Financial Highlights

  • Revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $29.0 million, representing a 46.9% increase from $19.7 million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased sales of the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers. Revenue for the third quarter included $26.1 million of product revenue from the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers, $2.0 million of service revenue from OPUL® and the legacy HintMD fintech platform, and $1.0 million of collaboration revenue.

  • Net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $84.7 million and $210.5 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $74.4 million and $218.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021.
  • Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2022 were $378.6 million.

“During the third quarter, we achieved the most significant milestone in the company’s history with the FDA approval of DAXXIFY™. This approval will allow us to advance our blockbuster potential in aesthetics while also providing the necessary foundation for the submission of our sBLA for DAXXIFY™ for cervical dystonia, our first therapeutic indication. Additionally, following DAXXIFY’s approval, we were able to successfully close an upsized financing that significantly bolstered our balance sheet,” said Mark J. Foley, Chief Executive Officer. “We are very pleased with our strong, Q3 results driven by account growth across products and services, increased account productivity, and the successful launch of RHA® Redensity.”

Foley continued, “Enthusiasm among consumers and injectors for DAXXIFY™ continues to be very encouraging as we prepare to kick off our early experience program, PrevU, in December at our Nashville headquarters, followed by full commercial launch in Q2. DAXXIFY™ is well-positioned to address the greatest unmet need with existing neuromodulators, insufficient duration, and is poised for meaningful growth in the U.S. aesthetics market with our proven prestige strategy and commercial track record. 2023 will be an exciting year for the company and I’d like to thank the entire Revance team for all of their hard work and commitment in delivering on our strong Q3 results.”

Third Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Updates

  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved DAXXIFY™ for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines. DAXXIFY’s approved label includes the full 36-week efficacy data from Phase 3 SAKURA clinical program, positioning the product as the first and only peptide-formulated, long-acting neuromodulator that demonstrates a median duration of six months and up to nine months for some patients1- 6* ‡. DAXXIFY™ has the ability to deliver year-long results with as few as two treatments per year and has been proven to be effective, generally safe and well tolerated2-5 *. The company will initiate its early experience program, PrevU, in December, which is expected to continue through the first quarter of 2023, followed by commercial launch.
  • RHA® Collection revenue increased 42.6% year-over-year to $26.1 million in the third quarter. Strong RHA® Collection revenue growth was driven by new account growth, increased account productivity, and the successful launch of RHA® Redensity for dynamic perioral rhytids (lip lines). The number of aesthetic accounts across the RHA® Collection and the company’s fintech platform continued to increase and totaled over 4,500 at the end of the third quarter.
  • Gross payment volume (GPV) for fintech platforms totaled $164 million for the third quarter. Revance defines GPV as the total dollar amount of all transactions processed in the period through OPUL® and HintMD, net of refunds. GPV for the company’s fintech platforms was $164 million for the third quarter of 2022, representing a 24.8% increase from the same period in 2021, driven by new account growth. GPV for the trailing-twelve months ended September 30, 2022 totaled over $630 million.
  • Closed a $230 million upsized public offering of common stock. On September 15, Revance closed its underwritten public offering of 9,200,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $25.00 per share, generating net proceeds of $215.9 million. The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the commercialization of DAXXIFY™, the growth of RHA® Collection of dermal fillers and OPUL®, and to begin to advance its therapeutics opportunity.
  • Submitted supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) for DAXXIFY™ for the treatment of cervical dystonia. In October, Revance submitted a sBLA to expand the label indication for DAXXIFY™ to include cervical dystonia. The company anticipates a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action target date in 2023. The sBLA submission is supported by data from the ASPEN Phase 3 clinical development program, which demonstrated that DAXXIFY™ was effective and generally safe and well tolerated in treating cervical dystonia, in addition to having a median duration of effect of 24 weeks with the 125 Unit dose group. The submission advances Revance’s therapeutics opportunity in the nearly $1 billion U.S. muscle movement disorder category.
  • Prior-approval supplement (PAS) for Ajinomoto Biopharma Services accepted by the FDA. In October, the FDA accepted the company’s PAS submission for Ajinomoto Biopharma Services (Aji), Revance’s dual source, fill-finish, contract manufacturer for DAXXIFY™. The company anticipates the potential approval of the PAS in 2023 to support the scaled production of DAXXIFY™.
  • David Hollander, MD, MBA, joins Revance as Chief Medical Officer (CMO). In October, Revance appointed David Hollander as the company’s CMO to support the company’s efforts in its aesthetics commercial launch, international regulatory strategy, therapeutics opportunity, and the biosimilar to Botox® program. Dr. Hollander will lead Revance’s clinical development, data science, medical affairs, scientific innovation, pharmacovigilance and regulatory affairs departments.

WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT

The effects of DAXXIFY™ and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. DAXXIFY™ is not approved for the treatment of spasticity or any conditions other than glabellar lines.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Contraindications

DAXXIFY™ contraindications include hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or any of the components in the formulation and infection at the injection site(s).

Warnings and Precautions

Please refer to Boxed Warning for Distant Spread of Toxin Effect.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Revance has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. This release and the reconciliation tables included herein include non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, which excludes depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation; non-GAAP R&D expense, which excludes depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation; and total non-GAAP operating expense, which excludes costs of revenue, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. Revance excludes costs of revenue, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation because management believes the exclusion of these items is helpful to investors to evaluate Revance’s recurring operational performance. Revance management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate its operating results and trends on an on-going basis, and internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. The non-GAAP financial 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.

Certain non-GAAP measures included in this release were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis. The company is unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because the company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures for these periods but would not impact the non-GAAP measures.
