Basis of Presentation (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2017

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lantheus Holdings, Inc. and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017 or any future period.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2017. Certain immaterial amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

Manufacturing Concentrations

The Company currently relies on Jubilant HollisterStier (“JHS”) as its sole source manufacturer of DEFINITY, Neurolite, Cardiolite and evacuation vials for TechneLite. The Company has on-going development and technology transfer activities for a next generation DEFINITY product with Samsung BioLogics (“SBL”) located in Songdo, South Korea, approximately 20 miles southwest of Seoul, but can give no assurances as to when those technology transfer activities will be completed and when the Company will begin to receive supply of a next generation DEFINITY product from SBL. In addition, those activities could be adversely affected by on-going political and military tensions on the Korean peninsula.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a description of recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements:



Standard	Description	Effective Date for Company	Effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting	This ASU clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share–based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, vesting conditions or classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The new guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 for all entities. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.	January 1, 2018	The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and related additional amendments ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, ASU 2017-05, ASU 2017-10	This ASU and related amendments affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The guidance in this ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a set of disclosure requirements that will provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a reporting organization’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: • A full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or • A modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures).	January 1, 2018	The Company has established an implementation team which includes third-party specialists to assist in the evaluation and implementation of the new standard. The Company has completed its assessment of the impact of the standards on its contract portfolio by reviewing the Company’s current accounting policies and practices and identifying potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard to its revenue contracts. The Company has categorized its customers into multiple customer types and assessed significant customer arrangements within those customer types. The Company is currently in the process of formalizing its conclusion. At this time, the Company does not anticipate a significant impact to its revenue upon adoption of the new standard. The Company, in part due to the limited anticipated impact, will utilize the modified retrospective approach of adopting the ASU. In addition, during 2017 the Company has begun to identify and implement, if necessary, appropriate changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard.
