OCULAR THERAPEUTIX, INC New Standards Disclosure
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. For public business entities, the amendments provide for the election of a practical expedient to be used in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating future expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. The amendments change (i) the criteria regarding the timing of the capitalization of costs for internal-use software and (ii) the accounting for website development costs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07 Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (“ASU 2025-07”). The amendments provide for a new scope exception to the derivatives guidance for underlyings based on the operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract, and also clarifies that share-based noncash consideration received from a customer as consideration for the transfer of goods or services in a revenue contract is subject to the revenue guidance and not the financial instruments guidance unless and until the company’s right to receive or retain the share-based noncash consideration is unconditional as defined in ASU 2025-07. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company believes that other recently issued accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

About New Standards Disclosures
New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.
Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
