Dr. Ron Kurtz
President and Chief Executive Officer

Good morning and thank you for joining us. Over the last several years, the RxSight team has been developing proprietary hybrid IOL materials for next generation light adjustable technology that can support a full suite of adjustable lenses across all premium categories. Designed to enable expanded patient choice and customization, along with a reduction in required postoperative treatments, these developments are being pursued both via our standalone product pipeline and through our collaboration with Alcon. RxSight's next-generation adjustable IOLs will build upon the quality of vision that has been a key attraction for LAL patients for many years. Our partnership with Alcon aims to leverage each company's expertise to develop adjustable presbyopia correcting IOLs that, for the first time, will enable doctors to refine visual outcomes noninvasively after surgery for patients who choose a PCIOL. Taken together, these technology-driven strategic initiatives solidify RxSight's position as the leader in postoperative adjustability, create a platform for high-margin future growth, and Accelerate expansion across a wider base of patients. While we believe these strategic developments will be key multi-year growth drivers for RxSight, last night's announcement also detailed the near-term challenges we experienced in the second quarter after several quarters of relatively stable utilization trends. Although we do not yet have Q2 data from other premium IOLs, We believe this retrenchment is linked to widespread competitive trialing activity associated with new product launches. While the LAL value proposition remains highly differentiated, these trial programs provide a significant short-term incentive to an already strained practice environment. While the effects of competitive trialing tend to wane as doctors determine the true value of a new offering based on their own clinical experience, We expect the heightened competitive environment to remain active through the end of the year. We also note that consumer sentiment remained under pressure, which we believe could have contributed to more deliberate patient decision making and softer overall procedure activity. While cataract surgery typically cannot be deferred indefinitely, unusual declines in overall cataract volumes were observed in Q1 with patient confidence and the broader economic backdrop being two potential factors. We believe we can overcome these challenges by accelerating customer re-engagement efforts that have shown success in targeted rollouts, and we are excited to be making additional investments in our U.S. LAL sales force to expand our depth of penetration within accounts. coupled with our technologies unparalleled clinical outcomes, we remain confident in our team's ability to navigate these headwinds successfully. I'll now turn it over to Mark to provide select financial metrics related to our second quarter performance and updated thoughts on our full year 2026 outlook.
