OVERVIEW Bausch + Lomb is a leading global eye health company dedicated to protecting and enhancing the gift of sight for millions of people around the world—from the moment of birth through every phase of life. Our mission is simple, yet powerful: helping you see better, to live better. Bausch + Lomb develops, manufactures and markets a range of products, primarily in the areas of eye health, which are marketed directly or indirectly in approximately 100 countries. As a fully integrated eye health business, Bausch + Lomb has a comprehensive portfolio of approximately 400 products, which includes an established line of contact lenses, intraocular lenses (“IOLs”) and other medical devices, surgical systems and devices, vitamin and mineral supplements, lens care products, prescription eye-medications and other consumer products that positions us to compete in all areas of the eye health market. Bausch + Lomb is a subsidiary of Bausch Health Companies Inc. (“BHC”), with BHC holding, directly or indirectly, approximately 87% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Bausch + Lomb, as of July 22, 2026. On August 6, 2020, BHC announced its plan to separate our eye health business into an independent publicly traded entity, separate from the remainder of BHC (the “Separation”). Bausch + Lomb understands that BHC continues to believe that completing the Separation, which may include the monetization of all or a portion of BHC’s ownership interest in Bausch + Lomb, the sale of the Company (a “Sale Transaction”), the transfer of all or a portion of BHC’s remaining direct or indirect equity interest in Bausch + Lomb to its shareholders (the “Distribution”), or a combination thereof, makes strategic sense and that BHC continues to evaluate all relevant factors and considerations related to completing the Separation, including those factors described in BHC’s public filings. The Distribution is subject to the achievement of targeted debt leverage ratios and the completion of the Separation is subject to the receipt of any applicable shareholder and other necessary approvals and other factors and is subject to various risk factors. There can be no assurance that the Separation will be consummated, the form any such consummated Separation would take or that a Distribution or Sale Transaction will occur as part of that Separation or that even if consummated, we will realize the anticipated benefits from the Separation. For additional information on the risks related to the Separation, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Separation” of our Annual Report. There can be no assurance that the Separation will be consummated, the form any such consummated Separation would take or that a Distribution or Sale Transaction will occur as part of that Separation or that even if consummated, we will realize the anticipated benefits from the Separation. Reportable Segments 30 Our portfolio of products falls into three operating and reportable segments: (i) Vision Care, (ii) Pharmaceuticals and (iii) Surgical. The Vision Care segment—includes both our contact lens and consumer eye care businesses. Our contact lens portfolio spans the spectrum of wearing modalities, including daily disposable and frequently replaced contact lenses, and contact lenses that are indicated for therapeutic use and that can also provide optical correction during healing, if required. In particular, our Vision Care contact lens portfolio includes our Bausch + Lomb INFUSE® (silicone hydrogel (“SiHy”)) daily disposable contact lenses, Biotrue® ONEday daily disposables, PureVision® SiHy contact lenses, SofLens® daily disposables and Bausch + Lomb ULTRA® contact lenses. Our consumer eye care business consists of contact lens care products, over-the-counter (“OTC”) eye drops that address various conditions, including eye allergies, conjunctivitis, dry eye and redness relief, and eye vitamins and mineral supplements. Within our consumer eye care business, our lens care product portfolio includes Biotrue® and Renu® multipurpose solutions and Boston® cleaning and conditioning solutions, our eye drops include Lumify®, Soothe®, Artelac®, Alaway® and Mioclear® and our eye vitamins include PreserVision® and Ocuvite®. The Pharmaceuticals segment—consists of a broad line of proprietary and generic pharmaceutical products for post-operative treatments and treatments for a number of eye conditions, such as glaucoma, eye inflammation, ocular hypertension, dry eyes and retinal diseases. Key proprietary pharmaceutical brands are MIEBO®, XIIDRA®, Vyzulta®, Lotemax®, Prolensa® and Minims®. The Surgical segment—consists of medical device equipment, consumables and technologies for the treatment of cataracts, corneal, vitreous retinal and refractive eye conditions, which includes IOLs and delivery systems, phacoemulsification equipment and other surgical instruments and devices necessary for cataract surgery. Key surgical brands include Akreos®, AMVISC®, IC-8 Apthera®, Crystalens® IOLs, enVista® IOLs, Eyetelligence® Surgical Planning Software, Millennium®, Stellaris Elite® vision enhancement system, Synergetics®, ClearVisc®, StableVisc®, Storz® ophthalmic instruments, VICTUS® femtosecond laser, Teneo®, Eyefill® and Zyoptix®. Product Development Our team of approximately 900 dedicated Research and Development (“R&D”) employees is focused on advancing our pipeline and identifying new product opportunities and we believe we have a significant innovation opportunity today. We have a robust global pipeline with projects in various stages of pre-clinical and clinical development, including new contact lenses for myopia, next-generation cataract equipment, premium IOLs, investigational treatments for dry eye, novel formulation for eye vitamins and preservative free formulation of eye drops, among others, that are designed to grow our portfolio and accelerate future growth. Our internal R&D organization focuses on the development of products through robust bench testing that is designed to comply with international standards and through clinical trials. Certain of our key pipeline products are listed below. Vision Care •Lumify® Franchise – An OTC redness reliever eye drop that significantly reduces redness to help eyes look whiter and brighter, revealing eyes’ natural beauty. To date, we have launched and acquired the right to launch Lumify® in various countries. A new line extension formulation, Lumify® Preservative Free, was launched in the first quarter of 2025. In addition, the Company is in the process of initiating a Lumify® next generation ("Lumify NXTTM" (formerly Lumify Luxe)) clinical study, for which a Phase 3 study met all primary and secondary endpoints and for which the New Drug Application (“NDA”) has been submitted and approval is anticipated in the first half of 2027. •Blink® Franchise – During June 2024, we expanded our over-the-counter dry eye portfolio with the launch of Blink® NutriTears®, a clinically proven OTC supplement that targets the key root causes of dry eyes, promotes healthy tear production and provides noticeable relief of eye dryness symptoms. In June 2025, the Company began launching Blink® Nourish and Blink® Boost lubricating eye drops in the U.S. We also recently developed a preservative-free lipid-based formulation of our Blink Triple Care® product, which began launching in 2026. •AREDS3TM Vitamins – We have developed AREDS3TM, a next-generation eye vitamin formulation, in an effort to expand our eye vitamins portfolio. AREDS3TM began launching in 2026. •Bioactive Lens – We are developing a new bioactive contact lens incorporating bioactive hyaluronic acid hydrogel, a novel material design for daily disposable contact lens. Internal clinical studies have been ongoing, and we have completed the first external clinical study. Additional studies are planned through 2026. 31 •Myopia Control Contact Lens – A multi-year study has begun for a Myopia control contact lens. We expect the U.S. registration clinical study to start in the second half of 2026. •DD SiHy Lens - A second daily disposable SiHy lens designed for affordable innovation being developed leveraging our existing manufacturing platform. •FRP SiHy - A new premium planned replacement SiHy lens being developed with a focus on providing unsurpassed comfort throughout the month. Pharmaceuticals •Dual-Action Lifitegrast – We are developing the first dual-action therapeutic to address evaporative and inflammatory dry eye. Phase 2b results are anticipated in the second half of 2026. •Ocular Pain – We are developing a first-in-class neurosensory agent therapy for ocular surface pain. We have completed the Phase 1 study and Phase 2 results are anticipated in the second half of 2026. •Glaucoma Neuroprotection – We were in the process of developing the first glaucoma therapy to lower intraocular pressure and improve visual function. However, Phase 2 results were received in July 2026, and the study did not achieve its primary endpoint. Based on the totality of the data, the Company has decided not to advance the program in this indication as a topical eye drop. Surgical •enVista® – We are expanding our portfolio of premium IOLs built on the enVista® platform with the following: ◦enVista Aspire® monofocal and toric IOLs with Intermediate Optimized optics. These IOLs were launched in the U.S. during October 2023 and in Europe and Canada in 2025. ◦enVista Envy® trifocal IOLs. These IOLs launched in Canada in June 2024, in the U.S. in November 2024 and in Europe in October 2025, and launches in Singapore and Hong Kong are expected. ◦enVista BeyondTM extended depth of focus (“EDOF”). The Company recently received topline results, and is conducting a comprehensive review of the data. enVista BeyondTM is anticipated to launch in the U.S. in 2027. •LuxLife® – We are expanding our portfolio of premium IOLs built on the “Lux” platform with the LuxLife® Trifocal IOL with two options, non-Toric and Toric for astigmatic patients. The European launch of this product is in process. •ELIOS® – In December 2024, we acquired Elios Vision, Inc. (“Elios Vision”). Elios Vision, a privately held company, is the developer of the ELIOS® procedure, the first clinically validated, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery procedure using an excimer laser. The U.S. launch of this product is anticipated in the second half of 2026 and we expect this acquisition to then bolster the Company’s glaucoma treatment portfolio. •SeeNovaTM – We are developing the next generation ophthalmic microsurgical system for Anterior, Posterior and Combined segment surgeries. US and EU releases are anticipated in 2028. •SeeLyraTM – Femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery system with integration of phaco components. CE Mark and 510k submission is anticipated in the second half of 2026 and approvals are anticipated by the end of 2026. We also have a number of other pipeline products that we are in the process of developing. In addition to internal development, we continuously search for new product opportunities through strategic licensing agreements and acquisitions, that, if successful, will allow us to leverage our commercial footprint and supplement our existing product portfolio and address specific unmet needs in the market. Business Trends In addition to the actions previously outlined, the events described below have affected and may affect our business trends. The matters discussed in this section contain Forward-Looking Statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information. 32 Geopolitical Conflicts In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. As military activity and sanctions against Russia, Belarus and specific areas of Ukraine have continued, the war has continued to affect economic and global financial markets and placed further pressure on ongoing economic challenges, including issues such as inflation and global supply-chain disruption. The imposed U.S. and European Union (“EU”) sanctions and export controls against Russia and Belarus temporarily impacted our ability to distribute certain products to Russia and Belarus. However, in response to these sanctions, we obtained licenses, or other applicable governmental authorizations, necessary to allow us to sell the applicable currently sanctioned products in each of these countries. To date, the challenges associated with the Russia-Ukraine War and related sanctions from the U.S., EU and elsewhere have not yet had a material impact on our operations; although, we continue to review recent and proposed sanctions imposed by the EU, U.S. and others to assess their impact on our operations. Our revenues attributable to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, in the aggregate, were approximately 3% of our total revenues for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, we do not have any research or manufacturing facilities in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus. The conflict between Israel and Hamas began during October 2023 and expanded to include other countries and militant groups, including Iran. Commencing in February 2026, the conflict further escalated and the U.S. and Israel began launching ongoing missile strikes against Iran, which has launched counter strikes against various targets in the region. The conflict remains ongoing. Our revenues attributable to the impacted regions for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025 were approximately 2% of our total revenues in each period. Sales in Iran are covered by a general Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) license. While we have been monitoring these conflicts (including the potential macroeconomic impact of such conflicts), and will continue to do so as these conflicts continue to evolve, we are unable to predict the impact of these conflicts on the Company’s business, both in the impacted regions and generally. For a further discussion of these and other risks relating to our international business, see “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Business Trends” of our Annual Report. Global Trade and Tariff Environment The Company is monitoring ongoing policy changes being made by the Trump administration, including those related to existing trade agreements and the actual or threatened imposition and implementation of new tariffs and the counter-duties, counter-tariffs and/or other counter-measures threatened or implemented in response by other countries. Some of these policies have targeted countries in which we do business and some policies target the sectors in which we do business, including the recent Presidential proclamation which imposes a one hundred percent (100%) tariff on patented pharmaceutical products and associated pharmaceutical ingredients, subject to certain exemptions for certain countries and certain companies. Given the international scope of our operations and breadth of our product portfolio, any sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Similarly, adverse economic and geopolitical conditions impacting our customers in these countries or uncertainty about global economic conditions or the geopolitical environment could result in purchases of our products to decline, which would adversely affect our revenues and operating results and could also cause a decline in our share price. As of the date of this filing, the current state of recent tariffs, counter-tariffs and other trade restrictions is fluid and continuously evolving; however, the Company is monitoring the situation and believes that, building on its existing revenue stream from products manufactured in-country (which in certain key regions, such as the U.S. and EU, represent a significant portion of the overall revenue), it has certain potential actions that could be taken in response to such tariffs, counter-tariffs and other trade restrictions to help to mitigate their overall impact to the Company and its business. These actions may include strategic inventory stocking, leveraging its global footprint to shift manufacturing and optimizing existing capacity to in-source manufacturing. Additionally, on February 20, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). In response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, new Executive Orders were announced aimed at restructuring U.S. tariff policy and exploring alternative statutory authorities under which to impose or maintain tariffs. On March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) ordered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to liquidate (meaning calculate and finalize) and, where applicable, reliquidate, or correct, certain import entries without regard to duties imposed under the IEEPA. The CIT order provides relief for entries affected by IEEPA tariffs, and, on April 20, 2026, the CBP opened the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) portal to facilitate the submission and processing of IEEPA duty refund claims. We are evaluating the impact of these 33 developments on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations, however, as of the date of this filing, amounts related to tariff recoveries have not been material. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report, for additional information on the risks associated with tariffs. Regulatory Compliance of Bausch + Lomb Facilities In the normal course of business, our products, devices and facilities are the subject of ongoing oversight and review by regulatory and governmental agencies, including general, for cause and pre-approval inspections by the FDA. In June 2026, following a routine FDA inspection of our Tampa, Florida facility, as part of its findings, the FDA issued an Official Action Indicated (“OAI”) of our Tampa, Florida facility. We have submitted to the FDA a response to the initial inspection and a subsequent response to the OAI, in connection with which we have fully completed all comprehensive corrective and preventive actions raised, and we have requested both a meeting with the FDA and a re-inspection of the facility. We are awaiting a response from the FDA on our submission and the scheduling of the re-inspection of the facility. Global Minimum Corporate Tax Rate On October 8, 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”)/G20 inclusive framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (the “Inclusive Framework”) published a statement updating and finalizing the key components of a two-pillar plan on global tax reform. The Inclusive Framework plan has now been agreed to by more than 140 OECD members, including several countries which did not agree to the initial plan. Under Pillar One, a portion of the residual profits of multinational businesses with global turnover above €20 billion and a profit margin above 10% will be allocated to market countries where such allocated profits would be taxed. Under Pillar Two, the Inclusive Framework has agreed on a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for companies with revenue above €750 million, calculated on a country-by-country basis. While many countries have adopted some or all aspects of these rules, some countries have not adopted any or all of them, and many interpretive questions remain that are expected to be addressed in future guidance. On June 20, 2024, Canada enacted the Global Minimum Tax Act (“GMTA”) that adopted certain components of Pillar Two. The GMTA is generally aligned with the model rules proposed by the OECD. The United States did not announce plans to enact the tax measures under the two-pillar plan. On January 20, 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order declaring the Inclusive Framework has no force or effect in the U.S. absent congressional action, and directing the U.S. Department of Treasury to: (i) investigate whether any non-U.S. countries are not in compliance with any U.S. tax treaty or have implemented or are likely to implement tax rules that are extraterritorial or disproportionately affect U.S. companies, which may include actions or taxes imposed under Pillar One or Pillar Two, and (ii) develop options for “protective measures” in response to any such noncompliance or tax rules. On June 28, 2025, the United States and the rest of the G7 countries announced an agreement that would, in principle, exclude U.S. parented groups from certain taxes under Pillar Two and address certain risks of base erosion and profit shifting. In January 2026, the OECD published the “side by side” arrangement package to implement this exclusion. However, we cannot predict whether the United States will adopt any other protective measures including with respect to any taxes imposed under Pillar One, or whether or how any non-U.S. countries may change their tax laws, including with respect to taxes imposed under Pillar One or Pillar Two, in response to the executive order, the “side by side” arrangement described above, or otherwise. It is possible that any changes in United States. or non-U.S. tax law could have a material adverse effect on our future tax liabilities and our effective tax rate. While many jurisdictions in which the Company operates have adopted the global minimum tax provision of Pillar Two effective for tax years beginning in January 2024, the Company has concluded that there is minimal impact to its 2026 tax rate due to the accounting for the tax effects of intercompany transactions. The Company expects that there is risk that the impact of the global minimum tax and other changes in tax law in jurisdictions in which it operates may eventually result in an increase to its overall effective tax rate. U.S. Legislative Changes On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”). The effects of this legislation for the Company include extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts & Jobs Act provisions (both domestic and international). The corporate tax rate remains unchanged but bonus depreciation, domestic R&D expensing, and an adjustment to the interest deduction limitation were retroactive to January 2025. The OBBBA makes additional changes to international tax provisions, including substantive changes to existing global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), foreign-derived intangible income (FDII), and base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT) provisions. These changes are effective for taxable years after 2025. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the enactment of the OBBBA, but has determined that, as of June 30, 2026, it should not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 34 Health Care Reform The U.S. federal and state governments continue to propose and pass legislation designed to regulate the health care industry. Under the former Biden administration, many of these changes focused on health care cost containment, which resulted in pricing pressures relating to the sales and reimbursements of health care products and could result in legislative and regulatory changes that may negatively impact our businesses. We are monitoring potential health care-related legislative and regulatory changes that may be proposed and passed or otherwise pursued under the Trump administration. In addition, we continue to face various proposed health care pricing changes and regulations from governments throughout the world in locations in which we operate our business. These proposed changes may also continue to result in pricing pressures relating to sales, promotions and reimbursement of our product portfolio. We continually review newly enacted and proposed U.S. federal and state legislation, as well as proposed rulemaking and guidance published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the FDA and applicable foreign governments in locations in which we operate; however, at this time, it is unclear the effect these matters may have on our businesses. Generic Competition and Loss of Exclusivity Certain of our products face the expiration of their patent or regulatory exclusivity over the next five years, following which we anticipate generic competition of these products. Following a loss of exclusivity (“LOE”) of and/or generic competition for a product, we would anticipate that product sales for such product would decrease significantly shortly following the LOE or entry of a generic competitor. Where we have the rights, we may elect to launch an authorized generic (“AG”) of such product (either ourselves or through a third party) prior to, upon or following generic entry, which may mitigate the anticipated decrease in product sales. While we expect our risk of LOE to be limited over the next five years, this could change based on, among other things, successful challenge to our patents, settlement of existing or future patent litigation and at-risk generic launches. We believe the entry into the market of generic competition generally would have an adverse impact on the volume and/or pricing of the affected products, however we are unable to predict the magnitude or timing of this impact. We have in the past commenced, and may in the future commence, infringement proceedings with respect to certain of our products against potential generic competitors or other potential infringers in the U.S. and elsewhere. For example, we previously commenced infringement proceedings against potential generic competitors in the U.S. with respect to our PreserVision®, Lumify®, Lotemax® SM and Vyzulta® products, all of which have now been dismissed or otherwise resolved. If we are not successful in such infringement proceedings, we may face increased generic competition for these products. In addition, the PreserVision® U.S. formulation patent expired in March 2021 and the U.S. patent covering methods of using the formulation expired in early 2026. Our revenues from PreserVision® products for 2025 and 2024 accounted for approximately 6% of our total revenues for each period. While PreserVision® and Lumify® were the subjects of certain past patent infringement proceedings and while the Company cannot predict the magnitude or timing of a LOE impact from PreserVision® and Lumify®, as these are OTC products, the impact is not expected to be as significant as the LOE of a branded pharmaceutical product. See Note 16, “LEGAL PROCEEDINGS” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, as well as Note 19, “LEGAL PROCEEDINGS” of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in our Annual Report, for further details regarding certain of these infringement proceedings. The risks of generic competition are a fact of the eye health industry and are not specific to our operations or product portfolio. These risks are not avoidable, but we believe they are manageable. To manage these risks, our leadership team routinely evaluates the impact that generic competition may have on future profitability and operations. In addition to aggressively defending our patents and other intellectual property, our leadership team makes operational and investment decisions regarding these products and businesses at risk, including decisions regarding our pipeline. Our leadership team actively manages our pipeline in order to identify innovative and realizable projects that are expected to provide incremental and sustainable revenues and growth into the future. We believe that we have a well-established product portfolio that is diversified within our core businesses. We also believe that we have a robust pipeline that not only provides for the next generation of our existing products, but also brings new solutions into the market. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report, for additional information on the risks associated with our intellectual property and our competition risks. 35 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Our unaudited operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (in millions) 2026 2025 Change 2026 2025 Change Revenues Product sales $ 1,389 $ 1,272 $ 117 $ 2,628 $ 2,405 $ 223 Other revenues 5 6 (1) 10 10 — 1,394 1,278 116 2,638 2,415 223 Expenses Cost of goods sold (excluding amortization and impairments of intangible assets) 527 523 4 1,009 1,004 5 Cost of other revenues — 2 (2) 1 3 (2) Selling, general and administrative (Note 4) 588 579 9 1,132 1,142 (10) Research and development 114 96 18 215 182 33 Amortization of intangible assets 57 67 (10) 114 134 (20) Other expense, net 25 22 3 51 44 7 1,311 1,289 22 2,522 2,509 13 Operating income (loss) 83 (11) 94 116 (94) 210 Interest income 4 3 1 8 6 2 Interest expense (93) (128) 35 (190) (222) 32 Loss on extinguishment of debt — (9) 9 (1) (9) 8 Foreign exchange and other (5) (2) (3) (8) (8) — Loss before provision for income taxes (11) (147) 136 (75) (327) 252 Benefit from (provision for) income taxes 1 89 (88) (5) 58 (63) Net loss (10) (58) 48 (80) (269) 189 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest (4) (4) — (5) (5) — Net loss attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation $ (14) $ (62) $ 48 $ (85) $ (274) $ 189 36 Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Revenues Our revenues are primarily generated from product sales in the therapeutic areas of eye health that consist of: (i) branded pharmaceuticals, (ii) generic pharmaceuticals, (iii) OTC vitamin and supplement products and (iv) medical devices (contact lenses, IOLs and ophthalmic surgical equipment). Other revenues include alliance and service revenue from the licensing and co-promotion of products and contract service revenue. Contract service revenue is derived primarily from contract manufacturing for third parties and is not material. See Note 17, “SEGMENT INFORMATION” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the disaggregation of revenues which depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by the economic factors of each category of customer contracts. Our revenues were $1,394 million and $1,278 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $116 million, or 9%. The increase was attributable to: (i) increased net realized pricing of $59 million, primarily driven by our Pharmaceuticals and Vision Care segments, (ii) increased volumes of $47 million primarily from our Surgical segment, (iii) the favorable impact of foreign currencies of $12 million and (iv) incremental sales attributable to acquisitions of $3 million, within our Surgical segment. The increases in revenue were partially offset by the impact of divestitures and discontinuations of $5 million primarily related to the discontinuation of certain products within our Vision Care segment. The following table presents segment revenues, segment revenues as a percentage of total revenues and the period-over-period changes in segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. 2026 2025 Change (in millions) Amount Pct. Amount Pct. Amount Pct. Segment Revenues Vision Care $ 784 56 % $ 753 59 % $ 31 4 % Pharmaceuticals 354 26 % 309 24 % 45 15 % Surgical 256 18 % 216 17 % 40 19 % Total revenues $ 1,394 100 % $ 1,278 100 % $ 116 9 % Constant Currency Revenues and Constant Currency Revenue Growth (non-GAAP) Constant Currency Revenue Growth, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as a change in Revenues (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) on a period-over-period basis adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates (if applicable). The Company uses Constant Currency Revenues (non-GAAP) and Constant Currency Revenue Growth (non-GAAP) to assess performance of its reportable segments, and the Company in total, without the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The Company believes that such measures are useful to investors as they provide a supplemental period-to-period comparison. Although changes in foreign currency exchange rates are part of our business, they are not within management’s control. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, however, can mask positive or negative trends in the underlying business performance. The impact for changes in foreign currency exchange rates is determined as the difference in the current period reported revenues at their current period currency exchange rates and the current period reported revenues revalued using the monthly average currency exchange rates during the comparable prior period. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are not prepared in accordance with GAAP nor do they have any standardized meaning under GAAP. In addition, other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures and ratios that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures and ratios. Accordingly, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures and ratios may not be comparable to such similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used by other companies. 37 The following table presents a reconciliation of Revenues to constant currency revenues (non-GAAP) and the period-over-period changes in constant currency revenue (non-GAAP) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Vision Care $ 784 $ (4) $ 780 $ 753 $ 27 4 % Pharmaceuticals 354 (2) 352 309 43 14 % Surgical 256 (6) 250 216 34 16 % Total $ 1,394 $ (12) $ 1,382 $ 1,278 $ 104 8 % Vision Care Segment Revenue The Vision Care segment revenue was $784 million and $753 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $31 million, or 4%. The increase was primarily driven by the performance of SiHy Daily lenses, Ultra® and Biotrue® within our contact lens business and our dry eye portfolio within our consumer eye care business. This increase included: (i) an increase in net pricing of $21 million, (ii) an increase in volumes of $10 million and (iii) the favorable impact of foreign currencies of $4 million, partially offset by the impact of divestitures and discontinuations of $4 million. Pharmaceuticals Segment Revenue The Pharmaceuticals segment revenue was $354 million and $309 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $45 million, or 15%. The increase was primarily driven by: (i) our branded pharmaceuticals business, driven by MIEBO® and XIIDRA® and (ii) increased sales in our international pharmaceuticals business. This increase included: (i) an increase in net pricing of $42 million, (ii) an increase in volumes of $2 million and (iii) the favorable impact of foreign currencies of $2 million. Surgical Segment Revenue The Surgical segment revenue was $256 million and $216 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $40 million, or 19%. The increase was primarily driven by growth in premium IOLs, which reflects continued growth since the 2025 voluntary recall of certain enVista IOL products. This increase included: (i) an increase in volumes of $35 million, (ii) the favorable impact of foreign currencies of $6 million and (iii) incremental sales from acquisitions of $3 million, partially offset by a decrease in net realized pricing of $4 million. Cash Discounts and Allowances, Chargebacks and Distribution Fees As is customary in the health care industry, gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at net product sales. Provisions for these deductions are recognized concurrently with the recognition of gross product sales. These provisions include cash discounts and allowances, chargebacks and distribution fees, which are paid or credited to direct customers, as well as rebates and returns, which can be paid or credited to direct and indirect customers. Provision balances relating to amounts payable to direct customers are netted against trade receivables and balances relating to indirect customers are included in accrued liabilities. 38 We actively manage these offerings, focusing on the incremental costs of our patient assistance programs, the level of discounting to non-retail accounts and identifying opportunities to minimize product returns. We also concentrate on managing our relationships with our payors and wholesalers, reviewing the ranges of our offerings and being disciplined as to the amount and type of incentives we negotiate. Provisions recorded to reduce gross product sales to net product sales and revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 (in millions) Amount Pct. Amount Pct. Gross product sales $ 2,197 100.0 % $ 2,070 100.0 % Provisions to reduce gross product sales to net product sales Discounts and allowances 128 5.80 % 119 5.70 % Returns 23 1.00 % 21 1.00 % Rebates 456 20.80 % 487 23.60 % Chargebacks 182 8.30 % 149 7.20 % Distribution fees 19 0.90 % 22 1.10 % Total provisions 808 36.80 % 798 38.60 % Net product sales 1,389 63.20 % 1,272 61.40 % Other revenues 5 6 Revenues $ 1,394 $ 1,278 Cash discounts and allowances, returns, rebates, chargebacks and distribution fees as a percentage of gross product sales were 36.8% and 38.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of 1.8% percentage points, and is primarily attributable to a decline in rebates, primarily driven by XIIDRA®. Operating Expenses Cost of Goods Sold (exclusive of amortization and impairments of intangible assets) Cost of goods sold primarily includes: manufacturing and packaging; the cost of products we purchase from third parties; royalty payments we make to third parties; depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment; and lower of cost or market adjustments to inventories. Cost of goods sold typically vary between periods as a result of product mix, volume, royalties, changes in foreign currency and inflation. Cost of goods sold excludes the amortization and impairments of intangible assets. Cost of goods sold was $527 million and $523 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $4 million, or 1%. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in sales. Contribution (product sales revenue less cost of goods sold, exclusive of amortization and impairments of intangible assets) increased by $113 million and Cost of goods sold as a percentage of Product sales was 37.9% and 41.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The favorable change was primarily driven by product mix. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of Product sales during the three months ended June 30, 2025, was also unfavorably impacted by the amortization of inventory step-up related to the acquisition of XIIDRA®. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses primarily include: employee compensation associated with sales and marketing, finance, legal, information technology, human resources and other administrative functions; certain outside legal fees and consultancy costs; product promotion expenses; overhead and occupancy costs; depreciation of corporate facilities and equipment; and other general and administrative costs. SG&A expenses were $588 million and $579 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $9 million, or 2%. The increase was primarily attributable to higher selling expense in our Vision Care and Surgical segments, partially offset by lower Business Transformation Costs (as defined and discussed below). Research and Development Expenses Included in R&D are costs related to our product development and quality assurance programs. Expenses related to product development include: employee compensation costs; overhead and occupancy costs; depreciation of research and 39 development facilities and equipment; clinical trial costs; clinical manufacturing and scale-up costs; and other third-party development costs. Quality assurance are the costs incurred to meet evolving customer and regulatory standards and include: employee compensation costs; overhead and occupancy costs; amortization of software; and other third-party costs. R&D expenses were $114 million and $96 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $18 million, or 19%, primarily due to certain products in development, as previously discussed. Amortization of Intangible Assets Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Management continually assesses the useful lives related to our long-lived assets to reflect the most current assumptions. Amortization of Intangible assets was $57 million and $67 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $10 million, or 15%, primarily due to fully amortized intangible assets no longer being amortized. See Note 8, “INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details related to the Amortization of intangible assets. Other expense, net Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 consists of the following: Three Months Ended June 30, (in millions) 2026 2025 Asset impairments $ 9 $ — Restructuring, integration and separation costs 4 31 Litigation and other matters 5 6 Acquired in-process research and development costs 5 1 Acquisition-related costs — 2 Acquisition-related contingent consideration 2 (18) Other expense, net $ 25 $ 22 Operating Income (Loss) Operating income was $83 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to an operating loss of $11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase in our operating results of $94 million. This increase primarily reflects the increase in contribution, as previously discussed. Segment Profit Segment profit is based on operating income (loss) after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as Amortization of intangible assets and Other expense, net, are not included in the measure of segment profit, as management excludes these items in assessing segment financial performance. Segment profit is a measure of operating performance of our reportable segments and may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Segment profit is a performance metric utilized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, to allocate resources to and assess performance of the Company’s segments. See Note 17, “SEGMENT INFORMATION” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment profit to Income before provision for income taxes. The following table presents segment profits, segment profits as a percentage of segment revenues and the period-over-period changes in segment profits for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. 2026 2025 Change (in millions) Amount Pct. Amount Pct. Amount Pct. Segment Profits / Segment Profit Margins Vision Care $ 229 29 % $ 209 28 % $ 20 10 % Pharmaceuticals 89 25 % 37 12 % 52 141 % Surgical 17 7 % 2 1 % 15 750 % 40 Vision Care Segment Profit The Vision Care segment profit was $229 million and $209 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $20 million. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in revenue, as previously discussed, partially offset by increases in selling and R&D expense. Pharmaceuticals Segment Profit The Pharmaceuticals segment profit was $89 million and $37 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $52 million. The increase was primarily driven by: (i) the increase in revenues, as previously discussed and (ii) the impact of the amortization of inventory step-up related to the acquisition of XIIDRA® during three months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by higher R&D expense. Surgical Segment Profit The Surgical segment profit was $17 million and $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $15 million. The increase was primarily due to the increase in revenues, as previously discussed, and higher gross profit primarily driven by the shift to premium IOLs, partially offset by higher selling expense. The second quarter of 2025 was also impacted by the voluntary recall of certain enVista IOL products. Non-Operating Income and Expense Interest Expense Interest expense primarily consists of interest payments due, amortization of debt discounts and deferred issuance costs on indebtedness under our credit facilities. Interest expense was $93 million and $128 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $35 million, primarily driven by: (i) the write-off of financing costs associated with the June 2025 Credit Facility Amendment, as defined below and (ii) lower interest rates on the Company's January 2031 Refinancing Term Facility, as defined below, as compared to the term facilities outstanding during 2025. See Note 10, “FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding our financing arrangements. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt Loss on extinguishment of debt represents the differences between the amounts paid to settle extinguished debts and the carrying value of the related extinguished debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and relates to our June 2025 Credit Facility Amendment, as defined below. Foreign Exchange and Other Foreign exchange and other primarily includes translation gains/losses on intercompany balances and third-party liabilities and the gain/loss due to the change in fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts. Foreign exchange and other was a net loss of $5 million and $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income Taxes Benefit from income taxes was $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a benefit from income taxes of $89 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an unfavorable change of $88 million. The change in income taxes was primarily related to: (i) a change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings resulting in a benefit in the prior year and (ii) discrete tax effects of: (a) a benefit related to a favorable settlement in a foreign jurisdiction, (b) a benefit in the prior year for previously accrued taxes that settled favorably with the Internal Revenue Service and (c) the prior year benefits associated with the filing of certain returns. See Note 14, “INCOME TAXES” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. Net loss attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation Net loss attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation was $14 million and $62 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase in our results of $48 million and was primarily due to the increase in our operating results of $94 million and decrease in interest expense of $35 million, partially offset by the increase in income taxes of $88 million, each as previously discussed. 41 Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Revenues Our revenues were $2,638 million and $2,415 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $223 million, or 9%. The increase was attributable to: (i) increased net realized pricing of $97 million, driven by our Pharmaceuticals and Vision Care segments, (ii) increased volumes of $76 million across each of our segments, (iii) the favorable impact of foreign currencies of $54 million and (iv) incremental sales attributable to acquisitions of $4 million, within our Surgical segment. The increases in revenue were partially offset by the impact of divestitures and discontinuations of $8 million, primarily relating to the discontinuation of certain products within our Vision Care segment. The following table presents segment revenues, segment revenues as a percentage of total revenues and the period-over-period changes in segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. 2026 2025 Change (in millions) Amount Pct.

The increase was primarily driven by sales from our dry eye portfolio and Lumify® within our consumer eye care business and the performance of SiHy Daily lenses, Ultra® and Biotrue® within our contact lens business. This increase included: (i) an increase in net pricing of $39 million, (ii) the favorable impact of foreign currencies of $29 million and (iii) an increase in volumes of $25 million, partially offset by the impact of discontinuations of $7 million. Pharmaceuticals Segment Revenue The Pharmaceuticals segment revenue was $659 million and $576 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $83 million, or 14%.

The increase included: (i) an increase in net realized pricing of $60 million, (ii) an increase in volumes of $17 million and (iii) the favorable impact of foreign currencies of $7 million. Surgical Segment Revenue The Surgical segment revenue was $484 million and $430 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $54 million, or 13%. The increase was primarily driven by growth in premium IOLs, which reflects continued growth since the 2025 voluntary recall of certain enVista IOL products. This increase included: (i) an increase in volumes of $34 million, (ii) the favorable impact of foreign currencies of $18 million and (iii) incremental sales from acquisitions of $4 million, partially offset by a decrease in net realized pricing of $2 million. 42 Cash Discounts and Allowances, Chargebacks and Distribution Fees Provisions recorded to reduce gross product sales to net product sales and revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 (in millions) Amount Pct.

Operating Expenses Cost of Goods Sold (exclusive of amortization and impairments of intangible assets) Cost of goods sold was $1,009 million and $1,004 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $5 million, or less than 1%. The increase was primarily driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currencies on this expense and higher volumes. Contribution (product sales revenue less cost of goods sold, exclusive of amortization and impairments of intangible assets) increased by $218 million and Cost of goods sold as a percentage of Product sales was 38.4% and 41.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The favorable change was primarily driven by: (i) product mix and (ii) the favorable impact of foreign currencies to revenues. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of Product sales during the six months ended June 30, 2025, was also unfavorably impacted by the amortization of inventory step-up related to the acquisition of XIIDRA®, as well as the impact of the voluntary recall of certain enVista® IOL products. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses SG&A expenses were $1,132 million and $1,142 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $10 million, or 1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to: (i) lower Business Transformation Costs (as defined below), and (ii) lower advertising and promotional expense as XIIDRA® and MIEBO® have exited the launch phase, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currencies on this expense. Research and Development Expenses R&D expenses were $215 million and $182 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $33 million, or 18%, primarily due to certain products in development, as previously discussed.

The increase was primarily driven by the increase in revenue, as previously discussed, partially offset by higher selling expense. Pharmaceuticals Segment Profit The Pharmaceuticals segment profit was $155 million and $48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $107 million. The increase was primarily driven by: (i) the increase in revenues, as previously discussed, (ii) the impact of the amortization of inventory step-up related to the acquisition of XIIDRA® during 2025 and (iii) lower advertising and promotional expense as XIIDRA® and MIEBO® have exited the launch phase, partially offset by higher R&D expense. Surgical Segment Profit The Surgical segment profit was $26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a loss of $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $31 million. The increase was primarily due to: (i) the increase in revenues, as previously discussed, (ii) higher gross profit primarily driven by the shift to premium IOLs and (iii) the enVista® recall which impacted 2025. 44 Non-Operating Income and Expense Interest Expense Interest expense was $190 million and $222 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $32 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to: (i) the write-off of financing costs associated with the June 2025 Credit Facility Amendment, as defined below and (ii) lower interest rates on the Company's January 2031 Refinancing Term Facility, as defined below, as compared to the term facilities outstanding during 2025. See Note 10, “FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding our financing arrangements. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt Loss on extinguishment of debt was $1 million and $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as a result of the January 2026 Credit Facility Amendment and June 2025 Credit Facility Amendment, each as defined below. Foreign Exchange and Other Foreign exchange and other was a net loss of $8 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income Taxes Provision for income taxes was $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a benefit from income taxes of $58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an unfavorable change of $63 million. The change in income taxes was primarily related to: (i) a change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings resulting in a benefit in the prior year and (ii) discrete tax effects of: (a) a benefit related to a favorable settlement in a foreign jurisdiction, (b) the year to date impact of the enVista® recall in the prior year and (c) a benefit for previously accrued taxes that settled favorably with the Internal Revenue Service in the prior year. See Note 14, “INCOME TAXES” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. Net loss attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation Net loss attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $85 million and $274 million, respectively, an increase in our results of $189 million and was primarily driven by the increase in our operating results of $210 million and decrease in interest expense of $32 million, partially offset by the increase in the provision for income taxes of $63 million, each as previously discussed. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flows Six Months Ended June 30, (in millions) 2026 2025 Change Net cash provided by operating activities $ 185 $ 10 $ 175 Net cash used in investing activities (217) (206) (11) Net cash provided by financing activities 14 121 (107) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (1) 31 (32) Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (19) (44) 25 Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 397 316 81 Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 378 $ 272 $ 106 Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $185 million and $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $175 million, and is primarily attributable to the increase in our operating results, as previously discussed, partially offset by the timing of payments in the normal course of business. 45 Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $217 million and $206 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $11 million. The increase was primarily driven by a $35 million milestone payment during the six months ended June 30, 2026, after achieving an annual sales-based milestone for MIEBO®, under the terms of a December 2019 license agreement with Novaliq GmbH, partially offset by a decrease in purchases of property, plant and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities was $14 million and $121 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $107 million. The decrease is primarily attributable to borrowings under the May 2027 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Liquidity and Debt Future Sources of Liquidity Our primary sources of liquidity are expected to be our cash and cash equivalents, cash collected from customers, funds as needed from our June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility, and issuances of other long-term debt, additional equity and equity-linked securities. In addition, as part of our ongoing working capital management, on January 9, 2026, we entered into a financing arrangement, that permits us, subject to certain conditions, to sell certain receivables to a third-party financial institution, potentially accelerating access to cash and reducing our credit risk. As of the date of this filing, the Company sold trade receivables and received cash proceeds totaling $26 million, under this arrangement. As of June 30, 2026, these receivables were collected and remitted to the financial institution. We believe these sources will be sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs for the next twelve months, from the date of this filing, and be sufficient to support our future cash needs; however, we can provide no assurance that our liquidity and capital resources will meet future funding requirements. The global financial markets recently have undergone and may continue to experience significant volatility and disruption. The timing and sustainability of an economic recovery is uncertain and additional macroeconomic, business and financial disruptions may arise. As markets change, there can be no assurance that the challenging economic environment or a further economic downturn would not impact our liquidity or our ability to obtain future financing on reasonable terms or at all. We regularly evaluate market conditions, our liquidity profile and various financing alternatives for opportunities to enhance our capital structure. If opportunities are favorable, we may from time to time enter into new financing arrangements, refinance the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below) or repurchase debt, or issue additional equity and equity-linked securities. Long-term Debt On May 10, 2022, Bausch + Lomb entered into a credit agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”), providing for a term loan of $2,500 million (the “May 2027 Term Facility”) and a revolving credit facility of $500 million (the “May 2027 Revolving Credit Facility”). On September 29, 2023, Bausch + Lomb entered into an incremental term loan facility in the form of an incremental amendment (the “September 2023 Credit Facility Amendment”) to the credit agreement and consisted of borrowings of $500 million in new term B loans with a five-year term to maturity (the “September 2028 Term Facility”).

This incremental term loan facility was entered into in the form of an incremental amendment (the “November 2024 Credit Facility Amendment”) to our credit agreement and consisted of borrowing $400 million of new term loans with a maturity of May 2027 (the “May 2027 Incremental Term Facility”). 46 On June 26, 2025, Bausch + Lomb entered into an incremental amendment (the “June 2025 Credit Facility Amendment”) to our credit agreement, which consisted of a new $800 million revolving credit facility maturing June 26, 2030 (the “June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a new $2,325 million term B loan facility maturing January 15, 2031 (the “January 2031 Term Facility”). In addition, on June 26, 2025, Bausch + Lomb’s subsidiaries, Bausch + Lomb Netherlands B.V. and Bausch & Lomb Incorporated (the “Issuers”), issued €675 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due January 2031 (the “January 2031 Secured Notes” and, together with the October 2028 Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”). The January 2031 Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum of: (i) three-month EURIBOR (subject to a 0% floor) plus (ii) 3.875%, reset quarterly, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2026. At June 30, 2026, the January 2031 Secured Notes bore interest at 6.08% per annum. The proceeds from the January 2031 Secured Notes, along with the proceeds of the January 2031 Term Facility, were used by the Company to: (i) repay in full outstanding borrowings under the May 2027 Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) refinance, in full, its outstanding term loans due 2027 (the May 2027 Term Facility and May 2027 Incremental Term Facility) and (iii) pay related fees and expenses. On January 2, 2026, the Company entered into a refinancing transaction amendment (the “January 2026 Credit Facility Amendment”; the Original Credit Agreement, as amended by the September 2023 Credit Facility Amendment, the November 2024 Credit Facility Amendment, the June 2025 Credit Facility Amendment and the January 2026 Credit Facility Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) providing for a new $2,802 million term loan facility maturing on January 15, 2031 (the “January 2031 Refinancing Term Facility” or the “Term Facilities”; the Term Facilities, together with the June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Company used the proceeds from the January 2031 Refinancing Term Facility to refinance, in full, its outstanding term loans (September 2028 Term Facility and January 2031 Term Facility). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of Bausch + Lomb and its material, wholly-owned Canadian, U.S., Dutch and Irish subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Term Facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, and borrowings under the June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility may be made available in U.S. dollars, euros, pounds sterling and Canadian dollars. As of June 30, 2026, the principal amounts outstanding under the January 2031 Refinancing Term Facility were $2,795 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $150 million of outstanding borrowings, $32 million of issued and outstanding letters of credit and remaining availability, subject to certain customary conditions, of $618 million under its June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility. The stated rate of interest for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2026 ranges from 6.36% to 6.40% per annum. Borrowings under the June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility in: (i) U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Bausch + Lomb’s option, either: (a) a term SOFR-based rate or (b) a U.S. dollar base rate, (ii) Canadian dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Bausch + Lomb’s option, either: (a) a term CORRA-based rate or (b) a Canadian dollar prime rate, (iii) euros bear interest at a rate per annum equal to EURIBOR and (iv) pounds sterling bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SONIA, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable interest rate margins for borrowings under the June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility are between 0.75% to 1.75% with respect to U.S. dollar base rate or Canadian dollar prime rate borrowings and between 1.75% to 2.75% with respect to SOFR, CORRA, EURIBOR or SONIA borrowings based on Bausch + Lomb’s total net leverage ratio. In addition, Bausch + Lomb is required to pay commitment fees of 0.25% per annum in respect of the unutilized commitments under the June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. Bausch + Lomb is also required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable margin on SOFR borrowings under the June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit and agency fees. Borrowings under the January 2031 Refinancing Term Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either: (i) a term SOFR-based rate, plus an applicable margin of 3.75%, or (ii) a U.S. dollar base rate, plus an applicable margin of 2.75%. The stated rate of interest under the January 2031 Refinancing Term Facility at June 30, 2026 was 7.39% per annum. Subject to certain exceptions and customary baskets set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, Bausch + Lomb is required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans under Term Facilities under certain circumstances, including from: (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds of insurance and condemnation proceeds for property or asset losses (subject to reinvestment rights, decrease based on leverage ratios and net proceeds threshold), (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the incurrence of debt (other than permitted debt as described in the Amended Credit Agreement), (iii) 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) subject to decrease based on leverage ratios and subject to a threshold amount 47 and (iv) 100% of net cash proceeds from asset sales (subject to reinvestment rights, decrease based on leverage ratios and net proceeds threshold). These mandatory prepayments may be used to satisfy future amortization. The amortization rate for the January 2031 Refinancing Term Facility is 1.00% per annum, or $28 million, payable in quarterly installments, with the first installment paid on June 30, 2026. Bausch + Lomb may direct that prepayments be applied to such amortization payments in order of maturity. As of June 30, 2026, the remaining mandatory quarterly amortization payments for the January 2031 Refinancing Term Facility were $126 million through December 2030, with the remaining term loan balance being due in January 2031.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations, financial condition, capital expenditures, liquidity, or capital resources. Other Future Cash Requirements Our other future cash requirements relate to working capital, capital expenditures, business development transactions (contingent consideration), restructuring and integration, benefit obligations and litigation settlements. In addition, we may use cash to enter into licensing arrangements and/or to make strategic acquisitions. We regularly consider further acquisition opportunities, some of which could be sizable. In addition to our working capital requirements, as of the date of this filing, July 29, 2026, we expect our primary cash requirements for the period July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 to include: •Debt repayments and interest—We expect to make interest payments of approximately $200 million and mandatory debt amortization payments of $14 million for the period July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and may elect to make additional principal payments under certain circumstances. Further, in the ordinary course of business, we may borrow and repay amounts under our June 2030 Revolving Credit Facility to meet business needs, see Item 1A. Risk Factors—"Our indebtedness could adversely affect our business and our ability to meet our obligations” included in our Annual Report; •Capital expenditures—We expect to make payments of approximately $115 million for property, plant and equipment for the period July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Cost Savings Programs The Company has been launching certain initiatives that may result in certain changes to, and investment in, its organizational structure and operations. The Company refers to the charges related to these initiatives as “Business Transformation Costs”. These costs are recorded in SG&A in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and include third-party advisory costs. 48 Further, we continue to evaluate opportunities to improve our operating performance and may initiate cost savings programs to streamline our operations and eliminate redundant processes and expenses. These cost savings programs may include, but are not limited to: (i) reducing headcount, (ii) eliminating real estate costs associated with unused or under-utilized facilities and (iii) implementing contribution margin improvement and other cost reduction initiatives. Although a specific plan does not exist at this time, we may identify and take additional exit and cost-rationalization restructuring actions in the future, the costs of which could be material. Future Litigation In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in litigation, claims, government inquiries, investigations, charges and proceedings. See Note 16, “LEGAL PROCEEDINGS” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of these matters. Our ability to successfully defend the Company against pending and future litigation may impact cash flows. Future Licensing Payments In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into select licensing and collaborative agreements for the commercialization and/or development of unique products. In connection with these agreements, the Company may pay an upfront fee to secure the agreement and be subject to potential future milestone payments. See Note 20, “COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES” to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in our Annual Report. OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA Our common shares are listed on the TSX and the NYSE under the ticker symbol “BLCO”. At July 22, 2026, we had 357,165,246 issued and outstanding common shares. In addition, as of July 22, 2026, we had outstanding approximately 9,800,000 stock options and 6,800,000 restricted share units that each represent the right of a holder to receive one of Bausch + Lomb’s common shares and 6,200,000 performance-based restricted share units that represent the right of a holder to receive a number of the Company’s common shares up to a specified maximum. A maximum of 15,000,000 common shares could be issued upon vesting of the performance-based restricted share units outstanding. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Critical accounting policies and estimates are those policies and estimates that are most important and material to the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and which require management’s most subjective and complex judgment due to the need to select policies from among alternatives available, and to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reassessed the critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in Note 2 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, and determined that there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2026. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS None.
