LENSAR, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNSR) reported Q3 EPS of ($0.64), versus ($5.44) reported last year.

“The third quarter was one of continued progress for LENSAR, during which we took important steps to position the Company for both near- and longer-term success,” said Nick Curtis, Chief Executive Officer of LENSAR. “In August, our former parent, PDL, announced its intention to spin LENSAR off. The spin-off was completed in October, at which point LENSAR became an independent, publicly traded company. I would like to thank the members of the PDL and LENSAR teams whose hard work and dedication made this transaction possible, as well as our new stockholders for their ongoing support.”

Mr. Curtis added, “We became an independent company during a relatively challenging period in our industry. Procedure volumes were negatively impacted during the first half of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as elective procedures were shut down in all of our operating regions. In addition, the pandemic has changed the way ophthalmic surgeons see and treat patients, affecting productivity levels and patient flow. I am pleased to report that activity in the U.S. and Europe rebounded in the third quarter back to 2019 levels. Through the pandemic, we continue to advance the development of ALLY™, our next generation system which integrates a femtosecond laser with a phacoemulsification system in a single, compact cataract treatment system. We remain on-track to submit a 510(k) application to the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) by the first quarter of 2022 and launch ALLY in 2022. Our current-generation LENSAR system with Streamline® IV and IntelliAxis, remains the most advanced system on the market today, and we look forward to advancing that technology leadership position with the launch of ALLY. We are confident in our growth strategy, our team’s ability to execute on that strategy and believe that we are well-positioned for continued growth and success.”
