Current report
On March 6, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) approved PYLARIFY TruVu (piflufolastat F18), a new formulation of our F-18 PSMA PET imaging agent. PYLARIFY TruVu is designed to enhance product stability at higher radioactive concentrations, supporting more efficient manufacturing and distribution, including the potential to increase batch sizes and enable certain manufacturing sites to reach more patients and serve broader geographic markets. PYLARIFY TruVu is expected to become commercially available beginning in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will be introduced on a rolling geographic basis, with the intent transition customers from PYLARIFY to PYLARIFY TruVu. It is anticipated that once a PMF site begins to supply PYLARIFY TruVu commercially, it will no longer supply PYLARIFY. We plan to work closely with clinicians and PET manufacturing facility (“PMF”) sites to support a smooth transition, including providing guidance on ordering, handling, and clinical use to support continuity of care. We also plan to pursue reimbursement for the new formulation from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), including seeking three years of transitional pass-through payment status (“TPT Status”). However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to complete the technology transfer across our PMF network for PYLARIFY TruVu or obtain FDA approval for each PMF site to manufacture PYLARIFY TruVu on our expected timeline or at all. Additionally, we may be unable to obtain adequate coding, coverage and payment, including TPT Status, for PYLARIFY TruVu. Furthermore, there is no assurance that any customer transition will occur on our expected timeline or that our customers will adopt PYLARIFY TruVu at all. If customers do not adopt PYLARIFY TruVu we may not be able to reintroduce PYLARIFY and we would then lose customers to competitors which would have an adverse effect on our business, results or operations, financial condition and cash flows. All of the risks as described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”in our Form 10-K with respect to our ability to continue to generate substantial revenue from PYLARIFY, as well as the risks associated with launching a product, also apply to PYLARIFY TruVu, and we can provide no assurances that the anticipated increase in batch size or other expected improvements associated with the design of the new formulation will be realized or be viewed in the market as differentiating factors.
Current report
We may not, or may take longer to, realize the expected benefits and opportunities related to, the POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (“POINT”) License Agreements, including PNT2003.
Current report
On December 20, 2022, we announced the closing of a set of strategic collaborations with an affiliate of POINT, in which we were granted a license to exclusive worldwide rights (excluding Japan, South Korea, China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), Singapore and Indonesia) to co-develop and commercialize POINT’s PNT2003 and PNT2002 product candidates (the “POINT License Agreements”). The expected benefits and opportunities related to the POINT License Agreements and related agreements for the supply of PNT2003 by POINT may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected due to, for example, challenges and uncertainties inherent in product research, development, manufacturing, regulatory approval, marketing and competition. In particular, activities under the POINT License Agreements may not result in viable products suitable for commercialization in a timely manner or at all, due to a variety of reasons, including any inability of the relevant parties to perform their commitments and obligations under the POINT License Agreements. The POINT License Agreements impose various development, regulatory filing, commercialization and other obligations on us, and require us to meet development timelines or to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize licensed products.
Current report
With respect to PNT2003, in March 2026, we received tentative approval of our Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) for PNT2003, which indicates that the FDA has completed its review of the ANDA and determined that it meets the requirements for approval. The timing of our launch will consider the following factors: the timing of final FDA approval, the expiration of the 30-month Hatch-Waxman stay and disposition of the related legal proceedings, as well as manufacturing and commercial strategy to ensure launch success, however, even if we do receive ANDA approval, all of the risks as described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K with respect to launching and successfully commercializing a radiopharmaceutical product as well as those related to our dependence on third parties for the manufacturing of products would apply to PNT2003.
Current report
In addition, we are also currently dependent on POINT to develop commercial product capacity and manufacture for both PNT2003 and PNT2002. Disagreements with POINT in the POINT License Agreements over proprietary rights, contract interpretation or the preferred course of product research, development, regulatory strategy or marketing, might cause delays in performance of the POINT License Agreements or termination of the POINT License Agreements, or might result in litigation or arbitration, which could be time-consuming and expensive.
Current report
Additionally, if we fail to comply with our obligations under the POINT License Agreements, then POINT may conclude that we have materially breached and may terminate one or both of the POINT License Agreements, in which event we may lose our rights to develop and market PNT2003 and PNT2002 or incur liability for damages.
Current report
The Phase 3 registrational clinical trial for PNT2002, known as the “SPLASH” study, reached 100% of prespecified overall survival events. The results of the readout were comparable to the previously reported 46% and 75% readouts and remain confounded by the overwhelming number of patients who crossed over within the study to receive PNT2002. While we continue to review the available PNT2002 data, we do not currently plan to pursue an NDA or further invest in this asset. As a result, we may never realize any future benefits from the related POINT License Agreement.
Current report
Any of the foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Current report
We may not receive the expected financial benefits from our sale of our single-photon emission computerized tomography (“SPECT”) business, and a failure to receive future and contingent payments could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
Current report
On January 1, 2026, as a result of the sale of the Company’s SPECT business pursuant to the Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement, by and among Lantheus Medical, Lantheus MI Canada, Inc., Lantheus EU Limited, and Illuminated Holdings, Inc. (“Illuminated”), SHINE SPECT, LLC, SHINE SPECT Medical Products, Ltd., and SHINE SPECT Limited (collectively referred to as “SHINE SPECT”), dated as of May 1, 2025 (the “SHINE SPECT Agreement”), we are entitled to receive future and contingent consideration, including (i) a seller note with a principal amount of $20.0 million (the “Seller Note”), which bears interest at 8.0% per year payable semi-annually (with up to half payable in-kind) and matures on the earlier of January 1, 2029 or completion of an initial public offering by Illuminated (a “SHINE IPO”), and which may be repaid earlier in certain circumstances, including in connection with a change in control or a material financing, as defined in the governing note agreement, and (ii) $20.0 million in cash on the earlier of January 1, 2029 or a SHINE IPO (the “Deferred Cash Purchase Price”), with an additional $5.0 million payable if the Deferred Cash Purchase Price is not paid by January 1, 2029, for a total of $25.0 million in cash to be paid no later than January 1, 2030. In addition, we may earn up to $30.0 million in a combination of cash and capital stock of Illuminated upon exceeding specified annual and cumulative revenue milestones of the SPECT business for each calendar year through December 31, 2027.
Current report
There can be no assurance that SHINE SPECT will have sufficient financial resources to make payments on the Seller Note or the Deferred Cash Purchase Price as they come due, or at all. The Seller Note is an unsecured obligation, and we do not have collateral protection in the event of non-payment, insolvency or other financial distress of the obligor. Further, the contingent consideration depends on the achievement of specified revenue milestones that may not be achieved in whole or in part, may take longer than we expect to be achieved, or may never be achieved, and the form of any contingent consideration may include equity rather than cash. If we do not receive some or all of these future and contingent payments, or if receipt of these amounts is delayed, disputed or otherwise not realized on the expected terms or timing, our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Portfolio of Commercial Products
Previous 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.
Previous 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 all or a portion of their use 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.
Previous 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 patients estimated to be impacted by changes in reimbursement 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, including a new PSMA PET imaging agent with TPT Status effective on October 1, 2025, and hospital use of those products, for the approximately 20% of patients with traditional Medicare fee-for-service (“FFS”) in the hospital outpatient setting, generally will be paid separately based on ASP plus six percent rather than on MUC, which could provide a financial incentive to use an imaging agent other than PYLARIFY. 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 determ…

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 Gallium-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 patients with traditional Medicare FFS 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 these or future competitive products due to reimbursement status due to the impact of any potential generic entrant to the market or the potential that additional rebates may be offered to customers, including when a PSMA PET imaging agent is purchased as one part of a broader portfolio of products. Such loss of market share could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Previous 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 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.
Previous report
We depend on some of our PMF partners to generate sales, accept, produce and deliver orders, collect payments and report related information for PYLARIFY.
Previous report
PYLARIFY is sold in the U.S. to hospitals, independent imaging centers and government facilities and sales are generated through an internal PYLARIFY sales team, as well as sales teams at some of our PMF partners. We generally do not use group purchasing arrangements to sell PYLARIFY and require each customer to enter into a contract directly with us or our PMF partners. Our ability to continue to successfully grow PYLARIFY depends, in part, on our ability, and the ability of some of our PMF partners on our behalf, to continue to enter into commercially beneficial arrangements directly with the hospitals, independent imaging centers and government facilities that we serve. Any delay or inability to enter into these arrangements, including our ability to negotiate favorable financial terms in these agreements, or if, despite favorable financial terms, the customers do not continue to purchase PYLARIFY, could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Previous report
We also depend on some of our PMF partners to accept, produce and deliver orders, invoice customers, collect payments and to report related information to us. To the extent our PMF partners are unsuccessful in generating sales, accepting, producing and delivering orders, invoicing customers, collecting payments or reporting to us, or where we are responsible, if we are unsuccessful in accepting orders, ensuring timely production and delivery of those orders by a PMF, or if invoices to customers or collection of payments is delayed, such an event could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We are in the process of transitioning responsibility for invoicing certain customers from a PMF partner to the Company. This transition includes potential risks, including risks from a disruption during the transition or our inability to seamlessly move from one invoicing system to the other. The transition will also require our customers to take certain actions to transition from the PMF to the Company when paying invoices which is out of our control. These risks, and other potential risks that we may not have accounted for as part of our transition planning, could result in delayed or inaccurate invoicing, loss of revenue, loss of customers or reputational harm which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Previous report
We and our PMF partners also use third-party software to accept orders placed by customers and to record shipping and administrative status of orders. We rely in part on information from third-party software and from our PMF partners in connection with how we report and collect payments for PYLARIFY. To the extent we are unable to accept orders or access, verify or reconcile data, such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Potential generic competitors may seek to enter the market as a result of regulatory exclusivity expiration of PYLARIFY
Previous report
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. 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.

Our ability to grow Neuraceq as a commercial product is dependent on (A) the ability of PMFs to manufacture Neuraceq to meet product demand, including ensuring that Neuraceq is available at the specific time of day preferred by the end-user, (B) our ability to maintain adequate coding, coverage and payment for Neuraceq, (C) our ability to promote Neuraceq to customers and (D) our ability to clinically and commercially differentiate Neuraceq from competitive products.
Previous report
Similar to PYLARIFY, Neuraceq is manufactured by a nationwide network of PMFs with radioisotope-producing cyclotrons that make F-18, which has a 110-minute half-life, so Neuraceq is manufactured and distributed rapidly to end-users, and each PMF manufacturing site has to be separately approved by the FDA. Currently, Neuraceq has a manufacturing footprint that is smaller than that of one of our competitors, and while we continue to seek qualification for additional PMFs in 2025 and 2026, we can give no assurance that additional PMFs will have the capacity to produce Neuraceq in addition to other products they may already produce, including other F-18-based products, the FDA will continue to approve PMFs in accordance with our expansion plans to meet product demand or that Neuraceq will be available at the specific time of day preferred by the end-users or that our expansion plans accurately predict demand growth. If production capacity is not available, or 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 Neuraceq 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.
Previous report
Maintaining adequate coding, coverage, and payment for Neuraceq 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 Neuraceq in PET/ CT imaging procedures. Neuraceq was approved by the FDA in 2014. For approximately 75% of patients in the hospital outpatient setting, Neuraceq is paid based on its MUC, however, other competitive imaging agents are currently being paid based on a higher MUC rate. While we have engaged with CMS to support the use of ASP instead of MUC, we can give no assurances that CMS will move to the use of ASP in the near term or that the availability of a higher MUC payment rate for other diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals will not continue to impact clinical decision making regarding which product to use for all patient populations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Previous report
Growth of Neuraceq is also dependent on our ability to promote Neuraceq to customers, to clinically and commercially differentiate Neuraceq from other products on the market, and to use our current relationships with our customers to introduce Neuraceq to those customers.
Previous report
Neuraceq currently competes with two commercially available F-18 beta-amyloid-targeting PET imaging agents from Eli Lilly and Co (“Lilly”) and GE HealthCare. Growth and revenue contribution from Neuraceq will also depend on our ability to clinically differentiate Neuraceq from competitive products so that customers choose Neuraceq for appropriate patients because of its clinical differentiation and despite the disparity in MUC payment rates for Neuraceq compared to other products for the approximately 75% of patients in the hospital outpatient setting. Certain currently approved therapeutic products in the U.S. require confirmation of the presence of amyloid beta pathology prior to initiating treatment. If the prescribing information for these products were to change it could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Previous 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 subsidiary Aphelion, and that the FDA set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) target action date of March 6, 2026. The new formulation was designed to optimize the manufacturing process and potentially 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. Even if we do receive NDA approval, all of the risks described above with respect to our ability to grow PYLARIFY as a commercial product would also apply to our new formulation of our PSMA PET imaging agent, and we can provide no assurances that the anticipated increase in batch size or other expected improvements associated with the design of the new formulation will be realized or be viewed in the market as differentiating factors.

Our just-in-time manufacturing of radiopharmaceutical products, including PYLARIFY and Neuraceq (which we acquired on July 21, 2025 as part of our acquisition of Life Molecular), relies on the reliability of our equipment and processes, the timely receipt of radioactive raw materials and the timely shipment of finished goods, and any disruption of our supply or distribution networks could have a negative effect on our business.
Previous report
Radiopharmaceutical products, including PYLARIFY, Neuraceq and our TechneLite generators, rely on radioisotopes with limited half-lives. As a result, we or our partners must manufacture, finish and distribute these products on a just-in-time basis, because the underlying radioisotope is in a constant state of decay. For example, the radioisotope used in PYLARIFY and Neuraceq is F-18, which has a 110 minute half-life, requiring that this product be manufactured and distributed within the same day to end-users. After being made on a cyclotron at a PMF, the F-18 is then combined with certain chemical ingredients in specially designed chemistry synthesis boxes to manufacture PYLARIFY or Neuraceq. The finished product is then quality control tested and transferred to a radiopharmacist who prepares and dispenses patient-specific doses from the final product. Similarly, with respect to our TechneLite generators, if we receive Mo-99 in the morning of a manufacturing day for TechneLite generators, then we will generally ship finished generators to customers by the end of the same business day. Shipment of generators may be by next day delivery services or by either ground or air custom logistics. Any delay in us receiving radioisotopes from suppliers or being able to have finished products delivered to customers because of weather or other unforeseen transportation issues could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Previous report
At the facility on our North Billerica campus, we manufacture TechneLite on an automated production line. As with all manufacturing facilities, equipment and infrastructure age and become subject to increasing maintenance and repair. If we or one of our PMF’s experience an event, including a labor dispute, natural disaster, fire, power outage, machinery breakdown, security problem, failure to meet regulatory requirements, product quality issue, technology transfer issue or other issue, we may be unable to manufacture the relevant products at previous levels or on the forecasted schedule, if at all. Due to the stringent regulations and requirements of the governing regulatory authorities regarding the manufacture of our products, we may not be able to quickly restart manufacturing at our facilities or at a PMF facility, or establish additional or replacement sources for certain products, components or materials.

We face significant competition in our business and may not be able to compete effectively.
Previous report
The markets for our products are highly competitive and continually evolving. Our principal competitors for our current commercial products and leading clinical development candidates include large, global companies that are more diversified than we are and that have substantial financial, manufacturing, sales and marketing, distribution and other resources:
Previous report
For PYLARIFY, our competitors currently include approved imaging agents from Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited, Novartis AG, and Blue Earth, a subsidiary of Bracco.
Previous report
For DEFINITY, our competitors currently include GE HealthCare and Bracco.
Previous report
For Neuraceq, our competitors currently include Lilly and GE HealthCare
Previous report
Any product candidates that we successfully develop and commercialize will compete with existing products and new products that may become available in the future, not only for customers but also for manufacturing resources, raw materials and, for our diagnostic imaging agents, PET scanner capacity. For example, for PNT2003, our principal competitors may include Novartis AG; ITM Radiopharma; Curium Pharma (“Curium”), and RayzeBio (acquired by Bristol Myers Squibb). For MK-6240 and NAV-4694, our principal competitors may include Lilly and GE HealthCare.
Previous report
We cannot anticipate the actions of our current or future competitors in the same or competing modalities, such as significant price reductions on products that are competitive with our own, the ability to offer a portfolio of products and offer price reductions across a portfolio, development of new products that are more cost-effective or have superior performance than our current products, potential future products or the introduction of generic versions of our proprietary products, the ability to secure better manufacturing locations or times for production of current or future products that limit the availability of necessary raw materials, production equipment or, for our diagnostic agents, scanning equipment. In addition, distributors of our products could attempt to shift end-users to competing diagnostic modalities and products, or bundle the sale of a portfolio of products, in either case to the detriment of our specific products. Our current or future products could be rendered obsolete or uneconomical as a result of these activities.
Previous report
Further, the radiopharmaceutical industry continues to evolve strategically, with several market participants recently acquired by larger companies that may have more significant resources than ours. In addition, the supply-demand dynamics of the industry are complex because of large market positions of some participants, legacy businesses, government subsidies (in particular, relating to the manufacture of radioisotopes), and group purchasing arrangements and there are often limited sources available for isotopes and raw materials used in the manufacturing of our product and product candidates. We cannot predict what impact new owners and new operators may have on the strategic decision-making of our competitors, customers and suppliers, and such decision-making could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Reforms to the U.S. healthcare system, including changes to policies, guidelines and practices of regulatory authorities, may adversely affect our business.
Previous report
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 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. 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 report
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. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that, absent future action, the OBBBA will lead to $490 billion in Medicare cuts from 2027 to 2034. 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.
Previous report
Further, changes in payor mix and reimbursement by private third-party payors may also affect our business. Rates paid by some private third-party payors are based, in part, on established physician, clinic and hospital charges and are generally higher than Medicare payment rates. Reductions in the amount of reimbursement paid for diagnostic medical imaging procedures, including the elimination of any additional payment such as TPT Status, and changes in the mix of our patients between non-governmental payors and government sponsored healthcare programs and among different types of non-government payor sources, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Previous report
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 impact this will have on our business. If the reforms made by the OBBBA are implemented and result in predicted coverage losses, these changes could reduce the overall number of diagnostic medical imaging procedures performed, reduce reimbursement rates, or both.
Previous report
Changes to management, including turnover in our leadership and senior management team, could have an adverse effect on our business.
Previous report
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant executive management changes, including the consolidation of roles and responsibilities. We recently announced the retirement of Brian Markison, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) effective December 31, 2025, and the appointment of Mary Anne Heino, the Chair of our Board of Directors (“Board”), to serve as interim CEO on that date. We also announced that our President, Paul Blanchfield, accepted a role with another company and is leaving the Company. We also have experienced and may continue to experience the departure and transition of other members of the leadership team.
Previous report
These changes in our management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives could disrupt our business and involve inherent risk. Any failure to find a timely and suitable replacement and ensure an effective transition within executive leadership, including the effective onboarding, assimilation, and retention of our management team and key employees, could hinder our strategic planning, business execution and future performance. In addition, executive leadership transition periods can be disruptive and may result in a loss of personnel with deep institutional or technical knowledge, or result in changes to business strategy or objectives, and may negatively impact our operations and relationships with employees and third-parties due to increased or unanticipated expenses, operational inefficiencies, uncertainty regarding changes in strategy, decreased employee morale and productivity, and increased turnover.
Previous report
Further, we have increased our dependency on the remaining members of our executive management team to facilitate a smooth transition in leadership roles. Our executive officers are at-will employees; as such, their employment with us could terminate at any time, and any such departure could be particularly disruptive in light of the recent leadership changes. If we are unable to mitigate these or other similar risks, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Previous report
We may be adversely affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors beyond our control.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (our “Form 10-K”), except as set forth below:
Previous wording
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 wording
We may not, or may take longer to, realize the expected benefits and opportunities related to PYLARIFY TruVu, our recently-approved new formulation of our prostate-specific membrane antigen (“PSMA”) positron emission tomography (“PET”) Imaging Agent.
Previous wording
In April 2025, we acquired Evergreen, including the rights to LNTH-2501. On October 30, 2025, we announced that the FDA had accepted our NDA for LNTH-2501 and has set a PDUFA target action date of March 29, 2026, but we can provide no assurance that LNTH-2501 will be approved by the FDA based on the data submitted or, if approved, that we will be successful in commercializing LNTH-2501.
Current wording
In April 2025, we acquired Evergreen, including the rights to LNTH-2501. On October 30, 2025, we announced that the FDA had accepted our New Drug Application (“NDA”) for LNTH-2501 and set a PDUFA target action date of March 29, 2026. On March 17, 2026, the FDA extended its review of the NDA, moving the PDUFA target action date to June 29, 2026, which will allow the FDA additional time to review and consider further manufacturing-related information. We can provide no assurance that LNTH-2501 will be approved by the FDA in the expected timeline or at all. If LNTH-2501 is approved, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in gaining post-approval market acceptance and adequate coding, coverage, and payment for LNTH-2501 or that our manufacturer will be able to successfully develop and scale the manufacturing capabilities to support the launch of LNTH-2501. Even if we do receive NDA approval, all of the risks as described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K with respect to launching a product would apply to LNTH-2501. Additionally, LNTH-2501 is a kit product with a supply chain that differs from that of our other commercial products, which may introduce additional operational complexity, coordination requirements, and sourcing and supply risks, and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully or timely launch LNTH-2501, achieve anticipated adoption, or realize expected commercial results.
