Launch of Evolysse and Market Strategy:
- Evolus launched Evolysse Form and Evolysse Smooth on April 18th in the US, with early interest exceeding expectations, including several thousand clinicians attending webcasts.
- The strategy includes a new lexicon emphasizing hyaluronic acid over filler, which has resonated positively with both clinicians and consumers.

Financial Strength and Debt Refinancing:
- Evolus announced a debt refinancing, reducing interest expense by 350 basis points and providing increased flexibility to support long-term growth.
- The refinancing allows access to an additional $100 million in capacity, enhancing financial resilience while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation.
