STAAR Surgical Q3 2026 sales fall to $83.4M
STAAR placed its cloud-based enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management systems into service at the beginning of the second quarter of 2026.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
STAAR Surgical Company (STAA) reported third-quarter net sales of $83.411 million, compared with $94.732 million for the three months ended September 26, 2025, and net income of $5.575 million versus $8.884 million. For the nine months ended October 2, 2026, net sales were $270.468 million, compared with $181.641 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2025, and net income was $18.839 million versus a $62.139 million loss.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months was $25.310 million, compared with $30.316 million used in the prior-year period. Cash and cash equivalents were $133.610 million as of October 2, 2026, compared with $153.150 million as of January 2, 2026.
China distributors accounted for 51% of sales in the nine months ended October 2, 2026, compared with 33% in the prior-year period, and 61% of trade receivables as of October 2, 2026, compared with 33% as of January 2, 2026. The board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50.0 million; no shares were repurchased under it during the quarter.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

STAAR SURGICAL COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
STAAR Surgical Company, a Delaware corporation, was first incorporated in 1982, and together with its subsidiaries designs, develops, manufactures, and sells implantable lenses for the eye and accessory delivery systems used to deliver the lenses into the eye.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 and September 26, 2025, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 and September 26, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
Each of the Company’s fiscal reporting periods ends on the Friday nearest to the quarter ending date and generally consists of 13 weeks. Unless the context indicates otherwise “we,” “us,” the “Company,” and “STAAR” refer to STAAR Surgical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Restructuring, Impairment and Related Charges
In the first half of 2025, the Company took a number of steps to change its leadership team, realign its leadership structure to better address market needs, reduce costs and discretionary spending, and better position the Company to return to sustainable growth. In addition, as a result of the termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Alcon Research, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Alcon”) in January 2026 and the entry into a letter agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Broadwood Partners, L.P. and its affiliates (“Broadwood”), the Company incurred additional restructuring related charges due to leadership realignment.

Segment Reporting
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a consolidated basis.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets and the expenditures for additions to long-lived assets, and depreciation and amortization expense is consistent with those presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
See Note 14 – Disaggregation of Sales, Geographic Sales and Product Sales and Note 15 – Geographic Assets for specific information regarding the Company’s sales and long-lived assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).” ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 requires footnote disclosure about specific expenses to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-production activities or other types of depletion expenses. The tabular disclosure also would include certain other expenses, when applicable. ASU 2024-03 does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company previously disclosed that it had adopted the annual disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-03 at the beginning of fiscal year 2026 and would adopt the interim disclosure requirements beginning in fiscal year 2027. The Company has since determined to adopt the annual disclosure requirements and interim disclosure requirements as of their effective dates under ASU 2024-03 and therefore will adopt the annual disclosure requirements at the beginning of fiscal year 2027 and the interim disclosure requirements beginning in fiscal year 2028.

The Company obtains the fair value from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches and observable market inputs to determine value. These observable market inputs include reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers and other industry and economic events.
The Company assessed each debt security in a gross unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost was a result of credit losses or other factors, whether the Company expects to recover the amortized cost of the debt security, the Company’s intent to sell and whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis. There has been no allowance for expected credit losses recorded for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 and September 26, 2025.
The following table shows the fair value of investments AFS by contractual maturity (in thousands):

Overview
STAAR Surgical Company designs, develops, manufactures, and sells implantable lenses for the eye and accessory delivery systems used to deliver the lenses into the eye. We are the leading manufacturer of phakic implantable lenses used worldwide in corrective or “refractive” surgery. We have been dedicated solely to ophthalmic surgery for over 40 years. Our goal is to position our refractive lenses throughout the world as primary and premium solutions for patients seeking visual
20
freedom from wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses while achieving excellent visual acuity through refractive vision correction. We generate worldwide revenue almost exclusively from sales of our Implantable Collamer® Lenses, or “ICLs.” Our ICLs are made from Collamer, which is a proprietary collagen copolymer material created and exclusively used by STAAR to make our lenses soft, flexible and biocompatible with the eye. Our ICLs are phakic lenses, meaning that they are implanted into the eye without removing the eye’s natural crystalline lens. This distinguishes an ICL procedure from other refractive procedures, as it does not involve the removal of corneal eye tissue. All of our ICLs are foldable, which allows the surgeon to insert them into the eye through a small incision during minimally invasive surgery. Further, while ICLs are intended to be permanent, our ICLs are reversible lens implants, meaning they can be removed by a doctor if desired. We are also working to expand ICL adoption worldwide through partnerships and patient education. Finally, we are prioritizing investments in R&D, clinical proof and regulatory progress to expand beyond our core offering and bring meaningful new products to patients.
STAAR employs a commercialization strategy that strives for sustainable, profitable growth. Our growth strategy includes making our complete ICL product line available in our existing geographic markets and expanding into attractive markets where we do not sell our products today. In addition, we are focused on driving awareness of the ICL procedure and the clinical benefits of our ICLs, and providing surgeon training, support and education, particularly in our newer markets.
Business Environment and Factors Affecting Comparability
For the three months ended October 2, 2026, net sales were $83.4 million, compared with $94.7 million during the same period last year, a decrease of 12%. Third-quarter 2025 net sales included $25.9 million associated with delayed revenue recognition of an order placed and shipped in 2024 (the “December China Shipment”). Excluding that amount, the prior-year comparison base would have been $68.8 million, against which third-quarter 2026 net sales would have increased 21%.
Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2026 was 70.9% of total net sales, compared to 82.2% in the prior-year quarter. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by the recognition under U.S. GAAP, revenues for the $25.9 million December China Shipment in the third quarter of 2025 while corresponding costs for the December China Shipment were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024, which therefore increased the third quarter of 2025 gross margin by 6.7%. Excluding this one-time item, reported gross margin in the third quarter of 2025 would have been 75.5% (the “Adjusted Third Quarter 2025 Gross Margin”).
Several temporary factors caused gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2026 to decline from the Adjusted Third Quarter of 2025 Gross Margin:
As a result of these factors, we do not expect to achieve our target gross margin of 75% in 2026, although we do expect improvement in the fourth quarter of 2026. We expect gross margin to improve going forward for several reasons. First, we expect manufacturing costs to decrease as production volumes rise in both the U.S. and Switzerland. Second, freight costs will improve once certain ERP enhancements are introduced to enable us to consolidate shipments to customers. Third, all new ICLs for China were manufactured in Switzerland starting the third quarter of 2026, we expect tariff costs will decline. Finally, we expect expiring product to decrease from the levels we saw during the first nine months of 2026.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $53.7 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $59.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. Excluding restructuring, impairment, and related charges of $6.0 million recorded in the previous year that were not repeated this year, third quarter of 2025 selling, general and administrative expenses would have been $53.4 million. Third quarter of 2026 selling, general and administrative expenses included year-over-year decreases driven primarily by lower variable compensation, partially offset by higher depreciation expense associated with the Company’s ERP system.
The ERP implementation represented a significant operational undertaking for the Company this year. As sales volumes grew, unforeseen operational challenges emerged that required extensive daily manual intervention from teams across the organization. Through these concentrated efforts, the Company successfully met its sales targets for the quarter. While certain implementation-related issues persist, the Company has developed and implemented a comprehensive remediation plan and anticipates resolving the most significant issues by the end of 2026. The Company expects to continue to invest and add functionality to its systems.
21
Net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $5.6 million or $0.11 per diluted share, down from net income of $8.9 million or $0.18 per diluted share for the prior year quarter. Net income in the prior year quarter was favorably affected by the December China Shipment, tax effected at $15.2 million. Excluding this impact, the net loss would have been $6.3 million or $(0.13) per diluted share. Cash and investments available for sale increased to $206.4 million at October 2, 2026 from $181.5 million at July 3, 2026, and we expect to continue to generate cash during the remainder of the year.
In September 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common stock. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under this share repurchase program during the third quarter of 2026.
Critical Accounting Estimates
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses and analyzes data in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provided in this report, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board. Actual results may differ, significantly at times, from these estimates if actual conditions differ from our assumptions.
Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the nine months ended October 2, 2026 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026.

Three Months Ended October 2, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 26, 2025
Net sales for the three months ended October 2, 2026 decreased 12.0% from the same period of 2025. The decrease was due to the recognition of $25.9 million in net sales related to the previously disclosed December China Shipment in the prior period, which did not recur in the current period. The December China Shipment was paid in full during the three months ended September 26, 2025. Excluding the December China Shipment from the prior period, net sales would have increased 21.1%. The composition of our net sales is primarily related to ICL sales. Net sales also include sales of delivery system and normal recurring sales adjustments such as sales return allowances.
The sales decrease was driven by the Asia Pacific (“APAC”) region, which decreased 20%. Lower sales in China drove the decrease, due to the December China Shipment. In Japan, our second largest market, sales decreased 8% due to the impact of currency fluctuation. Excluding the effects of this impact, sales were essentially flat while units grew 1%. Sales in Korea also decreased due to weakness in demand. These decreases were partially offset by increases in Taiwan, India and other areas in the APAC region. Excluding the impact of the December China Shipment, APAC sales would have increased 20%.
Sales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region increased 31%. The increase came mainly from higher sales in the EMEA direct and distributor markets, despite the current geopolitical situation in the Middle East. Sales in the Middle East decreased 2% during this period. Excluding the Middle East, the EMEA region sales increased 51%.
The Americas region sales increased 14%, primarily due to sales growth in the U.S. and Latin America.
Changes in foreign currency unfavorably impacted net sales by $1.0 million.
Nine Months Ended October 2, 2026 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 26, 2025
Net sales for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 increased 48.9% from the same period of 2025, primarily due to increased sales in China. Net sales for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 included the December China Shipment, of which a payment of $1.6 million was received during the three months ended June 27, 2025 and the remaining $25.9 million was paid in full during the three months ended September 26, 2025. Excluding the December China Shipment from the prior period, net sales would have increased 75.5%.
Sales in the APAC region increased by 66% compared to the same period of 2025. Higher China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea and other APAC markets drove the increase. Lower sales in India partially offset these increases. Excluding the impact of the December China Shipment, APAC sales would have increased 112%.
The EMEA region sales increased 8% compared to the same period of 2025. The increase came from higher sales in EMEA direct markets. The increase was partially offset by lower sales in the EMEA distributor markets, mostly in the Middle East due to the current geopolitical situation in the region. Sales in the Middle East decreased 30% during this period. Excluding the Middle East, EMEA region sales increased 20%.
The Americas region sales increased 17%, primarily due to sales growth in the U.S. and Canada and Latin America.
Changes in foreign currency unfavorably impacted net sales by $0.6 million.

Gross profit for the three months ended October 2, 2026 decreased 24.1% from the same period of 2025. Gross profit margin decreased to 70.9% of revenue for the three months ended October 2, 2026 compared to 82.2% of revenue for the three months ended September 26, 2025. Gross profit for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 increased 42.6% from the same period of 2025. Gross profit margin decreased to 73.1% of revenue for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 compared to 76.3% for the nine months ended September 26, 2025.
Gross profit and gross profit margin were partially affected by when the December China Shipment’s net sales and cost of sales were recognized. Its cost of sales was recognized in December 2024, when the product shipped. Its net sales were recognized at a 100% gross margin when payment was received: $1.6 million was received during the three months ended June
23
27, 2025 and the remaining $25.9 million during the three months ended September 26, 2025. Excluding the December China Shipment, gross profit would have been $52.0 million for the three months ended September 26, 2025 and $111.2 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2025. Gross profit margin would have been 75.5% for the three months ended September 26, 2025 and 72.1% for the nine months ended September 26, 2025. Excluding the December China Shipment, gross profit margin would have decreased for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and increased for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 compared to the same periods of 2025.
For the nine months ended October 2, 2026 two factors helped gross profit and gross profit margin compared to the same period of 2025:
For both the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, several factors hurt gross profit and gross profit margin compared to the same periods of 2025:
We expect tariffs will continue to affect gross profit margin until we can supply 100% of EVO and EVO+ICL lenses for China from inventory produced in Switzerland. Although all new ICL’s for China were manufactured in Switzerland starting the third quarter of 2026, any U.S. product in inventory and sold to China will continue to be subject to tariffs.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 decreased 1.6% from the same period of 2025, due mainly to decreased salary-related and payroll tax expense, clinical expenses and bonus and stock-based compensation, partially offset by increased amortization of our cloud-based software and outside services associated with supporting our ERP system.
Merger Transaction and Related Costs
At the special meeting of shareholders held on January 6, 2026, the Company’s shareholders voted against the merger with Alcon. Following the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Broadwood, which provided for the reimbursement of certain reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses to Broadwood, Yunqi Capital and Defender Capital related to the merger with Alcon. The following table presents our professional services expenses we incurred in connection with the proposed merger with Alcon and the Cooperation Agreement (dollars in thousands):

In addition, in 2026, as a result of the Cooperation Agreement with Broadwood, we incurred additional restructuring related charges related to leadership realignment as follows (in thousands):

The effective tax rates for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and September 26, 2025 were 20.1% and 52.7%, respectively, and were 28.2% and (0.9)% for the nine months ended October 2, 2026 and September 26, 2025, respectively. Our effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the income tax expense generated in foreign jurisdictions.
Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof, and the geographic composition of our pre-tax income. We carefully monitor these factors and adjust our effective income tax rate accordingly.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents, investments available for sale (“AFS”) and cash flow from operating activities. We believe these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including working capital needs, capital expenditures and contractual obligations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements. We expect that cash flow from operating activities may fluctuate in future periods as a result of a number of factors, including fluctuations in our operating results, working capital needs, capital expenditures, and capital deployment decisions. In addition, future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate in net sales, the timing and extent of spending to support our growth strategy, the expansion of selling and marketing activities, the timing of introductions of new products, as well as global macroeconomic factors. If our anticipated future cash flow from operating
26
activities is insufficient to satisfy our future capital requirements in the long-term, we may need to seek additional capital. Our financial condition at October 2, 2026 and January 2, 2026 included the following (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances in deposits and money market accounts held at banks and financial institutions. Our investment policy’s primary objective is capital preservation while maximizing our return on investment. Investments available for sale may include U.S. government and corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certain certificates of deposit and related security types, that are rated by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations with minimum investment grade ratings of AAA to A-/A-1+ to A-2, or the equivalent. The maturity of individual investments may not extend beyond 24 months from the date of purchase. There are also limits to the amount of credit exposure in any given security type. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Commitments
Executive Agreements
The Company has entered into agreements with certain of its executives that provide for severance payments and benefits upon termination of employment by the company without “cause” or by the executive for “good reason” as defined in the applicable agreements. Certain executives are also party to agreements that provide for enhanced payments and benefits in connection with a termination of employment upon a “change in control.”
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
During the nine months ended October 2, 2026, there have been no material changes in the Company’s qualitative and quantitative market risk since the disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2026.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. For purposes of this statement, the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud or material errors. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations on all internal control systems, our internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of internal control is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 2, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims, regulatory actions and other matters arising in the normal course of business. These legal proceedings, claims, regulatory actions and other matters may relate to, among other things, contractual rights and obligations, vendor and distributor relationships, employment matters, and claims of product liability or medical device quality compliance. The Company maintains insurance coverage for various matters, including product liability and certain securities claims. While the Company does not believe that any of the claims known is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, new claims or unexpected results of existing claims could lead to significant financial harm.
28
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our short and long-term success is subject to many factors that are beyond our control. Investors and prospective investors should consider carefully information contained in this report and the risks and uncertainties described in “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026. Such risks and uncertainties could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
