BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (the Company) (NASDAQ: LNTH), the leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company committed to enabling clinicians to Find, Fight and Follow disease to deliver better patient outcomes, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

The Company’s worldwide revenue for the third quarter of 2023 totaled $319.9 million, compared with $239.3 million for the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 33.7% over the prior year period.

The Company’s third quarter 2023 GAAP net income was $132.0 million, or $1.88 per fully diluted share, as compared to GAAP net income of $61.2 million, or $0.86 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2022.

The Company’s third quarter 2023 adjusted fully diluted net income per share, or earnings per share (“EPS”), was $1.47, as compared to $0.99 for the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of approximately $0.48 from the prior year period.

Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $116.7 million for the third quarter 2023. Free Cash Flow was $102.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, representing an increase of approximately $14.6 million from the prior year period.

“We made meaningful progress during the quarter with PYLARIFY® and DEFINITY® in our commercial portfolio, and with PNT2002 and MK-6240 in our pipeline,” said Mary Anne Heino, Chief Executive Officer of Lantheus. “We believe that our unique capabilities, commitment to innovation and excellence, and growing pipeline supports our position as the leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company.”

The Company updates its guidance for full year 2023 as follows:

    Guidance Issued November 2, 2023   Previous Guidance Issued August 3, 2023
FY 2023 Revenue   $1.255 billion - $1.27 billion   $1.245 billion - $1.27 billion
FY 2023 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS   $5.80 - $5.85   $5.60 - $5.70
         

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; 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.
