Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $21 million, revenue increased by approximately 3% on a constant currency1 basis compared to the second quarter of 2024. Revenue by segment was as follows: Second-Quarter 2025 (in millions) Three Months Ended June 30 Reported Change Reported Change Change at Constant Currency1 (non-GAAP) 2025 2024 Total Bausch + Lomb Revenue $1,278 $1,216 $62 5% 3% Vision Care $753 $697 $56 8% 6% Surgical $216 $209 $7 3% 1% Pharmaceuticals $309 $310 ($1) 0% (1%) Expand Vision Care Segment Vision Care segment revenue was $753 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $697 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $56 million, or 8%. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $14 million, segment revenue increased on a constant currency1 basis by approximately 6% compared to the second quarter of 2024, driven by sales from the dry eye portfolio and LUMIFY in the consumer eye care business and SiHy Daily lenses, ULTRA monthly and Biotrue ONEday in the contact lens business. Surgical Segment Surgical segment revenue was $216 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $209 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $7 million, or 3%. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $5 million, segment revenue increased on a constant currency1 basis by approximately 1% compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by growth in consumables, partially offset by the voluntary recall of certain enVista IOL products. Pharmaceuticals Segment Pharmaceuticals segment revenue was $309 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $310 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $1 million. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $2 million, segment revenue decreased on a constant currency1 basis by approximately 1% compared to the second quarter of 2024, driven by a decline in the U.S. Generics business and gross-to-net pricing pressure, primarily attributable to XIIDRA®, partially offset by increased sales of MIEBO and revenue growth in International Pharmaceuticals. Operating Results Operating loss was $11 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to operating income of $26 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $37 million. The change was largely due to higher selling and advertising and promotion costs, primarily attributable to MIEBO, a one-time impact related to the voluntary recall of certain enVista IOL products, product mix and currency impact. Net Loss Net loss attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation for the second quarter of 2025 was $62 million, as compared to $151 million for the second quarter of 2024, a favorable change of $89 million. The change was mainly driven by a decrease in income taxes, partially offset by financing fees from the refinancing debt transaction and operating results. Adjusted net income attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (non-GAAP)1 for the second quarter of 2025 was $25 million, as compared to adjusted net income of $45 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $20 million. Cash Flow from Operations Cash flow from operations for the second quarter of 2025 was $35 million, as compared to $15 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $20 million. Cash flow from operations was positively impacted primarily by improvement in working capital, offset by financing fees related to the refinancing debt transaction. Earnings Per Share GAAP Earnings Per Share ('EPS') Basic and Diluted attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation for the second quarter of 2025 was ($0.18), as compared to ($0.43) for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EPS attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (non-GAAP)1 for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.07, as compared to $0.13 for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EPS attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)1 for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.07, as compared to $0.14 for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)1; Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)1 Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)1 was $191 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $209 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $18 million. Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)1 was $192 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $212 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $20 million. The change was primarily due to the decrease in operating results, as noted above. 2025 Financial Outlook2 Bausch + Lomb provided updated guidance for the full year of 2025 as follows: As of April 30, 2025 As of July 30, 20253 Full-Year Revenue $5.000B – $5.100B ~4.5 – 6.5% constant currency growth1 $5.050B – $5.150B ~5 – 7% constant currency growth1 Full-Year Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)1 $850M – $900M $860M – $910M Full-Year Revenue Foreign Exchange Tailwinds Nominal $25M Full-Year Adj. EBITDA Excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)1 Foreign Exchange Tailwinds Nominal Nominal Expand Other than with respect to GAAP revenue, the company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP)1 to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation or of forward-looking constant currency revenue growth1 to reported revenue growth, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. These amounts may be material and, therefore, could result in the projected GAAP measure or ratio being materially different or less than the projected non-GAAP measure or ratio. These statements represent forward-looking information and may represent a financial outlook, and actual results may vary.

Forward-looking statements include statements regarding Bausch + Lomb's future prospects and performance, including the company's 2025 full-year guidance and the performance of certain products. These forward-looking statements, including the company's full-year guidance, are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of management and are provided for the purpose of providing additional information about such expectations and beliefs, and readers are cautioned that these statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in Bausch + Lomb's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') and the Canadian Securities Administrators (the 'CSA') (including the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024 (which was filed with the SEC and CSA on Feb. 19, 2025) and its most recent quarterly filings), which factors are incorporated herein by reference. They also include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties respecting the proposed plan to separate Bausch + Lomb into an independent, publicly traded company, separate from the remainder of Bausch Health Companies Inc. ('BHC') (the 'separation'), which include, but are not limited to, the expected benefits and costs of the separation, the expected timing of completion of the separation and its manner and terms (including that it may include the transfer of all or a portion of BHC's remaining direct or indirect equity interest in Bausch + Lomb to its shareholders (the 'distribution')), the expectation that, if the separation is to be effected through a distribution, then it will be completed following the achievement of targeted debt leverage ratios, subject to receipt of applicable shareholder and other necessary approvals and other factors, including those described in BHC's public statements, the ability to complete the distribution considering the various conditions to the completion of the distribution (some of which are outside the company's and BHC's control, including conditions related to regulatory matters and receipt of applicable shareholder and other approvals), the impact of any potential sales or dispositions of the company's common shares by BHC (including in connection with a foreclosure on the Bausch + Lomb common shares owned by BHC that are or may be pledged as collateral for certain of BHC's debt), that market or other conditions are no longer favorable to completing the transaction, that applicable shareholder, stock exchange, regulatory or other approval is not obtained on the terms or timelines anticipated or at all, business disruption during the pendency of or following the separation, diversion of management time on separation-related issues, retention of existing management team members, the reaction of customers and other parties to the separation, the structure of the distribution, the qualification of the distribution as a tax-free transaction for Canadian and/or U.S. federal income tax purposes (including whether or not an advance ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency and/or the Internal Revenue Service will be sought or obtained), the ability of the company and BHC to satisfy the conditions required to maintain the tax-free status of such distribution (some of which are beyond their control), other potential tax or other liabilities that may arise as a result of the distribution, the potential dis-synergy costs resulting from the separation, the impact of the separation on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties, general economic conditions, conditions in the markets the company is engaged in, behavior of customers, suppliers and competitors, technological developments and legal and regulatory rules affecting the company's business. In particular, the company can offer no assurance that the separation will occur at all, or that any such transaction will occur on the terms and timelines or in the manner anticipated by the company and BHC. They also include risks and uncertainties relating to acquisitions and other business development transactions the company has completed or may, in the future, pursue and complete, such as the acquisition of XIIDRA® and certain other ophthalmology assets and the acquisition of Elios Vision, Inc., TearLab Corporation, d/b/a Trukera Medical and Whitecap Biosciences, LLC, including risks that the company may not realize the expected benefits of those transactions on a timely basis or at all and, where applicable, risks relating to increased levels of debt as a result of debt incurred to finance such transactions, including in regards to compliance with our debt covenants. They also include risks relating to the voluntary recall of certain of our enVista® IOL products, including our ability to resupply inventory to the market and the success of the enhanced protocols we have put in place (including the enhanced inspection protocols for IOLs and more explicit standards for third party suppliers). They also include the expected impact of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. and counter-tariffs or other retaliatory measures imposed on the U.S. by other countries and disruptions to global supply chains and other potential results as a result of these developments and our ability to successfully manage the expected impact of such tariffs and counter-tariffs and other measures, including the success of our planned actions and levers to manage these matters. Finally, they also include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties caused by or relating to adverse economic conditions and other macroeconomic factors, including heightened inflation and interest rates, fluctuations in exchange rates, imposition of and adverse changes to tariff, duties and other trade protection measures, slower growth or a potential recession, which could adversely impact our revenue, expenses and resulting margins. In addition, certain material factors and assumptions have been applied in making these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the assumption that the risks and uncertainties outlined above will not cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements. In addition, management has also made certain assumptions regarding our 2025 full-year guidance with respect to expectations regarding base performance growth, business performance, currency impact, impacts of inflation, the company's ability to offset the impact of tariffs in 2025 (based on the current tariff policy and the actions the company is taking to manage these measures), adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP), adjusted SG&A expense (non-GAAP) and the company's ability to continue to manage such expense in the manner anticipated, interest expense (which will vary based on, among other things, interest rates and our indebtedness), adjusted tax rate and full-year capex and the anticipated timing and extent of the company's R&D expense. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Bausch + Lomb undertakes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release or to reflect actual outcomes, unless required by law. Links provided in this news release are solely for information purposes and do not constitute Bausch + Lomb affirming any forward-looking statements contained in the linked content. Non-GAAP Information To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios. Management uses these non-GAAP measures and ratios as key metrics in the evaluation of the company's performance and the consolidated financial results and, in part, in the determination of cash bonuses for its executive officers. The company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios are useful to investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of the company. In addition, these non-GAAP measures and ratios address questions the company routinely receives from analysts and investors, and in order to assure that all investors have access to similar data, the company has determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors. These measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures and ratios that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures and ratios. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures and ratios may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures and ratios of other companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures and ratios, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures and ratios. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. They should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliations of these historic non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to the most directly comparable financial measures and ratios calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below. Specific Non-GAAP Measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D EBITDA (non-GAAP) is Net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is EBITDA (non-GAAP) further adjusted for the items described below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), along with the GAAP measures used by management, most appropriately reflect how the company measures the business internally and sets operational goals and incentives. In particular, the company believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) focuses management on the company's underlying operational results and business performance. As a result, the company uses Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) both to assess the actual financial performance of the company and to forecast future results as part of its guidance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is a useful measure to evaluate current performance. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors. In addition, cash bonuses for the company's executive officers and other key employees are based, in part, on the achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) targets. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is Net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest expense, net, (benefit from) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted for the following items: Asset impairments : The company has excluded the impact of impairments of finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions and divestitures. The company believes that the adjustments of these items correlate with the sustainability of the company's operating performance. Although the company excludes impairments of intangible assets from measuring the performance of the company and its business, the company believes that it is important for investors to understand that intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. : The company has excluded the impact of impairments of finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions and divestitures. The company believes that the adjustments of these items correlate with the sustainability of the company's operating performance. Although the company excludes impairments of intangible assets from measuring the performance of the company and its business, the company believes that it is important for investors to understand that intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Restructuring, integration and transformation costs: The company has incurred restructuring costs as it implemented certain strategies, which involved, among other things, improvements to its infrastructure and operations, internal reorganizations and impacts from the divestiture of assets and businesses. With regard to infrastructure and operational improvements which the company has taken to improve efficiencies in the businesses and facilities, these tend to be costs intended to right size the business or organization that fluctuate significantly between periods in amount, size and timing, depending on the improvement project, reorganization or transaction. Additionally, with the completion of the Bausch + Lomb IPO, as the company prepares for post-separation operations, the company is launching certain transformation initiatives that will result in certain changes to and investment in its organizational structure and operations. These transformation initiatives arise outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations and, as is the case with the company's restructuring efforts, costs associated with these transformation initiatives are expected to fluctuate between periods in amount, size and timing. These out-of-the-ordinary-course charges include third-party advisory costs, as well as certain compensation-related costs. Investors should understand that the outcome of these transformation initiatives may result in future restructuring actions and certain of these charges could recur. The company believes that the adjustments of these items provide supplemental information with regard to the sustainability of the company's operating performance, allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental information to investors.

The company believes that the adjustments of these items provide supplemental information with regard to the sustainability of the company's operating performance, allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental information to investors. Acquisition-related costs and adjustments excluding amortization of intangible assets : The company has excluded the impact of acquisition-related costs and fair value inventory step-up resulting from acquisitions as the amounts and frequency of such costs and adjustments are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of its acquisitions. In addition, the company excludes the impact of acquisition-related contingent consideration non-cash adjustments due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to fair value estimates, and the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of the company's acquisitions, as well as the nature of the agreed-upon consideration. : The company has excluded the impact of acquisition-related costs and fair value inventory step-up resulting from acquisitions as the amounts and frequency of such costs and adjustments are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of its acquisitions. In addition, the company excludes the impact of acquisition-related contingent consideration non-cash adjustments due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to fair value estimates, and the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of the company's acquisitions, as well as the nature of the agreed-upon consideration. Share-based compensation : The company excludes costs relating to share-based compensation. The company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense assists investors in the comparisons of operating results to peer companies. Share-based compensation expense can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. : The company excludes costs relating to share-based compensation. The company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense assists investors in the comparisons of operating results to peer companies. Share-based compensation expense can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. Separation costs and separation-related costs : The company has excluded certain costs incurred in connection with activities taken to: (i) separate the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and (ii) register the Bausch + Lomb business as an independent publicly traded entity. Separation costs are incremental costs directly related to effectuating the separation of the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and include, but are not limited to, legal, audit and advisory fees, talent acquisition costs and costs associated with establishing a new Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Separation-related costs are incremental costs indirectly related to the separation of the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and include, but are not limited to, IT infrastructure and software licensing costs, rebranding costs and costs associated with facility relocation and/or modification. As these costs arise from events outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations, the company believes that the adjustments of these items provide supplemental information with regard to the sustainability of the company's operating performance, allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental information to investors. : The company has excluded certain costs incurred in connection with activities taken to: (i) separate the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and (ii) register the Bausch + Lomb business as an independent publicly traded entity.

Separation-related costs are incremental costs indirectly related to the separation of the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and include, but are not limited to, IT infrastructure and software licensing costs, rebranding costs and costs associated with facility relocation and/or modification. As these costs arise from events outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations, the company believes that the adjustments of these items provide supplemental information with regard to the sustainability of the company's operating performance, allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental information to investors. Other Non-GAAP adjustments : The company also excludes certain other amounts, including IT infrastructure investment, litigation and other matters, gain/(loss) on sales of assets and certain other amounts that are the result of other, non-comparable events to measure operating performance if and when present in the periods presented. These events arise outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Given the unique nature of the matters relating to these costs, the company believes these items are not routine operating expenses. For example, legal settlements and judgments vary significantly, in their nature, size and frequency, and, due to this volatility, the company believes the costs associated with legal settlements and judgments are not routine operating expenses. The company excluded these costs as this event is outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations and infrequent in nature. The company believes that the exclusion of such out-of-the-ordinary-course amounts provides supplemental information to assist in the comparison of the financial results of the company from period to period and, therefore, provides useful supplemental information to investors. However, investors should understand that many of these costs could recur and that companies in our industry often face litigation. Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D) (non-GAAP) is Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) further adjusted to exclude Acquired IPR&D. The IPR&D expenditures represent costs directly resulting from business development transactions and not through the normal course of business. The company believes that the exclusion of such out-of-the-ordinary-course amounts provides supplemental information to assist in the comparison of the financial results of the company from period to period and, therefore, provides useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our performance. However, investors should understand that the company may enter into additional business development transactions in the future and, as a result, such Acquired IPR&D may recur in the future. Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) is net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for asset impairments, restructuring, integration and transformation costs, acquisition-related contingent consideration, separation costs and separation-related costs and other non-GAAP adjustments, as these adjustments are described above, and further adjusted for amortization of intangible assets and loss on extinguishment of debt and write-down of financing fees, as described below: Amortization of intangible assets : The company has excluded the impact of amortization of intangible assets, as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. The company believes that the adjustments of these items correlate with the sustainability of the company's operating performance. Although the company excludes the amortization of intangible assets from its non-GAAP expenses, the company believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. : The company has excluded the impact of amortization of intangible assets, as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. The company believes that the adjustments of these items correlate with the sustainability of the company's operating performance. Although the company excludes the amortization of intangible assets from its non-GAAP expenses, the company believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. Loss on extinguishment of debt and write-down of financing fees : The company has excluded loss on extinguishment of debt and write-down of financing fees as this represents a loss from refinancing our existing debt and is not a reflection of our operations for the period. Further, the amount and frequency of such amounts are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt financing transactions and other factors in the debt market that are not in management's control. Bausch + Lomb did not have any material losses on extinguishment of debt and write-downs of financing fees prior to the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of these certain items that may obscure trends in the company's underlying performance. Management uses Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing this non-GAAP measure, it is management's intention to provide investors with a meaningful, supplemental comparison of the company's operating results and trends for the periods presented. Management believes that this measure is also useful to investors as such measure allows investors to evaluate the company's performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. Accordingly, the company believes that Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) is useful to investors in their assessment of the company's operating performance and the valuation of the company. It is also noted that, in recent periods, our GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation was significantly lower than our Adjusted net income (non-GAAP). Constant Currency Constant currency change or constant currency revenue growth is a change in GAAP revenue (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) on a period-over-period basis adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company uses Constant Currency revenue (non-GAAP) and Constant Currency revenue Growth (non-GAAP) to assess performance of its reportable segments, and the company in total, without the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The company believes that such measures are useful to investors as they provide a supplemental period-to-period comparison. Although changes in foreign currency exchange rates are part of our business, they are not within management's control. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, however, can mask positive or negative trends in the underlying business performance. Constant currency impact is determined by comparing 2025 reported amounts adjusted to exclude currency impact, calculated using 2024 monthly average exchange rates, to the actual 2024 reported amounts. Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) Adjusted earnings per share or Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) is calculated as Diluted income per share attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation ('GAAP EPS') (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure), adjusted for the per diluted share impact of each adjustment made to reconcile Net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation to Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) as discussed above. Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) is Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) further adjusted for the per diluted share impact of Acquired IPR&D. Like Adjusted net income (non-GAAP), Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of certain items that may obscure trends in the company's underlying performance on a per share basis. By disclosing these non-GAAP measures, it is management's intention to provide investors with a meaningful, supplemental comparison of the company's results and trends for the periods presented on a diluted share basis. Accordingly, the company believes that Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) are useful to investors in their assessment of the company's operating performance, the valuation of the company and an investor's return on investment. It is also noted that, for the periods presented, our GAAP EPS was significantly lower than our Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP). © 2025 Bausch + Lomb. _____________________________________ 1 This is a non-GAAP measure or a non-GAAP ratio.

Barclays Cut Bausch & Lomb Target to $16, Keeping Rating Neutral in Early June
Barclays lowered its price target on Bausch & Lomb (NYSE: BLCO) from $19 to $16 on June 6, maintaining an Equalweight rating. The revision reflects a more cautious outlook on the company's near-term financial performance. The firm trimmed its next twelve-month EBITDA forecast to $996 million, down from $1.04 billion. As a result, the valuation multiple used in their model was reduced to 10.5x EV/EBITDA, just above the current trading level but below the stock's post-spin average of 11x.

Sales estimates were shaved by less than 1% annually starting in 2025, in line with company guidance. The changes are driven in part by the expected impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and formulary shifts affecting Xiidra. EPS estimates saw a steeper drop, down around 12% for 2025, when guidance changes and the fallout from the enVista recall are factored in. For 2026 and beyond, earnings projections have been lowered by 13–14% annually. We previously shared a .

BLCO Q1 Earnings Call: Misses on Profit, Highlights Product Innovation and Tariff Uncertainty
Eyecare company Bausch + Lomb (NYSE:BLCO) fell short of the market's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025 as sales rose 3.5% year on year to $1.14 billion. On the other hand, the company's full-year revenue guidance of $5.05 billion at the midpoint came in 1.1% above analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP loss of $0.07 per share was significantly below analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy BLCO? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $1.14 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.14 billion (3.5% year-on-year growth, 0.7% miss) Adjusted EPS: -$0.07 vs analyst estimates of $0.02 (significant miss) Adjusted EBITDA: $126 million vs analyst estimates of $163.4 million (11.1% margin, 22.9% miss) The company lifted its revenue guidance for the full year to $5.05 billion at the midpoint from $4.98 billion, a 1.5% increase EBITDA guidance for the full year is $875 million at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $921.9 million Operating Margin: -7.3%, down from 0.5% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow was -$135 million compared to -$26 million in the same quarter last year Constant Currency Revenue rose 5.2% year on year (20.2% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $4.16 billion Bausch + Lomb's first quarter results reflected ongoing growth in core eye care franchises, with management citing strong uptake of daily silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lenses and robust performance in its over-the-counter (OTC) dry eye brands. However, leadership acknowledged the quarter was impacted by a voluntary recall of its enVista intraocular lens (IOL) platform and underperformance in high-margin U.S. generics, both of which are being directly addressed. CEO Brent Saunders emphasized the company's ability to maintain steady revenue growth across all business segments, despite these setbacks, and pointed to the swift market return of enVista as a testament to operational resilience. In discussing full-year guidance, management highlighted both opportunities and challenges ahead. The company raised its revenue outlook, buoyed by product momentum and a diversified manufacturing footprint, but noted that ongoing tariff volatility and the lingering effects of the enVista recall would weigh on margins. CFO Sam Eldessouky described the tariff environment as a 'moving target,' with scenario planning and mitigation strategies underway to limit downside risk. The company reiterated its focus on innovation and operational flexibility as key to navigating a complex macroeconomic and regulatory landscape. Management cited operational resilience and product momentum as key themes for the first quarter, while outlining responses to external and internal headwinds that shaped performance. Voluntary enVista IOL Recall: The company initiated a voluntary recall of its enVista intraocular lenses in March due to a safety signal. Management prioritized patient safety and transparency, returning to market within a month by enhancing inspection protocols and vendor standards. They expect a one-time impact from the recall but anticipate rebuilding customer trust and market share in subsequent quarters. Daily SiHy Contact Lens Growth: Daily SiHy contact lenses saw 42% constant currency revenue growth, fueled by strong U.S. demand and plans for product expansion in Japan and other geographies. Management attributed this to manufacturing flexibility and effective direct-to-consumer campaigns. OTC Dry Eye Franchise Expansion: The Blink and Artelac OTC dry eye brands delivered substantial growth, driven by new product launches such as Blink NutriTears and increased eye care professional engagement. A tenfold sales increase for NutriTears followed a targeted advertising campaign, highlighting management's focus on consumer outreach. Tariff Mitigation Strategies: Management detailed immediate and longer-term plans to mitigate the effects of reciprocal tariffs between the U.S. and China. These include inventory management, scenario planning for manufacturing shifts, and selective price adjustments, leveraging the company's global production footprint. Pharmaceutical Segment Mixed Results: The pharmaceutical business faced underperformance in U.S. generics due to increased competition and lower inventory, while branded products like MIEBO and XIIDRA continued to post strong prescription growth. Management stated that further gross-to-net headwinds for XIIDRA were expected, but volume gains would be supported by direct-to-consumer marketing and access initiatives. Management's outlook for the remainder of the year centers on product innovation, operational agility, and ongoing responses to external pressures such as tariffs and inventory dynamics. Pipeline Advancements: Multiple new products are expected to enter clinical trials, including a biomimetic contact lens and a dual-action therapeutic for dry eye disease. Management believes these pipeline assets could enhance standard of care and support mid- to high-single-digit revenue growth over time. Tariff and Supply Chain Flexibility: The company's ability to shift manufacturing across global sites and adjust supply chains will be critical in mitigating tariff-related headwinds. Management noted that scenario planning is ongoing, and rapid implementation of mitigation levers could limit margin impact if trade tensions persist. Rebound in Surgical and Premium IOLs: The return of enVista IOLs, along with the upcoming launch of the LuxLife and LuxSmart platforms in Europe, is expected to drive recovery in the surgical segment. Management indicated that regaining surgeon confidence and rebuilding inventory channels are top priorities for the second half of the year. Patrick Wood (Morgan Stanley): Asked about the customer response and overall market impact from the enVista recall. Management reported that most surgeons plan to resume use quickly, and trust was reinforced by the recall's transparency and speed of market return. Young Li (Jefferies): Inquired about consumer demand trends and whether sentiment or inventory destocking signaled any slowdown. CEO Brent Saunders stated that actual consumption remains resilient, even as some retailer destocking continues, and highlighted essential healthcare demand as a buffer. Joanne Wuensch (Citi): Requested details on contact lens market demand and the development pipeline for next-generation lenses. Management responded that demand is steady globally and described new lenses in late-stage development, emphasizing design for existing manufacturing lines to minimize capital needs. Unidentified Analyst (Wells Fargo): Probed the timing and magnitude of tariff impacts. CFO Sam Eldessouky disclosed that actions taken so far will protect the first half of the year, with most tariff effects expected in the second half if policies remain unchanged. Robbie Marcus (JPMorgan): Asked why tariff impacts were not included in full-year guidance and about debt covenant risks. Management explained the exclusion was due to ongoing policy uncertainty and assured compliance with existing debt agreements regardless of tariff scenarios. In coming quarters, the StockStory team will be watching (1) the pace of enVista IOL adoption and the restoration of market share in surgical implants, (2) execution on pipeline milestones, including clinical trial progress for new contact lens and dry eye therapies, and (3) the effectiveness of tariff mitigation strategies as U.S.-China trade dynamics evolve. Developments in consumer product launches and the ramp-up of new premium IOL platforms in Europe will also serve as important indicators of recovery and long-term growth.
