Organization and business

Glaukos Corporation (Glaukos or the Company), incorporated in Delaware on July 14, 1998, is an ophthalmic medical technology and pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapies for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal disorders, and retinal diseases. The Company developed Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) to serve as an alternative to the traditional glaucoma treatment paradigm and launched its first MIGS device commercially in 2012. The Company also offers commercially a proprietary bio-activated pharmaceutical therapy for the treatment of a rare corneal disorder, keratoconus, that was approved by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2016. The Company is developing a portfolio of platforms to support ongoing pharmaceutical and medical device innovations. Products or product candidates for each of these platforms are designed to advance the standard of care through better treatment options across the areas of glaucoma; corneal disorders such as keratoconus, dry eye and refractive vision correction; and retinal diseases such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glaukos and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the U.S. for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

As permitted by Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial information contained herein. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date, but excludes disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 24, 2023. The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any other interim period.

Recent developments

On May 16, 2023, the Company issued $3.0 million of its common stock in connection with the acquisition of intellectual property rights regarding certain formulations and methods for treating an ophthalmic disorder, including all related patents and patent applications, technology and know-how. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as the set of acquired assets did not constitute a business. The Company may have ongoing milestone payments based on achieving certain clinical and regulatory milestones depending on the success of the development and approval of the proprietary technologies. Additionally, if these proprietary technologies are commercialized, the Company may also have royalty payments and commercial milestone obligations that are determined based upon annual net sales thresholds. The Company does not have any accrued liabilities related to this transaction as of September 30, 2023.

On July 17, 2023, the Company entered into a collaboration and marketing agreement (Collaboration and Marketing Agreement) with Radius XR, Inc. (Radius), in which the Company became the exclusive sales agent to market, promote and solicit orders for the Radius XR™ wearable patient engagement and diagnostic system within the United States. Pursuant to the Collaboration and Marketing Agreement, the Company earns commission payments based on sales of Radius products resulting from the Company’s marketing and promotion efforts. These sales commissions were immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2023. In connection with the Collaboration and Marketing Agreement, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note (Convertible Promissory Note) pursuant to which the Company agreed to fund Radius up to $5.0 million, based upon the occurrence of certain potential future events. The Convertible Promissory Note bears interest on the outstanding principal at the rate of 5.0% per annum, and the outstanding principal and interest is convertible into preferred stock or capital stock in Radius under certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2023, $0.5 million is outstanding under the Convertible Promissory Note.
