On August 3, 2026, Evolus Pharma B.V. (“Evolus Europe”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Evolus, Inc. (the “Company”), and Symatese Aesthetics S.A.S. (“Symatese”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the License, Supply and Distribution Agreement dated December 20, 2023 (the “Agreement”), which the Company previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 20, 2023.
The Amendment expands the territory covered by the Agreement to include (i) Canada and (ii) Australia and New Zealand combined, and grants Evolus Europe exclusive rights to commercialize and distribute the full line of Estyme® branded injectable hyaluronic acid gels in those territories. As consideration for the additional rights, Evolus Europe is required to pay €920,000 in upfront signing payments and up to an additional €1.38 million upon receipt of certain regulatory approvals. Symatese will be responsible, at its expense, for the development and regulatory activities required to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals in the additional territories.
The initial term for each new territory is 15 years from the first applicable regulatory approval and will automatically renew for successive five-year terms, subject to the terms of the Agreement.
The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2026.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Evolus Expands Strategic Partnership with Symatese to Commercialize Estyme® in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand
Establishes a complementary injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel portfolio alongside Jeuveau® and Nuceiva® across all Evolus commercial markets
Further leverages Evolus’ international commercial infrastructure to support long-term profitable growth
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., August 4, 2026 – Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a global performance beauty company with a focus on building an aesthetic portfolio of consumer brands, today announced it has expanded its partnership with Symatese through an amendment to the companies’ existing licensing and distribution agreement, providing Evolus with the exclusive rights to commercialize the Estyme® (pronounced “esteem”) collection of injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gels in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
With this agreement and expected commercialization in 2028, Evolus will hold exclusive rights to commercialize its injectable HA gel portfolio in every market where it currently markets Jeuveau® and Nuceiva®, establishing a consistent multi-product commercial platform across its global business.
The agreement further expands Evolus’ long-standing partnership with Symatese and strengthens the company’s international injectable HA gel portfolio by extending Estyme®, currently marketed in the United States under the brand name Evolysse®, into three additional attractive aesthetic markets. Upon regulatory approval, Evolus expects to commercialize the full Estyme® collection across Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, complementing its existing Nuceiva® neurotoxin franchise. Together, the neurotoxin and dermal filler markets across Canada, Australia, and New Zealand represent a total addressable market of approximately $500 million annually, with approximately 60% attributable to neurotoxins and 40% to dermal fillers.
“The addition of Canada, Australia and New Zealand is the final step that allows Evolus to offer the portfolio of Nuceiva® and Estyme® in every international market where we compete,” said David Moatazedi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evolus. “From the beginning, our vision has been to provide customers with a complementary portfolio of best-in-class injectable products that can address the range of aesthetic patient needs. This alignment of our portfolio ensures we can deliver a consistent Evolus experience, strengthens our competitive position, and allows us to maximize the long-term value of the commercial platform we have built.”
Neurotoxins and HA dermal fillers are the two largest categories in injectable aesthetics and are increasingly used together as part of comprehensive facial treatment plans. The Estyme® collection features injectable HA gels utilizing Symatese’s innovative Cold-X® technology that is designed to preserve the natural structure of the HA molecule, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results. By expanding Estyme® into Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, Evolus expects to enhance its value
proposition by providing customers with complementary injectable products through an established commercial organization, creating greater scale across its international business.
Under the terms of the agreement, Symatese will remain responsible for product development, manufacturing, clinical support, and regulatory activities required to obtain and maintain marketing approvals within the licensed territories. Evolus will make an upfront payment to Symatese along with additional payments tied to the achievement of specified regulatory approval milestones. Evolus will also purchase product from Symatese at an agreed transfer price and pay a mid-single digit royalty based on net sales. The agreement is expected to be accretive to Evolus’ international gross margins while leveraging the company’s existing commercial organization, digital platform, and distribution infrastructure across these markets. Commercialization of Estyme® in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand is expected in 2028, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and review processes.
