Exhibit 99.1

LENSAR Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

First Quarter Revenue Increases 33% Over 2021 Levels

First Quarter Procedure Volume Increases 38% Over 2021 Levels

ORLANDO, Fla. (May 9, 2022) – LENSAR, Inc. (Nasdaq: LNSR) (“LENSAR” or “the Company”), a global medical technology company focused on advanced femtosecond laser surgical solutions for the treatment of cataracts, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and provided an update on operational initiatives.

“We have started 2022 on an impressive note by achieving more than 30% growth in both revenue and worldwide procedure volumes as compared to the first quarter of last year” said Nick Curtis, Chief Executive Officer of LENSAR. “In addition, we took the first step forward in bringing our next generation innovative and disruptive technology to the marketplace with the FDA’s acceptance of our 510(k) application for the ALLY Adaptive Cataract Treatment System. Surgeons continue to respond with enthusiasm in anticipation of ALLY, as evidenced by the significant number of demonstrations we completed at the recent ASCRS Annual Meeting, more than half of which were with non-LENSAR surgeons. I’m pleased to report that an overwhelming percentage of surgeons, after seeing a demonstration, expressed interest in utilizing ALLY in their practices. The FDA’s substantive review of our application is ongoing and we anticipate launching ALLY, if cleared, this year.”

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $9.3 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 33%, compared to total revenue of $7.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increased procedure volume as compared to the first quarter of 2021. All individual components of revenue - product, lease, and service - increased from the first quarter of 2021 with product revenue contributing the largest increase.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, approximately 89% of revenue was attributable to recurring sources compared to 91% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The following table provides information about procedure volume:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022	2021
Procedures	38,901	28,122

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $6.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 4%, compared to $6.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Research and development expenses were $4.8 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $2.1 million or 74%. This increase was

primarily due to additional costs for the continued development of ALLY and materials purchased for the manufacture of ALLY, which amounted to approximately $2 million.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was $6.7 million, or ($0.67) per share, compared to net loss of $5.2 million, or ($0.56) per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Included within operating expenses are stock-based compensation expenses recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 of $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was ($5.8) million, compared with ($4.6) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA, which we calculate by adding back stock-based compensation expense to EBITDA, was ($4.2) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and ($2.2) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures, and a reconciliation of these measures to net loss is set forth below in this press release.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $29.0 million as compared to $31.6 million at December 31, 2021. Cash utilized in the quarter was $2.6 million and compares to $4.7 million used in the first quarter of 2021. Based on its cash position and operational forecasts, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to fund operations through the expected launch of ALLY and into 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares and analyzes operating and financial data and non-GAAP measures to assess the performance of its business, make strategic and offering decisions and build its financial projections. The key non-GAAP measures it uses are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is specifically disclosed because the Company believes that EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of its business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of actual results on a comparable basis with historical results. Adjusted EBITDA is also a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, provides meaningful supplemental information for investors when evaluating its results and comparing it to peer companies as stock-based compensation expense is a significant non-cash charge due to the recapitalization of the Company. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in its underlying business from quarter to quarter. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance and, therefore, any non-GAAP measures it use may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to their most comparable GAAP financial measure are set forth below.
