Glaukos Corporation Updates on Product Pipeline, Market Strategy, and Financials
GKOS
Product Launch
New Projects/Investments
Revenue Acceleration/Inflection
  • Glaukos has invested $800 million in R&D since 2018, resulting in 12 commercially available products and 13 in development, and has achieved over 20% CAGR every year for 10 years with over 30% market growth in the past year. The company maintains an 84% gross margin profile and a healthy balance sheet of $283 million.
  • The company is focused on transforming glaucoma and keratoconus treatment paradigms. For glaucoma, the iDose TR product demonstrated 81% of patients off all medications at one year in Phase III trials , and the next-generation iDose TREX, currently in Phase II-B/III clinical trials, is expected to last six years with a single injection.
  • For keratoconus, Epioxa, a new topical drug that arrests sight-threatening disease, has met FDA requirements and is anticipated to replace Photrexa, with a manageable reimbursement process expected.
  • In the most recent quarter, Glaukos reported $45 million in iDose revenue, reflecting good sequential growth despite a deceleration from prior quarters. The company is also encouraged by recent constructive dialogue with the FDA regarding the PDUFA date for iDose readministration.

Glaukos Discusses iDose Launch Progress, Epioxa Strategy, and Financial Outlook at Citi Conference
GKOS
Product Launch
Guidance Update
New Projects/Investments
  • Glaukos is transitioning towards generating more pharmaceutical revenue than device revenue, driven by its pipeline and product strategy.
  • The iDose launch is progressing, with four of seven Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), representing approximately 70% of Medicare lives, now having professional fee schedules for the product. The clinical performance of iDose continues to exceed expectations.
  • The company has launched Epioxa, its first rare disease drug for keratoconus, and has built a dedicated organizational foundation for rare disease market access and patient support.
  • Glaukos aims for cash flow break-even in the near term and projects operating margins of 30% to 35% in the medium to long term, supported by its high gross margins.
  • The traditional MIGS stent business is expected to be "flattish" next year, partly due to iDose cannibalizing some of its growth.

Glaukos Discusses Strategic Shift to Pharmaceuticals, iDose Launch Progress, and Financial Outlook at Global Healthcare Conference
GKOS
Product Launch
New Projects/Investments
Revenue Acceleration/Inflection
  • Glaukos is transitioning from a microtechnology stent manufacturer to a company with a growing focus on pharmaceutical revenue, highlighted by the recent launch of Epioxa, a rare disease drug for keratoconus.
  • The launch of iDose in 2025 has demonstrated strong clinical performance, exceeding expectations, though it faces ongoing challenges with professional fee reimbursement from Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs); currently, four of seven MACs cover professional fees, representing 70% of Medicare lives.
  • The legacy stent and MIGS franchise is projected to be flattish next year, with concomitant MIGS reimbursement expected to decline by low double digits for 2026 on the professional fee side.
  • Financially, Glaukos is working towards achieving cash flow break-even in the near term and anticipates reaching 30%-35% operating margins in a mature business.
  • The company's pipeline includes a next-generation iDose (TREX) designed for longer duration and an in-office injector system (Trio), both currently undergoing clinical development.

Glaukos Discusses Strategic Shift, iDose Reimbursement, and Financial Outlook for FY 2025
GKOS
Product Launch
Guidance Update
New Projects/Investments
  • Glaukos is undergoing a strategic shift, moving from primarily a microtechnology manufacturer of stents (MIGS) to a company with significant pharmaceutical revenue, notably from iDose and the newly launched Epioxa.
  • The core MIGS market (excluding iDose) is anticipated to be flattish in FY 2025, partly due to iDose cannibalization. For iDose, four of seven MACs, covering approximately 70% of Medicare lives, currently have professional fee schedules, with the company continuing education efforts for the remaining three.
  • Financially, Glaukos is targeting cash flow breakeven in the near term and expects to achieve 30%-35% operating margins in the medium to long term, supported by high gross margins and the retirement of convertible debt.
  • The company is also developing iDose TREX, a next-generation iDose designed to deliver twice the drug payload for extended duration, with clinical studies underway.

GKOS
Guidance Update
Product Launch
Revenue Acceleration/Inflection
  • Glaukos reported record third-quarter 2025 revenue of $133.5 million, representing mid-to-high 30% growth, driven by U.S. glaucoma revenue of $81 million (57% year-over-year growth) primarily from iDose.
  • The company achieved a gross margin of almost 84% and maintained a cash balance of $277.5 million. Gross margin is expected to continue increasing due to the growing mix of high-margin iDose and Epioxa products.
  • Glaukos announced preliminary 2026 revenue guidance of $600 million to $620 million, supported by multiple revenue drivers including iDose and the upcoming launch of Epioxa.
  • For the Epioxa launch, the product is priced at $78,500 per eye, with an expected net ASP of $65,000-$70,000. The company plans to discontinue Photrexa in a staged process throughout 2026, aiming to significantly increase the number of treated keratoconus patients beyond the current 10,000 annually.
  • The core U.S. stent business (non-iDose) is anticipated to be flattish or grow in the low to mid-single digits in 2026, while the broader combo cataract market is expected to return to growth after anniversarying LCD headwinds.
