Financial Highlights

• Total revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $49.3 million compared to $25.3 million for the same period last year, representing an increase of 95.3% primarily due to the growth of the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers and revenue from DAXXIFY®.

“We are very pleased to see our momentum continue into 2023 with outstanding Q1 results driven by DAXXIFY’s market introduction and the continued growth of the RHA® Collection,” said Mark J. Foley, Chief Executive Officer. “Importantly, DAXXIFY’s launch is off to a great start, and we remain highly encouraged by the strong enthusiasm for the product’s differentiated performance profile and the positive feedback we’ve received from both injectors and consumers. Further, with our contract manufacturer, Ajinonomoto Biopharma Services, now approved by the FDA, we believe we are well positioned to support the expected demand for DAXXIFY®, in both aesthetics and therapeutics, as we continue to scale our business.”

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.
