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, 2017.
The Company’s worldwide revenues for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $81.4 million, or an increase of 6.4%, compared to $76.5 million for the prior year period, exceeding first quarter guidance of $77 million to $80 million. Revenue results were driven by approximately 20% growth in worldwide sales of DEFINITY® and approximately 8% growth in worldwide sales of TechneLite® compared to the first quarter of 2016, partially offset by a reduction in third-party product sales related to the divestitures of the Company’s Canadian and Australian radiopharmacy businesses in 2016.
Net income for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $4.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $10.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to the one-time $5.8 million gain during the prior year period associated with the Company’s divestiture of its Canadian radiopharmacy business as well as $3.9 million of expense incurred in the first quarter of 2017 related to the refinancing of debt that was consummated in March 2017, partially offset by the increase in revenues associated with DEFINITY and TechneLite in 2017. Adjusted net income (as defined below in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation) was $10.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to $4.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the prior year period.
The Company’s first quarter 2017 Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation) was $22.7 million, or 27.8% of revenues, compared to $18.4 million, or 24.0% of revenues, for the prior year period, exceeding first quarter guidance of $18 million to $20 million. The 23.4% improvement over the first quarter of 2016 was driven by the continued portfolio mix shift towards higher margin products and the Company’s shift to a distribution model in Canada and Australia, partially offset by Sales and Marketing expenses attributable to sales growth in its higher margin products, including DEFINITY.
“2017 is off to a strong start,” commented Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO. “We continue to drive volume with higher margin products. Growth in DEFINITY sales once again drove our over-performance. Our nuclear portfolio continues to deliver, and our collaboration agreement with GE Healthcare for flurpiridaz F 18 is now in place. The additional liquidity provided by our debt refinancing allows consideration of investment opportunities for future growth.”
Outlook
The Company has increased its full-year 2017 worldwide revenue guidance range to $313 million to $318 million from $312 million to $317 million, and expects worldwide revenues in the range of $79 million to $82 million for the second quarter of 2017.
The Company has also increased its full-year 2017 guidance range for Adjusted EBITDA, as described in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation provided later in this release, to $80 million to $83 million from $79 million to $82 million, measuring 24.9% to 26.3% of worldwide revenues. For the second quarter of 2017, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $18 million to $20 million.
The guidance for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of $5.0 million received from GE Healthcare in April as part of the flurpiridaz F 18 partnership.
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.

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.
