NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a global performance beauty company with a focus on building an aesthetic portfolio, today announced its preliminary, unaudited net revenue for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2024. The preliminary unaudited results described in this press release are based on the most current information available to management and are subject to change until the audit of the company’s 2024 financial results is completed and the company reports its full financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2024, which is anticipated to occur in early March 2025.
“The preliminary results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2024 underscore the strength of our operational execution and significant market share gains, driven by deeper penetration of the U.S. neurotoxin market with Jeuveau® and international expansion of Nuceiva®,” said David Moatazedi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evolus. “We exceeded 30% revenue growth for the fifth consecutive year, delivering results at multiples above the market, further validating our performance beauty approach and the effectiveness of our business model. These record results, at the top of our guidance, mark four years of achieving outcomes at or above our guidance and position us to build on this momentum and drive growth above 30% in 2025.”
“Our U.S. filing for Evolysse™ is ahead of schedule, and we now expect to receive FDA approval within the next 90 days. Next quarter, we will reach an important milestone, transitioning from a single product company to a multi-product innovator,” Moatazedi continued. “Our scalable cash-pay model, combined with a differentiated product portfolio, deep customer engagement, and leverageable infrastructure positions us for continued success. With the upcoming launch of Evolysse™ injectable HA gels and sustained strength of Jeuveau® and Nuceiva®, our leadership in performance beauty continues to strengthen and we are well-positioned to achieve another year of over 30% revenue expansion. Looking beyond 2025, we are focused on achieving at least $700 million in net revenue and non-GAAP operating income margin of at least 20% by 2028, driven by our disciplined financial management and strategic investments.”
Preliminary Unaudited 2024 Results and Key Business Highlights
- Total net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $79.0 million, a 30% increase over the fourth quarter of 2023, driven primarily by higher volumes and market share gains.
- Total net revenues for full-year 2024 were $266.3 million, a 32% percent increase over full-year net revenues in 2023, exceeding 30% growth for the fifth consecutive year, and at the top of the company’s guidance of $260 million to $266 million.
- Accounts purchasing Jeuveau® increased by approximately 830 in the fourth quarter. This is approximately 20% above the year-to-date quarterly average in our seasonally highest performance quarter. During 2024, more than 2,900 new accounts were added bringing the total number of accounts purchasing to date since launch to more than 15,300, surpassing 50% account penetration in the U.S. The reorder rate among customers remains at approximately 70%2.
- Enrollment in the Evolus Rewards consumer loyalty program grew over 40% in 2024 to end the year at approximately 1.1 million consumers.3 This was aided by a record high of approximately 220,000 total redemptions in the fourth quarter, driven by continued demand from existing patients receiving repeat treatments which represented approximately 60% of the total treatments for the quarter, demonstrating sustained brand loyalty.
- As of December 31, 2024, Evolus had cash and cash equivalents of $87.0 million compared to $85.0 million on September 30, 2024, reflecting strong sales growth, cash collections and prudent expense management.
2025 Guidance and Select Milestones
- Total net revenues for 2025 are estimated to be between $345 million and $355 million, which represents 30% to 33% growth from preliminary 2024 results. Evolysse™ and Estyme® injectable HA gels are anticipated to contribute 8-10% of total revenue for the full-year 2025.
- Non-GAAP operating expenses for 2025 are estimated to be between $230 million and $240 million, driven primarily by continued investments in expanding Jeuveau® in the U.S., scaling Nuceiva® internationally, and supporting the U.S. launch for Evolysse™ Form and Evolysse™ Smooth injectable HA gels.
- Evolus expects to achieve positive non-GAAP operating income on a consolidated basis for the full-year 2025. Non-GAAP operating income is anticipated to be achieved after the launch of Evolysse™ Form and Evolysse™ Smooth injectable HA gels, with investments continuing to ramp in Q1 2025 and revenue contribution weighted toward the second half of the year, resulting in our non-GAAP operating income being concentrated in Q4 2025.
- The company expects U.S. FDA approval within 90 days for Evolysse™ Form and Evolysse™ Smooth injectable HA gels, with U.S. launch planned for Q2 2025, a full quarter ahead of the prior timeline.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Evolus’ financial results are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This press release includes references to non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, and non-GAAP operating income margin which each exclude (i) the revaluation of contingent royalty obligations, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Management believes that disclosure of non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, and non-GAAP operating income margin enables investors to assess the company in the same way that management assesses the company’s operating performance against comparable companies with conventional accounting methodologies. The company’s definitions of non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, and non-GAAP operating income margin have limitations as analytical tools and may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Due to the forward-looking nature of the non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating expenses outlook disclosed in this press release, a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various reconciling items that would impact the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures since they have not yet occurred and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s GAAP financial results.
