Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a performance beauty company with a focus on building an aesthetic portfolio of consumer brands, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a business update.

“Our third quarter results underscore the momentum we’ve been building throughout the year,” said David Moatazedi, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to deliver growth at multiples above the market, validating our performance beauty approach in the medical aesthetics industry. Jeuveau^®, our flagship brand, resonates with a younger generation of consumers, as demonstrated by the recent achievement of over one million total consumers enrolled in our loyalty program. Our deep customer engagement and cash-pay focus differentiate us in the category and pave the way for the upcoming launch of Evolysse™.”

“Last week, we received approval for Estyme^® in the European Union, putting Evolus in a unique position as one of only five companies in Europe with both a neurotoxin and injectable HA gel line. We have initiated our early experience program and expect a full launch in the second half of 2025. Key learnings from Europe will inform the U.S. launch of our first two Evolysse™ injectable HA gels, Form and Smooth, which we anticipate will take place by September 2025, followed by Sculpt in 2026, and Lips in 2027. These launches will enable us to expand our market presence while benefiting from our existing infrastructure.”

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights and Recent Developments

• The company’s key performance indicators demonstrated continued strong momentum during the third quarter.
  • Evolus added over 600 new customer accounts in the quarter, bringing the total number of customers purchasing since launch to nearly 14,500. The reorder rate among customers was approximately 70%².
  • Members in the Evolus Rewards™ consumer loyalty program grew by over 72,000 to approximately 975,000³. As of November 2024, the Evolus Rewards™ consumer loyalty program has surpassed 1 million enrolled consumers.
  • Total Evolus Rewards™ redemptions for the quarter hit an all-time high of over 190,000³ with existing patients receiving repeat treatments at the rate of approximately 65%, which demonstrates growing consumer adoption and utilization. As of November 2024, total Evolus Rewards™ redemptions have surpassed 2 million reflective of sustained brand loyalty.
  • Launched Club Evolus™, the first subscription-based program by a neurotoxin manufacturer, in early November.
• Evolus received approval for its Estyme^® injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gels in the European Union, with an experience program to launch immediately, and full launch expected in the second half of 2025.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

• Total net revenues for the third quarter of 2024 increased 22% to $61.1 million from $50.0 million in the third quarter of 2023 driven primarily by higher volumes of Jeuveau^®.
• Gross profit margin and adjusted gross profit margin were 68.9% and 70.2%, respectively. Adjusted gross profit margin, which excludes amortization of intangible assets, aligns with company guidance for the full year, as noted below.
• Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $76.6 million, compared to $74.6 million in the second quarter of 2024.
• Non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $49.6 million, compared to $46.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. 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 third quarter of 2024 was $15.5 million, compared to $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP loss from operations in the third quarter of 2024 was $6.7 million compared to a $1.1 million income from operations in the second quarter of 2024. The decline in operating income quarter over quarter was primarily driven by typical seasonality of revenue. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations excludes stock-based compensation expense, revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation, and depreciation and amortization.
• Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 were $85.0 million compared to $93.7 million at June 30, 2024, representing a single-digit cash use for the quarter and continued progress toward cash generation.

Outlook

• Evolus narrows its full year total net revenue guidance to $260 million to $266 million, representing year-over-year growth of 29% to 32% from 2023 results and well above the estimated growth rate of the aesthetic neurotoxin market.
• The company continues to expect its adjusted gross profit margin for the full year 2024 to be between 68% and 71%.
• Evolus continues to expect its full-year non-GAAP operating expenses to be between $185 million and $190 million. The company continues to expect to achieve positive non-GAAP operating income on a consolidated basis for the fourth quarter of 2024 and for the full year 2025.
• PMA application for Evolysse^™ Form and Evolysse^™ Smooth injectable HA gels currently under review by the U.S. FDA with approval and launch expected by September 2025.
• The company projects total net revenue of 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 novel line of injectable hyaluronic acid gels beginning in 2025.
• Evolus continues to expect to expand operating margins by leveraging its highly synergistic, existing infrastructure, with a target of at least 20% by 2028.

¹ “Profitability” is not a measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Within this press release, “profitability” is defined as achieving positive non-GAAP operating income. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information on the company’s use and definitions of non-GAAP measures.

² Represents cumulative statistics from the launch of Jeuveau^® in May 2019 through September 30, 2024.

³ Represents cumulative statistics from the launch of Evolus Rewards^™ in May 2020 through September 30, 2024.

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 and adjusted gross profit margin are important measures 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, adjusted gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations presented herein to gross profit, 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 and non-GAAP operating expenses for full year 2024 and the company’s expected non-GAAP operating income (loss) for the fourth quarter of 2024 and full year 2025. Evolus has not provided a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expenses or non-GAAP operating (loss) because a reconciliation of such measures to forward-looking 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.
