Risks Related to Our Portfolio of Commercial Products
Current report
Our ability to grow PYLARIFY as a commercial product is dependent on (A) the ability of positron emission tomography (“PET”) manufacturing facilities (“PMFs”) to manufacture PYLARIFY to meet product demand, including ensuring that PYLARIFY is available at the specific time of day preferred by the end-user, (B) our ability to maintain adequate coding, coverage and payment for PYLARIFY, (C) our ability to promote PYLARIFY to customers and to maintain PYLARIFY as the most utilized prostate-specific membrane antigen (“PSMA”) PET imaging agent, which has been impacted by the expiration of transitional pass-through payment status (“TPT Status”) on December 31, 2024, (D) whether and when a potential generic version of PYLARIFY may enter the market and (E) our ability to clinically and commercially differentiate PYLARIFY from an increasing number of potentially competitive products.
Current report
To manufacture PYLARIFY, we assembled and qualified a nationwide network of PMFs with radioisotope-producing cyclotrons that make F-18, which has a 110-minute half-life, so PYLARIFY is manufactured and distributed rapidly to end-users. Because each of the PMFs manufacturing these products is deemed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to be a separate manufacturing site, each has to be separately approved by the FDA. Although PYLARIFY is broadly available across the U.S., we continue to seek qualification for additional PMFs in 2025 and can give no assurance that the FDA will continue to approve PMFs in accordance with our expansion plans to meet product demand or that PYLARIFY will be available at the specific time of day preferred by the end-users or that our expansion plans accurately predict demand growth. To the extent that PYLARIFY is not available at preferred times, end users have, in some instances, switched to available competitive products. If FDA approval of manufacturing sites is delayed or withdrawn or if FDA requirements relating to site approval change impacting our ability to meet demand for PYLARIFY or end users scheduling needs or if we invest to extend our PMF network and demand does not grow to meet the expanded capacity, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would be adversely affected.
Current report
Obtaining adequate coding, coverage, and payment for PYLARIFY is critical, including not only coverage from Medicare, Medicaid and other government payors, as well as private payors, but also appropriate payment levels to adequately cover our customers’ costs of using PYLARIFY in PET/computed tomography (“CT”) imaging procedures. The Healthcare Procedure Coding System code for PYLARIFY, which enables streamlined billing, went into effect as of January 1, 2022. PYLARIFY also had TPT Status from January 1, 2022 until December 31, 2024, which enabled traditional Medicare to provide an incremental payment for PET/CT scans performed with PYLARIFY in the hospital outpatient setting. After expiry of TPT Status, diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, such as, PYLARIFY, historically would not have been separately reimbursed in the hospital outpatient setting but rather would be bundled into the facility payment a hospital receives for a PET/CT imaging procedure, and the facility payment may not have adequately covered the total cost of the procedure with the diagnostic radiopharmaceutical for all hospitals. In November 2024, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) released the final rule for its calendar year 2025 Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (the “CMS 2025 OPPS Rule”). The CMS 2025 OPPS Rule became effective on January 1, 2025, pursuant to which previously packaged diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals are now “unbundled” with payments being made separately for any diagnostic radiopharmaceutical with a per day cost greater than $630 based on their mean unit cost (“MUC”). For approximately 20% of traditional Medicare fee-for-service (“FFS”) patients in the hospital outpatient setting, these changes enable hospitals that use innovative diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, including PYLARIFY, to continue to be paid separately by CMS following the expiry of TPT Status at a rate that reflects MUC. The calendar year 2025 payment rate for PYLARIFY is based on MUC and is less than the Average Sales Price (“ASP”)-based amount that was paid during TPT Status. Although PYLARIFY continues to be paid separately, other competitive PSMA PET imaging agents continue to have TPT Status after December 31, 2024 and hospital use of those products, for the approximately 20% of traditional Medicare FFS patients in the hospital outpatient setting, generally will be paid separately based on ASP plus six percent rather than on MUC. In July 2025, CMS released the proposed rule for its calendar year 2026 Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (the “CMS 2026 Proposed OPPS Rule”). In the CMS 2026 Proposed OPPS Rule, CMS stated that it continues to believe ASP data available from manufacturers generally is insufficient as a basis for determining payment and that it is seeking comments on how CMS can ensure more consistent, validated, and universal reporting. We have reported and continue to report ASP for PYLARIFY, have engaged with CMS on th…

Current report
Growth of PYLARIFY is also dependent on our ability to promote PYLARIFY to customers, to clinically and commercially differentiate PYLARIFY from other products on the market, to enter into and realize the benefits of strategic contracts with customers and to maintain PYLARIFY as the most utilized PSMA PET imaging agent in an increasingly competitive environment in which other PSMA PET imaging agents have been approved, for which discounts related to those other agents have been offered to customers and for which TPT Status may be available. PYLARIFY currently competes with three commercially available Ga-68-based PSMA PET imaging agents, two from Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited and one from Novartis AG and an F-18 PSMA PET imaging agent from Blue Earth Diagnostics Ltd. (“Blue Earth”), as well as other non-PSMA PET imaging agents. The potential for future generic entrants to the market due to the expiry of PYLARIFY’s new chemical entity exclusivity period in 2026 could also generate increased competition for PYLARIFY. Growth and revenue contribution from PYLARIFY will also depend on our ability to clinically differentiate PYLARIFY from competitive products so that customers continue to choose PSMA PET with PYLARIFY for appropriate patients because of its clinical differentiation and despite the loss of TPT Status and a potential economic difference that could result for the approximately 20% of traditional Medicare FFS patients in the hospital outpatient setting based on the CMS 2025 OPPS Rule, including through flexible and dependable access to PYLARIFY nationally, a best-in-class customer experience and continued promotion and education regarding PYLARIFY’s clinical and commercial attributes. Our ability to negotiate and realize the benefits from strategic contracts is also key to our ability to maintain and expand market share. Despite these efforts, we have seen net price compression and lost market share to certain competitors that have later approved products with TPT Status at a time when PYLARIFY’s TPT Status has expired, and we may experience further net price compression or lose market share to future competitive products due to reimbursement status as well as due to the impact of any potential generic entrant to the market. Such loss of market share could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Current report
Our success in growing PYLARIFY also depends, in part, on our successfully establishing the use of PYLARIFY for new patient populations, such as patients with favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer, and potentially for updates to the label, including for patient selection for PSMA-targeted therapeutics. For example, we are conducting a clinical trial to determine whether PYLARIFY can detect the presence or absence of additional prostate cancer lesions in patients with favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer, as well as how it may change the patient’s intended management, but cannot predict whether the outcome of this clinical trial will support such a use of PYLARIFY. Similarly, we believe the approval of PLUVICTO for the treatment of adult patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (“mCRPC”) created a new addressable market for the use of PSMA PET imaging in patient selection for PSMA-targeted therapy. We can give no assurances as to how current clinical practice may evolve. To the extent we are unsuccessful in establishing the use of PYLARIFY in new patient populations, such lack of success could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Current report
We may not, or may take longer to, realize the expected benefits and opportunities related to, investments we have made to develop our new formulation of our PSMA PET Imaging Agent.
Current report
On August 6, 2025, we announced that the FDA had accepted our New Drug Application (“NDA”) for a new formulation of our F-18 PSMA PET imaging agent, filed by our affiliate Aphelion, and that the FDA set an action date goal of March 6, 2026 under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”). The new formulation was designed to optimize the manufacturing process and increase batch size of the F-18 PSMA PET imaging agent by approximately 50%. If the NDA is approved, we plan to work closely with clinicians and PMF sites to ensure a smooth rollout of the new formulation, including providing clear guidance on ordering, handling, and clinical use to support continuity of care for patients, and we plan to apply for CMS reimbursement for the new formulation, including obtaining three years of TPT Status; however, we can provide no assurance that the new formulation will be approved by the FDA, that we will meet our timeline for our planned rollout, or that we will obtain TPT Status.

Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Financial Results
Current report
Our recent acquisitions, dispositions and other future strategic transactions may disrupt our ongoing business and create distractions for our management. Additionally, the risks related to these transactions, including the risk that we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our operations, the risk that we are unable to complete dispositions on the proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all, or are unable to realize the anticipated benefits that each transaction is predicted to bring, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Current report
As a part of our growth strategy, we have made and may continue to make selected acquisitions of complementary businesses, such as our recent acquisitions of Life Molecular Imaging Ltd. (“Life Molecular”) in July 2025 and Evergreen Theragnostics, Inc. (“Evergreen”) in April 2025. In addition, as part of our broader strategy, in May 2025, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to sell our single-photon emission computerized tomography (“SPECT”) business to SHINE Technologies, LLC (“SHINE”). These transactions, in addition to advancing our existing pipeline and focusing our operations, create multiple competing interests that are complex and time-consuming, which may distract our management and disrupt our ongoing business.
Current report
Our completed and any potential future acquisitions involve numerous risks and operational, financial, and managerial challenges, including the following, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations:
Current report
Coordinating or consolidating geographically separate organizations and integrating personnel with different business backgrounds and corporate cultures;
Current report
Integrating previously autonomous departments, including those in accounting and administrative functions;
Current report
Integrating financial information and management systems;
Current report
The pace of our acquisition activity and the related diversion of already limited resources and management and other personnel time;
Current report
Difficulties in integrating new operations, technologies, products, and personnel;
Current report
Inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies;
Current report
Lack of synergies, if synergies are anticipated, or the inability to realize expected synergies and cost-savings;
Current report
Underperformance of any acquired technology, product candidate, or business relative to our expectations and the price we paid;
Current report
Managing the risks of entering markets or types of businesses in which we have limited or no direct experience;
Current report
The potential loss of key employees and strategic partners of acquired companies; and
Current report
Risks associated with acquiring intellectual property, including potential disputes regarding acquired companies’ intellectual property.
Current report
In addition, the successful integration of acquired businesses requires significant efforts and expense across all operational areas, including research and development, manufacturing, sales and marketing, finance, legal, and information technologies. There can be no assurance that any of our acquisitions will be successful or will be, or will become or remain, profitable. Our failure to successfully address the foregoing risks may prevent us from achieving the anticipated benefits from any acquisition in a reasonable time frame, or at all.
Current report
Further, the pending disposition of our SPECT business to SHINE is subject to customary closing conditions. Such closing conditions may be time consuming, and we may not be able to complete the disposition on the proposed terms or in the anticipated timeline, or at all. Additionally, there may be unforeseen expenses related to this divestiture, or we may fail to realize the expected benefits of this transaction.
Current report
We may be unable to successfully integrate Life Molecular’s Alzheimer’s disease radiodiagnostic commercial infrastructure and grow the appropriate use of Neuraceq to detect beta-amyloid plaques in patients evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease.
Current report
We completed our acquisition of Life Molecular on July 21, 2025, which included the acquisition of Neuraceq, a globally approved F-18 PET imaging agent used to detect beta-amyloid plaques in patients evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease, as well as the addition of an Alzheimer’s disease radiodiagnostic commercial infrastructure, advanced research and development capabilities, and an established international footprint.
Current report
If we are not able to continue to grow Neuraceq sales, which depend, in part, on the expansion of the Alzheimer’s disease therapeutic market, our ability to integrate Life Molecular’s commercial infrastructure, our ability to expand the PMF network where Neuraceq is currently produced in the U.S. and our ability to leverage both the PMF network in place for PYLARIFY in the U.S. and the network in place for Neuraceq to optimize the availability of both products across the U.S., we may not be able to continue to grow the revenue and cash flow of our business, which could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Current report
Repurchases by us of our common stock may affect the value of our common stock.
Current report
We have from time to time engaged in repurchase programs of our common stock. In July 2025, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a program to repurchase up to $400.0 million of shares of our common stock through December 31, 2027, via open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or pursuant to trades intending to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. Such repurchases could increase, or prevent a decrease in, the market price of our common stock, although there can be no assurance that an increase, or prevention of a decrease, would occur, and stockholders could prefer that we allocate our capital in a different manner, which could negatively impact the market price of our common stock.

Previous wording
Potential generic competitors may enter the market as a result of regulatory exclusivity expiration of PYLARIFY
Current wording
Potential generic competitors may seek to enter the market as a result of regulatory exclusivity expiration of PYLARIFY
Previous wording
PYLARIFY currently has six Orange Book-listed patents, the last of which expires in 2037. PYLARIFY also holds a five-year new chemical entity (“NCE”) regulatory exclusivity, which expires on May 26, 2026. As described further under Part I, Item 1.,“Business - Regulatory Matters-Hatch Waxman Act,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 26, 2025, the FDA is allowed to accept an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) or 505(b)(2) application one year prior to the NCE expiration date under certain circumstances, specifically, from a generic challenger that includes a “Paragraph IV” Certification against each of the six patents we have listed in the Orange Book. If a Paragraph IV Certification is made, we could elect to pursue Hatch-Waxman litigation and trigger the 30-month stay described under Part I, Item 1., “Business - Intellectual Property Matters – Patent-related Aspects of Regulatory Matters,” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025, during which period the FDA would be prohibited from granting full approval to the challenger’s application until the earlier of the expiration of the 30-month stay, the generic challenger’s successful invalidation (or proving non-infringement) of our six Orange Book-listed patents or until the lawsuit is settled. Assuming a full 30-month stay, the earliest possible date for a generic of PYLARIFY to launch is November of 2027, but only if the generic challenger is successful in either invalidating all of our Orange Book-listed patents or proving non-infringement of all of our Orange Book-listed patents during the Hatch-Waxman litigation or otherwise launches at risk after the 30-month stay expires and upon FDA approval while litigation is still ongoing.

If a Paragraph IV Certification is made, we could elect to pursue Hatch-Waxman litigation and trigger the 30-month stay described under Part I, Item 1., “Business - Intellectual Property Matters – Patent-related Aspects of Regulatory Matters,” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025, during which period the FDA would be prohibited from granting full approval to the challenger’s application. As of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q, we have not received any notice of a Paragraph IV Certification, but we can give no assurance that we will not receive notice of a Paragraph IV Certification in the future. If an ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant were to file prior to the expiration of our NCE regulatory exclusivity, and we were to timely sue pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act, then the automatic stay of FDA approval could run until November 26, 2028, calculated as 30 months from the NCE expiration date (May 26, 2026), unless prior to such date the generic challenger successfully invalidates or proves non-infringement of all six Orange Book-listed patents or the lawsuit is otherwise settled. If litigation is ongoing in November 2028, then any generic launch would be at risk of the litigation determining that the generic challenger was infringing one or more of our patents Patent litigation is complex and can be protracted and expensive, so if we were to receive such a notice and to challenge the applicant, this could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Previous wording
A significant portion of our patient volume is derived from U.S. government healthcare programs, principally Medicare, which are highly regulated and subject to frequent and substantial changes. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the “Healthcare Reform Act”) substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. The law contains a number of provisions that affect coverage and reimbursement of drug products and medical imaging procedures in which our drug products are used and/or that could potentially reduce the aggregate number of diagnostic medical imaging procedures performed in the U.S. Subsequently, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 significantly revised the methodology for updating the Medicare physician fee schedule. In 2017, Congress enacted legislation that effectively eliminated the Healthcare Reform Act’s “individual mandate” beginning in 2019. Congress continues to consider other healthcare reform legislation. There is no assurance that the Healthcare Reform Act, as currently enacted or as amended in the future, will not adversely affect our business and financial results, and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative, judicial or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform will affect our business.

In 2017, Congress enacted legislation that effectively eliminated the Healthcare Reform Act's “individual mandate” beginning in 2019. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), which will reduce existing patient coverage under Medicaid. The expiration of certain subsidies for Marketplace coverage currently in place under the Healthcare Reform Act at the end of 2025 may also cause material coverage losses. The OBBBA further restricts Medicaid financing, which will decrease federal funds available to state Medicaid agencies and may result in reduced state Medicaid agency reimbursement rates. Congress continues to consider other healthcare reform legislation. There is no assurance that the Healthcare Reform Act, as currently enacted or as amended in the future, will not adversely affect our business and financial results, and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative, judicial or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform will affect our business.
Previous wording
In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Healthcare Reform Act was enacted. The Budget Control Act of 2011 and subsequent Congressional actions includes provisions to reduce the federal deficit. These provisions have resulted in the imposition of 2% reductions in Medicare payments to providers, which went into effect on April 1, 2013 and will remain in effect through fiscal year 2030. The imposition of the 2% payment adjustment had been suspended through March 31, 2022 and went into effect as of April 1, 2022. Any significant spending reductions affecting Medicare, Medicaid or other publicly funded or subsidized health programs that may be implemented and/or any significant taxes or fees that may be imposed on us, as part of any broader deficit reduction effort or legislative replacement to the Budget Control Act, could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The imposition of the 2% payment adjustment had been suspended through March 31, 2022 and went into effect as of April 1, 2022. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that, absent future action, the OBBBA will lead to $490 billion in Medicare cuts from 2027 to 2034.

Previous wording
The full impact on our business of healthcare reforms and other new laws, or changes in existing laws, the interpretations of those laws, or changes to the way regulations and regulatory guidance has been implemented, amended and interpreted, is uncertain. Nor is it clear whether additional legislative or executive branch changes will be adopted or how those changes would affect our industry in general or our ability to successfully commercialize our products or develop or commercialize new products. For example, recent government actions, including reductions in staff and department reorganizations, including those at the FDA, could adversely affect the timing of anticipated regulatory actions or their outcome, and could change historical practices relating to the application or interpretation of regulations relevant to our operations in ways that could have an adverse effect on our business. It is unclear exactly how changes implemented by the U.S. Government will affect the U.S. healthcare system, and what, if any, impact this will have on our business.
