San Diego, CA —August 6, 2015— TearLab Corporation (NASDAQ:TEAR; TSX:TLB) (“TearLab” or the “Company”) today reported its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015. All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. currency and results are reported in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

A total of 394 orders for TearLab systems were booked in the second quarter, of which 303 were under the Company’s new Flex program and 28 were purchased outside of the U.S.
“We had a strong Q2, characterized by the continuing growth of our installed base and accelerating performance of our Flex program.

The Company’s net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $8.1 million, or $0.24 per share on a non-diluted basis.

This included approximately $0.4 million in non-cash income related to the revaluation of warrants issued in June 2011.
TearLab also announced today that the March 2015 term loan agreement with CRG, under which the Company secured up to $35 million of available borrowing capacity, has been amended. In connection with this amendment, TearLab now has the option of accessing a second tranche of $10 million in funding through November 2015, which is not subject to any revenue milestones. As consideration, TearLab has agreed to grant CRG five year warrants allowing it to purchase up to 350,000 common shares of TearLab at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. All other terms and conditions from the original agreement remain in place.
Mr. Vamvakas also noted, “We are very pleased to amend our loan agreement with CRG, an important strategic financial partner for our company. Their flexible funding solutions provide us certainty on our near-term financing and additional runaway to allow us to focus on growing our revenue base.”
