For example, laws in the EU and the UK may require businesses to provide notice to individuals whose personal information has been disclosed as a result of a data security breach. We may also be contractually required to notify customers or other counterparties of a security incident, including a data security breach. Ransomware attacks, including those from organized criminal threat actors, nation-states, and nation-state supported actors, are becoming increasingly prevalent and severe, and if made against us could lead to significant interruptions in our operations, loss of Confidential Information and income, reputational loss, diversion of funds, and may also result in fines, litigation and unwanted media attention. Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting payments.

Risks Related to the Terminated Merger Agreement
The announcement of the termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or our stock price.
Our announcement of having entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 23, 2025, by and among the Company, Alcon Research, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Alcon”), and VMI Option Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcon (“Merger Sub”) has caused, and may continue to cause, a material disruption to our business. We also announced that the Merger Agreement has been terminated by us and Alcon, as described below. We are subject to several risks as a result of the announcement and termination of the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, the following:
certain costs related to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (collectively, the “Merger”), including the fees and/or expenses of our legal, accounting and financial advisors that must be paid despite the Merger not being completed;
our inability to retain existing key employees or hire new capable employees, given the uncertainty regarding our future, in order to execute on our continuing business operations;
the failure to complete the Merger may result in negative publicity and/or a negative impression of us in the investment community or business community generally;
difficulties maintaining relationships with collaborators, vendors, and other business partners;
third parties may determine to terminate and/or attempt to renegotiate their relationship with us as a result of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement, whether pursuant to the terms of their existing agreements with us or otherwise; and we could be subject to further litigation related to the Merger, including the failure to complete the Merger.
We may experience shareholder litigation related to the termination of the Merger Agreement, which could result in payment of damages.
In connection with the Merger, certain purported stockholders of the Company have sent demand letters (the “Demands”) alleging deficiencies and/or omissions regarding the disclosures made in the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on May 7, 2025 or the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on May 19, 2025. The purported stockholders may not view the Company’s cooperative actions in response to the Demands, such as the Company’s additional disclosure filed with the SEC on June 25, 2025, as sufficient. In addition, we have received a demand from a purported stockholder seeking to inspect certain corporate books and records, in order to investigate, among other things, purported breaches of fiduciary duty by members of the Company’s board of directors in connection with the Merger. The same stockholder filed a verified complaint to compel the inspection of books and records in the Delaware Court of Chancery. These actions could have the effect of increasing the Company’s costs, diverting our management’s attention and resources, delaying or adversely affecting the Merger or resulting in the payment of damages, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Global economic uncertainty, including due to factors such as increased inflation andinflation, rising interest rates, prolonged government shutdowns, and increased tariffs and other trade barriers, have contributed to our business and operational performance. If economic uncertainty continues or increases or if economic conditions deteriorate, these conditions may have a material adverse impact on our revenue, profit margins, cash flow and liquidity in the future. In particular, our business is impacted by inflation, such as the recent inflationary pressures related to global supply chain disruptions that have increased the cost of certain raw materials, labor and transportation used in our business. These broad-based inflationary impacts have negatively impacted our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows since 2020,flows, and we expect these inflationary impacts to continue for the foreseeable future. A high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain and increase our gross margin or decrease our operating expenses as a percentage of our revenues if our selling prices of our products do not increase as much or more than our increase in costs.
We have experienced and expect to incur operating losses for the near-term future and we cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.
We have historically derived our revenue from the sale or lease of our Systems and the associated procedure licenses and consumables used in each procedure involving our Systems and expect that this will account for a majority of our revenue in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, our ability to increase revenue is highly dependent on our ability to market and sell or lease our ALLY System and market the associated consumables. In 2022, we transitioned from manufacturing and selling our LLS to focus on our ALLY System. The ALLY System has also received certification in the European Union, or EU, and regulatory approval in India, TaiwanTaiwan, South Korea, and certain other countries. In addition, we are pursuing additional marketing or certification applications through our distributors in South Korea and China. Our growth, market presence and ability to sell the ALLY System will depend on whether the ALLY System receives additional regulatory clearances or certifications and the timing of these clearances or certifications, among other factors. In addition, our future revenue and cash flows will depend on, among other factors, our installed base of Systems.
the absence of third partythird-party blocking intellectual property;
The ALLY System, which has received clearance from the FDA, enables cataract surgeons to complete the robotic laser-assisted cataract surgery, or LACS, procedure seamlessly in a single, sterile environment. The ALLY System is available to cataract surgeons in all U.S. and EU jurisdictions and has also received regulatory clearance in India, Taiwan, South Korea, and certain other countries. We are also pursuing additional marketing or certification applications through our distributors in South Korea and China. In addition, our ability to meet production goals can also be impacted by supply chain interruptions. If we experience supply chain constraints, we may be unable to deliver ALLY Systems as planned.
We expect our revenues and expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to execute on our growthbusiness strategy, including expansioninvestment ofin our sales and customer support teams. The primary factors determining our cash needs are the funding of operations, which we expect to continue to expand as the business grows, and enhancing our product offerings through the research and development, further regulatory clearances and launchlaunches of the ALLY System. Our future liquidity needs, and ability to address those needs, will largely be determined by the success of our commercial efforts and those of our distributors; the timing, scope and magnitude of our commercial and development activities; and the timing of further regulatory clearance or certification of our ALLY System. We have also experienced negative effects on our capital requirements from supply chain interruptions, and we expect that supply chain disruptions will negatively affect our capital requirements and the availability of funds to finance those requirements in the future. Tariffs have resulted in increased costs on various components within the ALLY System and PIDs. As we have not passed on these additional costs to our customers, we have experienced a negative impact on our gross margin, which may continue to the extent we take this approach in future periods. In addition, market conditions impacting financial institutions could impact our ability to access some or all of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and we may be unable to obtain alternative funding when and as needed and on acceptable terms, if at all.
the costs of commercializing the ALLY System, including increased costs associated with supply chain disruptions anddisruptions, inflationary pressurespressures, the impact of increased tariffs or other trade barriers, sales in regions outside the U.S. or other new products or technologies;
We manufacture our Systems and provide the electronic license applications at our corporate headquarters in Orlando, Florida. This is also the location where we currently conduct substantially all of our research and development activities, customer and technical support, and management and administrative functions. If our facility suffers a crippling event, or a force majeure event such as an earthquake, hurricane, fire, flood or temporary shutdown due to a pandemic (including a resurgence of COVID-19 and its variants),pandemic, epidemic or infectious disease, this could materially impact our ability to operate.
We purchase custom and off-the-shelf components from a number of suppliers and subject them to stringent quality specifications and processes. Some of the components necessary for the assembly of our Systems and associated consumables are currently provided by single-sourced suppliers (the only approved supply source for us among other sources). If one or more of our suppliers cease to provide us with sufficient quantities of materials in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us, including due to costs associated with increased tariffs or other trade barriers, we would have to seek alternative sources of supply. Because of factors such as the proprietary nature of our products, our quality control standards and regulatory requirements, we may experience delays in engaging additional or replacement suppliers for certain components. There may also be disruptions outside our control in the availability and pricing of various component parts needed for our ALLY System.
We have seen significant disruptions in the supply of, timing of delivery of and fluctuations in pricing for various component parts needed for our products, including the integrated circuits used in our Systems, and expect these trends to continue. Our efforts to maintain an adequate supply of inventory may not be sufficient and we may be unable to source the necessary component parts on commercially acceptable terms to reflect in the price of our system. The long-term loss of these suppliers, or their long-term inability to provide us with an adequate supply of components or products,products on commercially reasonable terms, could potentially cause delay in the manufacture of our products, thereby impairing our ability to meet the demand of our customers and causing significant harm to our business. If it becomes necessary to identify and qualify a suitable second source to replace one of our key suppliers, that replacement supplier would not have access to our previous supplier’s proprietary processes and would therefore be required to develop its own, which could also result in delay. Any disruption of this nature or increased expense could harm our commercialization efforts and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If these supply chain shortages and disruptions continue or worsen, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to meet customer demand for the ALLY System. In addition, pricing increases in component parts for our Systems resulting from inflationary pressurespressures, the impact of increased tariffs and other trade barriers, and other macroeconomic conditions may necessitate an increase in the overall cost to customers, which in turn may have an adverse impact on customer demand.
We and some of our suppliers and contract facilities are required to comply with regulatory requirements of the FDA (and other regulatory authorities). In particular, the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, which includes FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, or cGMPs, covers the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, inspection, complaint handling, recordkeeping, management review, labeling, packaging, sterilization, storage and shipping of our device products. The FDA audits compliance with these regulatory requirements through periodicperiodically announced and unannounced inspections of manufacturing and other facilities. If our manufacturing facilities or those of any of our suppliers or contract facilities are found to be in violation of applicable laws and regulations, the FDA could take enforcement action. Similar requirements must be complied with in foreign countries and foreign regulatory authorities could also take enforcement action. Additionally, in the event we must obtain a replacement supplier or contract facility, it may be difficult for us to identify and qualify a supplier or contract facility that complies with QSR and cGMPs, which would adversely impact our operations.
Our primary competitors in providing surgical solutions for cataract patients are Alcon Inc.; Bausch + Lomb Corporation; Johnson & Johnson; Carl Zeiss AG; Zeimer Ophthalmic Systems AG; and KERANOVA S.A. These competitors are focused on bringing new technologies to market and acquiring products and technologies that directly compete with our products or have potential product advantages that could render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. Bausch + Lomb announced, in November 2025, that they anticipate launching a second-generation femtosecond laser in the second half of 2026. The next-gen laser, SeeLyra™ is said to feature live optical coherence tomography guidance and soft docking. Although not all the features are known currently, this will be the first second-generation laser expected to compete with the ALLY System.
We have historically sold and leased a significant portion of our LLSproducts outside of the United States through a network of independent distributors and intend to increase our international presence in Germany, China, India,Europe and South Korea,Asia, as well as other international markets, including through sales and leases of our ALLY System once regulatory clearance in these regions has been obtained.markets. Our international business operations are subject to a number of risks, including:
tariffs, export restrictions, and other trade barriers, trade regulations, and foreign tax laws;
political, social, and economic instability abroad, including the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East, potential conflict between China and Taiwan, terrorist attacks, and security concerns in general;
We generally do not maintain large volumes of finished goods and anticipating demand for our products may be challenging as cataract surgeon demand and adoption rates can be unpredictable. In addition, as use of our Systems is adopted by more cataract surgeons, we anticipate greater fluctuations in demand for our products, which makes demand forecasting more difficult. Our forecasts are based on management’s judgment and assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. If we underestimate customer demand or if insufficient manufacturing capacity is available, we would miss revenue opportunities and potentially lose market share and damage our customer relationships. In connection with the commercial launch of the ALLY System, we have modified our manufacturing operations from producing the LLS to the ALLY System. We could underestimate the worldwide demand for the ALLY System and be unable to fulfill customer requests. Conversely, if we overestimate customer demand,demand or otherwise experience impacts to our inventory levels, our excess or obsolete inventory may increase. For example, we have experienced reduced activity by our distributors following the announcement of the Merger, which has resulted in a decrease in our production levels, and expect further negative impact in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement. Our results could be adversely impacted if our distributors do not resume their sales activity to previous levels, and a significant increase significantly,in whichexcess or obsolete inventory would reduce our gross margin and adversely affect our financial results.
Our quarterly and annual results of operations may vary significantly in the future, and period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results of any one quarter or period should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our quarterly and annual financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control and, as a result, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. For example, we have historically experienced seasonal variations in the selling or leasing of our products and procedures involving our products, with our fourth quarter typically being the strongest and the first or third quarter being the slowest. We believe these seasonal changes are consistent across our industry. Other factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results include:
adoption of our LLS and ALLY Systems;
We have experienced significant period-to-period growth in our business, with the exception of 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations,business and we must continue to grow in order to meet our business and financial objectives. However, continued growth may create numerous challenges, including:
We have benefited substantially from the leadership and performance of our senior management as well as certain key employees. Our success will depend on our ability to retain our current management and key employees, and to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. Competition for senior management and key employees in our industry is intense, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain our personnel or attract new, qualified personnel, or that we will be able to do so without incurring substantial additional costs. We have begun to experienceexperienced increases in compensation levels in connection with our recruitment and retention efforts, which may increase further in the future. The loss of services of certain members of our senior management or key employees could prevent or delay the implementation and completion of our strategic objectives, or divert management’s attention to seeking qualified replacements. Each member of senior management as well as our key employees may terminate employment without notice and without cause or good reason. The members of our senior management are not subject to non-competition agreements. Accordingly, the adverse effect resulting from the loss of certain members of senior management could be compounded by our inability to prevent them from competing with us.
The efficient operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to store and effectively manage sales and marketing data, accounting and financial functions, inventory management, product development tasks, clinical data, customer service and technical support functions, intellectual property, proprietary business information and certain personal information, including of our employees and contractorsinformation (collectively, “Confidential Information”). The future operation, success and growth of our business depends on streamlined processes made available through our uninhibited access to information technology systems, global communications, internet activity and other network processes. Like most companies, despite our current security measures, our information technology systems, and those of our third-party service providers, strategic partners and other contractors or consultants are vulnerable to information security breaches, acts of vandalism, social engineering/phishing, computer viruses and malware (such as ransomware), misconfigurations, “bugs” or other vulnerabilities, theft or loss of Confidential Information. Confidential Information might be improperly accessed due to a variety of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hackers and other security issues. In addition, a variety of our software systems are cloud-based data management applications, hosted by third-party service providers whose security and information technology systems are subject to similar risks. We have technology security initiatives in place to mitigate our risk to these vulnerabilities, but there can be no assurance that our or our third-party service providers’ cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including policies, controls or proceduresprocedures, and other security measuresmeasures, will be adequately designed, complied with, implemented or effective to ensure that our or their operations are not disrupted or that data security breaches do not occur. Furthermore, given the nature of complex systems, software and services like ours, and the scanning tools that we deploy across our networks and products, we regularly identify and track security vulnerabilities. We are unable to comprehensively apply patches or confirm that measures are in place to mitigate all such vulnerabilities, or that patches will be applied before vulnerabilities are exploited by a threat actor.
Hackers and data thieves are increasingly sophisticated and operate large-scale and complex automated attacks which may remain undetected for an extended period. Even if identified, we may be unable to adequately investigateinvestigate, remediate or remediaterecover from incidents or breaches due to attackers increasingly using tools and techniques – including artificial intelligence – that are designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. We and certain of our service providers and customers are from time to time subject to cyberattackscyberattacks, social engineering/phishing, and other security incidents. While to date no incidents have had a material impact on our operations or financial results, we cannot guarantee that material incidents will not occur in the future. Any significant information technology system failure, accident or security breach affecting us or third-party systems or Confidential Information could causeresult in interruptions in our operations, result in damage to our reputation, the loss or misappropriation of Confidential Information, result in key personnel being unable to perform duties or communicate throughout the organization, significant costs associated with the investigation, data restoration and remediation, legal claims or proceedings (such as class actions), and potential notification of the breach to third-parties, including counter-partiescounterparties, governmental authorities, and data subjects, and have other adverse impacts on our business. For example, laws in the EU and the UK may require businesses to provide notice to individuals whose personal information has been disclosed as a result of a data security breach. We may also be contractually required to notify customers or other counterparties of a security incident, including a data security breach. Ransomware attacks, including those from organized criminal threat actors, nation-states, and nation-state supported actors, are becoming increasingly prevalent and severe, and if made against us could lead to significant interruptions in our operations, loss of Confidential Information and income, reputational loss, diversion of funds, and may also result in fines, litigation and unwanted media attention. Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting payments. Despite our existing security procedures and controls, ifcompromises to our network were compromised, it could give rise to unwanted media attention, materially damage our customer relationships, decrease sales and leases of our products, increase overhead costs, harm our business, reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, result in regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, result in fines or litigation, and may increase the costs we incur to protect against such information security breaches, such as increased investment in technology, the costs of compliance with consumer protection laws and costs resulting from consumer fraud.
We may be subject to state, federal and foreign laws relating to data privacy and security in the conduct of our business, including state breach notification laws, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009,2009 or, (collectively, HIPAA,HIPAA), the EU’sEU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and applicable national supplementing laws, or EU GDPR, and the UK General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018, or UK GDPR, (collectively, GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act,Act or, (collectively, CCPA.CCPA). In the United States, HIPAA imposes, among other things, certain standards relating to the privacy, security, transmission and breach reporting of individually identifiable health information on covered entities, including healthcare providers and research institutions, from which we obtain clinical trial data, as well as their business associates that perform certain services that involve creating, receiving, maintaining or transmitting such information for or on behalf of such covered entities, and their covered subcontractors. Depending on the facts and circumstances, we could be subject to regulatory investigation and enforcement action, including significant penalties, if we violate HIPAA. Certain states have also adopted comparable privacy and security laws and regulations, which govern the privacy, processing and protection of health-related and other personal information. Such laws and regulations will be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities, thus creating potentially complex compliance issues for us and our future customers and strategic partners. For example, the CCPA requires covered businesses that process personal information of California residents to, among other things: provide certain disclosures to California residents regarding the business’s collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information; receive and respond to requests from California residents to access, delete, and correct their personal information, or to opt-out of certain disclosures of their personal information; and enter into specific contractual provisions with service providers that process California resident personal information on the business’s behalf. Similar laws have been passed in other states, and continue to be proposed at the state and federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. The enactment of such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging. In the event that we are subject to or affected by HIPAA, the CCPA or other domestic privacy and data protection laws, any liability from failure to comply with the requirements of these laws could adversely affect our financial condition.
Furthermore, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC,FTC and many state Attorneys General continue to enforce federal and state consumer protection laws against companies for online collection, use, dissemination and security practices that appear to be unfair or deceptive. The FTC has authority to initiate enforcement actions against entities that make deceptive statements about privacy and data sharing in privacy policies, fail to limit third-party use of personal health information, fail to implement policies to protect personal health information or engage in other unfair practices that harm customers. For example, according to the FTC, failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure can constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act. The FTC expects a company’s data security measures to be reasonable and appropriate in light of the sensitivity and volume of consumer information it holds, the size and complexity of its business, and the cost of available tools to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities. Additionally, federal and state consumer protection laws are increasingly being applied by FTC and state Attorneys General to regulate the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal orhealth-related personallyand identifiableother information, through websites or otherwise, and to regulate the presentation of website content.
In 2024, the National Security Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a new rule – referred to as the “Data Security Program” (DSP) – to implement Executive Order 14117 aimed at preventing access to “bulk U.S. sensitive personal data” and “government-related data” by “countries of concern” (including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela) and “covered persons” (as all such terms are defined in the DSP). Effective as of April 8, 2025, and fully enforceable as of July 9, 2025, the DSP imposes stringent obligations on companies within its scope and prohibits or restricts “covered data transactions” that grant countries of concern or covered persons access to bulk U.S. sensitive personal data or any amount of government-related data. The DSP is new, complex and has yet to be enforced, and as such, there is a risk that our interpretation of its applicability, scope, and requirements is incorrect, incomplete, or misapplied. Compliance with the DSP may require us to invest heavily in data security and compliance measures, such as implementing and complying with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s guidelines and other burdensome recordkeeping, reporting, and auditing requirements. It may also require us to implement new processes, stop or restrict certain data transfers, alter the geographic scope of our operations, cease doing business with certain third parties or using certain tools or vendors, or change how data flows throughout our business, any of which could materially impact our business operations or hinder our ability to grow our business. Finally, non-compliance with the DSP could result in significant civil or criminal penalties, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The GDPR imposescomprehensively comprehensive compliance obligations regardingregulates our processinguse of personal data of individuals withinfrom the European Economic Area, or EEA,EEA and/or the UK, or in the context of our activities within the EEA,EEA and/or the UK, including a principle of accountability and the obligation to demonstrate that appropriate legal bases are in place to justify data processing activities. Additionally, we are subject to laws and regulations regarding cross-border transfers of personal data,data out of the EEA and the UK. In addition, some of the personal data we process in respect of clinical trial participants is special category or sensitive personal data under the GDPR, and subject to additional compliance obligations and local law derogations. We may be subject to diverging requirements under EU Member State laws and UK law, such as whether consent can be used as the legal basis for processing and the roles, responsibilities, and liabilities as between CROs and sponsors. As these laws develop, we may need to make operational changes to adapt to these diverging rules, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our business, including laws relating to transfer of personal data subject to the GDPR to third countries that have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the United States, and the efficacy and longevity of current transfer mechanisms between the EEA and the United States remains uncertain. Case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union, states that reliance on the standard contractual clauses, or SSCsSCCs, a standard form of contract approved by the European Commission as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism -mechanism, alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances and that transfers must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. The European Commission adopted its Adequacy Decision in relation to the new EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, or DPF, on July 10, 2023, rendering the DPF effective as a GDPR transfer mechanism to U.S. entities self-certified under the DPF.
We currently rely on the SCCs to transfer personal data outside the EEA and the UK, including to the United States, with respect to both intragroup and third-party transfers. We expect the existing legal complexity and uncertainty regarding international personal data transfers to continue. In particular, we expectAs the DPFregulatory Adequacyguidance Decisionand enforcement landscape in relation to be challenged and internationaldata transfers to the United States and to other jurisdictions more generally to continue to be subject to enhanced scrutiny by regulators. If we cannot rely on existing mechanisms for transferring personal data from the EEA, or other jurisdictions, we could be prevented from transferring personal data of individuals in those regions;develop, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines; we may have to stop using certain tools and vendors and make other operational changes; we willmay have to implement revisedalternative SSCsdata fortransfer existingmechanisms arrangementsunder withinthe requiredGDPR timeand/ frameor take additional compliance and operational measures; and/or it could otherwise adversely affect the manner in which we provideoperate our servicesbusiness and thuscould materiallyadversely affect our operationsbusiness, operations, and financial results.

In addition to fines, a breach of the GDPR may result in regulatory investigations, reputational damage, orders to cease/change our data processing activities, enforcement notices, assessment notices (for a compulsory audit) and/ or civil claims (including class actions).condition.
Failure to comply with the GDPR could result in penalties for noncompliance. Penalties for certain breaches are up to the greater of EUR 20 million/GBP 17.5 million or 4% of our global annual turnover. Since we are subject to the supervision of relevant data protection authorities under multiple legal regimes (including under both the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR), we could be fined under those regimes independently in respect of the same breach. In addition to fines, a breach of the GDPR may result in regulatory investigations, reputational damage, orders to cease/change our data processing activities, enforcement notices, assessment notices (for a compulsory audit) and/ or civil claims (including class actions).
We are also subject to the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018, which collectively impose separate but similar obligations to those under the GDPR and comparable penalties, including fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of a noncompliant undertaking’s global annual revenue for the preceding financial year, whichever is greater. On October 12, 2023, the UK Extension to the DPF came into effect (as approved by the UK Government), as a data transfer mechanism from the UK to U.S. entities self-certified under the DPF. As we continue to expand into other foreign countries and jurisdictions, we may be subject to additional laws and regulations that may affect how we conduct business. We expect that there will continue to be new laws, regulations and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security proposed and enacted in various jurisdictions. For example, Washington State enacted a broadly applicable law to protect the privacy of personal health information known as the “My Health My Data Act,” which generallybroadly requires affirmative consent for the collection, use, or sharing of anydefines “consumer health data.data”, creates a private right of action to allow individuals to sue for violations of the law, imposes stringent consent requirements and grants consumers certain rights with respect to their health data, including to request deletion of their information. Consumer health data is defined to include personal information that is linked or reasonably linkable to a consumer and that identifies a consumer’s past, present, or future physical or mental health status; consumer health data also includes information that is derived or extrapolated from non-health information, such as algorithms and machine learning. Other states, including Connecticut and Nevada, have also passed consumer health data laws, and given the increased focus on the use of health data by entities that are not subject to HIPAA, additional states are expected to pass consumer health privacy laws.
Furthermore, these laws impose substantial requirements that require the expenditure of significant funds and employee time to comply, and additional states and countries are enacting new data privacy and security laws, which will require future expansion of our compliance efforts. We also rely on third parties in relation to the operation of our business, a number of which host or otherwise process somepersonal ofdata thison data.our behalf. In some instances, these third parties have experienced immaterial failures to protect data privacy. There can be no assurances that the privacy and security-related measures and safeguards we have put in place in relation to these third parties will be effective to protect us and/ or the relevant personal information from the risks associated with the third-party processingprocessing, storage, and transmission of such data. Any failureviolation of data or security laws, or of our relevant measures and safeguards, by aour thirdthird-party party to prevent security breachesprocessors could have a material adverse consequenceseffect foron us,our business, result in applicable fines and penalties, damage our reputation, and/ or result in civil claims. We will need to expend additional resources and make significant investments to comply with data privacy and security laws. Our failure to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any federal, state, or international privacy and security laws, regulations, industry standards or other legal obligations relating to data privacy and information security or any failure to prevent security breaches of such data could result in significant liability under applicable laws, cause disruption to our business, harm our reputation, have a material adverse effect on our business, and may result in claims, complaints, liabilities, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, or may require us to change our operations. Any such claims, complaints, proceedings or actions could force us to incur significant expenses in defense of such proceedings or actions, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, and result in the imposition of monetary penalties.
Reliable shipping is essential to our operations. We rely on providers of transport services for reliable and secure point-to-point transport of our products to our customers and for tracking of these shipments. Should a carrier encounter delivery performance issues such as loss, damage or destruction of any of our products, it wouldcould be costly to replace such products in a timely manner and such occurrences may damage our reputation and lead to decreased demand for our products and increased cost and expense to our business. In addition, any significant increase in shipping rates could adversely affect our operating margins and results of operations. Similarly, strikes, severe weather, natural disasters or other service interruptions affecting delivery services we use would adversely affect our ability to deliver our products (or any other products we commercialize in the future) on a timely basis.
The regulations to which we are subject are complex and have tended to become more stringent over time. Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales. In addition, the FDA or other regulatory agencies may change their policies, adopt additional regulations, revise existing regulations, or take other actions that may prevent or delay approval or clearance of our products under development or impact our ability to modify our currently approved or cleared products on a timely basis. We may be found non-compliant as a result of future changes in. or interpretations of, regulations by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. For example, on February 23, 2022, the FDA issued a proposed rule to amend the Quality System Regulation, or QSR, which establishes current good manufacturing practice requirements for medical device manufacturers, to align more closely with the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, standards. This proposal has not yet been finalized or adopted. Accordingly, it is unclear the extent to which this or any other proposals, if adopted, could impose additional or different regulatory requirements on us that could increase the costs of compliance or otherwise create competition that may negatively affect our business.
The FDA, foreign regulatory authorities and notified bodies enforce their regulatory requirements through, among other means, periodic unannounced inspections and audits. We do not know whether we will be found compliant in connection with any future FDA (or foreign regulatory authorities) inspections or notified bodies’ audits. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could jeopardize our ability to sell our products and result in enforcement actions such as: warning letters; fines; injunctions; civil penalties; termination of distribution; recalls or seizures of products; delays in the introduction of products into the market; total or partial suspension of production; refusal to grant future clearances, certifications or approvals; withdrawals or suspensions of current approvals or certifications, resulting in prohibitions on sales of our products; and in the most serious cases, criminal penalties.

The ALLY System, which has received clearance from the FDA and certification in the EU, enables cataract surgeons to complete the laser-assisted procedure seamlessly in a single, sterile environment. The ALLY System is available to all cataract surgeons in the U.S. and EU jurisdictions and has also received regulatory clearance in India, Taiwan, South Korea, as well as certain other countries. In addition, we are pursuing additional marketing or certification applications through our distributors in South Korea and China.
Subject to the transitional provisions and in order to sell our products in EU member states, our products must comply with the general safety and performance requirements of the EU Medical Devices Regulation, which repeals and replaces the EU Medical Devices Directive. Compliance with these requirements is a prerequisite to be able to affix the European Conformity, or CE,CE markmark, to our products, without which they cannot be sold or marketed in the EU. All medical devices placed on the market in the EU must meet the general safety and performance requirements laid down in Annex I to the EU Medical Devices Regulation, including the requirement that a medical device must be designed and manufactured in such a way that, during normal conditions of use, it is suitable for its intended purpose. Medical devices must be safe and effective and must not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients, or the safety and health of users and, where applicable, other persons, provided that any risks which may be associated with their use constitute acceptable risks when weighed against the benefits to the patient and are compatible with a high level of protection of health and safety, taking into account the generally acknowledged state of the art. To demonstrate compliance with the general safety and performance requirements, we must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its (risk) classification. A conformity assessment procedure generally requires the intervention of a notified body. The notified body would typically audit and examine the technical file and the quality system for the manufacture, design and final inspection of our devices. If satisfied that the relevant product conforms to the relevant general safety and performance requirements, the notified body issues a certificate of conformity, which the manufacturer uses as a basis for its own declaration of conformity. The manufacturer may then apply the CE mark to the device, which allows the device to be placed on the market throughout the EU. The aforementioned EU rules are generally applicable in the EEA which consists of the 27 EU member states plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we would be unable to affix the CE mark to our products, which would prevent us from selling them within the EU and these three countries.
InOn the UK, on DecemberJune 16, 2024, the UK government published2025, an amendment to the Medical Devices Regulations 2002, or UK Medical Devices RegulationsRegulations, became applicable which is intended to clarify and strengthen the post-market surveillance requirements for medical devices in Great Britain. ThisIt amendmentalso willintends cometo bring the UK regulatory framework for medical devices, which is based on the EU Medical Devices Directive, into forcecloser onalignment Junewith 16,the 2025.EU Medical Devices Regulation. In addition, the MHRA launched a consultation from November 14, 2024 to January 5, 2025 on proposals to update the pre-market requirements for medical devices in Great Britain. TheOn July 22, 2025, the MHRA haspublished stateda response to the consultation confirming that it will incorporate feedbackthe toresults of this consultation into new UK legislation on pre-market requirements for medical devices in Great Britain. TheA draft of the new legislation is expected tothis come into force in 2026.year. Under the UK Medical Devices Regulations, in order to be lawfully placed on the Great Britain market, class I (non-sterile, non-measuring or non-re-useable) medical devices need to be “UKCA” self-certified, and other medical devices need to be “UKCA” certified by a UK approved body. However, certain medical devices in compliance with: (1) the EU Medical Devices Directive can continue to be placed on the Great Britain market until the sooner of certificate expiration or June 30, 2028; or (2) the EU Medical Devices Regulation can continue to be placed on the Great Britain market until the sooner of certificate expiration or June 30, 2030. The MHRA has confirmed that it intends to launch a consultation regarding the indefinite recognition of such medical devices in Great Britain which is expected this year. Medical devices also need to bear a physical UKCA mark in order to be lawfully placed on the Great Britain market. However, onethe ofMHRA has confirmed in its response to the keyconsultation topicson pre-market requirements for medical devices in theGreat MHRA’sBritain recentthat consultationit was to obtain feedback on whetherintends to remove the requirement for a medical device and its labellinglabeling (for example packaging and instructions for use) in Great Britain to bear a physical UKCA mark. Instead of requiring a medical device and its labellinglabeling to bear a UKCA mark, manufacturers would be required to assign a unique design identification, or UDI,(“UDI”), to a medical devicesdevice and register the UDI in a publicly accessible database before theythe aremedical device is placed on the Great Britain market. If this change is implemented, we may no longer be required to affix the physical UKCA mark to our medical devices, but we may need to assign and affix a UDI.UDI, and register the UDI in a publicly accessible database.
The methods used in, and the facilities used for, the manufacture of our products must comply with the FDA’s QSR,QMSR, which is a complex regulatory scheme that covers the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, process controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, handling, storage, distribution, installation, servicing and shipping of medical devices. Furthermore, we are required to verify that our suppliers maintain facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality standards and applicable regulatory requirements. The FDA enforces the QSRQMSR through periodic announced or unannounced inspections of medical device manufacturing facilities, which may include the facilities of subcontractors. Our products are also subject to similar state regulations and various laws and regulations of foreign countries governing manufacturing.
Any of these occurrences may significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects. In addition, any further disruptions related to public health crises, such as a resurgence of COVID-19,crises may increase the likelihood that we encounter such difficulties or delays in initiating, enrolling, conducting or completing our planned and ongoing clinical trials. Many of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval or certification of our product candidates.
From time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced in Congress that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the regulation of medical devices. The FDA may change its clearance and approval policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, which may prevent or delay approval or clearance of our future products under development or impact our ability to modify our currently cleared products on a timely basis.
From time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced in Congress that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the regulation of medical devices. The FDA may change its clearance and approval policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, which may prevent or delay approval or clearance of our future products under development or impact our ability to modify our currently cleared products on a timely basis. For example, in November 2018, FDA officials announced steps that the FDA intended to take to modernize the premarket notification pathway under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Among other things, the FDA announced that it planned to develop proposals to drive manufacturers utilizing the 510(k) pathway toward the use of newer predicates. These proposals included plans to potentially sunset certain older devices that were used as predicates under the 510(k) clearance pathway, and to potentially publish a list of devices that have been cleared on the basis of demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices that are more than 10 years old. These proposals have not yet been finalized or adopted, and the FDA may work with Congress to implement such proposals through legislation. Accordingly, it is unclear the extent to which any proposals, if adopted, could impose additional regulatory requirements on us that could delay our ability to obtain new 510(k) clearances, increase the costs of compliance, or restrict our ability to maintain our current clearances, or otherwise create competition that may negatively affect our business.
In September 2019, the FDA issued revised final guidance describing an optional “safety and performance based” premarket review pathway for manufacturers of “certain, well-understood device types” to demonstrate substantial equivalence under the 510(k) clearance pathway by showing that such device meets objective safety and performance criteria established by the FDA, thereby obviating the need for manufacturers to compare the safety and performance of their medical devices to specific predicate devices in the clearance process. The FDA maintains a list device types appropriate for the “safety and performance based” pathway and continues to develop product-specific guidance documents that identify the performance criteria for each such device type, as well as the recommended testing methods where feasible. The FDA may establish performance criteria for classes of devices for which we or our competitors seek or currently have received clearance, and it is unclear the extent to which such performance standards, if established, could impact our ability to obtain new 510(k) clearances or otherwise create competition that may negatively affect our business.
In addition, FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDA in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products. For example, on February 2, 2026, the FDA’s final rule implementing the FDA’s Quality Management System Regulation, or QMSR, became effective. The QMSR, which replaced the FDA’s former Quality System Regulation, or QSR, sets forth the FDA’s cGMP requirements for medical devices, and among other things, incorporates by reference certain elements of the quality management system requirements of ISO 13485:2016. Although the FDA has stated that the standards contained in ISO 13485:2016 are substantially similar to those set forth in the QSR, and although our quality management system is designed to comply with ISO:13485, the FDA has indicated that ISO:13485 certification alone will not ensure compliance under the QMSR, nor will ISO certification exempt manufacturers from FDA inspection. The QMSR also includes certain compliance obligations, such as those relating to unique device identification, product traceability, and maintenance of complaint and service records, that align more closely with the FDA’s existing medical device requirements than with ISO standards. Accordingly, it remains unclear the extent to which the QMSR may impose additional or different regulatory requirements on us that could increase the costs of compliance or otherwise negatively affect our business. Any new statutes, regulations or revisions or reinterpretations of existing regulations may impose additional costs or lengthen review times of any future products or make it more difficult to obtain approval for, manufacture, market or distribute our products. We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations, statutes, legal interpretation or policies, when and if promulgated, enacted or adopted may have on our business in the future. Such changes could, among other things, require additional testing prior to obtaining clearance or approval; changes to manufacturing methods; recall, replacement or discontinuance of our products; or additional record keeping. The FDA’s and other regulatory authorities’ policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay regulatory clearance or approval of our product candidates. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may be subject to enforcement action and we may not achieve or sustain profitability.
In addition, the regulatory landscape related to medical devices in the EU recently evolved.evolved and continues to undergo legislative changes. On May 26, 2021, the EU Medical Devices Regulation became applicable, and repealed and replaced the EU Medical Devices Directive and the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive. Unlike directives, which must be implemented into the national laws of the EU member states, regulations are directly applicable (i.e., without the need for adoption of EU member state laws implementing them) in all EU member states and are intended to eliminate current differences in the regulation of medical devices among EU member states. The EU Medical Devices Regulation, among other things, is intended to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable and sustainable regulatory framework across the EU for medical devices and ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation. These requirements are in active implementation and may change as the European Commission adopts additional implementing acts and considers targeted revisions to related medical device rules. In addition, on December 16, 2025, the European Commission published a targeted revision proposal of the MDR to address structural issues, certification delays, and burdens on Small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”). The proposal will enter the ordinary legislative procedure and is not expected to be adopted before 2027.
Disruptions at the FDA and other government agencies and notified bodies caused by funding shortagesshortages, staffing limitations, or global health concerns could hinder their ability to hire, retain or deploy key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new or modified products from being developed, cleared or approved or commercialized in a timely manner or at all, which could negatively impact our business.
The ability of the FDA, foreign regulatory agencies and notified bodies to review and clear, certify or approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, statutory, regulatory, and policy changes, the FDA’s, foreign regulatory agencies’ and notified bodies’ ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and other events that may otherwise affect the FDA’s, foreign regulatory agencies’ and notified bodies’ ability to perform routine functions. Average review times at the FDA, foreign regulatory agencies and notified bodies have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of other government agencies that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Disruptions at the FDA, foreign regulatory agencies and notified bodies may also slow the time necessary for new medical devices or modifications to cleared, certified or approved medical devices to be reviewed and cleared, certified or approved by necessary government agencies (or other notified bodies), which would adversely affect our business. For example, over the last several years, the U.S. government has shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, have had to furlough critical FDA employees and stop critical activities. In addition, the current U.S. Presidential administration has issued certain policies and Executive Orders directed towards reducing the employee headcount and costs associated with U.S. administrative agencies, including the FDA, and it remains unclear the degree to which these efforts may limit or otherwise adversely affect the FDA’s ability to conduct their activities.
Separately,If inthere response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA postponed most inspections of domestic and foreign manufacturing facilities at various points. Even though the FDA has since resumed standard inspection operations of domestic facilities where feasible, the FDA has continued to monitor and implement changes to its inspectional activities to ensure the safety of its employees and those of the firms it regulates, and any resurgence of the COVID-19 virus or emergence of new variants may lead to further inspectional delays. Regulatory authorities outside the United States have also adopted similar restrictions or other policy measures at times in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and may adopt similar restrictions or other policy measures in the future. Ifwere a prolonged government shutdown occurs,in response to a health pandemic or otherwise, or if global health concernsconcerns, continuefunding toshortages or staffing limitations prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities or notified bodies from conducting their regular inspections, audits, reviews, or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA, or other regulatory authorities or notified bodies, to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In the EU, notified bodies must be officially designated to certify products and services in accordance with the EU Medical Devices Regulation. Their designation process, which is significantly stricter under the new Regulation, has experienced considerable delays due tofollowing the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite a recent increase in designations, the current number of notified bodies designated under the new Regulation remains significantly lower than the number of notified bodies designated under the previous regime. The current designated notified bodies are therefore facing a backlog of requests as a consequence of which review times have lengthened. This situation may impact the way we are conducting our business in the EU and the EEA and the ability of our notified body to timely review and process our regulatory submissions and perform its audits.
Moreover, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. For example, the Budget Control Act of 2011, among other things, included reductions to Medicare payments to providers Additionally, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitals, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. WeMore expectrecently, thatthe additionalOne U.S.Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law in July 2025, which also included significant reforms to Medicaid, including an estimated $1 trillion in reduced federal healthcareMedicaid reformspending measuresfrom will2025 bethrough adopted2034, the imposition of work requirements for certain adult enrollees, more frequent eligibility redeterminations, and increased cost-sharing for beneficiaries.

Our current product portfolio includes the LENSAR Laser System, or LLS, and the ALLY Robotic Cataract Laser Treatment System™, or ALLY System, (collectively, the Systems) and its associated consumable components. The consumable portion of the system consists of a disposable patient interface device kit, or PID kit, and the system also requires a procedure license. Each procedure on each system requires the use of a PID kit. The PID kit includes a suction ring, vacuum filter and fluidic connection that are designed to facilitate placement of the laser while minimizing a patient’s discomfort, intraocular pressure and trauma to the retina and maintaining corneal integrity. The procedure license is downloaded onto the system as required or as purchased by the customer. The system will not perform a procedure without a valid license. We sell licenses individually and also offer licenses in a subscription package with minimum monthly obligations and the ability to increase procedure numbers as the practice grows to address occasional increases in demand. We believe this structure allows the surgeon to implement a budget while also providing us with a predictable revenue stream.
We are focused on continuous innovation and have launched our proprietary next generation ALLY System. The ALLY System is designed to transform premium cataract surgery by utilizing our advanced robotic technologies with the ability to perform the entire procedure in a sterile operating room or in-office surgical suite, delivering operational efficiencies and reducing overhead. Our ALLY System received clearance from the FDA in June 2022, and we executed a controlled and targeted initial launch of the ALLY System beginning in August 2022. The ALLY System is available to all U.S. and EU cataract surgeons and has also received regulatory clearance in India, Taiwan, South Korea, as well as certain other countries. In 2022, we transitioned from manufacturing and selling our LLS to focus on our ALLY System. In addition, we are pursuing additional marketing or certification applications through our distributors in South Korea and China, but this process could take multiple years. Our growth, market presence and ability to sell the ALLY System will depend on whether the ALLY System receives additional regulatory clearances or certifications and the timing of these clearances or certifications, among other factors. Our future revenue and cash flows will depend on, among other factors, our installed base of Systems and the timing of and applicable clearances for our ALLY System.
We have built and are continuing to grow our commercial organization, which includes a direct sales force in the United States and distributors in Germany,Europe China,and India, South KoreaAsia and other targeted international markets. We believe there is significant opportunity for us to expand our presence in these countries and other markets and regions, subject to applicable regulatory clearance or certification. In the United States, we sell our products through a direct sales organization that, as of December 31, 2024,2025, consisted of approximately 6570 commercial professionals, including regional sales managers, clinical applications and outcomes specialists, field service, marketing, technical and customer support personnel. We manufacture our Systems at a facility in Orlando, Florida. We purchase custom and off-the-shelf components from a number of suppliers, including some single-source suppliers. We purchase the majority of our components and major assemblies through purchase orders with limited long-term supply agreements and generally do not maintain large volumes of finished goods. We strive to maintain enough inventory of our various component parts to avoid the impact of potential disruptions in the supply chain; however, availability of these components can be outside of our control.
Our revenue increased from $42.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $53.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024,2024 to $58.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 27%.9%. Our net losses were $14.4$31.4 million and $31.4$34.3 million for the years ended December 31, 20232024 and 2024,2025, respectively. A significant component of our net loss in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $10.3 million and $21.4 million, respectively. Our total installed base of LLS and ALLY Systems was approximately 385435 as of December 31, 2024.2025.
Termination of Merger Agreement with Alcon
On March 23, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Alcon Research, LLC, or Alcon and VMI Option Merger Sub, Inc., or Merger Sub, which provided that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company, which we refer to as the Merger, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcon.
On May 21, 2025, we and Alcon each received a request for additional information and documentary material from the FTC in connection with the FTC’s review of the Merger. Following its investigation, the FTC indicated its intention to seek to enjoin the Merger. On March 16, 2026, we entered into a Termination and Mutual Release Agreement, or the Termination Agreement, with Alcon and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, effective immediately. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Alcon agreed that we will retain the $10.0 million cash deposit provided to us and being held by us pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The parties also agreed to a mutual release of claims, relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein or thereby.
In connection with the Merger Agreement, we have incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $17.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2025. Of the $17.1 million in acquisition-related costs incurred, $13.8 million is classified as accounts payable and $0.2 million is classified as accrued liabilities on the balance sheet at December 31, 2025. Certain amounts of these acquisition-related costs were contingent upon the successful closing of the Merger. During the three months ending March 31, 2026, the Company will reduce acquisition-related costs and accounts payable by approximately $4.3 million. Furthermore, during the three months ending March 31, 2026, $5.0 million of accounts payable will be reclassified from current to long-term based upon extended payment terms provided by our acquisition advisers.
supply chain shortages, labor market shiftsshifts, tariffs, and price increases resulting from various macroeconomic factors;
Global economic uncertainty and other factorsfactors, including tariff policies, have impeded global supply chains, resulted in longer lead times and delays in procuring component parts and raw materials, and resulted in inflationary cost increases in certain raw materials, labor and transportation. We expect these inflationary impacts to continue for the foreseeable future. A high rate of inflation in the futurefuture, whether due to actual or uncertain impacts from increased tariffs or other trade barriers or other market volatility, may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain and increase our gross margin or decrease our operating expenses as a percentage of our revenues if our selling prices of our products do not increase as much or more than our increase in costs.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of acquisition-related costs, personnel costs, such as salaries and wages, including stock-based compensation and benefits, professional fees, marketing, insurance, travel and other expenses. We are continuing to grow our sales efforts in the United States. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in association with our planned growth.
Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition. On July 4, 2025, new U.S. tax legislation was signed into law (known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” or “OBBBA”) which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, but many are generally not effective until 2026. Based on the Company’s current analysis of the provisions, the Company determined that the tax law changes do not have a material impact on the Company’s 2025 financial statements. However, the Company will continue to evaluate their impact of such tax law changes on future periods.
Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition. Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the option of expensing all research and development expenditures in the current year, instead requiring amortization over five years for expenditures in the United States and over fifteen years for foreign-based expenditures, pursuant to Section 174 of the Code, or Section 174. The impact of Section 174 on the Company’s cash from operations depends primarily on the amount of research and development expenditures incurred. Section 174 has not had a material impact on the Company since its effective date. The Company will continue to review the application of Section 174 (together with any relevant Internal Revenue Service guidance, proposed legislation and Treasury Department regulations relevant thereto) and any impact on the Company’s cash from operations, and will adjust the estimates as necessary.
Product revenue for the year ended December 31, 20242025 compared to the year ended December 31, 20232024 increased by $9.4$4.9 million, or 30%.12%. The increase was primarily attributable to higher Systems sales (including the ability to sell the ALLY System in the EU beginning in August 2024), which amounted to a $3.8 million increase, and increased procedure volume, which amounted to a $5.6$6.1 million increase, offset by lower Systems sales, which amounted to a $1.2 million decrease, during the year ended December 31, 2024.2025. Placements of our Systems, especially outside the U.S., was negatively impacted by the twelve-month disruption we experienced while operating under the previously contemplated acquisition by Alcon. We expect to return to a more normal System placement cadence, but this may take several quarters.
Service revenue for the year ended December 31, 20242025 compared to the year ended December 31, 20232024 increased by $0.8 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased number of Systems placements.
Lease revenue for the year ended December 31, 20242025 compared to the year ended December 31, 20232024 increaseddecreased by $1.1$0.8 million, or 17%,10%, primarily due to increaseddecreased leased systems.LLS. Lease revenue is generated by Systems placementsplacements, primarily in the United States.
The U.S. government has recently implemented significant changes in U.S. trade policy and taken certain actions that have impacted our business, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States. Some of these changes have triggered retaliatory actions by affected countries that could negatively impact demand for our products in these regions. The imposition of tariffs have increased the cost of the raw materials used in our ALLY Systems and PIDs. To date, we have not increased sales prices to our customers resulting in a reduction in our gross margin.
Cost of product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $4.4 million, or 31%. The increase was primarily attributable to the number of Systems sales, which have a lower gross margin than procedure licenses, as well as the full costing of raw materials for ALLY Systems in 2024, whereas some raw materials utilized in manufacturing were previously charged to research and development expenses.
Cost of serviceproduct revenue for the year ended December 31, 20242025 compared to the year ended December 31, 20232024 increased by $1.4$2.3 millionmillion, or 28%.13%. ThisThe increase was primarily attributable to the increased number of Systems placements.sales, which have a lower gross margin than procedure licenses.
We import certain raw materials for our ALLY System and PIDs from regions that have been impacted by the tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. Tariff policies have resulted in an overall increase in the cost of our products by at least 10% and had a negative impact to our gross profit margin.
Cost of leaseservice revenue for the year ended December 31, 20242025 compared to the year ended December 31, 20232024 increased by $0.8 million, or 40%,12%. This increase was primarily dueattributable to anthe increase in theincreased number of newly leased Systems between the years, which have a higher depreciation cost than older and some fully depreciated leased Systems.placements.
Cost of lease revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $0.6 million, or 20%, primarily due to an increase in the number of newly leased Systems between the years, which have a higher depreciation cost than older and some fully depreciated leased Systems.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 20242025 were $26.5$45.2 million, an increase of $0.4$18.7 million, or 1%,70%, compared to $26.1$26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. General and administrative expenses increased in the period due to recording an Employee Retention Credit, or ERC, of $1.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, which significantly reduced expenses in 2023. Excluding the ERC, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased2025 due to loweracquisition-related stock-basedcosts compensationof expenseapproximately $17.1 million incurred in conjunction with the previously contemplated Merger with Alcon and lower cash-based general and administrative expenses partially offset by a 16% increase inincreased selling and marketing expenses in 2024 supporting the continued ALLY System growth in placements and procedures. We expect our selling and marketing expenses will continue to increase in the future to support the continued growth in ALLY System placements.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $0.3 million, or 5%, compared to $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 13%, compared to $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024.
EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is included in this filing because we believe that EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of actual results on a comparable basis with historical results. Adjusted EBITDA is also a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as EBITDA and further excluding stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, acquisition-related costs, and impairment of intangible assets and the ERC,assets, provides meaningful supplemental information for investors when evaluating our results and comparing us to peer companies, as stock-based compensation expense and change in fair value of warrant liabilities are significant non-cash charges and impairment of intangible assets is a non-cash charge that is not indicative of our core operating results and theacquisition-related ERCcosts isare not recurring. We use these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance and, therefore, any non-GAAP measures we use may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Investors should not consider our non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, we had net losses of $31.4$34.3 million and $14.4$31.4 million, respectively, and, as of December 31, 2024,2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $143.3$177.6 million. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities had a significant impact of $(21.410.3) million on net loss in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024,2025, and it is difficult to predict how the fair value of warrant liabilities will impact our future results. The change in fair value of the warrant liability was a result of an increase in the Company’s stock price of approximately 155%34% during 2024.2025. We expect to continue to incur losses and operating cash outflows for the near-term futurefuture. In addition, acquisition-related costs have been significant. As of December 31, 2025, $17.1 million in acquisition-related costs have been incurred, of which $13.8 million is classified as weaccounts continuepayable and $0.2 million is classified as accrued liabilities on the balance sheet at December 31, 2025. Certain amounts of these acquisition-related costs were contingent upon the successful closing of the Merger. During the three months ending March 31, 2026, the Company will reduce acquisition-related costs and accounts payable by approximately $4.3 million. Furthermore, during the three months ending March 31, 2026, $5.0 million of accounts payable will be reclassified from current to buildlong-term based upon extended payment terms provided by our commercialacquisition and clinical infrastructure and pursue further regulatory clearances of our ALLY System.advisers.
In 2022, we transitioned from manufacturing and selling our LLS to focus on our ALLY System. The ALLY System has received regulatory approval in the United States, EU, India, Taiwan, South Korea, as well as certain other countries.countries, In addition, we are pursuing additional marketing orand certification applications through our distributors in Souththe Korea or China, but this process could take multiple years.EU. Our growth, market presence and ability to sell the ALLY System will depend on whether the ALLY System receives additional regulatory clearances or certifications and the timing of these clearance or certifications, among other factors. In addition, our future revenue and cash flows will depend on, among other factors, our installed base of SystemsSystems, acquisition-related costs, and the timing of and applicable clearances for our ALLY System.
We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase from current levels to support the expansion efforts in the U.S. and internationally for the ALLY System.System offset by a decrease in acquisition-related costs associated with the terminated Merger Agreement. The successful commercialization of the ALLY System depends in part on the Company’s ability to produce the ALLY System in sufficient quantities, within requested timing and at an acceptable price to satisfy customer demand.
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash from the sale and lease of our SystemsSystems, and the sale of our consumables. We maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of insured limits. As discussed above, ongoing global supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressurespressures, acquisition-related costs, recently enacted tariffs, and other macroeconomic conditions have negatively affected our capital requirements and more operating capital may be needed to fund our operations in the future. AsWe have also experienced reduced activity by our distributors following the announcement of Decemberthe 31,Merger, 2024,and we expecthave adjusted our current cash, cash equivalents,purchasing and investments,production togetherto with cash generated from the future sale and lease ofmanage our products,inventory accordingly. Our results could be adversely impacted if our distributors do not resume their sales activity to beprevious sufficient to operate our business.levels. Based on our current operating plan, we believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand to support current operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of the financial statements included in this Annual Report.
On March 11, 2026, the Company entered into a Priority Credit Line Agreement (the “PCL Agreement”), by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A (“Wells Fargo”). The PCL Agreement provides for a revolving, non-purpose margin credit facility, secured by a first-priority lien on a designated brokerage account maintained at Wells Fargo (the “Collateral Account”), of an amount based on the collateral value in the Collateral Account. Based on the collateral value in the Collateral Account, the Company is permitted to borrow 90-95% of the Collateral Account value under the PCL Agreement. Borrowings under the PCL Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either (i) a fixed rate based on the Treasury Yield plus an applicable margin, over a designated term, or (ii) a variable rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus an applicable margin. The PCL Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to make any payment upon demand or otherwise when due or deposit additional collateral when required under the PCL Agreement; initiation of a bankruptcy petition or other insolvency proceeding; any event of default under any security agreement executed in connection with the Collateral Account; or the insufficiency of the value of the financial assets in the Collateral Account.
We expect our revenue and expenses to increase in connection with our on-going operating activities, particularly as we continue to execute on our growth strategy,strategy (including expansion of our sales and customer support teams, as well as increasing our fleet of equipment under lease.lease). The primary factors determining our cash needs are the funding of operations, which we expect to continue to expand as the business grows, and enhancing our product offerings through the commercialization of the ALLY System. Our future liquidity needs, and ability to address those needs, will largely be determined by the success of our commercial efforts and those of our distributors; the ongoing impact of global macroeconomic conditionsconditions, tariffs and other supply chain issues on our business; and the timing, scope and magnitude of our commercial and development activities.
Our ability to raise additional funds will depend,depend on, among other factors, on financial, economic and market conditions, many of which are outside of our control, and we may be unable to raise financing when needed, or on terms favorable to us. If the necessary funds are not available from these sources, we may have to delay, reduce or suspend the scope of our sales and marketing efforts, research and development activities, or other components of our operations. Any of these events could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business and financial goals or to achieve or maintain profitability and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the extent and duration of the impact that global economic uncertainty may have on our stock price and on those of other companies in our industry is highly uncertain and may make us look less attractive to investors and, as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, our stock price may be more volatile, and our ability to raise capital could be impaired, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity and financial position.
Our material contractual obligations and commercial commitments at December 31, 2025 primarily consist of $2.7 million in operating lease liabilities for our facility lease and $13.9 million in remaining minimum purchase obligations for inventory components for the manufacture and supply of certain components within the next 18 months. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, $17.1 million in acquisition-related costs have been incurred, of which $13.8 million is classified as accounts payable and $0.2 million is classified as accrued liabilities on the balance sheet at December 31, 2025. Certain amounts of these acquisition-related costs were contingent upon the successful closing of the Merger. During the three months ending March 31, 2026, the Company will reduce acquisition-related costs and accounts payable by approximately $4.3 million. Furthermore, during the three months ending March 31, 2026, $5.0 million of accounts payable will be reclassified from current to long-term based upon extended payment terms provided by our acquisition advisers.
Our material contractual obligations and commercial commitments at December 31, 2024 primarily consist of $2.6 million in operating lease liabilities for our facility lease, $0.7 million in lease obligations for additional facility space not recorded on the balance sheet, and $12.2 million in remaining minimum purchase obligations for inventory components for the manufacture and supply of certain components within the next 15 months. Our contractual obligations have increased due to supply chain issues that have necessitated us to enter into longer-term and more expensive per unit contracts to build and source inventory to satisfy the expected commercial demand for the ALLY System, if approved by regulatory authorities or certified by notified bodies in the applicable regions. We expect to meet these requirements through cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operations. Some of these amounts are based on management’s estimates and assumptions about these obligations, including their duration, timing, anticipated actions by third parties and other factors. Because these estimates and assumptions are necessarily subjective, the obligations we will actually pay in future periods may vary from those described.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $2.3 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $31.4 million and a decrease in net operating assets of $3.0 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $32.2 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation, amortization, impairment of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Net operating assets decreased due to accounts receivable and inventories offset with accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 20232025 was $9.7$14.8 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $14.4$34.3 million and a decrease in net operating assets of $7.8$1.1 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $12.5$18.3 million.

In the United States, the regulatory framework for AI Technologies faces significant uncertainty. At the federal level, Congress has yet to enact meaningful AI legislation. Instead, federal policy on AI has been shaped by a series of executive orders that have shifted priorities and requirements substantially depending on the administration in power. In the absence of federal AI legislation, states have filled the void by enacting laws regulating different aspects of AI Technologies. For example, California has enacted laws and regulations related to AI safety protocols, reporting and transparency, among other AI-related topics. In addition,see in full comparisonColorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act will require developers and deployers of “high-risk” AI systems to implement certain safeguards against algorithmic discrimination (among other requirements),Utah’s Artificial Intelligence Policy Act establishes disclosure requirements and accountability measures for the use of generative AI in certain consumer interaction, and the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act prohibits the development and deployment of AI systems for certain purposes while establishing a regulatory sandbox. Moreover,state AI laws such as Colorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act andvarious comprehensive state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), regulate the use of automated decision-making technology that results in legal or similarly significant effects on individuals, and provide rights to individuals with respect to that automated decision making. Many states have also enacted sector-specific AI laws, including related to the use of AI for health-related purposes.

The announcement of the termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or our stock price.
Our announcement of having entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 23, 2025, by and among the Company, Alcon Research, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Alcon”), and VMI Option Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcon (“Merger Sub”) has caused, and may continue to cause, a material disruption to our business. We also announced that the Merger Agreement has been terminated by us and Alcon, as described below. We are subject to several risks as a result of the announcement and subsequent termination of the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, the following:
In connection with the Merger, certain purported stockholders of the Company have sent demand letters (the “Demands”) alleging deficiencies and/or omissions regarding the disclosures made in the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on May 7, 2025 or the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on May 19, 2025. TheIn addition, certain purported stockholders mayfiled nota viewverified complaint to compel the Company’sinspection cooperative actions in response to the Demands, such as the Company’s additional disclosure filed with the SEC on June 25, 2025, as sufficient. In addition, we have received a demand from a purported stockholder seeking to inspect certain corporateof books and records,records in the Delaware Court of Chancery in order to investigate, among other things, purported breaches of fiduciary duty by members of the Company’s board of directors in connection with the Merger.Merger, Thein samean stockholderaction captioned Schaper v. Lensar, Inc., C.A. No. 2025-0749-RUA. On July 20, 2026, the stockholders voluntarily dismissed their complaint without prejudice. We may also be subject to additional demands or filed aactions verified complaintrelated to compelthe termination of the inspectionMerger of books and records in the Delaware Court of Chancery.Agreement. These actions could have the effect of increasing the Company’s costs, diverting our management’s attention and resources, delaying or adversely affecting the Merger or resulting in the payment of damages, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, we had net losses of $31.4 million and $34.3 million, respectively, and for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 and 2026, we had net losses of $27.3$29.1 million and net income of $36.3$39.9 million, respectively. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $141.2$137.7 million. We expect to continue to incur losses for the near-term future as a result of building our commercial and clinical infrastructure, pursuing further U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and other regulatory body clearance or certification of and our further commercial launch of our proprietary, next generation cataract treatment system, known as our ALLY System, and investing in research and development. In addition, as a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. We cannot make assurances that we will ever generate sufficient revenue from our operations to achieve profitability, and even if we achieve profitability, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any substantial period of time. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively affect the value of our securities and our ability to raise capital and continue operations.
Additionally, we rely exclusively on a network of independent distributors to generate sales and leases of our Systems as well as purchases of our consumables and licensed applications outside of the United States. For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, one customer accounted for approximately 14% of our revenue. This customer concentration exposes us to a material adverse effect if any of these significant distributors were to significantly reduce purchases for any reason or favor competitors or new market participants. If a dispute arises with a distributor or if a distributor is terminated by us or goes out of business, it may take time to locate an alternative distributor, to seek appropriate regulatory approvals and to train new personnel to market our Systems upon receiving regulatory clearance or certification in the applicable region, as well as our ability to sell those Systems in the region formerly serviced by such terminated distributor could be harmed. In addition, our international distributors may be unable to successfully market and sell our products and may not devote sufficient time and resources to support the marketing, sales, education and training efforts that we believe are necessary to enable the products to develop, achieve or sustain market acceptance. Any of these factors could reduce our revenues from affected markets, increase our costs in those markets or damage our reputation. In addition, if an independent distributor were to depart and be retained by one of our competitors, we may be unable to prevent that distributor from helping competitors solicit business from our existing customers, which could further adversely affect us. As a result of our reliance on third-party distributors, we may be subject to disruptions and increased costs due to factors beyond our control, including labor strikes, third-party error and other issues. If the services of any of these third-party distributors become unsatisfactory, we may experience delays in meeting our customers’ demands and we may be unable to find a suitable replacement on a timely basis or on commercially reasonable terms. Any failure to deliver products in a timely manner may damage our reputation and could cause us to lose potential customers.
We expect our revenues and expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to execute on our business strategy, including investment in our sales and customer support teams. The primary factors determining our cash needs are the funding of operations, which we expect to continue to expand as the business grows, and enhancing our product offerings through the research and development, further regulatory clearances and launches of the ALLY System. Our future liquidity needs, and ability to address those needs, will largely be determined by the success of our commercial efforts and those of our distributors; the timing, scope and magnitude of our commercial and development activities; and the timing of further regulatory clearance or certification of our ALLY System. We have also experienced negative effects on our capital requirements from supply chain interruptions, and we expect that supply chain disruptions will negatively affect our capital requirements and the availability of funds to finance those requirements in the future. Tariffs have resulted in increased costs on various components within the ALLY System and PIDs. As we have not passed on these additional costs to our customers, we have experienced a negative impact on our gross margin, which may continue to the extent we take this approach in future periods. Any tariff refunds we receive, such as refunds of IEEPA tariffs, may not fully offset related costs. In addition, market conditions impacting financial institutions could impact our ability to access some or all of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and we may be unable to obtain alternative funding when and as needed and on acceptable terms, if at all.
Furthermore, if we issue equity securities to raise additional capital, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. For example, in May 2023, we sold to NR-GRI Partners, LP, or NR-GRI, shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, or Warrants, that collectively represented approximately 50.4%50.1% of our total outstanding shares of common stock based on our shares outstanding as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, assuming full conversion of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and full exercise of the Warrants for cash, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the SPA. So long as NR-GRI and its affiliates collectively beneficially own at least twenty percent of the securities issued pursuant to the SPA, including the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, we may not, without the consent of NR-GRI, liquidate, dissolve, or wind up our affairs or effect a merger or sale of the Company or other Fundamental Transaction (as defined in Note 11, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report); create, authorize, or issue shares of capital stock that are senior or pari passu to the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock; complete an acquisition with consideration above $1.0 million; incur debt in excess of $1.0 million; change our line of business; or enter into certain related-party transactions. The Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, and holders of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock will participate with the holders of the common stock on an as-converted basis to the extent any dividends are declared on common stock. Holders of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock are also entitled to redemption rights under certain circumstances. The redemption rights and liquidation preferences assigned to holders of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, and any other repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we may assign to holders of preferred stock in the future, could affect the residual value of the common stock.
Our debt arrangements contain certain covenants and restrictions that may limit our flexibility in operating our business, and any failure to satisfy those covenants and restrictions could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
The agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”) contains various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions that limit our ability to engage in specific types of transactions, including limitations on our ability to:
incur liens; incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or make payment on certain debt; pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make certain investments, including loans to other parties and forming new subsidiaries; make certain capital expenditures; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; transfer or sell assets; and/or merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate.
As of August 13, 2026, no revolving credit loans were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. To the extent our cash flow from operations are needed to satisfy the payment of principal and interest on our debt, we will have less availability from such cash flow to fund operations, capital expenditures, and future business opportunities.
The interest rates on any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be variable and therefore we will be exposed to changes in interest rates, which could materially impact our ability to make interest payments as well as our results of operations and financial condition. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may need to refinance our debt, dispose of assets or issue equity to obtain necessary funds. We do not know whether we would be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all. A failure by us or our subsidiaries to comply with the agreements governing our indebtedness could result in an event of default under such indebtedness and its acceleration by the lenders, which could adversely affect our ability to respond to changes in our business and manage our operations.
In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum of $3.0 million in cash on deposit with Salem Five Cents Savings Bank until we demonstrate compliance with a minimum EBITDA covenant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and to be in compliance with a 1.25 to 1.00 debt service coverage ratio commencing with the earlier of March 31, 2027 and the first fiscal quarter in which the revolving credit facility is drawn.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of the agreements governing our indebtedness, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be due and payable and exercise other remedies as set forth in the agreements. If any of our indebtedness were to be accelerated and/or our lenders were to exercise other remedies, there can be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to satisfy the accelerated obligations and any related amounts in full, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
DebtAny financing,additional ifdebt available,financing or equity that we raise may involvealso covenantscontain restrictingterms that restrict our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. Any debt financingdebt, or additionalare equity that we raise may contain terms that areotherwise not favorable to us or our stockholders. In addition, if we raise additional capital through collaboration, licensing or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our products, potential products or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we cannot raise capital on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, changes in our supplier relationships or unanticipated customer requirements. Any of these events could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business and financial goals or to achieve or maintain profitability and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Insurance agencies or insurers have recognized the use of advanced technologies during cataract surgery for their ability to provide patients with a reduced dependency on glasses or contact lenses after surgery. However the use of these advanced technologies is not part of the covered services provided by insurers. Patients may elect to have these advanced technologies used during their cataract procedure as a patient or private-pay part of their procedure. The ALLY System is an elective advanced technology that qualifies for patient or private-pay when used during cataract surgery, but does not qualify as a covered service. When the patient elects to have the ALLY System to be used during cataract surgery, the standard portion of the procedure is paid for by the third-party payor and the patient pays for the advanced or premium part of the procedure.
AdequateTherefore, adequate coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors, including government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, private insurance plans and managed care programs, for certain procedures using our ALLY System or other products we may develop in the future, if approved, is central to the acceptance and adoption of these products. Hospitals, healthcare facilities, physicians and other healthcare providers that may purchase and use our ALLY System generally rely on third-party payors to pay for a part of the costs and fees associated with certain procedures using our ALLY System. If third-party payors reduce their levels of payment, if our costs of production increase faster than increases in reimbursement levels or if third-party payors deny reimbursement for procedures using our ALLY System, our ALLY System may not be adopted or accepted by hospitals, healthcare facilities, physicians or other healthcare providers and the prices paid for a procedure using our ALLY System may decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
On June 16, 2025, an amendment to the Medical Devices Regulations 2002, or UK Medical Devices Regulations, became applicable which is intended to clarify and strengthen the post-market surveillance requirements for medical devices in Great Britain. It also intends to bring the UK regulatory framework for medical devices, which is based on the EU Medical Devices Directive, into closer alignment with the EU Medical Devices Regulation. In addition, on May 8, 2026, the MHRA launchedpublished a consultationdraft from November 14, 2024amendment to Januarythe 5,UK 2025Medical onDevices proposalsRegulations, tothat if implemented, will update the pre-market requirements for medical devices in Great Britain. On July 22, 2025, the MHRA published a response to the consultation confirming that it will incorporate the results of this consultation into new UK legislation on pre-market requirements for medical devices in Great Britain. AThe draft of the new legislationamendment is expected thisto year.be adopted in December 2026 and come into force in June 2027, subject to review and approval by the UK Parliament. Under the UK Medical Devices Regulations, in order to be lawfully placed on the Great Britain market, class I (non-sterile, non-measuring or non-re-useable) medical devices need to be “UKCA” self-certified, and other medical devices need to be “UKCA” certified by a UK approved body. However, certain medical devices in compliance with: (1) the EU Medical Devices Directive can continue to be placed on the Great Britain market until the sooner of certificate expiration or June 30, 2028; or (2) the EU Medical Devices Regulation can continue to be placed on the Great Britain market until June 30, 2030. The MHRA launched a consultation from February 16, 2026 to April 10, 2026 regarding the indefinite recognition of EU Medical Devices Regulation-compliant medical devices in Great Britain. The outcome of this consultation is currently pending. Medical devices also need to bear a physical UKCA mark in order to be lawfully placed on the Great Britain market. However, the MHRAdraft has confirmed in its responseamendment to the consultationUK onMedical pre-marketDevices requirementsRegulations for medical devices in Great Britain that it intends towould remove the requirement for a medical device and its labeling (for example packaging and instructions for use) in Great Britain to bear a physical UKCA mark. Instead of requiring a medical device and its labeling to bear a UKCA mark, manufacturers would be required to assign a unique design identification, (“UDI”), to a medical device and register the UDI in a publicly accessible database before the medical device is placed on the Great Britain market. If this change is implemented, we may no longer be required to affix the physical UKCA mark to our medical devices, but we may need to assign and affix a UDI, and register the UDI in a publicly accessible database.
In addition, the regulatory landscape related to medical devices in the EU recently evolved, and continues to undergo legislative changes. On May 26, 2021, the EU Medical Devices Regulation became applicable, and repealed and replaced the EU Medical Devices Directive and the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive. Unlike directives, which must be implemented into the national laws of the EU member states, regulations are directly applicable (i.e., without the need for adoption of EU member state laws implementing them) in all EU member states and are intended to eliminate current differences in the regulation of medical devices among EU member states. The EU Medical Devices Regulation, among other things, is intended to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable and sustainable regulatory framework across the EU for medical devices and ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation. These requirements are in active implementation and may change as the European Commission adopts additional implementing acts and considers targeted revisions to related medical device rules. In addition, on December 16, 2025, the European Commission published a targeted revision proposal of the MDR to address structural issues, certification delays, and burdens on Small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”). The proposal will enterentered the ordinary legislative procedureprocess in March 2026 and is currently not expected to be adopted before late 2026 or early 2027.
We own numerous issued patents and pending patent applications. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we owned approximately 7674 U.S. patents, 2624 pending U.S. patent applications, 220239 issued foreign patents, and 8373 pending foreign and Patent Cooperation Treaty applications. The patent positions of medical device companies, including our patent position, may involve complex legal and factual questions, and therefore, the scope, validity, and enforceability of any patent claims that we may obtain cannot be predicted with certainty.
In the United States, the regulatory framework for AI Technologies faces significant uncertainty. At the federal level, Congress has yet to enact meaningful AI legislation. Instead, federal policy on AI has been shaped by a series of executive orders that have shifted priorities and requirements substantially depending on the administration in power. In the absence of federal AI legislation, states have filled the void by enacting laws regulating different aspects of AI Technologies. For example, California has enacted laws and regulations related to AI safety protocols, reporting and transparency, among other AI-related topics. In addition, Colorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act will require developers and deployers of “high-risk” AI systems to implement certain safeguards against algorithmic discrimination (among other requirements), Utah’s Artificial Intelligence Policy Act establishes disclosure requirements and accountability measures for the use of generative AI in certain consumer interaction, and the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act prohibits the development and deployment of AI systems for certain purposes while establishing a regulatory sandbox. Moreover, state AI laws such as Colorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act and various comprehensive state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), regulate the use of automated decision-making technology that results in legal or similarly significant effects on individuals, and provide rights to individuals with respect to that automated decision making. Many states have also enacted sector-specific AI laws, including related to the use of AI for health-related purposes.
In Europe, on August 1, 2024, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, or the EU AI Act, entered into force, and establishes a comprehensive, risk-based governance framework for AI in the EU market. The majority of the substantive requirements arewere expected to apply from August 2, 2026. AlthoughHowever, on May 7, 2026, EU legislators reached a provisional political agreement on the EuropeanDigital CommissionOmnibus hason proposedAI, anwhich extensiondefers the compliance deadline for high-risk AI systems from August 2, 2026 to December 2, 2027,2027 such(or extensionAugust is2, 2028 for AI systems embedded in regulated products). This agreement has not yet finalizedbeen orformally effective.adopted as of the date of this filing. Certain requirements, including transparency obligations, apply from August 2, 2026 regardless. The EU AI Act applies to companies that develop, use and/or provide AI systems in the EU and depending on the AI use case includes requirements around transparency, conformity assessments and monitoring, risk assessments, human oversight, security, accuracy, general purpose AI and foundation models, and fines for breach of up to 7% of worldwide annual turnover. In addition, the revised EU Product Liability Directive came into force in December 2024, to be implemented into EU member state national law by December 2026. This Directive extends the EU’s existing strict product liability regime to AI Technologies and AI-enabled products, and facilitates civil claims in respect of harm caused by AI. Once fully applicable, the EU AI Act and the EU Product Liability Directive willare expected to have a material impact on the way AI is regulated in the EU. Further, in Europe we are subject to the GDPR, which regulates our use of personal data for automated decision making that results in a legal or similarly significant effect on an individual,individuals, and provides rights to individuals in respect of that automated decision making. Recent case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union, or the CJEU, has taken an expansive view of the scope of the GDPR’s requirements around automated decision making and introduced uncertainty in the interpretation of these rules. Specifically, the CJEU has expanded the scope for automated decision making under the GDPR by finding that automated decision-making activities can fall within the GDPR’s restrictions on those activities even if the required legal or similarly significant effect for the individual is carried out by a third party. The EU AI Act, and developing interpretation and application of the GDPR in respect of automated decision making, together with developing guidance and/or decisions in this area, may affect our use of AI Technologies and our ability to provide, improve or commercialize our services, require additional compliance measures and changes to our operations and processes, and result in increased compliance costs and potential increases in civil claims against us, and could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.
Members of our management and our board of directors hold or beneficially own a significant portion of our common stock and may sell their shares of our common stock to the extent not restricted by contract or under securities laws. We have filed registration statements registering shares that we may issue under our equity compensation plan and employee stock purchase plan. In addition, we have filed a resale registration statement registering shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of outstanding Warrants. The total number of shares of common stock offered under the resale registration statement represented approximately 50.4%50.1% of our total outstanding shares of common stock based on our shares outstanding as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, assuming full conversion of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and full exercise of the Warrants for cash. We may file additional registration statements relating to shares or awards held by our management and board of directors in the future. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market, and such declines may be significant. The perception that these sales could occur may also depress the market price of our common stock. A decline in the price of shares of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities.
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as we remain a smaller reporting company. Under current Exchange Act rules, we will remain a smaller reporting company for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.
North Run Capital, LP, or North Run, and its affiliates held 45.2%44.9% of the voting power of our capital stock based on shares outstanding as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, in addition North Run may acquire additional shares of common stock and voting power upon exercise of the Warrants. For as long as North Run and its affiliates hold a significant amount of our Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock, they will be able to exert significant control over us. This concentrated control may limit or preclude other stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval. In addition, this may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our capital stock that stockholders may believe are in their best interest. North Run and its affiliates may also determine to sell substantial amounts of our securities in one or more transactions, including to one or several private parties in negotiated transactions. In that case, those buyers may subsequently be able to exert significant control over us.
For as long as we remain a non-accelerated filer, we will not be required to comply with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which would require our independent auditors to issue an opinion on their audit of our internal control over financial reporting, until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC and the date we and cease to be a non-accelerated filer. If, once we are required to comply with Section 404(b) under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our independent registered public accounting firm cannot provide an unqualified attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investor confidence and, in turn, the market price of our common stock, could decline.
As of December 31, 2025, we had net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards of $52.6 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes and $36.1 million for state income tax purposes, which may be available to offset our future taxable income, if any. Our federal NOL carryforwards are not subject to expiration, but may generally onlymay be used to offset only 80% of future taxable income in a given year. Certain of our state NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2028. Our state NOL carryforwards could expire unused, to the extent subject to expiration, and be unavailable to offset future taxable income.

We have built and are continuing to grow our commercial organization, which includes a direct sales force in the United States and distributors in Europe and Asia and other targeted international markets. We believe there is significant opportunity for us to expand our presence in these countries and other markets and regions, subject to applicable regulatory clearance or certification. In the United States, we sell our products through a direct sales organization that, as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, consisted of approximately 70 commercial professionals, including regional sales managers, clinical applications and outcomes specialists, field service, marketing, technical and customer support personnel. We manufacture our Systems at a facility in Orlando, Florida. We purchase custom and off-the-shelf components from a number of suppliers, including some single-source suppliers. We purchase the majority of our components and major assemblies through purchase orders with limited long-term supply agreements and generally do not maintain large volumes of finished goods. We strive to maintain enough inventory of our various component parts to avoid the impact of potential disruptions in the supply chain; however, availability of these components can be outside of our control.
Our revenue decreasedincreased from $14.2$13.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 to $13.4$16.5 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, representing aan decreaseincrease of 5%,18%, primarily due to decreasedincreased systemprocedure sales.volume. Our net income was $36.3$3.5 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to a net loss of $27.3$1.8 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. Net income for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was primarily due to a $23.9$1.2 million decrease in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and $10.0 million in acquisition-related income.liabilities. Net loss for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 was primarily due to a $21.7$4.3 million increase in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Our revenue increased from $28.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 7%, primarily due to an increase in procedure volume offset by a decrease in system sales. Our net income was $39.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to a net loss of $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Our installed base of Systems is approximately 440445 as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
Termination of Merger Agreement with Alcon
On March 23, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Alcon Research, LLC, or Alcon, and VMI Option Merger Sub, Inc., or Merger Sub, which provided that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company, or the Merger, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcon.
On May 21, 2025, we and Alcon each received a request for additional information and documentary material from the Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, in connection with the FTC’s review of the Merger. Following its investigation, the FTC indicated its intention to seek to enjoin the Merger. On March 16, 2026, we entered into a Termination and Mutual Release Agreement, or the Termination Agreement, with Alcon and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, effective immediately. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Alcon agreed that we will retain the $10.0 million cash deposit provided to us and being held by us pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Deposit was recorded as acquisition-related income in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The parties also agreed to a mutual release of claims, relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein or thereby.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, acquisition-related costs were reduced by $4.4 million associated with previously recognized acquisition-related costs eliminated in conjunction with the terminated Merger Agreement as compared to $4.2 million of acquisition-related costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025. In connection with the Merger Agreement, we incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $12.8 million. At March 31, 2026, the Company had liabilities related to acquisition-related costs of $8.7 million, of which $3.6 million is classified as accounts payable, current, $10,000 is classified as accrued liabilities, and $5.0 million is classified accounts payable, long-term on the condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2026.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of acquisition-related costs, personnel costs, such as salaries and wages, including stock-based compensation and benefits, professional fees, marketing, insurance, travel and other expenses.expenses, and acquisition-related costs related to the then-pending merger with Alcon Research, LLC. We are continuing to grow our sales efforts in the United States. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in association with our planned growth.
Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025
Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 compared with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Total revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 decreasedincreased by $0.7$2.6 million, or 5%,18%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.
Product revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 decreasedincreased by $0.8$2.1 million, or 8%,20%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The decreaseincrease was primarily attributable to decreased System sales of $1.8 million offset with increased procedure volume of $1.0$1.9 million and increased System sales of $0.2 million.
Service revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 increased by $0.3 million, or 23%,22%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased number of System placements. Our U.S. sales represented 73%71% and 55%63% of product and service revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Lease revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 decreasedincreased by $0.2$0.1 million, or 11%,8%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The decreaseincrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of leased LLS units, partially offset by an increase in leased ALLY Systems.
The U.S. government has recently implemented significant changes in U.S. trade policy and taken certain actions that have impacted our business, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States. Some of these changes have triggered retaliatory actions by affected countries that could negatively impact demand for our products in these regions. The imposition of tariffs has increased the cost of the raw materials used in our ALLY Systems and PIDs. To date, we have not increased sales prices to our customers resulting in a reduction in our gross margin.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $1.8 million, or 7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $1.3 million, or 6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to increased procedure volume of $2.9 million offset by decreased System sales of $1.6 million.
Service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $0.6 million, or 22%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased number of System placements. Our U.S. sales represented 72% and 59% of product and service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Lease revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $0.1 million, or 2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of leased LLS units, partially offset by an increase in leased ALLY Systems.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 compared with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were consistent at $7.0 million.
CostTotal cost of product revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 decreased by $0.5$0.2 million, or 12%,3%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The decrease in cost of product revenue was primarily due to the decrease in System sales.
We import certain raw materials for our ALLY System and PIDs from regions that have been impacted by the tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. This has resulted in an increase in the cost of our products and a negative impact to our gross profit margin.
Cost of serviceproduct revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 increaseddecreased by $0.5 million, or 27%,11%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.

We import certain raw materials for our ALLY System and PIDs from regions that have been impacted by the tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. This has resulted in an increase in the cost of our products and a negative impact to our gross profit margin. However, this quarter, the IEEPA tariff refund had a positive impact on our gross profit margin.
Cost of leaseservice revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 increased by $0.1$0.3 million, or 7%,17%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase in cost of service revenue was primarily attributabledue to the depreciation of leased Systems as theincreased number of leasedSystem Systems continued to grow.placements.
Cost of lease revenue was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which was consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2025.

We prepare and analyze operating and financial data and non-GAAP measures to assess the performance of our business, make strategic and offering decisions and build our financial projections. The key non-GAAP measures we use, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, are reconciled to net loss below for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.
For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, we had net income of $36.3$39.9 million and net loss of $27.3$29.1 million, respectively, and as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $141.2$137.7 million. Net income for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was primarily due to non-operating income consisting of the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and the Merger Deposit. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities increased net income by $23.9$25.2 million in the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and it is difficult to predict how the fair value of warrant liabilities will impact our future results. The change in fair value of the warrant liability was a result of the decrease in the Company’s stock price during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. We expect to continue to incur losses and operating cash outflows for the near-term future.
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash from the sale and lease of our Systems and the sale of our consumables.consumables, and a $10.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility secured in August 2026. We maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of insured limits. As discussed above, ongoing global supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, recently enacted tariffs, and other macroeconomic conditions have negatively affected our capital requirements and more operating capital may be needed to fund our operations in the future. We have also experienced some reduced activity by our distributors following the announcement of the Merger, and we have adjusted our purchasing and production to manage our inventory accordingly. Our results could be adversely impacted if our distributors do not resume their sales activity to previous levels. Based on our current operating plan, we believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand to support current operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
In March 2026, we entered into a Priority Credit Line Agreement, or the PCL Agreement, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A, or Wells Fargo. The PCL Agreement provides for a revolving, non-purpose margin credit facility, secured by a first-priority lien on a designated brokerage account maintained at Wells Fargo, or the Collateral Account, of an amount based on the collateral value in the Collateral Account. We are permitted to borrow 90-95% of the Collateral Account value under the PCL Agreement. Borrowings under the PCL Agreement bear interest, at our election, at either (i) a fixed rate based on the Treasury Yield plus an applicable margin, over a designated term, or (ii) a variable rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus an applicable margin. The PCL Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to make any payment upon demand or otherwise when due or deposit additional collateral when required under the PCL Agreement; initiation of a bankruptcy petition or other insolvency proceeding; any event of default under any security agreement executed in connection with the Collateral Account; or the insufficiency of the value of the financial assets in the Collateral Account. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we have not utilized the PCL. The PCL Agreement was subsequently terminated in August 2026.
In August 2026, the Company entered into a $10.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility with Salem Five Cents Savings Bank (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to customary exclusions. The amount available to borrow is based on certain accounts receivable and future lease receivables. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the 1-month term SOFR plus 3%, which reduces to 1-month term SOFR plus 2.5% if no event of default occurs in the first year. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to make any payment when due. The Revolving Credit Facility expires, and any amounts outstanding thereunder will become due and payable, on August 10, 2028 (the “Revolver Termination Date”), but we may be terminate at any time prior to the Revolver Termination Date without premium or penalty.
