Commenting on Harrow’s third quarter results, Mark L. Baum, CEO of Harrow, said, “During the third quarter, we produced record revenues, a 50% increase over prior‑year revenues. However, operationally, the third quarter was a mixed bag, with some areas performing exceptionally well, like our launch of IHEEZO, and some areas underperforming, such as our Fab Five products and our compounding business.
“The 50% year-over-year increase in revenues was primarily a result of increases in branded pharmaceutical products (BPPS), buoyed by performance from IHEEZO® that exceeded our internal expectations. Strategic amendments to the IHEEZO launch led to a substantial ramp in unit demand in September, a trend that continued into the fourth quarter. We are hearing from eyecare professionals that they are very happy with IHEEZO’s clinical benefits, and we are seeing sizable orders and re-orders from high-volume users as well as many new accounts. While it’s still early in the launch and we have a lot of additional work to do, we are bullish about what we see for IHEEZO in 2024 and beyond.
“During the third quarter, we strategically focused our commercial team’s efforts on IHEEZO, delaying implementation of marketing and sales detailing efforts for four of the “Fab Five” products we had acquired earlier in the year and for which the New Drug Applications (NDAs) had recently transferred. We have now implemented those strategies and initial prescription data is encouraging. We estimate that we are approximately three months behind our revenue forecasts for these products.
“Our compounding business underperformed during the period as we made investments in compliance and operations. We are confident that the solutions already implemented or planned for our compounding business will prove effective and restore the business to its historical growth trajectory during the first quarter of 2024.
“Because we are a few months behind our internal targets – for the aggregate business – we are adjusting our previously issued 2023 financial guidance to revenues of $129 million to $136 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $36 million to $41 million. In addition, we are outlining our expectations for 2024, which include revenues of more than $180 million, excluding contributions from TRIESENCE. In summary, 2023, to date, has been a transformational year – and we believe that, because of the strategic actions that we have taken in 2023, we are positioned well for another record-breaking year in 2024.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which are presented and discussed above, management also utilizes Adjusted EBITDA and Core Results, unaudited financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the Company’s financial results and performance and to plan and forecast future periods. Adjusted EBITDA and Core Results are considered “non‑GAAP” financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting its business. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Core Results provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance because (i) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making; (ii) they exclude the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the Company’s core operating performance; and (iii) they are used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company’s results. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Core Results, and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non‑GAAP financial measures used by the Company and the way they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non‑GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the Company’s competitors.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, excluding the effects of stock‑based compensation and expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, investment (income) loss, net, and, if any and when specified, other non-recurring income or expense items. Management believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net loss. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit or net loss as a measure of operating performance or to net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, or financing activities as a measure of ability to meet cash needs.
The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and for the same periods in 2022:

Core Results
Harrow Core Results, including core gross margin, core net (loss) income, core operating income, core basic and diluted loss per share, and core operating margin, exclude (1) all amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets, excluding software development costs, (2) net gains and losses on investments and equity securities, including equity method gains and losses and equity valued at fair value through profit and loss (“FVPL”), and preferred stock dividends, and (3) gains/losses on forgiveness of debt. In other periods, Core Results may also exclude fair value adjustments of financial assets in the form of options to acquire a company carried at FVPL, obligations related to product recalls, certain acquisition‑related items, restructuring charges/releases and associated items, related legal items, gains/losses on early extinguishment of debt or debt modifications, impairments of property, plant and equipment and software, as well as income and expense items that management deems exceptional and that are or are expected to accumulate within the year to be over a $100,000 threshold.
