Exhibit 99.1
Harrow Provides Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2024 Unaudited Preliminary Financial Results and 2025 Revenue Guidance
Company Expects to Provide Revised Dates for Release of Audited Financial Results, Conference Call, and Letter to Stockholders
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 17, 2025 – Harrow (Nasdaq: HROW), a leading North American eyecare pharmaceutical company, today announced unaudited preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, as well as revenue guidance for 2025. Although Harrow was initially scheduled to release its audited financial results today, the Company’s new independent auditor requires additional time to audit Harrow’s financial presentation. As a result, Harrow is delaying its earnings release, conference call and Annual Report on Form 10-K filing. The change in the date of the filing of the Form 10-K is not related to any disagreements on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
In conjunction with today’s announcement, Harrow is providing the following unaudited preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024:
For
the Three | For the Year Ended | |||||||
| Revenues | $65 - $67 million | $198 - $200 million | ||||||
| Net Income (Loss) | $5 - $7 million | $(17) - $(19) million | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) | $21 - $23 million | $39 - $41 million | ||||||
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding the effects of stock-based compensation and expenses, impairment of intangible assets, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, investment loss, 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 income (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 provided by (used in) 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 income (loss), for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024:
| For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| GAAP net income (loss) range | $5,000,000 - $7,000,000 | $(17,000,000) - $(19,000,000 | ) | |||||
| Stock-based compensation and expenses | 4,794,000 | 17,619,000 | ||||||
| Impairment of intangible assets | 253,000 | 253,000 | ||||||
| Interest expense, net | 6,375,000 | 22,786,000 | ||||||
| Income tax (benefit) expense | (514,000 | ) | 161,000 | |||||
| Depreciation | 468,000 | 1,850,000 | ||||||
| Amortization of intangible assets | 4,075,000 | 11,783,000 | ||||||
| Investment loss, net | - | 3,171,000 | ||||||
| Other expense, net | 261,000 | 185,000 | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA range | $20,712,000 - $22,712,000 | $38,808,000 - $40,808,000 | ||||||
These preliminary results remain subject to the completion of the financial closing procedures and the final review by Harrow’s independent auditors. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these preliminary results.

Commenting on the announcement, Mark L. Baum, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Harrow, stated, “We were certainly looking forward to reporting our record financial performance for the fourth quarter and full year and to sharing details on the quarter with our stockholders, including that, as promised, we successfully met the annual leverage ratio term under our senior secured loan agreement, thereby avoiding the issuance of warrants to our lenders. However, we respect our auditors’ request for additional time to complete the audit process, as we remain fully committed to comprehensive, accurate, and transparent financial reporting.
“In addition, and in line with Harrow’s historical approach to providing directional financial guidance, I want to provide 2025 revenue guidance of ‘over $280 million,’ noting that our higher-margin branded business is expected to drive most of our growth this year. I look forward to filing our Form 10-K, posting our Letter to Stockholders and corporate presentation, and, of course, discussing our results on a conference call, which we intend to schedule soon.”
