David Moatazedi: Thank you, Nareg and good afternoon, everyone. The second quarter represents a meaningful inflection point for Evolus. We delivered 21% revenue growth generated our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. Expanded our international footprint with the launch of Estyme in Europe, and announced 2 strategic licensing agreements that further strengthen our long term portfolio. Importantly, Evolus gained significant share across The U.S. injectable aesthetics market during the quarter. Underscoring the growing momentum of our portfolio strategy across both neurotoxins and hyaluronic acid gels. Reflecting the strength of our first half performance, we also raised our full year 2026 financial outlook. As we enter the second half of the year, we are well positioned to build on this momentum. Consumer demand continued to strengthen during the quarter. Treatment intervals remained stable and practitioners reported healthy patient traffic and engagement. We estimate The U.S. neurotoxin market grew at a faster than expected mid single digit growth rate during the quarter. While the hyaluronic acid gel market returned to positive growth following 2 consecutive years of declines. Consumers continue to prioritize aesthetic treatments, and practices remain focused on products that deliver predictable clinical outcomes and high patient satisfaction. Against this improving backdrop, we continue to meaningfully outpace the market through disciplined commercial execution, which led to market share gains across our portfolio. That execution is evident through our business performance, Global toxin revenue $75 million during the quarter. Driven by double digit toxin growth across both The United States and our international markets. As our portfolio continues to expand, we are seeing customers increasingly adopt our products within their practices. Our portfolio focus is delivering particularly strong results among accounts participating in our Evolus portfolio growth bundle. In the first 6 months since we debuted the program, approximately 70% of these customers purchased Evolysse compared with approximately 25% penetration of Evolysse across our overall customer base. Jeuveau continues to strengthen its competitive position through growing customer loyalty and market share gains. While Evolysse is following the same disciplined commercialization strategy that made Jeuveau successful. During the quarter, Evolysse revenue increased by more than $2 million sequentially, reflecting increased customer penetration reorder rates and utilization. Within existing accounts. Together, these trends reinforce our confidence that our portfolio focus is gaining traction enabling us to increase share across both neurotoxins and injectable hyaluronic acid gels, while deepening customer relationships and expanding our share of wallet. As a result of the continued strength across our portfolio, we remain on track for both Evolysse's and our international business to each contribute more than 10% of total company revenue this year. A key milestone in our evolution is our recent partnership with IPSY to exclusively develop and commercialize ProFuelo in the United States. ProFuelo is an asset we have been actively pursuing because it represents a gold standard in the rapidly emerging skin quality category. With the addition of ProFuelo, Evolus is expanding into a new third injectable aesthetics vertical of skin quality. Further diversifying our differentiated portfolio and reinforcing our strategy of building a comprehensive injectable platform. ProFuelo defines the skin quality category globally, and is widely recognized as a market leading brand for skin quality in Europe. With no directly comparable product currently available, in the United States. Similar to Jeuveau, We will own the US regulatory filings and lead the clinical development and commercialization strategy for ProFuelo. Creating long term value around the asset which has the potential to generate more than $100 million in peak annual revenue. More broadly, our partnerships with companies such as IPSY, Symatese, and Daewoong. Demonstrate that leading global innovators increasingly view Evolus as a partner of choice to develop and commercialize quality aesthetic products. Our proven execution deep customer relationships, and expanding global platform position us to continue attracting high quality assets from world class partners as we build the next generation of injectable aesthetics. Our international business is also becoming an increasingly important contributor to our long term strategy. During the quarter, we successfully launched the Estyme collection of injectable hyaluronic acid gels in Europe. Where early customer response has been very encouraging. We also announced the expansion of our relationship with Symatese to include Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Strategically, this is an important milestone. As we now hold exclusive rights to commercialize our injectable hyaluronic acid gel portfolio in every market where we maintain rights for Nuceiva. While expanding our global addressable market by approximately $200 million annually. The combination of a broader portfolio and expanded geographical footprint make our international business an increasingly meaningful contributor to our long term growth and revenue outlook. While we continue to invest in our long term growth strategy, we remain disciplined in our financial execution. Our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA demonstrates that we can deliver profitable growth while funding the strategic initiatives that will drive the next phase of our evolution. Through the first 6 months of the year, we delivered 14% revenue growth ahead of the pace implied in our original guidance. Giving us the confidence to raise our full year 2026 financial outlook. Our results this quarter reflect the strength of our expanding portfolio the effectiveness of our commercial strategy and the operating discipline of our team. In executing against our long term objectives. With that, I would like to now turn the call over to Rui Avelar.
Rui Avelar C.CFP Dip.SportMed: Thank you, David. Evidence is committed to building a best in class aesthetic portfolio. We started with Jeuveau, a neurotoxin manufactured under the HI-PURE manufacturing process supported by Phase 3 data against the industry standard that was subsequently validated by an independent study demonstrating that Jeuveau had a fast onset the highest peak effect the longest duration among the toxins tested. Then we brought in Evolysse, a hyaluronic acid injectable manufactured with a novel Cold-X cross linking technology The pivotal registration studies demonstrated both non inferiority and statistical superiority against an established comparator. The first 2 products, I believe Form and Smooth have launched. Sculpt, our premium mid face injectable, has an anticipated approval in the fourth quarter and is expected to commercially launch in 2027. Evolysse's lips is on track to be submitted to the FDA by the end of this year with an anticipated launch in 2028. Recently, we further expanded our portfolio. And are very excited about the partnership with IPSY, the developer of ProFuelo. IPSY is a private Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company founded in 1.95 thousand and operates across 10 therapeutic areas in over 90 countries worldwide. ProFuelo is made of a unique blend of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. And instead of the traditional cross linking, it undergoes a patented thermal production process to create a hybrid matrix designed to address skin quality. With age, the components of skin break down, and become less dynamic. ProFuelo helps rebuild the quality of the skin. It stimulates extracellular remodeling, It proves the elasticity of the skin and its supporting function by stimulating fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Evolus will lead The U. S. Clinical and regulatory approval process and then own the PMA. At this time, we anticipate approval around 2030 and we will provide updates as the program progresses. With the addition of ProFuelo, we continue to expand our portfolio and expect to introduce 3 new products over the next 4 years. Lastly, as David mentioned, we have further expanded our geographical reach with Esteem. And now also have Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Incorporating the registration timelines, we expect to launch in these regions in 2028. With that, I will turn the call over to Tatjana.
Tatjana Mitchell: Thank you, Rui Avelar. The second quarter represented another strong step forward in the execution of our financial strategy. As I approach 1 year as CFO, I am proud of the foundation we have set and our proven ability to deliver double digit revenue growth across the portfolio, while driving significant operating leverage and profitability. In the second quarter, we revenue growth above 20% delivered our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, and strengthened our confidence in outlook for the remainder of the year. We achieved these results while continuing to invest in customer experience and education consumer rewards and the launch of the Estyme portfolio. in Europe. Beginning with revenue, Our global net revenue for the second quarter was $84.1 million representing an increase of 21% compared to the prior year. This performance reflects continued strength across our diversified portfolio. With global toxin revenue of $75.2 million and injectable hyaluronic acid gel revenue of $8.9 million As expected, the recent launch of Estyme In Europe contributed modestly during the second quarter. From a geographic standpoint, we continue to see balanced performance across both our U.S. and international business. Jeuveau and Nuceiva delivered another quarter of healthy growth. Supported by improving procedure volumes, and continued market share gains. While Evolysse continued to build momentum through increasing customer adoption and reorder behavior. Turning to gross margin. Reported gross margin for the second quarter was 68%. While adjusted gross margin which excludes the amortization of intangibles, was 69%. Gross margin benefited by approximately 120 basis points from a tariff refund recognized during the quarter Adjusting for the tariff refund, our first half gross margin remained flat year over year. Reflecting a modest improvement in U.S. gross margin that was offset by a higher mix of our international business. Moving to operating expenses. GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter were $61.7 million compared to $55.7 million in the first quarter Non GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter were $53.3 million compared to $49.1 million in the first quarter As expected, operating expenses increased sequentially from the first quarter as we continue to invest in customer education, marketing programs, and international portfolio expansion. These investments remain very disciplined allowing us to efficiently scale the business while maintaining our core profitability objectives. As a reminder, non GAAP operating expenses exclude stock based compensation, revaluation of the contingent royalty obligation, and depreciation and amortization. Within operating expenses, SG&A expenses for the second quarter were $57.1 million compared to $52 million in the first quarter. This included $5.2 million of non cash stock based compensation. Similar to the prior quarter. In the second quarter, our adjusted EBITDA improved by $12.6 million compared to the prior year period. Resulting in positive adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million and marking our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. As we have discussed, our commercial infrastructure was intentionally built to support a broader portfolio. As additional products contribute to revenue, we expect that scalability to become increasingly evident through improving profitability. Turning to the balance sheet. We ended the quarter with $45.2 million in cash equivalents. Compared to $49.8 million at the end of the first quarter. Cash used during the quarter primarily reflected interest expense and planned capital expenditure investments. We believe that our cash position profitability trajectory and the capacity under our revolving credit facility provides ample financial flexibility to support our commercial priorities invest in portfolio expansion, and execute on our long term growth strategy. We continue to have access to $100 million of additional liquidity under our Pharmacon debt facility. Which is intended for potential transformative business investment. As we have said previously, we remain funded to profitability and do not anticipate the need for additional equity financing. Another important point regarding the balance sheet. While our position on the announced tariffs remains unchanged, as a prudent measure, we expect to bring approximately 1 year's worth of Hugel inventory into the U.S. We will effectively be relocating Hugel's safety stock from South Korea to the U.S. This will be reflected as an increase in inventory and an increase in accounts payable on our balance sheet. But will not impact our cash use given the negotiated payment terms. Turning now to guidance. Our first half performance provides us with increased confidence in the outlook of the business. As a result, we are updating our full year 2026 financial outlook. Through the first 6 months of 2026, we delivered 14% year over year growth in revenue. Exceeding the pace implied by our original full year outlook. We are raising the lower end of our revenue guidance to $330 million while maintaining the upper end of $337 million effectively raising the midpoint of our guidance range to $333.5 million We are also raising our full year adjusted gross profit margin guidance. To between 67.0% to 67.5%. This reflects our first half performance and confidence in the margin trajectory of the business. We are narrowing our non GAAP operating expense guidance range to between $212 million to $216 million This reflects our continued disciplined approach to expense management. While incorporating incremental strategic investments. Including upfront payments for the recently announced expansion of our Estyme partnership into Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Our previously announced partnership with IPSA reflects the same disciplined capital efficient approach to business development. With no upfront or milestone payments, As a result, we are reaffirming our low to mid single digit adjusted EBITDA margin outlook for the full year 2026. Finally, I would like to emphasize that our long term financial framework remains unchanged. We continue to believe Evolus is well positioned to achieve $450 million to $500 million in annual revenue and 13% to 15% adjusted EBITDA margin in 2028. The progress we have demonstrated over the past 3 quarters reinforces our confidence that we are on track to achieve these long term objectives. With that, I will turn it back to David for closing remarks.
David Moatazedi: Thank you, Tatjana. As you heard today, Evolus is on track to deliver our seventh consecutive year of above market performance with double digit top line growth. And we have continued to gain market share for both Jeuveau and Evolysse. I am particularly pleased with the debut and early success of our portfolio growth bundle. Which resulted in customers committing more of their injectable business to Evolus and driving the highest overall growth across our customer base. Over the past 18 months, we have transformed Evolus into a diversified injectable aesthetics company with 3 distinct growth verticals. We began by establishing Jeuveau, 1 of the fastest growing neurotoxin brands in the market. Continued that momentum with the launch of Evolysse, the first new injectable hyaluronic acid gel in more than a decade. And most recently entered the skin quality space with ProFuelo. At the same time, we have built a commercial platform that is increasingly scalable, increasingly diversified and increasingly attractive to both customers and strategic partners. Before I close, I want to thank our employees for their relentless focus on execution. I also want to thank our customers for their continued trust in Evolus. And our strategic partners for their collaboration. And lastly, shareholders for their ongoing confidence in Evolus. Our progress this quarter reflects what we can accomplish when we work together with the shared commitment to innovation. Operational excellence and delivering long term value. Operator, we may now begin the Q&A.
Operator: Thank you. Our first question is from Annabel Samimy Stifel. Please proceed.
Annabel Samimy: Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question. Congratulations on a good quarter. I am really interested in your new licensing of ProFuelo for skin quality. As usual, U. S. Is catching up with international markets. I want to understand this product a little better. What is it going to require clinically to get on the market here? Do you still expect to maintain profitability with the additional R&D here? And second, would you view this maybe, I guess, a little bit more like a filler light to perhaps expand a category or be a sort of gateway into fillers? Or is this a completely different market, different price point, different commitment altogether?
David Moatazedi: Great. Annabel, thanks for the questions. I will have Rui comment on the clinical development and then Tatjana to comment on the expense associated with ProFuelo. I will open with this Last weekend, we had an advisory board meeting with a number of key customers from both The U. S and international markets. Interestingly, the US doctors were all very well aware of Profiler. They have heard of this brand because it is it is well known as the gold standard for skin quality. And the international doctors made a simple comment. They use toxins to relax muscle. You use our injectable hyaluronic acid gels, Evolysse, to replace lost volume in the tissue. And products like ProFuelo are used as more like a moisturizer on the skin's surface, So it is not adding volume. it is changing the overall texture of the skin. So I will let Rui talk a little bit more about clinical development and what we will be going through.
Rui Avelar C.CFP Dip.SportMed: Sure. And maybe I will touch on kind of what you also touched on. It is a different product. When we think about the mechanism of action is that they take up space. that is why they are regulated as a device. This is a different way of actually creating a gel. As I mentioned, it does not undergo the traditional cross linking. It has like a special thermal process and you end up with these light hydrogen bonds. And what it does is it actually hydrates the skin. Internally. So what you do is you actually put it in And if you look at kind of the DFU from Europe, you can actually see where the injection points are correlate where the skin quality is deteriorating. The skin turgor is low, that there is kind of more redundancy and looseness and even the skin tone is low. Those are all components of skin quality and this is what this works on. So mechanistically works effectively by hydrating the skin from within. In terms of the process and how we get it through, this will be a full PMA. it is considered a class 3 device. And it will go through a full PMA process, which is where we kind of tie in those timelines. So we are talking about 2030 right now. I think I have captured most of your components, Annabel.
David Moatazedi: Great.
Rui Avelar C.CFP Dip.SportMed: And maybe I will add--
Operator: Go ahead.
Tatjana Mitchell: I will just add on the question around does this impact profitability? And the short answer is no. Rui and his team have a great track record and will be supporting the clinical development and regular approval of this product And this is already contemplated in our guidance for adjusted EBITDA for 2020 of 13% to 15%. Got it.
Annabel Samimy: And if I can just ask a follow-up. Can you talk about when you--I heard in your comments how you are feeling about the state of the filler market? It does look like we have got a bit of tale of 2 cities here with, I guess, 1 player seeing declines and other players seeing stabilization. What are you seeing as far as interest level and I guess being a new player on the market, do you feel like you are reframing the conversation around fillers right now? And any impact that you are seeing yet from GLP-1s? I know that Galderma is starting to talk about it. So how are you seeing that play out in the market?
David Moatazedi: Yes. This is David. Overall, we are hearing improving conditions from clinicians all around in the market specifically. In our case, as you saw the step up in Q2, part of that was driven by our ability to talk about these weight loss patients and we have incorporated that into our co branded media and we saw a lot of interest from accounts that want to capitalize on what they are seeing, which is the increasing number of GLP-1 patients coming into their clinics and the ability to advertise to that segment with Evolysse and the mention of weight loss that we currently have in our patient label. We have been able to capitalize on it. We do believe it is the very early innings of both the market recovery and that GLP patient entering clinics. But that is exactly where these practices are focused. And that is something we will continue to take advantage of as we get into the back half of the year. As that is a unique differentiation in the Evolysse line from a consumer standpoint. Great. Thank you.
Operator: Our next question is from Marc Goodman with Leerink Partners. Please proceed.
Marc Goodman: Yes. Just 1 additional question on this ProFuelo. Is it safe to use that product at the same time as a filler and at the same time as Jeuveau? I am just wondering if you need studies to kind of show that it is safe, or is it just gonna be well understood by the doctors? And then second question is just on the performance of the toxin market just throughout the quarter. Was it improving throughout the quarter and like July is a continuation of that improvement? Was it kind of steady throughout? I am just trying to get a sense of like what has been going on this year I think you said at the first quarter, you thought that the market grew low to mid and now you are saying the second quarter was mid. So it does feel like it is getting better as time goes on. Just wondering if you are seeing that improvement into July as well. Thanks.
Rui Avelar C.CFP Dip.SportMed: Hi, Marc. I will start with your question. Yes. When you look at where this is used, they are used simultaneously with the other products. So this product is put into, if you will, more superficially in the skin, we think about how it works. If you look at a toxin, that usually goes into a muscle, so it is a different layer. And generally when you are using an injectable, and you are trying to take up space for a wrinkle or fold, that is usually Put In A Different plane. So we see Them Used Quite Similarly. And Then if we think about, you know, part Of The Reason Why there is A Lot Of Excitement Here On The U. S. As we had our advisory board is they really like the concept of the cadence of this product. It brings patients in with another excuse to get a treatment and then it helps them with kind of managing the other treatments such as injectables and toxins. So it is a very synergistic treatment for all the stuff that we currently offer.
David Moatazedi: that is right. As a matter of fact, when we had conversations with team at ProFuelo, they did not view hyaluronic acid injectable products as competitors. They very much viewed them as complementary. In the European market and had a lot of success with that. And then to your second question, Marc. We saw sequential improvement in the market You see that reflected in both toxin procedures, and HAs turning to positive growth. Underneath that, we are also seeing that segments of the consumer are also strengthening, and that younger demographic, which is, you know, well into her forties now, the millennial, the Gen Z, they both show that they are spend on beauty and health care is only rising, and we do believe that contributes. And we expect that to carry forward into the back half of the year. So we have no reason to believe that the momentum does not continue, and that is reflected in the guidance that we have provided. Thanks.
Operator: Our next question is from Navann Ty BNP Paribas Asset Management. Please proceed.
Navann Ty: Hi. Question on your market commentary, which sounded more positive than the market leaders. So can you clarify whether the comments are U. S. Or global for toxins and fillers And if possible, can you let us know your current U. S. And global market shares in toxins and fillers? And what drove the significant share gains? Thank you.
David Moatazedi: Sure. As far as the 2 markets, we have seen Europe over the past several years, we did not see a slowdown. And coming into this year, we continue to see a healthy market environment. Now HAs, of course, in both U. S. And Europe, did see a dip. And in both markets, we are seeing an improvement. it is hard for us to gauge whether Europe is in positive growth. Or in some stage of improvement, but it is consistently the same messaging that we hear back from clinicians that they see the market strengthening off of several years of the market being depressed. So we feel good that these markets are moving let's call it roughly in parallel with 1 another. And then as it relates to shares, we entered the year with roughly mid teens market share. We expect to continue in that mid teens range. it is hard to pin a share on an exact quarter, but clearly, our share is strengthening. We see that in the numbers reflected. Year to date, our business growing at healthy double digit clip in The U. S. And the same is the case on the filler side. Now in Europe, on the toxin side, we have just reestablished a position in a couple of major markets in Europe. So it is too early for us to be giving a view on share Although we do say that in the UK, which is our most established market, this year, we are getting really close to that double digit market share, which is an important metric for us that we continue to track because they were the lead market to enter inside of Europe and the UK. So that is that continues to be a strong market lead for us. And we are seeing the markets that followed after the U.K. continuing to strengthen in terms of their revenue, and that is why international business has been such an important growth driver for us. Thank you.
Operator: Our next question is from Douglas Tsao with H. C. Wainwright. Please proceed.
Douglas Tsao: Hi, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions. Just maybe trying to understand what we are seeing or maybe if you could help us understand how you think the Evolysse line sort of growth go? We have obviously seen some nice sequential growth on percent basis. it is still off a relatively smaller base Just given some of the macro dynamics, I know you sort of guided to 10% to 12% of the total revenues for this year. Do you see 2027 as being a more important year just with the additions of new products to the portfolio? Thank you.
David Moatazedi: Yes. Well, Douglas, I think the way we look at that Evolysse line is it is a very important part of building out a portfolio strategy that we have competed as a single product up until the second quarter of last year for 6 consecutive years. And established a meaningful presence in the aesthetic space on that single product. Evolysse is clearly opening the door for us to go into clinics and have a deeper partnership with them. As a matter of fact, when we look at accounts that purchase both Jeuveau and Evolysse together, they are purchasing 2.5x greater volume year to date than accounts that are only purchasing 1 product. So clearly, Evolysse is an important next stage in us telling the portfolio story. that is not it. The announcement of ProFuelo has added another dimension to the conversations we are having with clinicians, because that signals even further investment into the category and developing new innovation And then between now and profile, as you know, we have the upcoming approval of Sculpt which we do believe is a flagship product in that line. It puts us in a place where we can compete against the broader portfolios of the larger established players. In addition to that, the following year, we expect to improve the Lips product. So when I look at our pipeline over the next 4 years, we are going to introduce 3 more new products. So I am really excited about what we are gonna be able to bring customers over the coming years. But more importantly, we have gotta execute in the near term. And I think the operating leverage we have been able to demonstrate without compromising growth is the reason why we have been able to grow double digits in both The U. S and international.
Douglas Tsao: And David, just as a follow-up on the ProFuelo. Sort of bringing that into the portfolio. You had spoken for some time about being interested in biostimulators. And I guess ProFuelo is kind of a biostimulator, So do you see that as sort of dealing that sort of interest that you had, or do you think that you might still be looking at the biostimulator space as something that might be interesting from a product standpoint? Or are there other products that you could see that could be complementary to, ProFuelo?
Rui Avelar C.CFP Dip.SportMed: I will jump in on that 1, Douglas. What we have been talking about in particular on the R&D front and business development front 3 big categories. 1 was skin quality and we put that in its own category. that is ProFuelo. The other 1 that we have talked about that we have high interest in is hair, which of course is a separate category. And then the third 1, and we put it in its own category as we think about mechanistically, is biostimulators. So we have really highlighted 3 of them. 1, we just check that box. And then the other 2, we continue to work on. Okay. Great. Thank you so much.
Operator: Our next question is from Sam Eiber with U. S. Bancorp BTIG. Please proceed.
Sam Eiber: Hi, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions here. Just to start out, it is a little bit of a higher level question, but you are ramping on Evolysse in The U. S. Expanding OUS with the new Symatese agreement. You signed this ProFuelo agreement. Maybe just talk about your ability to execute against all of these initiatives and your own bandwidth particularly when it comes to still achieving your profitability targets?
David Moatazedi: Yes. So maybe I will I will divide that up and let both Tasha and Rui comment on it. So I think when you talk about our ability to execute, I think about it on 3 levels. 1 is our ability to commercially execute. And then the second part is, can we get these drugs through the development program? And then lastly, how do we fund them all collectively as you think about our long term outlook? I will just start with commercial execution before Rui gets in the pipeline. Look, we have got a great commercial team. You have seen the performance on Evolysse in its first year. And what is been a challenged market and we have been the fastest share gainer in that space with that product. And we still have several more to go. But the cadence of these approvals that we expect put us in a really strong position. it is I mentioned earlier, as you think about the next 4 years, you are talking about 3 product launches over that time window. That are all facial injectable products that drop into the same bag that are injected by the same clinician. So our view, it only strengthens our message in front of the customer to continue to have that cadence of new products to build around our portfolio strategy. Now, let Rui talk about the development process.
Rui Avelar C.CFP Dip.SportMed: Yeah. And, you know, your question was really aimed at how do we manage the development pathways and etcetera. And I think David's comments are kind of fitting also for R&D. there is a cadence. You know, if we look at Sculpt, hopefully, that is towards the end of its process. LIPS is in a different part of the development, Profile is in a different part of the development. And then if we can execute on some of the other deals, like we were saying here, for instance, they are all in different parts of development. And if we look at our internal capabilities, we have a really skilled group that focuses on late stage development that is a lot of our expertise. So all of this really fits in our wheelhouse. So we think looking at the cadence of the things that we are targeting, we are able to maintain kind of our expenses, at least on the R&D side, kind of just as we have suggested and shared with you previously.
Tatjana Mitchell: Yeah. And maybe I will chime in to the last part of your question, Sam. So, We had talked about 2025 really being an investment year. And in 2025, we really set up our commercial infrastructure. Both in The United States and internationally, to sell the portfolio. And that is really important. We have great talent in that in that commercial organization. Rui just talked about his team. Similar comment. Right? We have great talent and a great track record there. In terms of taking these assets through their development journey. And in terms of our capital efficiency, you just heard us talking about expansion geographically with Symatese. We talked about the IPSA deal. Very capital efficient. So across the board, whether it is balance sheet or we are looking at our OpEx, right, we feel very confident in being able to deliver on this pipeline here and more.
Sam Eiber: Okay. Really helpful there. Maybe if I could just squeeze in a follow-up here. On the second half outlook and how we should be thinking about cadence, any seasonality in terms of modeling considerations for the toxin business? Thank you.
Tatjana Mitchell: Yes. So we have modeled our outlook really looking at the sequential step ups and step downs that you would see seasonally in the industry. So we grew 14% in the first half We are giving this guidance, right, where we sort of up the midpoint of the revenue a bit And what you see there is just really our confidence in the second half following through the same approach. If you look at the year over year growth rates, I would just remind you last year in H H1 in the first half, grew high single digits. And then in the second half, we stabilized. We were at 14% growth, right? So just those comps, I would consider when you think about our second half guide.
Operator: Our next question is from Serge Belanger with Needham and Company. Please proceed.
Serge Belanger: Hi, this is John on for Serge. Today. Congrats on the quarter and thanks for taking our questions. So first, I wanted to kind of follow-up on the last question and look to the 2nd half of the year. You guys are coming off a solid first half. And updating your full year guidance. So for the second half, it kind of implies over 10% growth there. So curious about any specific initiatives you guys have planned for the seasonally important second half whether that is through Evolus Rewards or digital marketing, GLP 1 related messaging, and so on, and how we should kind of think about the impact of these programs on revenue growth this year? And then Tatjana, you touched on the topic of tariffs in your prepared remarks. You would just clarify whether toxins still remain exempt at this time? And similarly with the Evolysse, I believe they had been subject to 10% tariffs previously. So curious if anything has changed there and what your outlook is? Thanks.
David Moatazedi: Great. I will just touch on our back half views at a high level. First is the back half is as important as the front half is. As you can imagine, given the scale of the organization, we have heavy investment in marketing, education and promotional activities every quarter. As a matter of fact, this year, we will train over 14 thousand clinicians hands-on. And that continues each and every quarter. And education is a critical part of driving that confidence gap. Our consumer loyalty team has done a really effective job of not just maintaining patients coming back, but recruiting new patients into the category, and our co branded media is a great complement. To helping advertise and recruit some of those patients, where our clinics will advertise both our Evolus Rewards program, as well as the brands in a lot of their co branded media. So I would say the mix of all of our investment is complementary in order to continue to drive fast growth with the accounts that partner with us. And as you said with Evolise, that GLP-1 target is a key strategic area of focus for us. it is 1 that worked very well in the second quarter, and it is 1 that we are going to focus on in the back half of the year as well. And then lastly, fourth quarter is the heavy promotional season of the year for our category. So we collaborate with beauty brands. We have done it multiple times in the past, and we will do that again in the back half of the year. that is something our accounts really look forward to, and they can offer a consumer gift with purchase. And we also do something unique each year around Eleventh Day that we supported now for 7 consecutive years. So I know our customers get excited about that, wanna learn more about it, and we will introduce those as well. But it is part of our overall cadence. there is nothing unique in there. That would present any unique dynamics from a financial standpoint. it is just part of our operating model.
Tatjana Mitchell: Great. And on the tariffs, our position there remains the same. I think you mentioned for Evolysse, that has been subject to a 10% tariff and continues to be And Jeuveau at this time is still exempt. There is a pronouncement regarding patented pharmaceutical tariffs and as we wait clarity on that, we are prudently bringing in some inventory into The U. S. And we have a, you know, mechanism with our partner there so that it is not going to impact our cash use.
Operator: There are no further calls at this time. We have reached the end of our call. You may now disconnect your lines and thank you for your participation.
