NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., April 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNTH) (Lantheus), an established leader and fully integrated provider committed to innovative imaging diagnostics, targeted therapeutics and artificial intelligence solutions to find, fight and follow serious medical conditions, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
The Company’s worldwide revenue for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $208.9 million, compared with $92.5 million for the first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 125.8% from the prior year period.
The Company’s first quarter 2022 GAAP net income was $43.0 million, or $0.61 per fully diluted share, as compared to GAAP net income of $9.0 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted share for the first quarter of 2021.
The Company’s first quarter 2022 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.97, as compared to $0.05 for the first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of approximately $0.92 from the prior year period.
Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $10.3 million for the first quarter 2022. Free Cash Flow was $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of approximately $0.2 million from the prior year period.
“We continued to deliver strong performance with record revenue and earnings in the first quarter of 2022, led primarily by rapidly increasing PYLARIFY sales,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO. “We are executing on our strategy to accelerate growth, diversify our portfolio, and position Lantheus as the category leader in markets in which we compete. We are excited by our recent strategic collaborations for PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY AI and continue to assess longer-term revenue opportunities through strategic transactions and internal development to drive shareholder value.”
The Company updates its guidance for full year 2022 and offers the following guidance for the second quarter:
| Q2 Guidance Issued April 29, 2022 |
| Previous Guidance Issued February 24, 2022 |
| Q2 FY 2022 Revenue |
| $200 million - $215 million |
| N/A |
| Q2 FY 2022 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS |
| $0.67 - $0.73 |
| N/A |
| FY Guidance Updated April 29, 2022 |
| FY Guidance Issued February 24, 2022 |
| FY 2022 Revenue |
| $800 million - $835 million |
| $685 million - $710 million |
| FY 2022 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS |
| $2.90 - $3.15 |
| $1.95 - $2.05 |
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.
