The Harrow, Inc. (NASDAQ:HROW) First-Quarter Results Are Out And Analysts Have Published New Forecasts
Harrow, Inc. (NASDAQ:HROW) missed earnings with its latest quarterly results, disappointing overly-optimistic forecasters. Unfortunately, Harrow delivered a serious earnings miss. Revenues of US$44m were 16% below expectations, and statutory losses ballooned 84% to US$0.74 per share. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. We've gathered the most recent statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their earnings models, following these results. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Harrow's eight analysts is for revenues of US$348.6m in 2026. This reflects a substantial 30% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Harrow is also expected to turn profitable, with statutory earnings of US$0.29 per share. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$351.3m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.44 in 2026. The analysts seem to have become more bearish following the latest results. While there were no changes to revenue forecasts, there was a large cut to EPS estimates. Check out our latest analysis for Harrow It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target was broadly unchanged at US$68.38, with the analysts clearly implying that the forecast decline in earnings is not expected to have much of an impact on valuation. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Harrow at US$88.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at US$59.00. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await Harrow shareholders. Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. The analysts are definitely expecting Harrow's growth to a...

Baum President and Chief Financial Officer — Andrew Boll Chief Commercial Officer — Patrick Sullivan Chief Scientific Officer — Amir Shojaei Mark L. Baum, Chief Executive Officer; Andrew Boll, President and Chief Financial Officer; Pat Sullivan, Chief Commercial Officer; and Amir Shojaei, Chief Scientific Officer. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Mark. Mark? Mark Baum: Thank you, and good morning, everyone. To begin, as a growth-oriented business, the fuel for our success is and will always be demand. Without buyers seeing value in Harrow's products, ordering and reordering them, we wouldn't have a business. So demand is the key. And from that standpoint, the underlying fundamentals of Harrow have never been stronger. While the headline revenue number this quarter reflects a specific isolated dynamic, let me be clear to my fellow stockholders, our data demonstrates that demand for our key growth drivers is accelerating. Further, our market share capture is sustainable and will translate into profitable revenue growth. The $8 million revenue reduction in the first quarter was specifically tied to VEVYE. As detailed in my letter to stockholders, the surge that we saw in demand from patients with high deductibles from this new band of commercial coverage that we were so excited about, it just outpaced our initial financial modeling assumptions. Andrew will discuss this in greater detail shortly. However, we identified this issue. We corrected it. And importantly, our fix to return to our net pricing assumptions has shown negligible impact on the underlying new prescription VEVYE demand. That's the key. With the high deductible season largely behind us and new business rules in place, we expect to realize the full financial benefit of our expanded coverage moving forward, starting in the second quarter. I want to go back to demand, though, because a lack of demand in the face of a concerted commercial effort is nearly impossible to remedy. Across our portfolio and specifically with our key growth driver products, we do not have that problem. In fact, demand trends are strong, even for what is traditionally a weaker first quarter period due to standard industry seasonality. Moreover, you've probably seen on LinkedIn that we've hired more than 90 new...

Harrow Inc (NASDAQ:HROW) reported strong demand trends for its key growth driver products, including VEVYE, IHEEZO, and TRIESENCE, which are at or above internal expectations. The company successfully doubled its sales force, hiring over 90 new sales professionals, which is expected to further accelerate demand and revenue growth. VEVYE has surpassed Xiidra in total prescriptions and is gaining market share, with expectations for continued positive coverage changes over the next 12 to 18 months. Harrow Inc (NASDAQ:HROW) is expanding its Access Plus cash-pay business, increasing safety stock, and positioning the team for growth to deliver essential, affordable products. The company reaffirmed its 2026 revenue guidance of $350 million to $365 million, with expectations for a strong second half driven by several catalysts, including new product launches and improved pricing. Harrow Inc (NASDAQ:HROW) experienced an $8 million revenue reduction in Q1 due to a gross to net modeling issue related to VEVYE's coverage rollout, impacting net revenue per unit. The company reported a negative adjusted EBITDA of $12.7 million for the first quarter of 2026. IHEEZO's revenue contribution was minimal in Q1 due to channel inventory absorption and is expected to remain below prior year levels in Q2. The A...

Harrow Health, Inc. Q1 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Management attributed the Q1 revenue shortfall to a discrete $8 million gross-to-net modeling dynamic for VEVYE, where a surge in high-deductible patient volume outpaced initial financial assumptions. Underlying demand for VEVYE remains robust, with new prescriptions growing 25% sequentially despite a broader branded dry eye market that declined 18% during the same period. The company completed a major commercial expansion, doubling the VEVYE sales force and tripling the TRIESENCE team to convert accelerating demand into sustained revenue. IHEEZO demand continues to build in the retina market, with management focusing on transitioning volume from the ASC setting to the more durable in-office procedural market. Operational issues in the Access+ compounding business related to prior inventory constraints have been resolved, positioning the segment to return to a growth trajectory. Management emphasizes that the business has shifted from an infrastructure-building phase to an execution phase focused on 'economic accomplishment' and profitability. Reiterated full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $350 million to $365 million, supported by a significant expected step-up in second-half performance. VEVYE net pricing is expected to improve by approximately 30% following mid-April business rule adjustments that capped co-pay buydowns for high-deductible patients. The July 1 launch of a permanent J-code for IOPIDINE 1% is expected to unlock a market of 1.5 million annual laser procedures by aligning physician incentives with reimbursement. IHEEZO is positioned for a 'step change' in Q3 and Q4 driven by a 20% to 25% improvement in net pricing and the introduction of new multi-unit packaging. The G-MELT NDA submission is targeted for Q1 2027, with management viewing it as a potential top-selling asset capable of disrupting standard procedural sedation. The transition of IHEEZO out of the 'pass-through' reimbursement status in ASCs has led to a strategic pivot toward the in-office setting where coverage is nearly 95%. Management flagged a standard industry lag in claims reporting as the reason the VEVYE mix shift was not fully confirmed until mid-April. The commercial launch of BYOOVIZ on July 1 and the trade launch of BYQL...

Harrow Q1 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Harrow, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Harrow said first-quarter results were hurt by a VEVYE gross-to-net accounting issue tied to a higher mix of high-deductible patients, but management stressed that underlying demand remains strong and the issue has been addressed with pricing and buydown changes. The company reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance of $350 million to $365 million and expects second-quarter revenue of $71 million to $81 million, with VEVYE still projected to exceed $100 million in annual revenue. Management highlighted several second-half catalysts, including expanded VEVYE sales coverage, improved net pricing, the July launches of BYOOVIZ and IOPIDINE’s permanent J-code, and ongoing momentum in TRIESENCE and IHEEZO. Harrow (NASDAQ:HROW) executives said the company’s first-quarter results were weighed down by a discrete revenue issue tied to VEVYE coverage and high-deductible patients, but management repeatedly emphasized that underlying demand for its core ophthalmic products is accelerating. On the company’s first-quarter 2026 earnings call, CEO Mark L. Baum said the quarter’s headline revenue figure reflected “a specific isolated dynamic” rather than a deterioration in demand. Harrow reported consolidated revenue of $44.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of negative $12.7 million for the quarter, according to President and Chief Financial Officer Andrew Boll. → Beyond NVIDIA: Picks-and-Shovels AI Plays with Strong Momentum “The underlying fundamentals of Harrow have never been stronger,” Baum said, adding that demand for the company’s key growth drivers is “at or above” internal expectations. Management said VEVYE generated approximately $20.9 million in first-quarter revenue, but that reported revenue was reduced by about $8 million due to a gross-to-net modeling issue related to expanded commercial coverage that began Jan. 1. → MercadoLibre Boldly Invests in Growth: Discount Deepens Boll said Harrow’s initial business rules assumed a certain patient mix and level of out-of-pocket support.

At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to Mike Biega, Vice President of Investor Relations and Communications for Harrow. Please go ahead.
Thank you, operator. Good morning, and welcome to Harrow's first quarter 2026 earnings conference call. My name is Mike Biega, Vice President of Investor Relations and Communications, and I'm excited to be introducing today's call. The company's remarks may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Harrow's control, including risks and uncertainties described from time to time in its SEC filings, such as the risks and uncertainties related to the company's ability to make commercially available its FDA-approved products and compounded formulations and technologies and FDA approval of certain drug candidates in a timely manner or at all.

This conference call contains time-sensitive information and is accurate only as of today. Joining me on today's call are Mark L. Baum, Chief Executive Officer; Andrew Boll, President and Chief Financial Officer; Pat Sullivan, Chief Commercial Officer; and Amir Shojaei, Chief Scientific Officer. I would like to turn the call over to Mark. Mark?
Thank you and good morning, everyone. To begin, as a growth-oriented business, the fuel for our success is and will always be demand. Without buyers seeing value in Harrow's products, ordering and reordering them, we wouldn't have a business. Demand is the key. From that standpoint, the underlying fundamentals of Harrow have never been stronger. While the headline revenue number this quarter reflects a specific isolated dynamic, let me be clear to my fellow stockholders, our data demonstrates that demand for our key growth drivers is accelerating. Further, our market share capture is sustainable and will translate into profitable revenue growth. The $8 million revenue reduction in the first quarter was specifically tied to VEVYE, as detailed in my letter to stockholders.
The surge that we saw in demand from patients with high deductibles from this new band of commercial coverage that we were so excited about, it just outpaced our initial financial modeling assumptions. Andrew will discuss this in greater detail shortly. We identified this issue. We corrected it, and importantly, our fix to return to our net pricing assumptions has shown negligible impact on the underlying new prescription VEVYE demand. That's the key. With the high deductible season largely behind us and new business rules in place, we expect to realize the full financial benefit of our expanded coverage moving forward, starting in the second quarter. I want to go back to demand, though, because a lack of demand in the face of a concerted commercial effort is nearly impossible to remedy. Across our portfolio, and specifically with our key growth driver products, we do not have that problem.
In fact, demand trends are strong, even for what is traditionally a weaker first quarter period due to standard industry seasonality. You've probably seen on LinkedIn that we've hired more than 90 new sales professionals. Our promised commercial investments that is doubling our sales forces in dry eye and surgical and bolstering other teams are complete. We're now entering a period where the work we've been doing over the past several years is translating into meaningful, sustained growth and demand, and this will in turn convert to revenue. Across VEVYE, IHEEZO, and TRIESENCE, our core growth drivers, we are seeing strong, durable demand trends that are at or above our internal expectations. In our business, once again, operational issues, they can be fixed. A lack of demand cannot. Let me provide some additional color on a few key products.
On VEVYE, we are seeing record prescription growth, continued market share gains, and increasing prescriber adoption. The product has now reached a highly meaningful position in the market, having officially surpassed Xiidra in total prescriptions as of the end of March as we continue to close the gap with other category leaders. Crucially, this happened with half the number of reps we now have deployed. We are positioned to see this momentum accelerate, especially as we continue to successfully gain additional positive coverage changes, which we expect over the next 12 to 18 months. I'm especially pleased that more recently, we are seeing higher daily new prescription highs and higher lows. Breaking demand trend lines for a chronic care product to the upside is a very good thing. IHEEZO demand continues to build across both retina and in-office accounts.
We're seeing record numbers of new accounts. This trend has continued into the second quarter. We are still early in unlocking the full opportunity here. As we move into the second half of the year with improved pricing, new packaging, and upcoming clinical data specific to IHEEZO in retina procedures, we're positioning IHEEZO for a step change in growth. TRIESENCE is also demonstrating the kind of consistency that we expect. Even in what is typically a more challenging seasonal period for surgery, demand continued to grow sequentially with increasing adoption and strong reorder behavior. These are clear indicators that the product is gaining traction in clinical practice. Following my recent time in the field with several large new TRIESENCE accounts, it is clear to me that our expansion into the surgical inflammation market is bearing fruit and will be a part of our long-term revenue growth strategy.
Our Access+ cash pay business, which includes both our branded and compounded products, having successfully worked through prior inventory constraints, is also on track. We are currently increasing safety stock and expanding the Access+ sales team, positioning this team to enter growth mode so we can deliver essential, affordable cash pay products that our customers rely on. As Pat will discuss shortly, these are the exact demand trends we look for across our portfolio. Growing demand signals, expanding account adoption, and improving execution, leading to greater breadth and depth within those accounts. As I look at Harrow today, I've never been more confident about where we are or where we're going. Simply put, the business is positioned beautifully for the balance of this year and has never been more valuable. A few more points on the second half setup, though.
One, as I mentioned, we made targeted high conviction investments to scale our commercial platform and unlock the full potential of our portfolio. We recruited top talent to Harrow. That work is now complete. We've built the commercial infrastructure, expanded our reach, and attracted the exact kind of talent that wins in this industry. What that means is straightforward. We now have the engine in place to convert the demand that we're seeing into sustained revenue and profitability performance. As we move forward, several factors support strong and sustainable growth. First, our core products operate in large, under-penetrated markets with significant runways ahead. These are not short cycle opportunities. These are durable growth platforms. Second, awareness is building. New account starts are accelerating. Breadth and depth within accounts are expanding, and these factors drive the value of our products within our customers' practices in a highly meaningful way.
Third, refill rates and reorder rates that are at or above our internal estimates support bullish demand metrics for our key products. Fourth, the most challenging part of the year is behind us. Some of you have heard one of my mantras, and that is that at Harrow, we're not interested in mere activity. We celebrate economic accomplishment. We focus on economic accomplishment. As we move through the balance of 2026, we expect to see accelerating momentum as our commercial investments fully translate into financial results or economic accomplishment. The non-recurring VEVYE revenue modeling dynamic does not change Harrow's trajectory. If anything, it reinforces how powerful the underlying business is and what can come from VEVYE, especially as these new patients refill their prescriptions in a profitable way for our stockholders. We are executing, building momentum, and it is clearly showing in the demand data.
Because of this, underlying demand is tracking in line with or above our expectations, therefore, we're fully reaffirming our 2026 revenue guidance of between $350 million-$365 million for the full year. This accelerating commercial engine underpins our unified corporate initiative to achieve $250 million in quarterly revenue by the end of 2027. I will now turn the call over to Andrew Boll, our President and Chief Financial Officer. Andrew?
Good morning, everyone. For the first quarter of 2026, we reported consolidated revenues of $44.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of negative $12.7 million. As we previously communicated, Q1 was expected to be the lowest revenue quarter of the year. This reflects several factors. As expected, a minimal GAAP contribution from IHEEZO as channel inventory is absorbed and softer revenue from the compounding business as we work through prior inventory constraints. Breaking down Q1 performance by product, VEVYE generated about $20.9 million in revenue. IHEEZO contributed $1.9 million, in line with expectations.
Our specialty TRIESENCE portfolio delivered $7.8 million, and Access+ revenue was $13.5 million. As Mark noted, during the quarter, we experienced a gross to net modeling dynamic related to the VEVYE coverage rollout, which resulted in a discrete reduction of reported revenue by approximately $8 million. To provide additional financial context, ahead of the January 1 coverage launch, we implemented business rules based on specific assumptions regarding patient mix and patient out-of-pocket costs. While January net pricing tracked in line with our forecast, the mix shifted sharply as the quarter progressed. We saw a significantly higher than anticipated proportion of high-deductible patients filling prescriptions through their pharmacy benefit, and our average out-of-pocket buydowns increased rapidly. This growing utilization drove incremental gross to net pressure beyond our internal assumptions, resulting in lower realized net revenue per unit for the period.
Due to the standard industry lag in claims reporting, the full magnitude of this mix shift was confirmed in mid-April. We acted immediately, implementing targeted business rule changes, including strict caps on co-pay buydowns and other program refinements to protect our net pricing going forward. These program changes have isolated this to be primarily a first quarter issue, and we are now well-positioned to receive the complete economic benefit we expect from our expanded coverage moving forward, beginning in Q2. Based on updated modeling and what we have seen through April, net pricing is much better aligned with our internal expectations and should be notably higher than in the first quarter. Importantly, early indicators prove these changes have not negatively impacted underlying demand or patient access to VEVYE.
Given these adjustments and current demand trends, we expect VEVYE to deliver sequential growth and remain fully on track to exceed our $100 million revenue outlook for the year. Looking ahead to the second quarter, we expect total revenues to be in the range of $71 million-$81 million. At the product level, VEVYE is expected to show sequential growth. We should set the IHEEZO revenue start back in Q2, though likely still below prior year levels due to channel dynamics and dependent upon stocking levels associated with our new 5-pack presentation. We will also begin to recognize initial revenues from BYOOVIZ as distributors take on initial stocking orders. As Mark already stated, we are reiterating our full year 2026 revenue guidance of $350 million-$365 million.
Based on current demand trends and customer interactions, we expect the second half of the year to be even stronger than initially anticipated. We have clear visibility into several catalysts that support this robust second half, including continued growth in demand across our core commercial drivers. Full deployment of the expanded VEVYE sales force with a modest impact in Q2 and a highly meaningful contribution beginning in the second half of the year. Realization of the full financial benefit from expanded coverage for VEVYE following our mid-April business rule adjustments. The commercial launch of BYOOVIZ on July first. The permanent J-code for IOPIDINE 1% becoming effective July one, potentially expanding utilization in the in-office procedural setting. An approximate 20%-25% improvement in IHEEZO net pricing, along with the introduction of multi-unit packaging beginning in Q3.
Upcoming clinical milestones for IHEEZO, including initial retina data at the ASRS meeting in July and top line results from the qual study in the fourth quarter. Finally, continued growth in TRIESENCE, building on the momentum in ocular inflammation with a dedicated sales force that recently doubled in size. Taken together, these drivers give us high confidence in accelerating growth and improved financial performance as we move through the remainder of 2026. I'll now turn it over to Chief Commercial Officer, Pat Sullivan.
Thanks, Andrew. Good morning, everyone. I will detail the commercial execution across our portfolio. The thread that runs through every one of these slides is exactly the same. Demand is accelerating, access is improving, and our scaled commercial organization is now actively converting that demand into revenue. Starting with VEVYE, the four numbers at the top of this slide tell the demand story. New prescriptions grew approximately 25% sequentially, total prescriptions grew about 11%, our prescriber base expanded by another 12% sequentially, and we exited March at roughly 14% branded share, officially surpassing Xiidra on a monthly TRX basis and steadily gaining ground on MIEBO. Crucially, all of this was achieved with a smaller sales force of fewer than 50 representatives.
Now that we have doubled the VEVYE team, we are aggressively deploying these new reps into both uncovered and underserved territories, which will directly fuel further growth in NRX and TRX. This is happening in a market that has real underlying tailwinds. The dry eye category has grown 20% year-over-year in prescription volume in each of the last two years, and VEVYE was effectively the only branded product to grow in Q1. That is the absolute cleanest signal you can get that the brand is winning on its own merit. Moving to IHEEZO, demand continues to build. Unit demand grew 18% year-over-year. New ordering accounts increased 21 in the quarter, and total accounts are up nearly 50% versus last year.
Retina remains the core driver, representing over 80% of volume. The momentum we saw in Q1 has continued in the early part of Q2. Interest in IHEEZO continues to build. With demand increasing and new accounts continuing to come on board, there is substantial runway ahead within the retina market. We are starting to see early and encouraging signs of adoption in the in-office setting. That expanding interest across settings reflects growing physician familiarity and confidence in the product. Reinforces our view of the broader long-term opportunity for IHEEZO. Looking ahead, this growth story is driven by two engines, continued momentum in retina and expansion into the broader in-office market. What underpins both is a very strong refill dynamic. Once a practice adopts IHEEZO, they continue to reorder. We also have four distinct catalysts that will drive the next step change in growth.
Expanding into the full in-office market adds more than 2.5 million procedures to the addressable opportunity. This expansion is underway and off to a strong start. The first available retina-specific clinical data begins reading out in July, followed by additional data in the fourth quarter, which is designed to accelerate adoption. We are launching multi-unit packaging tailored for high-volume practices. We expect a meaningful improvement in net pricing in the second half of the year. These four catalysts completely underpin our conviction in IHEEZO's accelerating trajectory from Q3 onward. On TRIESENCE, the headline number is 136% year-over-year unit volume. March alone was up 113% year-over-year. This is now our sixth consecutive quarter of demand growth, and unit demand has grown roughly 250% over those six quarters.
The composition of this growth matters. 44% of Q1 volume came from the ocular surgery account, and we expect that segment to drive the majority of new volume going forward. New account growth was approximately 28% sequentially. We are seeing increasing integration into the procedural workflows, particularly among cataract surgeons, driven by the product's ability to simplify postoperative care and improve the patient experience. That value proposition is directly translating into reordering. In addition, our label expansion study in cataract surgery and pain is underway, which is positioned to materially expand the long-term opportunity. This slide is a reminder of the sheer breadth of what sits behind our three lead products. We have one of, if not the largest portfolios of ophthalmic prescription medications in the U.S. market, spanning specialty steroids, NSAIDs and anti-inflammatories, antihistamines, antibiotics, plus the most comprehensive ophthalmic compounded portfolio in the U.S. market.
Two highlights from Q1. We secured the IOPIDINE J-code, which I will cover in a moment, and we are unlocking the value of two additional historically underappreciated assets. Each of these assets is positioned to enter new on-label markets and contribute meaningful incremental revenue. brinzolamide is the first and only label product for vernal keratoconjunctivitis, a devastating form of severe ocular allergies that affects children and adults. Our research clearly shows the degree to which the disease is underdiagnosed. We intend to share our plans regarding brinzolamide opportunity in the near term. The second is Natacyn, a product for fungal blepharitis and other sight-threatening fungal infections. We are conducting a study for that product and will share more information later this year.
Lastly, within our Access+ cash pay business, our supply chain operations successfully cleared the backorders accumulated last year for certain compounded products, rebuilt inventory across the key stock, keeping units, and completely restored the operational confidence our customers expect. Let me close on IOPIDINE 1%. The only FDA-approved therapy to prevent intraocular pressure spikes following various in-office procedures, backed by strong, well-established clinical data supporting its use in this setting. Despite that clinical profile, IOPIDINE has historically been underutilized for one specific reason. Physicians had no reimbursement pathway, and the product sat as a cost center within capitated fees. That fundamentally changes on July first when the permanent J-code takes effect at ASP plus 6%. Physician incentives are now perfectly aligned with evidence-based practice. The addressable market for laser procedures alone exceeds 1.5 million annual use cases. There is no FDA-approved alternative with an established J-code.
Critically, IOPIDINE runs through the exact same in-office call point as IHEEZO, meaning we are directly leveraging existing commercial relationships rather than building new ones. We expect this to be highly incremental, high margin contributor as we move through the second half of this year. To summarize the commercial picture, VEVYE is taking share in a growing market and now has the access and sales force density to dramatically accelerate. IHEEZO's demand continues to grow sequentially, armed with four independent growth catalysts landing in the second half. Alongside continued strength in retina and a highly successful expansion into the in-office setting. TRIESENCE has delivered six straight quarters of growth with a major label expansion in motion. IOPIDINE hits a critical reimbursement inflection on July 1 that unlocks a market that has been waiting for it.
Demand across the entire portfolio is robust, and our commercial organization has never been better positioned to convert it. With that, I will now turn the call over to Amir to discuss the assets we recently acquired from Melt Pharmaceuticals.
Thanks, Pat. I wanted to spend a few minutes on MELT-300, our IV and opioid-free procedural sedation candidate. Having spent nearly 30 years in drug development advancing major global assets, I view MELT-300 as a pipeline candidate of the highest caliber. It is uniquely positioned to disrupt standard procedural sedation and positively impact millions of patients. Regarding our clinical and regulatory progress, following the acquisition of Melt, the program's required deliverables included 3 pharmacokinetic studies and a non-clinical toxicology study. We have successfully initiated all of these programs. The non-clinical study is now in the reporting phase, and the 1st pharmacokinetic study has also been completed and is in the CSR drafting stage. The other 2 PK studies are the renal and hepatic impairment study, both of which are underway, and we anticipate final reports in Q4 2026. On the manufacturing front, our integration and scale-up activities are advancing rapidly.
A major manufacturing campaign scheduled for later this quarter will formalize the data package required for our NDA submission. Based on our current trajectory, we remain firmly on track with our targeted timelines. By our next quarterly call, we expect to provide a definitive update regarding our pre-NDA meeting date with the FDA. With that, I would now like to turn it over to our operator for Q&A.
Thank you. We do ask that you please limit to 1 question and 1 follow-up. Our first question will come from Tamar Abernathy with Cantor.
Hi. Thank you so much. This is Tamar Abernathy on for Steve Seedhouse. In terms of VEVYE, could you talk about the gross to net adjustment in more detail and to what extent this was driven by typical seasonality and maybe what were the major buckets, you know, such as co-pay assistance, high deductible buydowns, you know, cash pay economics, and to what extent this gross to net adjustment is isolated to Q1? Thank you so much.
Thank you, Tamar. First of all, the first quarter typically for Part D products with the deductibles resetting is always a challenging period for these types of products. As we noted, I think, in one of our documents, the dry eye category for the first quarter was actually down in total prescriptions. In fact, the branded market was down 18%. That's in the face of the overall category improving better than 20% for the last two years. What we highlight, and what I think is important, is that our NRX growth, our new prescription growth, was actually up 25% sequentially in the face of a branded market that was down 18%. Our TRX growth was up 11%, once again, in the face of a branded market that was down 18%.
With CVS specifically, the new benefit manager that we brought on, the new coverage on the commercial side, we were up 170% in sequential growth with that set of plans alone. We did very well. What I would say is, I want Andrew to comment on this, is that, you know, we had to make a bet with our model in terms of what the likely volume would be for patients with high deductibles. Frankly, the surge in volume that we saw was so large that it really just exceeded the modeling that Andrew and his team had done. On the one hand, it's a bad thing to see this $8 million revenue reduction as a result of this.
On the other hand, we do know that we retain these commercial patients for a long time. While we didn't do as well with these patients during the month of January and February and March, we're gonna do very well with them on a go-forward basis. Andrew, do you wanna specifically add to that regarding gross to net in the first quarter and any co-pay assistance?
Yeah. Tamar, thanks for the question. Just to kind of add on to what Mark was saying, as we kind of looked at the average net pricing for these CVS patients in particular, and our out-of-pocket pay-down for patients in general, the CVS patients were coming in about 40% higher on a out-of-pocket buydown amount than any other covered patient for us. As obviously, when we modeled things, we didn't expect that buydown to be significantly higher for these patients.
Once we accumulated all the data and could make a decision based on the trends in mid-April, we adjusted those rules to basically take down the amount out-of-pocket buydowns we were putting into that patient bucket. We also made some tweaks that will affect patients on other plans as well, but should improve net pricing. I think it'll have minimal impact on what the patient's actual out-of-pocket is. I think in some cases, actually, the patient's out-of-pocket will get better based on just some of these tweaks we did to the business rule.
As we kind of talk through the initial trends that we're seeing, importantly, is that there's minimal to no impact to demand, at least what we're seeing through the first, these first few weeks of implementation of the new business rules. Importantly, we will now go from those CVS patients essentially being on average, negative revenue to much more positive and contributing to overall net revenue for on a go-forward basis.
Thank you. The next question's gonna come from Chase Knickerbocker with Craig-Hallum. Your line's open.
Good morning, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. Maybe just to kind of ask it directly on VEVYE around ASPs. You had mentioned kind of an $8 million, you know, impact if the business rules had been changed, you know, for the entirety of the first quarter. As we look kind of in Q2 and onward, I mean, that's about a, you know, call it mid-30s% kind of impact. Is that what we should be assuming sort of from a potential increase of ASP? Or maybe, you know, just making sure that I'm kind of thinking about that the right way. Thanks.
Andrew, I don't know that we can give a specific answer regarding ASP, but I know that you've done some calculations on what the likely improvement is, and it's impressive. Do you wanna try and tackle that one?
Yeah. Chase, obviously, that's assuming status quo. I think that's a reasonable assumption to assume roughly 30% increase.
Helpful. Thank you. Maybe just you guys have a couple weeks of additional bill visibility relative to us, obviously, on kind of the VEVYE data. So far since those business rule changes, could you maybe just give us some commentary as far as what you've seen in recent weeks as it relates to volume, just kind of confirming this isn't having an impact? Maybe around those, around that, Andrew, if you could kind of explain in a little bit greater detail how the out-of-pockets could actually kind of be coming down for these patients with these business changes, respecting the fact that there's a lot of detail here. Thank you.
Thanks for that, Chase. Yeah, in terms of VY volumes, more recently in the last, let's say, 20 days even, I think I mentioned this in my stockholder letter, but I watch the new prescription volumes like a hawk. I mean, literally multiple times a day, we have a dashboard that gives us real-time data as to what's coming in. I know, for example, you know, at 4:00 o'clock Central, what the likely total day volume will be because we've got a lot of data in our system in terms of, you know, what the balance of the day will look like as the Mountain Time and Pacific physicians begin to write for VY.
I think what I'm really pleased with, and I mentioned this in my opening remarks, is that I am seeing higher highs and higher lows in the last 15 days, especially. I think that's as a result of these new reps actually being out in the field, making the calls, and their work beginning to bear fruit. That's really exciting. In particular, I'm seeing days in the week that are usually lower in volume than other days in the week, now all of a sudden, they're popping up, breaking trend lines and becoming much better days in the week. We're having record days, record weeks, and as I said, higher highs and higher lows. That's really positive, we can see those trend lines breaking.
The work that we are doing out in the field with this doubling of the sales force is beginning to have an impact. Andrew, do you wanna talk about patient out-of-pocket?
Yeah. Chase, I'm gonna try to speak to this without giving too much detail because a lot of our competitors listen to this call as well. What I would say is we are gonna leverage our VAFA program and cash pay program with some of those patients as well, which, you know, as you know, the cash pay price there is $59 for the product.
Helpful, guys. Thank you.
Thank you. The next question comes from Lachlan Hanbury-Brown with William Blair. Your line's open.
Hey, guys. Thanks for the question. I guess maybe I'll ask one on Yervoy. Just how should we think about the dynamics in Q2? Is channel inventory sort of largely normalized at this point? How do we think about the sort of sunsetting of the current packaging versus the introduction of the new packaging and how that may impact Q2?
Yeah. I'll make a few comments, Lachlan, and then turn it over to Andrew. You know, I think a couple of important data points. 1 is 2025, we saw 30% of our unit volume come from the ASC setting. I think you know that. The ASC setting in the Q1 period was down to 18%. I think as I said in the stockholder letter, we should be able to eclipse the entirety of that ASC volume through the in-office sales that we're beginning to see flow by the end of the year. That's very promising. Obviously, we've now moved to a 5-pack presentation. You know, we've made some, you know, I think very significant improvements to ASP that'll begin to kick in in the third quarter.
I think we even referenced the figure of, you know, better than 20% improvement. That's really, I think, important. I think what our sales force is particularly excited about is finally having some retina-specific data to be able to present to accounts. Everything that we've done, you know, we've got a few percentage points of market share, but not many. The vast majority of the market opportunity remains under-penetrated, unpenetrated, we believe that this data is going to certainly help us. That's showing up, by the way, in Q2. We're seeing record new account starts, and that I think bodes well for not only the second quarter but the third quarter and beyond. That's what I think gives us so much confidence in our reiteration of our guidance.
Andrew, do you wanna talk about the stocking dynamic and what to expect in Q2 versus Q3?
Yeah, absolutely. hey, Lachlan. Second quarter revenue for IHEEZO, we're expecting to be still be somewhat muted, especially compared to second quarter last year. We're still working through that remainder of channel inventory that was taken in Q4 and the loss of pass-through. To Mark's Mark and Pat's points, you know, we're seeing a big increase in demand, especially on the retina side. A lot of new accounts coming through.
any revenue that we're gonna be booking will be below last year, but we should start seeing revenue increasing from my IHEEZO and then get to more of a normalized level beginning in Q3 and Q4, especially as we introduce this new multi-pack option, which we will commercially launch in July of this year.
Maybe if I could just also ask one on IOPIDINE 1% with the new J-code. Sort of how should we think about that adoption and the market opportunity? Obviously, a lot of procedures out there where it could be used, but just as we think about, you know, how it changes in terms of the contribution it makes starting in Q3, is that gonna be a meaningful driver of the back half, or is it more incremental, especially in light of, you know, some of the changes with VEVYE and IHEEZO trials?
Yeah, I would definitely say it's gonna be an incremental contributor on the launch, you know, in the third quarter and the fourth quarter of this year. We're more bullish on the contribution, you know, in terms of it showing up relative to our overall size, in 2027. We're really pleased to have a J-code. It is a sizable market. Frankly, the laser procedure market, which is what we kinda quote in terms of the overall TAM at better than 1.5 million annual procedures, is really only a fraction of the potential use cases of the product. There are a lot of procedures that occur in the office that can induce a pressure spike.
Right now, these offices are using, you know, a variety of off-label products, once again, that are paid for out of a capitated fee. I think that the opportunity to use something that is on label, that is reimbursable, at ASP plus, is very attractive, and we've done a meaningful amount of market research to validate that. We're pleased to get that launched. It'll be incremental this year. It'll show up, I think, you know, with bigger numbers in 2027.
Thank you. Our next question is gonna come from Thomas Shrader with BTIG. Your line is open.
Good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. kind of 1 more on VEVYE. Can you give us a remedial rundown of the information flow, why you learned so late, why it took 4 months for you to get a hint that this problem was going on? I feel like you warned on everything this quarter, but then this 1 hit. Is that solved? Then, 1 quick 1 on IHEEZO. It's interesting to see you still have 18% ASC use. Do you think that's stable? Do you think that's people who like it enough that are eating the cost, or is that 18% gonna continue to decline? Thank you.
Thank you for that, Tom Schrader. I'm gonna take the last question first, and then I'll ask Andrew Boll to talk about timing, 'cause I think it's really important. Our stockholders, I think, hopefully will appreciate after Andrew Boll explains this, why this is not a real-time situation. You can't just make a decision, change business rules on a real-time basis, and that we actually acted expeditiously once, you know, we figured this out, and Andrew Boll will talk on that. In terms of IHEEZO and the ASC, the IHEEZO business in the ASC is going to go and probably is now at zero. These ASCs are not going to be purchasing IHEEZO for procedures in that environment.
What we can say is that the unit volumes that we formerly had, and I'm not talking about the 18% that we had in the first quarter, but I'm talking about a more normalized view of what we had in the year 2025 in the ASC environment when those units represented 30% of the overall volume. Those are the unit volumes that we expect to replace with in-office use cases by the end of the year. It's a larger number overall, and it will contribute meaningfully, I think, to, you know, our revenue in 2026 and certainly in 2027. Yeah, the ASC business is gonna go to zero.
The good news for us is that we have durable, sustainable reimbursement in the in-office market, I would say we have nearly pervasive coverage. Nearly pervasive coverage, better than 95% coverage and a prior authorization rate that is sub-5%, extraordinary coverage in office, and that is durable. Andrew, do you Describe, you know, I think in more detail the timing of the work that you and your team did on the business rules?
Yep. Yeah, absolutely, Tom. Appreciate the question. First of all, it's more than just one data set that we use to assess and calculate a lot of these figures. It's co-pay data, it's the claims data from the payer. It's script data from our partners and IQVIA that we're using. As we're getting that data, you know, we're making assumptions. January, which came in, you know, middle of February, when you have all of the data and we can calculate and analyze it, that came in pretty much in line with what we were anticipating. Middle of February, we thought we were in pretty good shape.
When the February data came in, that's when sort of our antennas went up, those numbers were coming in much higher than we thought or anticipated. We didn't wanna make a decision based on that single data point, that single data point being the month of February. We wanted to see how March came in. Unfortunately, when March came in, which the final accumulation of data came in, mid to late April, you know, we knew we had to make changes. I think we had a final data set that we were able to act on on a Friday. We worked over the weekend and had the new business rules out to the partners, Sunday night.
We try to make decisions based on trends and not data points. That's what we did in this case. We worked as quickly as possible to get those changes in place. I think going forward, we should see much better improvement on pricing for the product, especially in the case of some of these covered scripts that we've been talking about.
Perfect. That's useful detail. Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question will come from Mayank Mamtani with B. Riley Securities. Your line's open.
Yes. Good morning, team. Thanks for taking our questions. Regarding the 100 reps hired in a relatively short period of time, Mark, could you touch on what sort of experience they bring in and how you anticipate demand to inflate further as a result of that in second half? I don't know if I heard a commercial mix, you know, of the total NRx that you're seeing. If you could maybe give a little bit more color on also how, you know, these reps can have an impact on improving commercial mix. I think in prepared remarks, Mark, you said there are some positive insurance reimbursement developments for VEVYE, if you could maybe lay that out in this 12-18 month period.
Pat, do you wanna talk about the tenure of some of these new reps?
Thanks, Mark. Thanks for your question. You know, as we talked about, this is all about demand, the indicators that we're seeing are very positive. You know, as Mark mentioned in the letter and previously on the call, you know, we were able to deliver in Q1 the growth with a generally small team of 50 representatives. What we're most excited about in our expansion is the recruitment approach that we used. You know, many reps that we recruited have ophthalmic experience in their exact areas. I think we have a range of experience on the anterior side that I think is gonna position us well for many of the other, you know, competitors in our space right now as we sit today.
We're super excited about that team that's been out there arguably a few weeks as it sits right now. As Mark mentioned, our early indicators in Q2 are showing positive signs, and we are just getting started. I would expect ongoing growth acceleration because of the new profile we have. Our representatives are out there. I think, you know, as Mark mentioned in Q1, we wanted to get them out as soon as possible, but I can tell you that we took a very diligent approach to make sure that we, you know, recruited the right reps. At the same time, put them through a very rigorous approach to make sure that they were stepping in the field to make impact immediately to grow VEVYE. The signs are very positive for us at this point in time.
Like I said, I mean, we're super encouraged and on the prospects for growth going forward. The team, as we said, has been out there for only a few weeks. I think more to follow here in Q2 about the progress they make with their customers. Early signs expect more growth.
Mayank, in terms of, you know, how do you improve the commercial mix? You know, one of the things I like most about Pat is he really believes in incentives very strongly, and he buys into this whole concept of, you know, what you incentivize, you end up getting. You know, we value a commercial-covered prescription in our company certainly more than we do, for example, a cash pay consignment prescription, in terms of the economic value. Pat is a big supporter of that. In terms of new insurance reimbursement, new coverage, the team is actively bidding on that coverage and those processes are in place. You know, we have some idea that, you know, we should see improved coverage over the next 12 to 18 months.
I think that's why we made the statement. We can't get more specific with which benefit managers or which payers. We do believe that we're gonna have some decent coverage wins over the next 12 to 18 months, and we'll see. To the extent that they're meaningful, we'll certainly, you know, make our stockholders aware of those.
Great. Thank you, Pat and Mark. Then on the IHEEZO growth catalyst for second half, I appreciate the color on, you know, which ones are demand versus net pricing improvement related, but I was just trying to understand the full year revenue target for that brand. 'Cause, you know, second half revenue uplift, you know, needed to get to the full year target. If you just look outside of, you know, VEVYE and compounding business, there's a lot of growth, including from iHeal and other products. If you could maybe just help us understand, you know, how do you get to the second half number, you know, throughout the different parts of the portfolio, that would be very helpful.
Yeah. I'll ask Andrew to kind of give some additional cover on that. What I can tell you is that even in the second quarter number for IHEEZO in particular, you know, you're not going to see the same level of revenue we believe for the second quarter as you did, for example, in the first quarter. We do expect to see a meaningful step up in terms of revenue from IHEEZO even in the second quarter. The big improvement to not only unit demand or the big conversion of unit demand to revenue is going to happen in the third and fourth quarter for that product. Andrew, do you want to comment on second half revenue and the guide?
Yeah. Yeah, I will. My answer, I think in the second half, number one, you also get a new product, which is BYOOVIZ coming to market, which we expect it to have, I would say, a meaningful contribution to revenue. IHEEZO we expect from a revenue perspective to be close to last year's number, hopefully in excess of it from a revenue standpoint, depending on demand. VEVYE revenue will continue to ramp quarter-over-quarter, we expect. Hopefully seeing a meaningful improvement in Q2 over Q1. In the second half of the year, we expect to really see the benefit of that sales force expansion, accelerating unit volumes and importantly, net pricing being stabilized on the product.
As Pat kind of mentioned, we should also start seeing contribution from some of these other products that are going to get some attention this year, VERKAZIA, MAXITROL, and then as well as IOPIDINE with the J-code being issued. We've got ImprimisRx on the compounding side and the Access+ side. That business has been sort of out of that inventory issue that had been occurring in Q4 and Q1 of this year, and that business should return to a growth trajectory this year, although more sequentially quarter-over-quarter versus year-over-year.
Thank you.
Thank you. The next question comes from Thomas Flaten with Lake Street Capital Markets. Your line is open.
Hey, good morning, guys. Appreciate you taking the questions. Just to confirm on the sales force expansion. In your letter, you talked about hiring about 100 folks. If I'm understanding, 50 of them went to the Vbi sales team to effectively double that team. The distribution of the balance of those new hires, was it all to the Retina team or, is there something else we should understand about that?
Thank you for that question. I'm glad that I have the chance to clarify. We did hire about 50 new reps for the dry eye team. We also tripled the sales force for TRIESENCE. You know, that sales organization is now three times the size that of the you know, than it once was. We've also made a few incremental hires in Retina. As I said, I think in my prepared remarks, we've also begun to We decided to bolster some of the Access+ team. Finally, VERKAZIA and MAXITROL in particular historically have not had any inventory. They've had inventory problems, you know, with that product, and I'm talking about, you know, pre-Harrow ownership.
It had not really had any, you know, dedicated sales and promotion. Frankly, with both VERKAZIA and MAXITROL, once again, the marketing that was done was really done on only part of the label. We're going to make a big push with those products. We're going to talk a little bit more about VERKAZIA in the coming weeks. I'm particularly very excited about VERKAZIA. We have great pricing on that product. It's a very powerful product in terms of its clinical efficacy and the results that it provides, particularly for children. It's the only cyclosporine that's actually on label for pediatrics. You know, we're going to make a big push in that category. We did build out what we call a specialty team around both of those products.
That team makes up the balance of that 100.
That's super helpful. Thanks for that. Then Mark, previously, I think you've mentioned, I want to say used the word bounty, for pulling the GMLT submission, into 2026. I heard early 2027 today. I'm just curious if there, if there was a chance that that could get pulled forward if we should really think about an early 2027 NDA submission for GMLT.
Right now, I think, you know, let's think about a Q1 2027 submission. We're working really hard, I know the team is, to complete the balance of the data gathering and to build the dossier for submission. I think by our next conference call, we'll have a lot more information, and I'll be able to, you know, I think, specify as to, you know, whether or not we'll be able to get a submission made at the end of the year. If we did, it would be at the very, very end of the year. I have to tell you, whether we make the submission in late December or early January or even early February. The potential that we see for that product is just extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary.
You know, I do believe in due course that that product will be perhaps our largest selling product by revenue. We're really excited to get that NDA filed. All the really difficult, risky work is behind us. The work that Amir discussed is, I don't wanna say perfunctory, but it is, you know, ultra-low risk data gathering. We're excited to meet with the FDA in a pre-NDA meeting. We'll have more information about that in August when we have our next call. Thank you very much.
Thank you. The next question will come from Yi Chen with H.C. Wainwright. Your line is open.
Thank you for taking my questions. Could you comment on whether BYQLOVI has already been launched and whether your current full year revenue guidance includes sales of BYQLOVI please? Thank you.
Thank you, Yi. The BYQLOVI launch, strictly speaking, when we say launch, we mean trade launch. We mean actual sales of the product. Believe it or not, from a sampling perspective, BYQLOVI is actually launched. We've begun to distribute BYQLOVI samples to select customers. You know, I think there are several thousand of those samples out. We're gonna spend the next couple of months continuing that process of sampling and talking to customers about BYQLOVI, which we think is a best-in-class topical steroid. The topical steroid category is a very large category. We're gonna begin the trade portion of the launch, you know, actually selling the product, driving revenue. That will begin in the third quarter.
Strictly speaking, you know, if you were to go into the offices of some of these doctors that are a part of this program, they will have access to BYQLOVI right now. Samples are out, trade's gonna begin in the third quarter of this year. In terms of the numbers that we're quoting, they are inclusive of BYQLOVI for sure.
Can you also comment on how much contribution do you expect these two drugs to make beyond 2026?
Yes. We're not giving revenue-specific guidance on each product. Especially, you know, on a new launch. I think that would, you know, we would have a tough time doing that externally. We certainly have internally, you know, a model built, but we're not prepared with either BYQLOVI or even BYOOVIZ at this point to provide, you know, what the expected revenue contribution will be for this year or next year.
Thank you.
Thank you, Yi.
I show no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Mark for closing remarks.
Thank you, operator, and thank you all for joining us today. Let me close with what matters most, and that is Harrow's demand strength is stable. It's a foundation that supports my confidence in our future. With the high deductible season now behind us, we're moving into a period of accelerating growth and execution. The first quarter included a discrete issue that we have resolved, and that does not impact the long-term trajectory of this business. We spent the past several years building this platform, expanding access, scaling our commercial organization, and positioning our portfolio for growth. That work is largely behind us. We're now entering a period where the foundation translates into sustained revenue growth and increasing profitability. Looking ahead, we have clear visibility into the drivers of our performance, from improving access and pricing to new product contributions and clinical milestones.
Beyond that, we're actively shaping our next five-year strategic plan with a clear path to scale our core assets, unlock additional value across the portfolio, and hopefully complete some accretive and exciting acquisitions. When I step back, this is stronger, more scalable, and in my view, a more valuable company than at any point in our history. We truly appreciate your continued trust and support. Thank you, and this will conclude our call.
This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating, and you may now disconnect.

Analysts Estimate Harrow (HROW) to Report a Decline in Earnings: What to Look Out for
Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when Harrow (HROW) reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 11. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise. This pharmaceutical and drug compounding company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.43 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -13.2%. Revenues are expected to be $50.33 million, up 5.2% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 89.66% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction). The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power...

Good morning. Thank you for joining us. Over the past five years, Harrow Health, Inc. has undergone a fundamental transformation. Harrow Health, Inc. now owns one of the largest portfolios of prescription ophthalmic products in the United States market. We have been the most prolific acquirer of ophthalmic pharmaceutical products in the U.S. market, having completed more than a half a dozen transactions, integrating over 15 branded products into our scalable commercial platform that reaches every populated county within the United States and touches with impact nearly every key ophthalmic disease segment. As you will note in my letter to stockholders, I am proud of the fact that during the last five years, hundreds of members of the Harrow Health, Inc. family, including my incredible leadership team, drove real economic accomplishment and stockholder value creation, which resulted in a more than 700% appreciation in the Harrow Health, Inc. stock price during this period. As a founder and a large Harrow Health, Inc. shareholder, I am proud of our track record and the returns we are providing to stockholders who have had the patience to let this team do its thing. This team is not done, and frankly, we have only just begun. I cannot guarantee where our stock price will be five years from now. However, I can say with nearly absolute certainty that Harrow Health, Inc. will be a larger and more powerful enterprise, positively impacting the lives of millions of Americans. I resolutely believe that then we will be selling more of every one of our key products like VEVYE, IHEEZO, and TRIESENCE. I predict we will also sell many more units of other products that many stockholders have not thought too much about. I also predict that we will complete compelling new acquisitions of products and or businesses structured to appropriately balance risk and potential reward. Finally, I can say confidently that one or two product candidates from our recent Melt Pharmaceuticals acquisition, specifically what we are now calling G-MELT and YOCHIL, will be approved for marketing. That if they are coded and reimbursed in the way that we expect, they will make massive improvements to the standard of care in ocular surgery and more generally in the lives of so many Americans in need of an alternative to IV and opioid-based medicaments for sedation and anxiety. It is a very large market. Of course, these assets, as I reflected in my letter to stockholders, should in due course, become our largest revenue products. My bet is that if we do all of that and maybe even a little bit more, patient stockholders should be handsomely rewarded. I invite you to join me for the ride because our best days are absolutely ahead of us. Now, let me provide a bit of color on our business as things stand today. We are entering the final phase of our current 5-year plan, and we are doing so with momentum. The portfolio we have assembled, the pipeline we have advanced, and the commercial infrastructure we have built were designed for scale. This is not a single product company or a single product story. We are meaningfully diversified. Our commercial platform is built for durability, operating leverage, and sustained growth. Today, Harrow Health, Inc. operates as one Harrow Health, Inc., one strategy, one commercial engine, one unified organization. We have constructed a diversified ophthalmic franchise focused on expanding patient access, improving affordability, and delivering strong clinical outcomes. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we saw clear validation of that strategy. For the first time, all of our core growth drivers accelerated simultaneously. That alignment reinforces our confidence and supports our goal of exceeding $250 million in quarterly revenue by the end of 2027. Financially, 2025 was a strong year. We delivered great top-line growth and demonstrated operating leverage, underscoring the earnings power embedded in our model as revenue scales. Let me briefly highlight some of the key drivers. VEVYE is positioned for revenue acceleration and increasing new prescription velocity. Expanded payer coverage is now in effect. We are doubling the VEVYE sales force to ensure that we fully capture the opportunity to build a product with peak sales potential of multiples of last year's numbers. More sales professionals will equal more prescriptions. This should correlate to increasing profitable revenue growth. Our data backs this up. With covered patients averaging approximately 9 refills annually, effectively a full year of therapy, this reinforces the durability of the demand for VEVYE. As access continues to expand and commercial intensity increases, we expect total prescription growth to continue this year and for many years to come as VEVYE finally becomes a 9-figure revenue product this year. IHEEZO delivered a record quarter driven by real traction in a growing number of retina specialists' offices. We have broadened our addressable market by focusing on in-office procedures, effectively increasing our procedure volume TAM by more than 2.5 million units annually. We are also expecting IHEEZO price improvements to begin in the second half of this year as we release a new retina-focused packaging format. At around the same time, we expect retina-specific data readouts from studies underway to show from a patient's perspective the difference between IHEEZO and legacy anesthesia modalities. This is only going to help us, we believe. We have to see what the data says. These 2026 activities should further enhance financial performance. With multiple growth levers now in place, IHEEZO represents a durable and critical part of our long-term strategy. TRIESENCE generated its strongest quarter since relaunch, reflecting accelerating adoption in the very large ocular inflammation market. Based on what I am seeing this quarter, with new account trials starting in numerous potentially very large accounts and growing confidence in market access, I have asked our talent team to at least double the dedicated TRIESENCE sales force to deepen penetration in what remains a very large market. Momentum here is early, but it looks meaningful. Because of the origin of the revenue, it is likely highly sustainable. It is not easy to get a product like TRIESENCE added to a surgical treatment protocol. Once you do, and I have seen this happen many times over the years, if the product delivers exceptional outcomes, as TRIESENCE appears to be doing, then surgeons are often reticent to change. This is what I mean by the sustainability of the TRIESENCE momentum. On a related topic, for years, I have spoken about tracking the migration of elite sales representatives. This is nearly a surefire leading indicator of future success. You see, sales reps go where they can win, where they can make money, and provide for themselves and their families. Well, the word is getting out that TRIESENCE is on the move. These elite reps from around the country are hearing about our commitment to this product, and they know they will also be selling the G-MELT too if they can make it onto our team. A lot of folks want to get in on the G-MELT, believe me. So we are seeing a mushrooming inbound interest from some of the most prolific ocular surgery pharmaceutical representatives who want to take these coveted surgical positions at Harrow Health, Inc. on the TRIESENCE team. This is really good news. Now on to our rare specialty and compounded products. Behind the scenes, believe it or not, we have been planning a few positive surprises for our stockholders. From the part of our portfolio they would probably least expect. Yes, our rare specialty and compounded products. This portfolio is now under new sales leadership, and it will benefit from new resources we are providing to finally wring out the value we expect from this exciting and unique group of products. As I discussed more in my letter to stockholders, there are three products from within this portfolio that our team has been quietly doing great work on. One product is awaiting a coding decision from CMS, which we expect in April. There are no guarantees, but if this comes through next month, it will open up a very nice, attractive market for this product. Regarding another product in this portfolio, we have a key study underway that we expect to read out later this year. Our entire team is super excited about this opportunity. This is a big one. Based on what we know about this product, we expect the study to be able to highlight the opportunity that we have uncovered, and once the data is announced, it should fuel opening up, as I said, a very sizable and compelling market for this product. In fact, we are also simultaneously working out supply chain issues to ensure that if things work out the way we expect, that we will be able to supply the market adequately given the historically lower volumes that this product has required. There is a third product that we expect to be revived from this portfolio to also fill yet another nice but happens to be a smaller market opportunity, but a good one nevertheless. The bottom line is that I believe our stockholders may be positively surprised throughout the year and into next year as our plans for this portfolio are revealed. A few final points. In 2026, we will also launch two important products BYQLOVI and BYOOVIZ, further expanding our retina and specialty footprint and leveraging our commercial platform. Beyond commercialization, our pipeline continues to advance, and Amir will shortly speak about the great work he and his team are doing. In summary, Harrow Health, Inc. is a diversified ophthalmic platform with multiple accelerating growth drivers and increasing operating leverage. We have demonstrated the ability to build, integrate, and grow, and generate a heck of a great return for our patient stockholders as our five-year track record demonstrates. As I said at the outset, I really believe that we are still in the early innings of our growth and stockholder value creation story. With that said, I will turn it over to Andrew. Andrew?
Good morning, everyone. I will begin with our fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results. For the fourth quarter of 2025, consolidated revenues were $89.1 million, representing 33% year-over-year growth. For the full year, revenue was $272 million, up 36% versus 2024. The growth reflected continued strength across our branded portfolio and expanding commercial execution, particularly in the second half of the year. Adjusted EBITDA was $24.2 million in Q4 and $61.9 million for the full year, reflecting 54% year-over-year growth. This margin expansion demonstrates the operating leverage in our model as revenue scales faster than costs, even as we continue investing in commercialization and R&D. In addition, during 2025, we generated just under $44 million of cash from operations, which helped us end the year with $72.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Overall, 2025 was a year of strong execution, improving profitability and disciplined capital allocation. Moving on to our core growth drivers. Starting with BYOOVIZ, fourth quarter revenues were $25.9 million, up 14% sequentially, bringing full-year revenue to $88.7 million, a 216% increase over 2024. Growth reflects expanding demand. IHEEZO generated $35.9 million in Q4 and $81.3 million for the full year, representing 64% quarter-over-quarter growth and 65% year-over-year growth. Performance was driven by increasing penetration across new and existing accounts, particularly in Retina. Based on the momentum we are seeing with TRIESENCE and other modest investments we intend to make in this franchise, we are disclosing this revenue separately for the first time. TRIESENCE fourth quarter revenue was $5.1 million, a 36% increase from the third quarter, totaling $9.9 million for the year, a 193% increase from 2024. The growth was primarily driven by accelerating adoption of TRIESENCE and ocular inflammation. Our rare specialty and compounded portfolio generated $22.2 million in Q4 and $92.3 million for the full year. The temporary compounding inventory constraint discussed last quarter is expected to be resolved in the coming weeks, and we expect inventory levels to normalize near the end of the first quarter. We do not anticipate a recurrence of this issue. For 2026, we are approaching guidance with greater transparency and structure and are committed to providing greater insight into the seasonality of our business and how we expect performance to build throughout the year. We expect full year 2026 revenue between $350 million and $365 million. For modeling purposes, we currently expect first half revenue in the range of $133 million to $153 million, and the second half revenue in the range of $203 million to $226 million, reflecting the expected phasing of demand, channel dynamics, and launch timing across the year. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $80 million to $100 million for the full year, with the majority of the EBITDA generated in the second half of 2026. As in prior years, the second half is expected to be stronger, with that weighting being more pronounced in 2026. Historically, quarterly revenue patterns have been consistent, though 2026 will be slightly more second-half weighted. Like the past two years, the first quarter is expected to be our lowest revenue quarter, primarily due to stocking activity from the fourth quarter and insurance resets and a higher concentration of high-deductible plans. We estimated fourth quarter demand for IHEEZO resulted in approximately one and a half quarters of incremental inventory being built across the channel. That inventory is expected to be drawn down largely during Q1. As a result, although we are seeing demand grow for IHEEZO similar to the first quarter of 2025, because we are drawing down on Q4 2025 inventory within the channel, we do not anticipate meaningful IHEEZO revenue in the first quarter. VEVYE entered the year with expanded coverage effective January 1. While we expect improved access will increasingly drive prescription growth throughout the year, the first quarter typically reflects an increased mix of high-deductible plans, which creates near-term pressure for VEVYE and our branded portfolio. The financial impact of the coverage win will start to be more pronounced as the year progresses and once our expanded sales force is fully deployed. We typically operate with a disciplined, methodical approach to spend, and we have done that for a reason: to protect profitability, derive ROI, and preserve strong cash flow. This year, however, we see a clear opportunity to maintain that discipline while increasing the pace and level of investment to expand our revenue base for years to come. As a result, we expect SG&A to increase to approximately $185 million-$205 million from the year as we expand our sales force across our major products and categories, including VEVYE and TRIESENCE, and prepare to support the launches of BYOOVIZ and BYQLOVI. We plan to add roughly 100 new sales roles in the first half of the year, and we will pair that with increased promotional and marketing investment to drive awareness, adoption, and sustained growth in the back half of the year and into 2027. Importantly, even as we invest, we will continue to manage expenses with a careful eye toward profitability and cash flow, holding ourselves accountable to returns and managing the spend accordingly. We also expect R&D expenses to increase this year to approximately $30 million-$35 million as we complete studies required for the product candidates NDA submissions and as we invest in post-market studies that Amir will discuss later. Efforts we believe can support near and long-term growth across key products. Looking to the second quarter, we expect IHEEZO will lose pass-through status effective April 1, impacting the ASC market. Approximately 30% of 2025 units were generated in the ASC setting. We have been preparing for this transition through our retina pivot in 2024 and the recently announced in-office expansion strategy, which, as Mark said, added about 2.5 million annual procedures to our TAM. The continued growth in retina and the in-office utilization is expected to offset and ultimately exceed the ASC impact. We also plan to launch BYQLOVI in Q2, which will support incremental growth in our specialty portfolio. Looking at the third quarter. We typically experience some late summer softness due to both doctors, staff, and patients going on vacations. The third quarter will include the first full quarter of BYOOVIZ revenue contribution, which should provide incremental growth. We are anticipating that IHEEZO will also catch some of the additional tailwind as a complementary product to BYOOVIZ. Beginning in the third quarter, we expect to start to see the impact of our expanded and fully deployed VEVYE and TRIESENCE sales force driving growth for both products. Starting in the third quarter, we are expecting a pricing improvement for IHEEZO to go into effect. When you combine that with the continued retina growth and the in-office expansion, we expect IHEEZO to have a strong second half of 2026 and position us very well for 2027. The fourth quarter should remain our strongest quarter, driven by demand patterns, stocking activity, and patients reaching out-of-pocket maximums. Finally, as Mark discussed in his letter, as we intentionally transition compounded volume to FDA-approved branded alternatives, shifting revenue into our specialty portfolio, we expect compounded revenue to be approximately $60 million-$65 million for the full year, with Q1 the softest quarter as we exit the final stages of the inventory shortage. In summary, we expect a softer first half as we work through channel inventory, absorb the ASC transition, and navigate seasonal deductible dynamics. In the second half, we expect meaningful acceleration driven by a fully deployed VEVYE and TRIESENCE sales force, contributions from BYOOVIZ and BYQLOVI, improved IHEEZO pricing, expanding retina and in-office adoption, and incremental contribution from specialty products. I will turn the call over to Pat Sullivan.
Thank you, Andrew. Starting with VEVYE, we exited 2025 with strong fourth quarter momentum at a clear inflection point as expanded coverage went live. Despite limited coverage throughout 2025, we delivered a 115% increase in prescribers writing VEVYE, underscoring strong underlying demand for the product. There is so much more opportunity for VEVYE growth in the large and growing U.S. dry eye category. With broader coverage now in place for our sales force expansion underway, we expect prescriber growth to continue. Consistent with the data shared in 2024, covered patients average approximately nine refills in 2025, effectively a full year of therapy. That level of persistence underscores VEVYE's differentiated clinical profile, rapid onset, sustained efficacy, and comfortable on-eye experience without the stinging and burning commonly associated with other treatments. The bottom line, though, is that we do not believe that any product in the category has this level of refill persistence. Since coverage expansion began, we have seen acceleration in new prescription trends despite navigating a challenging period with insurance benefits resetting and high deductible plans. We expect continued improvement as the year progresses. To fully capitalize on this opportunity, we remain on track to double the Veeva sales force by Memorial Day, expanding our Veeva presence among eye care professionals to drive higher prescription volume through 2026. Turning to IHEEZO. This product materially outperformed our expectations in 2025, with an impressive 56% growth in unit demand year-over-year. Growth was driven by our expansion in the new retina practices and deeper utilization within existing accounts. Ordering accounts increased 49% year-over-year. Retina specialists represented approximately 70% of fourth quarter unit volume, underscoring where adoption and clinical traction are strongest. Importantly, we believe we are still in the early innings of penetration with significant untapped market opportunity ahead as we continue to expand utilization and drive broader adoption. Looking ahead, in the second half of 2026, we expect a net price improvement, which we expect will further enhance the product's revenue and overall financial profile. Importantly, this comes as we prepare to launch BYOOVIZ in mid-2026, further accelerating IHEEZO's expansion into new retina accounts while deepening penetration within our existing customer base. We are also expanding IHEEZO into the office-based setting to broad utilization beyond retina. This initiative targets more than 2.5 million anesthesia relevant procedures that already benefit from established reimbursement pathways, reducing access friction. Turning to TRIESENCE, we delivered a record quarter driven by accelerating momentum in ocular inflammation and continued strength in retina. Despite formally launching in market on October 1, we saw a good portion of the Q4 unit volume come from ocular surgery accounts. We expect this large market will drive the majority of new volume going forward. Nearly half of the fourth quarter ordering accounts were new and helped drive quarter-over-quarter growth in unit volume. To extend this trajectory, we are in the process of doubling the dedicated TRIESENCE sales force. Based on current trends, we see substantial runway for continued growth in 2026 and beyond. Finally, our rare specialty and compounded portfolio performance rebounded in the fourth quarter as new commercial leadership took hold and execution improved. While we are encouraged by that momentum, I believe there is substantial room to grow this portfolio of everyday workforce products from current share levels. We are implementing several revenue generating initiatives tied to these assets, which we expect to detail later this year. In parallel, as Mark discussed in his letter, we are focused on converting compounded utilization into FDA-approved branded products through the launch of PharmaPack Max and PharmaPack Prime, further strengthening the long-term revenue profile of this segment. In closing, each of our core growth drivers accelerated in the fourth quarter, and we entered 2026 with clear commercial momentum. We are scaling the organization to support the trajectory, doubling the sales forces behind VEVYE and TRIESENCE, expanding IHEEZO into the office-based setting, and preparing for important launches this year. With strengthened infrastructure, expanding access, and a diversified ophthalmic portfolio, we believe we are well positioned to drive sustained growth and delivering increased value to patients and shareholders. With that, I will turn it over to Amir.
Thanks, Pat. I would like to turn to our pipeline, which we believe represents a compelling long-term value driver for Harrow Health, Inc. The next phase of growth is highly focused and capital efficient. We are advancing clinically relevant programs aligned with clear unmet needs in ophthalmology and tightly integrated with our commercial infrastructure and regulatory expertise. While there are several programs on this slide and more that you do not know about yet, I am only going to focus today on G-MELT, formerly known as MELT-300, and the ongoing IHEEZO study. G-MELT exemplifies our strategy. It is a fully opioid-free and IV-sparing procedural sedation candidate that has the potential to redefine that standard of care, and I believe has the potential to become our largest product. Today, procedural sedation often requires IV access and uses opioid-based regimens, introducing complexity, staffing burden, monitoring requirements, and longer recovery times. G-MELT has the potential to simplify that model. From a development perspective, we initiated the remaining pharmacokinetic work earlier this year and are advancing CMC activities with our CDMO partner. We remain on track for an NDA submission in early 2027 while continuing to evaluate opportunities to accelerate timelines. We view G-MELT as platform-level upside, a differentiated sedation solution with the potential to broadly improve procedural efficiency and create meaningful long-term value. In the ophthalmic market and eventually beyond. Pipeline value also comes from expanding the evidence base for marketed products, including IHEEZO. I am amazed that our team has been so successful with IHEEZO on retina, given its supporting data was in cataract surgery. I know from my experience developing back of the eye products that retina professionals who are the primary users of IHEEZO want to see specific data based on procedures they need IHEEZO for, namely intravitreal injections. We are investing in clinical data generation to support adoption strength and differentiation and reinforce long-term positioning with both clinicians and payers. While this slide highlights IHEEZO, similar work is underway across the portfolio. High quality evidence builds clinical confidence, drives utilization, and supports sustained reinvestment in the franchise. For IHEEZO, we are sponsoring multiple complementary studies in intravitreal injection procedures. The first and most near-term data is an investigator-initiated randomized trial led by Dr. Sabin Dang comparing IHEEZO to standard anesthetic approaches, evaluating pain and ocular symptoms with data expected at ASRS this year in July. You can see the quote he provided us with on the bottom left of the slide. For our own Harrow Health, Inc.-sponsored IHEEZO study, my team has put together a Phase 4 multicenter randomized trial assessing patient-reported pain and safety across approximately 240 patients. We initiated the study in the first quarter of 2026 under the IND and expect to have data available by the end of 2026. Together, these studies are designed to generate clinically meaningful practice-relevant evidence that supports further and more broad-based adoption, reinforcing IHEEZO as a durable long-term growth driver. In summary, Harrow Health, Inc.’s pipeline is focused, efficient, and impactful. It complements our commercial momentum, expands our addressable markets, and creates multiple pathways for long-term value creation. We are building not just individual products, but a sustainable innovation engine that positions Harrow Health, Inc. for continued growth. With that, I will turn it over for questions.
Thank you. We will now open for questions. If you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 1. If your question has been answered and you would like to remove yourself from the queue, please press star 1 1 again. Our first question comes from Chase Richard Knickerbocker with Craig-Hallum. Your line is open.
Good morning, team. Appreciate the candid thoughts in the shareholder letter and thanks for taking the questions here. Mark, you kind of mentioned in the letter that you expect, you know, kind of continued commercial growth and commercial mix improvement for VVI kind of through the year. What have you seen so far from a commercial mix perspective in Q1? Can you walk us through what your ASP assumptions or direction of ASP for VVI is in the 2026 guide kind of versus volume? Thanks.
Yeah. Regarding ASP, I think I will answer the second question first. On ASP and net pricing, you know, the only comment that we have made and that we intend to make is regarding the buoyancy and the slight uptick in ASP, which I had forecasted probably a quarter or two late. Nevertheless, as I said in the letter to stockholders, we saw that direction of travel and we eventually got there. With a more sustainable and buoyant net pricing for VVI, that coupled with some of the things that we are seeing on the commercial side with this new coverage, we have initiated this program to more than double the VVI sales force. In terms of the build and what we are seeing on the ground today for VEVYE, as I said also in the letter to stockholders, even in the fourth quarter, we started to see a little bit of momentum build. I think I have said in the past that CVS had actually sent out letters to thousands and thousands of eyecare professionals around the United States alerting them to the new positioning, the preferred positioning for VEVYE on their formulary. That alone, I think began the positive momentum that we are also seeing a little bit in the first quarter. What I can say regarding the first quarter is that typically it is a weaker period and we are quite surprised with, you know, the new prescription volumes that we are seeing today relative to what we thought we would see, which is to say that the new prescription volumes are meaningfully better than what we thought we would be receiving at this point in the year. We expect that to build throughout the year. As I said in my prepared remarks, we have data that demonstrates very clearly that more reps in the field for this particular product, given the persistence of the product and the market interest in the product, yields more prescriptions. For us, building those new prescriptions, ultimately leads to more and more total prescriptions and more revenue. We are bent towards building volume in VEVYE, and that is how we are set up for this year, and that is what you should expect.
Helpful, Mark. Just for my second question, another multipart just on the TRIESENCE Phase 3 cataract announced this morning. You know, obviously a large potential volume opportunity. Just a couple of questions to help us understand the magnitude. What % of the cataract market do you think is kind of the sweet spot for TRIESENCE as it relates to kind of the value prop versus the multi-drop regimens that are pretty pervasive today? How should investors kind of think about the TAM expansion from this label expansion kind of within cataract for TRIESENCE? Second, I think investors often have kind of question on duration of opportunity with pass-through products in the ASC. Can you just remind us or discuss the unique aspects of TRIESENCE that may allow for longer, term payment outside the bundle or how you plan to approach pricing there?
Sure. you know, once again, I will take the second question, the second part first. In terms of reimbursement for the product, TRIESENCE has a very unique label in that it is both used in the office setting of care, and it is also used in the hospital and outpatient department setting of care. As a result of that, and I do not want to go into the nuances of reimbursement policy, but we believe that TRIESENCE will not be limited by a TPT or a temporary pass-through period. Regarding the first part of the question, in terms of what the TAM expansion might be for this study that, you know, Amir just received clearance on, I believe, yesterday. I go back to, I think, another comment that I made in my prepared remarks, and that is that our vision for cataract surgery is that in the future, patients in the United States should have an IV-free, opioid-free, and even an eye drop-free procedure. That is what I would want my mother to have. That is what I would want anyone that I love to have. Not to have to put eye drops in their eye multiple times per day, multiple different eye drop bottles. That is assuming you are using an FDA-approved product, of course. That should be the ideal, and that is what we are working towards. That is what the G-MELT is about, and that is what this expansion with TRIESENCE is about. It is about putting power in the hands of the surgeon to deliver the anti-inflammatory into the eye so that the patient does not need to administer these post-surgical eye drops. What is interesting is, anecdotally, what we see is that for patients who are using this on label, which is a subsegment of the cataract surgery population, it is those patients who really cannot administer eye drops, who have other comorbidities. What we decided to do, because those patients are having such exceptional results, is to invest in expanding the label so that all cataract surgery patients have access to this therapy. What is terrific is, as I said, we have got reimbursement. We have an exceptional clinical outcome. With this amazing study that Amir and his team are going to execute, we are going to have a very broad-based label that will finally give cataract surgeons access to an easy-to-administer, highly efficacious post-cataract surgery anti-inflammatory that they themselves can inject. Here is the best thing for consumers, for patients: It has the lowest out-of-pocket of any injectable steroid at around $37 per unit. It is affordable, it is accessible, it is highly efficacious, and we are going to invest for a very small amount of money in a study that will significantly expand the number of patients who will have access to it. In the United States, by the time this data reads out, that should be about 5 million procedures annually. It is a very large market opportunity. As I have said for a couple of years, you know, TRIESENCE is a slow grower. We have got a lot to prove there for sure, but this is a product that in the next couple of years is gonna be a meaningful value driver for our stockholders.
Very helpful, Mark. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Timur Ivannikov with Cantor Fitzgerald. Your line is open.
Yes. Hi, thank you. This is Timur Ivannikov on for Steven Seedhouse. First on IHEEZO, I think you mentioned price improvements in the second half of 2026. Could you clarify, is that a price improvement from Q2 2026 or from Q4 2025? Do you expect Q2 2026 ASP to be significantly lower? Thank you.
Andrew, you wanna take that?
Yeah. I just to try to make sure I answer the question correctly. We expect by the time we get to Q3 of 2026, pricing for IHEEZO will be better than what it was in 2025 and in the first part of 2026.
Okay. Okay, got it. Second question is on the TRIESENCE cataract trial design. I just wanted to understand the trial a little better. I think you mentioned the trial design versus placebo. Could you talk about the use of anti-inflammatory eye droplets in both groups? I mean, are you allowed to, you know, dose the droplets in the treatment arm and the control arm? Thank you.
Amir, can you handle that one?
Yeah. Hi. I think the protocol design is pretty clear. We are gonna have a control arm which will not get the TRIESENCE. What we do have rescue criteria already built in. Rescue criteria would allow drops again, per protocol.
Okay. Thank you. Appreciate that.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Mayank Mamtani with B. Riley Securities. Your line is open.
Yes. Good morning, team. Thanks for taking the questions and appreciate the helpful go forward guidance framework. On VEVYE, NRX improving and the commercial mix also improving. Mark, are you able to share with us any end of year or second half loaded kind of market share targets that you may have so, you know, we can understand, you know, the growth in the market? Obviously, you know, multiple companies investing here on the penetration side, but also want to understand how you are thinking about share gains in both the cash pay and also obviously the commercial mix markets. I have a follow-up on IHEEZO.
Sure. Yeah. We have three goals for VEVYE. First of all, I just want to say that the dry eye market in the U.S. is, Pat said, a very large market. We believe it still continues to be under-penetrated, and we continue to see data that demonstrates that there are large segments of the dry eye patient population that are receiving products on a monthly basis that burn and sting, cause pain, sneeze. I mean, the list of these effects are too long. When we see that patients are getting access to these non-optimal therapies, for whatever reason, whether it is coverage or, they are just not aware of VEVYE, we see that as opportunity, to convert those patients to a therapy that does not burn and sting and that has all of the positive benefits that VEVYE offers, including now these enhanced coverage metrics. In terms of what our goals are, to be clear, the first goal is we believe VEVYE will be the number one cyclosporine in the U.S. market. Cyclosporine is the most trusted active ingredient in, the dry eye market, and we aim to be the number one cyclosporine. Second to that, we believe we can capture, the anti-inflammatory market, so any product that actually has an active ingredient in it that would be an anti-inflammatory. We believe all forms of dry eye disease, you know, we do not care which one you choose, have an inflammatory component to them. We aim to be secondarily the number one anti-inflammatory. Eventually, and it is not gonna happen overnight, we think we have the opportunity with this particular product to be the number one most prescribed dry eye product. For the last couple of years, our competition has had a sales organization, you know, that even the most inferior products in the market have had much larger sales organizations than we have had. We are now, as I said, more than doubling our sales force. I think we are more than halfway there. I am actually surprised. The talent team is doing a great job. There is just a lot of people that wanna join this Maria's team, sell VEVYE. In terms of specific market share percentages, we are not giving those goals. I think to be the number one cyclosporine in the market, we probably need to have just north of 20% market share. That gives you a sense of what we think is achievable. By the way, in many markets we are already there. The problem is that we touched historically so few markets with a sales organization of just under 50 people, that even if you have better than 20% market share in the greater Cincinnati area, which happens to be the case, you... There are many other markets where you just simply do not have that level of market share. With this enhanced sales force now, numbering close to about 100, we will touch more markets. We will increase our market share, I believe, and we will get closer and closer to that goal of being the number one cyclosporine. Pat, do you want to add to that at all?
Thanks, Mark. I think, you know, one of the things we are most optimistic about, as we stated in our earnings, is the increase in writing that we see. We saw 115% growth in our writing. I think as Mark mentioned, the feedback that we receive from our eye care professionals and from their patients is extremely positive around the fact that VEVYE uniquely manages inflammation, how rapid it works, and at the same time, is the unique tolerability profile. We are extremely encouraged in our next phase of expansion to cover a much larger portion of the market and increase VEVYE's presence to really grow this product to be the number one cyclosporine. Mark, we are well on our way to building our next phase of growth for VEVYE.
On IHEEZO, obviously a lot going on here. ASC pass-through status expiration, but also price per unit improvement that you mentioned. There is also some data generation activity you noted at ASRS conference middle of the year. Was just curious, you know, to contextualize its contribution to the guidance. Are you also thinking like VEVYE, this is a 9-digit revenue contributor for this year, or is it more a reasonable target for next year?
Yeah, I do not wanna comment on the revenues for that product. I think the only product we have given guidance on specifically is VEVYE, which is clearly, you know, on the road to nine figures. What I will tell you is this. Just as a reminder, in 2024, we had absolutely zero retina presence. We did not have a retina sales force. We did not have any products in that market. Only a couple of years ago did we hire that sales organization. In really August of 2024, we began what we call the Retina Pivot, where we were able to attract great people from much larger companies that had tremendous backgrounds in retina, and we built this organization. I remember going to ASRS in Stockholm. Nobody knew who Harrow Health, Inc. was. We had no presence in that market. It is a very tight community, the retina community. What I can tell you is over the last year and a half, two years or so, I think if you go to retina professionals now and ask them if they know who Harrow Health, Inc. is, they really know who Harrow Health, Inc. is. I have to say another thing about IHEEZO specifically, because it is amazing what Ali and her team have done. Taking a product where the clinical studies supporting the NDA were in cataract surgery, and they have been able to adapt that data to the intravitreal injection market now with more than 70% of the unit volume for IHEEZO in the retina market. What is really exciting is what Amir talked about with the DANG study. What Ali has wanted for well over a year, we have had numerous conversations, is specific data related to the performance of IHEEZO in the intravitreal injection procedure. We had all this anecdotal information, you know, doctors would tell us how it performed. You know, some doctors had other benefits that they experienced from the product, including efficiency in their workflow. What I think you are gonna see in the middle of the year, finally, for Ali and her team, is a data set that will demonstrate the real difference between IHEEZO and these legacy modes of providing these patients with anesthesia for these intravitreal injections. I have to tell you, if you are a patient getting these injections, the anesthesia and pain control really matters. We think we have a product, at least anecdotally, we have received tremendous information from accounts that use this product about its performance. In the middle of the year at ASRS, and he got a late breaker, by the way. I mean, it is not easy to get these. You know, he is going to present this data, and I think that is going to fuel significant demand in the retina market for this product. In terms of how IHEEZO fits into our overall guide this year and certainly in 2027, depending on how this data comes out, this is an opportunity, I think, to significantly improve the unit volume demand for IHEEZO. As Andrew said, that coupled with this new packaging format that is specifically for retina and a meaningfully improved price, you know, I think that by the end of next year, you know, you are gonna hopefully be surprised at what we think we can generate from this particular product.
Thank you, Mark. Lastly, very quickly, the OpEx expansion, you know, you are seeing your R&D was higher in fourth quarter. Is it sort of a first half loaded kind of dynamic? Is it a steady state OpEx spend, Andrew, you are trying to get at some point this year? Thanks for taking my question.
Thank you, Mike. Andrew, do you wanna tackle the OpEx?
Yeah, absolutely. Thanks, Mike. I want to be sure to note in Q4, in the P&L, there is an $8.5 million charge for acquired and processed R&D, which was associated with the Melt acquisition. Those are upfront costs and some of the transaction costs associated with the deal. None of that acquisition cost was capitalized. It all ran through the P&L and ran through R&D according to GAAP rules. We also did not back it out or add it back in, I should say, to the EBITDA number for 2024. Kind of looking forward.
The adjusted.
The adjusted EBITDA, pardon.
Go ahead.
The-
Yeah.
Looking forward at the OpEx spend, Mike, I am gonna kind of break it into two parts. You have got the SG&A side, which we are adding that sales heads right now. We have been adding them aggressively in Q1. We will continue to add them in Q2. We have also been preparing. We are preparing from a marketing and promotion standpoint, which is also increasing that spend. We are kinda trying to get ahead of a lot of that as well, so that when these people get hired and trained, they are hitting the ground running with VEVYE. TRIESENCE for that matter. From an R&D perspective, a lot of that cost, as you know, is going to be trial dependent. We sort of have a base year of R&D spend year-over-year. As we put out this announcement this morning regarding the TRIESENCE IND being accepted and that study picking up, those costs will kind of show up in the middle part of the year, so Q2, Q3. We will have a little bit of a ramp in the middle part of the year, and then it should come down a little bit on the R&D side in Q4, as you sort of wrap up those studies along with some of the Melt studies.
Got it. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Lachlan Hanbury-Brown with William Blair. Your line is open.
Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. I guess first, would appreciate maybe a little more color on how you are thinking about the IHEEZO dynamics in 2026. You said you think the in-office procedure expansion beyond retina can offset the ASC loss. Is that sort of specifically talking about Q2, or is that more of a longer term, you think, you know, looking a year or so out, it will have more than offset that? I guess should we expect maybe a drop in Q2 in unit demand?
I do not wanna be specific about demand in any particular quarter other than to say that in Q4, Q1, Q2, Q3, I think I have said this, we expect demand to continue to increase. Demand continues to increase. That is separate from revenue recognition, but demand for the product does continue to increase. In terms of when we are likely to see the offset from the loss of the ASC units. When I looked at the ASC units specifically, the number of units that we are losing relative to the overall opportunity that we are adding when we add these in-office opportunities with this 2.5 million unit increase to our TAM, it is such a small level of success. We have a discrete team going into the same customers that are using it in the ASC that do not know that they can use it also in their clinics. You know, remember, every one of the doctors that is using it in the ASC is a surgeon. They also only spend a day or two a week in the surgical operating room. The rest of the week, they spend in their office doing procedures. It is a simple idea. We are going to the same customers that are using the product satisfactorily in the ASC. We are saying, "Hey, you are doing more procedures in your office than you are doing in the, in the surgical suite." It is not for every procedure, but for those procedures where this can be impactful, we are going to the same customers and trying to convert their in-office business. It is such a small number of units, as I said, that we do not have to really be that successful to fully offset the entirety of what we are losing when we lose the temporary pass-through code. Is that gonna happen in the first quarter or the second quarter? No. I doubt it. It should happen throughout the year. As I said, it is such a small number of units relative to what the overall opportunity is that we can fail and fail and fail again and still end up eating up all of those lost units from the ASC.
Okay. Thanks for that. It is good to call it. I guess second question is just on VEVYE and the new coverage. Just wondering what you are seeing in terms of the patients that are sort of getting scripts filled under that coverage. Are they new to brand patients, or is there a sizable chunk of them who were, you know, previously paying cash pay or maybe you previously managed to get coverage for them who are now just converting to be, you know, sort of covered more easily?
Yeah. I cannot say specifically with numbers, you know, what % or what number of patients are converting. You know, I can sort of echo what we have said in the past and that, you know, in 2025, there were a lot of patients who we received prescriptions for, but, you know, legal prescriptions, but who were denied access to the product for one reason or another, who chose not to get their prescription filled. We are going out to those patients. Now, those patients still have legal prescriptions, and we can contact them and make them aware of the existence of coverage and try to capture as many of those as possible. At the same time, there are patients who are paying cash, as you said, so these consignment patients who do have coverage now but formerly did not, and we can go to them. We know exactly who those folks are as well and convert them. This is a sizable number of people and, you know, you are talking about, you know, well north of $30 million new covered lives where you have, you know, the best access for VEVYE now. We have to see how things play out. I think based on what we are seeing in the first quarter, we thought we would not be where we are. We are in a better place than where we thought we would be in terms of new prescriptions. The new to brand side of things I think is going to come once we get these new bodies out, these new sales reps. You will have more and more of that new to brand. I can, I do not want to steal Pat's thunder, but Pat, do you wanna actually talk about the whole new to brand? I know that is really been a focus of yours.
Thanks, Mark. I think, you know, the core to our next phase of growth for VEVYE is really around, you know, driving new growth for VEVYE. We know better is possible when it comes to managing dry eye disease, as Mark mentioned. Our main focus going forward is ultimately to, you know, win the new-to-brand patients. I think, you know, that is gonna be a heavy focus for us. Obviously, beginning of this year in our conversion from CVS, we are really in our expansion and leading up to our expansion, heavily focused on the right patient and working with our physicians and our communication approach to make sure that we are targeting these patients. Because what we do know is those that are having either coming in, that are having dry eye disease symptoms or are having unresolved or persistent symptoms on other suboptimal treatments, VEVYE is the perfect treatment for that. Our goal moving forward is to make sure that we have the right presence with our customers and ultimately target the right patients going forward. Mark, to your point, new-to-brand for us is a huge focus and will really start to come to life for us as we go to our next phase of expansion.
Great. Thanks.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Thomas Eugene Shrader with BTIG. Your line is open.
Good morning. Thanks for all the updates. This fascinating time. On the VEVYE sales force, after your increase, where does that put you relative to competitors like Miebo? Would you be on an equal playing field? Just a remedial question on the melt franchise, are you still wedded to two products? It seems like the first product is the bigger product, it is the combination. Does your compounding business inform you that there really is a need for two products? Thank you.
Yeah. You know, I will take the first question. In terms of the VEVYE sales force, You know, we do not know exactly how many reps, you know, these competitors have out in the field. You know, we have heard that, you know, one of our competitors that has, you know, a pretty sizable market share has upwards of 300 people. We are gonna have around 100 ourselves. What I can tell you is that our reps are so powerful that one Harrow Health, Inc. rep with VEVYE is equal to 4 of theirs. I am kidding. We really do have a terrific sales organization that is well trained, and they have an outstanding product to sell. This is the second phase of our expansion. This, you know, we had the initial hiring for this product. This is the second phase, taking us up to around 100 territories or so. There very likely could be a slight increase in the number of territories as we see this investment pay off. You know, we are excited to have these, this sales force more than doubling here in the near term. I am also pleased with the quality of people we have been able to attract, and those that we have, you know, continued to retain who are on Maria's team. In terms of melt and the need for both products, the MKO Melt, which is a compounded formulation that we have sold for a number of years, has really informed the entirety of the development program. One of the nice things about the G-MELT when it is approved is that we are gonna discontinue the compounded version of the product, and we will hopefully convert all of that business into, you know, an FDA-approved and hopefully reimbursable product. It is very hard, as I have said over the years, to sell compounded medications. They are not FDA-approved. They do not have a label, particularly in anesthesia and sedation, where an anesthesia professional is, you know, gonna think twice or three times about whether or not they are gonna use a compounded formulation. When we have an on-label FDA-approved product that is also hopefully reimbursed, this should significantly expand the market opportunity for the G-MELT in cataract surgery, but also for other procedures where, you know, and a sublingual non-opioid sedation choice can prevail. In terms of why we need also the 210 program, the 210 program addresses a different market segment. Believe it or not, in terms of the total number of units of opportunity for it, based on the expected label, and we still need to discuss that, you know, with the FDA and come to a resolution around what ultimately a label might look like for what is now called YOCHIL. That product, in terms of unit demand, is bigger in unit volume demand, we believe, than even the G-MELT. The G-MELT will be used certainly in cataract surgery, which is what we are studying it for. We also believe it will be used, as the compounded product is used in ENT, and you know, for endoscopy. It is used in dermatology, plastics, dental, widely used in dental. It is used to deal with claustrophobia in MRI tubes. So that is the experience that we have with the MKO Melt, the compounded version. Our expectation is that the G-MELT, when it is approved, eventually will be used in markets outside of ophthalmology, which happen to be even bigger markets than the ophthalmic market. The answer is yes, we need two products. They serve different markets. One is specifically related to anxiety. It will also, as I said, be available. I said this, I think, in the letter to stockholders ultimately be available in a number of different strengths.
If I can sneak in one follow-up. The new TRIESENCE, I mean, it seems like it is much easier product to make and use. Do you think you might expand that outside the eye where that steroid is used, or is this entirely a formulation for the eye?
It is purely for the eye. You know, we started our company in 2014. Our first sale was with triamcinolone acetonide for injection. This is a product category and an active ingredient we know really, really well. You know, our compounded formulation, once again, the enthusiasm for TRIESENCE for us comes from our experience having sold Tri-Moxi in, you know, well over 1 million cataract surgery. It is a market we know well. It is just this product is just going to be for the eye. But we have real high hopes that we can once again create this protocol, which is IV-free, opioid-free, and even eye-drop-free eventually for cataract surgery patients, which is really where the market needs to go.
Great. Thanks for all the color.
Thanks, Tom.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Thomas Slayton with Lake Street Capital Markets. Your line is open.
Hey, good morning, guys. Appreciate you taking the question. Following up on VEVYE, with respect to the sales force expansion, can you talk a little bit about, and I think you alluded to this, Mark, that it is a lot of new territory, but new territory versus territory splitting because of overload, and then how you see the dynamics between the ophthalmology and optometry community playing into that growth, expectation?
I will take the second one first, then I will flip the first to Pat. You know, in terms of the sales force. Actually, pardon me. I do not. Your second sales force expansion and what else, Thomas?
The ophthalmology versus optometry component.
Yeah. Ophthalmology. Yeah. Ophthalmology and optometry, believe it or not, you know, the optometric market is a critical market. I would say that, you know, I would be slightly biased towards the optometric market. I think now, optometrists are writing as many or probably more prescriptions for dry eye medications than ophthalmologists. That is what the data that I am seeing shows. Pat, do you want to talk about the sales force expansion specifically?
Yeah. Thanks, Mark. I think when we think about the expansion, I mean, this is a real great opportunity for us to look at the great progress that VEVYE has done for dry eye disease patients to date. I think, you know, one of the first things we do is, you know, is look at this to your point, you were talking about like basically business interruption versus business continuity. It sounded like your question was around. I think we are taking a very methodical approach to make sure that we are, one, relooking at making sure that this approach going forward, it is sales force expansion, but it is about VEVYE's brand presence and promotional efficiency in front of our customers going forward. This is a very active category that is large, growing and active. For us, like to the prior question by one of your colleagues around, you know, playing in that dynamic part of the market where that new to brand is, it is gonna take not only having our current territories be very efficient, but also our expansions. We are being very, very thoughtful in how we are, one, putting our footprint together. I think the key takeaway here is VEVYE is poised for significant growth going forward, but it will be about how we, one, put a new VEVYE presence in front of our customers. That one is, you know, is really about differentiation, new to brand, and having the right presence that is commensurate with being a number one goal of being a number one cyclosporine and number one dry eye disease treatment. To your question, very thoughtful on how we will drive that business to maintain our aims and our growth going forward.
Got it.
Thomas, just as a practical matter, look, we need to get salespeople in these offices. They need to see their VEVYE reps more frequently, and that is what this is about. We know where the high value targets are. We know who is prescribing dry eye disease. We know who is looking for dry eye disease. This expansion is gonna allow more Harrow Health, Inc. VEVYE reps to get in those offices far more frequently. You know, our data demonstrates very clearly that when we do that, we end up with more prescriptions for VEVYE. I think you are gonna see that throughout the year.
Mark, to follow up on the last commentary on MELT being used or MKO being used a lot outside of ophthalmology indications, what can we expect with respect to deal making to get MELT, you know, appropriately exploited in those opportunities that are outside ophthalmology?
Well, right now we are completely focused on 2 things. One is Amir and his team building this data set. I have put a bounty on him getting that NDA in sooner than he even thinks he is able to get it in. I am hopeful that, you know, we can hopefully, you know, we can beat some of these timelines that we have laid out. It is all about getting the NDA in and getting the data in front of the FDA so that we can hopefully get this approved and then ultimately get it coded for reimbursement. The second thing is that the market, even in ophthalmology, you know, you are talking about 5 million use cases minimally per year, and that is just really cataract surgery. If you tack on glaucoma surgeries and other relevant procedures, you know, you can add another couple of million procedures. For a reimbursed non-opioid, non-IV sedation medicament, the opportunity in ophthalmology is very large. You know, it is billions of dollars per year where our competition is IVs and opioids. The data, there is a Duke study, there is a Mayo study, the data is clear. Patients today are getting dosed with fentanyl for sedation during cataract surgery in particular. We aim to change that. We have got to build our commercial strategy for the G-MELT, and that is underway, so that is the second component. Other than that, outside of the U.S. market in ophthalmology and getting the studies completed and filing the NDA, you know, something happens where there is a partnership that is revealed or an opportunity like that that is revealed, we will certainly pursue it. We have such a big revenue opportunity with the G-MELT in ophthalmology that we need to really stay focused on that, and that is what we are going to do.
Got it. Appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Jeffrey Scott Cohen with Ladenburg Thalmann & Company. Your line is open.
Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking our questions. I guess 2 from our end. Firstly, Mark or Andrew, could you comment any on margins and/or tariffs and ramifications throughout 2026 or any net changes that you are seeing now from 25?
Andrew, you want to tackle tariffs and margins?
Yeah. Hey, Jeff.
Hey.
Yeah, on the tariff side, we are not expecting much impact. I think the analysis we did last year was kinda almost in a worst-case scenario when we kind of relooked at things, and we are doing that on a continual basis. The analysis we did last year is still holding strong, and actually we are in better shape than we would have been last year in that worst-case scenario around Liberation Day. To answer your question more directly, we are not expecting to see any impact on margins as it relates to tariffs this year.
Got it. Secondly, any commentary on your midyear expected launch on BYOOVIZ as far as preparations and commercial organization and how that might look like midyear?
Andrew, you wanna touch on that at all? Anything you want to add there? I think we are ready to go. I think we start realizing revenue and the team's got a very unique strategy. Andrew, do you want to touch on that or Pat?
I can touch on a little bit and then hand it over to Pat. Jeff, we are really leveraging the existing retina team with that launch. There is some incremental costs that will go into that. We will have some variable costs as we get the hub up to help support the product. We are really excited to get that thing going. We have got a great partner in Samsung as well that is helping us, helping us as we prep. This is a very dynamic market. We are going to be getting in with BYOOVIZ right away in the middle of this year, which is a Lucentis-referenced biosimilar. Then, you may have recently seen that Samsung announced it is entered into a settlement with the innovator drug for EYLEA. We will be able to get into the market a little earlier than we expected with that product as well at the beginning of next year, which will be in January. From a spend perspective, like I said, we will leverage most of the existing sales force. There will be some small incremental costs there, and maybe some variable costs related to the hub activity for the products, but should be highly accretive to earnings on new revenues. Pat, do you want to add anything?
Thanks, Andrew. I think the one thing to add is, you know, as Mark mentioned, you know, we are really excited to get this going. You know, thinking about back to Mark's comments about the team that we have here, a very deep set of heritage in the retina space. I think to me, we will capitalize on that very quickly. I think in addition, when you think about our current portfolio, we made significant strides in growing our retina business, and this is going to, you know, help us significantly with our presence in growing the value of that franchise. We are actively right now preparing the market and targeting our business to take off here in the middle of this year. You know, we are super excited about BYOOVIZ going forward.
Terrific. Thanks for taking my questions.
Thanks, Jeff.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Yi Chen with H.C. Wainwright.
Thank you for taking my questions. Could you comment on your marketing strategy for the biosimilar, whether they will have a dedicated sales force and how you are going to present your biosimilar as a differentiated product from other biosimilar competitors? Thank you.
Yes. Thanks for the question, Yi. You know, as I think Andrew referenced and as Pat discussed, I think as you know, it is a highly dynamic market. It is competitive, we have a unique place in the market with our Lucentis referenced biosimilar. At this point, I really do not wanna reveal specifically how we are going to, you know, attain the market share that we expect to drive towards. What I have said in the past is that based on our cost in getting into the deal, the level of success that we need to achieve to make this highly profitable is quite low. We are not playing to get 30% market share with BYOOVIZ. We are playing to get a handful of percentage points of market share in this market, which is the largest market in ophthalmology by revenue. Our expectations are quite modest, and we believe that the strategy that we are going to employ, with the team that we have, which as Pat said, has a tremendous background in relationships, and this market is gonna be successful in helping us get to our goals. We do not have, you know, you know, we are trying to get about a handful of percentage points of market share, which is what we have said historically.
Thank you.
I can add a little bit too. You know, the one big advantage we have compared to everyone else in this market is we have other products that we are selling these doctors. It allows us to provide a really comprehensive offering. We can talk about the patient experience with our anesthetic. No one else has that anesthetic in the biosimilars. It is more than just the biosimilar products that we are gonna be selling. It is this comprehensive package of products where we totally support the practice and focusing on the patient experience.
Got it. Thank you. Thank you. I am showing no further questions. I would like to turn the call back over to Mark L. Baum, CEO, for closing remarks.
First, this is not in my script, I have to say that this call is the longest call I think we have ever had. It reminds me of our recent State of the Union. It set a record. We are gonna definitely work next time to try and make this call a little bit more efficient. We apologize for the time that this call took, but I think it was worthwhile. Hopefully, anyone who is listening feels a lot more knowledgeable about where this company is and where we are going over the coming quarters and years. Across the portfolio, we are seeing tangible momentum, improved access, expanding adoption, and growing commercial execution. We have got a great new commercial leadership team. Multiple products are scaling meaningfully. Key franchises are gaining depth, and we are seeing early signs of inflection where we have been patient and disciplined. The result is that you own a business with increasing revenue concentration that is in durable high-value assets, and that we have multiple pathways with other products for continued growth. I want to thank you for your continued confidence in Harrow Health, Inc. We are building something durable and lasting and valuable, and we believe the most exciting part of our story is still ahead. This will conclude our call. Thank you.
Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect. Everyone, have a great day.
