Key takeaways

  • Revenue rose 11% year over year: Total revenue was $70.7 million, up 11% from $63.7 million a year earlier and up 60% from the first quarter. The first quarter had an estimated $8 million gross-to-net reduction tied to new VEVYE coverage. Source
  • Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss: GAAP net loss was $17.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, against net income of $5.0 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.2 million, against $17.0 million a year earlier. Source
  • VEVYE revenue rose about 40% sequentially: VEVYE revenue was $29.4 million, 42% of total revenue, up from $18.6 million in the prior-year second quarter. Source
  • IHEEZO units reached highest quarter: IHEEZO revenue was $15.6 million, against $18.3 million a year earlier; management linked the gap to the inventory drawdown and lost pass-through reimbursement, not underlying demand. Source

  • G-MELT seen as largest driver: Management said G-MELT, if approved, has the potential to become the largest revenue driver, citing unmet need for anesthesia access in retina surgery. Source

Results and growth drivers

  • Revenue rose 11% year over year: Total revenue was $70.7 million, up 11% from $63.7 million a year earlier and up 60% from the first quarter. The first quarter had an estimated $8 million gross-to-net reduction tied to new VEVYE coverage. Source
  • Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss: GAAP net loss was $17.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, against net income of $5.0 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.2 million, against $17.0 million a year earlier. Source

Products and revenue mix

  • VEVYE revenue rose about 40% sequentially: VEVYE revenue was $29.4 million, 42% of total revenue, up from $18.6 million in the prior-year second quarter. Source
  • IHEEZO units reached highest quarter: IHEEZO revenue was $15.6 million, against $18.3 million a year earlier; management linked the gap to the inventory drawdown and lost pass-through reimbursement, not underlying demand. Source
  • TRIESENCE units up 162%: TRIESENCE units rose 39% sequentially. Total ordering accounts reached 805, and ocular surgery accounts made up 54% of second-quarter unit volume. Source
  • Retina franchise adds biosimilars: BYOOVIZ is the first of two ophthalmic biosimilars acquired from Samsung Bioepis. The company plans to launch OPUVIZ, an EYLEA-referenced biosimilar, in the United States in 2027. Source
  • VERKAZIA relaunched; IOPIDINE coding added: VERKAZIA was relaunched, with prescription volumes growing. IOPIDINE now has a permanent J-code, which management said removes a reimbursement barrier. Source

“I believe Harrow has reached an important inflection point. The heavy lifting required to position the business for accelerated growth has largely been completed.”

Mark L. Baum, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer

Commercial execution and prescribers

  • VEVYE prescriptions outpaced market: VEVYE total prescriptions rose about 21% sequentially against 14% growth in the branded dry eye market. New prescriptions rose about 4% and unique prescribers about 15%. Source
  • VEVYE branded share reached 14.6%: VEVYE branded TRx share was 14.6% at end of June, up from 14% at end of March and 7.8% a year earlier. Source
  • Surgical sales team tripled: The sales force was doubled and the dedicated surgical sales organization tripled. Most new representatives joined during the quarter, so management said full productivity has not yet been reached. Source
  • IHEEZO account base expanded: Total IHEEZO ordering accounts reached 224, up 32% year over year. The reorder rate was about 85.5% on a trailing twelve-month basis, per management. Source
  • Prescription data sources questioned: Management said Symphony and IQVIA alone are not a complete measure of VEVYE demand, as more prescriptions go through specialty pharmacies. The company cites its own internal dispensing data as well. Source

Pricing, gross margin and costs

  • IHEEZO net price up about 25%: IHEEZO net price improved about 25% as of July 1. Management also introduced a 5-unit package aimed at high-volume practices. Source
  • VEVYE price rose under new rules: Under business rules amended in late April, VEVYE average selling price improved sequentially, while new and total prescriptions kept growing. Source
  • Gross margin fell to 71%: Gross margin was 71% against 75% a year earlier. Management attributed the decline to fixed amortization of acquired NDAs, product mix, and lower ImprimisRx efficiency. Source
  • SG&A rose on commercial headcount: SG&A was $53.3 million against $33.2 million a year earlier, mainly from higher commercial headcount and related expenses. Source
  • R&D rose on G-MELT trials: R&D was $8.1 million against $2.9 million a year earlier, driven mainly by NDA-enabling trials for G-MELT, plus IHEEZO and TRIESENCE trials. Source

“Based on what we are seeing today, I expect our team to deliver on our 2026 commitments.”

Mark L. Baum, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer

Channel inventory and demand

  • IHEEZO channel inventory normalized: Management said channel inventories are normalized and reported revenue is expected to track underlying demand more closely from here. Source
  • Pass-through loss hit ASC volume: Loss of pass-through reimbursement on April 1 removed nearly all ASC volume. Management said growth came from in-office procedures and retina. Source
  • VEVYE commercial mix expected to rise: Management expects a growing share of VEVYE prescriptions to shift to the commercial channel over the rest of 2026 as patients meet deductibles. Source
  • Second-half drivers listed: Management listed IHEEZO pricing, normalized channel inventory, the expanded sales force, large TRIESENCE accounts, BYOOVIZ revenue build, and recovering compounded sales as second-half drivers. Source
  • ImprimisRx decline and recovery: ImprimisRx revenue declined on inventory shortfalls, exiting California, and moving compounded units to branded products. Management said the inventory rebuild was completed. Source

Pipeline and regulatory milestones

  • G-MELT pre-NDA meeting granted: FDA granted Harrow a pre-NDA meeting, which management said will help finalize the regulatory strategy toward an NDA submission. Source
  • IHEEZO early retina injection data: Interim ASRS data showed early trends toward less post-procedure pain, better patient experience, and fewer ocular symptoms through 24 hours, versus subconjunctival lidocaine. Source
  • TRIESENCE Phase 3 study underway: Phase 3 trial of TRIESENCE in ocular inflammation and pain after cataract surgery is under way. Management said it could expand the addressable market if successful. Source
  • NATACYN study enrolling first patients: First patients were enrolled in an investigator-initiated NATACYN study during the second quarter. Source
  • YOCHIL Phase 3 design being refined: The YOCHIL End-of-Phase 2 meeting with FDA was completed, and feedback is being used to refine the Phase 3 design and protocol. A bridging program to midazolam syrup is advancing. Source
  • Next-generation TRIESENCE timing: Management anticipates a next-generation TRIESENCE candidate launch in late 2028 or 2029, subject to regulatory approval, with greater pricing flexibility. Source

Capital, cash and balance sheet

  • Cash rose to $83.9 million: Cash and equivalents were $83.9 million, up from $72.9 million at December 31, 2025. Financing brought in $48.4 million in the first half, against $18.7 million used in operations. Source

  • G-MELT seen as largest driver: Management said G-MELT, if approved, has the potential to become the largest revenue driver, citing unmet need for anesthesia access in retina surgery. Source

Coming up, as management said on 10 August 2026

Risks management discussed

  • Operational: ImprimisRx supply was constrained by previously discussed inventory shortfalls affecting certain products. Source
  • External: Loss of pass-through reimbursement on April 1 removed nearly all ASC volume for IHEEZO. Source
  • External: VEVYE had little coverage under certain major commercial formularies and was blocked in many cases before the August 1 coverage win. Source
  • Operational: Most newly added sales representatives joined during the quarter, so their full productivity has not yet been realized. Source
  • Regulatory: The surgical sales team that would sell G-MELT depends on the product receiving marketing approval, which is pending. Source
  • Demand: Management said third-party prescription data may not capture VEVYE demand fully, since specialty pharmacies fulfill a growing share. Source
