Revance Therapeutics Releases Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Financial Results and Provides 2014 Outlook


NEWARK, Calif., March 26, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:RVNC), today reported financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

Recent Accomplishments and Progress Toward Milestones



  • Closing of the Company’s initial public offering (IPO) in February 2014, resulting in net proceeds of $102.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discount;


  • Initiation of the first wave of the RT001 US Phase 3 open-label long-term safety study for the treatment of lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet lines);


  • Planning to initiate the RT001 US Phase 3 pivotal study for the treatment of lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet lines) in the first half of 2014;


  • Progress on the Company’s injectable RT002 Phase 1/2 clinical study, with duration results in glabellar lines anticipated in the first half of 2014; and


  • Addition of Angus Russell as Chairman of Revance’s Board of Directors, further expanding our strategic leadership capabilities.



“The past several months have been transformational for Revance,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Dan Browne. “With the success of the recent IPO, our strong balance sheet enables us to successfully execute our clinical programs, a key element towards commercializing RT001 and RT002. We look forward to reporting duration results from our RT002 injectable botulinum toxin in glabellar lines in the first half of 2014 and Phase 3 efficacy data from our RT001 topical product candidate for treatment of crow’s feet lines in the second half of 2014.”



“I am also pleased to share that we initiated the RT001 Phase 3 open-label long-term safety study in crow’s feet lines this quarter, earlier than we planned. Starting this study is a key step toward generating the long term safety database for RT001.”

Clinical Study Design



The RT001 Phase 3 long-term safety study in crow’s feet lines is an open-label, multi-center, repeat dose study that is expected to enroll up to 1800 subjects. The primary goal of the study is to generate the safety database to support the filing of our Biologics License Application (BLA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) with the European Union. Data from this study is expected to support a proposed dosing regimen of up to four times per year, consistent with the other botulinum toxins on the market. The study may last up to 24 months and is expected to enroll patients in several waves over the next year.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results



Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $14.0 million, or net loss of $53.63 and $47.11 per basic and diluted share. This compares with net loss applicable to common stockholders of $10.9 million, or net loss of $53.69 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2012.



Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2013 increased by $0.2 million to $0.3 million, from $0.1 million in the 2012 period. The increase reflects a one-time milestone in connection with the asset purchase agreement for the sale of Relastin to Precision Dermatology, Inc.



Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2013 were $9.2 million, compared with $18.5 million for the 2012 period. Research and development (R&D) expenses were $6.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared with $16.9 million for the 2012 period. The decrease is primarily attributable to one-time costs incurred in connection with the reacquisition of the RT001 and RT002 technology rights from Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation in October 2012. Sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared with $1.6 million for the 2012 period. The increase is primarily attributable to higher legal, accounting, and consulting fees related to preparations for the Company’s IPO.



Cash used in operations was $13.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.9 million. In February 2014, the Company closed its IPO, resulting in net proceeds of $102.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discount.

Full Year 2013 Financial Results



For the full 2013 year, the Company reported a net loss of $52.4 million, capital contribution on extinguishment of previously outstanding convertible preferred stock of $74.9 million, deemed and noncumulative dividends on Series E convertible preferred stock of $14.1 million, and undistributed earnings allocated to preferred stockholders of $8.1 million. When all combined, this resulted in basic and diluted net income applicable to common stockholders of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, or $1.17 and $1.05 per basic and diluted share, respectively. This compares with a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $58.3 million, or $290.5 per basic and diluted share for the 2012 period.



Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased by $0.1 million to $0.6 million, compared to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease is due to a reduction in licensing revenue, offset by one-time milestone revenue.



Total operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were $38.8 million, compared with $43.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $27.8 million, compared to $32.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in R&D expenses in 2013 is primarily attributable to one-time costs related to the reacquisition of technology rights described above, offset by increased clinical research organization (CRO) costs. SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $11.0 million, compared to $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The change was primarily attributable to a decrease in professional fees relating to the Medicis dispute during the year ended December 31, 2012.



Cash used in operations was $47.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

2014 Financial Outlook



Revance anticipates 2014 operating expenses excluding amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation will be in the range of $55 to $60 million. The Company expects its 2014 cash burn to be in the range of $75 million to $85 million. Cash burn in 2014 includes $7.1 million paid under the Company’s settlement agreement with Medicis and debt service of $10 to $11 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures



The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. 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. Revance is unable to reconcile non-GAAP operating expense guidance to GAAP as the amount of future stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization costs cannot be estimated at this time. Revance excludes stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization costs because management believes the exclusion of these items is helpful to investors to evaluate the Company’s recurring operational performance.

About Revance Therapeutics, Inc.



Revance is a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of novel botulinum toxin products for multiple aesthetic and therapeutic applications. The Company is leveraging its proprietary portfolio of botulinum toxin compounds combined with its patented TransMTS® peptide delivery system to address unmet needs in the large and growing aesthetic and therapeutic botulinum toxin market. Revance’s proprietary TranMTS technology enables transcutaneous delivery of botulinum toxin A, eliminating the need for injections. The Company’s lead product candidate, RT001, is a topical formulation of botulinum toxin type A, which has the potential to be the first commercially-available non-injectable dose form. RT001 is being evaluated in a broad clinical program that includes aesthetic indications such as crow’s feet lines (wrinkles around the
eyes) and therapeutic indications such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and migraine headache. Revance also has a second product candidate, RT002, a novel injectable formulation of botulinum toxin type A designed to be more targeted and longer lasting than currently available botulinum toxin injectable products.
