NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNTH) (Lantheus), an established leader and fully integrated provider committed to innovative imaging diagnostics, targeted therapeutics and artificial intelligence solutions to find, fight and follow serious medical conditions, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

The Company’s worldwide revenue for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $102.1 million, compared with $88.5 million for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 15.3% from the prior year period.

The Company’s third quarter 2021 GAAP net loss was $13.4 million, or $0.20 per fully diluted share, as compared to GAAP net loss of $6.4 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2020.

The Company’s third quarter 2021 adjusted fully diluted earnings per share were $0.08, as compared to $0.04 for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 127.4% from the prior year period.

Lastly, net cash provided by operating activities was $4.3 million for the third quarter 2021. Free Cash Flow was $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, representing a decrease of approximately $2.9 million from the prior year period.

“We delivered a strong quarter, with revenue up 15% year-over-year, highlighted by the robust adoption of PYLARIFY, the first and only commercially available PSMA PET imaging agent,” said Mary Anne Heino, President and CEO. “Although COVID-19 continued to impact some aspects of our business, we were able to grow our three largest products – DEFINITY, TechneLite and PYLARIFY. We look forward to driving sustainable growth across our portfolio of diagnostic and therapeutic solutions as we find, fight and follow diseases to deliver better patient outcomes.”

“We are pleased with the first full quarter of PYLARIFY sales and continue to invest in our commercial launch, including in manufacturing capacity, to meet the increasing demand for this game changing product. We completed the build-out of our commercial infrastructure, which represents the industry’s largest PSMA PET-dedicated sales and market access teams,” said Paul Blanchfield, Chief Commercial Officer. “We remain focused on fostering customer adoption and expanding our geographic and market access coverage in service of our customers and the U.S. Prostate Cancer community.”

Outlook

The Company updates its guidance for full year 2021 and offers the following guidance for the fourth quarter.

    Q4 Guidance Issued November 4, 2021   Previous Guidance Issued July 28, 2021
Q4 FY 2021 Revenue   $110 million – $115 million   N/A
Q4 FY 2021 Adjusted Diluted EPS   $0.15 – $0.18   N/A
    FY Guidance Updated November 4, 2021   FY Guidance Issued July 28, 2021
FY 2021 Revenue   $405 million – $410 million   $395 million – $402 million
FY 2021 Adjusted Diluted EPS   $0.40 – $0.43   $0.38 – $0.42

On a forward-looking basis, the Company does not provide GAAP income per common share guidance or a reconciliation of adjusted fully diluted EPS to GAAP income per common share because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty business development and acquisition related expenses, purchase accounting fair value adjustments (including liability accruals relating to the contingent value rights issued as part of the Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. acquisition), and any one-time, non-recurring charges. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. As a result, it is the Company’s view that a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted fully diluted EPS on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income and its line components; adjusted net income per share – fully diluted; and free cash flow.

Management uses these and other non-GAAP measures internally for evaluation of the performance of the business, including the allocation of resources and the evaluation of results relative to employee performance compensation targets. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Synthetik Applied Technologies LLC announces development of UrbanScale – a modeling platform for the prediction, characterization, and quantification of extreme urban heat

Published

synthetik-applied-technologies-llc-announces-development-of-urbanscale-–-a-modeling-platform-for-the-prediction,-characterization,-and-quantification-of-extreme-urban-heat

AUSTIN, Texas and LONDON, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Synthetik Applied Technologies announces the development of UrbanScale, a tool to model and predict effects of extreme heat in urban areas, through a project funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). The physical characteristics of urban areas amplify heat effects resulting in what are known as urban heat islands — areas where surface temperatures are much higher than their surroundings. The UrbanScale tool addresses this climate peril with sophisticated analytic tools based on physics informed neural networks and cutting-edge machine learning to predict urban heat and help better understand and mitigate the risks associated with these extreme heat events. As a result of climate change, these events are expected to increase, impacting both the people that live in urban areas and the infrastructure on which they depend.

The UrbanScale platform shows significant promise to provide data on the severity of heat islands and their effects to better understand how they impact human health, energy use and damage to physical infrastructure. This information will provide a step-change in capability for government agencies, urban planners, and transportation authorities to direct efforts for mitigation and intervention. In particular, inclusion of demographic information into data pipelines will allow understanding of how urban heat effects may impact vulnerable or disadvantaged populations. Integration with climate forecasts and models will also provide unprecedented capabilities for forecasting risk associated with climate change.
Josh Hatfield, Director of Research and Development at Synthetik, said:
‘We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to study such an important issue. Extreme heat is already the largest cause of weather-related fatalities in the US, and climate change will only increase the importance of understanding heat in urban environments. Helping to meet that challenge fits directly into Synthetik’s mission.’
Synthetik COO Tim Brewer commented:
‘The UrbanScale tool will allow both our government and insurance partners to better characterize the risk of extreme heat in urban centers and promises to deliver critical insight on the way these events impact energy demands. We look forward to exploring its wide-ranging applications.’
Synthetik plans further development of UrbanScale with NOAA and other partners in the public and private sector.

ZUG, Switzerland and MUNICH, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — With huge amounts of personal data being collected every day, privacy concerns are escalating as the impact of data breaches become more costly. The need to address the problems created by the existing data economy have never been greater. By empowering users to reclaim control, Dwinity aims to unlock an enormous amount of potential for personal data to enhance various industries like healthcare, insurance, and finance.

About Dwinity
Dwinity’s mission is to give power back to users and to create a thriving data economy in which information asymmetry is finally removed. Dwinity enables a decentralized data economy as well as creates a data ownership driven ecosystem for storage, analysis, exchange, and commercialization of sensitive personal data.
The three components of Dwinity are:
Data control: Decentralized data spaces for decentralized data storage which provides true data sovereignty and enables users to decide with whom data is shared.Data Gold: Decentralized AI tools for each data space have the capability to unlock the full potential of data via sophisticated analysis.Data Cash: A fair marketplace with automated data value analysis, allowing for tangible income for data owners at lower costs and completely anonymous.Dwinity is presently closing its initial seed round at USD 3 MN – funds which will be used for the development of the initial prototypes to hit the market already in 2024.
About Nillion
Nillion is humanity’s first Blind Computer. It is powered by a decentralized network of nodes that enables “Blind Computation” through the coordination and orchestration of privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) such as multi-party computation (MPC), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP). Nillion believes Blind Computation will become the internet’s base layer for all private data as PETs continue to mature. Nillion has attracted a notable initial cohort of Blind Computation builders across AI, DeFi, medical data, custody, wallets, global identity, messaging and more.
The Nillion development company, Nilogy, was incubated by CoinList’s seed program. Nilogy’s Founding CTO was the Founding Engineer of Uber (Conrad Whelan), the Chief Strategy Officer was the Founding CMO of Hedera Hashgraph (Andrew Masanto), the Chief Business Officer is the Founder of Indiegogo (Slava Rubin), the General Counsel was the Associate General Counsel of Coinbase (Lindsay Danas Cohen), along with builders hailing from Consensys, LayerZero, Polygon and Google.
“This is a major step on our way to building the leading ecosystem for sensitive data together with one of the top players in the market for the handling of such valuable data. We are looking forward to the cooperation which will add significant trust and competence to both initiatives”, said Peter Koenig, CEO of Dwinity.
