Who is Harrow?

Harrow (NASDAQ: HROW) is one of the leading U.S. ophthalmic-focused pharmaceuticals companies. Aside from being a for-profit company, from a cultural perspective, all members of the Harrow Family are proud of our commitment to (1) innovation, (2) patient access to, and affordability of, our medicines, and (3) that we have never turned down an ophthalmologist doing mission work around the world – to provide free-medicines – to support their work to give to the gift of sight to those most in need.

Harrow owns numerous branded pharmaceutical products, including Ilevro, Iopidine, Maxitrol, Vigamox, Moxeza, Nevanac, Triesence, Maxidex, Flarex, Natacyn, Tobradex ST, Verkazia, Zerviate, Freshkote, Vevye, and Iheezo. In addition, Harrow owns and operates ImprimisRx, the nation’s leading ophthalmology-focused compounded pharmaceuticals, including its FDA-registered and FDA-inspected 503B outsourcing facility and a 50-state mail order pharmacy – both of which are in Ledgewood, New Jersey.

Harrow also holds non-controlling equity positions in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Surface Ophthalmics, and Melt Pharmaceuticals, all of which started as Harrow Health subsidiaries, and owns royalty rights in four clinical-stage drug candidates being developed by Surface Ophthalmics and Melt Pharmaceuticals.

At Harrow, we foster our individual and collective entrepreneurial and creative spirits. We focus on pursuing opportunities for drug candidates in underserved markets. We are data-driven and use our access to real-world clinical experience to lower the investment risks of our work. We concentrate on the commercial appeal of high-value assets, and our objective is to seek to make paradigm-shifting medicines available to patients as soon as possible. Our approach to finding high-value opportunities and balancing risk with real-world experience can deliver exceptional value for all our stakeholders.
