NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNTH) (Lantheus), 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

The Company’s worldwide revenue for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $223.7 million, compared with $101.1 million for the second quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 121.4% from the prior year period.

The Company’s second quarter 2022 GAAP net income was $43.1 million, or $0.61 per fully diluted share, as compared to GAAP net loss of $26.7 million, or $0.39 per fully diluted share for the second quarter of 2021.

The Company’s second quarter 2022 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.89, as compared to $0.11 for the second quarter of 2021, representing an increase of approximately $0.78 from the prior year period.

Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $72.6 million for the second quarter 2022. Free Cash Flow was $68.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of approximately $45.0 million from the prior year period.

“Our record-setting financial results for the first half of 2022 reflect the strength of our strategy and our ability to drive long-term growth,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO. “PYLARIFY, which is firmly established as the PSMA PET imaging agent of choice, continues to propel our growth and have a positive impact on the U.S. prostate cancer community. We continue to be driven by our purpose to Find, Fight and Follow disease to improve patient outcomes and provide sustainable value for shareholders.”

The Company updates its guidance for full year 2022 and offers the following guidance for the third quarter:

		Q3 Guidance Issued August 4, 2022		Previous Guidance Issued April 29, 2022
Q3 FY 2022 Revenue		$220 million - $230 million		N/A
Q3 FY 2022 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS		$0.80 - $0.85		N/A
		FY Guidance Updated August 4, 2022		FY Guidance Issued April 29, 2022
FY 2022 Revenue		$885 million - $905 million		$800 million - $835 million
FY 2022 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS		$3.50 - $3.60		$2.90 - $3.15

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 (including liability accruals relating to the contingent value rights issued as part of the Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. acquisition), 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.

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.
