&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Reduced operating expenses by 22% compared to the prior year

"2025 was a transformational year for Iridex, we grew revenue, reduced operating expenses, and achieved positive adjusted EBITDA for the first time in recent company history," said Patrick Mercer, President and CEO of Iridex. "I am proud to announce that our fourth quarter was our strongest of the year, with momentum across both our glaucoma and retina businesses driving cash flow positive operations. As we enter 2026, we have a growing installed base of systems, manufacturing efficiency initiatives underway and leaner cost structure, that position us to build on our 2025 progress and drive sustainable profitability."

**Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results**

------

Revenue for the three months ended January 3, 2026 was $14.7 million, representing a 16% year-over-year increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher retina system sales, including Pascal sales, glaucoma probe sales and an extra selling week in the fiscal quarter. Total product revenue from the Cyclo G6 product family was $3.8 million, representing growth of 15% year-over-year compared to $3.3 million in the prior year quarter. Other revenue decreased $0.1 million to $2.0 million.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $5.5 million or a 37% gross margin, a decrease of $0.1 million compared to $5.6 million, or a 44.0% gross margin, in the prior year period. Gross margin decreased primarily due to increase in overall manufacturing costs, including increased product costs associated with tariff developments throughout the year, and lower capitalization of manufacturing overhead as inventory levels declined.

Operating expenses were $5.5 million in Q4 2025, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 10% compared to $6.1 million in Q4 2024, due mainly to expense reduction measures taken in late 2024.

Net loss was $0.2 million or $0.01 per share for Q4 2025, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.05 per share, in the same period of the prior year.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2025 was $0.8 million, an improvement of $0.2 million, compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $0.6 million for Q4 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents as of January 3, 2026 were $6.0 million, an increase of $0.4 million in the quarter.

**Full Year 2025 Financial Results**

Revenue for the year ended January 3, 2026 was $52.7 million, representing growth of 8% compared to $48.7 million in 2024. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher retina system sales, including Pascal sales, glaucoma probe sales and an extra selling week in the fiscal year. Retina product revenue was $30.3 million compared to $27.8 million in the prior year, an increase of 9%, driven by higher capital system sales. Total product revenue from the Cyclo G6 glaucoma product family was $13.8 million compared to $12.7 million in fiscal year 2024, driven by higher capital system sales and probe utilization. Other revenue was $8.6 million in 2025 compared to $8.1 million in the prior year primarily driven by higher service revenue.

Gross profit for the full year 2025 was $19.2 million or a 37% gross margin, a decrease compared to $19.5 million, or a 40% gross margin in 2024. Gross margin decreased primarily due to inventory write-downs, increase in overall manufacturing costs, including increased product costs associated with tariff developments throughout the year, and lower capitalization of manufacturing overhead as inventory levels declined.

Operating expenses for 2025 decreased 22% to $21.8 million compared to $27.8 million in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses was due to expense reduction measures implemented in the second half of 2024.

Net loss for 2025 improved to $4.4 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to a net loss of $8.9 million, or $0.54 per share in the prior year.

Total adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was $1.1 million, an improvement of $5.4 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss $4.3 million in 2024.

**2026 Financial Outlook**

The Company currently forecasts 2026 revenue of between $51 million and $53 million. This guidance contemplates the impact of market disruptions from the conflict in the Middle East, which are impacting

------

product delivery timelines. Considering these disruptions, the guidance contemplates no 2026 sales in the Middle East region. On a pro forma basis, adjusted to exclude Middle East revenue in 2025, guidance represents 2026 growth of 1% to 5% compared to 2025. For 2026 adjusted operating expenses, which exclude depreciation and amortization, and stock compensation, are expected to be in the range of $19 million to $19.5 million and the Company expects to generate positive operating cash flow in full year 2026.

**Safe Harbor Statement**

This announcement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, including those statements concerning financial forecasts, expectations for profitability, positive cash flow and financial and operating results in fiscal year 2026. The Company can provide no assurance that it will achieve or sustain profitability. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. Please see a detailed description of these and other risks further described in the "Risk Factors" section of Iridex's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in Iridex's other reports filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), available at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are made as of this date and will not be updated.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information**

This 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 measures 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;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Loss on write-down of inventory.* We excluded from our non-GAAP results the expenses related to the write down of inventory related to the transfer of production of several products to 3rd party contract manufacturers. In these types of transactions, not all applicable inventories are acquired by the contract manufacturers and thus, such inventory becomes excess and obsolete. 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.
