NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harrow (Nasdaq: HROW), a leading provider of ophthalmic disease management solutions in North America, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The Company also posted its first-quarter Letter to Stockholders and corporate presentation to the “Investors” section of its website at harrow.com. The Company encourages Harrow stockholders to review these documents, which provide additional details concerning the historical results and future expectations for the business.
“The demand for Harrow’s key products has never been stronger, and our visibility into our demand trajectory – across our portfolio – keeps us entirely on track to reach our forecasted financial goals for the year,” said Mark L. Baum, Chief Executive Officer of Harrow. “Although our first-quarter reported revenue reflects an estimated $8 million gross-to-net reduction associated with our new commercial coverage for VEVYE, this adjustment does not reflect the profitable, recurring, and significant patient base established during the quarter. Harrow is now positioned to realize the full financial benefits of this coverage relationship beginning in Q2 2026.”
Baum continued, “Prior to the quarter, we established business rules with specific assumptions regarding these new VEVYE commercial patients. As the period unfolded, the surge in demand among patients with high-deductible plans significantly outpaced our initial models. This created temporary gross-to-net pressure, which was resolved through business rules adjustments. With these rules now in place, we are now positioned to realize the expected financial benefit of our expanded commercial access, and we are already seeing highly encouraging net pricing indicators early in the second quarter.”
“Our core commercial engine is accelerating. VEVYE delivered record prescription performance and has officially surpassed XIIDRA on a monthly total prescription basis. Across our key growth drivers - VEVYE, IHEEZO, and TRIESENCE - we are seeing robust prescriber adoption, expanding market share, and durable momentum. With our expanded commercial organization now fully deployed, we remain highly confident in our ability to deliver on our 2026 revenue guidance of $350 million to $365 million.”
Key First Quarter Demand Indicators:
VEVYE:
- Prescription growth of approximately 170% sequentially within our new national pharmacy benefit manager’s Tier 1 accounts
- Record quarterly prescription performance, with NRx up 25% and TRx up 11% quarter-over-quarter, despite a decline in the overall branded dry eye market
- Surpassed XIIDRA on a monthly TRx basis, achieving approximately 14% market share as of the end of March 2026
IHEEZO:
- Unit demand increased 18% year-over-year, with March 2026 up 34% versus the prior-year period
- Retina accounts represented approximately 82% of total volume, reflecting continued strength in the core market
- Ordering accounts continued to expand, driven by growing adoption across both retina and in-office procedural settings
TRIESENCE:
- Unit demand more than doubled year-over-year, increasing 136% versus the prior-year period
- Sixth consecutive quarter of growth, supported by continued expansion of the customer base, including 195 new accounts in the quarter, representing approximately 28% of total ordering accounts

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, an unaudited financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the Company’s financial results and performance and to plan and forecast future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a “non-GAAP” financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting its business. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance because (i) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making; (ii) it excludes 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) it is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company’s results. However, Adjusted EBITDA, 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 income (loss), excluding the effects of stock-based compensation and expenses, impairment of intangible assets, 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 income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit or net income (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 income (loss), for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the same period in 2025:
