Acquisition of Businesses

Evergreen Theragnostics, Inc.

On April 1, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Evergreen by means of a statutory merger of a subsidiary of the Company with and into Evergreen, with Evergreen surviving as the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Evergreen Merger”), pursuant to the terms of the Evergreen Merger Agreement. Evergreen is a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company engaged in CDMO services as well as drug discovery and commercialization of proprietary products.

As consideration for the Evergreen Merger, the Company remitted an upfront payment of $276.4 million in cash. The upfront cash consideration included a $25.0 million milestone payment that was triggered prior to the Closing Date, the cash settlement of the options and restricted stock units granted to certain Evergreen equity holders related to pre-acquisition services, which was recorded as a component of consideration transferred of $6.1 million, the settlement by the Company of the pre-existing Evergreen debt of $4.3 million, and the payment of transaction expenses paid by the Company on behalf of Evergreen of $11.6 million. In connection with the Evergreen Merger, certain equity awards that were outstanding and unvested prior to the acquisition became fully vested per terms of the merger agreement. The Company recognized $7.5 million of nonrecurring post-combination expense related to the acceleration and cash settlement of unvested historical Evergreen employee stock awards, which was recorded to operating expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Company may make additional potential remaining milestone payments of up to $727.5 million in cash pursuant to the Evergreen Merger Agreement. The potential remaining milestone payments are accounted for as contingent consideration, the fair value of which is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation for sales milestones and a probability-weighted DCF approach for development and commercialization milestones. The fair value of the total contingent consideration is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2025.

The Evergreen Merger was accounted for as an acquisition of a business under ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date be recognized at their fair value as of the acquisition date. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, its estimates and assumptions are subject to refinement. Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The preliminary allocation of purchase price is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2025, the purchase accounting for the Evergreen Merger has not been finalized. As additional information becomes available, the Company may further revise its preliminary purchase price allocation during the remainder of the measurement period. The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:

(1)
The value approximates the gross contractual amount of accounts receivables. The contractual amount not expected to be collected is immaterial.
(2)
Intangible assets acquired consisted of in-process research and development (“IPR&D”). The estimated fair values of the IPR&D assets were determined based on the present values of the expected cash flows to be generated by the respective underlying assets. The Company used a discount rate of 11.5% and cash flows that have been probability adjusted to reflect the risks of product commercialization, which the Company believes are appropriate and representative of market participant assumptions.
(3)
The goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that are not separately identifiable that could potentially add to the currently developed and pipeline products and Evergreen’s assembled workforce. Future technologies did not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are part of the future development and growth of the business. Goodwill of $116.2 million recognized in connection with the Evergreen Merger is not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition-related costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are expensed in the periods in which costs are incurred. The Company incurred $14.7 million and $17.2 million of acquisition- and integration-related costs, including legal, accounting, compensation arrangements and other related fees in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. These costs are recorded in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The results of operations attributable to the Evergreen Merger for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were not material. Pro forma information has not been included as this acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Acquisition of Assets

Strategic Agreements with Perspective Therapeutics, Inc.

On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Perspective to participate in Perspective’s next qualified financing to purchase Perspective Shares. On January 22, 2024, the Company purchased 56,342,355 Perspective Shares, representing 11.39% of the outstanding Perspective Shares, at the fair market offering price of $0.37 per share. Included within the agreement is a covenant which allows for the Company to designate one observer to Perspective’s board of directors. The observer has the option to attend any or all board meetings in a nonvoting capacity and the right to receive any board materials, except under certain instances where attorney-client privilege is necessary, where the material relates to a business or contractual relationship with the Company, to avoid bona fide conflict of interest, exposure of trade secrets or relating to a change of control transaction. The Company purchased an additional 60,431,039 Perspective Shares at a fair market purchase price of $0.95 per share as an investor in a private placement transaction on March 6, 2024, which resulted in the Company holding a cumulative 19.90% of the outstanding Perspective Shares (or 17.35% on a fully diluted basis) after giving effect to the closing of the private placement transaction. The Company holds less than 20% of the outstanding Perspective Shares and therefore does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Perspective because the Company’s board observer has no voting rights and there is otherwise no participation in policy-making processes, no interchange of managerial personnel, and no sharing of technology between the Company and Perspective. See Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” for more information on the Company’s investment in Perspective Shares.

Also effective January 8, 2024, the Company obtained certain options and rights from Perspective for an aggregate upfront payment of $28.0 million in cash. The options and rights received from Perspective that remain open are as follows:

An exclusive option from Perspective to negotiate for an exclusive license under the rights of Perspective and its affiliates to Perspective’s Pb212-VMT-α-NET, a clinical stage alpha therapy developed for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, to develop, manufacture, commercialize and otherwise exploit the VMT-α-NET Product.
A right to co-fund the investigational new drug application (“IND”) enabling studies for early-stage therapeutic candidates targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen and gastrin releasing peptide receptor and, prior to IND filing, a right to negotiate for an exclusive license to such candidates.

None of these options and rights have been exercised as of June 30, 2025.

Costs of IPR&D projects acquired as part of an asset acquisition that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred, and therefore, a charge of $28.0 million was recognized in research and development (“R&D”) expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Also effective January 8, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Perspective to transfer the Somerset Facility and the associated assets at the Somerset Facility for $8.0 million. The transfer of the sublease and completion of the asset sale occurred on March 1, 2024 at which time the Company had no further continuing legal obligations related to the lease. See Note 7, “Property, Plant and Equipment, Net” to these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

On June 14, 2024, Perspective effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, after which the Company held 11,677,339 shares of Perspective’s common stock.

Exclusive License for Radiopharm Theranostics Limited

On June 15, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Radiopharm to acquire all of Radiopharm’s rights to two licensed preclinical assets for an upfront payment of $2.0 million. The Company acquired global exclusive rights to both a leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15 (“LRRC15”)-targeted monoclonal antibody and to a Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (“TROP2”)-targeted nanobody. LRRC15, which is also known as LNTH-2403, is a potential first-in-class, highly specific monoclonal antibody radio-conjugate with both Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of osteosarcoma. The agent is designed to target the surrounding tumor micro-environment cells expressing the protein potentially treating a broad range of cancers. The TROP2-targeted nanobody radio-conjugate, which is also known as LNTH-2404, is designed to target TROP2, an intracellular calcium signal transducer that is overexpressed in various types of adenocarcinomas with minimal expression in normal tissues and is associated with tumor aggressiveness, poor prognosis and drug resistance.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company assumed the underlying license agreements related to the two preclinical assets, together with their respective milestone and royalty payment obligations. The Company could pay up to an additional $20.0 million in milestone payments upon achievement of specified regulatory milestones. The Company could also pay up to an additional $6.5 million in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual commercial sales thresholds in the event the Company pursues commercialization, as well as royalty payments for commercial sales. Costs of IPR&D projects acquired as part of an asset acquisition that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred, and therefore, a charge of $2.0 million was recognized in R&D expenses in 2024 related to the Radiopharm transaction.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company purchased 149,625,180 Radiopharm Shares at the fair market offering price of approximately $0.03 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.0 million. In January 2025, the Company purchased an additional 133,333,333 Radiopharm Shares at the fair market offering price of approximately $0.04 per share, for $5.0 million in the aggregate. At June 30, 2025, the Company held 282,958,513 Radiopharm Shares, which represents approximately 12.0% of Radiopharm Shares outstanding. Since the Company holds less than 20% of the outstanding Radiopharm Shares, it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Radiopharm. See Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” for more information on the Company’s investment in Radiopharm.

Acquisition of NAV-4694

On June 18, 2024, the Company acquired Meilleur, including its asset NAV-4694, an investigational late-stage F-18-labeled PET imaging agent that targets beta amyloids in Alzheimer’s disease. The Company determined that upon review of the Meilleur acquisition, the transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination and is therefore treated as an asset acquisition.

The Company made an upfront payment of approximately $32.9 million to the Meilleur Stockholders on June 18, 2024, and paid an additional $10.0 million in August 2024 after the successful completion of a technology transfer. The Company could pay up to an additional $43.0 million in milestone payments upon achievement of specified U.S. regulatory milestones related to NAV-4694 and $4.0 million in remaining research milestones upon achievement of specified clinical studies at academic institutions. Additionally, in May 2025, the Company paid AstraZeneca AB (“AstraZeneca”) a $10.0 million one-time, non-refundable upfront payment to reduce the future commercial royalty obligations owed to AstraZeneca, pursuant to a NAV-4694 license agreement between AstraZeneca and Meilleur.

Research revenue is derived from existing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions that use NAV-4694 in clinical trials. Additionally, the Company could pay the Meilleur Stockholders up to double-digit royalty payments for research revenue and commercial sales.

RM2 Asset Purchase

On July 3, 2024, the Company acquired from Life Molecular Imaging, Inc. ("Life Molecular") the global rights to RM2, a gastrin-releasing peptide receptor-targeting agent, including the associated novel, clinical-stage radiotherapeutic and radiodiagnostic pair, referred to as 177Lu-DOTA-RM2 and 68Ga-DOTA-RM2, for an upfront payment of $35.0 million plus a $1.0 million payment made prior to the acquisition (the “RM2 Asset Purchase”). In addition, in March 2025, the Company paid a $5.4 million milestone payment related to regulatory activities. The Company could pay up to an additional €77.5 million in regulatory milestone payments upon achievement of clinical trial thresholds and approvals in different regions, plus royalties. On July 21, 2025, the Company acquired Life Molecular pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2025, with Life Medical Group Limited (the “Seller”) and Life Healthcare Group Holdings Limited (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the completion of this acquisition, the Company entered into a Deed of Amendment and Restatement (the “Amendment”) to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to deliver the consideration for the RM2 Asset Purchase to the Seller, rather than to Life Molecular (which was the original party to the agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased the RM2 license). The Company could pay the Seller up to €280.0 million in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual commercial sales threshold of RM2 in the event the Company pursues commercialization.

Costs of IPR&D projects acquired as part of an asset acquisition that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred, and therefore, charges of $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $36.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were recognized in R&D expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the RM2 Asset Purchase. No such expenses were incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Global rights are exclusive for therapeutic fields in all countries and diagnostic fields in the Americas and co-exclusive with Life Molecular for diagnostic fields outside of the Americas.
