ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RxSight, Inc. (NASDAQ: RXST) today reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Strategic Highlights and Recent Developments

• 2025 Light Adjustable Lens (LAL^® and LAL+^®) unit sales increased 12% to 109,615
• Over 300,000 RxSight LAL procedures performed since launch, reinforcing the benefits of post-operative adjustability in clinical practice
• Light Delivery Devices (LDD™) installed base expanded to 1,134, providing a strong foundation for future procedure growth

“Based on our fourth quarter results, we believe that the commercial initiatives implemented in the second half of 2025 are showing early signs of progress,” said Ron Kurtz, President and Chief Executive Officer of RxSight. “While there is still more work ahead, full year LAL growth reflected strong adoption as physicians and patients recognize the value of the company’s differentiated therapy. Our team remains committed to driving the disciplined execution that supports doctors as they deliver the benefits of high-quality customized vision to their patients.”

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Full-year 2025 global sales of $134.5 million decreased 4% versus the prior year. LAL revenue growth of 12% was offset by a 48% decrease in LDD system sales compared to 2024.

2025 gross profit was $103.0 million, or 76.6% of revenue compared to gross profit of $98.9 million, or 70.7% of revenue in 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a greater percentage of revenue from LAL sales.

Operating expenses for 2025 were $151.2 million, an 11% increase compared to $135.8 million in 2024. The increase was driven primarily by strategic investments to support our expanding commercial and operational footprint, in addition to research and development and marketing activities. The company is building international infrastructure and maintains regulatory approvals for the RxSight system in North America, Europe, Singapore, South Korea and, most recently, Australia.

In 2025, net loss was $(38.9) million, or $(0.95) per share on a basic and diluted basis compared to a net loss of $(27.5) million, or $(0.71) per share on a basic and diluted basis in 2024. Adjusted net loss was $(7.3) million, or $(0.18) per share on a basic and diluted basis, in 2025, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(2.8) million, or $(0.07) per share on a basic and diluted basis in 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $228.1 million.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

In the fourth quarter of 2025, total revenue was $32.6 million, a decrease of 19% compared to $40.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, largely reflecting lower LDD revenue compared to record LDD placements in the prior year period. For the quarter, LAL revenue decreased 1% year over year, while LDD revenue decreased 72%. Sequential LAL procedure growth reflects steady activity across the installed base, supported in part by recent commercial initiatives and typical seasonal trends.

Fourth quarter gross profit was $25.3 million or 77.5% of revenue, a decrease of $3.5 million compared to gross profit of $28.8 million or 71.6% of revenue for the year-ago period. The increase in gross profit as percent of revenue was primarily driven by the favorable shift in product mix toward LAL sales.

Total operating expenses were $36.6 million, a 2% decrease from $37.4 million in the year-ago period. The decrease was driven by lower personnel costs, partially offset by continued investments to support LAL sales and advance the company’s research and development pipeline.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company reported a net loss of $(9.2) million, or $(0.22) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(5.9) million, or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted net loss in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $(1.3) million, or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net gain of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we believe certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net earnings (loss), and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share, basic and diluted, provide useful information to investors and are useful in evaluating our operating performance. For example, we exclude stock-based compensation expense because this expense is non-cash in nature and we believe excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.

We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Adjusted net earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net earnings (loss) adjusted for stock-based compensation. We believe adjusted net earnings (loss) provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance and is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Reconciliations of net earnings (loss) to adjusted net earnings (loss) and the presentation of adjusted net earnings (loss) per share, basic and diluted, are as follows:
