The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of STAAR Surgical Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. In accordance with those rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Comprehensive Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 2, 2026 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2026.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended July 3, 2026 and June 27, 2025, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 3, 2026 and June 27, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Each of the Company’s fiscal reporting periods ends on the Friday nearest to the quarter ending date and generally consists of 13 weeks. Unless the context indicates otherwise “we,” “us,” the “Company,” and “STAAR” refer to STAAR Surgical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Restructuring, Impairment and Related Charges

Merger Transactions and Related Costs

In connection with the proposed merger with Alcon and the Cooperation Agreement, the Company incurred professional service expenses of $6,743,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2026.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a consolidated basis.

Significant segment expenses are consistent with those presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets and the expenditures for additions to long-lived assets, and depreciation and amortization expense is consistent with those presented on the Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.

See Note 14 – Disaggregation of Sales, Geographic Sales and Product Sales and Note 15 – Geographic Assets for specific information regarding the Company’s sales and long-lived assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).” ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 requires footnote disclosure about specific expenses to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-production activities or other types of depletion expenses. The tabular disclosure also would include certain other expenses, when applicable. ASU 2024-03 does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the annual disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-03 at the beginning of fiscal year 2026 and will adopt the interim disclosure requirement beginning in fiscal year 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the annual disclosure requirements and its effect on its annual report for fiscal year 2026.

The Company obtains the fair value from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches and observable market inputs to determine value. These observable market inputs include reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers and other industry and economic events.

The Company assessed each debt security in a gross unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost was a result of credit losses or other factors, whether the Company expects to recover the amortized cost of the debt security, the Company’s intent to sell and whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis. There has been no allowance for expected credit losses recorded for the three months ended July 3, 2026 and June 27, 2025.

Note 11 — Stockholders’ Equity

Incentive Plan

The Company maintains an Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Equity Plan”). The Equity Plan allows for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) and other stock- and cash-based awards, including awards that are subject to service-based and performance-based vesting conditions. As of July 3, 2026, the Company had outstanding grants of stock options, RSUs and PSUs.

Stock options granted under the Equity Plan are granted at fair market value on the date of grant, become exercisable generally over athree-year period, or as determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”), and expire over periods not exceeding 10 years from the date of grant. Certain stock options and stock-based awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control and pre-established financial metrics are met (as defined in the Equity Plan). Grants of restricted stock outstanding under the Equity Plan generally vest over periods ofone tothree years. Grants of RSUs and PSUs outstanding under the Equity Plan generally vest based on service, performance, or a combination of both. On June 18, 2026, stockholders approved a proposal to increase the number of shares under the Equity Plan by 3,900,000 shares, for a total of 26,705,000 shares. As of July 3, 2026, there were 4,139,002 shares available for grant under the Equity Plan.

Assumptions

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model applying the weighted-average assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from the historical exercises and post-vesting cancellations and represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company has calculated a 15% estimated forfeiture rate based on historical forfeiture experience. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve corresponding to the expected term at the time of the grant.
