Pharmaceuticals Segment Pharmaceuticals segment revenue was $354 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $309 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $45 million, or 15%. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $2 million, segment revenue increased on a constant currency basis by approximately 14% compared to the second quarter of 2025. Performance was driven by growth in branded pharmaceuticals – specifically MIEBO and XIIDRA – and increased sales in international pharmaceuticals. Operating Results Operating income was $83 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to an operating loss of $11 million for the second quarter of 2025, a favorable change of $94 million. The change was driven by revenue growth noted above and operating efficiencies. Net Loss Net loss attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation for the second quarter of 2026 was $14 million, as compared to $62 million for the second quarter of 2025, a favorable change of $48 million. The change was primarily due to operating results noted above and the impact of financing fees from the June 2025 debt refinancing transaction, partially offset by a decrease in the benefit from income taxes. Adjusted net income attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2026 was $55 million, as compared to adjusted net income attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (non-GAAP) of $25 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $30 million. Cash Flow from Operations Cash flow from operations for the second quarter of 2026 was $153 million, as compared to cash flow from operations of $35 million for the second quarter of 2025, a favorable change of $118 million. Cash flow from operations was positively impacted by operating results noted above. Earnings Per Share GAAP Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Basic and Diluted attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation for the second quarter of 2026 was ($0.04), as compared to ($0.18) for the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EPS attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.15, as compared to $0.07, for the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) ; Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $241 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $191 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $50 million. Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) was $246 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $192 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $54 million. The change was primarily due to revenue growth noted above and operating efficiencies. 2026 Financial Outlook Bausch + Lomb provided updated guidance for the full year of 2026 as follows: As of April 29, 2026As of July 29, 2026 Full-Year Revenue $5.420B – $5.520B 5.3 – 7.2% constant currency growth $5.440B – $5.540B 5.8 – 7.7% constant currency growth Full-Year Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) $1.010B – $1.060B $1.025B – $1.075B Full-Year Revenue Foreign Exchange Tailwinds $50M $45M Full-Year Adj. EBITDA Excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) Foreign Exchange Tailwinds Nominal Nominal Other than with respect to GAAP revenue, the company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D (non-GAAP) to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation or of forward-looking constant currency revenue growth to reported revenue growth, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. These amounts may be material and, therefore, could result in the projected GAAP measure or ratio being materially different or less than the projected non-GAAP measure or ratio. These statements represent forward-looking information and may represent a financial outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Forward-looking Statements section of this news release. Balance Sheet Highlights 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 1 1 1 1 1 1

Bausch + Lomb’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $378 million at June 30, 2026 Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2026 were 357.1 million, and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2026 were 360.2 million Pipeline Update As part of today's earnings announcement, Bausch + Lomb is reporting topline results from a pivotal clinical study evaluating the enVista Beyond investigational IOL, which was designed to provide cataract patients with an expanded range of functional vision following cataract surgery. The multicenter study evaluated visual performance and safety outcomes in patients undergoing cataract surgery. The study met several of its co-primary effectiveness endpoints, demonstrating improved and statistically superior intermediate vision and a greater depth of focus compared with a monofocal control lens, while maintaining distance visual acuity comparable to the control. The overall dataset demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in functional vision and validated key attributes of the lens' optical profile despite narrowly missing predefined performance targets related to depth of focus and intermediate visual performance. The study further demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with no device-related adverse events or secondary surgical interventions related to the optical properties of the lens. Safety outcomes were consistent with established benchmarks for IOLs, and no new safety concerns were identified during the study. In addition, visual quality assessments supported preservation of visual performance under low-light conditions. Bausch + Lomb is conducting a comprehensive review of the data and will engage with regulatory authorities on next steps to support submission of the enVista Beyond IOL program.

(“BHC”) (the “separation”), which include, but are not limited to, the expected benefits and costs of the separation, the expected timing of completion of the separation and its manner and terms (including that it may include the transfer of all or a portion of BHC’s remaining direct or indirect equity interest in 4
Page 4
Bausch + Lomb to its shareholders (the “distribution”)), the expectation that, if the separation is to be effected through a distribution, then it will be completed following the achievement of targeted debt leverage ratios, subject to receipt of applicable shareholder and other necessary approvals and other factors, including those described in BHC’s public statements, the ability to complete the distribution considering the various conditions to the completion of the distribution (some of which are outside the company’s and BHC’s control, including conditions related to regulatory matters and receipt of applicable shareholder and other approvals), the impact of any potential sales of the company’s common shares by BHC (including in connection with a foreclosure on the Bausch + Lomb common shares owned by BHC or its subsidiaries that are or may be pledged as collateral for certain of BHC’s or its subsidiary’s debt), that market or other conditions are no longer favorable to completing the transaction, that applicable shareholder, stock exchange, regulatory or other approval is not obtained on the terms or timelines anticipated or at all, business disruption during the pendency of or following the separation, diversion of management time on separation- related issues, retention of existing management team members, the reaction of customers and other parties to the separation, the structure of the distribution, the qualification of the distribution as a tax-free transaction for Canadian and/or U.S. federal income tax purposes (including whether or not an advance ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency and/or the Internal Revenue Service will be sought or obtained), the ability of the company and BHC to satisfy the conditions required to maintain the tax-free status of such distribution (some of which are beyond their control), other potential tax or other liabilities that may arise as a result of the distribution, the potential dis-synergy costs resulting from the separation, the impact of the separation on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties, general economic conditions, conditions in the markets the company is engaged in, behavior of customers, suppliers and competitors, technological developments and legal and regulatory rules affecting the company’s business. In particular, the company can offer no assurance that the separation will occur at all, or that any such transaction will occur on the terms and timelines or in the manner anticipated by the company and BHC. They also include risks and uncertainties relating to acquisitions and other business development transactions the company has completed or may, in the future, pursue and complete, including risks that pending transactions may not close, risks that the company may not realize the expected benefits of those transactions on a timely basis or at all and, where applicable, risks relating to increased levels of debt as a result of debt incurred to finance such transactions, including in regards to compliance with our debt covenants. They also include risks and uncertainties related to the impacts of the new legislation commonly referred to as One Big Beautiful Bill Act, including the effects on our tax provision for both 2026 and future years. They also include the expected impact of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. and counter-tariffs or other retaliatory measures imposed on the U.S. by other countries and disruptions to global supply chains and other potential results as a result of these developments and our ability to successfully manage the expected impact of such tariffs and counter-tariffs and other measures, including the success of actions and levers we have taken and may take to manage these matters, as well as the impact of potential tariff refunds or recoveries, if any. They also include risks and uncertainties related to our ability to adopt and integrate artificial intelligence solutions into various aspects of our business and operations responsibly and in compliance with applicable legislation, laws, rules, regulation and guidance. Finally, they also include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties caused by or relating to adverse economic conditions and other macroeconomic factors, including risks and uncertainties associated with the conflict in the Middle East, over which we have no control, including heightened inflation and interest rates, foreign currency rates, slower growth or a potential recession, which could adversely impact our revenue, expenses and resulting margins. In addition, certain material factors and assumptions have been applied in making these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the assumption that the risks and uncertainties outlined above will not cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements. In addition, management has also made certain assumptions regarding our 2026 full-year guidance with respect to expectations regarding base performance growth, business performance, currency impact, inflation, the company's ability to offset the impact of tariffs in 2026 (based on the current tariff policy and the actions the company is taking to manage these measures), expectations regarding adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP), adjusted SG&A expense (non-GAAP) and the company’s ability to continue to manage such expense in the manner anticipated, net interest expense (which will vary based on, among other things, interest rates and our indebtedness), adjusted tax rate and full year capex and the anticipated timing and extent of the company’s R&D expense. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Bausch + Lomb undertakes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release or to reflect actual outcomes, unless required by law. Links provided in this news release are solely for information purposes and do not constitute Bausch + Lomb affirming any forward-looking statements contained in the linked content. Non-GAAP Information To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios. Management uses these non-GAAP measures and ratios as key metrics in the evaluation of the company’s performance and the consolidated financial results and, in part, in the determination of cash bonuses for its executive officers. The company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios are useful to investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of the company. In addition, these non-GAAP measures and ratios address questions the company routinely receives from analysts and investors, and in order to assure that all investors have access to similar data, the company has determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors. These measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and 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, our non-GAAP financial measures and ratios may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures and ratios of other companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures and ratios, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP
Page 5
measures and ratios. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. They should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliations of these historic non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to the most directly comparable financial measures and ratios calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below. Specific Non-GAAP Measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired IPR&D and Adjusted EBITDA growth (excluding Acquired IPR&D) EBITDA (non-GAAP) is Net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is EBITDA (non-GAAP) further adjusted for the items described below. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), along with the GAAP measures used by management, most appropriately reflect how the company measures the business internally and sets operational goals and incentives. In particular, the company believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) focuses management on the company’s underlying operational results and business performance. As a result, the company uses Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) both to assess the actual financial performance of the company and to forecast future results as part of its guidance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is a useful measure to evaluate current performance. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors. In addition, cash bonuses for the company’s executive officers and other key employees are based, in part, on the achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) targets. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is Net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest expense, net, (benefit from) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and further adjusted for the following items: Asset impairments: The company has excluded the impact of impairments of finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions and divestitures. The company believes that the adjustments of these items correlate with the sustainability of the company’s operating performance. Although the company excludes impairments of intangible assets from measuring the performance of the company and its business, the company believes that it is important for investors to understand that intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Restructuring, integration and transformation costs: The company has incurred restructuring costs as it implemented certain strategies, which involved, among other things, improvements to its infrastructure and operations, internal reorganizations and impacts from the divestiture of assets and businesses. With regard to infrastructure and operational improvements which the company has taken to improve efficiencies in the businesses and facilities, these tend to be costs intended to right size the business or organization that fluctuate significantly between periods in amount, size and timing, depending on the improvement project, reorganization or transaction. Additionally, with the completion of the Bausch + Lomb IPO, as the company prepares for post-separation operations, the company is launching certain transformation initiatives that will result in certain changes to and investment in its organizational structure and operations. These transformation initiatives arise outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations and, as is the case with the company’s restructuring efforts, costs associated with these transformation initiatives are expected to fluctuate between periods in amount, size and timing. These out-of-the-ordinary-course charges include third-party advisory costs, as well as certain compensation- related costs. Investors should understand that the outcome of these transformation initiatives may result in future restructuring actions and certain of these charges could recur. The company believes that the adjustments of these items provide supplemental information with regard to the sustainability of the company’s operating performance, allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental information to investors. Acquisition-related costs and adjustments excluding amortization of intangible assets: The company has excluded the impact of acquisition-related costs and fair value inventory step-up resulting from acquisitions as the amounts and frequency of such costs and adjustments are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of its acquisitions. In addition, the company excludes the impact of acquisition-related contingent consideration non-cash adjustments due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to fair value estimates, and the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of the company’s acquisitions, as well as the nature of the agreed-upon consideration. Share-based compensation: The company excludes costs relating to share-based compensation. The company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense assists investors in the comparisons of operating results to peer companies. Share- based compensation expense can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. Separation costs and separation-related costs: The company has excluded certain costs incurred in connection with activities taken to: (i) separate the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and (ii) register the Bausch + Lomb business as an independent publicly traded entity. Separation costs are incremental costs directly related to effectuating the separation of the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and include, but are not limited to, legal, audit and advisory fees, talent acquisition costs and costs associated with establishing a new Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Separation-related costs are incremental costs indirectly related to the separation of the Bausch + Lomb business from the remainder of BHC and include, but are not limited to, IT infrastructure and software licensing costs, rebranding costs and costs associated with facility relocation and/or modification. As these costs arise from events outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations, the company believes that the adjustments of these items provide supplemental information with regard to the sustainability of the company’s operating performance, allow for a comparison of the financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance and, as a result, provide useful supplemental information to investors.
Page 6
Loss on extinguishment of debt: The company has excluded loss on extinguishment of debt as this represents a loss from refinancing our existing debt and is not a reflection of our operations for the period. Further, the amount and frequency of such amounts are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt financing transactions and other factors in the debt market that are not within management’s control. Other Non-GAAP adjustments: The company also excludes certain other amounts, including IT infrastructure investment, litigation and other matters, gain/(loss) on sales of assets and certain other amounts that are the result of other, non-comparable events to measure operating performance if and when present in the periods presented. These events arise outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Given the unique nature of the matters relating to these costs, the company believes these items are not routine operating expenses. For example, legal settlements and judgments vary significantly, in their nature, size and frequency, and, due to this volatility, the company believes the costs associated with legal settlements and judgments are not routine operating expenses. The company excluded these costs as this event is outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations and is infrequent in nature. The company believes that the exclusion of such out-of-the-ordinary-course amounts provides supplemental information to assist in the comparison of the financial results of the company from period to period and, therefore, provides useful supplemental information to investors. However, investors should understand that many of these costs could recur and that companies in our industry often face litigation. Adjusted EBITDA excluding Acquired In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D) (non-GAAP) is Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) further adjusted to exclude Acquired IPR&D. The IPR&D expenditures represent costs directly resulting from business development transactions and not through the normal course of business. The company believes that the exclusion of such out-of-the-ordinary-course amounts provides supplemental information to assist in the comparison of the financial results of the company from period to period and, therefore, provides useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our performance. However, investors should understand that the company may enter into additional business development transactions in the future and, as a result, such Acquired IPR&D may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA growth (excluding Acquired IPR&D) is changes in Adjusted EBITDA (excluding Acquired IPR&D) from period to period. Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) is net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for asset impairments, restructuring, integration and transformation costs, acquisition-related costs and adjustments (excluding amortization of intangible assets), separation costs and separation-related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and other non- GAAP adjustments, as these adjustments are described above, and further adjusted for amortization of intangible assets and write-down of financing fees, as described below: Amortization of intangible assets: The company has excluded the impact of amortization of intangible assets, as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. The company believes that the adjustments of these items correlate with the sustainability of the company’s operating performance. Although the company excludes the amortization of intangible assets from its non-GAAP expenses, the company believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. Write-down of financing fees: In addition to excluding loss on extinguishment of debt, the company has excluded write-down of financing fees as this represents a loss from refinancing our existing debt and is not a reflection of our operations for the period. Further, the amount and frequency of such amounts are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt financing transactions and other factors in the debt market that are not within management’s control. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of these certain items that may obscure trends in the company’s underlying performance. Management uses Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing this non-GAAP measure, it is management’s intention to provide investors with a meaningful, supplemental comparison of the company’s operating results and trends for the periods presented. Management believes that this measure is also useful to investors as such measure allows investors to evaluate the company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. Accordingly, the company believes that Adjusted net income (non- GAAP) is useful to investors in their assessment of the company’s operating performance and the valuation of the company. It is also noted that, in recent periods, our GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation was significantly lower than our Adjusted net income (non-GAAP). Constant Currency Constant currency change or constant currency revenue growth is a change in GAAP revenue (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) on a period-over-period basis adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company uses Constant Currency revenue (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. Constant currency impact is determined by comparing current period reported amounts adjusted to exclude currency impact, calculated using monthly average exchange rates from the prior comparable period to the actual prior comparable period reported amounts.

Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) Adjusted earnings per share or Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) is calculated as Diluted income per share attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation (“GAAP EPS”) (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure), adjusted for the per diluted share impact of each adjustment made to reconcile Net income (loss) attributable to Bausch + Lomb Corporation to Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) as discussed above. Like Adjusted net income (non-GAAP), Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of certain items that may obscure trends in the company’s underlying performance on a per share basis. By disclosing this non-GAAP measure, it is management’s intention to provide investors with a meaningful, supplemental comparison of the company’s results and trends for the periods presented on a diluted share basis. Accordingly, the company believes that Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) is useful to investors in their assessment of the company’s operating performance, the valuation of the company and an investor’s return on investment. It is also noted that, for the periods presented, our GAAP EPS was significantly lower than our Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP). © 2026 Bausch + Lomb. FINANCIAL TABLES FOLLOW ___________________________ This is a non-GAAP measure or a non-GAAP ratio. For further information on non-GAAP measures and non-GAAP ratios, please refer to the “Non-GAAP Information” section of this news release. Please also refer to tables at the end of this news release for a reconciliation of this and other non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The guidance in this news release is only effective as of the date given, July 29, 2026, and will not be updated or affirmed unless and until the company publicly announces updated or affirmed guidance. Distribution or reference of this news release following July 29, 2026, does not constitute the company reaffirming guidance. See the “Forward-looking Statements” section for further information. This guidance does not take into consideration any changes in tariff policy, given the dynamic nature of the situation. The increase in the anticipated full-year revenue is a result of continued strong business performance in the second quarter of 2026 and anticipated stronger business performance for the remainder of 2026 in the amount of $25 million, partially offset by a decrease of $5 million in expected currency tailwinds (such decrease is a result of exchange rates moderating). The increases in anticipated constant currency revenue growth and anticipated full-year adjusted EBITDA (excluding acquired IPR&D) are a result of the aforementioned continued strong business performance in the second quarter of 2026 and anticipated stronger business performance for the remainder of 2026. Diluted weighted average shares includes the dilutive impact of options, performance based restricted stock units and restricted stock units, which are approximately 3,100,000 common shares for the 3 months ended June 30, 2026, and which are excluded when calculating GAAP diluted loss per share because the effect of including the impact would be anti-dilutive.
