Overview
We
are a leading eyecare pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative ophthalmic
pharmaceutical products for the U.S. market. We help U.S. eyecare professionals preserve the gift of sight by making our
comprehensive portfolio of prescription and non-prescription pharmaceutical products accessible and affordable to millions of
Americans each year. We own commercial rights to one of the largest portfolios of branded ophthalmic pharmaceutical products in
North America, all of which are marketed under the Harrow name. We also own and operate ImprimisRx, one of the nation’s
leading ophthalmology-focused pharmaceutical-compounding businesses.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe the primary factors
affecting our performance are our ability to increase revenues of our branded pharmaceutical products, proprietary compounded formulations
and certain non-proprietary products, grow and gain operating efficiencies in our operations, avoid or mitigate any potential regulatory-related
restrictions, optimize pricing and obtain reimbursement options for our drug products, and continue to pursue development and commercialization
opportunities for certain of our ophthalmology and other assets that we have not yet made commercially available. We believe we have built
a tangible and intangible infrastructure that will allow us to scale revenues efficiently in the near and long-term. All of these activities
may require significant costs and other resources, which we may not have or be able to obtain from operations or other sources. See “Liquidity
and Capital Resources” below.

Recent Developments
The
following describes certain developments in 2025 to date that are important to understand our financial condition and results of operations.
See the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information
about each of these developments.
VEVYE Access for All
In March 2025, we announced
a patient access program called VEVYE Access for All. The program is designed to increase patient access to VEVYE at an out-of-pocket
cost of $59 or below and, in many cases, reduce the need for prior authorizations, step edits, and other treatment obstacles facing dry
eye patients and their prescribers.
Project Beagle
During the first quarter of
2025 we initiated a 360-degree review of opportunities to offer ImprimisRx customers a Harrow-owned FDA-approved product alternative to
a compounded formulation. We call this initiative Project Beagle. In that vein, we began implementing a continuity of care program to
transition approximately 25,000 ImprimisRx patients from our Klarity-C (0.1% cyclosporine) compounded formulation to VEVYE (0.1% cyclosporine),
and we expect to discontinue compounding Klarity-C by June 30, 2025. We are also discontinuing another related compounded formulation
called Klarity PF. Klarity PF is primarily purchased by a concentrated group of customers who we anticipate will accept our FRESHKOTE
product as an alternative. As we work through Project Beagle, we will continue to review opportunities to reduce the size of our compounded
formulary, improve and simplify our compounding capabilities, and transition other ImprimisRx customers from compounded formulations to
Harrow’s FDA-approved products.
Results of Operations
The following period-to-period
comparisons of our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results for
any future period.
Revenues
Our revenues include amounts
recorded from sales of proprietary compounded formulations, sales of branded products to wholesalers through a third-party logistics facility,
commissions from third parties and revenues received from royalty payments owed to us pursuant to out-license arrangements.

The
increase in revenues between periods was related to an increase in sales of our branded ophthalmology products. During the three months
ended March 31, 2025, revenues from branded products totaled $27,780,000, compared to $13,869,000 during the same period in the prior
year.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Our cost of sales includes
direct and indirect costs to manufacture formulations and sell products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, personnel costs,
packaging, storage, royalties, shipping and handling costs, manufacturing equipment and tenant improvements depreciation, the write-off
of obsolete inventory, amortization of acquired product NDAs, and other related expenses.

The increase in cost of
sales was primarily attributable to an increase in units sold during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior
year period and an increase in our fixed expenses. The decrease in Branded gross margin between the three months ended March 31,
2025 and 2024 was primarily attributable to an increase of our fixed expenses, in particular, acquired product NDA amortizations
related to the launch of TRIESENCE and a related contingent milestone payment that was capitalized in the fourth quarter of
2024.

The increase in ImprimisRx
costs of sales between the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was primarily attributable to an increase in units sold during the
three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. However, due to product mix during the three months ended March
31, 2025 that included more sales of lower gross margin products and sales discounts, ImprimisRx gross
margin decreased during the 2025 period compared to the prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative
expenses include personnel costs, including wages and stock-based compensation, corporate facility expenses, and investor relations, consulting,
insurance, filing, legal and accounting fees and expenses as well as costs associated with our marketing activities and sales of our proprietary
compounded formulations and other non-proprietary pharmacy products and formulations.

The increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses between periods was primarily attributable to an increase in certain seasonal expenses, such
as increased costs associated with our annual audit and a special project that totaled $3,629,000 during the three months ended March
31, 2025. In addition, the increase in SG&A expenses between periods was attributable to the addition of new employees in sales, marketing
and other departments to support current and expected growth, which when combined contributed to a $11,700,000 increase in SG&A between
the periods.
Research and Development Expenses
Our
research and development (“R&D”) expenses primarily include personnel costs, including wages and stock-based compensation,
expenses related to the development of intellectual property, investigator-initiated research and evaluations, formulation development,
acquired in-process R&D and other costs related to the clinical development of our assets.

The increase in R&D expenses
between periods was primarily attributable to increased activity related to our expanded branded product portfolio, product acquisitions,
product development efforts, product launches, and clinical and medical support.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net was
$6,548,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $5,415,000 for the same period in 2024. The increase during the period
ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily the result of an increase in the outstanding principal amount
of our debt obligations.
Investment Loss from Eton
During the three months
ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a loss of $(1,248,000), related to the change in fair market value of Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc’s common stock.
In April 2024, we sold all of our shares of Eton.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our cash on hand at March
31, 2025 was $66,726,000, compared to $47,247,000 at December 31, 2024.
As of the date of this Quarterly
Report, we believe that cash and cash equivalents of $66,726,000 at March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to sustain our planned level of
operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Management expects to refinance the Oaktree Loan (as defined in Note
10 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report) during 2025 and the 2026 Notes (as
defined in Note 10 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report) at the same time or
soon thereafter. Management believes it is probable that we will be able to refinance the Oaktree Loan and 2026 Notes; however, there
can be no assurance that we will obtain the refinancing on terms acceptable to us, or at all - see the subheading Sources of Capital below
for additional discussion regarding the Oaktree Loan, 2026 Notes and refinancing plans. In addition, we may consider the sale of certain
assets including, but not limited to, part of, or all of, our investment in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”) and any of
our consolidated subsidiaries. However, we may pursue acquisitions of products, drug candidates or other strategic transactions that involve
large expenditures or we may experience growth more rapidly or on a larger scale than we expect, any of which could result in the depletion
of capital resources more rapidly than anticipated and could require us to seek additional financing to support our operations.
29
We expect to use our current
cash position and funds generated from our operations and any financing to pursue our business plan, which includes developing and commercializing
drug candidates, compounded formulations and technologies, integrating and developing our operations, pursuing potential future strategic
transactions as opportunities arise, including potential acquisitions of additional drug products, drug candidates, and/or assets or technologies,
pharmacies, outsourcing facilities, drug company and manufacturers, and otherwise fund our operations. We may also use our resources to
conduct clinical trials or other studies in support of our formulations or any drug candidate for which we pursue FDA approval, to pursue
additional development programs or to explore other development opportunities.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by (used
in) operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $19,668,000 compared to $(4,628,000) during the same period
in the prior year. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities between the periods was mainly attributed to a decrease of
$39,196,000 in accounts receivable due to collections during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a decrease of $8,396,000
during the same period in 2024.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing
activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $(212,000) compared to $(110,000) during the same period in the prior year.
Cash used in investing activities in 2025 and 2024 was primarily related to equipment and software purchases.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used
in) financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $23,000 and $(809,000), respectively. Cash provided
by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was related to proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.
Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily related to payment of payroll taxes upon
vesting of RSUs in exchange for shares withheld from employees.
Sources of Capital
During the three months ended
March 31, 2025, our principal sources of cash came from proceeds from our operating activities. We expect future cash needs to be provided
by operating activities, but our forecasts may not be accurate, and our plans may change. We may also sell some of our assets, or all
of our ownership interests in Melt or our other subsidiaries.
In January 2026 the Oaktree
Loan matures and in April 2026, the 2026 Notes become due. As of March 31, 2025, there was $107,500,000 principal amount outstanding under
the Oaktree Loan and $75,000,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes were outstanding. The maturity of these debt obligations could raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently in discussions with our current senior secured lender,
Oaktree, and other potential lenders about refinancing the Oaktree Loan and the 2026 Notes. Management expects to engage in more definitive
discussions and negotiations with Oaktree and other potential lenders in the summer and fall of 2025. Management believes it is probable
that we will be able to refinance the Oaktree Loan and the 2026 Notes based on our collateral strength and expected cash flows from operations;
however, there can be no assurance that we will obtain the refinancing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We believe that one of the other alternatives available to us is the sale of one or more of our assets. There can be no assurance that
any sale could be completed on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to successfully
refinance the Oaktree Loan and the 2026 Notes, we do not expect to have the ability to repay the Oaktree Loan and the 2026 Notes in full.
30
We may acquire new products,
product candidates and/or businesses and, as a result, we may need significant additional capital to support our business plan and fund
our proposed business operations.
We may also seek additional financing from a variety of sources, including other equity or debt financings, funding from corporate partnerships
or licensing arrangements, sales of assets or any other financing transaction. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise
additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the newly issued equity or debt securities may have
more favorable terms or rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds
through collaboration or licensing arrangements or sales of assets, we may be required to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our
product candidates or proprietary technologies or formulations, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we raise funds
by incurring additional debt, we may be required to pay significant interest expenses and our leverage relative to our earnings or to
our equity capitalization may increase. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming they would be available, would increase our liabilities and
future cash commitments and may impose restrictions on our activities, such as the financial and operating covenants. Further, we may
incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing transactions, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting
fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain
securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial results.
We may be unable to obtain
financing when necessary as a result of, among other things, our performance, general economic conditions, conditions in the pharmaceuticals
and pharmacy industries, or our operating history. In addition, the fact that we have a limited history of profitability could further
impact the availability or cost to us of future financings. As a result, sufficient funds may not be available when needed from any source
or, if available, such funds may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise funds to satisfy our capital
needs when needed, then we may need to forego pursuit of potentially valuable development or acquisition opportunities, we may not be
able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our business plan, which would require us to modify our operations to reduce spending
to a sustainable level by, among other things, delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of our ongoing or planned investments
in corporate infrastructure, business development, sales and marketing and other activities, or we may be forced to discontinue our operations
entirely.
