Revance Therapeutics, Inc. announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVNC), a biotechnology company developing neuromodulators for use in treating aesthetic and therapeutic conditions, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Recent Company Highlights and Upcoming Milestones for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002)
- Revance expects to complete the SAKURA 3 open-label, long-term safety study of RT002 for the treatment of glabellar (frown) lines in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company remains on track to file its Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) for RT002 to treat glabellar (frown) lines in first half of 2019.
- Revance initiated the ASPEN Phase 3 program with RT002 for the treatment of moderate to severe isolated cervical dystonia for the U.S. in June of 2018. The program includes a single pivotal trial and an open-label safety study, each to enroll approximately 300 patients across sites in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
- Announced the appointments of Susanne Fors, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, Conor Gallagher, Ph.D., as Head of Medical Affairs, Aesthetics, and Caryn McDowell as Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary in May of 2018.
“Our clinical body of work for RT002 injectable, including the SAKURA 1 & 2 pivotal trials for the treatment of glabellar lines, supports the potential for this product to provide patients and physicians with unequaled, enduring performance. We look forward to the SAKURA 3 open-label safety study readout in the fourth quarter of this year, followed by the BLA filing in the first half of 2019,” said Dan Browne, President and Chief Executive Officer at Revance. “In parallel to our pre-commercialization plans underway in the aesthetics market, we are advancing the development of long-acting RT002 in multiple therapeutic indications. We recently dosed the first patient in our ASPEN Phase 3 Program for RT002 for the treatment of cervical dystonia and look forward to accomplishing additional clinical milestones in the fourth quarter, including the initiations of Phase 2 trials for the treatment of plantar fasciitis and upper limb spasticity. With the potential for twice yearly administration, RT002 could represent a meaningful advancement in neuromodulator treatment.”
Summary Financial Results
Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of June 30, 2018 were $233.7 million.
Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.7 million and $0.9 million compared to $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the same periods in 2017, respectively. The revenue recognized during 2018 represents the portion of revenue earned from the $25 million upfront payment from Mylan under the biosimilar collaboration and license agreement.
Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $22.9 million and $45.1 million compared to $18.3 million and $37.7 million for the same periods in 2017, respectively. The change in research and development expenses is primarily due to the cervical dystonia Phase 3 clinical trial implementation costs and increased costs to support manufacturing, quality efforts and research.
General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $12.7 million and $26.4 million compared to $8.6 million and $16.4 million for the same periods in 2017, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increased costs related to personnel, consulting and pre-commercial activities to support future product launches.
Total operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $35.6 million and $71.5 million compared to $26.9 million and $54.1 million for the same periods in 2017, respectively. Stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $4.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively. When excluding depreciation and stock-based compensation, total operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $31.0 million and $62.3 million, respectively.
Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $34.1 million and $69.1 million compared to $26.9 million and $54.0 million for the same periods in 2017, respectively.
2018 Financial Outlook
Revance reiterates its financial guidance provided in January 2018. Revance expects cash burn for 2018 to be in the range of $117 to $137 million. Revance expects 2018 GAAP operating expense to be in the range of $128 to $154 million, which when excluding depreciation of $1 to $3 million and estimated stock-based compensation of $17 to $21 million, results in projected 2018 non-GAAP operating expense of $110 to $130 million, driven by increased research and development expenditure and launch preparation activities. With three clinical programs and preparations to file the BLA for RT002 to treat glabellar (frown) lines all underway, Revance anticipates 2018 GAAP research and development expense to be in the range of $84 to $101 million, which when excluding depreciation of $1 to $2 million and estimated stock-based compensation of $7 to $9 million, results in projected 2018 non-GAAP research and development expense of $76 to $90 million.
