NORTH BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 25, 2019-- 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, 2019.

The Company’s worldwide revenue for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $85.7 million, compared with $85.6 million for the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 0.2% over the prior year period. Revenue results reflect a mix of strong DEFINITY® performance offset by lower TechneLite® revenue. Foreign exchange reduced worldwide revenues by $0.2 million or 0.2%.

The Company’s second quarter 2019 net income was $6.4 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share, as compared to $9.7 million, or $0.25 per fully diluted share for the second quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 35.6% from the prior year period. During the quarter, and contributing to this result, the Company completed an accretive refinancing of its credit facility and expensed $3.2 million, pre-tax, of debt extinguishment costs.

The Company’s second quarter 2019 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.27, as compared to $0.30 for the second quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 8.3% from the prior year period.

Lastly, Free Cash Flow was $17.6 million, as compared to $14.7 million for the second quarter of 2018, representing an increase of approximately $3.0 million, or 20.3%.

“Our second quarter revenue performance was supported by strong DEFINITY growth in the high teens, offset by multiple molybdenum-99 supplier challenges that impacted our ability to meet total TechneLite demand,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO of Lantheus. “Despite these challenges, we delivered both solid earnings per share and Free Cash Flow while continuing to make targeted strategic investments in our business to drive long-term, sustainable growth. While we anticipate additional molybdenum-99 supply challenges in the third quarter, based on the progress our suppliers have made, we now project supply will be stable beginning in the fourth quarter.”

Outlook

The Company offers the following guidance for the third quarter as well as updating its guidance for full year 2019.

 

 

Q3 Guidance Issued July 25, 2019

Q3 FY 2019 Revenue Growth

 

(4.4)% - (6.6)%

Q3 FY 2019 Revenue

 

$83 million - $85 million

Q3 FY 2019 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS

 

$0.18 - $0.20

 

 

FY Guidance Updated July 25, 2019

FY 2019 Revenue Growth

 

0.8% - 1.9%

FY 2019 Revenue

 

$346 million - $350 million

FY 2019 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS

 

$1.09 - $1.12

Previously stated guidance for full year 2019 was revenue growth of 4.25% to 5.75%, revenue of $358 million to $363 million, and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share of $1.14 to $1.17. Our guidance for Q3 and full year now incorporate the dampening effects of our temporary Moly supply issues that occurred in Q2, continuing into Q3.

On a forward-looking basis, the Company does not provide GAAP income per common share or a reconciliation of adjusted diluted EPS to GAAP income per common share because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty business development and acquisition-related expenses, purchase accounting fair value adjustments, and any one-time, non-recurring charges. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. As a result, it is the Company’s view that a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted diluted EPS on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable effort.

Internet Posting of Information
The Company routinely posts information that may be important to investors in the “Investors” section of its website at www.lantheus.com. The Company encourages investors and potential investors to consult its website regularly for important information about the Company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such adjusted net income and its line components; adjusted net income per share - diluted; and free cash flow. The Company’s management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors. These measures may assist investors in evaluating the Company’s operations, period over period. The measures may exclude such items which may be highly variable, difficult to predict and of a size that could have substantial impact on the Company’s reported results of operations for a period. Management uses these and other non-GAAP measures internally for evaluation of the performance of the business, including the allocation of resources and the evaluation of results relative to employee performance compensation targets. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

This press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP guidance for 2019 adjusted diluted EPS. No reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP guidance was included in this press release because, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded information and the fact that some of the excluded information is not readily ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws, including statements about our 2019 outlook. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of terms such as anticipate, believe, confident, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, plan, predict, project, target, will and other similar terms. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking statements are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including those described in the Risk Factors section in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q).
