Third-quarter gross margin was 73.6%, compared with 79.9% in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting an increase in inventory reserves and higher inventory costs for LAL and LDD, partially offset by favorable product mix. The Alcon collaboration had an immaterial impact on gross margin during the quarter.
Total cost and expenses for the third quarter of 2026 were $43.1 million relatively consistent versus $42.5 million in the year-ago period.
In the third quarter, the company reported a net loss of $(16.2) million, or $(0.39) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(9.8) million, or $(0.24) per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted net loss in the third quarter of 2026 was $(8.6) million, or $(0.21) per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(1.7) million, or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of 2025.
As of September 30, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $254.7 million, including the $60 million received in the third quarter in connection with the Alcon collaboration.
