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 growth(1) 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.

Pipeline Update
As part of today's earnings announcement, Bausch + Lomb is reporting topline results from a pivotal clinical study evaluating the enVista Beyond investigational IOL, which was designed to provide cataract patients with an expanded range of functional vision following cataract surgery.
The multicenter study evaluated visual performance and safety outcomes in patients undergoing cataract surgery. The study met several of its co-primary effectiveness endpoints, demonstrating improved and statistically superior intermediate vision and a greater depth of focus compared with a monofocal control lens, while maintaining distance visual acuity comparable to the control. The overall dataset demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in functional vision and validated key attributes of the lens' optical profile despite narrowly missing predefined performance targets related to depth of focus and intermediate visual performance.
