million, representing year-over-year growth of 26% to 31% from 2023 results and well above the estimated growth rate of the aesthetic neurotoxin market.
  • Evolus expects its adjusted gross profit margin for the full year 2024 to be between 68% and 71%, consistent with 2023 guidance.
  • Evolus expects its full year non-GAAP operating expenses to be between $185 and $190 million.
  • The company expects to achieve positive non-GAAP operating income on a consolidated basis for the fourth quarter of 2024 and for the full year 2025. Within the year 2025, profitability1 may not be sustained every quarter due to the filler launch. The company remains fully funded with existing liquidity.
  • The company projects its total net revenue can reach at least $700 million by 2028, a compound annual growth rate of 28% from 2023, based on the combination of its existing aesthetic neurotoxin business and anticipated launch of the Evolysse™ HA dermal filler product line beginning in 2025.
  • During 2024, Evolus expects to broaden its global footprint by expanding into additional countries with Nuceiva®, most notably Australia and Spain.
  • Evolus anticipates submitting Premarket Approval (PMA) applications for the first two Evolysse™ dermal filler products with the FDA by mid-year 2024 and expects regulatory approvals for the remaining Estyme® dermal filler products in Europe in late 2024.

1 Within this press release, “profitability” is defined as achieving positive non-GAAP operating income.

2 Measured by comparing year-over-year revenue growth of each aesthetic neurotoxin on the market for the entirety of each comparable year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Evolus’ financial results are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This press release and the reconciliation tables included in the financial schedules below include adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding amortization of an intangible asset. Adjusted gross profit margin is defined as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations exclude (i) product cost of sales, in the case of non-GAAP operating expenses only, (ii) the revaluation of contingent royalty obligations, (iii) stock-based compensation expense, and (iv) depreciation and amortization. Management believes that adjusted gross profit margin is an important measure for investors because management uses adjusted gross profit margin as a key performance indicator to evaluate the profitability of sales without giving effect to costs that are not core to our cost of sales, such as the amortization of an intangible asset. Management believes that non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations are useful in helping to identify the company’s core operating performance and enables management to consistently analyze the period-to-period financial performance of the core business operations. Management also believes that non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations will enable investors to assess the company in the same way that management has historically assessed the company’s operating expenses against comparable companies with conventional accounting methodologies. The company’s definitions of adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations have limitations as analytical tools and may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from such non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to financial statement data presented in the financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.

For a reconciliation of our historical adjusted gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations presented herein to gross profit margin, GAAP operating expenses and GAAP loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see “Reconciliation of Gross Profit Margin to Adjusted Gross Profit Margin,” “Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Expenses to Non-GAAP Operating Expenses” and “Reconciliation of GAAP (Loss) from Operations to Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations” in the financial schedules below. In addition, this press release includes information regarding the company’s expected adjusted gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating income (loss) for full year 2024. Evolus has not provided a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expenses or non-GAAP operating income (loss) because a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP gross profit margin, GAAP operating expenses and GAAP loss from operations, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various reconciling items that would impact the forward-looking outlook for these non-GAAP financial measures that have not yet occurred and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such unavailable information could have a significant impact on Evolus’ GAAP financial results.
