NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., February 25, 2020 - 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 fourth quarter and full year 2019 ended December 31, 2019.
The Company's worldwide revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 totaled $89.3 million, compared with $86.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 3.6% over the prior year period. Full year 2019 worldwide revenues were $347.3 million, compared with $343.4 million for the full year 2018, representing an increase of 1.2% over the prior year period.
The Company's fourth quarter 2019 net income was $10.5 million, or $0.26 per fully diluted share, as compared to $13.3 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2018, representing a decrease of 21.4% from the prior year period. Full year 2019 net income was $31.7 million, or $0.79 per fully diluted share, as compared to $40.5 million, or $1.03 per fully diluted share for the full year 2018, representing a decrease of 21.8% from the prior year period.
The Company's fourth quarter 2019 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.34, as compared to $0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2018, representing an increase of 19.0% over the prior year period. The Company's full year 2019 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $1.17, as compared to $1.13 for the full year 2018, representing an increase of 3.5% over the prior year period.
Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $22.4 million and $80.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2019. Free Cash Flow was $17.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, representing an increase of approximately $7.7 million, or 77.9% over the prior year period. Full year 2019 free cash flow was $58.3 million, as compared to $41.1 million for the full year 2018, representing an increase of approximately $17.3 million, or 42.0% over the prior year period.
"We finished 2019 with robust DEFINITY, earnings and free cash flow performance," said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO. "Throughout 2019, it was Lantheus team members from across the organization who drove these results. As we look to 2020 and beyond, we see exciting revenue and value creation opportunities for the Company as we add the Progenics' team with their exciting oncology, precision diagnostic, and other products to our own portfolio."
The Company guidance for the first quarter and full year 2020 is as follows:
| Guidance Issued February 25, 2020 | ||
| Q1 FY 2020 Revenue Growth | 2.9% - 5.2% | |
| Q1 FY 2020 Revenue | $89 million - $91 million | |
| Q1 FY 2020 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS | $0.25 - $0.27 | |
| Guidance Issued February 25, 2020 | ||
| FY 2020 Revenue Growth | 10.6% - 12.3% | |
| FY 2020 Revenue | $384 million - $390 million | |
| FY 2020 Adjusted Fully Diluted EPS | $1.34 - $1.40 |
On a forward-looking basis, the Company does not provide GAAP income per common share guidance or a reconciliation of adjusted fully diluted EPS to GAAP income per common share 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.

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; 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 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.
This press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP guidance for 2020 adjusted fully diluted EPS. No reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP guidance is included in this press release because, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information that would be required to prepare such a reconciliation and the fact that some of the excluded
information is not readily 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.
