  • Guidance now split by half-year: Management added first- and second-half revenue ranges to the full-year range, to show how quarterly results are expected to build. Source
  • Second half weighted, first half softer: Management expects a softer first half and a more pronounced second-half acceleration, from a fully deployed VEVYE salesforce, BYOOVIZ, TRIESENCE expansion and IHEEZO pricing. Source
  • G-MELT NDA preparation continues: Ancillary studies for the G-MELT NDA are underway, with completion expected later in 2026. The company is working to be positioned to file as soon as practicable. Source

“Last year was a defining year for Harrow, with revenue up 36% for the year and a record fourth quarter that reflected both accelerating demand and improving operating leverage, especially in terms of generating operating cash flow.”

Risks management discussed

  • Regulatory: IHEEZO ASC pass-through ends April 1, 2026, and the company expects revenue loss on IHEEZO units used in the ASC setting, which it aims to offset. Source
  • Demand: Management noted Q1 is seasonally harder, with insurance benefit resets and a higher mix of high-deductible plans early in the year. Source
  • Operational: A one-time compounded inventory shortage reduced 2025 compounded performance, with Q4 compounded revenue of $15.0 million affected. Source
  • Regulatory: Clinical development plan elements for YOCHIL are still being finalized with the FDA, which bears on the timing of its NDA. Source
  • Financial: Management said it may have been early on the timing of VEVYE net price stabilization, which had moved in prior quarters. Source

Earlier plans management reported on

  • Met: Management said it noted the compounded inventory shortage in Q3, and that the issue is now fully resolved. Source
  • On track: Management described its progress toward the end-2027 quarterly revenue goal as on track. Source
  • Not stated: The prior release gave a first-half 2027 NDA submission date for MELT-300. The current letter describes ancillary studies and filing as soon as practicable, with no filing date. Source
