Insights

Financial Analyst

Harrow's Q2 2024 results show significant growth, with record revenues of $48.9 million, up 46% year-over-year and 42% quarter-over-quarter. This growth is impressive, driven by strong performance across all segments, particularly IHEEZO and VEVYE. However, the company still reported a GAAP net loss of $6.5 million, which is concerning.

The gross margin improved to 74%, up from 70% in Q2 2023, indicating better operational efficiency. The Adjusted EBITDA of $8.8 million is positive, but down from $11 million in the same quarter last year, suggesting increased expenses. With $71 million in cash, Harrow has a solid financial position to support growth initiatives.

While the revenue growth is encouraging, investors should monitor the path to profitability closely in coming quarters.

Medical Research Analyst

The standout performers in Harrow's Q2 results are IHEEZO and VEVYE. IHEEZO's customer unit demand volume increased by 98% from Q1 2024, indicating strong market acceptance. The 24 supply agreements, including one with the largest U.S. retina practice group, suggest potential for continued growth.

VEVYE's total prescriptions surged by 212% from Q1 2024, a remarkable increase that points to successful market penetration. The 40% growth in Anterior Segment revenues is also noteworthy.

The planned relaunch of TRIESENCE in 2024, with positive initial analytical test results, could provide another growth driver. However, successful execution of the third PPQ batch and regulatory approval will be critical. These product developments position Harrow well in the competitive eyecare pharmaceutical market.

Market Research Analyst

Harrow's Q2 performance indicates a strong market position in the eyecare pharmaceutical sector. The 98% increase in IHEEZO demand and 212% growth in VEVYE prescriptions suggest these products are gaining significant traction. The supply agreement with the largest U.S. retina practice group is a strategic win, potentially leading to increased market share.

The 40% growth in Anterior Segment revenues and record quarterly revenues from ImprimisRx subsidiary demonstrate diversified growth across Harrow's portfolio. This multi-product success reduces reliance on any single product and strengthens the company's market position.

However, investors should note the competitive nature of the pharmaceutical industry. Harrow's ability to maintain this growth trajectory and achieve profitability will depend on continued product adoption, successful new product launches and effective cost management.

Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Selected Highlights:

• Record revenues of $48.9 million
• GAAP net loss of $(6.5) million
• Adjusted EBITDA of $8.8 million
• Cash and cash equivalents of $71.0 million as of June 30, 2024
• IHEEZO® customer unit demand volume increased by 98% from the first quarter of 2024
• IHEEZO supply agreements total 24 agreements to date in 2024, including a recent win with the largest and highest volume U.S. retina practice group
• VEVYE® total prescriptions increased by 212% from the first quarter of 2024
• Anterior Segment revenues up over 40% from the first quarter of 2024
• Record quarterly revenues from Harrow’s ImprimisRx subsidiary

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which are presented and discussed above, management also utilizes Adjusted EBITDA and Core Results, unaudited financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the Company’s financial results and performance and to plan and forecast future periods. Adjusted EBITDA and Core Results are considered “non‑GAAP” financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting its business. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Core Results provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance because (i) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making; (ii) they exclude the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the Company’s core operating performance; and (iii) they are used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company’s results. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Core Results, and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non‑GAAP financial measures used by the Company and the way they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non‑GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the Company’s competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, excluding the effects of stock‑based compensation and expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, investment loss (income), net, and, if any and when specified, other non-recurring income or expense items. Management believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net loss. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit or net loss as a measure of operating performance or to net cash (used in) provided by operating, investing, or financing activities as a measure of ability to meet cash needs.

The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the same periods in 2023:

Core Results

Harrow Core Results, including core gross margin, core net loss, and core basic and diluted loss per share exclude (1) all amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets, excluding software development costs, (2) net gains and losses on investments and equity securities, including equity method gains and losses and equity valued at fair value through profit and loss (FVPL), and preferred stock dividends, and (3) gains/losses on forgiveness of debt. In other periods, Core Results may also exclude fair value adjustments of financial assets in the form of options to acquire a company carried at FVPL, obligations related to product recalls, certain acquisition‑related items, restructuring charges/releases and associated items, related legal items, gains/losses on early extinguishment of debt or debt modifications, impairments of property, plant and equipment and software, as well as income and expense items that management deems exceptional and that are or are expected to accumulate within the year to be over a $100,000 threshold.
