Revenue by segment was as follows:

Fourth-Quarter 2025

Full-Year 2025

Vision Care Segment

Vision Care segment revenue was $778 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $723 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $55 million, or 8%. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange impact of $21 million, segment revenue increased on a constant currency¹ basis by approximately 5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Vision Care segment revenue was $2.923 billion for the full year of 2025, as compared to $2.739 billion for the full year of 2024, an increase of $184 million, or 7%. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange impact of $33 million, segment revenue increased on a constant currency¹ basis by approximately 6% compared to the full year of 2024.

Performance in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the full year of 2025 was primarily driven by growth in the contact lens business and increased demand for LUMIFY, over-the-counter dry eye products and eye vitamins in the consumer business.

Surgical Segment

Surgical segment revenue was $249 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $231 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $18 million, or 8%. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange impact of $10 million, segment revenue increased on a constant currency¹ basis by approximately 3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Surgical segment revenue was $894 million for the full year of 2025, as compared to $843 million for the full year of 2024, an increase of $51 million, or 6%. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange impact of $17 million, segment revenue increased on a constant currency¹ basis by approximately 4% compared to the full year of 2024.

Performance in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the full year of 2025 was primarily driven by increased demand of consumables and implantables, largely attributable to the premium IOL portfolio, and increased equipment sales, partially offset by the voluntary recall of certain enVista IOL products.

Pharmaceuticals Segment

Pharmaceuticals segment revenue was $378 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $326 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $52 million, or 16%. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange impact of $6 million, segment revenue increased on a constant currency¹ basis by approximately 14% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Pharmaceuticals segment revenue was $1.284 billion for the full year of 2025, as compared to $1.209 billion for the full year of 2024, an increase of $75 million, or 6%. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange impact of $8 million, segment revenue increased on a constant currency¹ basis by approximately 6% compared to the full year of 2024.

Performance in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the full year of 2025 was primarily driven by increased sales of MIEBO and growth in International Pharmaceuticals, partially offset, in the case of full year 2025, by a decline in the U.S. Generics business.

Operating Results

Operating income was $112 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $87 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $25 million. The change was largely driven by the contribution of the revenue drivers noted above, partially offset by a one-time non-cash charge related to share-based compensation expense and an increase in acquisition-related contingent consideration.

Operating income was $113 million for the full year of 2025, as compared to $162 million for the full year of 2024, a decrease of $49 million. The change was largely driven by an increase in selling, advertising and promotion costs attributable to MIEBO and other products, partially offset by the contribution of the revenue drivers noted above.

Net Loss

Net loss attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $58 million, as compared to $3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an unfavorable change of $55 million. The change was primarily driven by an increase in the income tax provision, partially offset by the operating results noted above.

Net loss attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation for the full year of 2025 was $360 million, as compared to $317 million for the full year of 2024, an unfavorable change of $43 million. The change was primarily driven by the operating results noted above and fees associated with the June 2025 refinancing, partially offset by a decrease in the income tax provision.

Adjusted net income attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (non-GAAP)¹ for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $115 million, as compared to $89 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $26 million.

Adjusted net income attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (non-GAAP)¹ for the full year of 2025 was $152 million, as compared to $204 million for the full year of 2024, a decrease of $52 million.

Cash Flow From Operations

Cash flow from operations for the full year of 2025 was $283 million, as compared to $232 million for the full year of 2024, an increase of $51 million. Cash flow was positively impacted in the full year by working capital initiatives, partially offset by fees associated with the June 2025 refinancing and the timing of business transformation payments.

Earnings Per Share

GAAP Earnings Per Share ("EPS") Basic and Diluted attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation for the fourth quarter of 2025 was ($0.16), as compared to ($0.01) for the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted EPS attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (non-GAAP)¹ for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.32, as compared to $0.25 for the fourth quarter of 2024.

GAAP EPS Basic and Diluted attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation for the full year of 2025 was ($1.02), as compared to ($0.90) for the full year of 2024. Adjusted EPS attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (non-GAAP)¹ for the full year of 2025 was $0.43, as compared to $0.58 for the full year of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)¹; Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)¹

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)¹ was $326 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $259 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $67 million. Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)¹ was $330 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $259 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $71 million, primarily due to the contribution of the revenue drivers noted above and operating leverage.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)¹ was $858 million for the full year of 2025, as compared to $860 million for the full year of 2024, a decrease of $2 million, primarily driven by an increase in Acquired IPR&D. Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)¹ was $891 million for the full year of 2025, as compared to $878 million for the full year of 2024, an increase of $13 million, primarily due to the contribution of the revenue drivers noted above, partially offset by the voluntary recall of certain enVista IOLs and investment in products, including MIEBO.

2026 Financial Outlook²

Bausch + Lomb provided guidance for the full year of 2026, as follows.

Other than with respect to GAAP revenue, the company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)¹ to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation or of forward-looking constant currency revenue growth¹ to reported revenue growth, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. These amounts may be material and, therefore, could result in the projected GAAP measure or ratio being materially different or less than the projected non-GAAP measure or ratio. These statements represent forward-looking information and may represent a financial outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Forward-looking Statements section of this news release.

They also include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties respecting the proposed plan to separate Bausch + Lomb into an independent, publicly traded company, separate from the remainder of Bausch Health Companies Inc. ("BHC") (the "separation"), which include, but are not limited to, the expected benefits and costs of the separation, the expected timing of completion of the separation and its manner and terms (including that it may include the transfer of all or a portion of BHC's remaining direct or indirect equity interest in Bausch + Lomb to its shareholders (the "distribution")), the expectation that, if the separation is to be effected through a distribution, then it will be completed following the achievement of targeted debt leverage ratios, subject to receipt of applicable shareholder and other necessary approvals and other factors, including those described in BHC's public statements, the ability to complete the distribution considering the various conditions to the completion of the distribution (some of which are outside the company's and BHC's control, including conditions related to regulatory matters and receipt of applicable shareholder and other approvals), the impact of any potential sales of the company's common shares by BHC (including in connection with a foreclosure on the Bausch + Lomb common shares owned by BHC or its subsidiaries that are or may be pledged as collateral for certain of BHC's or its subsidiary's debt), that market or other conditions are no longer favorable to completing the transaction, that applicable shareholder, stock exchange, regulatory or other approval is not obtained on the terms or timelines anticipated or at all, business disruption during the pendency of or following the separation, diversion of management time on separation-related issues, retention of existing management team members, the reaction of customers and other parties to the separation, the structure of the distribution, the qualification of the distribution as a tax-free transaction for Canadian and/or U.S. federal income tax purposes (including whether or not an advance ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency and/or the Internal Revenue Service will be sought or obtained), the ability of the company and BHC to satisfy the conditions required to maintain the tax-free status of such distribution (some of which are beyond their control), other potential tax or other liabilities that may arise as a result of the distribution, the potential dis-synergy costs resulting from the separation, the impact of the separation on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties, general economic conditions, conditions in the markets the company is engaged in, behavior of customers, suppliers and competitors, technological developments and legal and regulatory rules affecting the company's business.

They also include risks and uncertainties relating to acquisitions and other business development transactions the company has completed or may, in the future, pursue and complete, including risks that pending transactions may not close, risks that the company may not realize the expected benefits of those transactions on a timely basis or at all and, where applicable, risks relating to increased levels of debt as a result of debt incurred to finance such transactions, including in regards to compliance with our debt covenants. They also include risks and uncertainties related to the impacts of the new legislation commonly referred to as One Big Beautiful Bill Act, including the effects on our tax provision for both 2026 and future years. They also include the expected impact of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. and counter-tariffs or other retaliatory measures imposed on the U.S. by other countries and disruptions to global supply chains and other potential results as a result of these developments and our ability to successfully manage the expected impact of such tariffs and counter-tariffs and other measures, including the success of our planned actions and levers to manage these matters. Finally, they also include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties caused by or relating to adverse economic conditions and other macroeconomic factors, over which we have no control, including heightened inflation and interest rates, foreign currency rates, slower growth or a potential recession, which could adversely impact our revenue, expenses and resulting margins. In addition, certain material factors and assumptions have been applied in making these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the assumption that the risks and uncertainties outlined above will not cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Information

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios. Management uses these non-GAAP measures and ratios as key metrics in the evaluation of the company's performance and the consolidated financial results and, in part, in the determination of cash bonuses for its executive officers. The company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios are useful to investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of the company. In addition, these non-GAAP measures and ratios address questions the company routinely receives from analysts and investors, and in order to assure that all investors have access to similar data, the company has determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors.

These measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures and ratios that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures and ratios. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures and ratios may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures and ratios of other companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures and ratios, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures and ratios. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. They should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The reconciliations of these historic non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to the most directly comparable financial measures and ratios calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below.

Specific Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D and Adjusted EBITDA growth (excluding Acquired IPR&D)

EBITDA (non-GAAP) is Net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) is EBITDA (non-GAAP) divided by Revenues. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is EBITDA (non-GAAP) further adjusted for the items described below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), along with the GAAP measures used by management, most appropriately reflect how the company measures the business internally and sets operational goals and incentives. In particular, the company believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) focuses management on the company's underlying operational results and business performance. As a result, the company uses Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) both to assess the actual financial performance of the company and to forecast future results as part of its guidance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is a useful measure to evaluate current performance. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors. In addition, cash bonuses for the company's executive officers and other key employees are based, in part, on the achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) targets.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is Net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest expense, net, (benefit from) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted for the following items:

• Asset impairments: The company has excluded the impact of impairments of finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions and divestitures. The company believes that the adjustments of these items correlate with the sustainability of the company's operating performance. Although the company excludes impairments of intangible assets from measuring the performance of the company and its business, the company believes that it is important for investors to understand that intangible assets contribute to revenue generation.
• Restructuring, integration and transformation costs: The company has incurred restructuring costs as it implemented certain strategies, which involved, among other things, improvements to its infrastructure and operations, internal reorganizations and impacts from the divestiture of assets and businesses. With regard to infrastructure and operational improvements which the company has taken to improve efficiencies in the businesses and facilities, these tend to be costs intended to right size the business or organization that fluctuate significantly between periods in amount, size and timing, depending on the improvement project, reorganization or transaction. Additionally, with the completion of the Bausch + Lomb IPO, as the company prepares for post-separation operations, the company is launching certain transformation initiatives that will result in certain changes to and investment in its organizational structure and operations. These transformation initiatives arise outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations and, as is the case with the company's restructuring efforts, costs associated with these transformation initiatives are expected to fluctuate between periods in amount, size and timing. These out-of-the-ordinary-course charges include third-party advisory costs, as well as certain compensation-related costs. Investors should understand that the outcome of these transformation initiatives may result in future restructuring actions and certain of these charges could recur. The company believes that the adjustments of these items provide supplemental information with regard to the sustainability of the company's operating performance, allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental information to investors.
• Acquisition-related costs and adjustments excluding amortization of intangible assets: The company has excluded the impact of acquisition-related costs and fair value inventory step-up resulting from acquisitions as the amounts and frequency of such costs and adjustments are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of its acquisitions. In addition, the company excludes the impact of acquisition-related contingent consideration non-cash adjustments due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to fair value estimates, and the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of the company's acquisitions, as well as the nature of the agreed-upon consideration.
• Share-based compensation: The company excludes costs relating to share-based compensation. The company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense assists investors in the comparisons of operating results to peer companies. Share-based compensation expense can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted.
• Separation costs and separation-related costs: The company has excluded certain costs incurred in connection with activities taken to: (i) separate the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and (ii) register the Bausch + Lomb business as an independent publicly traded entity. Separation costs are incremental costs directly related to effectuating the separation of the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and include, but are not limited to, legal, audit and advisory fees, talent acquisition costs and costs associated with establishing a new Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Separation-related costs are incremental costs indirectly related to the separation of the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and include, but are not limited to, IT infrastructure and software licensing costs, rebranding costs and costs associated with facility relocation and/or modification. As these costs arise from events outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations, the company believes that the adjustments of these items provide supplemental information with regard to the sustainability of the company's operating performance, allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental information to investors.
• Loss on extinguishment of debt: The company has excluded loss on extinguishment of debt as this represents a loss from refinancing our existing debt and is not a reflection of our operations for the period. Further, the amount and frequency of such amounts are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt financing transactions and other factors in the debt market that are not within management's control. Bausch + Lomb did not have any material losses on extinguishment of debt prior to the second quarter of 2025.
• Other Non-GAAP adjustments: The company also excludes certain other amounts, including IT infrastructure investment, litigation and other matters, gain/(loss) on sales of assets and certain other amounts that are the result of other, non-comparable events to measure operating performance if and when present in the periods presented. These events arise outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Given the unique nature of the matters relating to these costs, the company believes these items are not routine operating expenses. For example, legal settlements and judgments vary significantly, in their nature, size and frequency, and, due to this volatility, the company believes the costs associated with legal settlements and judgments are not routine operating expenses. The company believes that the exclusion of such out-of-the-ordinary-course amounts provides supplemental information to assist in the comparison of the financial results of the company from period to period and, therefore, provides useful supplemental information to investors. However, investors should understand that many of these costs could recur and that companies in our industry often face litigation.

Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D) (non-GAAP) is Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) further adjusted to exclude Acquired IPR&D. The IPR&D expenditures represent costs directly resulting from business development transactions and not through the normal course of business. The company believes that the exclusion of such out-of-the-ordinary-course amounts provides supplemental information to assist in the comparison of the financial results of the company from period to period and, therefore, provides useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our performance. However, investors should understand that the company may enter into additional business development transactions in the future and, as a result, such Acquired IPR&D may recur in the future.

Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP)

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) is net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for asset impairments, restructuring, integration and transformation costs, acquisition-related costs and adjustments (excluding amortization of intangible assets), separation costs and separation-related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and other non-GAAP adjustments, as these adjustments are described above, and further adjusted for amortization of intangible assets and write-down of financing fees, as described below:

• Amortization of intangible assets: The company has excluded the impact of amortization of intangible assets, as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. The company believes that the adjustments of these items correlate with the sustainability of the company's operating performance. Although the company excludes the amortization of intangible assets from its non-GAAP expenses, the company believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.
• Write-down of financing fees: In addition to excluding loss on extinguishment of debt, the company has excluded write-down of financing fees as this represents a loss from refinancing our existing debt and is not a reflection of our operations for the period. Further, the amount and frequency of such amounts are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt financing transactions and other factors in the debt market that are not within management's control. Bausch + Lomb did not have any material write-downs of financing fees prior to the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of these certain items that may obscure trends in the company's underlying performance. Management uses Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing this non-GAAP measure, it is management's intention to provide investors with a meaningful, supplemental comparison of the company's operating results and trends for the periods presented. Management believes that this measure is also useful to investors as such measure allows investors to evaluate the company's performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. Accordingly, the company believes that Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) is useful to investors in their assessment of the company's operating performance and the valuation of the company. It is also noted that, in recent periods, our GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation was significantly lower than our Adjusted net income (non-GAAP).

Constant Currency

Constant currency change or constant currency revenue growth is a change in GAAP revenue (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) on a period-over-period basis adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company uses Constant Currency revenue (non-GAAP) and Constant Currency revenue Growth (non-GAAP) to assess performance of its reportable segments, and the company in total, without the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The company believes that such measures are useful to investors as they provide a supplemental period-to-period comparison. Although changes in foreign currency exchange rates are part of our business, they are not within management's control. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, however, can mask positive or negative trends in the underlying business performance. Constant currency impact is determined by comparing current year reported amounts adjusted to exclude currency impact, calculated using monthly average exchange rates from the prior year to the actual prior year reported amounts.

Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)

Adjusted earnings per share or Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) is calculated as Diluted income per share attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation ("GAAP EPS") (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure), adjusted for the per diluted share impact of each adjustment made to reconcile Net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation to Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) as discussed above. Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) is Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) further adjusted for the per diluted share impact of Acquired IPR&D. Like Adjusted net income (non-GAAP), Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of certain items that may obscure trends in the company's underlying performance on a per share basis. By disclosing this non-GAAP measure, it is management's intention to provide investors with a meaningful, supplemental comparison of the company's results and trends for the periods presented on a diluted share basis. Accordingly, the company believes that Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) are useful to investors in their assessment of the company's operating performance, the valuation of the company and an investor's return on investment. It is also noted that, for the periods presented, our GAAP EPS was significantly lower than our Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP).
