NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2019-- Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVNC), a biotechnology company pioneering new innovations in neuromodulators for aesthetic and therapeutic indications, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and provided a corporate update.

Third Quarter 2019 and Subsequent Updates

• Board Appointed Mark J. Foley as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). In October, Revance announced that Mark Foley had assumed the role of President and CEO, having served on the Revance Board for the prior two years. He brings more than 25 years of operational and investment experience in the healthcare arena. Previously, Mr. Foley served as Chairman, President and CEO of ZELTIQ Aesthetics from 2012 to 2017, where he led the company through a period of significant transformation and growth, culminating in its acquisition by Allergan.

• BLA On Track for Submission in November 2019. Revance plans to submit its Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (DAXI) for the treatment of glabellar lines in November 2019.

• Enrollment Now Complete in Phase 2 Trials for DAXI in Both Forehead Lines and Lateral Canthal Lines. In July, Revance completed enrollment in its Phase 2 clinical trial of DAXI for forehead lines. In August, the company also completed enrollment in its Phase 2 trial of DAXI in lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet). Topline results for both trials are expected in the first half of 2020.

• Completed Enrollment in ASPEN-1 Phase 3 Trial of DAXI in Cervical Dystonia. Today, Revance announced completion of enrollment in the company’s ASPEN-1 Phase 3 clinical trial for DAXI for the treatment of cervical dystonia (CD). In total, 301 adult patients were enrolled at 60 sites across the U.S., Canada and Europe. Topline data from this Phase 3 trial is expected in the second half of 2020.

“Revance is entering a pivotal period, given the large number of value-inflection points we have created for the company, beginning in just a few weeks with the anticipated submission of our first BLA for DAXI with the FDA,” said Mark J. Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer at Revance. “In 2020, we expect to report topline results for three Phase 2 clinical trials, as well as our ASPEN-1 Phase 3 trial in cervical dystonia. In addition, we anticipate 2020 will see FDA approval for, and the commercial launch of, our long-acting neuromodulator, DAXI, in glabellar lines. I’m thrilled to be taking the helm of this company at such a dynamic time. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge everyone who has helped position Revance for the momentous period we are entering.”

Financial Highlights

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2019 were $209.0 million. In August, Mylan was provided an extension to the collaboration and license agreement to defer its decision to move forward with the development of a biosimilar to BOTOX® in exchange for a $5.0 million payment, which is expected to be received in fourth quarter of 2019. A decision on whether Mylan intends to proceed is expected by April 30, 2020.

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $46 thousand compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2018. The revenue recognized represents the portion of revenue earned from the $30 million combined upfront and incremental payments from Mylan under the biosimilar collaboration and license agreement. Accordingly, revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.3 million compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2018.

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $25.9 million and $75.4 million compared to $21.8 million and $67.0 million for the same periods in 2018, respectively. The change in research and development expenses is primarily due to the initiation and continuation of clinical trials and studies for multiple therapeutic and aesthetic indications and pre-BLA filing activities for DAXI for the treatment of glabellar lines.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $16.7 million and $43.2 million compared to $14.2 million and $40.5 million for the same periods in 2018, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increased costs related to personnel and infrastructure build-out.

Total operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $42.6 million and $118.6 million compared to $36.0 million and $107.5 million for the same periods in 2018, respectively. Stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $4.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively. When excluding depreciation and stock-based compensation, total operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $37.5 million and $103.6 million, respectively.

Net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $41.4 million and $114.1 million compared to $32.8 million and $102.0 million for the same periods in 2018, respectively.

Near-Term Milestone Expectations

Aesthetics:

• Submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for DAXI for the treatment of glabellar (frown) lines in November 2019.
• Topline results from Phase 2 study of DAXI in forehead lines expected in 1H 2020.
• Topline results from Phase 2 study of DAXI in lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet) expected in 1H 2020.

Therapeutics:

• Completion of patient enrollment in Phase 2 plantar fasciitis study expected in 4Q 2019.

• Topline results from Phase 2 study of DAXI in plantar fasciitis expected in 2H 2020.

2019 Financial Outlook

Revance reiterates its financial guidance provided in February 2019. Revance expects 2019 GAAP operating expense to be in the range of $173 to $185 million and non-GAAP operating expense, which excludes depreciation and stock-based compensation costs, to be in the range of $148 to $158 million as driven by increased research and development expenditures and launch preparation activities. With five clinical programs and preparations to file the BLA underway, Revance anticipates 2019 non-GAAP research and development (R&D) expense to be $93 to $100 million. With the successful capital infusion through partnering agreements in 2018 and an equity raise in January, management believes the company has adequate cash reserves to fund its current operations through 2020.
