Lantheus Holdings Inc. is a leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company headquartered in Massachusetts, specializing in diagnostic and therapeutic solutions to improve patient outcomes in the healthcare industry. The company has been providing radiopharmaceutical solutions for over 65 years, with a presence in the U.S., Canada, and Sweden.
In its third quarter of 2024, Lantheus Holdings Inc. reported an 18.4% increase in worldwide revenue, reaching $378.7 million compared to the same period in 2023. This growth was primarily driven by their leading diagnostic agents, such as PYLARIFY and DEFINITY, despite a slight decrease in GAAP earnings per share.
Key financial highlights include an adjusted fully diluted earnings per share increase to $1.70 from $1.47 in the previous year, and an adjusted net income growth of 20.4%. The company secured strategic partnerships and witnessed robust sales growth in its flagship products, with PYLARIFY sales reaching $259.8 million. Additionally, Lantheus expanded its Alzheimer’s disease radiodiagnostics portfolio and reported progress in its SPLASH Phase 3 study for a prostate cancer treatment.
Lantheus also praised the latest CMS rule that improves payment for specialized diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, anticipating enhanced patient access and care. The company’s strong financial discipline is evident in its expanded cash reserves and strategic investments, positioning it favorably to pursue further growth in its radiopharmaceutical pipeline.
Looking forward, Lantheus continues to focus on operational excellence and strategic investments, with narrowed guidance for full-year 2024 revenues and adjusted earnings per share towards the higher end of previous estimates. The company’s management remains optimistic about maintaining market leadership and expanding its innovative product portfolio, particularly in oncology and Alzheimer’s diagnostics.
