Lantheus Holdings, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 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 fourth quarter and full year 2019 ended December 31, 2019.

The Company’s worldwide revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 totaled $89.3 million, compared with $86.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 3.6% over the prior year period. Full year 2019 worldwide revenues were $347.3 million, compared with $343.4 million for the full year 2018, representing an increase of 1.2% over the prior year period.

The Company’s fourth quarter 2019 net income was $10.5 million, or $0.26 per fully diluted share, as compared to $13.3 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 21.4% from the prior year period. Full year 2019 net income was $31.7 million, or $0.79 per fully diluted share, as compared to $40.5 million, or $1.03 per fully diluted share for the full year 2018, representing a decrease of 21.8% from the prior year period.

The Company’s fourth quarter 2019 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.34, as compared to $0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 19.0% over the prior year period. The Company’s full year 2019 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $1.17, as compared to $1.13 for the full year 2018, representing an increase of 3.5% over the prior year period.

Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $22.4 million and $80.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2019. Free Cash Flow was $17.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, representing an increase of approximately $7.7 million, or 77.9% over the prior year period. Full year 2019 free cash flow was $58.3 million, as compared to $41.1 million for the full year 2018, representing an increase of approximately $17.3 million, or 42.0% over the prior year period.

“We finished 2019 with robust DEFINITY, earnings and free cash flow performance,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO. “Throughout 2019, it was Lantheus team members from across the organization who drove these results. As we look to 2020 and beyond, we see exciting revenue and value creation opportunities for the Company as we add the Progenics’ team with their exciting oncology, precision diagnostic, and other products to our own portfolio.”

Outlook

The Company guidance for the first quarter and full year 2020 is as follows:

 

 

Guidance Issued February 25, 2020

Q1 FY 2020 Revenue Growth

 

2.9% - 5.2%

Q1 FY 2020 Revenue

 

$89 million - $91 million

Q1 FY 2020 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS

 

$0.25 - $0.27

 

 

Guidance Issued February 25, 2020

FY 2020 Revenue Growth

 

10.6% - 12.3%

FY 2020 Revenue

 

$384 million - $390 million

FY 2020 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS

 

$1.34 - $1.40

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.

Conference Call and Webcast

As previously announced, the Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. ET. To access the live conference call via telephone, please dial 1-866-498-8390 (U.S. callers) or 1-678-509-7599 (international callers) and provide passcode 7953035. A live audio webcast of the call also will be available in the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.lantheus.com.

A replay of the audio webcast will be available in the Investors section of our website at www.lantheus.com approximately two hours after completion of the call and will be archived for 30 days.

The conference call will include a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures. Reference is made to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, the reconciliation of the differences between the two financial measures, and the other information included in this press release, our Form 8-K filed with the SEC today, or otherwise available in the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.lantheus.com.

The conference call may include forward-looking statements. See the cautionary information about forward-looking statements in the safe-harbor section of this press release.

About Lantheus Holdings, Inc. and Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc.

Lantheus Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of LMI, a global leader in the development, manufacture and commercialization of innovative diagnostic imaging agents and products.

The Company is headquartered in North Billerica, Massachusetts with offices in Puerto Rico and Canada. For more information, visit www.lantheus.com.

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.

This press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP guidance for 2020 adjusted fully diluted EPS. No reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP guidance is included in this press release because, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information that would be required to prepare such a reconciliation and the fact that some of the excluded information is not readily ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws, including statements about our 2020 outlook. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of terms such as anticipate, believe, confident, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, plan, predict, project, target, will and other similar terms. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking statements include our future operating results, our ability to complete our acquisition of Progenics Pharmaceuticals and realize the expected benefits on the anticipated timeline or at all, the outcome of our clinical programs, as well as the risk and uncertainties discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including those described in the Risk Factors section in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q).
