Harrow Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2022 Letter to Stockholders

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--()--Harrow (NASDAQ: HROW), a leading U.S. eyecare pharmaceutical company, today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. The Company also posted its fourth quarter and year-end Letter to Stockholders and corporate presentation to the “Investors” section of its website, harrow.com.

2022 was truly a transformational year for Harrow,” said Mark L. Baum, CEO of Harrow. “Our IHEEZO™ journey has been remarkable – with its FDA approval in September 2022, and recently, in 2023, its issuance of a permanent J-Code (J2403) and Transitional Pass‑Through Reimbursement payment status. We believe that the J-Code and Pass-Through designations will enable a more efficient reimbursement process for ophthalmologists, optometrists, and retina specialists and create greater accessibility to the many clinical benefits that IHEEZO provides. We are confident that the infrastructure investments we made throughout 2022 to strengthen our people, platform, and performance will greatly contribute to a successful launch of IHEEZO in May 2023.

We also were successful in 2022 in significantly expanding our product portfolio in terms of both branded pharmaceutical products (BPPs) and compounded pharmaceutical products (CPPs). We transitioned NDAs for BPPs, such as IOPIDINE® and MAXITROL®, and we rounded out the year by announcing the acquisition of U.S. commercial rights to ILEVRO®, NEVANAC®, VIGAMOX®, MAXIDEX®, and TRIESENCE®, which are currently in various stages of preparedness for revitalization and relaunch once their NDAs are transferred to Harrow. We also launched several new compounded pharmaceutical products, including Fortisite™, and launched Atropine.com for easier distribution of Atropine, including our next-generation compounded Atropine formulations that do not contain either preservatives or boric acid. Lastly, in 2022, we realized our goal of becoming a “pure-play ophthalmic pharmaceutical company” with the divestiture of our non‑ophthalmic-related assets.

We believe that Harrow is well positioned as one of the leading U.S. eyecare pharmaceutical companies, meeting the needs of our customers and patients where they are and providing them accessible and affordable pharmaceutical medicines and formulations that fill unmet needs in ophthalmology. I speak for the entire Harrow Family when I say that we are very excited – and prepared – for what 2023 (and beyond) has in store for us.”

For additional information, including a reconciliation of such Core Results and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measures presented in accordance with GAAP, see the explanation of non‑GAAP measures and reconciliation tables at the end of this release.

The Company recently made a change to its methodology for reporting of Adjusted EBITDA to include acquired in-process R&D (“IPR&D”) charges. During the 2021 reporting periods, similar IPR&D transactions were excluded from Adjusted EBITDA for reporting purposes. This change is the result of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent industry correspondence on this matter.

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) attributable to Harrow Health, Inc., excluding the effects of stock‑based compensation and expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, investment loss, net, gain on forgiveness 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) attributable to Harrow Health, Inc. 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.

Included in Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 is an in-process R&D (IPR&D) charge of $8.1 million associated with an upfront payment related to the execution of a licensing and supply arrangement with Sintetica, S.A. for IHEEZO. This $8.1 million charge was previously excluded in the prior year reporting periods from Adjusted EBITDA and has been adjusted to account for a change in the Company’s methodology to now include similar IPR&D transactions for Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP disclosure and reporting purposes. This change is the result of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent industry correspondence on this matter.

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 and year ended December 31, 2022, and for the same periods in 2021:

Core Results

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.
