Commenting on the Company's first quarter financial performance , Mark L. Baum , CEO of Harrow Health , said , " The first quarter of 2021 was the best financial quarter in Harrow Health's history . However , our financial performance is only part of the story - the first quarter was also outstanding in terms of our success in customer growth , product development , enhancing operating efficiencies , and the advancement of our longer - term strategic goals . The number of product units we distributed during the first quarter increased 25 % over the prior - year quarter , and commercial sales under our DEXYCU contract , which began in mid - 2020 , increased 39 % over the fourth quarter of 2020. In addition , we have a robust acquisition pipeline , and our ability to raise over $ 75 million over the last couple of months has significantly improved our capital base , ensuring that we have adequate liquidity and the financial flexibility to not only pursue additional acquisitions and transactions , but also to meet future challenges . " Thanks to the dedication of the entire Harrow family of employees , the underlying fundamentals for our eyecare - focused business and the financial and operational momentum we have built during the last three quarters hold great promise for Harrow Health . In addition , I anticipate that pent - up demand for ophthalmic procedures that were delayed due to COVID - 19 will result in increased revenues for our customers which will result in increased revenues for Harrow . All these positive forces serve as the basis for our enthusiasm for the remainder of 2021 as we demonstrate the earnings capability of incremental revenue growth in the business .
