"For the third consecutive quarter, we have achieved year-over-year revenue growth, reduced operating expenses, and delivered breakeven or better adjusted EBITDA. We continue to identify and execute on additional opportunities to lower expenses further and improve margins. We remain focused and committed to take the necessary steps to build a more financially disciplined self-sustaining business, while strengthening our competitive position in the market.” Second Quarter 2025 Financial ResultsRevenue for the three months ended June 28, 2025 was $13.6 million, representing 7% year-over-year growth and 14% sequential growth versus the first quarter of 2025. Growth was driven primarily by higher Pascal system sales, medical and surgical retina system sales, partially offset by a decrease in surgical retina probe sales. Total product revenue from the Cyclo G6 product family was $3.3 million, essentially flat year-over-year. Other revenue increased $0.2 million to $2.2 million in Q2 2025 compared to $2.0 million in Q2 2024, driven primarily by an increase in service revenue. Gross profit in Q2 2025 was $4.7 million or a 34.5% gross margin, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to $5.1 million, or a 40.7% gross margin, in Q2 2024, driven primarily by an increase in overall manufacturing costs, product mix weighing toward capital system sales and geographic mix weighting toward international sales, partially offset by increases in ASPs. Operating expenses were $5.6 million in Q2 2025, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 28% compared to $7.8 million in Q2 2024, due mainly to expense reduction measures taken in late 2024. Net loss was $1.0 million or $0.06 per share for Q2 2025, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.16 per share, in the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 was $21 thousand, an improvement of $1.7 million, compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.7 million for Q2 2024. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 28, 2025 were $6.8 million, a reduction of $0.4 million in the quarter. 2025 Financial OutlookThe Company plans to achieve cash flow breakeven and positive adjusted EBITDA in 2025 on revenue generation consistent with 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial InformationThis press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to Iridex’s GAAP results, we consider Adjusted EBITDA. This non-GAAP result should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We present this non-GAAP result because management considers it to be an important supplemental measure of Iridex’s performance and refers to such measure when analyzing Iridex’s strategy and operations. In calculating the above non-GAAP result: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation, as well as excluding certain other non-GAAP adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA exclude from their GAAP equivalents items listed below; Share-based compensation expense. We excluded from our non-GAAP results the expense related to equity-based compensation plans as it represents expenses that do not require cash settlement from Iridex.Severance-related expenses. We excluded from our non-GAAP results the expenses related to restructuring events, partially offset by reversals of previously recognized severance expenses in subsequent periods. These expenses are unrelated to our ongoing operations, vary in size and frequency and are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to varying levels of restructuring activity. We believe that excluding these expenses provides a more meaningful comparison of the financial results to our historical operations and to the financial results of peer companies.Nasdaq listing requirements compliance plan expenses. We excluded from our non-GAAP results the expenses related to plans for regaining compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements. These expenses are unrelated to our ongoing operations and we believe that excluding these expenses provides a more meaningful comparison of the financial results to our historical operations and to the financial results of peer companies. Management adjusts for the above items because management believes that, in general, these items possess one or more of the following characteristics: their magnitude and timing is unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; they are unusual and we do not expect them to occur in the ordinary course of business; or they are non-operational or non-cash expenses involving stock compensation plans or other items. A detailed reconciliation between Iridex’s non-GAAP and GAAP financial results is set forth in the financial tables at the end of this press release. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information strictly as a supplement to the GAAP results that are contained in this press release as well as in Iridex’s other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC.
