Lantheus Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (the "Company”) (NASDAQ: LNTH), parent company of Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. ("LMI”), a global leader in the development, manufacture and commercialization of innovative diagnostic imaging agents and products, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

The Company’s worldwide revenue for the first quarter of 2020 totaled $90.7 million, compared with $86.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, representing an increase of 4.8% over the prior year period.

The Company’s first quarter 2020 net income was $3.3 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share, as compared to $9.9 million, or $0.25 per fully diluted share for the first quarter of 2019, representing a decrease of 66.7% from the prior year period.

The Company’s first quarter 2020 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.36, as compared to $0.28 for the first quarter of 2019, representing an increase of 26.1% over the prior year period.

Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.4 million for the first quarter 2020. Free Cash Flow was $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2020, representing an increase of approximately $6.8 million.

"First and foremost, Lantheus is proud to serve the life sciences sector and we want to thank healthcare workers everywhere for their extraordinary commitment in these unprecedented times,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO of Lantheus. "Although our first quarter started with robust customer demand, by mid-March our business began to experience the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of stay-at-home mandates and related safety measures such as the delay of elective medical procedures. Despite this, we were still able to achieve revenues near the top end of our guidance and exceeded that for adjusted earnings per share. Although we cannot predict the magnitude or duration of the pandemic’s impact, with our available liquidity and prudent expense management, including previously announced work week and salary reductions, we maintain a state of preparedness to resume full business activities to support our customers as business conditions allow.”

Outlook

On April 9, 2020, the Company withdrew full year 2020 revenue, revenue growth, and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share guidance as a result of the continued uncertainties surrounding the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to these uncertainties, and uncertain timing of global recovery and economic normalization, Lantheus is unable to provide guidance as to the overall impacts on its operations and financial results.

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.
