NEVANAC , VIGAMOX , MAXIDEX , and TRIESENCE .
to the terms of an asset purchase agreement, Harrow paid $130 million at closing, with an additional milestone payment due upon the commercial
availability of TRIESENCE. Harrow and the seller have entered into an estimated six-month transition period during which the seller will
continue to sell the products in the U.S. and transfer all net profits from the products to Harrow. During the transition period, the

for the subject product.
expects these products to be immediately financially accretive and reaffirms 2023 guidance of $135 million to $143 million in net revenues
and $44 million to $50 million in adjusted EBITDA. Harrow believes that both net revenues and adjusted EBITDA should grow further during

press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Any statements in this release that are not historical facts may be considered such "forward-looking statements."
Forward-looking statements, including net revenues and adjusted EBITDA guidance, are based on management's current expectations
and are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause results to differ materially and adversely from the statements contained herein.
Some of the potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those predicted include the continued impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic and any future health epidemics on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations; our ability
to make commercially available our FDA-approved products and compounded formulations and technologies in a timely manner or at all; market
acceptance of the Company's products and challenges related to the marketing of the Company's products; risks related to
our pharmacy operations; our ability to enter into other strategic alliances, including arrangements with pharmacies, physicians and
healthcare organizations for the development and distribution of our products; our ability to obtain intellectual property protection
for our assets; our ability to accurately estimate our expenses and cash burn, and raise additional funds when necessary; risks related
to research and development activities; the projected size of the potential market for our technologies and products; unexpected new
data, safety and technical issues; regulatory and market developments impacting compounding pharmacies, outsourcing facilities and the
pharmaceutical industry; changes in federal and state laws and related policies; competition; and market conditions. These and additional
risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Harrow's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Such documents may be read free of charge on the SEC's website
at www.sec.gov. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
Except as required by law, Harrow undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events,
or circumstances after the date they are made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
addition to the Company's results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
management also utilizes Adjusted EBITDA, an unaudited financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate
the Company's financial results and performance and to plan and forecast future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a "non-GAAP"
financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure
reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results, provide a more complete
understanding of the Company's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting its business. However, Adjusted EBITDA
and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company and the way they are calculated
may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies,
including the Company's competitors.
Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to Harrow Health, Inc., excluding the effects of stock-based compensation and
expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, investment loss, net, gain on forgiveness of debt, and, if any and when specified,
other non-recurring income or expense items. Management believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted
EBITDA is net loss attributable to Harrow Health, Inc. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA
to expected results due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of transaction-related expenses.
