BEDFORD, Mass., May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (the Company) (NASDAQ: LNTH), a company committed to improving patient outcomes through diagnostics, radiotherapeutics and artificial intelligence solutions that enable clinicians to Find, Fight and Follow disease, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

The Company’s worldwide revenue for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $300.8 million, compared with $208.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 44.0% over the prior year period.

The Company’s first quarter 2023 GAAP net loss was $2.8 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, as compared to GAAP net income of $43.0 million, or $0.61 per fully diluted share for the first quarter of 2022.

The Company’s first quarter 2023 adjusted fully diluted net income per share, or earnings per share (“EPS”), was $1.47, as compared to $0.97 for the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of approximately $0.50 from the prior year period.

Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $108.5 million for the first quarter 2023. Free Cash Flow was $99.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, representing an increase of approximately $92.3 million from the prior year period.

“As an innovation driven leader committed to bringing novel radiopharmaceuticals to the healthcare community, we are proud of the positive impact we have made in the lives of more than 1.5 million patients during the first quarter of 2023,” said Mary Anne Heino, Chief Executive Officer of Lantheus. “We delivered record quarterly revenues driven by the success of PSMA PET with PYLARIFY, as well as the increasing utilization of DEFINITY. We continue to meet important milestones not only with our commercial products but also with our late-stage pipeline. We are excited to continue in our purpose to make a positive impact on the lives of patients in need, while continuing to deliver value for all stakeholders.”

The Company updates its guidance for full year 2023 and offers the following guidance for the second quarter:

    Guidance Issued May 4, 2023   Previous Guidance Issued February 23, 2023
Q2 FY 2023 Revenue   $300 million - $310 million   N/A
Q2 FY 2023 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS   $1.25 - $1.33   N/A
    Guidance Issued May 4, 2023   FY Guidance Issued February 23, 2022
FY 2023 Revenue   $1.23 billion - $1.27 billion   $1.14 billion - $1.16 billion
FY 2023 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS   $5.45 - $5.70   $4.95 - $5.10
         

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.

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.
