HARROW, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Company and Background
Harrow, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates or otherwise requires, the “Company” or “Harrow”) is a leading eyecare pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative ophthalmic pharmaceutical products for the U.S. market. Harrow helps U.S. eyecare professionals preserve the gift of sight by making its comprehensive portfolio of prescription and non-prescription pharmaceutical products accessible and affordable to millions of Americans each year. The Company owns commercial rights to one of the largest portfolios of branded ophthalmic pharmaceutical products in the U.S. that are marketed under its Harrow name. The Company also owns and operates ImprimisRx, one of the nation’s leading ophthalmology-focused pharmaceutical-compounding businesses.
The Company owns non-controlling equity interests in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. (“Surface”) and Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”), both companies that began as subsidiaries of Harrow. Harrow also owns royalty rights in various drug candidates being developed by Surface and Melt.
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other period. For further information, refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.
Harrow
consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company assesses control under the variable interest entity
(“VIE”) model to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of that entity. The Company consolidates
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following represents an update for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Risks, Uncertainties and Liquidity
The Company is subject to certain regulatory standards, approvals, guidelines and inspections which could impact the Company’s ability to make, dispense, and sell certain products. If the Company was required to cease compounding and selling certain products as a result of regulatory guidelines or inspections, this may have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The established fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
● | Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available. |
● | Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. For example, Level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method. |
At
March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company measured its investment in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eton”) on a recurring
basis. The Company’s investment in Eton is classified as Level 1 as the fair value is determined using quoted market prices in
active markets for the same securities. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair market value of the Company’s investment
in Eton was $
The Company’s 2026 Notes (as defined in Note 11) are carried at face value, including the unamortized premium, less unamortized debt issuance costs, the 2027 Notes (as described in Note 11) are carried at face value less unamortized debt issuance costs, and the Oaktree Loan (as defined in Note 11) is carried at face value less the original issue discount and unamortized debt issuance costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the Company presents fair value for disclosure purposes only. The 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes are classified as Level 1 instruments as the fair value is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for the same securities. The Oaktree Loan is classified as a Level 2 instrument and its fair value is determined through an income approach that considers collateral coverage, yield calibration, yield analysis and any adjustments to implied yield associated with the Company’s fundamental measures.
The following table presents the estimated fair values and the carrying values:
March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||||||||||||
Carrying Value | Fair Value | Carrying Value | Fair Value | |||||||||||||
2026 Notes | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
2027 Notes | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Oaktree Loan | $ | $ | $ | $ |
The Company’s other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related liabilities, deferred revenue and customer deposits and operating lease liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial instruments, except for operating lease liabilities, approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company, the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities approximate their respective fair values.
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), and warrants, outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares (using the treasury stock method) from stock options, unvested RSUs, unvested PSUs and warrants were and at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are excluded in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented, because the effect is anti-dilutive. Included in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation were RSUs awarded to directors that had vested, but the issuance and delivery of the shares are deferred until the director resigns. The number of shares underlying vested RSUs at March 31, 2024 and 2023 was and , respectively.

On a quarterly basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments may be other than temporarily impaired. Indicators include financial condition, operating performance, and near-term prospects of the investee. To the extent indicators suggest that a loss in value may have occurred, the Company will evaluate both quantitative and qualitative factors to determine if the loss in value is other than temporary. If a potential loss in value is determined to be other than temporary, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based on the estimated fair value of the equity method investments. The Company has no other investments other than its common stock and preferred stock positions in Melt and no other requirements to advance funds to Melt.

Accounting Guidance Issued but Not Adopted at March 31, 2024
In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which applies to the formation of entities that meet the definition of a joint venture (or a corporate joint venture) and requires joint ventures to initially measure all contributions received upon formation at fair value. The new guidance does not impact accounting by the venturers. The new guidance is applicable to joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. Joint ventures formed prior to the effective date may elect to apply the new guidance retrospectively back to their original formation date. The Company will apply the guidance in ASU 2023-05 prospectively to any future arrangements meeting the definition of a joint venture.
In October 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the codification by aligning them with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments to the various topics should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for the Company for each amendment will be determined based on the effective date of the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. If the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement by June 30, 2027, then the related amendment in ASU 2023-06 will be removed from the codification and will not become effective. Early adoption of this ASU is prohibited. The Company does not expect the amendments in this ASU to have a material impact on the disclosures or presentation in its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances the disclosures required for operating segments in the Company’s annual and interim consolidated financial statements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company in our annual reporting for fiscal 2024 and for interim period reporting beginning in fiscal 2025 on a retrospective basis, with all required disclosures to be made for all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the disclosures required for income taxes in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. Notably, this ASU requires entities to disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company in its annual reporting for fiscal year 2025 on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective reporting are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period items and amounts have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements for the current period. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as previously reported.
NOTE 3. REVENUES
The Company accounts for contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. The Company has three primary streams of revenue: (1) product revenues, including revenue recognized from sales of products through its pharmacy and outsourcing facility and sales of branded products to wholesalers through a third-party logistics (“3PL”) partner, (2) revenue recognized from transfer of acquired product sales and profits in 2023, and (3) revenue recognized from intellectual property licenses and related arrangements.
Product Revenues
The Company sells prescription medications directly through its pharmacy, outsourcing facility and 3PL partner. Revenue from the Company’s pharmacy services includes: (i) the portion of the price the client pays directly to the Company, net of any volume-related or other discounts paid back to the client, (ii) the price paid to the Company by individuals, and (iii) customer copayments made directly to the pharmacy network. Sales taxes are not included in revenue. Following the core principles of ASC 606, the Company has identified the following:
1. | Identify the contract(s) with a customer: A contract is deemed to exist when the customer places an order through receipt of a prescription, via an online order or via receipt of a purchase order from a customer. For branded products, orders are received through the Company’s 3PL partner, and the customer takes title of the products via formal purchase orders placed and fulfilled. |
10 |
2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract: Obligations for fulfillment of the Company’s contracts consist of delivering the product to customers at their specified destination. For shipping and handling activities under ASC 606, if the customer takes control of the goods after shipment, shipping and handling activities would always be considered a fulfillment activity and not treated as a separate performance obligation. If the customer takes control of the goods before shipment, entities must make an accounting policy election to treat shipping and handling activities as either a fulfillment cost or as a separate performance obligation. The Company has elected to treat its shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost. |
3. | Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is based on an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, net of accruals for estimated rebates, wholesaler chargebacks, discounts, copay assistance and other deductions (collectively, sales deductions) and an estimate for returns and replacements established at the time of sale. The Company utilizes the services of a third-party professional services firm to estimate rebates and chargebacks associated with sales of its branded products. The transfer of promised goods is satisfied within a year, and therefore there are no significant financing components. There is no non-cash consideration related to product sales. |
4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: Because there is only one performance obligation for product sales, no allocation is necessary. |
5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation: Revenue from products is recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer. This generally occurs upon shipment unless contractual terms with a customer state that transfer of control occurs at delivery. |
Revenues From Transfer of Acquired Product Sales and Profits
The Company has entered into agreements whereby it purchased the exclusive commercial rights to assets associated with certain ophthalmic products from other pharmaceutical companies (the “Sellers”). During a temporary, transition period, the Sellers continue to manufacture and market these products and transfer the net profit from the sale of the products to the Company. The revenue recognized by the Company from the transfer of net profit was recognized at the time profit from the product sales were calculated by the Sellers and confirmed by the Company, typically on a monthly basis, at which point there is no future performance obligation required by the Company and no consequential continuing involvement on the Company’s part to recognize the associated revenue. On a quarterly basis, the Sellers invoice the Company for all credits and reimbursements (“Chargebacks”) made to customers related to the products. The Company uses historical actual experience to estimate Chargebacks associated with the net sales and profit transferred. The estimated Chargebacks are recorded as a reduction in revenues from transfer of acquired product sales and profits in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, and recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets, at the time the revenue is recognized.
Intellectual Property License and Related Arrangements Revenues
As of March 31, 2024, the Company holds five intellectual property licenses and related arrangements pursuant to which the Company has agreed to license or sell to a customer the right to access the Company’s intellectual property. License arrangements may consist of non-refundable upfront license fees, data transfer fees, research reimbursement payments, exclusive license rights to patented or patent pending compounds, technology access fees, and various performance or sales milestones. These arrangements can be multiple-element arrangements, the revenue of which is recognized at the point in time that the performance obligation is met.
Non-refundable fees that are not contingent on any future performance by the Company and require no consequential continuing involvement on the part of the Company are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology, compounded drug preparation and/or other deliverables are delivered. Such deliverables may include physical quantities of compounded drug preparations, design of the compounded drug preparations and structure-activity relationships, the conceptual framework and mechanism of action, and rights to the patents or patent applications for such compounded drug preparations. The Company defers recognition of non-refundable fees if it has continuing performance obligations without which the technology, right, product or service conveyed in conjunction with the non-refundable fee has no utility to the licensee and that are separate and independent of the Company’s performance under the other elements of the arrangement. In addition, if the Company’s continued involvement is required, through research and development services that are related to its proprietary know-how and expertise of the delivered technology or can only be performed by the Company, then such non-refundable fees are deferred and recognized over the period of continuing involvement. Guaranteed minimum annual royalties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term.

Stock Option Plan
On September 17, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the Company’s 2007 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan, which was subsequently amended on November 5, 2008, February 26, 2012, July 18, 2012, May 2, 2013 and September 27, 2013 (as amended, the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan reached its term in September 2017, and we can no longer issue additional awards under this plan, however, options previously issued under the 2007 Plan will remain outstanding until they are exercised, reach their maturity or are otherwise cancelled/forfeited. On June 13, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the Company’s 2017 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan which was subsequently amended on June 3, 2021 (as amended, the “2017 Plan” together with the 2007 Plan, the “Plans”). As of December 31, 2023, the 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of shares of the Company’s common stock. The purpose of the Plans are to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons in the Company’s development and financial success. Under the Plans, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock. The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company had shares available for future issuances under the 2017 Plan at March 31, 2024.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax amount of the proceeds, net of exercise price, which would have been received by option holders if all option holders had exercised and immediately sold all shares underlying options with an exercise price lower than the market price on March 31, 2024, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $ on that date.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted stock options to certain employees. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans) and in the event of certain modifications to the option award agreement.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The expected term of options granted to employees and directors was determined in accordance with the “simplified approach,” as the Company has limited, relevant, historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The expected risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The financial statement effect of forfeitures is estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, if the actual effect differs from those estimates. For option grants to employees and directors, the Company assigns a forfeiture factor of %. These factors could change in the future, which would affect the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods. Utilizing these assumptions, the fair value is determined at the date of grant.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal
General and Other
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, government investigations and other matters that are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. The Company describes legal proceedings and other matters that are/were significant or that it believes could become significant in this footnote.
The Company records accruals for loss contingencies to the extent that it concludes it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of a liability that has been accrued previously.
The Company’s legal proceedings involve various aspects of its business and a variety of claims, some of which present novel factual allegations and/or unique legal theories. Typically, a number of the matters pending against the Company are at early stages of the legal process, which in complex proceedings of the sort the Company faces often extend for several years. While it is not possible to accurately predict or determine the eventual outcomes of matters that have not concluded, an adverse determination in one or more of the matters (whether discussed in this footnote or not) currently pending may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Ocular Science, Inc. et. al
In July 2021, ImprimisRx, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, filed a lawsuit against Ocular Science, Inc. and OSRX, Inc. (together, “OSRX”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, asserting claims for copyright infringement, trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising (Lanham Act). ImprimisRx is seeking damages from OSRX. Since July 2021, the complaint has been amended and OSRX added counterclaims alleging ImprimisRx, LLC is violating the Lanham Act with false advertising. Both parties are seeking damages from the other. The Company expects the trial to take place in August 2024.

Product and Professional Liability
Product and professional liability litigation represents an inherent risk to all firms in the pharmaceutical and pharmacy industry. We utilize traditional third-party insurance policies with regard to our product and professional liability claims. Such insurance coverage at any given time reflects current market conditions, including cost and availability, when the policy is written.
Indemnities
In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in the Company’s charter documents, the Company generally enters into separate indemnification agreements with each of the Company’s directors and officers. These agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as the Company’s director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by the Company. Several of the Company’s asset purchase and license agreements contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and confidentiality provisions, and also contain mutual indemnification obligations related primarily to performance under the respective agreements. The Company also indemnifies its lessors in connection with its facility leases for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. These indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Asset Purchase, License and Related Agreements
FDA Approved Product Acquisitions
In
recent years, the Company has acquired commercial and product rights to various FDA approved ophthalmic medications and products through
asset purchase, licenses, supply and/or other related agreements. In general, in exchange for product and commercial rights these agreements
provide the counterparties with certain upfront and contingent milestone payments typically related to certain annual sales amounts and
manufacturing events, and in certain cases, per unit transfer prices and royalties on sales of some of the products. During the three
months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, $
Formulation Acquisitions
The Company has acquired and sourced intellectual property rights related to certain proprietary innovations from certain inventors, innovator companies and related parties (the “Inventors”) through multiple asset purchase agreements and license agreements. In general, these agreements provide that the Inventors will cooperate with the Company in obtaining patent protection for the acquired intellectual property and that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to research, develop and commercialize a product based on the acquired intellectual property. In addition, the Company has acquired a right of first refusal on additional intellectual property and drug development opportunities presented by these Inventors.
In
consideration for the acquisition of these intellectual property rights, the Company is obligated to make payments to the Inventors based
on the completion of certain milestones, generally consisting of: (1) a payment payable within 30 to 45 days after the issuance
of the first patent in the United States arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); (2) a payment payable within 30 days
after the Company files the first investigational new drug application (“IND”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”) for the first product arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); (3) for certain of the Inventors,
a payment payable within 30 days after the Company files the first new drug application with the FDA for the first product arising from
the acquired intellectual property (if any); and (4) certain royalty payments based on the net receipts received by the Company in connection
with the sale or licensing of any product based on the acquired intellectual property (if any), after deducting (among other things)
the Company’s development costs associated with such product. If, following five years after the date of the applicable asset purchase
agreement, the Company either (a) for certain of the Inventors, has not filed an IND or, for the remaining Inventors, has not initiated
a study where data is derived, or (b) has failed to generate royalty payments to the Inventors for any product based on the acquired
intellectual property, the Inventors may terminate the applicable asset purchase agreement and request that the Company re-assign the
acquired technology to the Inventors. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, $

Sales and Marketing Agreements
The Company had entered various sales and marketing agreements with certain organizations to provide exclusive and non-exclusive sales and marketing representation services to Harrow in select geographies in the U.S. in connection with the Company’s ophthalmic pharmaceutical compounded formulations or related products.
Contract Manufacturing
The
Company had entered into manufacturing agreements with respect to third-party contract manufacturers for its FDA approved pharmaceutical
products. Some of these contract manufacturing agreements require minimum annual order amounts. The Company has committed to pay approximately

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”). Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and, unless otherwise stated, the information derived therefrom as presented in this discussion and analysis is presented, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The information contained in this Quarterly Report is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our common stock. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this Quarterly Report and in our other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and subsequent reports, which discuss our business in greater detail.

In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All statements made in this Quarterly Report other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and reflect only our current views, expectations and assumptions with respect to future events and our future performance. If risks or uncertainties materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or events could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements we make include, among others, risks related to: liquidity or results of operations; our ability to successfully implement our business plan, develop and commercialize our products, product candidates and proprietary formulations in a timely manner or at all, identify and acquire additional products, manage our pharmacy operations, service our debt, obtain financing necessary to operate our business, recruit and retain qualified personnel, manage any growth we may experience and successfully realize the benefits of our previous acquisitions and any other acquisitions and collaborative arrangements we may pursue; competition from pharmaceutical companies, outsourcing facilities and pharmacies; general economic and business conditions, including inflation and supply chain challenges; regulatory and legal risks and uncertainties related to our pharmacy operations and the pharmacy and pharmaceutical business in general; physician interest in and market acceptance of our current and any future formulations and compounding pharmacies generally; and the other risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and in our other filings with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly update any forward-looking statement for any reason.
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. Harrow helps U.S. eyecare professionals preserve the gift of sight by making its 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. In addition, we have a non-controlling equity interest in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”), and two other companies that began as subsidiaries of Harrow and were subsequently carved-out of our corporate structure and deconsolidated from our financial statements.
23 |
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, 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 will 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 2024 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.
Apotex - Canadian Out-License
In February 2024, we entered into a license and supply agreement with Apotex Inc. (“Apotex”). Under the terms of the agreement, Apotex licensed exclusive rights and marketing authorizations of the following products in the Canadian market from Harrow: VERKAZIA (cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion) 0.1% and Cationorm PLUS. Apotex was also granted a license for products Apotex will pursue approval for in Canada: VEVYE (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1%, IHEEZO (chloroprocaine hydrochloride ophthalmic gel) 3%, and ZERVIATE (cetirizine ophthalmic solution) 0.24% (with VERKAZIA and Cationorm Plus, collectively, the “Apotex Products”). In exchange, Apotex will make payments to Harrow for milestones related to manufacturing arrangements, regulatory and commercial achievements, in addition to royalties on net sales of the Apotex Products.
IHEEZO Reimbursement
In January 2024, we met with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”)to request clarification related to its anesthesia billing policy which has historically not allowed for the separate billing of anesthesia services in the physician’s office. During the meeting we requested that CMS clarify that J-Code 2403, IHEEZO’s permanent J-Code, is appropriate to be billed for the anesthesia product itself (i.e., IHEEZO in our case) in the physician office setting. In March 2024, we received communication from a representative at CMS that the inclusion of J-Code 2403 in CMS’s April 2024 quarterly drug pricing file of the average sales prices (ASP) of some Medicare Part B-covered drugs and biologicals confirms that IHEEZO is separately payable in the physician office setting.
In February 2024, we made a request to CMS to consider increasing the Medically Unlikely Edits (“MUE”) for IHEEZO’s J-Code from 1 to 2. This request was made because the limitation of one MUE only allowed a single IHEEZO administration (equal to one single-use vial) to be used and billed, while many ophthalmologists perform bilateral ocular procedures, which would require two vials of IHEEZO to be used. On March 20, 2024, the Company received communication from the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) program of CMS stating that CMS decided to increase the MUE for IHEEZO’s J-Code (J2403) from 1 to 2. While not final until published, CMS stated in its communication to the Company that the MUE edit will be (1) effective in July 2024, and (2) made retroactive for procedures dating to January 1, 2024.
VEVYE U.S. Launch
In January 2024, we launched VEVYE (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1%, the first and only water-free cyclosporine dissolved in a semifluorinated alkane approved to treat both the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in the U.S. We partnered with various entities including PhilRx, Apollo Care and PARx Solutions to enhance our market and patient access program for VEVYE.

Results of Operations
The following period-to-period comparisons of our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 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 following presents our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

March 31, | ||||||||||||
2024 | 2023 | Variance | ||||||||||
Product sales, net | $ | 34,508,000 | $ | 20,453,000 | $ | 14,055,000 | ||||||

Total revenues | $ | 34,587,000 | $ | 26,103,000 | $ | 8,484,000 |
The increase in revenues between periods was related to an increase in sales of our branded ophthalmology products. During 2023, the Company recorded $5,650,000 in revenues associated with the transfer of profits of recently acquired products where the product new drug applications (“NDAs”) had not yet transferred to Harrow. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, revenues from branded products totaled $13,868,000, compared to $6,272,000 (which included revenues from the transfer of profits) during the same period in the prior year.
Cost of Sales
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.

Cost of sales | $ | 10,553,000 | $ | 8,271,000 | $ | 2,282,000 |
The increase in our cost of sales was largely attributable to expenses associated with unit volumes sold and increased direct and indirect costs associated with production of our products.

Gross margin | 69.49 | % | 68.31 | % | 1.17 | % |
The increase in gross margin between the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase in sales associated with our branded ophthalmology products, which generally have a higher gross margin profile than our compounded products.
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 expenses included regulatory enhancements, costs to support the transition of recent product acquisitions, and an increase in expenses related to the addition of new employees in sales, marketing and other departments to support current and expected growth, including the commercial launch of VEVYE in December 2023. In addition, stock-based compensation expense increased by $2,260,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the prior year period represented another notable increase.
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, clinical and medical support.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net was $5,415,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $4,747,000 for the same period in 2023. The increase during the period ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily to the result of an increase in the outstanding principal amount of our debt obligations.
Investment (Loss) Gain 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’s common stock compared to a gain of $2,042,000 for the same period in 2023.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5,465,000, related to the payoff of a loan.
Other Income, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded other income of $26,000, related to our sublease at our lab and office space in Nashville.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our cash on hand at March 31, 2024 was $68,538,000, compared to $74,085,000 at December 31, 2023.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we believe that cash and cash equivalents of $68,538,000 at March 31, 2024, in addition to net proceeds received from the sale of our Eton investment in April 2024, will be sufficient to sustain our planned level of operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. In addition, we may consider the sale of certain assets including, but not limited to, part of, or all of, our investments in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. (“Surface”) and Melt and any of our consolidated subsidiaries. However, we may pursue acquisitions of revenue generating products, or 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.
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.
Net Cash Flow

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $(4,628,000) compared to $(8,214,000) during the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities between the periods was mainly attributed to an increase in revenues during 2023 and a decrease of $8,396,000 in accounts receivable due to collections during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to an increase of $5,882,000 during the same period in 2023. The net cash used in operating activities in 2023 was also impacted due to an increase in inventory levels, coupled with operating expenses associated with the commercial launch of IHEEZO, product acquisitions and integrations and increased costs of goods sold.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $(110,000) compared to $(130,970,000) during the same period in the prior year. Cash used in investing activities in 2023 was primarily related to the acquisition of five branded products which closed in January 2023. Cash used in investing activities in 2024 was primarily related to equipment and software purchases.
Financing Activities
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $(809,000) and $62,162,000, respectively. 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 the employees. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily related to proceeds received from the sale of the notes and entering into loan arrangements, offset by payment of payroll taxes upon vesting and exercise of equity instruments in exchange for shares withheld from employees.

Sources of Capital
Our principal sources of cash consist of cash provided by operating activities. We may also sell some or all of our ownership interests in Surface, Melt or our other subsidiaries.
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 receive additional proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase warrants that are currently outstanding. 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, including our past bankruptcy proceedings. 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.
