1. Business Overview

Overview

Holdings, a Delaware corporation, is the parent company of LMI, also a Delaware corporation. Holdings was formed for the purpose of acquiring the medical imaging business of Bristol-Myers Squibb, or BMS, which is now known as LMI.

The Company develops, manufactures, sells and distributes innovative diagnostic medical imaging agents and products that assist clinicians in the diagnosis of cardiovascular and other diseases. The Company’s commercial products are used by cardiologists, nuclear physicians, radiologists, internal medicine physicians, technologists and sonographers working in a variety of clinical settings. The Company sells its products to radiopharmacies, hospitals, clinics, group practices, integrated delivery networks, group purchasing organizations and, in certain circumstances, wholesalers. The Company sells its products globally and has operations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and Australia and distribution relationships in Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

The Company’s portfolio of 10 commercial products is diversified across a range of imaging modalities. The Company’s imaging agents include contrast agents and medical radiopharmaceuticals (including technetium generators), including the following:

 

DEFINITY is the leading ultrasound contrast imaging agent used by cardiologists and sonographers during cardiac ultrasound, or echocardiography, exams based on revenue and usage. DEFINITY is an injectable agent that, in the United States, is indicated for use in patients with suboptimal echocardiograms to assist in the visualization of the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart. The use of DEFINITY in echocardiography allows physicians to significantly improve their assessment of the function of the left ventricle.

 

TechneLite is a self-contained system, or generator, of technetium (Tc99m), a radioisotope with a six hour half-life, used by radiopharmacies to prepare various nuclear imaging agents.

 

Xenon Xe 133 Gas, or Xenon, is a radiopharmaceutical gas that is inhaled and used to assess pulmonary function and also cerebral blood flow.

 

Cardiolite is an injectable, technetium-labeled imaging agent, also known by its generic name sestamibi, used with Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, or SPECT, technology in myocardial perfusion imaging, or MPI, procedures that assess blood flow distribution to the heart.

 

Neurolite is an injectable, technetium-labeled imaging agent used with SPECT technology to identify the area within the brain where blood flow has been blocked or reduced due to stroke.

In the United States, the Company sells DEFINITY through its sales team that calls on healthcare providers in the echocardiography space, as well as group purchasing organizations and integrated delivery networks. The Company’s radiopharmaceutical products are primarily distributed through commercial radiopharmacies owned or controlled by third parties. In Canada, Puerto Rico and Australia, the Company owns eightseven radiopharmacies and sells its own radiopharmaceuticals, as well as others, directly to end users. In Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America, the Company utilizes distributor relationships to market, sell and distribute its products.

Basis of Consolidation and Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in United States dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. The information included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s Prospectus dated June 24, 2015 and filed with the SEC on June 26, 2015, or the Prospectus. The Company’s accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Prospectus and updated, as necessary, in this quarterly report. There were no changes to the Company’s accounting policies since December 31, 2014 except that the Company has adopted a new accounting policy as discussed further below. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

Recent Events

On June 25, 2015, in conjunction with its initial public offering, or IPO, the Company effected a corporate reorganization, whereby Lantheus MI Intermediate, Inc. (formerly the direct parent of LMI and the direct subsidiary of Holdings) was merged with and into Holdings, or the Merger.

On June 30, 2015, the Company completed an IPO of its common stock at a price to the public of $6.00 per share. The Company’s common stock is now traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol “LNTH”. The Company issued and sold 12,256,577 shares of common stock in the IPO, including 1,423,243 shares that were offered and sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise in full of its overallotment option. The IPO raisedresulted in proceeds to the Company of approximately $67.2 million, after deducting $6.4 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and related expenses.

On June 30, 2015, the Company also entered into a $365.0 million senior secured term loan facility, or the Term Facility. The net proceeds of the Term Facility, together with the net proceeds from the IPO and the cash use of $10.9 million were used to repay in full the aggregate principal amount of LMI’s $400.0 million 9.750% Senior Notes due 2017, or the Notes, pay related premiums, interest and expenses and pay down the $8.0 million of outstanding borrowings under LMI’s $50.0 million revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Facility.

The Company currently relies on Jubilant HollisterStier, or JHS, as its sole source manufacturer of DEFINITY, Neurolite and evacuation vials for TechneLite. The Company has additional ongoing technology transfer activities at JHS for its Cardiolite product supply, which is currently manufactured by a single manufacturer. In addition, the Company has ongoing technology transfer activities at Pharmalucence for the manufacture and supply of DEFINITY, and the Company believes it will file for U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approval to manufacture DEFINITY at Pharmalucence in 2015.2016.

The Company has historically been dependent on key customers and group purchasing organizations for the majority of the sales of its medical imaging products. The Company’s ability to maintain and profitably renew these contracts and relationships with these key customers and group purchasing organizations is an important aspect of the Company’s strategy. The Company’s written supply agreements with a major customer relating to TechneLite, Xenon, Neurolite, Cardiolite and certain other products expired in accordance with contract terms on December 31, 2014. Extended discussions with this customer have not yet resulted in new written supply agreements. Consequently, the Company is currently accepting and fulfilling product orders with this customer on a purchase order basis.

Until the Company successfully becomes dual sourced for its principal products, the Company is vulnerable to future supply shortages. Disruption in the financial performance of the Company could also occur if it experiences significant adverse changes in customer mix, broad economic downturns, adverse industry or Company conditions or catastrophic external events. If the Company experiences one or more of these events in the future, it may be required to implement additional 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.

During 2013 and 2014, the Company has utilized its revolving line of credit as a source of liquidity from time to time. Borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility is calculated by reference to a borrowing base consisting of a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment minus any reserves, or the Borrowing Base. If the Company is not successful in achieving its forecasted operating results, the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory could be negatively affected, thus reducing the Borrowing Base and limiting the Company’s borrowing capacity. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the aggregate Borrowing Base was approximately $38.8$46.2 million, which was reduced by the $8.8 million unfunded Standby Letter of Credit and $0.1

million in accrued interest, resulting in a net Borrowing Base availability of approximately $29.9$37.3 million. The Company’s new Term 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 revolving line of credit may affect the Company’s ability to comply with the covenants in the Term Facility, including the financial covenant restricting total net leverage, accordingly,leverage. Accordingly, the Company may be limited in utilizing its net Borrowing Base availability as a source of liquidity.

Based on the Company’s current operating plans, the Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, results of operations and availability under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to continue to fund the Company’s liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include certain judgments regarding revenue recognition, goodwill, tangible and intangible asset valuation, inventory valuation, asset retirement obligations, income tax liabilities and related indemnification receivable, deferred tax assets and liabilities, accrued expenses and stock-based compensation. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Stock Split

In conjunction with the Merger, the Company effected a 0.355872-for-1 reverse stock split for its common stock. Upon consummation of the Merger, the par value of the common stock changed from $0.001 to $0.01. Accordingly, all references to share and per share information in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split and new par value for all periods presented.

Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest—Interest—Imputation of Interest (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” or ASU 2015-03. Under the new ASU, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. As a result, the Company’s balance sheet will reflect a reclassification of unamortized debt issuance costs from other long-term assets to long-term debt, net. ASU 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective as of June 30, 2015 and applied the changes retrospectively to the prior periods presented. Adoption of this standard has resulted in the reclassification of $6.4 million from other long-term assets to long-term debt, net on the balance sheet at December 31, 2014. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $5.9$5.7 million are recorded as a reduction to long-term debt, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at JuneSeptember 30, 2015.

In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line of Credit Arrangements,” or ASU 2015-15. ASU 2015-15 indicates that the guidance in ASU 2015-03 did not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03, the SEC staff has indicated that they would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line of credit arrangement. The adoption of ASU 2015-15 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, title has passed, the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, the selling price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For transactions for which revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met, the respective amounts are recorded as deferred revenue until such point in time the criteria are met and revenue can be recognized. Revenue is recognized net of reserves, which consist of allowances for returns and rebates.

Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the customer. The arrangement’s consideration is then allocated to each

separate unit of accounting based on the relative selling price of each deliverable. The estimated selling price of each deliverable is determined using the following hierarchy of values: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value; (ii) third-party evidence of

selling price; and (iii) best estimate of selling price. The best estimate of selling price reflects the Company’s best estimate of what the selling price would be if the deliverable was regularly sold by the Company on a stand-alone basis. The consideration allocated to each unit of accounting is then recognized as the related goods or services are delivered, limited to the consideration that is not contingent upon future deliverables. Supply or service transactions may involve the charge of a nonrefundable initial fee with subsequent periodic payments for future products or services. The up-front fees, even if nonrefundable, are recognized as revenue as the products and/or services are delivered and performed over the term of the arrangement.

Inventory

Inventory costs associated with product that has not yet received regulatory approval are capitalized if the Company believes there is probable future commercial use of the product and future economic benefits of the asset. If future commercial use of the product is not probable, then inventory costs associated with such product are expensed during the period the costs are incurred. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, the Company expensed $1.3$1.7 million of such product costs in cost of goods sold relating to Neurolite that was manufactured by JHS. There was no significant product expensed for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015. At JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no capitalized inventories associated with product that did not have regulatory approval.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that it may be impaired. The Company has elected to perform the annual test for goodwill impairment as of October 31 of each year. There were no events as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 that triggered an interim impairment test of goodwill.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The tables below present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points from active markets that are observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points for the asset or liability.

At both JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has a $0.1 million certificate of deposit which is collateral for a long-term lease and is included in other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as these are not traded on the open market.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2015, after giving effect to the closing of the IPO and the Term Facility, the repayment in full of the aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million Notes together with related premiums, interest and expenses and the pay down of $8.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Facility, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $22.2$21.9 million, which included

approximately $1.6$1.7 million of money market funds and $20.6$20.2 million of cash on-hand. At December 31, 2014, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $19.7 million, which included approximately $2.7 million of money market funds and $17.0 million of cash on-hand.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, including its cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying values of these instruments due to their short term nature. The estimated fair value of the Company’s Term Facility at JuneSeptember 30, 2015, approximated itsapproximates carrying value asbecause the Company entered into the Term Facility at June 30, 2015.interest rate is subject to change with market interest rates. At December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Senior Notes based on Level 2 inputs of recent market activity available to the Company was $384.0 million compared to the face value of $400.0 million.

4. Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year in addition to discrete events which impact the interim period. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate principally due to the rate impact of uncertain tax positions, valuation allowance changes and state taxes. Cumulative adjustments to the tax provision are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined. The Company’s tax provision was $1.2$0.7 million and $1.9 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, respectively, compared to a tax provisionbenefit of $0.9$0.1 million and a benefit of $0.3$0.4 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, respectively.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the medical imaging business from Bristol-Myers Squibb, Company, or BMS, in 2008, the Company obtained a tax indemnification agreement with BMS related to certain tax obligations arising prior to the acquisition of the Company, for which the Company has the primary legal obligation. The tax indemnification receivable is recognized within other long-term assets. The changes in the tax indemnification asset are recognized within other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the change in the tax liability and penalties and interest associated with these obligations (net of any offsetting federal or state benefit) is recognized within the tax provision. Accordingly, as these reserves change, adjustments are included in the tax provision while the offsetting adjustment is included in other expense, net. Assuming that the receivable from BMS continues to be considered recoverable by the Company, there is no net effect on earnings related to these liabilities and no net cash outflows.

On March 13, 2014, New York State, BMS, the Company and a relator entered into a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement and other related agreements, or collectively the Settlement Documents, to resolve an investigation by the Office of the Attorney General of New York State, claims relating to certain New York State and New York City tax matters and related claims under the New York False Claims Act. The claims at issue arose during the period from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2006, which predated the acquisition of the medical imaging business from BMS in January 2008 and are subject to the tax indemnification agreement described above. Pursuant to the Settlement Documents, BMS paid (on behalf of itself and the Company) $6.3 million, and neither BMS nor the Company admitted any liability. The Company received a full release from New York State, New York City and the relator with respect to the claims at issue.

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, BMS, on behalf of the Company, made payments totaling $1.9 million to a number of states in connection with state income tax settlements. Within the next twelve months, unrecognized tax benefits of $0.1 million may be recognized associated with transfer pricing due to the closing of the statute of limitations.

5. Inventory

The Company includes within current assets the amount of inventory that is estimated to be utilized within twelve months. Inventory that will be utilized after twelve months is classified within other long-term assets.

Inventory, classified in inventory or other long-term assets, consisted of the following:

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, depreciation expense related to property, plant and equipment was $2.0$1.9 million and $7.7$9.6 million, respectively, as compared to $2.1$2.2 million and $4.4$6.5 million for the prior year comparative periods.

Included within machinery, equipment and fixtures are spare parts of approximately $2.4 million and $2.5 million at both JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.2014, respectively. Spare parts include replacement parts relating to plant and equipment and are either recognized as an expense when consumed or re-classified and capitalized as part of the related plant and equipment and depreciated over a time period not exceeding the useful life of the related asset.

Fixed assets dedicated to research and development, or R&D, activities, which were impacted by the March 2013 R&D strategic shift, have a carrying value of $4.8$4.6 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015. The Company believes these fixed assets will be utilized for either internally funded ongoing R&D activities or R&D activities funded by a strategic partner. If the Company is not successful in finding a strategic partner and there are no alternative uses for these fixed assets, then they could be subject to impairment in the future.

Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of Other than by Sale

In November 2014, the Company announced its plans to decommission certain long-lived assets associated with its R&D operations in the United States. The Company expected the decommissioning to begin in the second half of 2015. As a result, the Company revised its estimates of the remaining useful lives of the affected long-lived assets to seven months.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company halted its decommissioning plans until an indefinite date. As a result, the Company revised its estimates of the remaining useful lives of the affected long-lived assets back to its original remaining useful life effective April 1, 2015. This resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $3.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015, and is included in R&D expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the net book value of these assets totaled $3.7$4.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

7. Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company considers the legal obligation to remediate its facilities upon a decommissioning of its radioactive related operations as an asset retirement obligation. The operations of the Company have radioactive production facilities at its North Billerica, Massachusetts and San Juan, Puerto Rico sites.

The Company is required to provide the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Massachusetts Department of Public Health financial assurance demonstrating the Company’s ability to fund the decommissioning of the North Billerica, Massachusetts production facility upon closure, although the Company does not intend to close the facility. The Company has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $28.2 million surety bond, which itself is currently secured by an $8.8 million unfunded Standby Letter of Credit provided to the third party issuer of the bond.

The fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations is recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the liability is measured at the present value of the obligation expected to be incurred, of approximately $26.0 million, and is adjusted in subsequent periods as accretion expense is recorded. The corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the related long-lived assets and depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015:

10. Financing Arrangements

Term Facility

On June 30, 2015, the CompanyLMI entered into a new $365.0 million seven-year Term Facility, which was issued net of a 1.25% discount of $4.6 million. The CompanyLMI has a right to request an increase of the Term Facility in an aggregate amount up to $37.5 million plus additional amounts subject to certain leverage ratios. The net proceeds of the Term Facility, together with the net proceeds of the IPO and cash on hand, were used to refinance in full the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and pay related premiums, interest and expenses.

The term loans under the Term Facility bear interest, with pricing based from time to time at the Company’sLMI’s election at (i) LIBOR plus a spread of 6.00% (with a LIBOR rate floor of 1.00%) or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in our Term Facility) plus a spread of 5.00%. Interest under term loans based on (i) the LIBOR rate is payable at the end of each interest period (as defined in our Term Facility) and (ii) the Base Rate is payable at the end of each quarter.

The CompanyLMI is permitted to voluntarily prepay the Term Facility, in whole or in part, with a premium applicable for the first six months of the Term Facility in connection with a repricing transaction. The CompanyLMI is required to make quarterly payments, beginningwhich began on September 30, 2015, in an amount equal to a quarter of a percent (0.25%) per annum of the original principal amount of the Term Facility. The remaining unpaid principal amount of the Term Facility will be payable on the maturity date, or June 30, 2022.

The Term Facility will require the CompanyLMI to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:

 

100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course sales or other dispositions of assets (including as a result of casualty or condemnation, subject to certain exceptions); the Company may reinvest or commit to reinvest certain of those proceeds in assets useful in our business within twelve months;

 

100% of the net cash proceeds from issuances or incurrence of debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted under the Term Facility and Revolving Facility;

 

50% (with two leverage-based stepdowns) of the Company’s excess cash flow; and

 

50% of net payments from the Zurich insurance settlement (as defined therein).

The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied to the scheduled installments of principal of the Term Facility in direct order of maturity.

The Term Facility is guaranteed by the Company and Lantheus Real Estate, and obligations under the Term Facility are secured by substantially all the property and assets and all interests of the Company.Company, LMI and Lantheus Real Estate.

Term Facility Covenants

The Term Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative, reporting and financial covenants, in each case subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds. The Term Facility requires the Company to be in quarterly compliance, measured on a trailing four quarter basis. The financial covenants are displayed in the table below:

Q1 2017 to Q2 2017

   5.50 to 1.00  

Thereafter

   5.00 to 1.00  

The Term 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.

Financing Costs

LMI incurred and capitalized approximately $5.9 million in debt issuance costs, consisting primarily of underwriting fees and expenses and legal fees in connection with the issuance of the Term Facility. Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Term Facility are recorded as a reduction to long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the Term Facility, as appropriate, using the effective interest method and are included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On June 30, 2015, LMI amended its existing Revolving Facility upon the closing of the Term Facility. The amendment extended the expiration date on the Revolving Facility and further modified certain definitions. In connection with the June 30, 2015 amendment, LMI incurred approximately $0.4 million in fees and expenses, which is included in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These fees are being amortized over the remaining life of the Revolving Facility using the straight-line method and are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Senior Notes

LMI had $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding. The interest on the Notes was at a rate of 9.750% per year, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The net proceeds of the Term Facility, together with the net proceeds of the IPO and cash on hand, were used to refinance in full the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and pay related premiums, interest and expenses. The Company satisfied and discharged its obligations under the Notes as of June 30, 2015. The notes and accrued interest were redeemed in full on July 30, 2015.

The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $15.5 million, which included a redemption premium of $9.7 million and a $5.8 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Senior Notes. As ofOn June 30, 2015, the Company also paid the accrued interest to the redemption date totaling $3.3 million, which is included in interest expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2015 on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Revolving Line of Credit

At JuneSeptember 30, 2015, LMI has a Revolving Facility with an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million. The loans under the Revolving Facility bear interest subject to a pricing grid based on average historical excess availability, with pricing based from time to time at the election of LMI at (i) LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 2.00% or (ii) the Reference Rate (as defined in the agreement) plus 1.00%. The Revolving Facility also includes an unused line fee of 0.375% and expires on June 30, 2020.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, LMI has an unfunded Standby Letter of Credit for up to $8.8 million. The unfunded Standby Letter of Credit requires an annual fee, payable quarterly, which is set at LIBOR plus a spread of 2.00% and expires on February 5, 2016, which will automatically renew for a one year period at each anniversary date, unless LMI elects not to renew in writing within 60 days prior to that expiration.

The Revolving Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative, reporting and financial covenants, as well as a financial covenant during trigger periods in the form of a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:00:1:00. Upon an event of default, the lender has the right to declare the loans and other obligations outstanding immediately due and payable and all commitments immediately terminated or reduced, and the lender may, after such events of default, require LMI to make deposits with respect to any outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to 105% of the greatest amount for which such letter of credit may be drawn.

The Revolving Facility is guaranteed by Holdings and Lantheus Real Estate and is secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of each of the loan parties including accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment. Borrowing capacity is determined by reference to a Borrowing Base, which is based on a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment minus any reserves. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the aggregate Borrowing Base was approximately $38.8$46.2 million, which was reduced by an outstanding $8.8 million unfunded Standby Letter of Credit and $0.1 million in accrued interest, resulting in a net Borrowing Base availability of approximately $29.9$37.3 million.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the authorized capital stock of the Company consisted of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The common stockholders are entitled to one vote per share and will share equally on a per share basis in any dividend declared by the Board of Directors, subject to any preferential rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock.

12. Stock-Based Compensation

As of June 24, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2015 Plan.

The Company’s employees are eligible to receive awards under the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and permits the granting of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units and dividend equivalent rights (“DERs”) to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. The Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, grant DERs with respect to any award and such DER is treated as a separate award. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan is 2,190,320. Option awards under the 2015 Plan are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Time based option awards vest based on time, typically four years, and performance based option awards vest based on the performance criteria specified in the grant. All option awards have a ten-year contractual term. The Company recognizes compensation costs for its time based awards on a straight-line basis equal to the vesting period. The compensation cost for performance based awards is recognized on a graded vesting basis, based on the probability of achieving the performance targets over the requisite service period for the entire award. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historic volatility of a selected peer group. Expected dividends represent the dividends expected to be issued at the date of grant. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate assumption is the U.S. Treasury rate at the date of the grant which most closely resembles the expected life of the options.

The Company uses the following Black-Scholes inputs to determine the fair value of new stock option grants.

13. Net LossIncome (Loss) Per Share

Basic lossincome (loss) per share is computed by dividing net lossincome (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the potential dilutive effect of other securities if those securities were converted or exercised. During periods in which the Company incurs net losses, both basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation because their effect would be antidilutive.

15. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

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 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. 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. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the Company had no material ongoing litigation in which the Company was a defendant or any material ongoing regulatory or other proceedings and had no knowledge of any investigations by government or regulatory authorities in which the Company is a target that could have a material adverse effect on its current business.

On December 16, 2010, LMI filed suit against one of its insurance carriers seeking to recover business interruption losses associated with the NRU reactor shutdown and the ensuing global Moly supply shortage. The claim is the result of the shutdown of the NRU reactor in Chalk River, Ontario. The NRU reactor was off-line from May 2009 until August 2010. The defendant answered the complaint on January 21, 2011, denying substantially all of the allegations, presenting certain defenses and requesting dismissal of the case with costs and disbursements. Discovery, including international discovery and related motion practice, went on for more than three years. The defendant filed a motion for summary judgment on July 14, 2014. The Company filed a memorandum of law in opposition to defendant’s motion for summary judgment on August 25, 2014. The defendant filed a reply memorandum of law in further support of its motion for summary judgment on September 15, 2014. Expert witness discovery was completed on October 31, 2014. On March 25, 2015, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment. On May 22,September 4, 2015, the Company filed a notice ofan appeal of the District Court decision with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company cannot be certain when, if ever, it will be able to recover for business interruption losses related to this matter and in what amount, if any.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and industry estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements identify prospective information and include words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “should,” “could,” “predicts,” “targets,” “hopes” and similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding: (i) our outlook and expectations including, without limitation, in connection with continued market expansion and penetration for our commercial products, particularly DEFINITY in the face of increased competition; (ii) our outlook and expectations in connection with future performance of Xenon in the face of potential increased competition; (iii) our outlook and expectations related to products manufactured at JHS and Pharmalucence and global isotope supply; (iii)(iv) our outlook and expectations related to our intention to seek to engage strategic partners to assist in developing and potentially commercializing development candidates; and (iv)(v) our liquidity, including our belief that our existing cash, cash equivalents, anticipated revenues and availability under our revolving credit facility, or Revolving Facility, are sufficient to fund our existing operating expenses, capital expenditures and liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. The matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus may not in fact occur. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and the following:

risks associated with supply and demand for Xenon;

our ability to compete effectively, including in connection with pricing pressures and new market entrants;

 

the dependence of certain of our customers upon third party healthcare payors and the uncertainty of third party coverage and reimbursement rates;

 

uncertainties regarding the impact of U.S. healthcare reform on our business, including related reimbursements for our current and potential future products;

 

our being subject to extensive government regulation and our potential inability to comply with those regulations;

 

potential liability associated with our marketing and sales practices;

 

the occurrence of any side effects with our products;

 

our exposure to potential product liability claims and environmental liability;

 

risks associated with our lead agent in development, flurpiridaz F 18, including our ability to:

 

attract strategic partners to successfully complete the Phase 3 clinical program and possibly commercialize the agent;

 

obtain FDA approval; and

gain post-approval market acceptance and adequate reimbursement;

risks associated with being able to negotiate in a timely manner relationships with potential strategic partners to advance our other development programs on acceptable terms, or at all;

 

the extensive costs, time and uncertainty associated with new product development, including further product development relying on external development partners;

 

our inability to introduce new products and adapt to an evolving technology and diagnostic landscape;

 

our inability to protect our intellectual property and the risk of claims that we have infringed on the intellectual property of others;

 

risks associated with prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors beyond our control;

 

risks associated with our international operations;

 

our inability to adequately protect our facilities, equipment and technology infrastructure;

 

our inability to hire or retain skilled employees and key personnel;

 

risks related to our outstanding indebtedness and our ability to satisfy those obligations; and

 

costs and other risks associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act risks related to the ownership of our common stock.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those that are discussed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this quarterly report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the other factors described in “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus.

Overview

We are a global leader in developing, manufacturing, selling and distributing innovative diagnostic medical imaging agents and products that assist clinicians in the diagnosis of cardiovascular and other diseases. Our agents are routinely used to diagnose coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, peripheral vascular disease and other diseases. Clinicians use our imaging agents and products across a range of imaging modalities, including echocardiography, nuclear imaging and MRI. We believe that the resulting improved diagnostic information enables healthcare providers to better detect and characterize, or rule out, disease, potentially achieving improved patient outcomes, reducing patient risk and limiting overall costs for payers and the entire healthcare system.

Our commercial products are used by cardiologists, nuclear physicians, radiologists, internal medicine physicians, technologists and sonographers working in a variety of clinical settings. We sell our products to hospitals, clinics, group practices, integrated delivery networks, group purchasing organizations, radiopharmacies, and, in certain circumstances, wholesalers.

We sell our products globally and have operations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and Australia and distribution relationships in Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

Our Products

Our principal products include the following:

DEFINITY is an ultrasound contrast agent used in ultrasound exams of the heart, also known as echocardiography exams. DEFINITY contains perflutren-containing lipid microspheres and is indicated in the United States for use in patients with suboptimal echocardiograms to assist in imaging the left ventricular chamber and left endocardial border of the heart in ultrasound procedures. We launched DEFINITY in 2001, and its last patent in the United States will currently expire in 2021 and in numerous foreign jurisdictions in 2019. We also have an active next generation development program for this agent.

TechneLite is a technetium generator which provides the essential nuclear material used by radiopharmacies to radiolabel Cardiolite, Neurolite and other technetium-based radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine procedures. TechneLite uses Moly as its main active ingredient.

Xenon is a radiopharmaceutical gas that is inhaled and used to assess pulmonary function and also cerebral blood flow. Xenon is manufactured by a third party and packaged by us.

Sales of our contrast agent, DEFINITY, are made in the United States and Canada through our sales team of approximately 80 employees. In the United States, our nuclear imaging products, including TechneLite, Xenon, Cardiolite and Neurolite, are primarily distributed through commercial radiopharmacies, the majority of which are controlled by or associated with Cardinal, UPPI, GE Healthcare and Triad. A small portion of our nuclear imaging product sales in the United States are made through our direct sales force to hospitals and clinics that maintain their own in-house radiopharmaceutical capabilities. Outside the United States, we own four radiopharmacies in Canada and two radiopharmacies in each ofAustralia and one in Puerto Rico and Australia.Rico. In Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America, we rely on third party distributors to market, sell and distribute our nuclear imaging and contrast agent products, either on a country-by-country basis or on a multicountry regional basis.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results

Our business and financial performance have been, and continue to be, affected by the following:

Growth of DEFINITY

We believe the market opportunity for our contrast agent, DEFINITY, remains significant. DEFINITY is currently our fastest growing and highest margin commercial product. We believe that DEFINITY sales will continue to grow and that DEFINITY will constitute a greater share of our overall product mix. As a result of DEFINITY’s continued growth, we believe that our gross profit will increase, and our gross margin will continue to expand. As we better educate the physician and healthcare provider community about the benefits and risks of this product, we believe we will experience further penetration of suboptimal echocardiograms.

Prior to the supply issues with Ben Venue Laboratories, or BVL, in 2012, sales of DEFINITY continually increased year-over-year since June 2008, when the boxed warning on DEFINITY was modified. Unit sales of DEFINITY had decreased substantially in late 2007 and early 2008 as a result of an FDA request in October 2007 that we and GE Healthcare, which distributes Optison, a competitor to DEFINITY, add a boxed warning to their products to notify physicians and patients about potentially serious safety concerns or risks posed by the products. However, in May 2008, the FDA boxed warning was modified in response to the substantial advocacy efforts of prescribing physicians. In October 2011, we received FDA approval of further favorable modifications to the DEFINITY label, including: further relaxing the boxed warning; eliminating the sentence in the Indication and Use section “The safety and efficacy of DEFINITY with exercise stress or pharmacologic stress testing have not been established” (previously added in October 2007 in connection with the imposition of the box warning); and including summary data from the post-approval CaRES (Contrast echocardiography Registry for Safety Surveillance) safety registry and the post-approval pulmonary hypertension study. Bracco’s newly approved ultrasound contrast agent, Lumason, has substantially similar safety labeling as DEFINITY.DEFINITY and Optison. The future growth of our DEFINITY sales will be dependent on our ability to continue to increase segment penetration for DEFINITY in suboptimal echocardiograms and, as discussed below in “—Inventory Supply,” on the ability of JHS, and, if approved Pharmalucence, to continue to manufacture and release DEFINITY on a timely and consistent basis. See “Prospectus—Risk Factors—The growth of our business is substantially dependent on increased market penetration for the appropriate use of DEFINITY in suboptimal echocardiograms.”

There are three echocardiography contrast agents approved by the FDA for sale in the U.S.—DEFINITY which as of December 2014 had an approximately 78% segment share, Optison, and Lumason approved by the FDA in October 2014. Lumason is known as SonoVue outside of the U.S. and is already approved for sale in Europe and certain Asian markets, including China, Japan and Korea. While we believe that additional promotion in the U.S. echocardiography segment will help raise awareness around the value that

echocardiography contrast brings and potentially increase the overall contrast penetration rate, if Bracco successfully commercializes Lumason in the U.S. without otherwise increasing the overall usage of ultrasound contrast agents, our own growth expectations for DEFINITY revenue, gross profit and gross margin may have to be adjusted.

Competition for Xenon

Xenon (Xe 133) gas for lung ventilation diagnosis is our third largest product by revenue. Historically, several companies sold packaged Xenon as a pulmonary imaging agent in the U.S., but since 2010 we have been the only supplier of this imaging agent in the U.S. We understand that a radiopharmaceutical manufacturer is now seeking regulatory approval from the FDA to sell packaged Xenon in the U.S. If that manufacturer receives FDA approval and begins to sell packaged Xenon in the U.S., depending upon the pricing, extent of availability and market penetration of the new offering, we believe we could experience substantial volume loss and price erosion with existing Xenon customers who are not subject to price or volume commitments, such as Cardinal Health, historically our largest Xenon customer. Although we intend to compete vigorously in the market for this important imaging agent, we believe that these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. See “Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors —We face potential supply and demand challenges for Xenon.”

Inventory Supply

Our products consist of contrast imaging agents and radiopharmaceuticals (including technetium generators). We obtain a substantial portion of our imaging agents from third party suppliers. JHS is currently our sole source manufacturer of DEFINITY and Neurolite and we have ongoing technology transfer activities at JHS for our Cardiolite product supply. In the meantime, our Cardiolite product supply is manufactured by a single manufacturer. Until JHS is approved by certain foreign regulatory authorities to manufacture certain of our products, we will face continued limitations on where we can sell those products outside of the United States.

In addition to JHS, we are also currently working to secure additional alternative suppliers for our key products as part of our ongoing supply chain diversification strategy. On November 12, 2013, we entered into a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with Pharmalucence to manufacture and supply DEFINITY. We currently target filing for FDA approval to manufacture DEFINITY at Pharmalucence in 2015.2016. For the balance of 2015, we currently anticipate higher levels of technology transfer costs, which are period expenses associated with our various manufacturing initiatives, as our contract manufacturer-related activities intensity.intensify.

Radiopharmaceuticals are decaying radioisotopes with half-lives ranging from a few hours to several days. These products cannot be kept in inventory because of their limited useful lives and are subject to just-in- time manufacturing, processing and distribution, which takes place at our North Billerica, Massachusetts facility.

Global Isotope Supply

Currently, our largest supplier of Moly and our only supplier of Xenon is Nordion, which relies on the NRU reactor in Chalk River, Ontario. For Moly, we currently have a supply agreement with Nordion that runs through December 31, 2015, subject to certain early termination provisions, and supply agreements with NTP of South Africa, ANSTO of Australia, and IRE of Belgium, each running through December 31, 2017. For Xenon, we have a purchase order relationship with Nordion. The Canadian government requires the NRU reactor to shut down for at least four weeks at least once a year for inspection and maintenance. The 2015 shutdown period ran from April 13, 2015 until May 12, 2015, and we were able to source all of our standing order customer demand for Moly during this time period from our other suppliers. However, because Xenon is a by-product of the Moly production process and is currently captured only by NRU, for approximately two weeks during this shutdown period, we were not able to supply all of our standing order customer demand for Xenon. Because the month-long NRU shutdown was fully anticipated in our 2015 budgeting process, the shutdown did not have a material adverse effect on our 2015 results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We believe we are well-positioned with our current supply partners to have a secure supply of Moly, including low-enriched uranium, or LEU, Moly, when the NRU reactor transitions in October 2016 from providing regular supply of medical isotopes to providing only emergency back-up supply medical isotopes through March 2018. ANSTO has under construction, in cooperation with NTP, a new Moly processing facility that ANSTO believes will expand its production capacity by approximately 2.5 times, with expanded commercial production planned to start in the latter part of 2016. In addition, IRE is currently in the process of expanding its production capability by up to 50%, and IRE expects this capacity expansion to be approved by its regulatory body by 2016. The new ANSTO and IRE production capacity is expected to replace the NRU’s current routine production. In January 2015, we announced entering into a new strategic agreement with IRE for the future supply of Xenon. Under the terms of the agreement, IRE will provide bulk Xenon to us for processing and finishing once development work has been completed and all necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained. We currently estimate commercial production will occur in 2016. If we are not able to begin providing commercial quantities of Xenon prior to the NRU reactor’s supply transition in October 2016, there may be a period of time during which we are not able to offer Xenon in our portfolio of commercial products. See “Prospectus—“Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors—We face potential supply and demand challenges for Xenon.”

Demand for TechneLite

Since the global Moly supply shortage in 2009 to 2010, we have experienced reduced demand for TechneLite generators from pre-shortage levels even though volume has increased in absolute terms from levels during the shortage following the return of our normal Moly supply in August 2010. However, we do not know if overall industry demand for technetium will ever return to pre-shortage levels. See “Prospectus—Risk Factors—The Moly supply shortage caused by the 2009-10 NRU reactor shutdown has had a negative effect on the demand for some of our products, which will likely continue in the future.”

Separate from the Moly supply shortage, we believe there has also been a decline in the MPI study market because of industry-wide cost containment initiatives that have resulted in a transition of where imaging procedures are performed, from free-standing imaging centers to the hospital setting. While the total number of patient studies has not returned to pre-shortage levels, the total MPI market has been essentially flat for the period 2011 through 2014.

In November 2014, CMS announced the 2015 final Medicare payment rules for hospital outpatient settings. Under the final rules, each technetium dose produced from a generator for a diagnostic procedure in a hospital outpatient setting is reimbursed by Medicare at a higher rate if that technetium dose is produced from a generator containing Moly sourced from at least 95 percent LEU. We currently understand that CMS expects to continue this incentive program for the foreseeable future. In January 2013, we began to offer a TechneLite generator which contains Moly sourced from at least 95 percent LEU and which satisfies the requirements for reimbursement under this incentive program. Although demand for LEU generators appears to be growing, we do not knowcannot predict when, or if, this incremental reimbursement for LEU Moly generators will result in a material increase in our generator sales.

Cardinal Supply Agreements

Our written supply agreements with Cardinal relating to TechneLite generators, Xenon, Neurolite, Cardiolite and certain other products expired in accordance with their terms on December 31, 2014. Following extended discussions with Cardinal that have not yet resulted in one or more new written supply agreements, we are currently accepting and fulfilling product orders from Cardinal on a purchase order basis at list price. We cannot predict the volumes or product mix Cardinal will continue to order and purchase, and such volumes and product mix may vary over time. In the absence of written supply agreements with Cardinal, in early 2015, our sales volumes with Cardinal began to transition from previous historical levels to new, lower levels, but at substantially higher prices. This gave us a revenue and margin benefit in the first quarter of 2015. Some of the volume that we previously sold to Cardinal has shifted to sales to other of our radiopharmacy customers. We currently anticipate the benefit we experienced in the first quarter of 2015 from this change in contractual status will continue to moderate in future quarters for so long as we do not have written supply agreements with Cardinal, and we have begun to see such moderation in the second quarter of 2015.Cardinal.

While future levels of revenue and profit contribution associated with Cardinal cannot be predicted at this time because such amounts depend on future unit sales volumes, product mix and pricing to Cardinal, we currently anticipate that overall quarterly levels for the remainder of 2015 will be lower than those experienced during the first quarter of 2015 and during the respective year-ago periods. We further anticipate this change in contractual status will continue to favorably impact our gross profit percentage versus respective year-ago periods, though not to the extent experienced during the first quarter of 2015. The future favorable impact to our gross profit percentage will depend on ultimate levels of unit volume and product mix ordered by this customer in future periods. See “Prospectus—Risk Factors—In the United States, we are heavily dependent on a few large customers and group purchasing organization arrangements to generate a majority of our revenues for our medical imaging products. Outside of the United States, we rely on distributors to generate a substantial portion of our revenues.” See “Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors —We face potential supply and demand challenges for Xenon.”

Research and Development Expenses

To remain a leader in the marketplace, we have historically made substantial investments in new product development. As a result, the positive contributions of those internally funded R&D programs have been a key factor in our historical results and success. In March 2013, we began to implement a strategic shift in how we fund our important R&D programs. We have reduced our internal R&D resources while at the same time we are seeking to engage strategic partners to assist us in the further development and commercialization of our important agents in development, including flurpiridaz F 18, 18F LMI 1195 and LMI 1174.

In November 2014, we announced our plans to decommission certain long-lived assets associated with our R&D operations in the United States. We expected the decommissioning to begin in the second half of 2015. As a result, of this shift, we are seeking strategic partners to assist us with the further development and possible commercialization of flurpiridaz F 18. Forrevised our other two important agents in development, 18F LMI 1195 and LMI 1174, we are also seeking to engage strategic partners to assist us with the ongoing development activities relating to these agents.

Recent Events

On June 25, 2015, in conjunction with our initial public offering, or IPO, we effected a corporate reorganization, whereby Lantheus MI Intermediate, Inc. (formerly the direct parent of LMI and the direct subsidiary of Holdings) was merged with and into Holdings, or the Merger. In conjunction with the Merger, we effected a 0.355872-for-1 reverse stock split for its common stock. Upon consummationestimates of the Merger, the par valueremaining useful lives of the common stock changed from $0.001affected long-lived assets to $0.01.seven months.

On

During the second quarter of 2015, we halted our decommissioning plans until an indefinite date. As a result, we revised our estimates of the remaining useful lives of the affected long-lived assets back to its original remaining useful life effective April 1, 2015. This resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $3.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we completed an IPO of our common stock at a priceas compared to the public of $6.00 per share. Our common stockquarter ended March 31, 2015, and is now traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol “LNTH”. We issued and sold 12,256,577 shares of common stockincluded in R&D expenses in the IPO, including 1,423,243 shares that were offered and sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise in fullcondensed consolidated statement of its overallotment option. The IPO raised proceeds to us of approximately $67.2 million, after deducting $6.4 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and related expenses.

Segments

We report our results of operations in two operating segments: United States and International. We generate a greater proportion of our revenue and net income in the United States segment, which consists of all regions of the United States with the exception of Puerto Rico. We expect our percentage of revenue and net income derived from our International segment to continue to increase in future periods as we continue to expand globally.

Executive Overview

Our results in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 reflect the following:

 

increased revenues and segment penetration for DEFINITY in the suboptimal echocardiogram segment as a result of our sales efforts and sustained availability of product supply;

 

increased revenues for Xenon, mainly the result of higher selling prices, offset in part by mix shift among certain sales channels;

 

decreased revenues from our TechneLite generators in absence of Cardinal agreements;

 

lower international revenues across product lines because of unfavorable foreign exchange and competitive pressures;

 

increased depreciation over the prior year period associated with the scheduled decommissioning of certain long-lived assets;

 

$15.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt costs related to the redemption of LMI’s outstanding Notes;

 

$6.5 million payment for the termination of our advisory services and monitoring agreement with Avista; and

 

$3.3 million in additional interest payments to redeem the Notes on July 30, 2015.2015; and

decreased interest expense due to the refinancing of long-term debt.

Total revenues decreased $2.3$1.6 million, or 3.0%2.1%, to $73.3$74.1 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to $75.6$75.7 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014. U.S. segment revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 0.3%0.4%, to $58.4$59.2 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to $58.6$59.4 million in the prior year period. The International segment revenues decreased $2.1$1.4 million, or 12.4%8.3%, to $14.9 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to $17.0$16.3 million in the prior year period.

Total revenues decreased $0.8$2.3 million, or 0.5%1.1%, to $148.1$222.3 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to $148.9$224.6 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014. U.S. segment revenue increased $3.7$3.5 million, or 3.2%2.0%, to $119.0$178.3 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to $115.4$174.8 million in the prior year period. The International segment revenues decreased $4.5$5.8 million, or 13.3%11.7%, to $29.1$44.0 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to $33.6$49.8 million in the prior year period.

The decrease in U.S. segment revenues for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to $6.0a decrease of $6.3 million in TechneLite driven by lower volumes, $1.1a decrease of $0.8 million in Neurolite driven by lower volumes and a decrease in license revenue of approximately of $1.0 million as a result of a contract ending in December 2014 that had contained a license fee that was recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Offsetting these decreases was an increase of $3.1$3.8 million increase in Xenon primarily as a result of higher selling prices and an increase of $4.8$4.6 million in DEFINITY driven primarily by higher unit volumes.

The increase in U.S. segment revenues for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to an increase of $8.0$12.6 million in DEFINITY driven primarily by higher unit volumes and an increase of $6.6$10.4 million increase in Xenon primarily as a result of higher selling prices. Offsetting these increases was a decrease of $7.9$14.2 million TechneLite driven by lower volumes, a decrease in license revenue of approximately of $2.0$2.9 million as a result of a contract ending in December 2014 that had contained a license fee that was recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, and $0.8$1.6 million in Neurolite driven by lower volumes and $1.2 million in Thallium driven by lower volumes.

The decrease in the International segment revenues for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to $1.6$2.3 million unfavorable foreign exchange and $0.8$0.4 million decrease in Cardiolite revenues as a result of competitive pressures. This was offset, in part, by $0.7 million in other marketed products, $0.4 million increase in TechneLite driven by volumes and $0.2 million in DEFINITY driven by increased volume.

The decrease in the International segment revenues for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to $2.9$5.2 million unfavorable foreign exchange and $1.7$2.0 million decrease in Cardiolite revenues as a result of competitive pressures. This was offset, in part, by $0.5 million increase in TechneLite driven by volumes, $0.5 million in DEFINITY driven by increased volume and $0.3 million in other marketed products.

Rebates and Allowances

Estimates for rebates and allowances represent our estimated obligations under contractual arrangements with 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 result from performance-based offers that are primarily based on attaining contractually specified sales volumes and growth, Medicaid rebate programs for certain products, administrative fees of group purchasing organizations, royalties 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 buying patterns and the resulting applicable contractual rebate or commission rate(s) to be earned over a contractual period.

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014, interest income remained consistent.

Extinguishment of Debt

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, we incurred a $15.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of LMI’s Notes.

Other Income (Expense) Income,, net

For the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2014, other expense increased by $0.6 million as a result of an increase in foreign currency losses.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014, our effective tax rate was 5.1%11.4% and 9.8%20.2%, respectively. The $1.5$2.3 million decrease in the tax benefit for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, was impacted primarily by interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions.positions, and the decrease in the valuation allowance from losses that cannot be benefitted. Considering our history of losses, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance against substantially all of our net deferred tax assets. Our provision (benefit) for income taxes results primarily from reversals of uncertain tax positions as

statutes lapse or are settled during the year, offset by taxes due in certain foreign jurisdictions where we generate taxable income, as well as interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions. The following items had the most significant impact on the difference between our statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% and our effective tax rate during the years ended:

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities is primarily driven by our earnings and changes in working capital. The increasedecrease in cash provided by operating activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 as compared to 2014 was primarily driven by cash flow increases in accounts receivable due to improved cash collections and cash flow increases in accounts payable due to the timing of payments. Offsetting these increases were decreases in cash flows in accrued expenses and other liabilities due to the paymenttiming of interest payments on our Senior Notes throughlong-term debt and cash flow decreases in inventory due to the redemption date (July 30, 2015).timing of inventory receipts. Offsetting these decreases were increases in cash flows from accounts receivable due to improved cash collections and an increase in earnings, adjusted for non-cash items, primarily, non-cash write-offs and depreciation.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The increase in net cash used in investing activities in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 as compared to 2014 primarily reflects increased spending on the purchase of property and equipment.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, we generated $423.4$421.4 million from the net proceeds of the Term Facility together with the net proceeds from the IPO. The net proceeds generated from the Term Facility and the IPO were used to repay in full the aggregate principal amount of the $400.0 million Notes, pay related premiums and expenses and pay down the $8.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, which totaled $417.8 million.

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, we generatedused cash from financing activities through $5.5due to the cash use of $1.8 million of proceeds from our Revolving Facility.for offering costs.

External Sources of Liquidity

On June 30, 2015, we completed our IPO, entered into a new $365.0 million seven-year Term Facility and amended and restated our Revolving Facility that has a borrowing capacity of $50.0 million. The net proceeds of the Term Facility and the IPO together with available cash were used to repay in full the aggregate principal amount of the $400.0 million Notes, and pay related premiums, interest and expenses and pay down $8.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

We have the right to request an increase of the Term Facility in an aggregate amount up to $37.5 million plus additional amounts subject to certain leverage ratios. The term loans under the Term Facility bear interest, with pricing based from time to time at our election at (i) LIBOR plus a spread of 6.00% (with a LIBOR rate floor of 1.00%) or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in our Term Facility) plus a spread of 5.00%. Interest under term loans based on (i) the LIBOR rate is payable at the end of each interest period (as defined in our Term Facility) and (ii) the Base Rate is payable at the end of each quarter.

The loans under our Revolving Facility bear interest subject to a pricing grid based on average historical excess availability, with pricing based from time to time at our election at (i) LIBOR plus a spread of 2.00% or (ii) the Reference Rate (as defined in our Revolving Facility) plus a spread of 1.00%. Our Revolving Facility also includes an unused line fee of 0.375% and expires on June 30, 2020.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had an unfunded Standby Letter of Credit for up to $8.8 million. The unfunded Standby Letter of Credit requires annual fees, payable quarterly, which, subsequent to the amendment, is set at LIBOR plus a spread of 2.00% and expires on February 5, 2016, which will automatically renew for a one year period at each anniversary date, unless we elect not to renew in writing within 60 days prior to such expiration.

Our Revolving Facility is secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of LMI, together with the assets of Holdingsthe Company and assets of Lantheus Real Estate, including each such entity’s accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment, and is guaranteed by each of Holdingsthe Company and Lantheus Real Estate. Borrowing capacity is determined by reference to a borrowing base, or the Borrowing Base, which is based on (i) a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment minus (ii) any reserves. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, the aggregate Borrowing Base was approximately $38.8$46.2 million, which was reduced by an outstanding $8.8 million unfunded Standby Letter of Credit and $0.1 million in accrued interest resulting in a net borrowing base availability of approximately $29.9$37.3 million. Our new Term 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 Revolving Facility may affect our ability to comply with the covenants in the Term Facility, including the financial covenant restricting total net leverage, accordingly, we may be limited in utilizing our net Borrowing Base availability as a source of liquidity.

Our Revolving Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants, as well as restrictions on the ability of LMI, us and our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) repay subordinated indebtedness prior to its stated maturity; (iii) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iv) make certain investments; (v) sell certain assets; (vi) create liens; (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and (viii) enter into certain transactions with our affiliates. Our Revolving Facility also contains customary default provisions as well as cash dominion provisions which allow the lender to sweep our accounts during the period (x) certain specified events of default are continuing under our Revolving Facility or (y) excess availability under our Revolving Facility falls below certain specific levels. During a covenant trigger period, we are required to comply with a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:00:1:00. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated on a consolidated basis for us on a trailing four-fiscal quarter period basis, as (i) EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) minus capital expenditures minus certain restricted payments divided by (ii) interest plus taxes paid or payable in cash plus certain restricted payments made in cash plus scheduled principal payments paid or payable in cash.

Our Term Facility is guaranteed by the Company and Lantheus Real Estate, and obligations under the Term Facility are secured by substantially all the property and assets and all interests of the Company.Company, LMI and Lantheus Real Estate.

Our Term Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative, reporting and financial covenants, in each case subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds. Our Term Facility requires us to be in quarterly compliance, measured on a trailing four quarter basis. The financial covenants are displayed in the table below:

The Term Facility contains usual and customary restrictions on the ability of us and our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness (ii) create liens; (iii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our 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 our affiliates.

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 repay our debt and take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our balance sheet. These actions may include prepayments of our term loan. The amount of debt that may be prepaid, if any, would be decided at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt from time to time, our cash position and other considerations.

Funding Requirements

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

our ability to have product manufactured and released from JHS and other manufacturing sites in a timely manner in the future;

 

the pricing environment and the level of product sales of our currently marketed products, particularly DEFINITY and Xenon, and any additional products that we may market in the future;

 

revenue mix shifts and associated volume and selling price changes that could result from contractual status changes with key customers;

 

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 costs of investing in our facilities, equipment and technology infrastructure;

 

the costs and timing of establishing manufacturing and supply arrangements for commercial supplies of our products;

 

the extent to which we acquire or invest in products, businesses and technologies;

 

the extent to which we choose to establish collaboration, co- promotion, distribution or other similar arrangements for our marketed products;

 

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 or other claims; and

 

the cost of interest on any additional borrowings which we may incur under our financing arrangements.

Until we successfully become dual sourced for our principal products, we are vulnerable to future supply shortages. Disruption in the financial performance could also occur if we experience significant adverse changes in customer mix, broad economic downturns, adverse industry or company conditions or catastrophic external events. If we experience one or more of these events in the future, we may be required to implement additional 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.

If our capital resources become insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we would need to finance our cash needs through additional public or private equity offerings, assets securitizations, debt financings, sale-leasebacks or other financing or strategic alternatives, to the extent such transactions are permissible under the covenants of our Revolving Facility and Term Facility. 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 Revolving Facility and our Term Facility, 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 the covenants of our Revolving Facility and Term Facility. However, we cannot be assured that such an amendment or waiver would be granted, or that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2015, our only current committed external source of funds is our borrowing availability under our Revolving Facility. We had $22.2$21.9 million of cash and cash equivalents at JuneSeptember 30, 2015. Availability under our Revolving Facility is calculated by reference to the Borrowing Base. If we are not successful in achieving our forecasted results, our accounts receivable and inventory could be negatively affected, reducing the Borrowing Base and limiting our borrowing availability. Our new Term 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 revolving line of credit may affect our ability to comply with the covenants in the Term Facility, including the financial covenant restricting total net leverage, accordingly, we may be limited in utilizing our net Borrowing Base availability as a source of liquidity.

Based on our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, results of operations and availability under our Revolving Facility will be sufficient to continue to fund our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is 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 in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, inventory, impairments of long-lived assets including intangible assets, impairments of goodwill, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in such policies in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015. For further information, refer to our summary of significant accounting policies and estimates in our Prospectus.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are required to provide the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or NRC, and Massachusetts Department of Public Health financial assurance demonstrating our ability to fund the decommissioning of our North Billerica, Massachusetts production facility upon closure, though we do not intend to close the facility. We have provided this financial assurance in the form of a $28.2 million surety bond and an $8.8 million letter of credit.

Since inception, we have not engaged in any other off-balance sheet arrangements, including structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments to reduce these risks or for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

As a result of our new Term Facility, we have substantial variable rate debt. Fluctuations in interest rates may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, we had $365.0$364.1 million outstanding under our Term Facility with a variable interest rate that only varies to the extent LIBOR exceeds one percent.

Furthermore, we are subject to interest rate risk in connection with the Revolving Facility, which is variable rate indebtedness. Interest rate changes could increase the amount of our interest payments and thus negatively impact our future earnings and cash flows. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, there was an $8.8 million unfunded Standby Letter of Credit and $0.1 million accrued interest, which reduced availability to $29.9$37.3 million on the Revolving Facility. Any increase in the interest rate under the Revolving Facility may have a negative impact on our future earnings to the extent we have outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility. The effect of a 100 basis points adverse change in market interest rates, in excess of minimum floors, on our interest expense would be approximately $53,000.$966,000.

Historically, we have not used derivative financial instruments or other financial instruments to hedge such economic exposures.

Foreign Currency Risk

We face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates whenever we, or any of our subsidiaries, enter into transactions with third parties that are denominated in currencies other than ours, or its, functional currency. Intercompany transactions between entities that use different functional currencies also expose us to foreign currency risk. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014, the net impact of foreign currency changes on transactions was a loss of $0.4 million.$1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Historically, we have not used derivative financial instruments or other financial instruments to hedge such economic exposures.

Gross margins of products we manufacture at our U.S. plants and sell in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are also affected by foreign currency exchange rate movements. Our gross margin on revenues for the sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014 was 46.2%46.0% and 41.0%41.3%, respectively. If the U.S. Dollar had been stronger by 1%, 5% or 10%, compared to the actual rates during the

six nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015, we estimate our gross margin on revenues would have increased by 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.7%, respectively. If the U.S. Dollar had been stronger by 1%, 5% or 10%, compared to the actual rates during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014, we estimate our gross margin on revenues would have increased by 0.0%, 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively.

In addition, a portion of our earnings is generated by our foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. Dollar. Our earnings could be materially impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates upon the translation of the earnings of those subsidiaries into the U.S. Dollar. The Canadian Dollar presents the primary currency risk on our earnings.

If the U.S. Dollar had been uniformly stronger by 1%, 5% or 10%, compared to the actual average exchange rates used to translate the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries, our revenues and net income for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 would have been impacted by approximately the following amounts:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we have in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to investigations by governmental and regulatory authorities which exposes us to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory or other proceedings, as a result of which we could be required to pay significant fines or penalties. The 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 us. In addition, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief which, if imposed against us, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

On December 16, 2010, we filed suit against one of our insurance carriers seeking to recover business interruption losses associated with the NRU reactor shutdown and the ensuing global Moly supply shortage (Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc., Plaintiff v. Zurich American Insurance Company, Defendant, United States District Court, Southern District of New York, Case No. 10 Civ 9371). The claim is the result of the shutdown of the NRU reactor in Chalk River, Ontario. The NRU reactor was off-line from May 2009 until August 2010. The defendant answered the complaint on January 21, 2011, denying substantially all of the allegations, presenting certain defenses and requesting dismissal of the case with costs and disbursements. Discovery, including international discovery and related motion practice, went on for more than three years. The defendant filed a motion for summary judgment on July 14, 2014. The Company filed a memorandum of law in opposition to defendant’s motion for summary judgment on August 25, 2014. The defendant filed a reply memorandum of law in further support of its motion for summary judgment on September 15, 2014. Expert witness discovery was completed on October 31, 2014. On March 25, 2015, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment. On May 22,September 4, 2015, we filed a notice ofan appeal of the District Court decision with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. We cannot be certain when, if ever, we will be able to recover for business interruption losses related to this matter and in what amount, if any.

Except as noted above, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015, we had no material ongoing litigation, regulatory or other proceeding and had no knowledge of any investigations by governmental or regulatory authorities in which we are a target that could have a material adverse effect on our current business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors set forth in our Prospectus except as set forth below. For further information, refer to “Risk Factors” in our Prospectus.

We face significant competition in our business and may not be able to compete effectively.

The market for diagnostic medical imaging agents is highly competitive and continually evolving. Our principal competitors in existing diagnostic modalities include large, global companies with substantial financial, manufacturing, sales and marketing and logistics resources that are more diversified than ours, such as GE Healthcare, Bracco Diagnostics Inc., or Bracco, Mallinckrodt, Bayer Schering Pharma AG, or Bayer, and DRAXIS Specialty Pharmaceuticals Inc. (an affiliate of JHS), or Draxis, as well as other competitors. We cannot anticipate their actions in the same or competing diagnostic modalities, such as significant price reductions on products that are comparable to our own, development or introduction of new products that are more cost-effective or have superior performance than our current products, the introduction of generic versions when our proprietary products lose their patent protection or the new entry into a generic market in which we are already a participant. In addition, distributors of our products could attempt to

shift end-users to competing diagnostic modalities and products. Our current or future products could be rendered obsolete or uneconomical as a result of these activities. Our failure to compete effectively could cause us to lose market share to our competitors and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In October 2014, Bracco received FDA approval in the United States for its echocardiography agent, Lumason (known as SonoVue outside of the U.S.), which is already approved for sale in Europe and certain Asian markets, including China, Japan and Korea. Bracco now has one of three FDA-approved echocardiography contrast agents in the United States, together with GE Healthcare’s Optison and our DEFINITY. Bracco formally launched Lumason in the United States on April 27, 2015. If Bracco successfully commercializes Lumason in the United States without otherwise increasing the overall usage of ultrasound contrast agents, our current and future sales volume could suffer, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Xenon for lung ventilation diagnosis is our third largest product by revenue. Historically, several companies sold packaged Xenon as a pulmonary imaging agent in the U.S., but since 2010 we have been the only supplier of this imaging agent in the U.S. We understand that a radiopharmaceutical manufacturer is now seeking regulatory approval from the FDA to sell packaged Xenon in the U.S. If that manufacturer receives FDA approval and begins to sell packaged Xenon in the U.S., depending upon the pricing, extent of availability and market penetration of the new offering, we believe we could experience substantial volume loss and price erosion with existing Xenon customers who are not subject to price or volume commitments, such as Cardinal Health, historically our largest Xenon customer. Although we intend to compete vigorously in the market for this important imaging agent, we believe that these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We face potential supply and demand challenges for Xenon.

Currently, Nordion is our sole supplier, and we believe the principal supplier on a global basis, of Xenon, which is captured by the NRU reactor as a by-product of the Moly production process. In January 2015, we entered into a new strategic agreement with IRE for the future supply of Xenon. Under the terms of the agreement, IRE will provide bulk Xenon to us for processing and finishing once development work has been completed and all necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained. We currently estimate commercial production will occur in 2016. If we are not able to begin providing commercial quantities of Xenon prior to the NRU reactor’s transition in October 2016 from providing regular supply of medical isotopes to providing only emergency back-up supply of medical isotopes through March 2018, there may be a period of time during which we are not able to offer Xenon in our portfolio of commercial products, which would have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Xenon represented approximately 12% of our revenues.

Currently, we obtain Xenon from Nordion on a purchase order basis. If we are not able to pass along to our customers any change of terms from our supplier, there could be a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Currently, we are the only supplier of packaged Xenon in the U.S., although historically several companies also sold packaged Xenon as a pulmonary imaging agent in the U.S. We understand that a radiopharmaceutical manufacturer is now seeking regulatory approval from the FDA to sell packaged Xenon in the U.S. If that manufacturer receives FDA approval and begins to sell packaged Xenon in the U.S., depending upon the pricing, extent of availability and market penetration of the new offering, we believe we could experience substantial volume loss and price erosion with existing Xenon customers who are not subject to price or volume commitments, such as Cardinal Health, historically our largest Xenon customer. Although we intend to compete vigorously in the market for this important imaging agent, we believe that these developments could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition to a possible new supplier of packaged Xenon in the U.S., if there is an increase in the use of other imaging modalities in place of packaged Xenon, our current sales volumes would decrease, which could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Xenon is frequently administered as part of a ventilation scan to evaluate pulmonary function prior to a perfusion scan with microaggregated albumin, or MAA, a technetium-based radiopharmaceutical used to evaluate blood flow to the lungs. Currently, Draxis is the sole supplier of MAA on a global basis. In 2014, Draxis announced substantial price increases for MAA. The increased price of MAA, or difficulties in obtaining MAA, could decrease the frequency in which MAA is used for lung perfusion evaluation, in turn, decreasing the frequency that Xenon is used for pulmonary function evaluation, resulting in a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

If we lose the services of our key personnel, our business could be adversely affected.

Our success is substantially dependent upon the performance, contributions and expertise of our chief executive officer, executive leadership and senior management team. Jeffrey Bailey,Mary Anne Heino, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and John Bakewell, our Chief Financial Officer, Mary Anne Heino, our Chief Operating Officer, and other members of our executive leadership and senior management team play a significant role in generating new business and retaining existing customers. We have employment agreements with Messrs. BaileyMs. Heino and Mr. Bakewell and Ms. Heino and a limited number of other individuals on our executive leadership team, although we cannot prevent them from terminating their employment with us. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our executive officers. While we have experienced both voluntary and involuntary turnover on our executive leadership team, to date we have been able to attract new, qualified individuals to lead our company and key functional areas. The majorityAll of the options granted to employees under our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and 2013 Equity Incentive Plan are currently out-of-the-money. In particular, none of Mr. Bailey, Mr. Bakewell or Ms. Heino currently holds any in-the-moneyout-of-the-money, although we have also made restricted stock options. Our abilitygrants to retainemployees under our existing executive leadership2013 Equity Incentive Plan and senior management team will depend, in part, on modifying and supplementing our current employee equity incentive program.2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Our inability to retain our existing executive leadership and senior management team, maintain an appropriate internal succession program or attract and retain additional qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Initial Public Offering of Common Stock

On June 30, 2015, we completed an IPO of our common stock at a price to the public of $6.00 per share. Our common stock is now traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol “LNTH”. We issued and sold 12,256,577 shares of common stock in the IPO, including 1,423,243 shares that were offered and sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise in full of its overallotment option. The IPO raised proceeds of approximately $67.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and related expenses.

Repurchases

The following table presents information with respect to purchases of common stock we made during the quarter ending September 30, 2015. The Company does not have a share repurchase program in effect. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2015 Plan, provides for the withholding of shares to satisfy tax 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 tax withholding obligations may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item.
