"This past year, little Harrow grew up, transforming from a company focused exclusively on its market-leading ImprimisRx compounded business, to a growing leader in the North American ophthalmic pharmaceuticals market – with a total 18 branded products," said Mark L. Baum, CEO of Harrow. "In addition to the significant revenue and Adjusted EBIDTA growth the team delivered, we launched products and began to generate cash from our Big Three products – IHEEZO, VEVYE and TRIESENCE. Finally, we also attracted experienced, well connected, and highly motivated talent to join Harrow – setting the table beautifully for 2024 and for many years to come, when we expect significant growth from IHEEZO, continued success with our VEVYE launch, and having TRIESENCE back in inventory and available, potentially this year. In summary, supported by the tremendous progress we made in 2023, this year, too, is shaping up to be another exciting year of growth. I am confident that we have the products, resources, and people to take full advantage of the opportunities we see ahead of us today and for many years to come."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the Company's results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which are presented and discussed above, management also utilizes Adjusted EBITDA and Core Results, unaudited financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the Company's financial results and performance and to plan and forecast future periods. Adjusted EBITDA and Core Results are considered "non‑GAAP" financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the Company's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting its business. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Core Results provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance because (i) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making; (ii) they exclude the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the Company's core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the Company's core operating performance; and (iii) they are used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company's results. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Core Results, and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non‑GAAP financial measures used by the Company and the way they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non‑GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the Company's competitors.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, excluding the effects of stock‑based compensation and expenses, impairment of intangible assets, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, investment (income) loss, net, and, if any and when specified, other non-recurring income or expense items. Management believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net loss. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit or net loss as a measure of operating performance or to net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, or financing activities as a measure of ability to meet cash needs.
The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, and for the same periods in 2022:

Core Results
Harrow Core Results, including core gross margin, core net (loss) income, and core basic and diluted loss per share exclude (1) all amortization and impairment charges of intangible assets, excluding software development costs, (2) net gains and losses on investments and equity securities, including equity method gains and losses and equity valued at fair value through profit and loss ("FVPL"), and preferred stock dividends, and (3) gains/losses on forgiveness of debt. In other periods, Core Results may also exclude fair value adjustments of financial assets in the form of options to acquire a company carried at FVPL, obligations related to product recalls, certain acquisition‑related items, restructuring charges/releases and associated items, related legal items, gains/losses on early extinguishment of debt or debt modifications, impairments of property, plant and equipment and software, as well as income and expense items that management deems exceptional and that are or are expected to accumulate within the year to be over a $100,000 threshold.
