Lantheus Holdings, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNTH) (Lantheus), an established leader and fully integrated provider of innovative imaging diagnostics, targeted therapeutics and artificial intelligence solutions to find, fight and follow serious medical conditions, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

The Company’s worldwide revenue for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $101.1 million, compared with $66.0 million for the second quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 53.1% from the prior year period.

The Company’s second quarter 2021 GAAP net loss was $26.7 million, or $0.39 per fully diluted share, as compared to GAAP net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share for the second quarter of 2020.

The Company’s second quarter 2021 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.11, as compared to $0.10 for the second quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 8.1% from the prior year period.

Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $25.9 million for the second quarter 2021. Free Cash Flow was $23.2 million in the second quarter of 2021, representing an increase of approximately $27.6 million from the prior year period.

“Our second quarter was highlighted by the FDA approval of PYLARIFY, the first and only commercially available PSMA PET imaging agent for prostate cancer, and the strong performance of DEFINITY which exceeded pre COVID-19 levels,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With the investments Lantheus has made and continues to make in the business, we’ve laid the foundation to take full advantage of our diversified portfolio of products. We remain committed to delivering on our financial commitments while positively impacting the lives of the patients we serve and delivering shareholder value.”

Outlook

The Company updates its guidance for full year 2021 and offers the following guidance for the third quarter.

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.

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 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.
