Lantheus posts second quarter net income of $7.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $21.4 million;

Second quarter worldwide DEFINITY® revenue increased 18% annually

NORTH BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2016-- Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LNTH), parent company of Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. (“LMI”), a global leader in the development, manufacture and commercialization of innovative diagnostic imaging agents and products, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

The Company’s worldwide revenue for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $78.0 million, representing an increase of 6% as-reported compared to $73.3 million reported for the second quarter of 2015. Second quarter worldwide revenue results reflect continued strong sales of DEFINITY® and stable revenues from the nuclear products portfolio driven by contracts with key radiopharmacy customers.

Net income for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $7.4 million or $0.24 per diluted share, an improvement of $31.8 million compared to a net loss of $24.4 million or $(1.29) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015. The second quarter net income results also reflect a decrease in the amount of interest expense due to debt refinancing in June of 2015.

The Company’s second quarter 2016 Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, was $21.4 million, or 27.5% of reported revenue, compared to $18.0 million, or 24.5% of reported revenue, in the second quarter of 2015. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA reflects the impact of DEFINITY revenue growth.

Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO commented, “We are very pleased with our second quarter results, which delivered 6% year over year growth and exceeded both our second quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance. During the second quarter, we saw continued strong performance of DEFINITY with 18% year over year growth in a competitive ultrasound contrast market and higher than forecasted sales of our nuclear products, demonstrating that our commercial strategy is working.”

Ms. Heino continued, “We are also very pleased to be raising our annual revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance which reflects the overall strength of our product portfolio and the firm contracts we have with key nuclear products customers.”

Outlook

The Company is increasing its outlook for worldwide revenue for full year 2016 to a range of $291 million to $295 million. For the third quarter of 2016, the Company expects worldwide revenue in the range of $68 million to $70 million.

The Company is also increasing its outlook for full year 2016 Adjusted EBITDA, as described in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, to a range of $70 million to $73 million. For the third quarter of 2016, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $14 million to $16 million.
