Lantheus Holdings, Inc. Reports 2018 Second Quarter Results
DEFINITY® worldwide revenues increase 14.9% year over year
NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., August 1, 2018 - 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, 2018.
Management Comments
We posted solid results in the second quarter, with revenue that was in line with expectations and Adjusted EBITDA that exceeded our guidance,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO. “This year continues to be a period of strategic investment in our business as we follow our three-pronged strategy of growing our microbubble franchise, investing in our product pipeline, and pursuing external opportunities that fit our growth and profitability objectives.”
Ms. Heino continued, “Our flagship product DEFINITY is the cornerstone of our microbubble franchise and remains the leading echo contrast agent worldwide. It is also a strong growth business for us, with worldwide sales that grew 14.9% year on year. Amid increased interest in the use of microbubbles in therapeutic and additional diagnostic applications, our research and development efforts are focused on identifying new applications and enhancing current applications to deliver future growth opportunities.”
“Highlights from our busy second quarter include being granted a composition of matter patent for an alternative formulation for DEFINITY that will run through 2035. Also, we are on track to initiate our Phase 3 clinical program for a Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction, or LVEF, indication for DEFINITY by the end of this year. At the same time, our DEFINITY China program completed patient enrollment for its cardiac, kidney, liver and pharmacokinetic studies, and we expect the application to be submitted to the China FDA by the end of this year,” added Ms. Heino.
Supplier Update
As previously disclosed, one of the Company’s nuclear product suppliers, NTP, has been offline since early June, resulting in a temporary disruption in the supply of molybdenum-99, the medical isotope used in the Company’s TechneLite® generators. NTP is working with its regulatory authority to resume operations and in the meantime the Company is focused on mitigating the supply disruption through sourcing additional molybdenum-99 from its other suppliers.
Financial Highlights
The Company’s worldwide revenues for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $85.6 million, compared with $88.8 million for the second quarter of 2017, which included a $5.0 million up-front payment received from GE Healthcare. DEFINITY had worldwide revenues of $46.1 million for the second quarter, an increase of 14.9% from the year-ago period.
Net income for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $9.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with $13.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017. The Company’s second quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA (as outlined in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided below) was $23.7 million, or 27.6% of revenues, compared with $27.9 million, or 31.5% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2017.
Outlook
For the third quarter of 2018, the Company expects worldwide revenues in the range of $82 million to $86 million. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA, as described in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, of $18 million to $21 million, representing 20.9% to 25.6% of anticipated worldwide revenues.
The Company maintains its guidance for full year 2018 worldwide revenues of approximately $337 million to $342 million, compared with $326.4 million in 2017 (which excludes the aforementioned $5.0 million payment from GE Healthcare). The Company also maintains its guidance for full year 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of $85 million to $90 million, representing 24.9% to 26.7% of anticipated worldwide revenues.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency; adjusted operating income; adjusted net income and its line components; Adjusted EBITDA; 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.
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 2018 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). This press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP guidance for 2018 Adjusted EBITDA. 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.

(a)
The income tax effect of the adjustments between GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income takes into account the tax treatment and related tax rate that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction.
(b)
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we released the valuation allowance previously recorded against our domestic net deferred tax assets. As a result, we included the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments starting in the fourth quarter of 2017. Presentation of 2017 Adjusted Net Income has been modified to allow better go-forward comparability by including the tax effect of non-GAAP reconciling items.
