Business Description

Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation Overview and Organization LENSAR, Inc. (“LENSAR” or the “Company”) is a global medical device business focused on the design, development and commercialization of advanced technology for the treatment of cataracts and management of astigmatism to achieve improved visual outcomes for patients. The Company is a public company whose stock is listed and trading under the symbol “LNSR” on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The Company’s revenue is derived from the sale and lease of the Company’s LENSAR Laser System (“LLS”) and ALLY Robotic Cataract Laser System™ (“ALLY System”) (collectively the “Systems”), which may include equipment, a consumable referred to as the Patient Interface Device (“PID”), procedure licenses, training, installation, limited warranty and maintenance agreements through extended warranty. The Company has developed its ALLY System as a compact, highly ergonomic system utilizing an extremely fast dual-modality laser and integrating artificial intelligence (“AI”) into proprietary imaging and software. The ALLY System is designed to transform premium cataract surgery by utilizing LENSAR’s 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. The Company executed a controlled and targeted initial launch of the ALLY System beginning in August 2022 in the United States. The ALLY System is available to U.S. and European Union cataract surgeons and has also received regulatory clearance in India, Taiwan, South Korea, and certain other countries. On March 23, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with Alcon Research, LLC (“Alcon”) and VMI Option Merger Sub, Inc. (“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 (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcon. The Merger Agreement was terminated by the parties on March 16, 2026; for further information see Note 18, Subsequent Events . The Company received a $ 10,000 cash deposit towards the aggregate cash consideration (the “Merger Deposit”), which is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet at December 31, 2025. As of such date, the Merger Deposit was considered the property of Alcon in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. For further information on the impact of the termination of the Merger Agreement on the Merger Deposit, see Note 18, Subsequent Events . Refer to “Acquisition-Related Costs” in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , for information regarding acquisition-related costs. The Company has incurred recurring losses and operating cash outflows since its inception and as of December 31, 2025 had an accumulated deficit of $ 177,575 . The Company expects to continue to incur losses and cash outflows from operating activities for the near-term future. Pricing increases in component parts for the ALLY System resulting from inflationary pressures, related macroeconomic conditions, and tariffs may necessitate an increase in overall cost to customers, which in turn may have an adverse impact on customer demand. Management believes the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investments on hand, together with cash generated from the future sale and lease of products, will provide sufficient funds for its operating, investing, and financing cash flows for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company expects annual revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses to increase from current levels associated with the increase in ALLY System placements. The U.S. government has recently implemented significant changes in U.S. trade policy and taken certain actions that have impacted the Company’s business, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States, and we have seen a resulting negative impact on our gross profit margin, as we have not passed on these additional costs to our customers.…
