During 2022 and 2021, the company received two separate $30 million payments related to the company’s settlement of patent litigation with Ivantis, Inc. Both of these receipts are recorded as an offset to GAAP operating expenses in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS for 2022 is an in-process R&D (IPR&D) charge of $10.0 million associated with an upfront payment related to the execution of a licensing arrangement, which caused the non-GAAP loss per diluted share to have an additional loss of ($0.21) in 2022. Included in non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS for 2021 are IPR&D charges of $10.0 million associated with upfront payments related to various licensing arrangements, along with an R&D charge of $1.0 million associated with a milestone payment related to a licensing arrangement, which in total caused the non-GAAP loss per diluted share to have an additional loss of ($0.24) in 2021. These charges were previously excluded in the prior year reporting period from non-GAAP operating expenses and have been adjusted to account for a change in the company’s methodology to now include similar IPR&D and R&D transactions for non-GAAP disclosure and reporting purposes. The company ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with approximately $360 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. 2023 Revenue Guidance The company expects 2023 net sales to be in the range of $290 million to $295 million based on the latest foreign currency exchange rates.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP historical financial measures. Management makes adjustments to the GAAP measures for items (both charges and gains) that (a) do not reflect the core operational activities of the Company, (b) are commonly adjusted within the Company's industry to enhance comparability of the Company's financial results with those of its peer group, or (c) are inconsistent in amount or frequency between periods (albeit such items are monitored and controlled with equal diligence relative to core operations). The Company uses the term "Non-GAAP" to exclude external acquisition-related costs incurred to effect a business combination; amortization of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, asset purchase transaction or other contractual relationship; impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; certain in-process R&D charges; fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities and pre-acquisition contingencies arising from a business combination; integration and transition costs related to business combinations; fair market value adjustments to inventories acquired in a business combination or asset purchase transaction; restructuring charges, duplicative operating expenses, or asset write-offs (or reversals) associated with exiting or significantly downsizing a business; gain or loss from the sale of a business; gain or loss on the mark-to-market adjustment, impairment, or sale of long-term investments; mark-to-market adjustments on derivative instruments that hedge income or expense exposures in a future period; significant legal litigation costs and/or settlement expenses or proceeds legal and other associated expenses that are both unusual and significant related to governmental or internal inquiries; and significant discrete income and other tax adjustments related to transactions as well as changes in estimated acquisition-date tax effects associated with business combinations, and the impact from implementation of tax law changes and settlements. See “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure presented to the comparable GAAP financial measure. In addition, in order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company also presents certain net sales information on a constant currency basis, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as the average exchange rates in effect in the comparable prior period. See page 10 of this press release for a presentation of certain net sales information on a reported, GAAP and a constant currency basis.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results Net sales in 2022 of $282.9 million declined 4% on a reported basis, or 2% on a constant currency basis, compared to $294.0 million in 2021. Gross margin for 2022 was approximately 76%, compared to approximately 77% in 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin for 2022 was approximately 83%, compared to approximately 85% in 2021. SG&A expenses in 2022 increased 8% to $192.9 million, compared to $179.3 million in 2021. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses in 2022 increased 10% to $189.6 million, compared to $172.2 million in 2021. R&D expenses in 2022 rose 22% to $123.3 million, compared to $101.0 million in 2021. Non-GAAP R&D expenses in 2022 rose 23% to $123.1 million, compared to $100.4 million in 2021. Loss from operations in 2022 was $82.3 million, compared to operating loss of $32.9 million in 2021. Non-GAAP loss from operations in 2022 was $86.7 million, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of $32.8 million in 2021. Net loss in 2022 was $99.2 million, or ($2.09) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $49.6 million, or ($1.07) per diluted share, in 2021. Non-GAAP net loss in 2022 was $103.6 million, or ($2.18) per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $49.6 million, or ($1.07) per diluted share, in 2021. During 2022 and 2021, the company received two separate $30 million payments related to the company’s settlement of patent litigation with Ivantis, Inc. Both of these receipts are recorded as an offset to GAAP operating expenses in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS for 2022 is an in-process R&D (IPR&D) charge of $10.0 million associated with an upfront payment related to the execution of a licensing arrangement, which caused the non-GAAP loss per diluted share to have an additional loss of ($0.21) in 2022. Included in non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS for 2021 are IPR&D charges of $10.0 million associated with upfront payments related to various licensing arrangements, along with an R&D charge of $1.0 million associated with a milestone payment related to a licensing arrangement, which in total caused the non-GAAP loss per diluted share to have an additional loss of ($0.24) in 2021. These charges were previously excluded in the prior year reporting period from non-GAAP operating expenses and have been adjusted to account for a change in the company’s methodology to now include similar IPR&D and R&D transactions for non-GAAP disclosure and reporting purposes. The company ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with approximately $360 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. 2023 Revenue Guidance The company expects 2023 net sales to be in the range of $290 million to $295 million based on the latest foreign currency exchange rates.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP historical financial measures. Management makes adjustments to the GAAP measures for items (both charges and gains) that (a) do not reflect the core operational activities of the Company, (b) are commonly adjusted within the Company's industry to enhance comparability of the Company's financial results with those of its peer group, or (c) are inconsistent in amount or frequency between periods (albeit such items are monitored and controlled with equal diligence relative to core operations). The Company uses the term "Non-GAAP" to exclude external acquisition-related costs incurred to effect a business combination; amortization of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, asset purchase transaction or other contractual relationship; impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; certain in-process R&D charges; fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities and pre-acquisition contingencies arising from a business combination; integration and transition costs related to business combinations; fair market value adjustments to inventories acquired in a business combination or asset purchase transaction; restructuring charges, duplicative operating expenses, or asset write-offs (or reversals) associated with exiting or significantly downsizing a business; gain or loss from the sale of a business; gain or loss on the mark-to-market adjustment, impairment, or sale of long-term investments; mark-to-market adjustments on derivative instruments that hedge income or expense exposures in a future period; significant legal litigation costs and/or settlement expenses or proceeds legal and other associated expenses that are both unusual and significant related to governmental or internal inquiries; and significant discrete income and other tax adjustments related to transactions as well as changes in estimated acquisition-date tax effects associated with business combinations, and the impact from implementation of tax law changes and settlements. See “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure presented to the comparable GAAP financial measure. In addition, in order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company also presents certain net sales information on a constant currency basis, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as the average exchange rates in effect in the comparable prior period. See page 10 of this press release for a presentation of certain net sales information on a reported, GAAP and a constant currency basis.

During 2022 and 2021, the company received two separate $30 million payments related to the company’s settlement of patent litigation with Ivantis, Inc. Both of these receipts are recorded as an offset to GAAP operating expenses in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS for 2022 is an in-process R&D (IPR&D) charge of $10.0 million associated with an upfront payment related to the execution of a licensing arrangement, which caused the non-GAAP loss per diluted share to have an additional loss of ($0.21) in 2022.

These charges were previously excluded in the prior year reporting period from non-GAAP operating expenses and have been adjusted to account for a change in the company’s methodology to now include similar IPR&D and R&D transactions for non-GAAP disclosure and reporting purposes. The company ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with approximately $360 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. 2023 Revenue Guidance The company expects 2023 net sales to be in the range of $290 million to $295 million based on the latest foreign currency exchange rates.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP historical financial measures. Management makes adjustments to the GAAP measures for items (both charges and gains) that (a) do not reflect the core operational activities of the Company, (b) are commonly adjusted within the Company's industry to enhance comparability of the Company's financial results with those of its peer group, or (c) are inconsistent in amount or frequency between periods (albeit such items are monitored and controlled with equal diligence relative to core operations). The Company uses the term "Non-GAAP" to exclude external acquisition-related costs incurred to effect a business combination; amortization of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, asset purchase transaction or other contractual relationship; impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; certain in-process R&D charges; fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities and pre-acquisition contingencies arising from a business combination; integration and transition costs related to business combinations; fair market value adjustments to inventories acquired in a business combination or asset purchase transaction; restructuring charges, duplicative operating expenses, or asset write-offs (or reversals) associated with exiting or significantly downsizing a business; gain or loss from the sale of a business; gain or loss on the mark-to-market adjustment, impairment, or sale of long-term investments; mark-to-market adjustments on derivative instruments that hedge income or expense exposures in a future period; significant legal litigation costs and/or settlement expenses or proceeds legal and other associated expenses that are both unusual and significant related to governmental or internal inquiries; and significant discrete income and other tax adjustments related to transactions as well as changes in estimated acquisition-date tax effects associated with business combinations, and the impact from implementation of tax law changes and settlements. See “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure presented to the comparable GAAP financial measure. In addition, in order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company also presents certain net sales information on a constant currency basis, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as the average exchange rates in effect in the comparable prior period. See page 10 of this press release for a presentation of certain net sales information on a reported, GAAP and a constant currency basis.
