Organization and Business

Glaukos Corporation (Glaukos or the Company), incorporated in Delaware on July 14, 1998, is an ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical technology company focused on developing novel dropless platform therapies and commercializing associated products for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal disorders, and retinal diseases. The Company first developed Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) as an alternative to the traditional glaucoma treatment paradigm, launching its first MIGS device commercially in 2012. Since that time, the Company has launched additional MIGS products. In 2024, the Company commenced commercial launch activities for iDose TR, a sustained-release pharmaceutical product used in the treatment of glaucoma. The Company also recently commenced its controlled commercial launch of Epioxa, a proprietary bio-activated and incision-free pharmaceutical therapy for the treatment of a rare corneal disorder, keratoconus, that was approved by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2025. Glaukos’ first-generation corneal cross-linking therapy, known as Photrexa, which requires removal of the corneal epithelium, received U.S. FDA approval in 2016. All of these products are part of a portfolio of platforms the Company is developing to support ongoing pharmaceutical and medical device innovations. Products or product candidates for each of these platforms are designed to advance the standard of care through better treatment options across the areas of glaucoma; corneal disorders such as keratoconus, dry eye and refractive vision correction; and retinal diseases such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glaukos and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. All intercompany balances and transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the U.S. for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

As permitted by Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial information contained herein. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date, but excludes disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 23, 2026. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any other interim period.

Recent Developments

On April 15, 2026, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) assigned a unique, permanent Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) J-code for Epioxa, J2789. The new J-code for Epioxa became effective on July 1, 2026. J-codes are used by U.S. government and commercial payers to streamline the billing and reimbursement process for procedural pharmaceuticals administered by a healthcare professional, such as Epioxa. The Company began its controlled commercial launch of Epioxa in the first quarter of 2026. As part of the launch, the Company is transitioning commercial efforts and manufacturing from Photrexa to Epioxa over the course of 2026.
