Lantheus Holdings, Inc. Reports 2016 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results; Provides 2017 Guidance

Company exceeds full year 2016 guidance, posts revenue of $301.9 million, net income of $26.8 million and

Adjusted EBITDA of $78.3 million

NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., February 21, 2017 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 ended December 31, 2016.

The Company’s worldwide revenues for the fourth quarter of 2016 totaled $74.4 million, compared to $71.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. For the full year 2016, worldwide revenues totaled $301.9 million, compared to $293.5 in 2015, exceeding 2016 guidance of $296 million to $299 million. Revenue results were driven by growth in sales of DEFINITY® and TechneLite®, partially offset by price concessions for Xenon as part of the Company’s nuclear products contracting strategy as well as the divestiture of the Company’s Canadian and Australian radiopharmacy businesses.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2016 totaled $4.9 million or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $3.9 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2015. Full year 2016 net income totaled $26.8 million, compared to a net loss of $14.7 million in 2015. The full year $41.5 million improvement is primarily attributable to operational improvements, decreased interest expense and one-time activities in 2015 associated with the Company’s initial public offering and debt refinancing.

The Company’s fourth quarter 2016 Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation) was $19.8 million, or 26.7% of revenues, compared to $18.3 million, or 25.7% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2015. Full year 2016 Adjusted EBITDA was $78.3 million, or 25.9% of revenues, compared to $76.3 million, or 26.0% of revenues, for 2015, exceeding 2016 guidance of $73 million to $75 million. Higher Adjusted EBITDA was attributable to the strong performance of higher margin products in the U.S. and the Company’s shift to a distribution model in Canada and Australia, partially offset by the margin impact of price concessions attributed to the Company’s nuclear products contracting strategy and incremental sales and marketing expenses attributable to the growth of DEFINITY sales.

Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO, commented, “2016 was a successful year for the Company on a number of levels as we exceeded both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance, delivering significant value to shareholders. Our strong results reflect 18.1% revenue growth of DEFINITY worldwide, execution of our nuclear products contracting strategy, and a consistent focus on optimizing our capital structure, including $75 million of reduction in our outstanding debt. We enter 2017 poised to drive continued growth while remaining focused on building our portfolio and strengthening the long-term financial results of the Company.”

Outlook

The Company anticipates worldwide revenues for full year 2017 of approximately $312 million to $317 million, compared to $301.9 million in 2016. For the first quarter of 2017, the Company expects worldwide revenues in the range of $77 million to $80 million.

The Company anticipates full year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA, as described in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, of $79 million to $82 million, representing 24.9% to 26.3% of anticipated worldwide revenues. For the first quarter of 2017, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $18 million to $20 million.

The Company’s guidance for worldwide revenues and Adjusted EBITDA are forward-looking statements. They are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from guidance. Forward-looking statements are not predictions of the Company’s actual performance. See the cautionary information about forward-looking statements in the “Safe-Harbor Statement” section of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency; adjusted operating income; adjusted net income; Adjusted EBITDA; adjusted net income per share – 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. 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 2017 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 2017 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, together with some of the excluded information not being 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.
