1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lantheus and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2023 or any future period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2023.
Progenics Acquisition
On June 19, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 20, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Lantheus Holdings, Plato Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lantheus Holdings (“Merger Sub”), and Progenics, Lantheus Holdings completed the acquisition of Progenics by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Progenics, with Progenics becoming an indirect subsidiary of Lantheus Holdings following the completion of such merger (the “Progenics Acquisition”).
In connection with the Progenics Acquisition, Lantheus Holdings issued 26,844,877 shares of Lantheus Holdings common stock and 86,630,633 contingent value rights (each a “CVR”) tied to the financial performance of PYLARIFY to former Progenics stockholders and option holders. Each CVR entitled its holder to receive a pro rata share of aggregate cash payments equal to 40% of United States (“U.S.”) net sales generated by PYLARIFY in 2022 and 2023 in excess of $100.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively. The Company’s aggregate payments in respect of the CVRs, together with any other non-stock consideration treated as paid in connection with the Progenics Acquisition, was capped at 19.9% of the total consideration the Company paid in the Progenics Acquisition. Based on the Company’s 2022 PYLARIFY net sales, the Company determined that the aggregate payment obligation under the CVRs was $99.6 million, which was the maximum amount payable. The Company paid out this amount in May 2023 in full satisfaction of the CVRs.

________________________________
(1)The Company’s product revenue includes PYLARIFY and DEFINITY among other products. This category represents the delivery of physical goods. The Company applies the same revenue recognition policies and judgments for all its principal products.
(2)The Company recognized $24.0 million license revenue in the first quarter of 2022 related to an agreement with Novartis Pharma AG.
The Company classifies its revenues into three product categories: Radiopharmaceutical Oncology, Precision Diagnostics, and Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue. Radiopharmaceutical Oncology includes PYLARIFY and AZEDRA. Precision Diagnostics includes DEFINITY, TechneLite and other diagnostic imaging products. Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue includes strategic partnerships and other arrangements related to other products of the Company, including our royalty revenue from our license of RELISTOR.
On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into a global settlement agreement with Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”), Advanced Accelerator Applications USA, Inc. (“AAA”), Endocyte, Inc. (“Endocyte”) and their affiliates (the “Novartis Agreement”) to settle certain disputes between the parties. Under the Novartis Agreement, Novartis agreed to make a lump sum payment to the Company, as well as to reimburse the Company for certain fees and expenses in connection with certain litigation, and the Company agreed to license certain intellectual property to Novartis. In addition, the Company agreed to supply PYLARIFY for clinical purposes at an arms-length value which will be recorded revenue in the future as product is provided. In accordance with the Company's ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, assessment, Novartis is considered to be a customer. The Company determined that the $24.0 million that Novartis paid to the Company pursuant to the Novartis Agreement constituted a single element which was satisfied on the date of the execution of the Novartis Agreement. The Company determined that the license of intellectual property carried a fair value of $24.0 million. As such, the Company assigned the value of the license to be $24.0 million, which constitutes the entire transaction price and does not require further allocation. The Company determined that the $24.0 million represented the point at which Novartis, as the licensee, was able to use and benefit from the license and recognized revenue when the license was granted to Novartis upon execution of the Novartis Agreement. The Company recognized the $24.0 million fee as revenue on its consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

The Company would be required to allocate a portion of its revenue received from commercial contracts to future reporting periods to the extent the Company had performance obligations that extended beyond one year. However, the Company’s performance obligations are typically part of contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. As such, the Company is not disclosing the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) as of the end of the reporting period.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability of fair value measurements, financial instruments are categorized based on a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
•Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.) and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect a Company’s estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis currently consist of money market funds and contingent consideration liabilities. The Company invests excess cash from its operating cash accounts in overnight investments and reflects these amounts in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
The tables below present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3.
As part of the Progenics Acquisition, the Company issued CVRs and recorded the fair value as part of consideration transferred. Each CVR entitled its holder to receive a pro rata share of aggregate cash payments equal to 40% of U.S. net sales generated by PYLARIFY in 2022 and 2023 in excess of $100.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, subject to a maximum cap. Refer to Note 1, “Basis of Presentation” for further details on the CVRs. Based on the U.S. net sales generated by PYLARIFY in 2022, the Company paid out the maximum amount payable under the CVRs from available cash in May 2023 in full satisfaction of the CVR obligation.
The Company also assumed contingent consideration liabilities related to a previous acquisition completed by Progenics in 2013 (“2013 Acquisition”). These contingent consideration liabilities include potential payments of up to $70.0 million if the Company attains certain net sales targets primarily for AZEDRA and 1095 (also known as 131 I-MIP-1095) and a $5.0 million 1095 commercialization milestone. Additionally, there is a potential payment of up to $10.0 million related to a 1404 commercialization
10
milestone. The Company’s total potential payments related to the 2013 Acquisition are approximately $85.0 million. The Company considers the contingent consideration liabilities relating to the 2013 Acquisition each a Level 3 instrument (one with significant unobservable inputs) in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of these was determined based on probability adjusted discounted cash flows and Monte Carlo simulation models that included significant estimates and assumptions pertaining to commercialization events and sales targets. The most significant unobservable inputs with respect to 1095 and 1404 are the probabilities of achieving regulatory approval of those development projects and subsequent commercial success.
Significant changes in any of the probabilities of success, the probabilities as to the periods in which sales targets and milestones will be achieved, discount rates or underlying revenue forecasts would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The Company records the contingent consideration liability at fair value with changes in estimated fair values recorded in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company can give no assurance that the actual amounts paid, if any, in connection with the contingent consideration liabilities, will be consistent with any recurring fair value estimate of such contingent consideration liabilities.
The following tables summarize quantitative information and assumptions pertaining to the fair value measurement of liabilities using Level 3 inputs at June 30, 2023.

The change in fair value of the contingent financial liabilities resulted in a reduction of general and administrative expense of $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and was primarily due to changes in revenue forecasts and the passage of time (excluding the CVRs). The Company made the applicable cash payment related to the CVRs in May 2023.
5. Income Taxes
The Company calculates income taxes at the end of each reporting period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full year, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period they occur. Cumulative adjustments to the tax provision are recorded in the reporting period in which a change in the estimated annual effective tax rate is determined. The Company’s income tax expense is presented below:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (in thousands) | 2023 | 2022 | 2023 | 2022 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Income tax expense | $ | 29,557 | $ | 18,987 | $ | 21,260 | $ | 33,926 | |||||||||||||||
The Company regularly assesses its ability to realize its deferred tax assets. Assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets requires significant management judgment. In determining whether its deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company evaluated all available positive and negative evidence, and weighed the objective evidence and expected impact. The Company continues to retain immaterial valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the medical imaging business from Bristol-Myers Squibb (“BMS”) in 2008, the Company recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions related to the acquired business and simultaneously entered into a tax indemnification agreement with BMS under which BMS agreed to indemnify the Company for any payments made to settle those uncertain tax positions with the state taxing authorities. Accordingly, a long-term receivable is recorded to account for the expected value to the Company of future indemnification payments to be paid on behalf of the Company by BMS, net of actual tax benefits received by the Company. The tax indemnification receivable is recorded within other long-term assets.
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the change in the tax liabilities, penalties and interest associated with these obligations (net of any offsetting federal or state benefit) is recognized within income tax expense. As these reserves change, adjustments are included in income tax expense while the offsetting adjustment is included in other income. Assuming that the remaining receivable from BMS continues to be considered recoverable by the Company, there will be no effect on net income and no net cash outflows related to these liabilities.
6. Inventory
Inventory consisted of the following:
| (in thousands) | June 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||||
| Raw materials | $ | 25,312 | $ | 19,987 | |||||||

| Finished goods | 15,086 | 7,254 | |||||||||
| Total inventory | $ | 51,801 | $ | 35,475 | |||||||
Inventory costs associated with products that have not yet received regulatory approval are capitalized if the Company believes there is probable future commercial use of the product and future economic benefit of the asset. If future commercial use of the
12
product is not probable, then inventory costs associated with such product are expensed during the period the costs are incurred. The Company has no inventory pending regulatory approval as of June 30, 2023.
7. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment, net, consisted of the following:
| (in thousands) | June 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||||
| Land | $ | 9,480 | $ | 13,450 | |||||||

| Total property, plant and equipment, net | $ | 129,981 | $ | 122,166 | |||||||
Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant and equipment, net, was $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $6.7 million and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of a decline in expected future cash flows related to a certain asset group, the Company determined certain impairment triggers had occurred. The Company reviewed revised undiscounted cash flows that were estimated to be generated by the asset group as of June 30, 2023. Based on the undiscounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that the asset group had net carrying values that exceeded their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. The Company then estimated the fair value of the asset group based on their discounted cash flows. The carrying value exceeded the fair value and as a result, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Long-Lived Assets Held for Sale
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company committed to a plan to sell a portion of its land and buildings associated with its Billerica, Massachusetts campus. Effective March 16, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “P&S”) with a prospective buyer. The assets were classified as held for sale and comprised entirely of property, plant and equipment, net. The Company determined that the fair value of the net assets being sold exceeded the carrying value as of June 30, 2023. The purchase price for the campus sale is $10.0 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close during the second half of 2023.
8. Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and Other Long-Term Liabilities

9. Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company considers its legal obligation to remediate its facilities upon a potential decommissioning of its radioactive-related operations as an asset retirement obligation. The Company has production facilities which manufacture and process radioactive materials at its North Billerica, Massachusetts and Somerset, New Jersey sites. As of June 30, 2023, the liability is measured at the present value of the obligation expected to be incurred and is approximately $25.1 million.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations:
| (in thousands) | Amount | ||||

The Company is required to provide the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection financial assurance demonstrating the Company’s ability to fund the decommissioning of its North Billerica, Massachusetts and Somerset, New Jersey production facilities, respectively, upon closure. The Company has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $30.3 million surety bond.

The Company recorded amortization expense for its intangible assets of $12.4 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $23.5 million and $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
In March 2023, the Company stopped all development activities in relation to a future indication associated with AZEDRA, which is classified as an in process research and development (“IPR&D”) intangible asset. The Company did not identify any alternative future uses or development programs for the asset, therefore the asset group, which consists of the IPR&D asset and a currently marketed product, was assessed for impairment as of March 31, 2023. The Company considered several factors including market share, price and competitive product offerings in evaluating the quantitative impact of the future cash flows. The Company
14
concluded that the carrying amount exceeded the fair value of the asset group, which had no value. Accordingly, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge associated with the IPR&D asset of $15.6 million in research and development expenses and a non-cash impairment charge of $116.4 million in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In February 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Cerveau to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of Cerveau for approximately $35.3 million. In May 2023, upon successful completion of a technology transfer, the Company paid $10.0 million to the selling stockholders of Cerveau. This additional contingent payment was capitalized as part of the asset cost and increased the Company’s customer relationship intangible assets. See Note 19, “Acquisition of Assets” for further discussion of the Cerveau acquisition.

In December 2022, the Company refinanced its existing credit facility, consisting of (i) a $200.0 million five-year term loan facility (the “2019 Term Facility”) and (ii) a $200.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2019 Term Facility, the “2019 Facility”), with a new $100.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “2022 Term Facility” and, the loans thereunder, the “Term Loans”) and a new $350.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2022 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2022 Term Facility, the “2022 Facility”).
The Company used approximately $7.8 million of cash on hand to primarily repay the principal amount of the loans outstanding related to the 2019 Facility through the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, in December 2022, the Company used approximately $167.6 million of cash on hand to repay in full the aggregate remaining principal amount of the loans outstanding under the 2019 Facility and to pay related interest, transaction fees and expenses.
The Company paid off the 2019 Term Facility using available cash and did not utilize another term loan to fund the payoff. While the 2022 Term Facility allowed for a delayed draw term loan, the loan was not drawn upon. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts associated with
15
the 2019 Term Facility. In addition, the Company incurred and capitalized $2.7 million of new deferred financing costs related to the refinancing.
2022 Term Facility
The Company expected to draw from the 2022 Term Facility only if a proposed offering of notes by the Company was not consummated. The commitment of the lenders to provide the 2022 Term Facility was terminated upon the completion of such note offering in December 2022. The 2022 Term Facility included a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the 2022 Term Facility, which would have been payable commencing on January 16, 2023 and would have ended on the earliest of (i) the day the Term Loans under the 2022 Term Facility were funded, (ii) the last day of the delayed draw availability period and (iii) the day the commitments under the 2022 Term Facility were reduced to zero. The Company did not draw from the 2022 Term Facility and, as such, no interest is due under this instrument.
2022 Revolving Facility
Under the terms of the 2022 Revolving Facility, the lenders are committed to extending credit to the Company from time to time until December 2, 2027 consisting of revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $350.0 million (the “Revolving Commitment”) at any time, including a $20.0 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) and a $10.0 million sub-facility for swingline loans (the “Swingline Loans”). The Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and the Revolving Loans, if used, are expected to be used for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.
The Revolving Loans bear interest, with pricing based from time to time at the Company’s election, at (i) the secured overnight financing rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on its website plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.50% based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio or (ii) the alternative base rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.50% based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The 2022 Revolving Facility also includes an unused commitment fee at a rate ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
The Company is permitted to voluntarily prepay the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, or reduce or terminate the Revolving Commitment, in each case, without premium or penalty. On any business day on which the total amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans exceeds the total Revolving Commitment, the Company must prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. The Company is not required to make mandatory prepayments under the 2022 Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Facility.
The Company has the right to request an increase to the Revolving Commitment in an aggregate principal amount of up to the sum of $335.0 million or consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended, plus additional amounts in certain circumstances (collectively, the “Incremental Cap”), minus certain incremental term loans made pursuant to specified incremental term loan commitments (“Incremental Term Loans”). The Company has the right to request Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to the Incremental Cap less any incremental increases to the Revolving Commitment. Proceeds of Incremental Term Loans may be used for working capital and for other general corporate purposes and will bear interest at rates agreed between the Company and the lenders providing the Incremental Term Loans.
2022 Facility Covenants
The 2022 Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative and reporting covenants, as well as financial maintenance covenants pursuant to which the Company is required to be in quarterly compliance, measured on a trailing four quarter basis, with two financial covenants. The minimum interest coverage ratio, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, must be at least 3.00 to 1.00. The maximum total net leverage ratio permitted by the financial covenant is displayed in the table below:
2022 Credit Agreement
| Period | Total Net Leverage Ratio | ||||
| Q2 2023 to Q4 2023 | 4.00 to 1.00 | ||||

The 2022 Facility contains usual and customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness (ii) create liens; (iii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments; (vi) make certain investments; (vii) repay subordinated indebtedness prior to stated maturity; and (viii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates.
Upon an event of default, the Administrative Agent will have the right to declare the loans and other obligations outstanding under the 2022 Facility immediately due and payable and all commitments immediately terminated.
16
The 2022 Facility is guaranteed by Lantheus Holdings, and certain subsidiaries of LMI, including Progenics and Lantheus Real Estate, and obligations under the 2022 Facility are generally secured by first priority liens over substantially all of the assets of each of LMI, Lantheus Holdings, and certain subsidiaries of LMI, including Progenics and Lantheus Real Estate (subject to customary exclusions set forth in the transaction documents) owned as of December 2, 2022 or thereafter acquired.
Convertible Notes
On December 8, 2022, the Company issued $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), which includes $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Notes. The Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of December 8, 2022 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, LMI (the “Guarantor”), as Guarantor, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $557.8 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantor. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.625% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2023, and will mature on December 15, 2027 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 12.5291 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $79.81 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing an initial conversion premium of approximately 42.5% above the closing price of $56.01 per share of the Company’s common stock on December 5, 2022). In no event shall the conversion rate per $1,000 in principal amount of notes exceed 17.8539 shares of the Company’s common stock. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2027, the Notes may be converted at the option of the holders only upon occurrence of specified events and during certain periods, and thereafter until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Notes may be converted at any time. The Company will satisfy any conversion by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after December 22, 2025 if the closing sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price of the Notes for a specified period of time. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Company evaluated the Notes upon completion of the sale and concluded on the following features:
•Conversion Feature: The Company determined that the conversion feature qualifies for the classification of equity. As a result, the conversion feature should not be bifurcated as a derivative instrument and the Notes were accounted for as a single liability.
•Redemption Features: The redemption features were reviewed within the Notes and the Company determined that the redemption features are closely related to the Notes and as such should not be separately accounted for as a bifurcated derivative instrument.
•Additional Interest Features: The Notes may result in additional interest if the Company fails to timely file any document that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will pay additional interest on the notes at a rate equal to 0.25% to 0.50% per annum based on the principal amount of notes outstanding for each day the Company failure to file has occurred or the notes are not otherwise freely tradable. Further, if the notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by holders other than our affiliates or holders that were our affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding as of the 385th day after the last date of original issuance of the notes offered hereby, the Company will pay additional interest on the notes at a rate equal to (i) 0.25% to 0.50% per annum based on the principal amount of notes outstanding for each day until the restrictive legend has been removed from the notes, the notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP and the notes are freely tradable. The Company concluded that the interest feature is unrelated to the credit risk and should be bifurcated from the Notes, however, the Company assessed the probabilities of triggering events occurring under these features and does not expect to trigger the aforementioned events. These events will continue to be monitored to determine whether the interest feature will be bifurcated if it has value.
As of June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the Notes was $575.0 million and the fair value of the liability was $575.0 million. The Company recorded interest expense of approximately $3.9 million and $7.8 million related to the Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. There were no conversions of Notes during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

12. Derivative Instruments
The Company has used, but does not currently use, interest rate swaps to reduce the variability in cash flows associated with portions of the Company’s interest payments on variable rate debt. In March 2020, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to fix the LIBOR rate on a notional amount of $100.0 million through May 31, 2024. The average fixed LIBOR rate on the interest rate swaps was approximately 0.82%. This agreement involved the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. In accordance with hedge accounting, the interest rate swaps were recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value, and changes in the fair value of the swap agreements were recorded to other comprehensive loss and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affected earnings or it will become probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur.
On December 2, 2022, the Company voluntarily terminated the interest rate swap contracts in connection with the refinancing of debt. Upon termination, the Company received approximately $5.6 million in cash and the remaining balance of approximately $5.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swap contracts were reclassified into earnings.
13. Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income
The components of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax of zero and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, consisted of the following:

On May 4, 2023, the Company entered into a modification to the operating lease for office space in Bedford, Massachusetts, (the “Existing Premises”) that was executed in February 2022. The lease commenced and was recorded in December 2022 for $11.0 million and the initial term was set to expire in June 2031. The lease modification includes a lease of additional office and laboratory space at the Bedford location (the “Additional Premises”) for a term of 15 years and 4 months and extends the term of the lease for the Existing Premises to be coterminous with the term of the lease for the Additional Premises. As a result of the extended term for the Existing Premises, the Company recorded an additional right-of-use asset and liability of $6.0 million. The modification also contains a provision to convert the rent schedule of the Existing Premises from gross to triple net in 2024, which may result in an additional adjustment to the right of use asset and liability. The Additional Premises are currently being renovated and the associated right-of-use asset and liability will be recorded once renovations are substantially complete. The lease payments for the Additional Premises are currently expected to commence in the second half of 2024 when renovation of the Additional Premises is expected to be completed.

Impact of the Notes
The Company considered whether the Notes are participating securities through the two-class method. The Company determined that if a cash dividend is paid that is greater than the then stock price, the holder of Notes will receive cash on an if-converted basis.
19
While this feature is considered to be a participating right; basic earnings per share is only impacted if the Company’s earnings exceeds the current share price, regardless of whether such dividend is declared. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no such dividend was declared. In addition, the Company is required to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion, and therefore, the Company uses the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion option on diluted net income per share, if applicable, unless the application of the two-class method is dilutive. The conversion option will have a dilutive impact on net income per share of Common Stock when the average price per share of the Company's common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of the Notes of $79.81 per share. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeded the conversion price of the Notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the average price per share of the Company's Common Stock was below the conversion price of the Notes.

18. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company has in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to investigations by governmental and regulatory authorities, which expose it to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory or other proceedings, as a result of which the Company could be required to pay significant fines or penalties. The costs and outcome of litigation, regulatory or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims, actions or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. In addition, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations. If a matter is both probable to result in material liability and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible material loss or range of loss. If such loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any material ongoing litigation to which the Company was a party.

19. Acquisition of Assets
On February 6, 2023, the Company acquired Cerveau. Cerveau’s primary asset is MK-6240, a second-generation F 18-labeled positron emission tomography (“PET”) imaging agent that targets Tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease. The Company determined that upon review of the Cerveau acquisition, the transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination and is therefore treated as an asset acquisition.
In February 2023, the Company made an upfront payment of approximately $35.3 million to the stockholders of Cerveau (the “Selling Stockholders”) and paid an additional $10.0 million in May 2023 upon the successful completion of a technology transfer. The Company could pay up to an additional $51.0 million in milestone payments upon achievement of specified U.S. regulatory milestones related to MK-6240. The Selling Stockholders are also eligible to receive up to $1.2 billion in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual commercial sales thresholds of MK-6240 in the event the Company pursues commercialization, as well as up to $13.5 million in research revenue milestones upon achievement of specified annual research revenue thresholds. Additionally, the Company will pay to the Selling Stockholders up to double-digit royalty payments for research revenue and commercial sales. Research revenue is derived from existing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies that use MK-6240 in clinical trials and includes milestone and dose-related payments. The purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased Cerveau specifies, among other things, that certain members of the Selling Stockholders will also provide transition and clinical development services for a prescribed time following the closing of the transaction.
In December 2022, the Company made upfront payments of $260.0 million to POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (“POINT”) as a part of an asset acquisition with the potential for additional milestone payments of approximately $1.8 billion for the two licensed assets based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval and net sales and commercial milestones.
Under the terms of the license agreement between Lantheus Two and POINT for PNT2002, Lantheus Two paid POINT an upfront cash payment of $250.0 million, and could pay up to an additional $281.0 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT2002. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $1.3 billion in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT2002.
Under the terms of the license agreement between Lantheus Three and POINT for PNT2003, Lantheus Three paid POINT an upfront cash payment of $10.0 million, and could pay up to an additional $34.5 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT2003. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $275.0 million in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT2003.
Additionally, the Company will pay POINT royalties on net sales, beyond certain financial thresholds and subject to conditions, of 20% for PNT2002 and 15% for PNT2003. Costs of IPR&D projects acquired as part of an asset acquisition that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred, and therefore, a charge of $260.0 million was recognized in research and development expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022.
20. Segment Information
The Company operates as one business segment: the development, manufacture and sale of innovative imaging diagnostics, radiotherapeutics, and artificial intelligence solutions designed to enable clinicians to Find, Fight and Follow disease to deliver better patient outcomes. This conclusion reflects the Company’s focus on the performance of the business on a consolidated worldwide basis. The results of this operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s chief operating decision maker does not manage any part of the Company separately, and the allocation of resources and assessment of performance are based on the Company’s consolidated operating results.
21. Subsequent Events
On August 2, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the right to all of its RELISTOR net sales royalties under its license agreement with Bausch, relating to royalties payable in respect of the second quarter of 2023 and subsequent quarters. The Company received an initial payment of approximately $98.0 million in connection with the sale and has the right to receive an additional payment from the buyer of $5.0 million if worldwide net sales of RELISTOR in 2025 exceed a specified threshold. Proceeds from this transaction will be used in the Company’s core businesses and product pipeline.

For more information, see Note 19, “Acquisition of Assets” in our consolidated financial statements included herein.
Acquisition of Cerveau Technologies, Inc.
On February 6, 2023, we announced that we acquired Cerveau. Cerveau’s asset is MK-6240, a second-generation F 18-labeled PET imaging agent that targets Tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid the Selling Stockholders an upfront payment of $35.0 million in February 2023 and paid an additional $10.0 million in May 2023 upon the successful completion of a technology transfer. The Selling Stockholders are also eligible to receive additional development and commercial milestone payments. Additionally, we will pay double-digit royalty payments for research revenue and commercial sales. Research revenue is derived from existing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies that use MK-6240 in clinical trials and includes milestone and dose-related payments. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement for Cerveau, certain members of the Selling Stockholders will also provide transition and clinical development services for a prescribed time following the closing of the transaction.

For more information, see Note 19, “Acquisition of Assets” in our consolidated financial statements included herein.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results
Our business and financial performance have been, and continue to be, impacted by the following:
Continued Growth of PYLARIFY
PYLARIFY, an F 18-labeled PET imaging agent targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (“PSMA”), was approved by the FDA in May 2021 and commercially launched in the U.S. in June 2021.
In March 2022, we announced a strategic collaboration with Novartis to include PYLARIFY in prostate cancer trials with PLUVICTO, Novartis’ PSMA-targeted therapeutic. In addition, in 2022, we entered into an agreement with Curium to add PYLARIFY to its PSMA-targeted therapeutic clinical trial referred to by Curium as ECLIPSE. Both of these collaborations, as well as other collaborations using PYLARIFY are described further under Part I, Item 1. “Business - Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue – Oncology.” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Also, during 2022, the National Comprehensive Cancer Center updated its guidelines and the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging updated its appropriate use criteria, both noting that PSMA PET imaging agents, including PYLARIFY, can be used for patient selection for PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy.
During 2021, 2022 and the first half of 2023, we hired additional employees to assist us with the commercialization of PYLARIFY, including in Sales, Marketing, Reimbursement, Quality and Medical Affairs.
In addition to our network of PET manufacturing facilities (“PMFs”), we partnered with academic medical centers in the U.S. that have radioisotope-producing cyclotrons who have expressed an interest in manufacturing PYLARIFY.
Our commercial launch required obtaining necessary market access which included, but was not limited to, adequate coding, coverage and payment for PYLARIFY, including coverage from Medicare, Medicaid and other government payors, as well as private payors. We received notification that our Healthcare Procedure Coding System (“HCPCS”) code, which enables streamlined billing, went into effect as of January 1, 2022. In addition, effective January 1, 2022, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) granted Transitional Pass-Through Payment Status (“TPT Status”) in the hospital outpatient setting for PYLARIFY, enabling traditional Medicare to provide an incremental payment for PET/CT scans performed with PYLARIFY in that setting. TPT Status for PYLARIFY could expire on December 31, 2024.
The successful growth of PYLARIFY is dependent on our ability to sustain PYLARIFY as the leading PSMA PET imaging agent in an increasingly competitive marketplace. PYLARIFY’s competition includes two commercially available gallium-68-based PSMA imaging agents, a recently approved fluorine-18-based PSMA imaging agent, and other non-PSMA-based imaging agents, commonly referred to as conventional imaging.
In connection with the acquisition of Progenics in June 2020, we issued CVRs tied to the financial performance of PYLARIFY. Each CVR entitled its holder to receive a pro rata share of aggregate cash payments equal to 40% of U.S. net sales generated by PYLARIFY in 2022 and 2023 in excess of $100.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, but not to exceed, in the aggregate, 19.9% of the total consideration we paid in the acquisition of Progenics. Based on our 2022 PYLARIFY net sales, we determined that the aggregate payment obligation under the CVRs was $99.6 million, which was the maximum amount payable under the CVRs. We paid $99.6 million to the CVR holders during May 2023 in full satisfaction of our obligations under the CVRs.
PYLARIFY AI Use
During 2021, we announced that EXINI was granted 510(k) clearance by the FDA in the U.S. and received European Conformity Marking (“CE marking”) in Europe for aPROMISE. We commercially launched aPROMISE under the name PYLARIFY AI in the U.S. in November 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, we received a new 510(k) clearance for an updated version of our PYLARIFY AI platform.
PYLARIFY AI is artificial intelligence medical device software developed to assist with the reading and quantification of PYLARIFY scans. The technology automatically analyzes a PSMA PET/CT image to segment anatomical regions – 51 bones and 12 soft tissue organs. This image segmentation enables automated localization, detection and quantification of potential PSMA-avid lesions in a PSMA PET/CT image, which data is then incorporated into the reporting system used by physicians.
Continued Growth of DEFINITY
24
We believe we will be able to increase use of DEFINITY through continued education of physicians and healthcare providers about the benefits of ultrasound enhancing agents in suboptimal echocardiograms. The U.S. market currently has three echocardiography ultrasound enhancing agents approved by the FDA; we estimate that DEFINITY will continue to hold at least an 80% market share.
As we continue to expand our microbubble franchise, our activities include:
•Patents - We continue to actively pursue additional patents in connection with DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT, both in the U.S. and internationally. In the U.S. for DEFINITY, we have six Orange Book-listed method of use patents, one of which expires in 2035 and five of which expire in 2037, as well as additional manufacturing patents that are not Orange Book-listed expiring in 2037.
•DEFINITY RT - The formulation of DEFINITY that we have branded as DEFINITY RT became commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2021. DEFINITY RT allows both storage and shipment at room temperature and provides clinicians an additional choice and allows for greater utility of this formulation in broader clinical settings. Given its physical characteristics, we believe DEFINITY RT is also well-suited for inclusion in kits requiring microbubbles for other indications and applications (including in kits developed by third parties of the type described in the paragraph entitled Microbubble Franchise below).
•VIALMIX RFID – DEFINITY is activated through the use of medical devices branded as VIALMIX and VIALMIX RFID. The activation rate and time are controlled by VIALMIX RFID through the use of radio-frequency identification technology (“RFID”) to ensure reproducible activation of DEFINITY. The RFID tag, which is affixed to the vial label, enables the DEFINITY vial to be appropriately activated with the VIALMIX RFID activation device.
Expansion of Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue
We continue to seek ways to further increase the overall value of our portfolio of products and product candidates. We are evaluating a number of different opportunities to collaborate, in-license or acquire additional products, product candidates, businesses and technologies to drive our future growth. In particular, we are focused on late-stage radiopharmaceutical diagnostic and therapeutic product opportunities in oncology and other strategic areas that will complement our existing portfolio.
Our Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue category includes our Strategic Partnerships, Pharma Services and Digital Solutions businesses and is focused on enabling precision medicine with biomarkers and digital solutions.
•Strategic Partnerships – We seek to monetize our assets through our Strategic Partnerships business, by optimizing core assets geographically and by driving value through non-core assets. For example, with respect to PYLARIFY, we have licensed the development and commercialization rights of that imaging agent in Europe to Curium. Similarly, we licensed the commercialization rights for RELISTOR to Bausch and the commercialization rights for flurpiridaz fluorine-18 to GE Healthcare Limited.
•Pharma Services – We use our Pharma Services business to offer our Biomarkers and Microbubble Platforms to pharmaceutical and start-up companies to support their research and development of therapeutic drugs and devices. The strategic goal of our Pharma Services business is to gain early access to innovation, de-risk the development, data generation and co-funding of our pipeline through collaborations, embed our technologies in the clinical ecosystem and establish the clinical utility of product candidates and research tools in our pipeline. Our Biomarkers are intended to support patient selection and the monitoring of disease progression, primarily with respect to different oncological diseases. For example, piflufolastat F 18 is currently being used by Curium, Novartis, POINT and Regeneron in those companies’ prostate cancer therapeutic drug development programs. Our acquisition of Cerveau in February 2023 added MK-6240 to our biomarker portfolio. MK-6240 is currently being used in more than sixty academic and industry clinical trials for several Alzheimer’s disease therapeutic candidates being developed by more than sixteen pharmaceutical companies. Most recently, in collaboration with Ratio Therapeutics, we initiated a Phase I study for LNTH-1363S to evaluate the pharmokinetics, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry in adult health volunteers. LNTH-1363S is our novel fibroblast activation protein, alpha targeted, copper-64 labeled PET imaging agent candidate.
In addition, we continue to expand our Microbubble Platform. In December 2022, we announced a strategic collaboration with SonoThera, Inc. (“SonoThera”), which will use our microbubbles in combination with SonoThera’s ultrasound-guided, non-viral, gene therapy platform and treatments. We also have additional collaborations with other partners that are generally designed to include our microbubble as part of a kit used with our partner’s medical device for therapeutic applications. In these collaborations, our microbubble is intended to be used as a vehicle to deliver a therapeutic drug.
•Digital Solutions – Our Digital Solutions are designed to enhance imaging value and the throughput, reproducibility and reliability of image analysis, as well as to inform treatment selection and response to therapy. Our digital solutions include aPROMISE and aBSI (as defined below). aPROMISE, which is currently sold as PYLARIFY AI in the U.S., is artificial intelligence medical device software that is designed to allow healthcare professionals and researchers to perform standardized quantitative assessment of PSMA PET/CT images in prostate cancer, including those images obtained by using
25
PYLARIFY. Automated Bone Scan Index (“aBSI”) automatically calculates the disease burden of prostate cancer by detecting and classifying bone scan tracer uptakes as metastatic or benign lesions using an artificial neural network. aBSI is FDA cleared and CE marked. The software is currently used as one of the correlative objectives of the DORA trial, an open-labeled, randomized, Phase III study of docetaxel versus docetaxel in combination with radium-223 (Ra-223) in subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. We offer our Digital Solutions to HCPs for clinical use and to pharmaceutical companies for development purposes, and in some cases, we also obtain clinical imaging data that we may use to further develop artificial intelligence solutions.
Global Mo-99 Supply
We currently have Mo-99 supply agreements with Institute for Radioelements (“IRE”), running through December 31, 2023, with auto-renewal provisions that are terminable upon notice of non-renewal, and with NTP Radioisotopes (“NTP”), acting for itself and on behalf of its subcontractor, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (“ANSTO”), running through December 31, 2024.
Although we have the most globally diverse Mo-99 supply chain with IRE in Belgium, NTP in South Africa, and ANSTO in Australia, we still face supplier and logistical challenges in our Mo-99 supply chain. When one supplier experiences outages, we generally rely on Mo-99 supply from the other suppliers to limit the impact of the outages. We believe we effectively manage these various supply chain challenges, but depending on reactor and processor schedules and operations, at times we have not been able to fill some or all of the demand for our TechneLite generators on certain manufacturing days. A prolonged disruption of service from one of our three Mo-99 processing sites or one of their main Mo-99-producing reactors could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
To augment our current supply of Mo-99, we have a strategic arrangement with SHINE Medical Technologies LLC (“SHINE”) for the future supply of Mo-99. Under the terms of the supply agreement, entered into in November 2014, SHINE will provide Mo-99 produced using its proprietary LEU-solution technology for use in our TechneLite generators once SHINE’s facility becomes operational and receives all necessary regulatory approvals, which SHINE now estimates will occur in 2024. The term of this arrangement provides for three years of supply of Mo-99. However, we cannot provide assurance that SHINE will be able to produce commercial quantities of Mo-99 for our business, or that SHINE, together with our current suppliers, will be able to deliver a sufficient quantity of Mo-99 to meet our needs.
Inventory Supply
We obtain a substantial portion of our Precision Diagnostics from a third party supplier. Jubilant HollisterStier (“JHS”) is currently a significant supplier of DEFINITY and our sole source manufacturer of select other products. On February 23, 2022, LMI entered into a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (the “MSA”) with JHS, effective as of February 23, 2022, pursuant to which JHS will manufacture, and LMI will purchase, DEFINITY and select other products. The new MSA supersedes all of the prior agreements of the parties. The initial term of the MSA runs through December 31, 2027 and can be further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. The MSA requires LMI to purchase from JHS specified percentages of its total requirements for DEFINITY, as well as specified quantities of select other products, each year during the contract term, except to the extent that LMI has the right to withhold payment for defective product and cancel orders for untimely delivery without penalty. Either party can terminate the MSA upon the occurrence of certain events, including the material breach or bankruptcy of the other party. In addition to JHS, we rely on Samsung BioLogics as our sole source manufacturer of DEFINITY RT.
In 2021, we completed the construction of a specialized in-house manufacturing facility at our North Billerica campus to produce DEFINITY. On February 22, 2022, we received FDA approval of our supplemental new drug application authorizing commercial manufacturing of DEFINITY at our new facility. We believe this facility will allow us to better manage DEFINITY manufacturing and inventory, reduce our costs in a potentially more price competitive environment, and provide us with supply chain redundancy.
Radiopharmaceuticals are decaying radioisotopes with half-lives ranging from a few hours to several days. Radiopharmaceutical finished goods, such as doses of PYLARIFY, AZEDRA and TechneLite generators cannot be kept in inventory because of their limited shelf lives and are subject to just-in-time manufacturing, processing and distribution, which takes place at our facilities in North Billerica, Massachusetts and Somerset, New Jersey, as well as at our PMF partner manufacturing facilities across the U.S.
Research and Development Expenses
To ensure we remain the leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company in our industry, we have historically made and will continue to make substantial investments in new product development and lifecycle management for existing products, including:
•For PYLARIFY, our development of PYLARIFY resulted in approval by the FDA in May 2021.
26
•For PYLARIFY AI, our development of PYLARIFY AI resulted in a 510(k) clearance granted by the FDA in the third quarter of 2021 and an additional 510(k) clearance granted during the second quarter of 2022.
•For PNT2002 and PNT2003, we were granted a license to exclusive worldwide rights (excluding certain countries) for $260.0 million in upfront payments during the fourth quarter of 2022 and will potentially make additional payments as described below.
•For 1095, our PSMA-targeted iodine-131-labeled small molecule product candidate, we enrolled the last patient in our ARROW Phase 2 study during the second quarter of 2022. Patients in this study will be followed for one year after their first treatment for all efficacy endpoints and survival and safety data will be collected for an additional year.
•We are also developing additional lifecycle management opportunities for PYLARIFY, including preparing a clinical study in favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients, and exploring other possibilities beyond prostate cancer.
PNT2002
Under the terms of the PNT2002 License Agreement, Lantheus Two, LLC paid POINT an upfront cash payment of $250.0 million, and could pay up to an additional $281.0 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT2002. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $1.3 billion in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT2002. In addition, after Lantheus Two achieves $500.0 million in cumulative gross profit, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of twenty percent of net sales of PNT2002. Prior to achieving that financial recoupment threshold, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of twenty percent on that portion of annual net sales of PNT2002 that generate annual gross profit in excess of specified levels.
PNT2003
Under the terms of the PNT2003 License Agreement, Lantheus Three, LLC paid POINT an upfront cash payment of $10.0 million, and could pay up to an additional $34.5 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT2003. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $275.0 million in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT2003. In addition, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of fifteen percent of net sales of PNT2003.
Our investments in these additional clinical activities and lifecycle management opportunities will increase our operating expenses and impact our results of operations and cash flow, and we can give no assurances as to whether any of our clinical development candidates or lifecycle management opportunities will be successful.

Comparison of the Periods Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
Revenues
We classify our revenues into three product categories: Radiopharmaceutical Oncology, Precision Diagnostics, and Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue. Radiopharmaceutical Oncology includes PYLARIFY and AZEDRA. Precision Diagnostics includes DEFINITY, TechneLite and other diagnostic imaging products. Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue includes out-licensing arrangements, partnerships that focus on facilitating precision medicine through the use of biomarkers, digital solutions and radiotherapeutic platforms, and on our other products, such as RELISTOR.
Revenues are summarized by product category on a net basis as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily driven by an increase in PYLARIFY, DEFINITY and TechneLite sales volume, as well as revenue generated by Cerveau, as recorded in Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue.
The increase in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily driven by an increase in PYLARIFY and DEFINITY sales volume, as well as revenue generated by Cerveau, as recorded in Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue. The increase is offset, in part, by a decrease in Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue due to the revenue recognized from the Novartis licensing agreement in the prior year.
Rebates and Allowances
Estimates for rebates and allowances represent our estimated obligations under contractual arrangements with customers and other third parties. Rebate accruals and allowances are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction to revenue and the establishment of a liability which is included in accrued expenses. These rebates and allowances result from performance-based offers that are primarily based on attaining contractually specified sales volumes and growth, Medicaid rebate programs for our products, administrative fees of group purchasing organizations and certain distributor related commissions. The calculation of the accrual for these rebates and allowances is based on an estimate of the third-party’s expected purchases and the resulting applicable contractual rebate to be earned over a contractual period.
An analysis of the amount of, and change in, reserves is summarized as follows:
| (in thousands) | Rebates and Allowances | ||||
| Balance, January 1, 2023 | $ | 13,399 | |||
| Provision related to current period revenues | 13,606 | ||||
| Payments or credits made during the period | (15,918) | ||||
| Balance, June 30, 2023 | $ | 11,087 | |||
Gross Profit
The increase in gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to increased PYLARIFY and DEFINITY sales volumes, partially offset by the impairment related to a certain asset group.
29
The increase in gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to the increased PYLARIFY and DEFINITY sales volumes, partially offset by the impairment of the AZEDRA currently marketed intangible asset, the Novartis licensing settlement in the prior year, amortization of Cerveau intangible assets and the impairment related to a certain asset group.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for personnel in field sales, marketing and customer service functions. Other costs in sales and marketing expenses include the development and printing of advertising and promotional material, professional services, market research and sales meetings.
Sales and marketing expenses increased $9.0 million and $21.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by the continued promotion activities of PYLARIFY and increased employee-related costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and other related costs for personnel in executive, finance, legal, information technology and human resource functions. Other costs included in general and administrative expenses are professional fees for information technology services, external legal fees, consulting and accounting services as well as bad debt expense, certain facility and insurance costs, including director and officer liability insurance.
General and administrative expenses decreased $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior period. This was primarily driven by a $16.0 million net reduction for the fair value adjustments to the contingent asset and liabilities in the second quarter of 2023 (refer to Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for further details on contingent consideration liabilities, including CVRs). This decrease is partially offset by increased employee-related costs, professional fees and investment in technology.
General and administrative expenses decreased $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior period. This was primarily driven by a $35.8 million net reduction for the fair value adjustments to the contingent asset and liabilities in the first half of 2023 (refer to Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for further details on contingent consideration liabilities, including CVRs). This decrease is partially offset by increased employee-related costs, professional fees and investment in technology.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses relate primarily to the development of new products to add to our portfolio and costs related to our medical affairs, medical information and regulatory functions.
Research and development expenses increased $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by increased employee-related costs.
Research and development expenses increased $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by the AZEDRA IPR&D asset impairment loss of $15.6 million and higher employee-related costs driven by an increased headcount. These increases were offset, in part, by lower clinical expenses related to our ARROW Phase 2 study.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by approximately $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period due to the issuance of the Notes on December 8, 2022, which was partially offset by the interest rate swap agreements from the prior year.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for each reporting period is presented as follows:
30
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | 18.9% | 28.3% | ||||||||||||
Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the income tax benefit associated with stock compensation deductions, partially offset by state income taxes.
The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to the decrease in non-deductible contingency reserve expense and the increase in our stock compensation deductions.

The primary working capital sources of cash were the timing of payments to large vendors. The primary working capital uses of cash were a decrease to accruals related to the CVR payment, an increase in trade receivables associated primarily with the increase in PYLARIFY revenues, and an increase in inventory related to the timing of batch processes.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $82.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily comprised of net income adjusted for the net effect of non-cash items such as the change in fair value of contingent assets and liabilities of $26.9 million (refer to Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for further details on contingent consideration liabilities, including CVRs). The primary working capital sources of cash were the timing of payments to large vendors. The primary working capital uses of cash were an increase in trade receivables associated primarily with the increase in PYLARIFY revenues as well as the timing of inventory purchases.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to $45.3 million for our asset acquisition of Cerveau and $19.9 million of capital expenditures.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to $7.5 million of capital expenditures offset by cash proceeds of $1.8 million received from the sale of our Puerto Rico subsidiary.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to the payments for minimum statutory tax withholding related to net share settlement of equity awards of $12.6 million and the CVR initial valuation as of June 30, 2020 of $3.7 million offset by proceeds of $3.2 million from stock option exercises.
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to the payments on long-term debt and other borrowings of $5.2 million related to the 2019 Term Facility and payments for minimum statutory tax withholding related to net share settlement of equity awards of $6.3 million offset by proceeds of $6.8 million from stock option exercises.
External Sources of Liquidity
In December 2022, we voluntarily repaid our 2019 $200.0 million five-year term loan facility. In addition, we replaced our $200.0 million revolving facility with the 2022 Revolving Facility. The terms of the 2022 Revolving Facility are set forth in the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2022, by and among us, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “2022 Credit Agreement”). We have the right to request an increase to the 2022 Revolver Facility or request the establishment of one or more new incremental term loan facilities, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $335 million or consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended, plus additional amounts, in certain circumstances.
Under the terms of the 2022 Revolving Facility, the lenders thereunder agreed to extend credit to us from time to time until December 2, 2027 consisting of revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $350.0 million at any time. The 2022 Revolving Facility includes a $20.0 million sub-facility for the issuance of Letters of Credit. The 2022 Revolving Facility includes a
32
$10.0 million sub-facility for Swingline Loans. The Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and the borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Facility are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Please refer to Note 13, “Long-Term Debt, Net, and Other Borrowings” for further details on the 2022 Facility.
As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under the 2022 Credit Agreement.
On December 8, 2022, we issued $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, which includes $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Notes. The Notes were issued under the Indenture. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $557.8 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and offering expenses payable by us.
Our ability to fund our future capital needs will be affected by our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and may be affected by our ability to access the capital markets, money markets or other sources of funding, as well as the capacity and terms of our financing arrangements.
We may from time to time repurchase or otherwise retire our debt and take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our balance sheet. These actions may include prepayments of our term loans or other retirements or refinancing of outstanding debt, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amount of debt that may be retired, if any, could be material and would be decided at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on market conditions, our cash position and other considerations.
Funding Requirements
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
•The level of product sales and the pricing environment of our currently marketed products, particularly PYLARIFY and DEFINITY, as well as any additional products that we may market in the future;
•Revenue mix shifts and associated volume and selling price changes that could result from additional competition or changes in customers’ product demand;
•The continued costs of the ongoing commercialization of PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY AI;
•Our investment in the further clinical development and commercialization of products and development candidates, including PNT2002, PNT2003, 1095 and MK-6240;
•The costs of acquiring or in-licensing, developing, obtaining regulatory approval for, and commercializing, new products, businesses or technologies, including any potential related milestone or royalty payments, together with the costs of pursuing opportunities that are not eventually consummated;
•The costs of investing in our facilities, equipment and technology infrastructure;
•The costs and timing of establishing or amending manufacturing and supply arrangements for commercial supplies of our products and raw materials and components;
•Our ability to have products manufactured and released from manufacturing sites in a timely manner in the future, or to manufacture products at our in-house manufacturing facilities in amounts sufficient to meet our supply needs;
•The costs of further commercialization of our existing products, particularly in international markets, including product marketing, sales and distribution and whether we obtain local partners to help share such commercialization costs;
•The legal costs relating to maintaining, expanding and enforcing our intellectual property portfolio, pursuing insurance or other claims and defending against product liability, regulatory compliance, intellectual property or other claims;
•The cost of interest on any additional borrowings which we may incur under our financing arrangements; and
•The impact of sustained inflation on our costs of goods sold and operating expenses.
Disruption in our financial performance could occur if we experience significant adverse changes in product or customer mix, broad economic downturns, sustained inflation, adverse industry or company conditions or catastrophic external events, including pandemics such as COVID-19, natural disasters and political or military conflict. If we experience one or more of these events in the future, we may be required to further implement expense reductions, such as a delay or elimination of discretionary spending in all functional areas, as well as scaling back select operating and strategic initiatives.
33
If our capital resources become insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we would need to finance our cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, assets securitizations, sale-leasebacks or other financing or strategic alternatives, to the extent such transactions are permissible under the covenants of our 2022 Credit Agreement. Additional equity or debt financing, or other transactions, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If any of these transactions require an amendment or waiver under the covenants in our 2022 Credit Agreement, which could result in additional expenses associated with obtaining the amendment or waiver, we will seek to obtain such a waiver to remain in compliance with those covenants. However, we cannot provide assurance that such an amendment or waiver would be granted, or that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
At June 30, 2023, our only current committed external source of funds is our borrowing availability under our 2022 Revolving Facility. We had $414.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023. Our 2022 Revolving Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative, reporting and financial covenants, in each case subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds. Incremental borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Facility may affect our ability to comply with the covenants including the financial covenants restricting consolidated net leverage and interest coverage. Accordingly, we may be limited in utilizing the full amount of our 2022 Revolving Facility as a source of liquidity.
Based on our current operating plans, we believe our balance of cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $414.1 million as of June 30, 2023, along with cash generated by ongoing operations and continued access to our 2022 Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over the next twelve months and beyond.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and other financial information. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. In addition, our reported financial condition and results of operations could vary due to a change in the application of a particular accounting standard.
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in such policies in the six months ended June 30, 2023. For further information, refer to our summary of significant accounting policies and estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are required to provide the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection financial assurance demonstrating our ability to fund the decommissioning of our North Billerica, Massachusetts and Somerset, New Jersey production facilities, respectively, upon closure. We have provided this financial assurance in the form of a $30.3 million surety bond.
Since inception, we have not engaged in any other off-balance sheet arrangements, including structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

Repurchases
The following table presents information with respect to purchases of common stock we made during the three months ended June 30, 2023. In December 2022, in connection with the issuance of the Notes, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million in aggregate amount of our common stock under certain circumstances, of which $75.0 million were repurchased prior to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, adopted by us on June 24, 2015, as amended on April 26, 2016 and as further amended on April 27, 2017, April 24, 2019, April 28, 2021 and April 28, 2022 (the “2015 Plan”), provides for the withholding of shares to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations. It does not specify a maximum number of shares that can be withheld for this purpose. The shares of common stock withheld to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item 2.
