Glaukos Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Aliso Viejo, CA – August 3, 2022 – Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS), an ophthalmic medical technology and pharmaceutical company focused on novel therapies for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal disorders and retinal diseases, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. Key highlights include:

· Net sales of $72.7 million in Q2 2022.

· Glaucoma net sales of $56.1 million and Corneal Health net sales of $16.6 million in Q2 2022.

· Gross margin of approximately 75% and non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 83% in Q2 2022.

· Raised 2022 net sales guidance to $275 million to $280 million, compared to $270 million to $275 million previously.

“I’m pleased with our second quarter performance and solid execution of our strategies despite a challenging global 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.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Net sales in the second quarter of 2022 were $72.7 million, compared to $78.1 million in the same period in 2021.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2022 was approximately 75%, compared to approximately 77% in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 2022 was approximately 83%, compared to approximately 84% in the same period in 2021.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2022 increased 10% to $49.9 million, compared to $45.3 million in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2022 increased 12% to $49.0 million, compared to $43.6 million in the same period in 2021.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2022 increased 31% to $31.7 million, compared to $24.3 million in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2022 increased 31% to $31.7 million, compared to $24.1 million in the same period in 2021

In addition, during the second quarter of 2022, the company incurred a $10.0 million in-process R&D (IPR&D) charge associated with an upfront payment related to the execution of a licensing arrangement with iVeena Delivery Systems, Inc., compared to a $5.0 million IPR&D charge incurred in the second quarter of 2021 associated with an upfront payment related to the execution of an amended licensing arrangement with Intratus, Inc. These charges were included in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses, which is a change versus the company’s previous methodology where similar IPR&D transactions were excluded for non-GAAP disclosure and reporting purposes. This change is the result of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s most recent industry correspondence on this matter.

Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2022 was $36.8 million, compared to operating loss of $14.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP loss from operations in the second quarter of 2022 was $30.4 million, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. Included in the non-GAAP loss from operations figures are IPR&D charges of $10.0 million and $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2022 was $45.5 million, or ($0.96) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $17.5 million, or ($0.38) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2022 was $39.1 million, or ($0.83) per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $10.1 million, or ($0.22) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. Included in the non-GAAP net loss figures are IPR&D charges of $10.0 million and $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, which caused the non-GAAP loss per diluted share to have an additional loss of ($0.21) and ($0.11) in each of these respective periods.

The company ended the second quarter of 2022 with approximately $400 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash.

2022 Revenue Guidance

The company expects 2022 net sales to be in the range of $275 million to $280 million.

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.
