Lantheus Medical Imaging Reports 2014 Fourth Quarter

and Full Year Financial Results

Fourth quarter worldwide revenue increases 7% as-reported and 9% constant currency; strong DEFINITY® performance driven by continued market adoption and share gains

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA increases 28% to $19.4 million; Company posts full year Adjusted EBITDA of $70.8 million

No. BILLERICA, Mass. (March 4, 2015) – Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. (“Lantheus” or “the Company”), a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of parent company Lantheus MI Intermediate, Inc. and a global leader in developing, manufacturing, selling and distributing innovative diagnostic imaging agents, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014.

Worldwide revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $77.0 million, representing a 7% increase as-reported and a 9% increase on a constant-currency basis over $71.7 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2013.

The Company reported quarterly GAAP-earnings profitability during the fourth quarter of 2014 with net income totaling $300,000, an improvement of $12.6 million over a net loss of $12.3 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 included $1.2 million of non-cash costs associated with the Company’s previously-announced campus consolidation initiative. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2013 included a $15.4 million non-cash charge for the write-down of certain intangibles, an $8.9 million credit for a special recovery from a manufacturer and a $0.4 million gain on a land sale.

The Company’s fourth quarter 2014 net income, as adjusted for the above items, totaled $1.5 million, an improvement of $7.6 million, compared to a net loss of $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The attached financial tables include a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to as-adjusted results.


The Company’s fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, was $19.4 million, increasing by 28% from $15.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year.

Jeff Bailey, President and CEO commented, “We are very pleased with our fourth quarter results and our strong finish to what has been an excellent year for Lantheus. Consistent with the themes we’ve experienced throughout 2014, our fourth quarter performance reflects continued, solid revenue growth and operating margin expansion, as well as sequential and year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. Our strong quarterly sales performance for DEFINITY was driven by our continued success in expanding the appropriate use of contrast in cardiac echo procedures, while also growing our respective market share. With solid U.S. performances from all major product lines, our U.S. revenue growth accelerated to 12% during the fourth quarter, driving our adjusted operating and EBITDA margins to 17% and 25%, respectively.”

Mr. Bailey continued, “The improvement in our business fundamentals and operational efficiencies over the last two years is significant and provides a solid foundation as we enter 2015. Looking ahead, we are focused on a number of strategic and tactical objectives intended to further strengthen our business, our operating profile, and our ability to meet and exceed the needs of our customers. We look forward to pursuing these initiatives while creating additional opportunities to further improve our business and financial results.”

For the full year of 2014, worldwide revenue totaled $301.6 million, representing a 6% increase on an as-reported and an 8% increase on a constant-currency basis over $283.7 million reported for 2013. On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $1.2 million for 2014, an improvement of $60.5 million over the net loss of $61.7 million for 2013. Full year GAAP results included the aforementioned fourth-quarter items and a $6.8 million write-down of land during the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted for those items, the Company achieved positive full year 2014 net income totaling $41,000, compared to a net loss of $48.7 million for 2013. The Company’s full year 2014 Adjusted EBITDA totaled $70.8 million, an improvement of $32.4 million over the $38.4 million reported for 2013. The attached financial tables include a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to as-adjusted results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency, net income, as adjusted, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. 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.
