  • Bausch + Lomb targets an EBITDA margin of 23% by 2028, representing a 600 basis point increase from approximately 17%, driven by 250 basis points from gross margin and 400 basis points from SG&A. Double-digit annual EPS growth is also anticipated.
  • The company's pipeline includes several key product launches: Blink Triple Care preservative-free drops (H1 2026), PreserVision AREDS 3 (early 2026), and Lumify Luxe (H1 2027) in consumer.

Surgical pipeline benefits are expected from H2 2026, including anticipated U.S. approval for ELIOS later in 2026.
  • Significant margin improvement is expected in the surgical business, currently in single digits, through a shift to higher-margin premium IOLs and manufacturing efficiencies, with real improvements projected by mid-year or end of 2026.
  • Capital allocation priorities include strengthening the balance sheet by reducing leverage to a 3.5x target, with CapEx expected to decrease to 4-4.5% of revenue from approximately 6%. Interest expense is also projected to be below 8% in 2026.
