ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RxSight, Inc. (NASDAQ: RXST) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided an update on its 2026 financial outlook.
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
- Total company Q2 revenue of $33.7 million, which includes $6.5 million in revenue recognized from the RxSight Alcon strategic collaboration
- Q2 product sales of $27.2 million including:
- 24,917 Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) units;
- 12 Light Delivery Devices (LDD) units
- Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $209 million as of June 30, 2026
Strategic Highlights
RxSight highlighted the following recent developments that position the company for long-term success:
- Appointed eye care industry leader, Aziz Mottiwala, as President and Chief Executive Officer
- Entered into a strategic collaboration with Alcon to develop and commercialize light-adjustable presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses with up to $200 million upfront and milestone payments and significant future royalty potential
- Formally announced development of the next-generation RxSight Light Adjustable Technology platform, including new LAL, LAL+ and LAL Toric lenses intended to improve workflow and reduce required postoperative office visits
- In connection with the leadership transition, withdrew 2026 guidance; will resume formal guidance in early 2027
“It is a privilege to join RxSight and to work alongside the talented team that pioneered an entirely new category in cataract surgery with the only commercially available IOL platform that enables physicians to adjust and personalize vision after surgery,” said Aziz Mottiwala, President and Chief Executive Officer of RxSight. “The opportunity ahead is significant, and our immediate priority is to strengthen commercial execution, deepen adoption across our installed base and translate the value of adjustability into durable growth. To support those priorities, I have commenced a comprehensive review of the business. While underlying trends remain generally consistent with our prior expectations, withdrawing 2026 guidance gives us the flexibility to establish the right operating plan and focus our resources on the core business, our pipeline and the Alcon collaboration.”
Second Quarter Financial Results
In the second quarter of 2026, total revenue was $33.7 million, including $6.5 million recognized under the company’s strategic collaboration with Alcon. Product sales were $27.2 million, down 19% from the prior-year period, reflecting heightened competitive trialing and continued pressure on consumer sentiment.
Excluding the impact from the Alcon collaboration, second quarter gross margin of 71.2% decreased from 74.9% in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting inventory-related costs and the expected flow-through of higher-cost inventory. Including the favorable contribution of collaboration revenue, second-quarter gross margin was 76.7%.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $39.7 million versus $39.2 million in the year-ago period. The increase was primarily driven by higher professional services fees, partially offset by lower compensation and other employee-related costs.
In the second quarter, the company reported a net loss of $(12.1) million, or $(0.29) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(11.8) million, or $(0.29) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted net loss in the second quarter of 2026 was $(4.6) million, or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(3.3) million, or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2025.
As of June 30, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $208.8 million.

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:
