Balance Sheet At March 31, 2025 , the Company's cash and cash equivalents grew to $938.5 million , compared to $912.8 million at December 31, 2024 , after prepaying a $50.0 million deposit related to our Evergreen Theragnostics, Inc. (Evergreen) acquisition, which closed early in the second quarter of 2025. The Company currently has access to up to $750 .0 million from a revolving line of credit. 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 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.
