Evolus (NASDAQ:EOLS) Issues Quarterly Earnings Results

Evolus (NASDAQ:EOLS) announced its earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported ($0.12) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.04) by ($0.08), FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $84.08 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $81.55 million.

Here are the key takeaways from Evolus’ conference call:

• Revenue rose 21% to $84.1 million, with toxin revenue of $75.2 million and injectable hyaluronic acid gel revenue of $8.9 million. Evolus said it gained share across U.S. injectable aesthetics as toxin and filler market conditions improved.
• The company generated $4.7 million of adjusted EBITDA, its third consecutive profitable quarter, while continuing to invest in education, marketing, consumer rewards, and international expansion.
• Evolus raised its 2026 revenue outlook to $330 million-$337 million, increased adjusted gross margin guidance to 67.0%-67.5%, narrowed its non-GAAP operating expense range, and reaffirmed a low- to mid-single-digit adjusted EBITDA margin.
• The company expanded its portfolio and geographic reach through the U.S. Profhilo licensing agreement, the Estyme European launch, and new rights in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Profhilo requires a full PMA process with anticipated approval around 2030 and is viewed as having more than $100 million in peak annual revenue potential.
• Evolus ended the quarter with $45.2 million in cash, down from $49.8 million in the first quarter, and plans to stock approximately one year of Jeuveau inventory in the U.S. as a precaution against potential tariffs, although management said negotiated payment terms should prevent additional cash use.
