Exhibit 99.1

LENSAR Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

First Quarter 2021 Procedure Volumes Increase 21.1% over First Quarter 2020

Cash and Cash Equivalents of $35.9 Million as of March 31, 2021

ORLANDO, Fla. (May 5, 2021) – LENSAR, Inc. (Nasdaq: LNSR) (“LENSAR” or “the Company”), a global medical technology company focused on advanced femtosecond laser surgical solutions for the treatment of cataracts, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 and provided an update on key strategic and operational initiatives.

“2021 is off to an encouraging start as we have continued to build on the positive trends seen in the second half of last year and achieved growth in both total revenues and procedures sold in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020,” said Nick Curtis, Chief Executive Officer of LENSAR. “While we still face challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially outside the U.S., we are seeing favorable signs toward a return of premium cataract procedures to pre-pandemic levels in the United States. In addition, we continue to make good progress on our next-generation system, ALLY™. Feedback from the ophthalmic community has been extremely enthusiastic. We look forward to showcasing ALLY at the ASCRS Annual Meeting, which is currently scheduled to take place in-person in July 2021.”

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $7.0 million, an increase of 19.3%, or $1.1 million, compared to total revenue of $5.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by sales of LENSAR Laser Systems and increased procedure licenses, particularly in the United States, where sales volumes exceeded pre-COVID levels.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $6.0 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 26.3%, compared to $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased personnel expenses, which was largely due to stock-based compensation expense.

Research and development expenses were $2.7 million and $1.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $1.2 million increase was primarily due to additional costs for the continued development of ALLY in anticipation of a 510(k) filing with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the first quarter of 2022, as well as increased personnel expenses.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $5.2 million, or ($0.56) per share, compared to net loss of $3.7 million, or ($3.44) per share, in the first quarter of 2020. Total stock-based compensation expense recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $2.3 million and $85,000, respectively.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) for the first quarter of 2021 was ($4.6) million, compared with ($2.3) million in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in EBITDA between the quarters was related to the above-mentioned increase in stock-based compensation expense. Excluding the effect of this non-cash item, Adjusted EBITDA was

---

($2.2) million in both the first quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2020. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures, and a reconciliation of these measures to net loss is set forth below in this press release.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $35.9 million as compared to $40.6 million at December 31, 2020. Cash utilized in the first quarter of 2021 was $4.7 million. Based on its cash position and operational forecasts, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to fund operations through the filing of its 510(k) application and expected launch of ALLY in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares and analyzes operating and financial data and non-GAAP measures to assess the performance of its business, make strategic and offering decisions and build its financial projections. The key non-GAAP measures it uses are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax expense, interest income, depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is specifically disclosed because the Company believes that EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of its business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of actual results on a comparable basis with historical results. Adjusted EBITDA is also a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, provides meaningful supplemental information for investors when evaluating its results and comparing it to peer companies as stock-based compensation expense is a significant non-cash charge due to the recapitalization of the Company. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in its underlying business from quarter to quarter. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance and, therefore, any non-GAAP measures it use may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to their most comparable GAAP financial measure are set forth below.
