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 first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and provided a corporate update.

Financial Highlights

• Revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $25.3 million, representing an increase of 89.9% from $13.3 million in the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers. Revenue for the first quarter included $20.8 million of product revenue from the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers, $3.6 million of collaboration revenue and $0.9 million of service revenue from the company’s fintech platform, OPUL™ ¹.

• Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $45.1 million compared to $49.0 million for the same period in 2021, presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The decrease resulted from cost preservation and expense management initiatives, offset by higher sales and marketing expenses related to the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers. Excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $35.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

• Research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $30.7 million compared to $27.3 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to pre-commercial manufacturing and quality activities, continued product development costs for OPUL™ and higher stock-based compensation expenses, offset by lower costs incurred in connection with clinical trial and regulatory activities. Excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, non-GAAP R&D expenses were $24.1 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

• Total operating expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $87.5 million compared to $83.3 million for the same period in 2021. Excluding costs of revenue, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $59.9 million.

• Net loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $64.3 million compared to a net loss of $71.6 million for the same period in 2021.

• Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2022 were $262.6 million, reflecting net proceeds of $98.2 million from the issuance of the first tranche note by the company at the closing of the note purchase agreement on March 21, 2022 and net proceeds of $8.9 million from the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the company’s at-the-market (ATM) offering during the first quarter of 2022. Year-to-date, the company raised net proceeds totaling $31.8 million under its ATM offering.

“We achieved several key objectives since the beginning of the year that support our strategic priorities for 2022,” said Mark J. Foley, Chief Executive Officer of Revance. “In particular, we completed three consecutive drug substance lots and one drug product lot as part of the qualification of our new working cell bank, obtained the FDA’s acceptance of our BLA resubmission and were granted a new PDUFA date for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for glabellar lines. We also extended our cash runway and removed our financing overhang with a $300 million note purchase agreement and additional equity raised through our ATM program.”

Foley added, “With a new PDUFA date, our enhanced financial flexibility, and proven commercial strategy and execution, we believe we are well positioned for the significant opportunity ahead. We look forward to continuing to work with the FDA to facilitate their review and remain very focused on executing on our strategic priorities for 2022.”

First Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Updates

• Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for the treatment of glabellar lines set for September 8, 2022. On April 21, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the resubmission of Revance’s BLA for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for glabellar lines.

• RHA® Collection reached all time sales of over $100 million since launch, with first quarter revenue totaling $20.8 million. RHA® Collection revenue for the first quarter represented an increase of 78.9% from the same period in 2021, supported by new account growth and increased account productivity. The number of aesthetic accounts across the RHA® Collection and the company’s fintech platform increased to over 3,500 for the first quarter.

• Closed $300 million note purchase agreement with Athyrium Capital Management. The note purchase agreement, which closed in March 2022, included committed borrowings of $200 million and an additional option of uncommitted borrowings of up to $100 million. The non-dilutive financing transaction can extend the company’s cash runway into 2024 with $100 million in notes issued at closing and an additional committed $100 million available subject to the FDA approval of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for glabellar lines.

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.
