“Our solid third quarter performance reflects our teams’ ongoing commitment to advance our key strategic priorities and execute our plans while navigating a dynamic macro environment,” said Thomas Burns, Glaukos chairman and chief executive officer. “We are now in the midst of several exciting new product launches and continue to successfully invest in and advance our robust pipeline of novel, dropless platform technologies designed to meaningfully advance the standard of care and improve outcomes for patients suffering from chronic eye diseases.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Net sales in the third quarter of 2022 of $71.3 million declined 4.6% on a reported basis, or 1.6% on a constant currency basis, compared to $74.7 million in the same period in 2021.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 was approximately 76%, compared to approximately 79% in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 was approximately 84%, compared to approximately 87% in the same period in 2021.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2022 increased 6% to $47.1 million, compared to $44.5 million in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2022 increased 13% to $46.4 million, compared to $41.2 million in the same period in 2021.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $28.9 million, compared to $28.8 million in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2022 increased 1% to $28.9 million, compared to $28.7 million in the same period in 2021.

Loss from operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $21.6 million, compared to operating income of $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP loss from operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $15.3 million, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of $9.9 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Included in operating income, net income and earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter of 2021 is a $30 million payment receipt related to the company’s settlement of patent litigation with Ivantis, Inc., which was recorded as an offset to GAAP operating expenses.

Included in non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS for the third quarter of 2021 is an in-process R&D (IPR&D) charge of $5.0 million associated with an upfront payment related to the execution of a licensing arrangement with Attillaps Holdings, which caused the non-GAAP loss per diluted share to have an additional loss of ($0.10) in the prior year period.

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 9 of this press release for a presentation of certain net sales information on a reported, GAAP and a constant currency basis.

Revenue Performance & Commercial Overview

Global Consolidated Revenue Performance

Glaukos reported third quarter net revenues of $71.3 million that were down 4.6% versus the third quarter of 2021 on a reported basis or down 1.6% on a constant currency basis versus 3Q 2021. On a sequential basis, 3Q 2022 sales were down 1.9% on a reported basis, or down 0.7% on a constant currency basis, versus 2Q 2022. Our third quarter performance reflected continued execution across our global Glaucoma and Corneal Health franchises amidst U.S. combination-cataract glaucoma headwinds associated with the 2022 CMS Physician Fee reimbursement cut, foreign exchange headwinds internationally, sporadic commercial payor reimbursement challenges in our Corneal Health franchise, and COVID and staffing dynamics globally.

NOVEMBER 2, 2022

U.S. Glaucoma

Our third quarter U.S. Glaucoma net revenues were approximately $37.2 million, down 14% year-over-year and down 3% quarter-over-quarter reflecting a combination of macro-economic factors and the 2022 CMS final Physician Fee reimbursement cuts. Despite the impact of these dynamics, as expected, we’ve been very pleased with the execution of our commercial strategies and the resiliency of our combo-cataract iStent® franchise in the face of the reimbursement headwinds thus far in 2022.

We remain focused on innovating and expanding the sight-saving tools available to surgeons to improve overall care for ophthalmic patients and over the course of this year, we have successfully expanded our comprehensive, best-in-class product portfolio with the introduction of several novel ophthalmic technologies, including iAccess™, a novel instrument with features that allow customers to perform goniotomy procedures, and iPRIME™, an innovative new viscoelastic delivery device.

More recently, in the fourth quarter, we commenced initial U.S. commercial launch activities for iStent infinite®, our novel three-stent injectable system designed to provide foundational, 24/7 intraocular pressure (IOP) control for glaucoma patients uncontrolled by prior medical and surgical therapy. While this launch remains in its infancy, it represents a significant milestone for Glaukos and the MIGS market as the first-ever micro-invasive implantable device indicated for use as a standalone glaucoma treatment. We believe iStent infinite will spearhead our long-held mission to create a new Interventional Glaucoma marketplace that seeks an alternative treatment paradigm to advance patient care and to halt progression of this chronic sight threatening disease. We are bullish on iStent infinite’s long-term prospects but would caution conservatism as you think about near-term contributions as we navigate the ordinary course process of securing professional fee coverage and payment from the various MACs through the first half of 2023.

We acknowledge that we will continue to face near-term headwinds in combination-cataract glaucoma domestically based on the cuts in professional reimbursement for trabecular stents that remain substantially below more invasive alternatives, and as such, we will remain prudent as it relates to forward guidance but continue to feel confident in our ability to execute our strategy in the quarters ahead as we provide further access to recently launched products in the market.

International Glaucoma

Our third quarter International Glaucoma net revenues were approximately $16.5 million, representing year-over-year reported growth of 9%, or 24% on a constant currency basis, versus 3Q 2021. Growth internationally during the third quarter was broad-based, but somewhat offset by the significant and growing unfavorable foreign exchange headwinds. Early launch activities of the PRESERFLO® MicroShunt® in Australia and Canada continue to go well and our overall performance in key markets highlighted the strong quarter. We remain early in our penetration of the international opportunity and continue to make significant investments in our commercial sales and market access efforts in existing markets globally while selectively pursuing geographic expansion opportunistically.

Corneal Health

Our record third quarter Corneal Health net revenues were approximately $17.5 million, representing year-over-year growth of 8% versus 3Q 2021 and sequential growth of 5% versus 2Q 2022. The third quarter performance was driven by U.S. Photrexa® quarterly record sales of $14.4 million along with a

NOVEMBER 2, 2022

continued trend of healthy new U.S. Photrexa account starts, partially offset by sporadic reimbursement volatility. While it remains early, we’ve been pleased with initial signs of improvement following the investments we’ve been making to address these sporadic reimbursement issues.

Additional Commercial Updates & Commentary

We have had several additional positive commercial updates worth highlighting here:

Commenced commercial launch activities in the U.S. for iAccess late in the first quarter of 2022
Commenced initial commercial launch activities in the U.S. for iPRIME late in the second quarter of 2022

Commenced initial commercial launch activities in the U.S. for iStent infinite in the fourth quarter of 2022

Developed by Glaukos in partnership with ophthalmic surgeons, iAccess is a precision blade designed to cut trabecular meshwork tissue, thereby allowing aqueous to flow directly into Schlemm’s canal. Goniotomy with iAccess is designed to provide the surgeon versatility in surgical technique, allowing the surgeon to determine what is best suited for the patient, whether it be multiple small incisions spanning over several clock hours that preserve up to 95% more anatomy, or an extensive opening to Schlemm’s canal.

iPRIME is a novel, truly minimally-invasive viscoelastic delivery system that further supports the needs of physicians and patients by providing the delivery of viscoelastic during ophthalmic surgery. This technology further expands Glaukos’ broad portfolio of innovative ophthalmic solutions and is consistent with our longstanding position on the value of minimally-invasive therapies. We believe iPRIME will be another important tool that supports the needs of physicians and patients.

The iStent infinite is a three-stent device designed for use in a standalone procedure to reduce elevated IOP in glaucoma patients uncontrolled by prior medical and surgical therapy. It includes three heparin-coated titanium stents preloaded into an auto-injection system that allows the surgeon to inject stents across a span of up to approximately six clock hours around Schlemm’s canal, the eye’s primary drainage channel. Once in place, the stents are designed to lower IOP by restoring the natural, physiological outflow of aqueous humor. Supported by strong pivotal data highlighting favorable safety and effectiveness, we believe iStent infinite may provide ophthalmic surgeons with a compelling new treatment alternative in a standalone procedure for patients with open-angle glaucoma uncontrolled by prior medical and surgical therapy.

Glaukos Announces Positive Topline Outcomes for Both Phase 3 Pivotal Trials of iDose TR, Achieving Primary Efficacy Endpoints and Demonstrating Favorable Tolerability and Safety Profiles

On September 7, 2022, Glaukos announced topline data for both Phase 3 pivotal trials of iDose TR that successfully achieved its pre-specified primary efficacy endpoints through 3 months in both Phase 3 trials and demonstrated excellent tolerability and a favorable safety profile through 12 months.

Topline summary results and observations from the iDose TR Phase 3 pivotal trials are as follows:

●For each of the two Phase 3 iDose TR pivotal trials, GC-010 and GC-012, both the fast- and slow-release iDose TR arms achieved the pre-specified primary efficacy endpoint of non-inferiority to the active comparator arm (twice-daily topical timolol ophthalmic solution, 0.5%) through 3 months.

●For the GC-010 trial, the IOP reductions from baseline over the first 3 months were 6.6-8.5 mmHg in the slow-release iDose TR arm, versus 6.6-7.7 mmHg in the timolol control arm (mmHg range represents IOP reduction means across the six U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pre-specified timepoints of 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. at Day 10, Week 6 and Month 3). For the GC-012 trial, IOP reductions from baseline over the first 3 months were 6.7-8.4 mmHg in slow-release iDose TR arm, versus 6.8-7.2 mmHg in the timolol control arm.

●93% of slow-release iDose TR subjects remained well-controlled on the same or fewer IOP-lowering topical medications at 12 months compared to screening after a single administration of iDose TR, versus 67% of timolol control subjects in both Phase 3 trials. Additionally, 81% of slow-release iDose TR subjects were completely free of IOP-lowering topical medications at 12 months across both trials.

iDose TR demonstrated excellent tolerability with 98% of slow-release iDose TR subjects continuing in the trial at 12 months, versus 95% of timolol control subjects across both Phase 3 trials.

iDose TR demonstrated a favorable safety profile through 12 months, with no adverse events of corneal endothelial cell loss, no serious corneal adverse events and no adverse events of periorbital fat atrophy. Notably, conjunctival hyperemia occurred at a very low rate of 3% for slow-release iDose TR subjects. The most frequent adverse event for slow-release iDose TR subjects was mild transient iritis at a rate of 6% in both Phase 3 trials.

●In-office administration of iDose TR was successfully employed with various subjects across multiple sites with outcomes that were consistent with the Phase 3 trials, thus demonstrating the feasibility of iDose TR administration in the office setting.

Based on the combined efficacy and safety results from both Phase 3 pivotal trials, Glaukos plans to move forward with its plans for an NDA submission to the U.S. FDA for the slow-release iDose TR model, with an expected FDA review and decision completed by the end of 2023.

Epioxa (Epi-on) Development Status Update

Following our recent pre-NDA meeting with the FDA, the Agency has recommended that we run a second confirmatory pivotal study to support an NDA submission for Epioxa (Epi-on), our next-generation corneal cross-linking therapy for the treatment of keratoconus. The agency did confirm that the completed Phase 3 study, which met the pre-specified primary efficacy endpoint would support submission and be accepted for review of an NDA, in conjunction with this second study.

Our understanding is that the FDA’s request for a second study, which was unexpected to us, was driven by earlier-stage clinical studies associated with other companies’ unproven therapies that generated less than favorable efficacy data.

In response, we plan to commence patient enrollment for this second Phase 3 confirmatory study by early 2023 with targeted enrollment completion by the end of next year.

Despite this delay to our previous timelines for Epioxa, we believe we remain well-positioned with our first-generation corneal cross-linking therapy, Photrexa, or Epi-off™, which remains the only FDA-approved treatment shown to slow and halt the progression of keratoconus.

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 “Primary 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.
