NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVNC), a biotechnology company focused on innovative aesthetic and therapeutic offerings, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided a corporate update.

Financial Highlights

• Revenue for the second quarter 2021 totaled $18.8 million compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter 2020. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $32.1 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was due to sales resulting from the commercial expansion of the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers and revenue generated from the fintech platform. Revenue for the second quarter 2021 included $17.0 million of product revenue from sales of the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers, $1.4 million of collaboration revenue and $0.4 million of service revenue from the fintech platform.

• Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $50.6 million and $99.6 million compared to $29.6 million and $50.8 million for the same periods in 2020, respectively, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The increase was primarily due to sales and marketing expenses related for the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers, pre-commercial preparation activities for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection and other fintech acquisition integration related expenses. SG&A expenses include depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. Excluding these expenses, non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $42.4 million and $83.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

• Research and development (R&D) expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were $29.4 million and $56.7 million compared to $27.1 million and $66.9 million for the same periods in 2020, respectively. Key drivers of the change were due to lower costs incurred by clinical trial and regulatory costs, offset by costs related to pre-commercial manufacturing and fintech platform development. R&D expenses include depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation. Excluding these expenses, non-GAAP R&D expenses were $24.9 million and $48.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

• Total operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $89.1 million and $172.5 million compared to $57.4 million and $118.4 million for the same periods in 2020, respectively. Excluding costs of revenue, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, non-GAAP operating expenses were $67.3 million and $131.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

• Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $72.2 million and $143.8 million compared to $60.6 million and $122.5 million for the same periods in 2020, respectively.

• Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2021 were $336.3 million.

“We are pleased to deliver our third consecutive quarter of growth, highlighted by the $17.0 million in RHA® Collection sales, a steady increase in aesthetic accounts and the continued ramp up in payment processing volume. These results reflect both our ability to execute on our strategy and the broader strength of the aesthetics market, especially during seasonally busy periods such as the second quarter. We are also pleased to be beta testing our next-generation fintech platform and successfully processing payments as a PayFac. Our team is looking forward to the full launch of our fintech services platform in the fourth quarter of this year,” said Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Revance.

Foley continued, “The FDA initiated their pre-approval inspection of our manufacturing facility in June, and we continue to anticipate approval of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for the treatment of glabellar lines in 2021. We are actively preparing for the launch and once approved, expect DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection to underpin our aesthetics franchise and set the standard for neuromodulator performance in therapeutic indications. In the second half of this year, we look forward to the topline results from our ASPEN-OLS Phase 3 open-label, long-term safety study of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for the treatment of cervical dystonia, as well as an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA to discuss DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for the treatment of adult upper limb spasticity.”

Second Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Updates

Aesthetics Franchise

• RHA® Collection revenue totaled $17.0 million for the second quarter 2021. Strong sales were driven by increased account penetration, supported by seasonality patterns and continued strength in the aesthetics market. The number of aesthetic accounts across the RHA® Collection and the fintech platform increased from over 1,500 in the first quarter to over 2,000 in the second quarter.

• Fintech payment processing volume run-rate increased to over $500 million in the second quarter 2021. The increase in processing volume run-rate was driven by account penetration and a more streamlined sales and customer acquisition process.

• Payment facilitator (PayFac) integration for the next-generation fintech platform. The company completed PayFac integration for its next-generation fintech platform and is currently in the process of beta testing the new platform which is expected to be launched in the fourth quarter 2021.

• Status of the Biologics License Application (BLA) for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in the treatment of glabellar lines. Consistent with the company’s previous disclosure on the status of the pre-approval inspection, the FDA initiated the inspection of the company’s manufacturing facility in June 2021. Revance continues to anticipate receiving approval for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in 2021 and is actively building inventory and preparing for commercial launch.

• Expanded leadership in aesthetic fintech services segment. Subsequent to the quarter-end and as part of the company’s commitment to continue developing and innovating its aesthetics services offering, the company appointed Käthe Anchel as the General Manager of Financial Services. Ms. Anchel brings over 20 years of experience in designing and building successful consumer products in payments, eCommerce, and financial services at leading companies including Umpqua Bank, Citigroup and PayPal.

Corporate Highlights

• Advancement in international partnership with Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Industrial Development Co. (Fosun Pharma Industrial). In April, the company announced that Fosun Pharma Industrial enrolled their first patients in two separate Phase 3 trials of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in China for the potential treatment of glabellar lines and cervical dystonia.

• Expanded leadership in therapeutics franchise. As a result of the company’s progress in its clinical trial programs, including the successful completion of the ASPEN-1 Phase 3 trial of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in cervical dystonia, the company continued to strengthen the commercial foundation of its therapeutics franchise in preparation for launch, following approval. Subsequent to the quarter-end, the company appointed Rob Bancroft as General Manager of Therapeutics. Mr. Bancroft brings more than 25 years of experience in the healthcare and life sciences industries including a strong background in the toxin space. At Allergan, Mr. Bancroft led a global pipeline development strategy for BOTOX®, laying the groundwork for expansion investments such as spasticity, migraine and neurogenic/overactive bladder. He was most recently the Chief Executive Officer of QMENTA and was also the Executive Vice President of Healthpoint Biotherapeutics.

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 and amortization and stock-based compensation; non-GAAP R&D expense, which excludes depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation; and total non-GAAP operating expense, which excludes costs of revenue, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. Revance excludes costs of revenue, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-cash in-process research and development costs 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 report 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. Such items include costs of revenue, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-cash in-process research and development costs. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s GAAP financial results.
