First Quarter 2024

  • Worldwide revenue increased 23.0% to $370.0 million compared to the same period in 2023. Growth was primarily driven by net product sales of PYLARIFY and DEFINITY. 
  • Net product sales of PYLARIFY were $258.9 million, an increase of 32.4% over $195.5 million in the prior year period. Growth was driven by increasing utilization of PSMA PET with PYLARIFY at existing customers and expansion of the PSMA PET imaging market.
  • Net product sales of DEFINITY were $76.6 million, an increase of 11.2% over $68.8 million in the prior year period.
  • Operating income increased to $106.6 million, compared to a loss of $(9.3) million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income (non-GAAP) increased 9.4% to $155.3 million, compared to $142.0 million in the prior year period. 
  • Fully diluted net income per share increased to $1.87, compared to fully diluted net loss per share of $(0.04) in the prior year period. Adjusted fully diluted net income per share (non-GAAP) increased 15.2% to $1.69, compared to $1.47 in the prior year period.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were $127.2 million and $119.0 million, respectively. 

Balance Sheet

  • At March 31, 2024, the Company's cash and cash equivalents grew to $718.3 million, compared to $713.7 million at December 31, 2023, taking into account the $98.3 million net investment related to the Perspective partnership in the first quarter 2024.
  • The Company currently has access to up to $350.0 million from a revolving line of credit.

Recent Business Highlights

Radiopharmaceutical Oncology Pipeline Progress  

  • In December 2023, the Company announced that the Phase 3 SPLASH trial of PNT2002 met its primary endpoint with statistically significant topline results, which demonstrated a 29% reduction in the probability of radiographic progression or death in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after progression on an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor. Overall survival (OS) data was immature with only 46% of trial protocol-specified OS target events having occurred. The Company expects the next readout in the third quarter of 2024 when 75% of trial protocol-specified OS target events are predicted to have occurred.  
  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted Lantheus’ Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate (177Lu-PNT2003), a radio-equivalent to lutetium Lu 177 dotatate. Based on the most recent update to the FDA’s online paragraph IV database listings, the Company believes it is the first applicant to have filed a substantially complete ANDA for Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate containing a Paragraph IV certification. If approved and pending resolution of an ongoing Hatch Waxman litigation, the Company expects to launch 177Lu-PNT2003 in 2026.
  • In January 2024, the Company announced it entered into multiple strategic agreements with Perspective Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: CATX), a radiopharmaceutical company that is pioneering advanced treatment applications for cancers throughout the body. This agreement provides Lantheus the option to further diversify its radioligand therapy pipeline with an exclusive license to VMT-alpha-NET, a product candidate for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. Perspective has disclosed that it expects preliminary results from Cohorts 1 and 2 of this ongoing dose escalation Phase 1/2a trial in the third quarter 2024. Lantheus also may elect to co-develop certain Pb212-based alpha therapies for prostate cancer.

Other Key Updates 

  • The Company appointed Brian Markison, former Chairman of the Board of Lantheus and industry veteran, to the position of Chief Executive Officer, effective as of March 1, 2024. Mr. Markison will also continue as a member of Lantheus’ Board of Directors, where he has served for the past 12 years. Concurrently, MaryAnne Heino, former CEO, was appointed Chair of the Board of Lantheus.
  • The FDA approved the supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for DEFINITY® (Perflutren Lipid Microsphere) as an ultrasound enhancing agent for use in pediatric patients with suboptimal echocardiograms.

Second Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance

  Guidance Issued May 2, 2024Guidance Issued February 22, 2024
Q2 FY 2024 Revenue $380 million - $390 millionN/A
Q2 FY 2024 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS $1.81 - $1.86N/A
  Guidance Issued May 2, 2024Guidance Issued February 22, 2024
FY 2024 Revenue $1.50 billion - $1.52 billion$1.41 billion - $1.445 billion
FY 2024 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS $7.00 - $7.20$6.50 - $6.70
    

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, 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; adjusted operating income 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.
