Second Quarter 2024

Worldwide revenue increased 22.5% to $394.1 million compared to the same period in 2023. Growth was primarily driven by PYLARIFY and DEFINITY.
Sales of PYLARIFY were $273.3 million, an increase of 29.8% over $210.5 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.
Sales of DEFINITY were $78.1 million, an increase of 10.7% over $70.5 million in the prior year period.
Operating income decreased to $102.7 million, compared to $124.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income (non-GAAP) increased 14.0% to $171.1 million, compared to $150.1 million in the prior year period.
Fully diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.88, compared to $1.33 in the prior year period. Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP) increased 16.4% to $1.80, compared to $1.54 in the prior year period.
Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were $84.7 million and $73.5 million, respectively.

Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2024, the Company's cash and cash equivalents grew to $757.0 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 and the $32.9 million net payment related to the acquisition of NAV-4694 in the second quarter 2024.
The Company currently has access to up to $350.0 million from a revolving line of credit.

Recent Business Highlights

Radiopharmaceutical Pipeline Progress 

In July 2024, the Company announced its acquisition of NAV-4694, expanding its position in the Alzheimer's disease market. NAV-4694 is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials and is also being used in academic and industry trials evaluating investigational therapeutics. NAV-4694 complements Lantheus' F18-labeled PET imaging agent candidate, MK-6240, which targets Tau tangles in Alzheimer's disease; adding amyloid imaging as a potential product in addition to a tau-based imaging agent could further inform diagnosis and staging of Alzheimer's disease.
In June 2024, the Company acquired global rights to RM2, which targets the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), including the associated novel, clinical-stage radiodiagnostic and radiotherapeutic pair, referred to as 68Ga-RM2 (now LNTH-2401), and 177Lu-RM2 (now LNTH-2402). This acquisition strengthens Lantheus' presence in prostate cancer and expands its pipeline to include breast and other cancers. With this radiotheranostic pair, Lantheus can now potentially reach more prostate cancer patients including those for whom PSMA-targeted therapy may not be appropriate. Lantheus plans to work with Life Molecular to initiate a Phase 1/2a study with LNTH-2402 in prostate cancer in 2025 with LNTH-2401 to be used as a companion diagnostic.
In June 2024, the Company agreed to invest in Radiopharm Theranostics (RAD). Additionally, the Company acquired the rights to two of RAD's licensed pre-clinical assets, an LRRC15 targeting mAb (now LNTH-2403) and a TROP2 targeting nanobody (now LNTH-2404), bolstering the Company's early oncology portfolio. LNTH-2403 is a potential first-in-class highly specific monoclonal antibody radiotherapeutic with both Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of osteosarcoma. The product candidate is designed to target the surrounding tumor micro-environment cells expressing the protein LRRC15 and has the potential to treat a broad range of cancers. LNTH-2404, the TROP2-targeted nanobody radiotherapeutic, is advancing in preclinical development for TROP-2-expressing cancers.

Other Key Updates

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released its Proposed Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) rule for calendar year 2025 for improved payment for specialized diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals to support patient access for Medicare beneficiaries. In the proposed rule, innovative diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, including PYLARIFY, would continue to be paid separately by CMS for traditional Medicare Fee for Service patients in the hospital outpatient setting following the expiry of traditional pass-through payment status. The final rule will be issued in early November and take effect January 1, 2025.
The Company recently appointed Jeffrey Humphrey, M.D., to the position of Chief Medical Officer, along with Jamie Spaeth to the position of Chief People Officer and Kimberly Brown to the position of Chief Accounting Officer.

Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance

	Guidance Issued July 31, 2024	Guidance Issued May 2, 2024
FY 2024 Revenue	$1.50 billion - $1.52 billion	$1.50 billion - $1.52 billion
FY 2024 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS	$6.60 - $6.70	$7.00 - $7.20

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.
