Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a performance beauty company with a
customer-centric approach focused on delivering breakthrough
products, this month celebrated the conclusion of certain royalty
payments that resulted from the 2021 settlement of litigation
claims between the company and Medytox, Inc. and Allergan, Inc.
“The conclusion of these royalty payments is an important
milestone for Evolus and represents the beginning of a
significantly improved financial profile reflecting stronger profit
margins, which keeps us on a path to reaching profitability,” said
David Moatazedi, President and CEO. “Evolus is on a very strong
trajectory with a robust, above-market growth outlook in 2022 and
several important initiatives that we believe can sustain our
momentum into 2023. These include ‘Switch Your Tox and Love Evolus
Forever,’ our biggest consumer promotional campaign to date, the
imminent launch of Nuceiva® in Europe, and the presentation of
preliminary data from our Phase II extra-strength study early next
year.”
Evolus continues to expect its adjusted gross profit margin for
the quarter ending December 31, 2022 to increase to the range of
68% to 71%. This compares to an adjusted gross profit margin of
57.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Adjusted gross profit
margin is defined as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of total
net revenues. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit
excluding amortization of an intangible asset.
Under the Medytox/Allergan Settlement Agreements in February
2021, the company agreed to pay royalties on the U.S. sales of
Jeuveau® from December 16, 2020 to September 16, 2022 to Medytox
and Allergan, and pay royalties on sales of product outside the
U.S. from December 16, 2020 to September 16, 2022 to Medytox. In
addition, the company agreed to make cash payments to Medytox and
Allergan totaling $35.0 million, which has been completed except
for a final payment of $5 million due in February 2023. Per the
agreement, beginning September 17, 2022 to September 16, 2032, the
company will pay Medytox a mid-single digit royalty percentage on
net sales of Jeuveau® in the U.S. and all territories it has
licensed outside the U.S.
