Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (RVNC), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022 and provided a corporate update.

Financial Highlights

• Total revenue for the fourth quarter 2022 was $49.9 million compared to $26.0 million for the same period last year, representing a 92% increase, primarily due to increased sales of the RHA Collection® and sales of DAXXIFY® during the PrevU program. Total revenue for the full year 2022 was $132.6 million compared to $77.8 million for the full year 2021, representing a 70% increase, primarily due to increased sales of the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers. Total revenue for the fourth quarter included $34.8 million of RHA® Collection revenue, $11.0 million of DAXXIFY® revenue during the PrevU program, $2.9 million of service revenue, and $1.2 million of collaboration revenue.

• Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022 were $65.2 million and $223.9 million compared to $46.4 million and $198.8 million, respectively, for the same periods last year, presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $55.5 million and $183.1 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. The increase on a quarterly and full year basis was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses related to the RHA® Collection and DAXXIFY®.

• Research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022 were $19.5 million and $101.3 million compared to $29.5 million and $116.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. Excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, non-GAAP R&D expenses were $17.3 million and $83.9 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease on a quarterly and full year basis was primarily due to lower clinical trial and regulatory activity.

• Total operating expenses (OPEX) for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022 were $194.3 million and $474.5 million compared to $87.6 million and $352.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. GAAP OPEX were above the company’s previously stated guidance range of $375 million to $400 million primarily due to a $69.8 million goodwill impairment charge in the company's service segment, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022. The non-cash impairment charge resulted from a reduction in the internal segment forecast and growth rates, driven by the performance of the service segment and the delay in the development of certain platform features and functionalities. The impairment analysis also reflected the decrease in the current valuation of the broader payments sector. The company also recognized a non-cash, accelerated amortization expense of $11.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 relating to the HintMD developed technology asset. The expense was attributed to the sunsetting of the platform following the migration of customers to OPUL®.
  
  
  
  Excluding cost of revenue, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment charge, non-GAAP OPEX were $72.8 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022. For the full year, non-GAAP OPEX were $267.0 million, which was in-line with the mid-point of the company’s previously announced guidance range of $260 million to $280 million.

• Net loss for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022 was $146.0 million and $356.4 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $63.1 million and $281.3 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.

• Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2022 were $340.7 million.

“I'm very pleased with our outstanding performance in 2022, highlighted by the FDA's approval of DAXXIFY® in September which lays the foundation for our significant growth opportunity ahead. To that end, we are encouraged by the positive early feedback we've received on DAXXIFY® during our PrevU program and look forward to initiating our commercial launch in late March with a focus on our existing practice partners," said Mark J. Foley, Chief Executive Officer. “During the course of 2022, we also took important steps to fortify our balance sheet, allowing us to launch DAXXIFY® and grow our aesthetics franchise from a position of strength. 2023 will be another exciting and important year for the company as we introduce DAXXIFY® and prepare for our entry into the therapeutics market."

Fourth Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Updates

• DAXXIFY® PrevU program continues into Q1, to be followed by commercial launch in late March 2023. PrevU is an early experience program that focuses on product education, practice integration and real-world clinical insights for optimizing aesthetic outcomes. The commercial launch of DAXXIFY® is expected to begin in late March 2023, first with the company’s existing prestige aesthetic accounts, which will leverage both in-person and virtual training formats. Further, the company has begun its sales force expansion, with the goal of adding approximately 50 people to its ~100-person sales team by mid-year. Fourth quarter DAXXIFY® revenue during the PrevU program was $11.0 million.

• RHA® Collection revenue increased 46% year-over-year to $34.8 million in the fourth quarter. Strong RHA® Collection revenue growth was driven by new account growth and increased account productivity. Fourth quarter results also reflected the impact of traditional seasonality. The number of aesthetic accounts across the RHA® Collection and the company’s fintech platform increased to over 5,000 as of year-end 2022.

• Gross payment volume (GPV) for fintech platforms totaled $179 million for the fourth 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 approximately $179 million for the fourth quarter 2022 and approximately $665.0 million for the full year ended December 31, representing a 31% and 17% increase from the same periods last year, due to new account growth. Fourth quarter OPUL® revenue was $2.9 million.

• Supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) for DAXXIFY® for injection for the treatment of cervical dystonia accepted by the FDA. In January 2023, the FDA accepted for review the company’s sBLA for DAXXIFY® for the treatment of cervical dystonia in adults. Revance was provided a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of August 19, 2023.

• 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 fill-finish contract manufacturer for DAXXIFY®. The company anticipates the potential approval of the PAS in 2023.

• Director and leadership appointments. Revance announced today the appointment of Dr. Vlad Coric, MD, MBA, to its Board of Directors, effective March 1, 2023. Dr. Coric, currently the Chairman and CEO of Biohaven, brings more than 22 years of drug discovery and executive leadership experience to Revance.
  
  
  
  Revance also announced today the appointment of Amie Krause as its Chief People Officer, succeeding Justin Ford, Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Head of People, who will be retiring, effective March 13, 2023. Krause brings over 25 years of human resource experience and was formerly the Chief People Officer at Atara Biotherapeutics and was the Human Resource Lead for various departments at Amgen.

2023 Financial Outlook

Revance expects 2023 GAAP operating expenses to be $460 million to $480 million and non-GAAP operating expenses, which exclude costs of revenue, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation to be $320 million to $340 million. Revance expects 2023 non-GAAP research and development expense to be $80 million to $90 million. The company’s Non-GAAP operating expense guidance for 2023 primarily reflects increased investments in its aesthetics commercial infrastructure, including sales team expansion, DAXXIFY® and RHA® commercial investments, and biosimilar partnership investments.

With current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $340.7 million, an additional $100 million of notes available for issuance through Athyrium Capital, and anticipated revenues and expenditures, management projects that the company’s U.S. aesthetics portfolio (DAXXIFY®, RHA® Collection, OPUL®) will be funded to cash flow breakeven.

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 non-cash 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. Such items include costs of revenue, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s GAAP financial results.
