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) (“Non-GAAP Purposes”). The Company uses the term "Non-GAAP" to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses to achieve the Non-GAAP Purposes, including 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; unusual non-recurring expenses associated with inventory write-downs; 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; expenses, acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs and gain or loss on debt extinguishment associated with the exchange or redemption of convertible senior notes; 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; and any other adjustment that is determined to be appropriate and consistent with the Non-GAAP Purposes. 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 “Reported Sales vs. Prior Periods” for a presentation of certain net sales information on a reported, GAAP and a constant currency basis.

OCTOBER 28, 2026
Revenue Performance & Commercial Overview
Global Consolidated Revenue Performance
Glaukos reported record third quarter net revenues of $211.0 million that were up 58% on a reported and constant currency basis, versus 3Q 2025. Our third quarter record results reflect a sustained growth acceleration in our business with the strong performance driven by growing iDose® TR adoption and utilization, along with our broader Interventional Glaucoma, or IG, initiatives globally, as well as growing contributions of Epioxa®.
Franchise Revenue Performance
3
OCTOBER 28, 2026
U.S. Glaucoma
Our record third quarter U.S. Glaucoma net revenues were approximately $118.6 million, representing year-over-year growth of 47% versus 3Q 2025 driven by growing contributions from iDose TR, which generated sales of approximately $76 million in the third quarter.
During the third quarter, we successfully advanced execution of our commercialization of iDose TR, a first-of-its-kind intracameral procedural pharmaceutical that was designed to continuously deliver glaucoma drug therapy for up to three years. Most importantly, iDose TR continues to deliver strong clinical outcomes that meaningfully improve patients’ lives, resulting in strong physician interest and adoption while helping to accelerate a broader treatment paradigm shift toward earlier, interventional glaucoma care.
International Glaucoma
Our third quarter International Glaucoma net revenues were approximately $33.4 million, representing year-over-year growth of 13% on a reported basis, or 15% on a constant currency basis, versus 3Q 2025. The strong growth internationally during the third quarter was broad-based as we continue to scale our international infrastructure and increasingly drive MIGS forward as the standard of care in each region and major market in the world.
We remain in the early stages of expanding our IG and product portfolio initiatives globally ahead of anticipated new product approvals and expanding market access in the years to come.
Corneal Health
Our record third quarter Corneal Health net revenues were approximately $59.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of 154% versus 3Q 2025, including Epioxa net sales of approximately $53 million.
During the third quarter, we advanced our initial commercial launch plans for Epioxa, our novel, groundbreaking advancement in corneal cross-linking for the treatment of keratoconus, a rare, sight-threatening disease that is currently far too often undiagnosed and untreated. We believe Epioxa represents a transformative innovation in keratoconus care, offering an incision-free alternative to traditional corneal cross-linking procedures as it does not require the removal of the corneal epithelium, the outermost layer of the front of the eye. This novel, oxygen-enriched topical therapeutic, bioactivated by UV light, is designed to reduce the pain associated with removal of the epithelium, streamline the procedure, and minimize recovery, all while delivering clinically meaningful outcomes and exceptional value to patients, providers, and the healthcare system.
As the first and only FDA-approved epithelium-on corneal cross-linking therapy for keratoconus, Epioxa has been met with strong interest from surgeons and the broader ophthalmic community, reinforcing our confidence in its potential to redefine the treatment paradigm for this rare, sight-threatening disease.
We will continue to focus on expanding access for keratoconus patients suffering from this rarely diagnosed disease.

Other Important Updates
➢
While we believe our business is increasingly well positioned to deliver sustained cash generation and profitability as we scale, we remind investors that our primary focus remains on maximizing near- and long-term revenue growth and capitalizing on the significant opportunities in front of us. Accordingly, we remain committed to investing strategically across our industry-leading pipeline, commercial infrastructure, and market development initiatives to advance our innovation platforms, expand our addressable markets, and drive sustained top-line growth. We will continue to manage the business thoughtfully, balancing these strategic investments with disciplined expense management, capital allocation, and a focus on operational efficiency. Ultimately, we believe this approach best positions us to bring transformative therapies to patients, strengthen our financial profile, and drive sustainable, substantial long-term growth and shareholder value.
➢
Given the ongoing conversations around tariff and broader geopolitical volatility, we wanted to reiterate that we manufacture and source our products primarily within the U.S., and as such, expect minimal direct exposure to the most recently implemented tariff-related policies. That said, the global tariff environment remains fluid, and more broadly, the current geopolitical backdrop and macroeconomic uncertainties continue to evolve. As such, we will continue to closely monitor these situations given the overall instability in the marketplace and global macroeconomic uncertainties.

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) (“Non-GAAP Purposes”). The Company uses the term "Non-GAAP" to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses to achieve the Non-GAAP purposes, including 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; unusual non-recurring expenses associated with inventory write-downs; 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; expenses, acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs and gain or loss on debt extinguishment with the exchange or redemption of convertible senior notes; 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; and any other adjustment that is determined to be appropriate and consistent with the Non-GAAP Purposes. See “Primary GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure presented to the comparable GAAP financial measure. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, we no longer exclude certain upfront and contingent milestone payments in connection with collaborative and licensing arrangements and certain in-process R&D charges for non-GAAP reporting and disclosure purposes.
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 “Additional GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a presentation of certain net sales information on a reported, GAAP and a constant currency basis.
