Harrow Announces First-Quarter 2025 Financial Results

 

First-Quarter 2025 and Recent Selected Highlights:

 

  Revenues of $47.8 million, a 38% increase over $34.6 million recorded in prior-year period
  VEVYE revenues increased to $21.5 million, a 35% increase from $16.0 million in the fourth quarter 2024
  Cash flow from operations reached a record high of $19.7 million
  GAAP net loss of $(17.8) million
  Adjusted EBITDA of $(2.0) million
  Cash and cash equivalents of $66.7 million as of March 31, 2025
VEVYE® Access for All launch in mid-March is accelerating market share capture and revenue growth

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 8, 2025 – Harrow (Nasdaq: HROW), a leading North American eyecare pharmaceutical company, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company also posted its first quarter Letter to Stockholders and corporate presentation to the “Investors” section of its website, harrow.com. The Company encourages all Harrow stockholders to review these documents, which provide additional details concerning the historical quarterly period and future expectations for the business.

 

“During the first quarter, the Harrow team advanced key commercial initiatives to drive 2025 demand for VEVYE®, IHEEZO®, and TRIESENCE®, including the mid-March launch of the VEVYE® Access for All (VAFA) program,” said Mark L. Baum, Chief Executive Officer of Harrow. “Despite typical first quarter seasonality and initiatives like VAFA, which launched late in the first quarter, we grew revenues by 38% year-over-year. We saw a 35% quarter-over-quarter increase in VEVYE revenues from $16.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 to $21.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Notably, beginning early in the second quarter, we’ve seen a meaningful acceleration in unit demand across our portfolio as year-end stocking inventories were largely depleted, and various commercial initiatives gained traction, providing momentum we expect to continue to build throughout 2025.

 

“Early VAFA program data has been very promising, with new VEVYE prescription volumes at PhilRx more than quadrupling and prescribers increasing by over 4X, all while maintaining a strong average selling price. Our VEVYE refill rate continues to be buoyant, with the average covered patient receiving nine refills. Given these trends, we believe VEVYE is now poised to become Harrow’s first product to generate annual nine-figure revenue. With the current order flow and potential unit demand expected from soon-to-close pipeline accounts for IHEEZO, TRIESENCE, and other operational improvements across the rest of our business, we remain confident that we will achieve – and hopefully exceed – our 2025 revenue target of over $280 million. We also remain committed to pursuing strategic acquisitions that add high-quality ophthalmic pharmaceutical assets to our best-in-class U.S. commercial platform.”

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 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 months ended March 31, 2025 and for the same period in 2024:

Core Results

 

Harrow Core Results, including core gross margin, core net loss, and core basic and diluted loss per share 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 certain 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.

 

The following is a reconciliation of Core Results, non-GAAP measures, to the most comparable GAAP measures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
