Full Year 2025 Results

“In 2025, we strengthened our financial position through focused cost reductions, gross margin expansion, and improved commercial efficiency, and increased probe sales,” said Patrick Mercer, President and CEO of IRIDEX. “When we set and communicated our goals for 2025, we were clear about what we intended to accomplish—and in 2025 we delivered. The actions we took drove a fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, reduced operating expenses, and improved adjusted EBITDA. We achieved positive cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2025, and we expect to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025.”

These preliminary results are based on management’s initial analysis of operations for the quarter and year ended January 3, 2026, and are subject to the completion of the Company’s year-end financial reporting processes, further internal review, potential adjustments, and audit by the Company’s external auditors.
