NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., Feb. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNTH) (Lantheus), an established leader and fully integrated provider committed to innovative imaging diagnostics, targeted therapeutics and artificial intelligence solutions to Find, Fight and Follow serious medical conditions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.
The Company’s worldwide revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $129.6 million, compared with $94.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 37.6% over the prior year period. Full year 2021 worldwide revenues were $425.2 million, compared with $339.4 million for the full year 2020, representing an increase of 25.3% over the prior year period.
The Company’s fourth quarter 2021 net loss was $40.2 million, or $0.59 per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2020. Full year 2021 net loss was $71.3 million, or $1.06 per fully diluted share, as compared to net loss of $13.5 million, or $0.25 per fully diluted share for the full year 2020.
The Company’s fourth quarter 2021 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.25, as compared to $0.07 for the fourth quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 263.5% over the prior year period. The Company’s full year 2021 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.49, as compared to $0.47 for the full year 2020, representing an increase of 4.0% over the prior year period.
Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $13.9 million and $53.9 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021. Free Cash Flow was $9.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to $(3.2) million for the fourth quarter of 2020, representing an increase of approximately $12.5 million from the prior year period. Full year 2021 free cash flow was $41.8 million, as compared to $3.9 million for the full year 2020, representing an increase of approximately $37.9 million from the prior year period.
“Lantheus delivered another strong quarter and full year, highlighted by revenue performance which increased 38% and 25%, respectively,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO. “We successfully launched PYLARIFY, which we believe is the best-in-class PSMA PET imaging agent for prostate cancer, maintained our revenue growth and market leadership for DEFINITY, and delivered top quartile returns for our shareholders, even amidst a backdrop of macro external challenges. This year is off to a similarly productive start as we received FDA approval for our on-site manufacturing facility for DEFINITY. In 2022, we will continue to advance our purpose to Find, Fight and Follow serious medical conditions to improve patient outcomes, and continue to drive revenue growth and shareholder value.”
Outlook
The Company updates its guidance for the first quarter and full year 2022 is as follows:
| Guidance Issued February 24, 2022 | ||
| Q1 FY 2022 Revenue | $160 million - $170 million | |
| Q1 FY 2022 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS | $0.45 - $0.50 | |
| Guidance Issued February 24, 2022 | ||
| FY 2022 Revenue | $685 million - $710 million | |
| FY 2022 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS | $1.95 - $2.05 |
On a forward-looking basis, the Company does not provide GAAP income per common share guidance or a reconciliation of adjusted fully 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 (including liability accruals relating to the contingent value rights issued as part of the Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. acquisition), 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 fully diluted EPS on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income and its line components; adjusted net income per share - fully 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. However, these measures may exclude items that may be highly variable, difficult to predict and of a size that could have a substantial impact on the Company’s reported results of operations for a particular 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.
