Bausch + Lomb to Highlight Company Transformation
and Growth Strategy at Investor Day
VAUGHAN, Ontario, Nov. 13, 2025 - Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX:
BLCO), a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, will outline the next chapter of its
evolution today during an investor day event at the New York Stock Exchange.
Leading Through Reinvention
Over the past few years, Bausch + Lomb has undergone a complete transformation
by redefining how it operates. The company has sharpened its focus through simplification, rebuilt its culture around accountability and
innovation and embraced AI and other new technologies to succeed now and well into the future.
"Bausch + Lomb today is a fundamentally different company than
it was just a few years ago," said Brent Saunders, chairman and CEO, Bausch + Lomb. "We've reignited a sense of ownership
and ambition across the organization to better serve patients, customers and consumers and deliver sustainable, profitable growth."
Three-Year Plan for Profitable Growth1
During the event, Bausch + Lomb leadership will unveil plans to achieve
above-market revenue growth and meaningful margin expansion. The company's target of 5 - 7% constant currency revenue CAGR2
through 2028 is expected to be driven by holistic growth in its base business and recent product launches across the spectrum of eye health
needs. The company's target of approximately 23% adjusted EBITDA (ex. Acq. IPR&D) margin2 in 2028 is expected to
be fueled by continuous improvements to how it sources, makes and sells products, and an ongoing examination of opportunities to streamline
internal processes. Bausch + Lomb will also announce additional financial targets of double-digit adjusted annual earnings per share growth
(ex. Acq. IPR&D)2 from 2026 - 2028, approximately 50% adjusted cash flow from operations to adjusted EBITDA (ex.
Acq. IPR&D) conversion2 in 2028 and net leverage2 of approximately 3.5x by the end of 2028.
The company will also reaffirm its 2025 guidance.
"Our roadmap to above-market growth and meaningful margin expansion
is clear," said Sam Eldessouky, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Bausch + Lomb. "We're driving
P&L leverage and making smart investments in innovation and execution to ensure that every dollar contributes to long-term value creation
for our shareholders."
