Harrow (Nasdaq: HROW), a leading U.S. eyecare pharmaceutical company, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company also posted its first quarter Letter to Stockholders and corporate presentation to the “Investors” section of its website, harrow.com.
“We are excited to kick off 2023 with a strong first quarter that demonstrates the continuing successful execution of our strategic plan aimed at elevating Harrow into a leading position among top-tier U.S. eyecare pharmaceutical companies,” said Mark L. Baum, CEO of Harrow. “We are pleased that our Harrow team delivered record revenues of $26.1 million, a 28% increase over the fourth quarter of 2022, but, even more important, we see the first quarter of 2023 marking the beginning of a new revenue paradigm for Harrow. Going forward, we expect revenue growth from our branded pharmaceutical products to meaningfully outpace growth from our compounded pharmaceutical products, with revenue from branded products ultimately driving the lion’s share of our future profitability and topline growth. Based on our results to date, we are reaffirming our 2023 guidance of $135 million to $143 million in net revenues and $44 million to $50 million in adjusted EBITDA.
“We believe our successful first quarter is indicative of 2023 being a catalyst-rich year for Harrow, including our recent launch of IHEEZO™ at ASCRS in San Diego. We are very excited about the growth that we are seeing from our innovative new products and formulations that are being added to our product portfolio. For details on Harrow’s growth trajectory and strategic plan, I encourage you to read our quarterly Letter to Stockholders, all of which can be found on our website at harrow.com.”

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 income (loss), excluding the effects of stock-based compensation and expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, investment income (loss), net, loss on extinguishment of debt, 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 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, 2023 and 2022:

| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 5,342,000 | $ | 4,940,000 | |||
| (1) | Includes $5,465,000 for the loss on extinguishment of debt. |
CoreResults
Harrow Core Results, including core gross margin, core net income (loss), core operating income (loss), core basic and diluted income (loss) per share, and core operating margin, exclude all amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets, excluding software development costs, 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”), preferred stock dividends, and 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.
