The study was double-blind, randomized, multicenter, enrolled 45 patients, a split-phase design, and used Ruslan-L as the active control compared to LISP. The average volume injected and the baseline severity of the nasolithical fold scores were similar in both groups. The primary endpoint was non-inferiority, comparing the improvement in the NLF severity scores at four weeks between the two products. The difference was minus 0.16 in favor of Evolus Lift, and the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval was 0.03, successfully passing the primary endpoint. Of note, the confidence intervals cross zero, demonstrating equivalence between the two products.

Slide 4, The graph on the left illustrates the percent of responders with at least a one-point improvement over time using the NLF scale, as assessed by the investor. For example, at nine months, the patient responder rate was 31.1% for Restylane L and 46.7% for Avelis Lift. The Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale on the right assesses the actual aesthetic outcome after treatment.

In Europe, smoothness is also studied for the treatment of fine lines around the mouth or perioral lines. This was an open-label, 61-patient study using a validated scale that measured the severity-grade improvement of the fine lines over time. Fine lines are difficult to treat, since the product needs to be placed superficially, and only small volumes can be used.
Ruth: Slide five.
Ruth: Smooth, it's a software product and lift and can also be used in nasal labial folds, providing the second auction in the area.

In the fourth quarter, we had a record low in quarterly cash use of $0.9 million, excluding the $25 million troughs drawn under the Pharmacon line of credit, and generated cash from operating activities of $0.8 million. Net cash used in the fourth quarter of 2023 continued a sequential quarterly decrease throughout 2023, further demonstrating our continued progress towards cash flow breakeven. Given the capital efficient nature of our filler agreement, we continue to expect our liquidity to fully fund us to profitability and beyond. Before we turn to Q&A, I would like to summarize our 2024 guidance: total revenue for the full year of $255 million to $265 million.

Speaker Change: Before we turn to Q&A I would like to summarize our 2024 guidance.
Speaker Change: Total revenue for the full year of 255 million to 265 million.
Sandra Beaver: This equates to 26 to 31% growth for the full year, with adjusted gross margins in the range of 68 to 71 percent, and full year 2024 non-GAAP operating expenses between $185 million and $190 million. Profitability, defined as positive non-GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of 2024 and for the full year 2025. As a point of note, due to one-time filler launch expenses, within 2025 profitability may not be achieved every quarter. Other modeling assumptions for 2024 include quarterly interest expense of $4.4 million and full year weighted average shares outstanding of approximately $57 million.
Speaker Change: Equates to 26% to 31% growth for the full year.
Speaker Change: Adjusted gross margins in the range of 68% to 71%.

Speaker Change: Other modeling assumptions for 2024 include quarterly interest expense of $4 4 million and full year weighted average shares outstanding of approximately $57 million.
Sandra Beaver: Looking beyond 2024, we continue to target total revenue of at least $700 million in 2028, driven by continued growth in share grains in our neurotoxin business in the US and international market, along with a growing contribution from our line of fillers that begins in 2025. This equates to a compounded annual growth rate of 28% on a total addressable market of approximately $6 billion a day, growing to approximately $10 billion by 2028. Now, let me turn the call back to the operator to begin the Q&A. And thank you.
Speaker Change: Looking beyond 2024, we continue to target total revenue of at least $700 million in 2028, driven by continued growth and share gains in our neurotoxin business in the U S and international market.
Speaker Change: Along with a growing contribution from our line of fillers that begins in 2025.
Speaker Change: This equates to a compound annual growth rate of 28% on a total addressable market of approximately $6 billion today.
Speaker Change: Going to approximately $10 billion by 2028 now let me turn the call back to the operator to begin Q&A.

Annabel Eva Samimy: For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the start key. One moment, please, while we pull for questions. Our first question comes from Annabel Samimy with Stiefel Police Station. Hi, thanks for taking my questions and congratulations on some interesting data. So it looks like we're getting pretty close to the commercial launch of the Evoluse and Steam product line. So I was wondering if you planned on implementing any bundling-like programs initially when you launch Evoluse or keeping it independent until it gains some traction? You know, I guess I was just looking for any thoughts around your strategy there. And I guess, you know, secondarily, I guess I want to understand the color that drove your accelerated increase in the counts.
Speaker Change: Equipment and may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys.
Speaker Change: Please while we poll for questions.
Speaker Change: Our first question comes from Annabel <unk> with Stifel. Please state your question.
Speaker Change: Hi.
Annabel: Thanks for taking my questions and congratulations on some interesting data so it.
Annabel: It looks like we're getting pretty close to commercial launch.
Annabel: Police and steam product line. So I was wondering if you plan on implementing any bundle bundling like programs. Initially when you launch at least or keep it independent until they gain some traction in.
Annabel: I guess I was just looking on.
Annabel: And any thoughts around your strategy there.
Annabel: And I guess are you know.
Annabel: Secondarily, I guess I want to understand the color that drove your accelerated increase in accounts.
David Moatazedi: And do you expect this to be sustainable? And do you have any type of target penetration in terms of the accounts that you want to reach before you focus more on just penetrating more deeply into these accounts versus broadening out? So those are a few of my questions, and I can get back in the queue. I always have more.
And do you expect this to be sustainable and do you have any type of target penetration.
Annabel: In terms of the accounts that you want to reach them.
Speaker Change: Before you focus more on penetrating more deeply into these accounts versus broadening out. So those are a few of my questions and I can get back in the queue.
David Moatazedi: Well, thank you for the questions, Annabel. Let me start with our current business, and I'll address the Evolus question second. As far as the increase in the accounts that you saw in the back half of the year, it accelerated in the front half. If you look even further back into 2022, you see an accelerating trend that started to form before that as well. And I think from our standpoint, it's just an indication of the increasing interest in partnering with Evolus. We don't have any additional incentives for our sales force to expand the number of new accounts that we get each quarter.
Speaker Change: I always have more.
Speaker Change: Well, thank you for the questions Annabel let.
Speaker Change: Let me start with our current business and I'll address the <unk> question second as.
Speaker Change: As far as the.
Speaker Change: The increase in accounts that you saw in the back half of the year it accelerated over the front half as you look even further back.
Speaker Change: Into 2022, we saw an accelerating trend that started to form before that as well and I think.
Speaker Change: From our standpoint, it's just an indication of the increasing interest in partnering with <unk>. We don't have any additional incentives for our sales force to expand the number of new accounts that we're getting each quarter. It's just a function of the demand that we're seeing in the market. So we're really pleased to see that increase now despite all of that.
David Moatazedi: It's just a function of the demand that we're seeing in the market. So we're really pleased to see that increase. Now, despite all that, we've finished 2023 with 12,000 accounts in a market with over 30,000 purchasing customers. So we still have a significant opportunity to continue to go wider, which we anticipate will be an effort over the coming years, as we continue to expand our footprint and build our trust with these practices around the country. Now, as far as going deeper, that is an initiative as well within our existing customer base. We do stratify our customers based on our tiers, which we call Evolux. And the top tier of customers certainly gets more attention from our sales force. They also earn more benefits in the co-branded media program. And those types of activities have us engaging with these practices more.
Speaker Change: We finished 2023.
Speaker Change: With 12000 accounts in a market with over 30000 purchasing customers. So as you know we still have a significant opportunity to continue to go wider which we anticipate will be an effort over the coming years as we continue to expand our footprint and build our trust with these practices around the country and as far as going deeper.
Speaker Change: That is an initiative is well within our existing customer base, we do stratify, our customers based on our tears, which we call <unk> and the top tier of customers certainly get more attention from our sales force sales for earn more benefits in the co branded media program and those types of activities have us engaging.
Speaker Change: With these practices more than what we did observe was that our existing base of customers. We're growing at a healthy clip as a matter of fact growing at a significantly faster clip than the market more broadly so that gives us very good confidence in the fact that our share gains even in established customers still has a lot of opera.
David Moatazedi: And what we did observe was that our existing base of customers was growing at a healthy cliff, and, in fact, growing at a significantly faster rate than the market more broadly. So that gives us very good confidence in the fact that our shared gains, even in established customers, still have a lot of opportunity for growth. In addition to that, I think that kind of dovetails into your question around Evolux, which you asked about bundling.
Speaker Change: Unity for growth.
Speaker Change: In addition to that I think that kind of dovetails into your question around ever leaves switches.
Speaker Change: You asked around bundling I think what we've done thats different with our.
David Moatazedi: I think what we've done that's different with our offering to customers is that we do have pricing for our brand Juveau. And as you purchase more, you get benefits for the price, just like every other company in this space does. But what we've done that's unique is as you purchase more from us, we reinvest back into the practice through co-branded media. We do believe that that reinvestment helps partner with these practices. It helps them to grow and learn.
Speaker Change: Offering customers is that we do have pricing for our brands <unk> and as you purchase more you get benefits for the pricing just like every other company in this space to us, but what we've done. This unique is as you purchase more from US we reinvest back into the practice through co branded media we.
Speaker Change: We do believe that that reinvestment helps.
Speaker Change: Partner with these practices that help them to grow and it also helps drive our own brand awareness and that's the type of partnership that we wanted to forge over time across our portfolio. So as we look ahead to <unk> clearly that is launching in the filler market is a different category. It's when we have a lot of experience and as a management team.
David Moatazedi: And it also helps drive our own brand awareness. And that's the type of partnership that we want to forge over time across our portfolio. So as we look ahead to Evolux, clearly, that is launching in the filler market in a different category.
David Moatazedi: It's one we have a lot of experience in as a management team, and we recognize that the needs are different in that market. However, the common element is the same.
Speaker Change: And we recognize that the needs are different in that market. However, the common element.
David Moatazedi: Is there an interest in these practices to grow and to build their brand in partnership with us? And so we anticipate the co-branded media will be an umbrella that carries across our franchise going forward. But as far as what we might do with pricing, I think it's probably too early to get into that level. Okay, great. Thank you. And if you could just share, do you have any?
Speaker Change: Is the interest in these practices to grow and to build their brand in partnership with us and so we anticipate the co branded media will be an umbrella that carries across our franchise going forward.
Speaker Change: But as far as what we might do with pricing I think it's probably too early to get into that level of detail.
Speaker Change: Okay, great. Thank you and if you could just share do you have.
David Moatazedi: Essence, has market share within the Evolux practices increased given that you've got much more significant growth in the, um, those practices than you do in the broader market? Yeah, it's hard to quantify exactly what our share is across practices. But we do know that, as we commented in my opening remarks, that overall, in the fourth quarter, we believe we achieved a 12% unit share.
Speaker Change: Our sense has a market share within the ethics practices increase given that you've got much more significant growth in those.
Speaker Change: Those practices so that you do.
Speaker Change: Oh for the broader market.
Speaker Change: Yes, it's hard to quantify.
Speaker Change: Actually what our shares across practices, we do know that as we commented in my opening remarks that overall in the fourth quarter. We believe we achieved a 12% unit share.
David Moatazedi: That's the highest unit share we've achieved since launch. We achieved that partially driven by our account penetration into the 12,000 customers, and also due to going deeper with an existing customer. So, it's hard to say exactly where we sit overall within the existing 12,000 customers that are purchasing Jiveau. The last update we gave was that we thought we were around 20 to 25% market share. We expect to be above that. I just don't have an updated number to give you at this time.
Speaker Change: It's the highest unit share we've achieved since launch.
Speaker Change: We achieved that partially driven by our account penetration to the 12000 customers and also due to going deeper within existing customers. So it's hard to say exactly where we sit overall within the existing.
Speaker Change: 12000 customers that are purchasing gibeau. The last update we gave was we thought we were around 20% to 25% market share we expect to be above that I. Just don't have an updated number to give you at this time.
David Moatazedi: Okay, great. Thank you. Our next question comes from Marc Goodman with Lyrinc Partners. Hey, thanks for taking my question. This is Rudy on the line for Marc.
Okay, great. Thank you.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from Marc Goodman with <unk> Leerink partners. Please state your question.
Marc Harold Goodman: Hey, Thanks for taking my question this really underlying for Mark. So regarding 2024 sales guidance can you talk about.
Marc Harold Goodman: So regarding 2024 sales guidance, can you talk about the growth driver in your assumption, like provide color on what percentage contribution from values versus pricing, and maybe remind us of the discount relative to Botox. Thanks. Yeah, of course, thank you so much for the question. As relates to our 2024 sales guidance, as we delivered in 2023, significant growth at 36%, right? We see a great opportunity to continue to leverage that back half accelerated growth into 2024 with the guidance that we gave at $255 and $265 million. As we noticed, the majority of our revenue performance came from volumes. However, we continue to see stability in price and the opportunity to potentially raise prices and continue to close the gap between Jubeau and Botox.
The growth driver EUR assumption like provide color on what percentage contribution from where it was versus pricing and maybe remind us that discount relative to botox.
Marc Harold Goodman: Yeah. Thank you so much for the question.
Speaker Change: As it relates to our 2024 guidance as we delivered in 2023 significant growth of 36% rate, we see a great opportunity to continue to leverage that back half accelerated growth into 2024 with the guidance that we gave at $275 million to $265 million as we noted the majority of our revenue.
Speaker Change: Performance came from volume However, we continue to see stability in price and the opportunity to potentially raise price and continue to close the gap between <unk> and botox the.
Marc Harold Goodman: The majority of our growth in 2024 continues to be driven by volume. As David mentioned, we're significantly under penetrated in the market, whether it's within the accounts we currently sell in, or by adding new accounts available to us across the US. But we also see an opportunity to continue to press price where it's appropriate. Thanks. Very helpful. Our next question comes from Louise Chen with Canter Fitzgerald. Unknown Speaker 0 3 01 0 03 19 05 06 04 07 03 04 06 07 03 04 04 05 06 07 04 06 07 05 06 06 09 04 06, Hi, congrats on all the progress and thank you for taking my questions here.
Speaker Change: <unk> of our growth in 2024 continues to be driven by volume as David mentioned, we're significantly underpenetrated in the market whether it's within the accounts, we currently sell in or by adding new accounts available to us across the U S.
Speaker Change: But we also see an opportunity to continue to press price, where it's appropriate.
Speaker Change: Thanks very helpful.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from Louise Chen with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please state your question.
Louise Alesandra Chen: Hi, Congrats on all the progress and thank you for taking my questions here. So I wanted to ask you is there any way you can quantify or at least qualitatively tell us how profitable you expect to be in the fourth quarter and then how are you thinking about a S. P. In 2024 for chip out and you know what are you factoring into your guidance. There and then last thing is just when we model out.
Sandra Beaver: So I wanted to ask you, is there any way you can quantify or at least qualitatively tell us how profitable you expect to be in the fourth quarter? And then how are you thinking about AFP in 2024 for Jiveau? And, you know, what are you factoring into your guidance there? And then last thing, when we model out 2024, how should we think about seasonality for Jiveau? Thank you. Okay, great. Louise, let me take the first part around.
Louise Alesandra Chen: 'twenty 'twenty four or how should we think about seasonality for you Bob.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Speaker Change: Okay, Great Louise let me take the first part around.
David Moatazedi: How do you think about the pricing for 2024? I think, as Sandra just commented, our pricing has been very strong since launch. Our ASP has only gone up for this product.
Speaker Change: How you think about.
Bob: Pricing for 2024, I think is Sandra just commented.
Bob: Our pricing has been very strong since launch our ASP has only gone up for this product and I think as we continue to shift our focus on the value, we're bringing customers. We continue to reassess how we can continue to narrow the gap versus the market leader and we've seen more and more price competition and we've continued to build.
David Moatazedi: And I think as we continue to shift our focus on the value we're bringing customers, we continue to reassess how we can continue to narrow the gap versus the market leader. And we've seen more and more price competition, and we've continued to build our pricing favorably in order to drive volume. And we'll continue to do the same. As you think about this year, it's predominantly driven by volume and not price. I think that's the case for the entire category, frankly.
Bob: Our pricing favorably in order to drive the volume and we'll continue to do the same as you think about this year, it's predominantly driven by volume and not price I think that's the case for the entire category frankly, but.
David Moatazedi: But you should expect that prices will be steady and higher for us over time. Louise, as it relates to your other question on profitability, I think, as you can imagine, we outperformed our own expectations here in the fourth quarter of 2023, delivering well above the top end of our guidance, and including the share issuance related to our European filler license, we have, frankly, achieved profitability here in Q3, 2024, sorry, 2023, excuse me. So, as you can imagine, that creates a great foundation for us to build off of and gave us the confidence we needed to deliver the revision to our guidance for 2024, where we are confident we'll achieve that profitability again in Q4. As it relates to how much profitability, I think we'll continue to assess that throughout the year, but we have great momentum going into 2024, and we continue to have disciplined operating expense management, so that enabled us to give ourselves that revised guidance, whatever it is for the season now.
I would expect that prices are steady and up for us overtime.
Speaker Change: Let me just as it relates to your other question.
Speaker Change: Profitability I think as you can imagine we outperformed our own expectations here in the fourth quarter of 2023, delivering well above the top end of our guidance and excluding the share issuance related to our European filler license. We are frankly achieve profitability here in Q3, 2024 psychiatry excuse me. So as you can imagine that creates a great found.
Speaker Change: Patients, perhaps to build off of and gave us the confidence we needed to deliver the revision to our guidance for 2024, we are confident we'll achieve that profitability again in Q4 of 2024.
Speaker Change: Relates to how much profitability I think we will continue to assess that throughout the year, but we have great momentum going into 2024, and we continue to have disciplined operating expense management, so that enabled us to give us that revised guidance.
Anything on the seasonality.
David Moatazedi: I think seasonality has been fairly predictable in this market if you back out the one COVID period that we were in, and we expect to see similar trends where the fourth quarter will be the strongest quarter of the year, followed by the second, and then generally, the third quarter is the weakest season of the calendar year, and we're expecting it to mirror that this year.
Speaker Change: I think seasonality has been fairly predictable in this market if you back out.
Speaker Change: The one COVID-19 period that we're in and you should we expect to see similar trends for the fourth quarter will be the strongest quarter of the year followed by the second.
Speaker Change: And then generally the third quarter is the weakest season of the calendar year, and we're expecting it to mirror that this year.
David Moatazedi: And our next question comes from Navann Thai of BNP Paribas. Please state your question. Hi. Hi, everyone.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Nevada: And our next question comes from Nevada tie with BNP Paribas. Please state your question.
Hi.
Navann Thai: Thanks for taking my question. I was just curious if your guidance includes some upcoming competition in the U.S. from Rochelle and Galderon. Thank you. Yes, as you know, earlier this month, QGEL received FDA approval for their neurotoxin latebo.
Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking my questions.
Nevada: I was just curious if your guidance increase.
Upcoming competition from in the U S from <unk> and Gander Mountain.
Nevada: Thank you.
Speaker Change: Yes, as you know.
Speaker Change: Earlier this month <unk> received.
Speaker Change: The approval for their neurotoxin with Tivo.
David Moatazedi: We were aware of their PDUFA date, and we had assumed in our guidance when we provided that guidance in January that they would be entering the market in 2024. So nothing changes as far as that guidance is concerned. As you know, now we've had a new entrant in late 2022. And, of course, you saw our performance last year, where growth accelerated in the back half of the year, despite a new entrant coming into the market. And of course, this year, we'll likely see the entrance of QGEL with Latebo joining.
Speaker Change: We were aware of their <unk> date, we had assumed in our guidance when you provided that in January.
Speaker Change: They would be entering the market in 2024, so nothing changes as far as that guidance is as you know now.
Speaker Change: We had a new entrant in late 2022.
Speaker Change: You saw our performance last year.
Speaker Change: <unk> growth accelerated in the back half of the year, despite a new entrant coming into the market and of course. This year, we will we'll likely see the entrants of few gel with with Tivo entering in as you May know we are launching in Europe around the same time as you gel ability both product and we've continued to perform very well in those markets.
David Moatazedi: And as you may know, we are launching in Europe around the same time as QGEL, the latebo product, and we've continued to perform very well in those markets. Look, there's plenty of room for new competitors. This is a high-growth market. I think what's unique about our value proposition in the market, and we'll continue to build on that. And we believe that will drive meaningful growth in the future. Thanks, that's helpful.
Speaker Change: Look there's plenty of room for new competitors. This is a high growth market I think what's unique is our value proposition in the market and we will continue to build on that and we believe that will drive meaningful growth in the future.
Speaker Change: Thanks, that's helpful. Thank you.
David Moatazedi: Thank you. And our next question is Serge Belanger with Needham and Company, please. Good afternoon, and thanks for taking my questions. First one, I guess regarding the number of new account additions in the fourth quarter, a pretty big number, larger than, I think, the average. , Dr. David Moatazedi, Rui Avelar, David Erickson, Louise Chen, Serge Belanger, Douglas Tsao, Uy Ear, Gregory Fraser, Sandra Beaver, Navann Dietschi, Mikaela Franceschina, Ned Mitchell, volumes, and things like that.
Speaker Change: And our next question comes from Serge Belanger with Needham and company. Please state your question.
Serge D. Belanger: Hi, good afternoon, thanks for taking my questions.
Serge D. Belanger: First one I guess regarding the number of new account additions in the fourth quarter.
Serge D. Belanger: The big number to.
Serge D. Belanger: It was larger than I think the average.
Serge D. Belanger: Okay.
Serge D. Belanger: First part of 2023.
Serge D. Belanger: Is that sustainable going forward.
Serge D. Belanger: And then secondly.
Serge D. Belanger: We're nine months nine weeks or so into the first quarter.
Serge D. Belanger: You give us any color on what the market environment is like in terms of volumes and things like that thanks.
Serge D. Belanger: Sure. Good question about the account ads. We went into the year last year assuming we'd be adding roughly 500 to 600 new accounts a quarter. So we were equally, frankly, as impressed by the number that the field brought in of new customers. We don't have a set number that we require in terms of new accounts per quarter.
Speaker Change: Sure. Good question about the account as we went into the year last year, assuming we'd be adding roughly five to 600, new accounts a quarter. So we were equally frankly is as <unk>.
Speaker Change: Impressed by the number that <unk> brought in new customers.
Speaker Change: We don't have a set number that we require in terms of new accounts per quarter. So I can't commit to the number of account adds I think it's dependent on the territory and the opportunity in front of them spending their time going deeper with customers or just the interest level thats coming in from new accounts as you may recall when we.
David Moatazedi: So I can't commit to the number of account ads. I think it's dependent on the territory and the opportunity in front of them of spending the time going deeper with customers or just the interest level that's coming in from new accounts. As you may recall, when we acquire a new account, we educate them on not just the product, but we send in training as well so they can understand the unique precision profile of our brand. We also review our benefits through co-branded media and Evolux. And it generally takes about 12 months for a new account to become meaningfully profitable.
Speaker Change: Acquire new accounts, we educate them on not just the product, but we send in.
Speaker Change: Training as well so they can understand the unique precision profile of our brand. We also review our benefits through co branded media and <unk> and it generally takes about 12 months for a new account to become meaningfully productive and so that cadence is important to us because we want to ensure that each customer has the <unk>.
David Moatazedi: And so that cadence is important to us because we want to ensure that each customer has the Evolux experience. And so we'll continue to add new accounts as we receive them, but we're limited by just our ability to run them through the proper steps that we believe lead to a productive customer. So that's equally as important to us, of course, as it is to look at the volume of accounts that come in. And as we've now entered the new year, it's been what we expected.
And so we will continue to add new accounts as we receive them, but we're limited by just our ability to run them through the proper steps that we believe lead to a productive customers. So that's equally as important to us of course is as it is to look at the volume of accounts that come in.
Speaker Change: As we've now entered the new year, it's been what we expected we saw very healthy trends in the back half of last year. I think you observed not just in our revenue acceleration, but you've observed broader market that reported that they had reported strong trends from consumer demand, we're seeing similar trends character.
David Moatazedi: We saw very healthy trends in the back half of last year. I think you observed not just in our revenue acceleration, but you observed broader markets that reported that they had reported strong trends from consumer demand. We're seeing similar trends carried through into the call for this year. So it's a good year off to a good start, as we expected, nothing unusual.
Into the call it the first quarter of this year so.
Speaker Change: It's a good year after a good start as we expected.
Speaker Change: Unusual.
Sandra Beaver: Maybe one last one regarding your targets for $700 million in sales by 2028. If you've previously talked about the expected breakdown between Juvo and Evolus in the U.S., but maybe just talk about what we should expect for ex-U.S. contributions to that $700 million revenue target. Serge, I'd be happy to take that.
Speaker Change: Maybe one last one regarding your targets for $700 million in sales by 2028.
Speaker Change: If you've previously talked about the expected breakdown between Juglone Evelyn.
Speaker Change: In the U S, but maybe just talk about what we should expect for ex U S contribution so that $700 million.
Speaker Change: Revenue target.
Speaker Change: Firstly I would be happy to take that so if you look at the $700 million, we expect 10% to 15% of that revenue to come from or you ask for call. It in the range of $100 million well where are we then have the remainder coming from both the filler franchise and the Thompson franchise in the U S. As I noted on the call.
Sandra Beaver: So if we look at the $700 million, we expect 10 to 15% of that revenue to come from OUS, so call it in the range of $100 million, where we then have the remainder coming from both the filler franchise and the toxin franchise in the U. S. As I noted on the call, it's a $10 billion market that we've got coverage in by the time you get out to 2028. And as David mentioned, about $1.8 billion of that market is the OUS market. So that still leaves us lots of opportunity to over perform that number.
Speaker Change: It's a $10 billion market that we've got coverage and by the time you get out to 2028 and as David mentioned about $1 8 billion of that market is the <unk> market. So that still leaves us lots of opportunity to over perform that number I think.
Uy Sieng Ear: I think we've been pretty clear that that's the low end of our long-range guidance, and I think that comes from our confidence in the performance of our product as well as the opportunity and the size of the opportunity in these markets across geographies and across the product line. Thank you. Thank you, and our next question comes from Uy Ear with Mizuho Securities. Please sit down. Hey guys, thanks for taking my question and congratulations on hitting non-gap probability.
Speaker Change: Pretty clear that that's the low end of our long range guidance and I think that comes from our confidence in the performance of our product as well as the opportunity and the size of the opportunity in these markets across geographies and across the product lines.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Okay.
Thank you and our next question comes from Louise ear with Mizuho Mizuho Securities. Please state your question.
Louise Alesandra Chen: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question and congrats on hitting non-GAAP profitability.
Rui Avelar: So, on the Restylane L study, I was wondering if you guys could sort of talk a bit about maybe the differences or similarities in safety with respect either to bruising and swellings or any other types of things that might have been noticed. And I guess the second question is, and could you also kind of elaborate on, you know, the market with millennials in particular for Lyft? I'm just curious to see how that's sort of changing, you know, is it sort of a similar kind of I guess, um, did they see sort of the similar kind of benefits that he received from Jevo? Because, um, you know, they're not, um, I guess historically, these products have sort of been used in older patients. I'll take your first question, Uy.
Louise Alesandra Chen: So.
Louise Alesandra Chen: On the the wrestling Umm Al study I was wondering if you guys can sort of talk a bit about maybe the differences or similarities and safety with respect either to bruising and.
Louise Alesandra Chen: Swelling and or any other types of things that might have been notable.
Louise Alesandra Chen: And I guess the second question is and could you also kind of elaborate on.
Louise Alesandra Chen: You know the market with millennials in particular for.
Louise Alesandra Chen: For Lyft.
Louise Alesandra Chen: Just curious to see how that's sort of changing.
Louise Alesandra Chen: No.
Louise Alesandra Chen: Yes.
Louise Alesandra Chen: Is it sort of a similar kind of.
Louise Alesandra Chen: Good.
Louise Alesandra Chen: I guess do they see sort of the similar kind of benefits that you receive from Jerusalem cause they're.
Louise Alesandra Chen: They're not.
I guess historically these products have sort of been using older patients.
Louise Alesandra Chen: Patients. Thanks.
Speaker Change: I'll take your first question the in terms of the rest of the AE profile.
Rui Avelar: In terms of the rest of the AE profile, when you look at them, they're pretty similar. If anything, if I recall correctly, the AE trends, we're actually favoring Avelis versus the Restylane product. In terms of the swelling, again, as an AE, it's pretty similar, again, seem to favor Avelis.
Speaker Change: When you're looking at they are pretty similar if anything if I recall correctly.
Speaker Change: If you look at the AE trends will actually favorite I beliefs versus the rest of clean product.
Speaker Change: The swelling again SMA.
Pretty similar again seem to favor and beliefs in terms of swelling post procedure. It's just slightly different one of the pieces of feedback that we've gotten very consistently is one of the reasons why they seem to like injectors seem they have lease product is what you correct. Two is what you.
Rui Avelar: In terms of swelling post-procedure, which is slightly different, one of the pieces of feedback that we've gotten very consistently is one of the reasons why they seem to like injectors, like to think that the Avelis product is what you correct is what you get. In other words, you don't have to inject product and then take into consideration, is this product going to swell over time, or do I have to under-correct, or do I have to over-correct? The comment that we're getting consistently from the investigators is... Just correct to your optimal correction, and you're done. You don't have to take any additional spelling into consideration.
Speaker Change: In other words, you don't have to inject product and then take into consideration. This protocol to swell over time for us to have the undercurrent to have to Ofer correct.
Speaker Change: The comment that we're getting consistently from the investigators is.
Speaker Change: Just correct to your optimal correction and you're done you don't have to take any additional sprung into consideration.
David Moatazedi: And then, as far as the demographics that are getting injected with fillers, I think you're right. First, on average, fillers overall skew a bit older than neurotoxins. Now, that being said, as you go a layer deeper, consumers that are younger are coming in for filler treatment on the lips, and so the lips seem to be the gateway for the younger generation, and then it works its way into other areas, whereas as you move to the cheeks, it's generally an older generation that's getting treated further up their cheekbones.
And then as far as the demographics that are getting injected with fillers I think youre right first on on average fillers overall skew a bit older than neurotoxins.
Speaker Change: Now that being said.
Speaker Change: As you go a layer deeper.
Speaker Change: Consumers that are younger coming in for filler treatment from the lips, and so lift seems to be the gateway for the younger generation and then it works its way into other areas, whereas as you move to the cheeks. It's generally an older generation that's getting treated further up in their cheekbones.
David Moatazedi: And so the answer is it varies, which is why we have a full portfolio of products, just as you see the market leaders do as well, so that you're treating different patient types. And I think that gives us a unique opportunity. In the end, the way we look at the filler business is a little different, which is first, we look at it by product, meaning we expect this lip product to be the most versatile. And just like Givaud has indicated in the glabellar lines, it is often used outside of our indication and outside the glabellar area to areas that are not approved, like the forehead and the crow's feet, and so are all of the
Speaker Change: And so the answer is it varies which is why we have a full portfolio of products just as you see the market leaders do as well so that you're treating different patient types and that gives us a unique opportunity in the end the way we look at the filler business a little different which is first.
Speaker Change: We look at it by product, meaning we expect this lift products would be the most versatile and just like you've always indicated Nikola behler lines. It is often used outside of our indication and outside the cabela area to areas that are not approved like beforehand, and the crow's feet and so are all other toxins.
David Moatazedi: The same applies with some of these fillers, like the Lift product, which is versatile, and Restylane, which is also considered a versatile filler, where a patient may get injected in areas like the lips and also the nasolabial folds and other areas. So I think there's a lot more we need to learn about how we'll position each of the brands and what that means for our consumer segmentation. But in the end, the overlap between the customers actually injecting these fillers is nearly one-to-one with our toxin users, and so it gives us an opportunity to learn with our existing customers how best to do that. Do you foresee perhaps maybe going deeper or wider, I guess, into sort of the outside of the spas? Yeah, so in today's business, to your point, of the 12,000 customers, we said that our largest customer set is the medical spa channel, followed by germs and plastics. And we believe that overall, for the category of neurotoxins, medical spas are the single largest group that does these.
Speaker Change: The same applies with some of these fillers like the lift product, which is versatile including the wrestling product, which is also considered a versatile filler where a patient may get injected in areas like the lifts and also the new deliberate folds in other areas. So I think there's a lot more we need to learn about how we will position each of the brands and what that means for our consumer segmentation.
Speaker Change: But in the end the overlap between the customers actually injecting. These pillars is nearly one to one with our toxin users and so it gives us an opportunity to learn with our existing customers how best to do that.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Speaker Change: Do you foresee, perhaps maybe going deeper or wider I guess into sort of the outside of the spas I guess.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Speaker Change: Yes, so our business today to your point of the 12000 customers we have.
<unk> said that our largest customer set as a medical spa channel.
Speaker Change: Followed by Germs and plastics.
Speaker Change: We believe that overall for the category.
Speaker Change: Oh toxins medical spas are the single largest group.
David Moatazedi: And we also know that germs and plastics tend to use, on average, a little bit more filler than medical spas do per treatment. So I do believe that this will accelerate our expansion into new customers. We have heard from customers that are thinking about working with us that the addition of the filler is a catalyst for them, and we do believe that that's going to be another growth driver that enables you to be more successful over time. But it starts with establishing a new filler line and the value of that filler product. To the extent that those practices see a lot of the benefits that we're seeing here in the clinical data relative to other products they may use, we do believe that that will translate over to benefits in their utilization of Gervaux as well. Thank you. Thank you. And our next question comes from Douglas Tsao with H.C. Wainwright Police.
Speaker Change: We also know terms in plastics.
Speaker Change: And to use on average a little bit more filler.
Speaker Change: Medical spas do per treatment. So I do believe that this will accelerate our expansion.
Speaker Change: Engine, new customers, we have heard from customers that are thinking about working with US that the addition of the filler is a catalyst for them.
And we do believe that that's going to be another growth driver that enables <unk> to be more successful over time, but it starts with establishing a new filler line in the value of that filler products to the extent that those practices see a lot of the benefits that we're seeing here in the clinical data relative to other products. They may use we do believe that that will.
Speaker Change: Translate over to benefits on their utilization of <unk> as well.
Thank you.
Speaker Change: Thank you and our next question comes from Douglas Tsao with H C. Wainwright. Please state your question.
Douglas Dylan Tsao: Transcribed by https://otter.ai Hi, good afternoon, and thanks for taking the questions and congratulations on the progress. So, you know, David, maybe following up on that last question, just when you think about adding the Eppley fillers, do you think that this There is more opportunity for you to add new accounts, or maybe talk about the opportunity to just go deeper into accounts who might be using QVO but perhaps are still sort of continuing to use some of the competitor products to get access to discounts on their fillers. Thank you. Yeah, look, I recognize the simple answer is to say one or the other.
Douglas Dylan Tsao: Hi, good afternoon, and thanks for taking the questions and congrats on the progress.
Douglas Dylan Tsao: David maybe following up on that last question, just when you think about adding.
Douglas Dylan Tsao: The Applebees still or do you think that this theres more opportunity for you to add new accounts or maybe talk about the opportunity to just go deeper into accounts.
Douglas Dylan Tsao: B using <unk>, but perhaps are still sort of.
Douglas Dylan Tsao: Continuing to use some of the competitive products do you get access to discounts on their fillers. Thank you.
Speaker Change: Yeah look I recognize the simple answer is to say one or the other but the reality of it is we have.
David Moatazedi: But the reality of it is that we have sales reps deployed across the US that cover a range of customers from our existing users that are very loyal, and I hear firsthand that they would love to get Evolus into their hands and start using the product. So we expect that our existing customers will want to have access, and they will want to trial the product. On the other hand, as I'm out in the field, I'm talking to customers that are in some stage of considering partnering with us on Juveau. And Evolus, and the technology itself, and now the data, are compelling reasons to start doing that. So I do believe in the end it's going to be a mix.
Sales reps deployed across the U S that cover a range of customers from our existing users that are very loyal where I hear firsthand that they would love to get a lease into their hands and start using the product. So we expect that our existing customers will want to have access and they will want to trial the product on the other hand as him.
Speaker Change: Outlet field I'm talking to customers that are in some stage of considering partnering with us on <unk> and <unk> and the technology itself.
Speaker Change: And now the data are compelling reasons to start doing that so I do believe in the end, it's going to be a mix its hard with product launches to determine which is going to be a bigger contributor but look we've been on the market for five years, We command, 12% unit share as of the end of this year, it's not an insignificant.
David Moatazedi: It's hard with product launches to determine which is going to be a bigger contributor. But look, we've been on the market for five years. We command 12% of the unit share as of the end of this year, not an insignificant share.
David Moatazedi: And those customers partner with us because they believe that we're a quality company that reflects their value system, and we invest in their growth. And I do believe that we're philosophically aligned with these practices in a way that they would be aligned with us as we introduce a new product to the extent that we can continue to demonstrate that we have a high quality differentiated filler that gives their practice unique advantages. And so, with that, I do think our existing practices are excited about this. There's a lot we have to do between now and commercialization. It's exciting, I can tell you we have a team dedicated 100% to fillers inside this company working on our commercialization strategy. It will be different. It won't be like the other products.
Speaker Change: Sure and those customers partnered with us because they believe that were quality company that reflects their value system and we invest in their growth and I do believe that we're philosophically aligned with these practices in a way that.
Speaker Change: They would be aligned with us as we introduce a new product to the extent as where we can continue to do demonstrate that we have a high quality differentiated filler that gives their practice unique advantages.
Speaker Change: With that I do think our existing practices or are excited about this there's a lot we have to do between now and commercialization. It's exciting I can tell you we have a team dedicated 100% of fillers inside this company working through our commercialization strategy it will be different it wont be like the other products.
David Moatazedi: We believe this product has a lot of potential, and so we're looking forward to this next phase of the company. That being said, we don't expect the fillers to launch this year.
We believe this product has a lot of potential.
Speaker Change: So we're looking forward to this next phase of the company that being said, we don't expect the fillers to launch this year and so our focus is entirely on <unk> in the market with practices.
David Moatazedi: And so our focus is entirely on JVO in the market with practices. And we believe that the growth that we've demonstrated here in our guidance reflects what we can deliver as a standalone single product focus company this. Okay, great. And then just as a follow-up, when you think about the filler launch, which I hear your point isn't this year, but I think Sandra talked about some, you know, incremental costs associated with it. Do you expect to increase the size of the sales force? Or when you talk about higher expenses for the launch, is that mostly going to be around promotion and, and, and, and other, you know, other spending? Yeah, I think we'll be in a position to provide a little more granularity as we get closer to commercialization. The reality of it is we don't anticipate a large investment in one pocket of this, meaning a significant sales force expansion. I think we have a very diverse organization. This digital footprint that we've developed makes us very efficient from an operational standpoint and allows us to maximize our reach despite the size of our field footprint.
Speaker Change: And we believe that the growth that we've demonstrated here in our guidance reflects what we can deliver as a standalone single product focused company this year.
Speaker Change: Okay, Great and then just as a follow up when you think about.
Speaker Change: The filler launch, which I hear your point isn't this year, but I.
Speaker Change: I think as Andrew talked about some incremental costs associated with it do you expect to increase the size of the sales force or when you talk about higher expenses for the launches that mostly just going to be around promotion.
Speaker Change: And other.
Speaker Change: Other spot.
Speaker Change: Yes, I think it will be in a position to provide a little more granularity as we get closer to commercialization.
Speaker Change: If it is we don't anticipate a large investment in one pocket of this meaning a significant sales force expansion I think we have a very diverse organization. This digital footprint that we have developed makes us very efficient from an operational standpoint and allows us to maximize our reach despite the size of our field.
David Moatazedi: So we're going to continue to lean heavily on our digital capabilities. I would expect there would be some marginal increase in the sales force, but we've continued to do that. As you know, every six to nine months, we opportunistically add to our sales force. We've been doing that consistently now for multiple years. Matter of fact, we did one in the back half of last year, and you saw that reflected in our off X in the fourth quarter was the cost of expanding that team. That team just hit the field in January.
Speaker Change: Print and so we're going to continue to lean heavily on our digital capabilities I would expect there would be some marginal increase in the sales force, but we've continued to do that as you know every six to nine months, we opportunistically add to our sales force we've been doing that consistently now for multiple years Matt.
Speaker Change: For a fact, we did one in the back half of last year, you saw that reflected in our opex in the fourth quarter was the cost of expanding that team that team just hit the field in January.
David Moatazedi: So it's helping us continue to expand our footprint now, not only for the growth we have but in anticipation of the filler that's coming. And, of course, co-branded media and education are very important parts of the investment mix that we'll make. And those are things that we're evaluating now, how we continue to bring products to market in a way that is different from what's traditionally been done. And I think you can expect that we'll get creative in that way as we get closer to launch. And we'll share that with you. Okay, great.
So it's helping us continue to expand our footprint now not only for the <unk> growth, we have but in anticipation of the salary thats coming and of course. These co branded media and education are very important parts of the investment mix that will make and those are the things that we're evaluating now how we continue to bring prada.
Speaker Change: <unk> to market in a way that is different from what's traditionally been done and I think you can expect that we'll get creative in that way as we get closer to launch and share that with you.
Speaker Change: Okay, great. Thank you.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from <unk> Prasad with Barclays. Please state your question.
David Moatazedi: Thank you. Our next question comes from Balaji Prasad with Barclays Police. Good afternoon, this is Xiao-An for Balaji. Thanks for taking our question. It has been two quarters since Ravens.
Speaker Change: Good afternoon. This is Sean on for <unk>. Thanks for taking our question. It has been two quarters since the Ravens changed its pricing strategy on taxi five have you seen any impact on the gross uptick off of jumbo and how do you expect market share so change Luis taxi <unk> price being similar to Botox now thank you.
Balaji V. Prasad: Pricing Strategy on Dexify. Have you seen any impact on the growth uptake of JVO? And how do you expect market shares to change with Dexify pricing?...
David Moatazedi: Sure. Thanks for the question. Look, I think with every new entrant, you try to establish what your value proposition is to the market. And, as you pointed out, the latest entrant made a significant shift in their pricing strategy early on in the launch. The fourth quarter, I think, was the first whole quarter that you saw that competitor in the market with new pricing, and you saw the growth that we delivered. I think we said all along that the entrance of a new competitor wouldn't change our focus. I think that applies not just to prior competitors; it applies to new competitors coming in.
Speaker Change: Sure.
Speaker Change: For the question.
Speaker Change: Look I think.
Speaker Change: With every new entrant you try to establish what your value proposition is to the market and as you pointed out.
Speaker Change: The latest entrant made a significant shift in their pricing strategy early on in the launch of <unk>.
Speaker Change: Fourth quarter I think was the first full quarter that you saw that that competitor in the market with new pricing and you saw the growth that we delivered I think we said all along that the entrance of a new competitor doesn't change our focus I think that applies not just to <unk>.
Speaker Change: Prior competitors that applies to new competitors coming in and that doesn't mean that we don't take competitors seriously and were not prepared for them, but it also means that we try to maintain our focus against the real opportunity, which is we see this as a beauty category and that consumers are looking to partner with a brand that aligns with their values and we've built this brand.
David Moatazedi: And that doesn't mean that we don't take competitors seriously, and we're not prepared for them, but it also means that we try to maintain our focus on the real opportunity, which is that we see this as a beauty category, and that consumers are looking to partner with a brand that aligns with their values. And we've built this brand from the ground up for that younger generation of millennials, everything from our tech space, loyalty program, to the co-branded media, to the way we advertise and communicate the practices. It is a brand that's built for this younger generation, and we believe that our success is driven by our ability to continue to execute on our vision. And it's not driven by the competitive dynamics that have played out in the market.

Speaker Change: Dynamics that have played out in the market.
David Moatazedi: And we've been able to prove that in the fourth quarter. We expect that to continue to be the case going forward. We don't anticipate any changes to our pricing strategy, our promotional strategy, or anything we do on the execution side. I'm really proud of what the team has done, and we'll continue to see really strong execution from that. Thank you for all your questions.
