NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Aug. 2, 2022 – Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a performance beauty company with a customer-centric approach focused on delivering breakthrough products, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 and provided a business update.
“We are very pleased to report another record quarter that reflected above-market growth, increased market share, and disciplined operating expense management,” said David Moatazedi, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Sales for the second quarter of 2022 grew 42% to $37.2 million and our lead sales and marketing metrics demonstrated growing brand awareness and the continued strong adoption of Jeuveau®. We remain confident that Evolus can continue to grow at a faster pace than the toxin market and gain share by leveraging our unique business model focused on the cash-pay aesthetic market and targeting the millennial consumer using our cost-effective digital platform.”
Moatazedi continued, “Based on our year-to-date performance which reflects increasing momentum, our Nuceiva® launch in Europe in the third quarter, and our confidence in a resilient and fundamentally strong aesthetic neurotoxin market, Evolus is on track for another very successful year. We continue to believe we can achieve the upper end of our full-year sales guidance range of $143 to $150 million, which equates to a year-over-year growth rate approaching 50%, and expect our gross margin to step up meaningfully in the fourth quarter when our royalty payment to our largest competitor will end.”
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights and Recent Developments
•The company’s lead sales and marketing metrics demonstrated continued momentum in the company’s business during the second quarter.
◦Evolus added 590 new customer accounts in the second quarter, bringing the total base since launch to more than 8,100 purchasing customers with a reorder rate that continues to run above 70%1.
◦Membership in the Evolus Rewards loyalty program ended the quarter at nearly 390,000 consumers. Through the first half of 2022, approximately 180,000 rewards had been redeemed compared to 100,000 for the first half of 2021.
◦During the second quarter, Evolus ran a total of 750 individualized co-branded marketing campaigns across the United States that generated more than 250 million media impressions.
•The company recently completed patient enrollment in its Phase II “extra strength” Jeuveau® clinical study. This program provides Evolus with the opportunity to offer the first multi-strength neurotoxin, giving customers and consumers increased treatment options.
•In July 2022, Evolus launched its largest promotional campaign to date. The “Switch Your Tox and Love Evolus Forever” program is designed to grow the company’s customer and consumer base and increase usage of Jeuveau® among injectors and their patients.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
•Total net revenues increased 42% to $37.2 million from $26.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 driven primarily by higher volumes and a slightly higher average selling price of Jeuveau®. Net revenues in the second quarter of 2021 included $0.7 million of international service revenue. Excluding international service revenue, net revenues increased 46% over last year.
•Total net revenues for the second quarter of 2022 increased 10% from $33.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. Net revenues in the first quarter of 2022 included $0.7 million of international service revenue. Excluding international service revenue, net revenues increased 12% over last quarter.
•Gross profit margin and adjusted gross profit margin were 55.4% and 57.4%, respectively, both of which were impacted by the higher settlement royalty rates in effect until September 2022. Adjusted gross profit margin excludes amortization of intangibles.
•Operating expenses increased to $58.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $49.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, due primarily to higher product cost of sales attributable to increased sales, increased personnel costs, and increases in commercial activities. Included in operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 was a $2.0 million in-process research and development (IPR&D) expense for a licensing agreement with a 3-D printing company with unique biomaterials capabilities, for the global rights to develop their technology for aesthetic applications.
•Non-GAAP operating expenses increased to $35.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 from $31.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, in line with expectations. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude product cost of sales, IPR&D expense, revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation expense, stock-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization.
•Loss from operations was $21.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $15.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP loss from operations in the second quarter of 2022 was $14.1 million compared to $10.3 million in the first quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP loss from operations excludes revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation expense, IPR&D expense, stock-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization.
•Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022 were $84.5 million, compared to $106.7 million at March 31, 2022. Cash used during the quarter included inventory payments of $13.6 million to support the growth of the business, and net royalty, IPR&D and interest payments totaling $9.9 million. Cash collected during the quarter exceeded cash used to operate the business by $1.3 million. Evolus continues to expect that its existing cash balance will fund current operations through cash flow breakeven.
Outlook
•Based on its year-to-date performance and confidence in a resilient and fundamentally strong aesthetic neurotoxin market, the company continues to believe it can achieve the upper end of its full-year sales guidance range of $143 to $150 million. This assumes a minimal contribution from international markets.
•Evolus continues to expect its full-year adjusted gross profit margin to increase and be between 58% and 61% with a fourth quarter step up to 68% to 71% concurrent with the significant decrease in settlement royalty rates.
•The company continues to expect full-year non-GAAP operating expenses to be between $135 million and $140 million, which consists mainly of continued investments in the growth of Jeuveau® in the U.S. plus Nuceiva® launch expenses in Europe. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude product cost of sales, IPR&D expense, revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation expense, stock-based compensation expense, and depreciation and amortization.
•The company remains on track to launch Nuceiva® in Europe beginning in the third quarter of 2022.
•Evolus remains on track to complete its Phase II “extra strength” Jeuveau® clinical study by the end of the second quarter of 2023.

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 loss from operations. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding amortization of an intangible asset and, as applicable, the one-time settlement payment from Daewoong. Adjusted gross profit margin is defined as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP loss from operations exclude (i) product cost of sales, in the case of non-GAAP operating expenses only, (ii) in-process research and development, (iii) one-time settlement payment from Daewoong, (iv) the revaluation of contingent royalty obligations, (v) stock-based compensation expense, and (vi) depreciation and amortization. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, Evolus began excluding product cost of sales from its presentation of non-GAAP operating expenses; prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current presentation. 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 settlement payment from Daewoong, and the amortization of an intangible asset. Management believes that non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP 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 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 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 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 (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 2022. Evolus has not provided a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted gross profit margin or non-GAAP operating expenses because a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP gross profit margin and GAAP operating expenses, 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 adjusted gross profit margin and non-GAAP operating expenses outlook that have not yet occurred and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such unavailable information could have a significant impact on Evolus’ GAAP financial results.
