Recent Business Highlights

Business Development Updates

• In January, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Life Molecular Imaging Ltd. (Life Molecular), which is now expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The acquisition will provide Lantheus with Neuraceq^®, a globally approved beta-amyloid targeted radiodiagnostic for Alzheimer’s disease, along with a strong commercial footprint and infrastructure. The deal is complementary to Lantheus’ portfolio of late-stage neurology radiodiagnostics and builds on the acquisition of worldwide rights to LNTH-2401 (⁶⁸Ga-DOTA-RM2) and LNTH-2402 (¹⁷⁷Lu-DOTA-RM2) announced last year.
• Also in January, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Evergreen, a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company based in New Jersey. On April 1, we announced the completion of the acquisition. Through the transaction, Lantheus has acquired OCTEVY^™, a registrational-stage PET imaging agent targeting neuroendocrine tumors, which complements Lantheus’ therapeutic candidate PNT2003, as well as acquiring a portfolio of clinical and pre-clinical theranostic pairs. The acquisition also advances Lantheus’ capabilities with the addition of Evergreen’s radioligand therapy manufacturing infrastructure, including a revenue-generating CDMO business.
• On May 6, 2025, the Company announced the agreement to sell the Company’s SPECT business to Illuminated Holdings, Inc., the parent company of SHINE Technologies, LLC (SHINE). Under the terms of the agreement, SHINE will acquire Lantheus’ SPECT business, including its diagnostic agents (TechneLite, NEUROLITE, Xenon Xe-133 Gas, and Cardiolite), the portion of the North Billerica, MA campus that manufactures Lantheus’ SPECT products and the SPECT-related Canadian operations. The transaction allows Lantheus to focus on growing its commercial portfolio of innovative PET radiodiagnostics and microbubbles, while advancing its pipeline of radiopharmaceuticals. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to customary closing conditions.
  
  

Radiopharmaceutical Pipeline Updates

• Lantheus recently announced that MK-6240, its next-generation tau imaging agent, met its primary endpoints in two pivotal clinical studies assessing the investigational asset’s sensitivity and specificity. The Company plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the third quarter of 2025.
• LNTH-2503, a potentially best- and first-in-class lutetium-177 theranostic pair targeting the cholecystokinin receptor (CCK2R) brought in by the Evergreen acquisition, has been authorized to proceed with a therapeutic Phase 1 study in patients with small cell lung cancer by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The Company expects to initiate the Phase 1 therapeutic study in the United States later this year and continue its ongoing Phase 2 gallium-68 imaging study.
• The Phase 3 SPLASH study of PNT2002 recently reached 100% of prespecified overall survival events. The results were comparable to the previously reported 46% and 75% readouts and remain confounded by patient crossover within the study. The Company is working closely with partner, Eli Lilly and Company, to review the full dataset, however the Company does not plan to pursue an NDA or further invest in this asset.
  

Full Year 2025 Interim Corporate Financial Guidance

		Guidance Issued May 7, 2025	Guidance Issued February 26, 2025
FY 2025 Revenue		$1.550 billion - $1.585 billion	$1.545 billion - $1.610 billion
FY 2025 Adjusted fully diluted EPS		$6.60 - $6.70	$7.00 - $7.20

On a forward-looking basis, the Company does not provide GAAP income per common share guidance or a reconciliation of GAAP income per common share to adjusted fully diluted EPS because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty business development and acquisition related expenses, purchase accounting fair value adjustments, 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.

Conference Call and Webcast

As previously announced, the Company will host a conference call and webcast on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. ET. To access the conference call or webcast, participants should register online at https://investor.lantheus.com/news-events/calendar-of-events.

A replay will be available approximately two hours after completion of the webcast and will be archived on the same web page for at least 30 days.

The conference call will include a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures. Reference is made to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, the reconciliation of the differences between the two financial measures, and the other information included in this press release, our Form 8-K filed with the SEC today, or otherwise available in the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.lantheus.com.

The conference call may include forward-looking statements. See the cautionary information about forward-looking statements in the safe-harbor section of this press release.

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; adjusted operating income and its line components, 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 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.
