Additional details on the leadership transition plan are disclosed in a separate press release and filing, available in the Investor Relations section of our website located at www.lantheus.com.

Business Development Updates

  • In July, the Company announced the completion of the acquisition of Life Molecular Imaging. Through the transaction, Lantheus strengthened its nuclear medicine commercial portfolio, and enhanced the company’s capabilities across the radiopharmaceutical value chain. As part of the acquisition, Ludger Dinkelborg, PhD, formerly CEO and Managing Director of Life Molecular Imaging, joined Lantheus as Head of Research and Development.
  • In September, the Company announced an exclusive licensing agreement for GE HealthCare to develop, manufacture, and commercialize Lantheus’ piflufolastat F 18 in Japan (PYLARIFY® in the U.S. market) for prostate cancer diagnostics and companion diagnostic use. Under the terms of the agreement, GE HealthCare paid an upfront license fee and will pay Lantheus for development milestones and tiered royalties based on product sales in Japan. 

Radiopharmaceutical Pipeline Updates

  • In October, the Company announced the FDA established a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of March 29, 2026 for LNTH-2501 (Gallium-68 edotreotide), the Company’s diagnostic kit for the preparation of Ga 68 edotreotide Injection, indicated for use with PET imaging for localization of SSTR+ NETs in adult and pediatric patients.
  • In October, the Company announced the FDA has accepted its New Drug Application (NDA) for MK-6240, the Company’s F 18-labeled tau-targeted PET imaging agent. MK-6240 previously received Fast Track designation from the FDA for its potential to address an unmet medical need in Alzheimer’s disease diagnostics. The FDA has set a PDUFA target action date of August 13, 2026. 
  • In August, the Company announced the FDA acceptance of its NDA for a new formulation of piflufolastat F 18 PSMA PET imaging agent. In addition to increasing batch size – potentially enabling increased patient access, supply resilience, and enhanced production efficiency – Lantheus anticipates that the new formulation will qualify for three years of transitional pass-through payment status. The FDA has set a PDUFA target action date of March 6, 2026.

Other Key Updates

Full Year 2025 Updated Corporate Financial Guidance

    Guidance Issued November 6, 2025   Guidance Issued August 6, 2025
FY 2025 Revenue   $1.49 billion - $1.51 billion   $1.475 billion - $1.51 billion
FY 2025 Adjusted fully diluted EPS   $5.50 - $5.65   $5.50 - $5.70
         

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 Thursday, November 6, 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.

Internet Posting of Information

The Company routinely posts information that may be important to investors in the “Investors” section of its website at www.lantheus.com. The Company encourages investors and potential investors to consult its website regularly for important information about the Company. 

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 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.
