NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- (Business Wire)

Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a global performance beauty company with a focus on building an aesthetic portfolio of consumer brands, today announced it has entered into an exclusive licensing and distribution agreement with IBSA, a Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company, to develop and commercialize Profhilo^® in the United States.

Profhilo^® is the market-leading injectable in Europe for skin quality, with global brand recognition and availability in more than 70 countries. Profhilo^® has a strong track record of clinical performance and commercial success across international markets, with more than 4.8 million treatments administered worldwide since its launch in 2015. The product has achieved broad adoption and is well established as the market leader in the injectable skin quality market. The addition of Profhilo^® further enhances Evolus’ injectable portfolio and expands the company’s presence into one of the fastest growing and underpenetrated segments in aesthetics.

Skin quality treatments represent a significant unmet need and growth opportunity in the U.S. and a complementary segment to neurotoxins and dermal fillers, addressing increasing consumer demand for natural-looking, regenerative aesthetic outcomes. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid injectables that are designed primarily to restore volume, contour, or facial structure, Profhilo^® features a unique hyaluronic acid formulation intended for superficial application to improve overall skin quality, including hydration, elasticity, and smoothness. This differentiated approach addresses a distinct patient need and supports a more refined aesthetic outcome that is increasingly favored by patients and practitioners.

“Profhilo^® represents an exciting new chapter for Evolus as we expand into skin quality, one of the fastest growing and most innovative segments in injectable aesthetics,” said David Moatazedi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evolus. “As one of the most recognized and clinically validated products in its category globally, Profhilo^® is a natural complement to our portfolio, addressing a distinct and rapidly growing area of consumer demand. We believe skin quality represents the next frontier in injectable aesthetics in the United States, and with our established commercial infrastructure and digital platform, Evolus is uniquely positioned to help define and accelerate the growth of this emerging category while continuing to build the industry’s leading performance beauty company.”

“We are pleased to partner with Evolus to bring Profhilo^® to the U.S.,” said Salvatore Cincotti, General Manager of IBSA. “Evolus has demonstrated a unique ability to build consumer-focused aesthetic brands and execute in the U.S. market. We believe this collaboration creates a strong opportunity to expand access to Profhilo^® and establish the skin quality category with practitioners and patients in the world’s largest aesthetics market.”

Profhilo^® is based on a unique hyaluronic acid formulation designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. The product has been used in millions of treatments globally, reflecting its established role in clinical practice and providing a strong foundation for introduction into the U.S. market, where demand for minimally invasive aesthetic treatments continues to grow.

The U.S. injectable skin quality category is in early stages compared to Europe. Evolus believes this represents a substantial opportunity to expand the overall aesthetic injectable market by addressing a distinct patient need that complements existing neurotoxin and dermal filler treatments. In more developed international markets, particularly across Europe, skin quality injectables have become a routine component of aesthetic treatment plans, highlighting the long-term growth potential for this category in the U.S.

Under the terms of the agreement, Evolus will be responsible for development activities required for U.S. regulatory approval, as well as commercialization of the product following approval. The agreement reflects Evolus’ disciplined, capital-efficient approach to business development, with no upfront payments. The economics are structured through a transfer-price model designed to support gross margins consistent with Evolus’ long-term financial framework. The agreement is not expected to impact the company’s previously communicated 2026 revenue, operating expense or operating profit outlook, or its previously communicated 2028 revenue or profitability targets.

The addition of Profhilo^® further builds on Evolus’ strategy of expanding across key injectable categories, including neurotoxins, dermal fillers, and now skin quality, enabling the company to address a broader range of patient needs and strengthen its partnership with aesthetic practices. By building a portfolio of differentiated products and leveraging its customer-centric commercial model, Evolus continues to advance its leadership in performance beauty and focus on delivering sustainable, long-term value creation.
