Key Financial Metrics (Six Months Ended June 30, 2025)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net revenues increased 9.2% year-over-year (YoY) to $137.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $126.2 million in 2024. This growth was driven by the April 2025 launch of Evolysse products, which generated $9.7 million in revenue in Q2 2025 alone.
• Jeuveau Decline: Revenue from Jeuveau decreased slightly to $127.0 million (six months 2025) from $125.2 million (six months 2024), attributed to softening toxin demand and macroeconomic factors affecting patient volume.
• Margin Compression: Gross margin decreased to 66.7% from 69.4% in the prior year period, primarily due to product mix shifts between Jeuveau and Evolysse.
• Expense Increases: Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose 18.9% to $113.3 million, driven by personnel costs and training for the Evolysse launch. Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased 8.6% to $4.0 million.
• Debt Restructuring: In May 2025, the company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Pharmakon, increasing the principal capacity to $250 million. The initial tranche of $150 million was funded, resulting in a net cash inflow of $23.4 million after fees.
• Contingent Royalty Revaluation: The company recorded an unrealized gain of $1.8 million on the revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation payable to Evolus Founders, compared to a loss of $3.2 million in the prior year period.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Product Launches: The company expects to launch all four Evolysse products in Europe in Q1 2026 and anticipates two additional Evolysse products (Sculpt and Lips) to be approved and launched in the U.S. in 2026 and 2027.
• Liquidity: Management believes current capital resources ($61.7 million cash plus debt availability) are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. However, the company has an accumulated deficit of $645.4 million and continues to incur significant operating losses.
• Key Risks:
  • Competition: Intense competition from established players (e.g., AbbVie/BOTOX) and new entrants (e.g., Revance/Daxxify, Hugel) in the neurotoxin market.
  • Supply Chain & Licensors: Reliance on Daewoong for Jeuveau manufacturing and Symatese for Evolysse manufacturing and regulatory approvals. Termination of these agreements would be materially adverse.
  • Trade Policy: Exposure to tariffs on imported products (Evolysse sourced from France), with recent increases impacting costs.
  • Legal: Ongoing shareholder derivative litigation and the requirement to pay mid-single digit royalties to Medytox until 2032 under settlement agreements.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the commercial traction and revenue contribution of the newly launched Evolysse Form and Smooth products in the U.S. market.
• Monitor the impact of rising tariffs on the cost of goods sold for Evolysse products sourced from Europe.
• Assess the sustainability of the debt structure with Pharmakon, specifically the variable interest rate exposure (SOFR + 5.0%) and the $250 million total facility capacity.
• Review the timeline and regulatory progress for the remaining Evolysse products (Sculpt, Lips, Eye) in both the U.S. and Europe.
• Track the company's cash burn rate relative to its $61.7 million cash balance to determine the runway for future operations without additional financing.
