ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 2, 2022--
Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS), an ophthalmic medical technology and pharmaceutical company focused on novel therapies for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal disorders and retinal diseases, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Key highlights include:
“Our solid third quarter performance reflects our teams’ ongoing commitment to advance our key strategic priorities and execute our plans while navigating a dynamic macro environment,” said Thomas Burns, Glaukos chairman and chief executive officer. “We are now in the midst of several exciting new product launches and continue to successfully invest in and advance our robust pipeline of novel, dropless platform technologies designed to meaningfully advance the standard of care and improve outcomes for patients suffering from chronic eye diseases.”
Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Net sales in the third quarter of 2022 of $71.3 million declined 4.6% on a reported basis, or 1.6% on a constant currency basis, compared to $74.7 million in the same period in 2021.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 was approximately 76%, compared to approximately 79% in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 was approximately 84%, compared to approximately 87% in the same period in 2021.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2022 increased 6% to $47.1 million, compared to $44.5 million in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2022 increased 13% to $46.4 million, compared to $41.2 million in the same period in 2021.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $28.9 million, compared to $28.8 million in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2022 increased 1% to $28.9 million, compared to $28.7 million in the same period in 2021.
Loss from operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $21.6 million, compared to operating income of $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP loss from operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $15.3 million, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of $9.9 million in the third quarter of 2021.
Net loss in the third quarter of 2022 was $27.6 million, or ($0.58) per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net loss in the third quarter of 2022 was $21.3 million, or ($0.45) per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $14.7 million, or ($0.31) per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021.
Included in operating income, net income and earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter of 2021 is a $30 million payment receipt related to the company’s settlement of patent litigation with Ivantis, Inc., which was recorded as an offset to GAAP operating expenses.
Included in non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS for the third quarter of 2021 is an in-process R&D (IPR&D) charge of $5.0 million associated with an upfront payment related to the execution of a licensing arrangement with Attillaps Holdings, which caused the non-GAAP loss per diluted share to have an additional loss of ($0.10) in the prior year period. This charge was previously excluded in the prior year reporting period from non-GAAP operating expenses and has been adjusted to account for a change in the company’s methodology to now include similar IPR&D transactions for non-GAAP disclosure and reporting purposes.
The company ended the third quarter of 2022 with approximately $371 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash.
2022 Revenue Guidance
The company expects 2022 net sales to be in the range of $278 million to $280 million.

We do not undertake any obligation to update, amend or clarify these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities law.
Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP historical financial measures. Management makes adjustments to the GAAP measures for items (both charges and gains) that (a) do not reflect the core operational activities of the Company, (b) are commonly adjusted within the Company's industry to enhance comparability of the Company's financial results with those of its peer group, or (c) are inconsistent in amount or frequency between periods (albeit such items are monitored and controlled with equal diligence relative to core operations). The Company uses the term "Non-GAAP" to exclude external acquisition-related costs incurred to effect a business combination; amortization of intangible assets acquired in a business combination, asset purchase transaction or other contractual relationship; impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; certain in-process R&D charges; fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities and pre-acquisition contingencies arising from a business combination; integration and transition costs related to business combinations; fair market value adjustments to inventories acquired in a business combination or asset purchase transaction; restructuring charges, duplicative operating expenses, or asset write-offs (or reversals) associated with exiting or significantly downsizing a business; gain or loss from the sale of a business; gain or loss on the mark-to-market adjustment, impairment, or sale of long-term investments; mark-to-market adjustments on derivative instruments that hedge income or expense exposures in a future period; significant legal litigation costs and/or settlement expenses or proceeds legal and other associated expenses that are both unusual and significant related to governmental or internal inquiries; and significant discrete income and other tax adjustments related to transactions as well as changes in estimated acquisition-date tax effects associated with business combinations, and the impact from implementation of tax law changes and settlements. See “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure presented to the comparable GAAP financial measure.
In addition, in order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company also presents certain net sales information on a constant currency basis, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as the average exchange rates in effect in the comparable prior period. See page 9 of this press release for a presentation of certain net sales information on a reported, GAAP and a constant currency basis.GLAUKOS CORPORATIONCONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS(unaudited)(in thousands, except per share amounts) Three Months EndedNine Months EndedSeptember 30,September 30,
