Lantheus Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Worldwide revenue of $85.8 million for the third quarter 2019, representing a decrease of 3.5% from the prior year period ($88.9 million, which includes $7.5 million of opportunistic TechneLite® sales to ANSTO)
Net income of $4.9 million for the third quarter 2019, representing a decrease of 47.6% from the prior year period
GAAP diluted EPS of $0.12 for the third quarter 2019, representing a decrease of 48.8% from the prior year period; adjusted diluted EPS of $0.28 for the third quarter 2019, representing a decrease of 4.5% from the prior year period
The Company updates 2019 full year revenue and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance
NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., October 31, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
The Company’s worldwide revenue for the third quarter of 2019 totaled $85.8 million, compared with $88.9 million for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 3.5% over the prior year period, which included $7.5 million received from the manufacture and sale of TechneLite® to an international partner on an opportunistic basis. Revenue results reflect nearly 20% year-over-year growth of DEFINITY® and higher than expected TechneLite sales.
The Company’s third quarter 2019 net income was $4.9 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share, as compared to $9.3 million, or $0.24 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 47.6% from the prior year period. The reduction from prior year, for both net income and fully diluted earnings per share results, is due mainly to the aforementioned opportunistic $7.5 million of sales of TechneLite not repeated this year.
The Company’s third quarter 2019 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.28, as compared to $0.29 for the third quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 4.5% from the prior year period.
Lastly, Free Cash Flow was $23.1 million, as compared to $19.3 million for the third quarter of 2018, representing an increase of approximately $3.8 million, or 19.9% from the prior year period.
“Once again, an impressive DEFINITY performance of nearly 20% year-over-year growth drove solid third quarter results. Additionally, TechneLite sales performed ahead of expectations realized by leveraging our expertise in radiopharmaceuticals,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO of Lantheus. “Earlier this month, we announced the signing of an agreement to acquire Progenics Pharmaceuticals. The combination will form a leading precision diagnostics and oncology therapeutics company, bringing a diversified and sustainable revenue model, accretion in year three, and enhanced free cash flows over longer term.”
Outlook
The Company offers the following guidance for the fourth quarter as well as updating its guidance for full year 2019.

Page 1 of 9



Previously stated guidance for full year 2019 was revenue growth of 0.8% to 1.9%, revenue of $346 million to $350 million, and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share of $1.09 to $1.12.
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.
Conference Call and Webcast
As previously announced, the Company will host a conference call on Thursday, October 31, 2019 at 8:00 a.m. ET. To access the live conference call via telephone, please dial 1-866-498-8390 (U.S. callers) or 1-678-509-7599 (international callers) and provide passcode 1865819. A live audio webcast of the call also will be available in the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.lantheus.com.
A replay of the audio webcast will be available in the Investors section of our website at www.lantheus.com approximately two hours after completion of the call and will be archived for 30 days.
The conference call will include a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures. Reference is made to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, the reconciliation of the differences between the two financial measures, and the other information included in this press release, our Form 8-K filed with the SEC today, or otherwise available in the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.lantheus.com.
The conference call may include forward-looking statements. See the cautionary information about forward-looking statements in the safe-harbor section of this press release.
About Lantheus Holdings, Inc. and Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc.
Lantheus Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of LMI, a global leader in the development, manufacture and commercialization of innovative diagnostic imaging agents and products. LMI provides a broad portfolio of products, including the echocardiography contrast agent DEFINITY® Vial for (Perflutren Lipid Microsphere) Injectable Suspension and TechneLite® (Technetium Tc99m Generator), a technetium-based generator that provides the essential medical isotope used in nuclear medicine procedures. The Company is headquartered in North Billerica, Massachusetts with offices in Puerto Rico and Canada. For more information, visit www.lantheus.com.
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.
