| As the leader, we do disproportionately benefit from competition as more PSMA imaging agents come into the market, they raise awareness and naturally PYLARIFY benefits from that rising tide |
| As such, we believe there is a significant opportunity for PSMA PET to continue to grow and for PYLARIFY to maintain its market leadership |
| And these strategic partnerships help codify that relationship and ensure that we remain solid partners together for years to come |
| 2023 was another stellar year at Lantheus, delivering record revenues, earnings and cash flows, bolstering our position as the leading radiopharmaceutical focused company |
| I'm particularly proud that our products were used to impact the lives of more than 6 million patients and their families in 2023, a testament to our purpose to find it and follow disease to deliver better patient outcomes |
| This growth was primarily driven by PYLARIFY and DEFINITY, both of which delivered strong performance of over 61% and 14% growth year-over-year, respectively, continuing solid momentum for 2024 |
| PYLARIFY continues to grow with the potential to reach $1 billion in sales this year and remains the clear market leader offering a differentiated value proposition that, together with our operational excellence give us confidence that PYLARIFY will remain the number one PSMA PET imaging agent for prostate cancer patients, even amidst increasing competition and potential transitional pass-through expiry |
| DEFINITY as well delivered solid growth and remains the ultrasound-enhancing agent of choice |
| The company did a fantastic job putting that in place |
| And we think it has the potential to be best-in-class, and that's one that we're very close to as well |
| As you heard in my remarks, we're really excited about the task we see forward for potential commercial application with that product |
| Importantly, I would note that our market revenue leadership continues to expand and indeed solidify both annually where we grew from the fourth quarter of 23% versus the fourth quarter of '22, $86 million year-over-year as well as sequentially, where we expand from 3Q to 4Q by $14 million, with that revenue dollar growth outpacing that of our competition |
| Free cash flows are expected to be nearly double the 2023 results, providing significant strength to our balance sheet and ability to execute on our growth strategy and targeted acquisitions |
| Our fourth quarter results demonstrated clear market leadership, operational excellence, and continued growth of the overall PSMA PET imaging market |
| We are pleased with PYLARIFY success and the impact that is made on the lives of those living with prostate cancer, including having been utilized for the diagnosis and staging of more than 300,000 patients since launch |
| This is a large and growing market, and we believe there is ample room for multiple players and for sustained volume and revenue growth going forward |
| 2023 was another stellar year for Lantheus, delivering strong commercial and operational performance |
| We're closely watching 2002 in the SPALSH data, and we continue to look at various slices of the information that's coming across, and we remain encouraged, quite frankly |
| As we shared earlier this year, we see significant growth opportunity for PSMA PET imaging |
| Our registrational trials demonstrated a high positive predictive value and high reader agreement, providing clinicians confidence in the accuracy and consistency of image interpretation and ultimately, in their patient management decisions |
| We expect full year revenue growth to remain robust, led notably with PYLARIFY and DEFINITY |
| Operationally, we continue to grow PYLARIFY and maintain our market leadership in the PSMA diagnostic market through our educational and promotional efforts led by the industry's largest customer-focused team |
| We also offer a best-in-class customer experience that enables healthcare providers and patients to access PYLARIFY with a 98% on-time in-full dose delivery rate |
| Lastly, strategic partnership and other revenue was $22.8 million, up 214.9% over the prior year quarter, driven primarily by the aforementioned RELISTOR milestone contribution of $15 million and further bolstered by MK-6240's performance of $6.4 million |
| This transaction aligns with our investment strategy to further expand our radiopharmaceutical pipeline with potential long-term benefits, allowing us to gain access to innovative therapies, technologies and establishing a collaborative partnership for sustained growth |
| As Mary Anne and Paul both mentioned, we are excited about the Perspective partnership, and I want to speak a bit more about why I think it's a smart strategic opportunity for the company going forward |
| Operationally, we have increased production of DEFINITY at our Lantheus manufacturing facility, which allows for enhanced supply chain redundancy, improved flexibility, and reduced cost |
| Clinically, DEFINITY delivers high-resolution echocardiograms that improve cardiac diagnosis and patient management and has a proven safety profile across broad patient populations |
| In our microbubble business, DEFINITY maintained its strong momentum with full year 2023 net sales of approximately $280 million, up 14% year-over-year |
| Commercially, DEFINITY remains the clear market leader as the most utilized, extensively studied, and a trusted ultrasound-enhancing agent in the U.S |
| Statement |
|---|
| TechneLite revenue was $21.5 million, down 13% versus the prior year comparable that included greater opportunistic sales |
| Full year TechneLite sales were $87.4 million, down 1.7% |
| But again, I think if you peel out the impact of the RELISTOR royalty out of the prior year, that's about an 80 basis point headwind |
| As expected, Novartis filed a patent infringement lawsuit, which triggered a potential 30-month stay under the Hatch-Waxman Act |
