NORTH BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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, 2018.
Management Comments
“Our first quarter provided an excellent
start to the year, driven by robust sales for DEFINITY,” said Mary Anne
Heino, President and CEO. “The first quarter also was marked by
effective execution across a number of programs as we look to enhance
the growth trajectory and profitability of our core microbubble
franchise, augment our pipeline with focus on emerging technologies, and
pursue complementary, external opportunities across the broader Life
Sciences sector that fit with our objective to deliver long-term
sustainable growth and profitability.”
“The application of microbubbles is emerging as a valuable platform for increased uses, including drug delivery and therapy. With the expertise we have built in microbubble technology, our goal is to lead in these growing markets. At the same time, clinical work regarding flurpiridaz F 18, a novel PET cardiac imaging agent for the evaluation of coronary artery disease, and LMI 1195, our fluorine-18-based PET agent which is expected to aid the diagnosis of heart failure patients at risk for sudden cardiac death, is proceeding on schedule. Internationally, our DEFINITY China program continues to move forward, with patient enrollment completed for the cardiac and pharmacokinetic studies, while enrollment in the kidney and liver studies is ongoing. We look to continue to execute successfully on our strategy and will report on our progress as we proceed through 2018,” continued Ms. Heino.

the first quarter of 2018 totaled $82.6 million, representing an

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

and free cash flow. The Company’s management believes that the

These measures may assist investors in evaluating the Company’s
operations, period over period. The measures may exclude such items
which may be highly variable, difficult to predict and of a size that
could have substantial impact on the Company’s reported results of
operations for a 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.
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 2018
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 are 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). This press release includes
forward-looking non-GAAP guidance for 2018 Adjusted EBITDA. No
reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP guidance was included in
this press release because, due to the high variability and difficulty
in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded
information 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.

(a) The income tax effect of the adjustments between GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income takes into account the tax treatment and related tax rate that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction.
(b) During the fourth quarter of 2017, we released the valuation allowance previously recorded against our domestic net deferred tax assets. As a result, we included the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments starting in the fourth quarter of 2017. Presentation of 2017 Adjusted Net Income has been modified to allow better go-forward comparability by including the tax effect of non-GAAP reconciling items.
