“The Trump administration is pursuing a two-fold strategy to reduce drug costs in the U.S. On the one hand, the Trump administration has threatened to impose significant tariffs on pharmaceutical manufacturers that do not adopt pricing policies such as most favored nation pricing, which would tie the price for drugs in the U.S. to the lowest price in a group of other countries. In response, multiple manufacturers have entered into confidential pricing agreements with the federal government. …”see in full comparison

A number of states have either implemented or are considering implementation of drug price transparency legislation. Requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturers under such laws include advance notice of planned price increases; reporting price increase amounts and factors considered in taking such increases; wholesale acquisition cost information disclosure to prescribers, purchasers, and state agencies; and new product notice and reporting. Other legislation establishes so-called prescription drug affordability boards that could impose price caps on specificdrugs.drugs, and at least one state board is imposing an upper payment limit. States are also seeking to implement general, across-the-board price caps for pharmaceuticals, or are seeking to regulate drug distribution. These state legislative measures could limit the price or payment for certaindrugs,drugsandoracould complicate the distribution of drugs. A number of states are authorized to impose civil monetary penalties or pursue other enforcement mechanisms against manufacturers who fail to comply with state law requirements, including the untimely, inaccurate, or incomplete reporting of drug pricing information under transparency obligations. Additional legislation in these areas imposing additional requirements on manufacturers, as well as penalties for noncompliance, could be introduced in the future. In addition, regional healthcare authorities and individual hospitals are increasingly using bidding procedures to determine what pharmaceutical products and which suppliers will be included in their prescription drug and other healthcare programs.

Investing in our securities involves uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. You should carefully consider each of the following risks and all of the other information contained in this Report and in other documents that we file with, or furnish to, the SEC before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. Statements in this section are based on our beliefs and opinions regarding matters that could materially adversely affect us in the future and are not representations as to whether such matters have or have not occurred previously. Further, the risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face and should not be considered a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties that we face or may face in the future. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially affect our business.
Sales of our treprostinil-based therapies — Tyvaso DPI, nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, and Orenitram — comprise the vast majority of our revenues. Substantially decreased sales of any of these products could have a material adverse impact on our operations. A wide variety of events, such as withdrawal of regulatory approvals or substantial changes in prescribing practices or dosing patterns, many of which are described in other risk factors below, could cause sales of these products to materially decline, or to grow more slowly than expected. Our net revenues could also be negatively impacted by pricing pressure as a result of competitive challenges, the IRA, and other drug price reduction initiatives. The availability of generic versions of our products has negatively impacted our revenues, and these and additional generic products launched in the future may continue to do so. The approval and launch of new therapies may materially negatively impact sales of our current and potential new products. Sales may decrease if any third party that manufactures, markets, distributes, or sells our commercial products cannot do so satisfactorily, or we cannot manage our internal manufacturing processes. Finally, if demand for our Tyvaso products does not meet our expectations, the revenue opportunity for our treprostinil products could be significantly lower than we expect.
To obtain approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies to sell new products, or to expand the product labeling for our existing products, or to launch new delivery devices for our existing products, we must conduct clinical trials demonstrating that our products are safe and effective. Regulators have substantial discretion over the approval process. Regulators may require us to amend ongoing trials or perform additional trials, which have in the past and could in the future result in significant delays and additional costs and may be unsuccessful. Delays and costs associated with regulatory requirements to change or add trials have sometimes caused us to discontinue efforts to develop a particular product, and may do so again in the future. If our clinical trials are not successful, or we fail to address identified deficiencies adequately, we will not obtain required approvals to market the new product or new indication. We cannot predict with certainty how long it will take, or how much it will cost, to complete necessary clinical trials or obtain regulatory approvals of our current or future products. The time and cost needed to complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approvals varies by product, indication, and country. In addition, failure to obtain, or delays in obtaining, regulatory approval has in the past and could in the future require us to recognize impairment charges.
Our clinical trials have been and in the future may be discontinued, delayed, canceled, or disqualified for various reasons, including: (1) pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which initially caused us to suspend enrollment of most of our clinical studies; (2) manufacturing and supply chain disruptions; (3) the drug is unsafe or ineffective, or physicians and/or patients believe that the drug is unsafe or ineffective, or that other therapies are safer, more effective, better tolerated, or more convenient; (4) patients do not enroll in or complete clinical trials at the rate we expect, due to the availability of alternative therapies, the enrollment of competing clinical trials, or other reasons; (5) we, or clinical trial sites or other third parties, do not adhere to trial protocols and required quality controls under good clinical practices (GCP) regulations and similar regulations outside the United States; (6) patients experience severe side effects during treatment or die during our trials because of adverse events; and (7) the results of clinical trials conducted in a particular country are not acceptable to regulators in other countries.
Numerous treatments compete with our commercial therapies. For example, for the treatment of PAH, we compete with over fifteen branded and generic drugs. Sales of a generic version of Adcirca launched in August 2018 have had a material adverse impact on our sales of Adcirca. The availability of generic treprostinil injection in the United States could materially impact our revenues, and generic competition materially impacted our Remodulin revenues outside the United States. Our competitors are also developing numerous new products that may compete with ours, including products intended to treat PAH and/or PH-ILD. For example, Merck receivedcommercially approval forlaunched Winrevair (sotatercept-csrk) in the United States in March 2024, which competes with our treprostinil-based products. In addition, in June 2025 Liquidia islaunched developingU.S. Yutrepia,sales whichof could receive final approval from the FDAYutrepia for both PAH and PH-ILDPH-ILD, inwhich Maynow 2025 (or sooner depending on the pending outcome of Liquidia’s lawsuit against the FDA) and if successful would competecompetes with our treprostinil-based products. BothAdditional treatments, such as Insmed Incorporated’s TPIP, are in late-stage clinical trials for treatment of PAH and/or PH-ILD. Each of these products could potentially materially adversely affect our revenues. There are also twothree therapies approved for the treatment of IPF, including Boehringer Ingelheim’s Jascayd® (nerandomilast), which was approved by FDA in October 2025 for IPF, and welater arefor awarePPF. ofA awide significant numbervariety of additional therapies are being developed by our competitors for the treatment of IPF,IPF. whichExisting and future approved IPF therapies would compete with Tyvaso DPI and nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso if either or both of them is ultimately approved for that indication. The introduction of lower-priced competing products may reduce both the price that we are able to charge for our products and the volume of products we sell.
The commercial success of our products depends, in significant part, on coverage by governmental payers such as Medicare and Medicaid, and private insurance companies. A reduction in the availability or extent of reimbursement from domestic or foreign government health care programs could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of our operations. Government payers and third-partycommercial payers are increasingly attempting to limit the price of medicinal products and frequently challenge the pricing of new or expensive drugs. In many markets outside the United States, governments control the prices of prescription pharmaceuticals through the implementation of reference pricing, price cuts, rebates, revenue-related taxes, and profit control. Financial pressures may cause United States government payers and/or private health insurers to implement policies that would reduce reimbursement rates for our products, limit future price increases, cap reimbursement rates for pharmaceuticals to rates paid internationally, require the automatic substitution of generic products, demand more rigorous requirements for initial coverage for new products, implement step therapy policies that require patients to try other medicines, including generic products, before using our products, or take other similar steps that could make it more difficult for patients to access our products. See, for example, the discussion of the IRA and the proposed GLOBE and GUARD regulations in the risk factor below entitled Government healthcare reform and other reforms could adversely affect our revenue, costs, and results of operations.
Our prostacyclin analogue products (Tyvaso DPI, nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, and Orenitram) and our oncology product (Unituxin) are expensive therapies. Specialty pharmacy distributors may not be able to obtain adequate reimbursement for our products from commercial and government payers to motivate them to support our products. Third-party payers may reduce the amount of reimbursement for our products based on changes in pricing of other therapies for the same disease or the development of new payment methodologies to cover and reimburse treatment costs, such as the use of cost-effectiveness research or value-based payment contracts. Third-party payers often encourage the use of less-expensive generic alternative therapies, which has materially impacted our Adcirca revenues and which may materially impact our Remodulin revenues and revenues from our other products if and when generic competitors come to market. Similarly, pricing and rebating strategies for new competitive therapies could put pressure on us to reduce the prices of our products and/ or offer increased rebates to third-party payers. If commercial or government payers do not cover our products or limit payment rates, patients and physicians could choose competing products or products with lower out-of-pocket costs.
Our internal manufacturing process subjects us to risks as we engage in increasingly complex manufacturing processes. We manufacture our entire supply of Orenitram and Unituxin without an FDA-approved back-up manufacturing site. We do not plan to engage a third party to manufacture Orenitram; however, we have initiated efforts to qualify a third party to manufacture theUnituxin activedrug ingredient in Unituxin,substance, which will take multiple years and may not succeed. Our manufactured organ and organ alternative programs will involve exceptionally complicated manufacturing processes, many of which have never been attempted on a clinical or commercial scale. It will take substantial time and resources to develop and implement such manufacturing processes, and we may never be able to do so successfully. Additional risks of our manufacturing strategy include the following:
•We believe we and our third-party manufacturers may need to increase our respective manufacturing capacity by constructing new facilities, and/or expanding existing facilities, in order to continue meeting anticipated demand for our products. These efforts are often costly and time-consuming, and must meet rigorous regulatory requirements. For example, we are engaged in significant efforts to expand MannKind’s capacity to manufacture Tyvaso DPI in the near term, at our expense. Longer-term, we are constructing our own facility to manufacture Tyvaso DPI. These efforts could be unsuccessful or take longer or cost more than we anticipate, due to a variety of factors including the lead time needed to procure, install, and qualify the highly specialized equipment necessary to manufacture the product. If these plans are not successfully and timely implemented, we could be unable to meet the growing demand for Tyvaso DPI, which would negatively impact our Tyvaso DPI revenues.
•We may experience difficulty designing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure compliancecomply with applicable regulations as we develop manufacturing operations for new products.
•Our primary manufacturing facilities are located in rapidly growing biopharmaceutical manufacturing hubs. Competition for experienced technical and entry level operations personnel is intense, and we may experience difficulty in staffing both our existing and future manufacturing facilities, which could limit the capacity of our facilities and/or delay startup of new facilities.
•Unituxin is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that has stringent quality control and stability requirements. The drug substance manufacturing process involves a complex, multi-step cell culture and purification process. Many biologic products, including Unituxin, are particularly sensitive to the conditions under which they are manufactured. Supplier-driven changes to any of the raw materials or components used in the manufacture of Unituxin, such as discontinuation or alteration, could have unintended impacts on the quality and shelf life of Unituxin and may inhibit or prevent our ability to supply acceptable finished product in sufficient quantities or at all. Batches of Unituxin that fail to meet certain release specifications cannot be sold into the market. We have a limited capacity to produce batches of Unituxin. If a sufficient number of batches fail to meet release specifications, we could face a shortage of drug product. During 2025 we encountered limitations on our ability to supply Unituxin to our distributor in Japan, which caused our distributor to delay starting new patients on this therapy in Japan. Our efforts to proactively engage with the FDA to adjust certain manufacturing specifications for Unituxin to reduce the risk of a shortage in the United States may prove unsuccessful. Furthermore, Unituxin has a limited shelf life, which impacts our ability to stockpile inventory at comparable levels to our other commercial products.
•Natural and man-made disasters (such as fires, contamination, power loss, hurricanes,hurricanes and other forms of severe weather, earthquakes, flooding, terrorist attacks, and acts of war), some of which could be exacerbated by climate change, disease outbreaks, and pandemics such as COVID-19 impacting our internal and third-party manufacturing and warehousing sites could cause a supply disruption.
•The sterilitychemical, microbiological, and physical quality attributes of our products could be substandard and such products could not be sold or used or could be subject to recalls.
•The FDA and its international counterparts wouldcould require new testing and compliance inspections of new manufacturers of our products, or new manufacturing facilities we operate.
•We and our third-party manufacturers rely upon local municipalities to supply our facilities with clean water, which is subsequently processed into high purity water and used as a key ingredient for several of our commercial drug products. If local municipalities are unable to supply water that meets relevant quality standards, we and our third-party manufacturers may be unable to manufacture these products until such a situation is remediated.
•We and our third-party manufacturers rely upon utility companies to supply our facilities with electrical power. The U.S. power grid is aging and demand for electrical power is rapidly increasing, partially driven by the construction of data centers in certain regions. If utility companies are not able to reliably supply electrical power, we and our third-party manufacturers may be unable to operate our facilities at full capacity.
•Our supply chain for raw materials and consumables extends worldwide and is complex. Suppliers based in ChinaChina, India, and Taiwan play a substantial role in our supply chain.chain to support our second- and third-tier suppliers. Political unrest or trade disputes involving China, India, Taiwan, or other countries in our supply chain could impact our ability and the ability of our third-party manufacturers to source raw materials and consumables. We also have limited visibility into the supply chains on which our primary suppliers rely; as such, we rely on our primary suppliers to have robust risk mitigation strategies to detect issues and prevent supply disruption. Our commercial active pharmaceutical ingredient and all of our finished commercial product is manufactured in the United States.
•We are closely monitoring theglobal military conflicts inincluding those involving Ukraine and Israel. Although we do not directly source any raw materials or consumables from Ukraine,the Russia,directly Belarus,impacted Gaza, Lebanon, or Israel,countries, our European- and Middle East-basedinternational suppliers and service providers in these regions could be impacted by extended conflicts or an escalation of these conflicts into neighboring countries.
•The cost of many key raw materials and consumables used in the manufacture of our products has increased due to significant inflationary pressure, and could increase further as a result of tariffs enacted by the Trump administration. Should the prices of raw materials and consumables further increase significantly as a result of inflation or tariffs, we could see higher than average year-over-year increases in cost of goods sold. Tariffs and other trade barriers could also cause a substantial increase in the material costs associated with our construction activities.
•Any of our third-party manufacturers could undergo a change of control, causing a change in our business relationship with the relevant manufacturer. Such a change could impact our long-term supply outlook and cause us to seek alternatives that could require a lengthy regulatory approval process. Due to the nature of our products, alternativeAlternative suppliers may not be readily available, causing us to rely solely on internal capabilities to meet future demand.
•In 2024,2024 we began operatingcompleted a clinical-scale, designated pathogen-free facility (DPF) to produce our xenotransplantation products for human clinical studies. This facility houses gene-edited pigs in a highly controlled containment environment. This facility is a first of its kind, and unforeseen operational issues or disease outbreak amongst its herd could significantly impact the clinical development timelines for our xenotransplantation products. We haveare begunconstructing constructiontwo of a second clinical-scaleadditional DPF facilityfacilities to mitigate operational risk and increase capacity, and are planning to construct a third clinical-scale DPF facility.capacity. We will need to construct additional clinical and commercial-scale DPF facilities at significant expense in order to support the development and commercialization of our xenotransplantation products. We expect to begin construction of one or more commercial-scale DPF facilities well before our xenotransplantation products could potentially be approved, and ifIf development of our xenotransplantation products fails or demand is significantly less than anticipated, we will not recoup our significant investment in these facilities.unique facilities as they would be difficult to repurpose. Conversely, prior to approval of our xenotransplantation products, we may not construct the number of facilities that we believe will ultimately be required to meet patient demand, which may delay our ability to meet demand when and if our xenotransplantation products are approved.
Any of these factors could disrupt sales of our commercial products, delay clinical trials or commercialization of new products, result in product liability claims and product recalls, and entail higher costs.costs or lost revenues. Interruptions in our manufacturing process could be significant given the length of time and complexity involved in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals for alternative arrangements, through either third parties or internal manufacturing processes.
We rely entirely on third parties to supply pumps and other supplies necessary to administer Remodulin. There are a limited number of pumps and other supplies available in the market, and the discontinuation of any particular pump could have a material, adverse impact on our Remodulin revenues if a viable supply of an alternate pump is not available. Smiths Medical (which has since been acquired by ICU Medical) discontinued manufacturing the MS-3 system used to administer subcutaneous Remodulin, and specialty pharmacy distributors informed us that supplies of new MS-3 pumps are fully exhausted.exhausted, although a limited number of refurbished pumps may be available for use with generic treprostinil. In 2022, ICU Medical discontinued manufacturing and distribution of the CADD-Legacy system used to administer intravenous Remodulin. Historically, these were the pumps primarily used to administer Remodulin to patients in the United States. In 2021, we launched the Remunity Pump to administer subcutaneous Remodulin, and in 2022 ICU Medical made an alternative pump, the CADD-Solis, available for intravenous Remodulin. We rely entirely on DEKA and its affiliates to manufacture the Remunity and RemunityPRO Pumps. Additional ancillary supplies are used with these pumps, and a limited number of manufacturers that supply them. In 2024, a manufacturer discontinued popular infusion tubing sets used with the Remunity Pumps (and expected to be used with RemunityPRO) and transferred this business to another manufacturer. This manufacturer has operations outside of the United States and is working to establish an additional U.S. distributor for their product. We are working to secure arrangements for alternative suppliers, but establishing these alternatives could take significant time and may not ultimately be successful. Specialty pharmacies have reportedly run low on these supplies, which threatens patients’ ability to continue administering Remodulin.
We rely on two contract manufacturers — MinnetronixForj Inc.Medical and Phillips-Medisize Corp. — to manufacture the Tyvaso Inhalation System for nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso. As nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso is a drug-device combination product, we cannot sell nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso without the Tyvaso Inhalation System. We also rely on various third parties to supply the monthly disposable device accessories that are used with the Tyvaso Inhalation System. We currently rely entirely on MannKind to manufacture Tyvaso DPI finished drug product and inhalers for us.us, with no plans to develop an alternate or backup supply arrangement. If MannKind is unable to manufacture Tyvaso DPI in sufficient quantities for us for any reason, our commercial sales of Tyvaso DPI could be materially and adversely impacted.
We also rely on various sole-source suppliers for manufacturing activities related to ralinepag. We are in the process of qualifying our Research Triangle ParkRTP facility to produce our primary commercial supply of ralinepag if and when it is approved by the FDA. This effort could be unsuccessful or take longer or cost more than we anticipate, in which case we may be more reliant on our existing third-party contract manufacturers.
Finally, we rely entirely on Sanner GmbH (which recently acquired Gilero LLC) to manufacture cartridges that were cleared by the FDA for use with the MS-3 pump to administer Remodulin. For a further discussion of risks created by the use of third-party contract manufacturers, see the risk factor above entitled, Our manufacturing strategy exposes us to significant risks.
We rely heavily on third-party contract research organizations, contract laboratories, clinical investigative sites, and other third parties to conduct our clinical trials, preclinical studies, and other research and development activities. In addition, the success of certain products we are developing will depend on clinical trials sponsored by third parties. Third-party failure to conduct or assist us in conducting clinical trials in accordance with study protocols, quality controls, GCP, or other applicable requirements or to submit associated regulatory filings, could limit or prevent our ability to rely on results of those trials in seeking regulatory approvals.
Our early-stage research and development involves animal testing required by regulatory authorities, which we conduct both directly and through contracts with third parties. Our xenotransplantationorgan and regenerative medicinemanufacturing programs rely heavily on the use of animals to manufacture and test our products. Certain special interest groups categorically object to the use of animals for research purposes. Any negative attention, threats, or acts of vandalism directed against our animal research or manufacturing activities could impede the operation of our business.
The products we develop must be approved for marketing and sale by regulatory agencies. Our research and development efforts must comply with extensive regulations, including those promulgated by the FDA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and their international counterparts, as applicable. The process of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for new drugs, biologics, and medical devices is lengthy, expensive, and uncertain. The regulatory approval process is particularly uncertain for our transplantation programs, which include the development of xenotransplantation, regenerative medicine, 3D bioprinting of organ alternatives,manufacturing and cell-based products.program. Once approved, the manufacture, distribution, advertising, and marketing of our products are subject to extensive regulation, including requirements related to product labeling, pharmacovigilance and adverse effect reporting and processing (including both adverse events and product complaints), storage, distribution, and record-keeping. Our product candidates have in the past and may in the future fail to receive regulatory approval. If granted, product approvals can be conditioned on the completion of post-marketing clinical studies, accompanied by significant restrictions on the use or marketing of a given product and withdrawn for failure to comply with regulatory requirements, such as post-marketing requirements and post-marketing commitments, or upon the occurrence of adverse effects subsequent to commercial introduction. Our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our products has been, and in the future may be, materially impacted by the outcome and quality of our clinical trials and other data submitted to regulators, as well as the quality of our manufacturing operations and those of our third-party contract manufacturers and contract laboratories. In addition, third parties may submit citizen petitions to the FDA seeking to delay approval of, or impose additional approval conditions for, our products. If successful, citizenCitizens petitions canhave in the past, and may in the future, significantly delay,delay or even prevent, theprevent approval of our products. For example, a third party submitted a citizen petition to the FDA requesting that the FDA refuse to approve Tyvaso DPI, and/or impose additional requirements in order to approve the product. While the petition was denied by the FDA, it delayed FDA approval of our NDA for Tyvaso DPI.
In April 2025, the Trump administration announced a reduction in force at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, including layoffs at the FDA. These and other efforts to reduce the size of the FDA or its funding, combined with changes in FDA leadership, have begun to result in slower FDA response times and/or longer review periods. Future government shutdowns, funding disputes, reorganizations, furloughs, or reductions in resources or changes in priorities or focus may result in further delays. If response and review delays persist and/or worsen, they could potentially impact our ability to timely progress our pipeline efforts or obtain regulatory approval for new products and new indications for existing products.
Political, economic, and regulatory developments may lead to fundamental changes in the U.S. healthcare industry, particularly given the persistent criticism of prescription drug costs in the U.S. We expect there will continue to be legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could adversely impact our ability to commercialize and to sell our products profitably. Even proposals or executive actions that ultimately are deemed unlawful or otherwise repealed could negatively impact the U.S. pharmaceutical sector and our business.
In August 2022, President Biden signed theThe IRA intowas law.enacted in 2022. Among other things, the IRA requires manufacturers of certain drugs to engage in price negotiations with Medicare, with prices that can be negotiated subject to a cap (with resulting prices for the initial ten drugs first effective in 2026); imposes rebates under Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D to penalize price increases that outpace inflation (first due in 2023); redesigns the Medicare Part D benefit (beginning in 2024); and replaces the Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program with a new manufacturer discounting program (beginning in 2025). CMS has published the negotiated prices for the initial ten drugs, which went into effect in January 2026, and the subsequent 15 drugs, which will first be effective in 2027. The IRA permits the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement many of these provisions through guidance, as opposed to regulation, for the initial years. HHS has issued guidance, and is expected to continue to issue guidance, even while multiple lawsuits challenging the IRA negotiation requirement remain pending. While the impact of the IRA on the pharmaceutical industry cannot yet be fully determined, it is likely to be significant.
Orenitram and Tyvaso DPI are both reimbursed under Medicare Part D, and the reimbursement amount will be impacted by the 10 and 20 percent discounts under the new manufacturer discounting program. These increased discounts will impact Tyvaso DPI and Orenitram revenues, while also having an industry-wide impact on the cost of Part D drugs. The impact on Tyvaso DPI and Orenitram revenues could be offset because the IRA’s redesign of certain Part D components, some ofredesign, which went into effect in 2024,2025 and resulted in an increase in the number of patients able to afford these therapies. The amount of the offset, if any, is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict.
More recently, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was enacted in July 2025, significantly reduced funding of the Medicaid program. Such reductions are expected to decrease the number of persons enrolled in Medicaid and reduce the services covered by Medicaid, which could adversely affect our sales of our commercial products.
The Trump administration is pursuing a two-fold strategy to reduce drug costs in the U.S. On the one hand, the Trump administration has threatened to impose significant tariffs on pharmaceutical manufacturers that do not adopt pricing policies such as most favored nation pricing, which would tie the price for drugs in the U.S. to the lowest price in a group of other countries. In response, multiple manufacturers have entered into confidential pricing agreements with the federal government. On the other hand, the Trump administration is pursuing traditional regulatory pathways to impose drug pricing policies and published two proposed regulations in December 2025, referred to as GLOBE and GUARD. If finalized and adopted, these regulations would implement mandatory payment models under which manufacturers of eligible drugs would be required to pay rebates to the federal government on a portion of the units of their drugs that are reimbursed by Medicare, with the rebate amount based on most favored nation pricing. Imposing a rebate in the U.S. that is based on drug prices outside the U.S. would mark a drastic and unprecedented shift in the U.S. pharmaceutical market. While it is unclear whether and how the Trump administration proposals will be implemented, the Trump administration policies are likely to have a significant negative impact on the pharmaceutical industry and may negatively affect our ability to receive revenues from sales of our commercial products. Even regulatory proposals or executive actions that ultimately are deemed unlawful or otherwise repealed could negatively impact the U.S. pharmaceutical sector and our business.
In addition, Congress enacted other statutes that could adversely affect our ability to successfully commercialize our products. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 eliminated the statutory cap on Medicaid Drug Rebate program rebates that manufacturers pay to state Medicaid programs, effective January 1, 2024. Previously, the rebate was capped at the drug’s average manufacturer price. Removal of the rebate cap could increase our Medicaid rebate liability.
Individual U.S. states continuein the United States have also increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to considercontrol pharmaceutical and havebiological enactedproduct legislationpricing, including price or patient reimbursement limitations, marketing cost disclosure, and transparency measures, and, in some cases, measures designed to limitencourage theimportation growthfrom ofother healthcarecountries costs,and includingbulk the cost of prescription drugs.purchasing. A number of states have either implemented or are considering implementation of drug price transparency legislation. Requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturers under such laws include advance notice of planned price increases; reporting price increase amounts and factors considered in taking such increases; wholesale acquisition cost information disclosure to prescribers, purchasers, and state agencies; and new product notice and reporting. Other legislation establishes so-called prescription drug affordability boards that could impose price caps on specific drugs.drugs, and at least one state board is imposing an upper payment limit. States are also seeking to implement general, across-the-board price caps for pharmaceuticals, or are seeking to regulate drug distribution. These state legislative measures could limit the price or payment for certain drugs,drugs andor acould complicate the distribution of drugs. A number of states are authorized to impose civil monetary penalties or pursue other enforcement mechanisms against manufacturers who fail to comply with state law requirements, including the untimely, inaccurate, or incomplete reporting of drug pricing information under transparency obligations. Additional legislation in these areas imposing additional requirements on manufacturers, as well as penalties for noncompliance, could be introduced in the future. In addition, regional healthcare authorities and individual hospitals are increasingly using bidding procedures to determine what pharmaceutical products and which suppliers will be included in their prescription drug and other healthcare programs.
In October 2020, HHS and the FDA issued a final rule and guidance concerning two new pathways for importing lower-cost drugs into the United States. The final rule allows certain prescription drugs to be imported from Canada, and the guidance describes procedures for drug manufacturers to facilitate the importation of FDA-approved drugs and biologics manufactured abroad and originally intended for sale in a foreign country into the United States. In January 2024, the FDA approved Florida’s drug importation plan. In November 2025, the FDA granted a six-month extension for Florida to begin implementing its plan.

It is difficult to predict the impact, if any, that future legislationfederal or state legislation, or executive actionsactions, might have on the use of and reimbursement for our products in the United States, includingsuch as the potential for the importation of generic versions of our products, for price caps under state laws, or for increased difficulties and costs related to the distribution of our products.
Pricing and rebate calculations vary among products and programs. The calculations are complex and are often subject to interpretation by us, governmental or regulatory agencies, and the courts. If we must restate or recalculate information provided under these programs, our costs of compliance could increase. We could be held liable for errors in ourthe submissions we are required to make with regards to governmental drug pricing data,program, including retroactive rebates and program refunds. We may incur significant civil monetary penalties if we are found to have knowingly provided false information to the government or to have charged 340B covered entities more than the statutorily mandated ceiling price.price, and resolution of any claims that we violated these provisions could be costly. Certain failures to timely submit required data also could result in a civil monetary penalty for each day the information is late. We could also become subject to allegations under the False Claims Act and other laws and regulations. In addition, misreporting and failure to timely report data to CMS also can be grounds for CMS to terminate our Medicaid drug rebate agreement, pursuant to which we participate in the Medicaid Drug Rebate program. If CMS terminates our rebate agreement, no federal payments would be available under Medicaid or Medicare Part B for our covered outpatient drugs.
Similar political, economic, and regulatory developments are occurring in other countries and may affect our profitability. In addition to continuing pressure on prices and cost containment measures, legislative developments at the European Union (EU) or member state level may result in significant additional requirements or obstacles that may increase operating costs. Healthcare budgetary constraints in most EU member states have resulted in restrictions on the pricing and reimbursement of medicines and medical devices by relevant health service providers. Coupled with ever-increasing EU and national regulatory burdens on those wishing to develop and market products, this could prevent or delay marketing approval or certification of our product candidates, restrict or regulate post-approval activities, and affect our ability to commercialize our product candidates, if approved or certified. In markets outside of the United States and EU, reimbursement and healthcare payment systems vary significantly by country, and many countries have instituted price ceilings on specific products and therapies.
We participate in the 340B program and have implemented a policy regarding the distribution of our drugs at 340B ceiling prices through third-party pharmacies that contract with 340B covered entities, known as “340B contract pharmacies”. Under our 340B contract pharmacy policy, which we adopted to address program integrity risks, our drugs are only shipped at the 340B ceiling price to those 340B contract pharmacies that meet certain criteria. Our policy has no impact on 340B purchases by 340B covered entities themselves. Our contract pharmacy policy preserves patient access, while addressing compliance and integrity concerns resulting from the proliferation of contract pharmacies. Nonetheless, the HHS, in a non-binding (and now-retracted) Advisory Opinion, stated that manufacturers in the 340B program are obligated to sell their covered outpatient drugs at the 340B ceiling price to all contract pharmacies acting as agents of a covered entity. Certain covered entities have expressed the view that participating manufacturers are obligated to sell their covered outpatient drugs to all contract pharmacies of a covered entity.
Company-sponsored patient assistance programs, including insurance premium and co-pay assistance programs and manufacturers’ donations to third-party charities that provide such assistance, are subject to heightened scrutiny. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has taken enforcement action against pharmaceutical companies alleging violations of the Federal False Claims Act and other laws in connection with patient assistance programs. InWe Decemberhave 2017,been, weand enteredmay intoin athe civilfuture, Settlementbe Agreementsubject to DOJ investigations with the U.S. Governmentrespect to resolve a DOJ investigation of our support of non-profit patient assistance programsprograms, which can result in sanctions, fines, or other payments and paidagreements $210.0with million, plus interest,respect to the U.S. Government upon settlement. We also entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (the CIA) with the OIG, which required us to maintain our corporate compliance program and to undertake a set of defined corporate integrity obligations for five years ending December 2022.programs. As discussed in Note 14—Litigation, to our consolidated financial statements, we have been sued by Humana Inc., United Healthcare Services, Inc., and various parties in the MSP Recovery litigation for allegedly violating RICO and various state laws in connection with our donations to a charity. These lawsuits, or other lawsuits in the future, could result in significant monetary judgments and the imposition of other penalties against us.
The period under which our commercial and developmental therapies are protected by our patent rights is limited. Our patents related to our individual treprostinil-based products expire at various times through 2042. We entered into settlement agreements with certain generic drug companies permitting them to launch generic versions of Remodulin in the United States and other companies to launch generic versions of nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso and Orenitram in the United States. In some instances, the FTC has brought actions against brand and generic companies that have entered into such agreements, alleging that they violate antitrust laws. Even in the absence of an FTC challenge, other governmental or private litigants may assert antitrust or other claims against us relating to such agreements. We have been sued by Sandoz for violating our settlement agreement with them and we have accrued a liability of $71.1$74.1 million in connection with such suit, reflecting the final judgment and post-judgment interest accrued through the end of 2024,2025, although our ultimate liability may be greater. Other actions against us in the future could result in significant monetary judgments and the imposition of other penalties against us. A U.S. patent for Adcirca for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension expired in November 2017, and FDA-conferred regulatory exclusivity expired in May 2018, leading to the launch of a generic version of Adcirca in August 2018. We have no issued patents or pending patent applications covering Unituxin.the Unituxin drug product. For further details, see Part I, Item 1—Business—Patents and Other Proprietary Rights, Strategic Licenses, and Market Exclusivity—Generic Competition and Challenges to our Intellectual Property Rights.
We also rely on trade secrets to protect our proprietary know-how and other confidential technological advances. Our confidentiality agreements with our employees and others to whom we disclose trade secrets and confidential information may not necessarily prevent our trade secrets from being used or disclosed without our authorization.authorization, as we allege happened in our lawsuit against Liquidia and Dr. Roscigno. These agreements may be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to enforce or may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure. If our trade secrets were lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent such third party, or those to whom they communicate such technology or information, from using that technology or information to compete with us, and our business and competitive position could be harmed.
Third parties have alleged, and may allegein the future allege, that our products or services infringe their patents and other intellectual property rights, which could result in the payment of royalties that negatively affect our profits, subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation, or cause us to lose the ability to sell the related products.
If a third party commences legal action against us for infringement, we may incur significant costs to defend ourselves against the claims made in the action and our management’s attention could be diverted from our day-to-day business operations, whether or not the action has merit. An adverse judgment or settlement resulting from the action could require us to pay substantial amounts in damages for infringement or to obtain a license to continue to use the intellectual property that is the subject of the infringement claim, or could result in injunctive relief limiting our ability to develop, manufacture, or sell our products. In April 2025, Liquidia initiated litigation against us alleging that Tyvaso DPI infringes a patent assigned to Liquidia. While we believe we have meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend against these claims, this litigation could be time consuming and ultimately may not be resolved in our favor, in which case, we could be required to pay substantial damages.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure, much of which is outsourced to third parties including in cloud-based platforms. We collect, store, and use sensitive or confidential data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our suppliers, patients, healthcare providers, and business partners, and personally identifiable information. We recently launched a new patient relations program, United Therapeutics Cares, which has increased our access to sensitive information about our patients. Actual or alleged cybersecurity incidents, including those caused by employee error, malfeasance, system failures, malware, ransomware, viruses, distributed denial of services attacks, credential harvesting, social engineering, and other forms of unauthorized access or disclosure to, or disrupting the operation of, our networks and systems or those of our customers, suppliers, vendors, and other service providers, can cause the loss, destruction, or unauthorized access or disclosure of data, including personal information of employees or confidential or proprietary information, disruption of our manufacturing and other operations, and damage to our reputation and competitive position, any of which could be costly to address and remediate and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We are also subject to laws and regulations in the United States and abroad, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and European Union regulations related to data privacy, which require us to protect the privacy and security of certain types of information. Therefore, cybersecurity incidents could expose us to significant civil and/or criminal penalties, as well as private litigation, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
We may be required to seek additional sources of financing to meet unplanned or planned expenditures. Unplanned expenditures could be significant and may result from necessary modifications to product development plans or product offerings in response to difficulties encountered with clinical trials. We may also face unexpected costs in preparing products for commercial sale, or in maintaining sales levels of our currently marketed therapeutic products. Our credit agreement (the 2025 Credit Agreement) contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on commercially reasonable terms or at all, we may be compelled to delay clinical studies, curtail operations, or obtain funds through collaborative arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain products or potential markets.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service or repay our indebtedness, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
We may borrow up to $2.0 billion under our Credit Agreement, which matures in March 2029. Currently, our outstanding principal balance is $300.0 million. Our ability to repay or refinance our debt obligations under our Credit Agreement and any future debt that we may incur will depend on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy our debt obligations would materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. If we cannot repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due, we may be forced to take disadvantageous actions, including reducing or delaying investments and capital expenditures, disposing of material assets or operations, seeking additional debt or equity capital, or restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness. We may not be able to implement any such alternative measures on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, such actions may not enable us to meet any such debt service obligations. In addition, our ability to withstand competitive pressures and to react to changes in our industry could be impaired.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, we acquired IVIVA and Miromatrix. We may continue to seek to expand our business in part through acquisitions of complementary businesses, products, and technologies. The success of this strategy will depend on our ability to identify, and the availability of, suitable acquisition candidates. We may incur costs related to an acquisition but may be unable or unwilling to consummate the proposed transaction. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including: the ability to realize anticipated synergies and manage the integration of personnel, products, and acquired infrastructure and controls; potential increases in operating costs; managing geographically remote operations; the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns; potential disruptions in ongoing operations during integration; risks inherent in entering markets and sectors in which we have limited or no direct experience; and the potential loss of key employees, customers, or vendors and other business partners of the acquired companies. External factors, such as compliance with law, may also impact the successful integration of an acquired business. Acquisitions could involve dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, one-time write-offs of goodwill (or IPR&Din-process research and development assets), and substantial amortization expenses of other intangible assets. We may be unable to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, if necessary to finance future acquisitions, which may make acquisitions impossible or more costly. The terms of financing we obtain may be onerous and restrict our operations. Further, certain acquisitions may be subject to regulatory approval, which can be time consuming and costly to obtain or may be denied, and if obtained, the terms of such regulatory approvals may limit our ongoing operations or require us to divest assets.

Our bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless we agree in writing to an alternative forum, (1) the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if such court does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located in Delaware) will be the exclusive forum for any complaint asserting any internal corporate claims, including claims in the right of the corporation based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer, employee, or shareholder in such capacity, or as to which the Delaware General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery,Chancery; and (2) the federal district courts will be the exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The choice of forum provision may limit our shareholders’ ability to bring a claim in a forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, and may discourage such lawsuits. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision. If a court ruled the choice of forum provision was inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs to resolve such action in other jurisdictions. Our choice of forum provision is intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law to the above-specified types of actions and proceedings, including any derivative actions asserting claims under state law or the federal securities laws. Our shareholders will not be deemed, by operation of the choice of forum provision, to have waived our obligation to comply with all applicable federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

We operate in a highly competitive market in which several large pharmaceutical companies control many of the available PAHsee in full comparisontherapies.therapies, including Merck, which received FDA approval for Winrevair (sotatercept-csrk) to treat PAH in March 2024. These pharmaceutical companies are well established in the market and possess greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. In addition,there are investigational products in late-stage development that, if approved, may erode the market share or net prices of our existing commercial therapies and make market acceptance more difficult to achieve for any therapies we attempt to market in the future.

Under our agreement withsee in full comparisonArena,Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc., we will owe a low double-digit, tiered royalty on net product sales of ralinepag (for any route of administration), plus certain milestone payments upon defined regulatory events. We pay Lilly a royalty equal to ten percent of our net product sales of Adcirca, as well as milestone payments of $325,000 for each $1,000,000 in Adcirca net product sales. We pay a single-digit percentage royalty based on net product sales of Orenitram under our license agreement with Supernus. We also pay The Scripps Research Institute a one percent royalty on sales of Unituxin. We pay DEKA product fees and a single-digit royalty on net product sales of the Remunity and RemunityPRO Pumps and Remodulin for use with these pumps. We will owe former securityholders of Revivicor a five percent royalty on net product sales of UHeart, UKidney, and UThymoKidney, plus certain milestone payments upon defined regulatory events. We have entered into other license agreements under which we are required to make milestone payments upon the achievement of certain developmental and commercialization objectives and royalty payments upon the commercialization of products covered by the license agreements. See Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements for further details.

Chargebacks relate to our participation in programs with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and 340B covered entities. Although we accrue for our allowance for rebates and chargebacks in the same period that we recognize revenue, the actual rebate or chargeback on the sale of our product to a distributor is not invoiced to us until a future period, generally within six months from the date of sale. Inflationary rebates under Medicare Part D may follow a longer settlement timeline because they are calculated over applicable annual periods and invoiced by CMS following the end of those periods.

•Remodulin, a continuously-infused formulation of treprostinil, approved by the FDA for subcutaneous and intravenous delivery to diminish symptoms associated with exercise in patients with PAH. Remodulin has also been approved in various countries outside of the United States. In February 2021, we launched U.S. sales of the Remunity Pump, a next-generation subcutaneous infusion system for Remodulin.Remodulin developed under an exclusive development and license agreement with DEKA. In September 2025, we launched a new patient-filled version of the Remunity Pump, called RemunityPRO, which is intended to improve the patient experience by making the pump easier to use.
•Adcirca, an oral immediate-release tablet form of the PDE-5 inhibitor tadalafil, approved by the FDA to improve exercise ability in PAH patients. We sell Adcirca under an in-license from Lilly that expires December 31, 2026.
We are engaged in research and development of new indications and delivery devices for our existing products. In 2021, we launched a new pump for subcutaneous delivery of Remodulin, called the Remunity Pump, and recently completed development of a new version of the Remunity Pump, called RemunityPRO, which was cleared by the FDA in January 2025. We are studying nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosisIPF and progressive pulmonary fibrosisPPF (the TETON studies).
In addition, we are developing a new product to treat PAH, ralinepag. We are also heavily engaged in research and development of organ transplantation-related technologies including xenotransplantation, regenerative medicine, bio-artificial organ alternatives, 3D organ alternative bioprinting, and ex vivo lung perfusion. For additional detail regarding our research and development programs, see Part I, Item 1—Business—Research and Development.
Our total revenues consist primarily of sales of the commercial products noted above, including the delivery devices (in the case of Tyvaso DPI, nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso, and Remodulin). We have entered into separate, non-exclusive distribution agreements with Accredo Health Group, Inc. and its affiliates (Accredo) and Caremark, L.L.C. (CVS Specialty) to distribute Tyvaso DPI, nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, the Remunity Pump,and RemunityPRO Pumps, and Orenitram in the United States, and we have entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with ASDCencora SpecialtyGlobal Healthcare,Procurement Inc., an affiliate of Cencora, Inc. (formerly known as AmerisourceBergen Corporation),Ltd. to distribute Unituxin in the United States. We also sell nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, and Unituxin to distributors internationally. We sell Adcirca through theLilly’s pharmaceutical wholesale network of Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly).network. To the extent we have increased the price of any of these products, increases have typically been in the single-digit percentages per year, except for Adcirca, the price of which is set solely by Lilly. We also derive revenues from the sale of commercial ex vivo lung perfusion services, which are presented under Other within Note 13—Segment Information to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Our research and development expenses primarily include costs associated with the research and development of productsnew products, new indications for existing products, and various post-marketing research commitments.activities. These costs also include share-based compensation and salary-related expenses for research and development functions, professional fees for preclinical and clinical studies, costs associated with clinical manufacturing, facilities-related expenses, regulatory costs, and costs associated with payments to third-party contract manufacturers before FDA approval of the relevant product. Expenses also include costs for third-party arrangements, including upfront fees and milestone payments required under license arrangements for therapies under development. We do not track fully-burdened research and development expenses by individual product candidate.
Historically, we granted stock options under our Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and awards under our Share Tracking Awards Plan (the STAP). Issuance of awards under both of these plans was discontinued in 2015, and as of December 31, 2024, there were no longer any awards outstanding under our Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan. Currently, we grant stock options and restricted stock units under the United Therapeutics Corporation Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the 2015 Plan), which provides for the issuance of up to 13,820,00014,770,000 shares of our common stock, including the 1,320,000950,000 shares added pursuant to an amendment and restatement of the 2015 Plan approved by our shareholders in June 2024.2025. In February 2019, our Board of Directors approved the 2019 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan (the 2019 Inducement Plan), which provides for the issuance of up to 99,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to awards granted to newly-hired Unitherians. Currently, we grant equity-based awards to Unitherians and members of our Board of Directors in the form of stock options and restricted stock units under the 2015 Plan, and we may grant restricted stock units to newly-hired Unitherians under the 2019 Inducement Plan. The grant date fair values of stock options and restricted stock units are recognized as share-based compensation expense ratably over their vesting periods. Historically, we granted awards under our Share Tracking Awards Plan (the STAP). Issuance of awards under this plan was discontinued in 2015 and all remaining outstanding STAP awards were exercised during the first quarter of 2025.
The fair value of stock options is measured using inputs and assumptions under the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The fair value of restricted stock units is measured using our stock price on the date of grant.
The fair value of STAP awards and stock options is measured using inputs and assumptions under the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The fair value of restricted stock units is measured using our stock price on the date of grant. Although we no longer grant STAP awards, we had approximately 0.1 million STAP awards outstanding as of December 31, 2024. We account for STAP awards as liabilities because they are settled in cash. As such, we must re-measure the fair value of STAP awards at the end of each financial reporting period until the awards are no longer outstanding. Changes in our liability associated with outstanding STAP awards as a result of such re-measurements are recorded as adjustments to share-based compensation expense (benefit) and can create volatility within our operating expenses from period to period. The following factors, among others, impact the amount of share-based compensation expense (benefit) recognized in connection with STAP awards from period to period: (1) volatility in the price of our common stock (specifically, increases in the price of our common stock will generally result in an increase in our liability and related compensation expense, while decreases in our stock price will generally result in a reduction in our liability and related compensation expense); and (2) decreases in the number of outstanding awards.
We anticipate that revenue growth over the near-term will be driven primarily by: (1) continued growth in sales of Tyvaso DPI; (2) continued growth in the number of PH-ILD patients prescribed Tyvaso DPI and nebulizedNebulized Tyvaso; (3) continued growth in the number of patients prescribed Orenitram; and (4) modest price increases for some of our products. We believe that additional revenue growth in the medium- and longer-term will be driven by new products andproducts, new indications for existing productsproducts, beingand developednew indevices to deliver our pipeline,existing products, as described above under Part I, Item 1—Business—Research and Development.
Our ability to achieve our objectives, grow our business, and maintain profitability will depend on many factors, including among others: (1) the timing and outcome of preclinical research, clinical trials, and regulatory approval applications for products we develop; (2) the timing and degree of our success in commercially launching new products; (3) the demand for our products; (4) the net price of our products and the reimbursement of our products by public and private health insurance organizations, including the impact on such net prices and reimbursement amounts as a result of the IRA,IRA and other government initiatives focused on drug pricing, and as a result of additional payer rebates; (5) the competition we face within our industry, including competition from generic companiescompanies, the recent launch of Yutrepia, and the anticipatedpotential launch of new PAHtherapies for PAH, PH-ILD, IPF, and/or PH-ILD therapiesPPF; (6) our ability to effectively manage our business in an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment; (7) our ability to defend against challenges to our patents; and (8) the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors, included in this Report.
We have budgeted approximately $750$400 million for capital expenditures during 20252026 and through the end of 20272028 to construct additional facilities to support the development and commercialization of our products and technologies. This amount is primarily dedicated to construction of a new Tyvaso DPI manufacturing facility in ResearchRTP; Triangle Park, North Carolina (RTP);and construction of a clinical-scale designatedDPF pathogen-free (DPF) facilityfacilities in Stewartville, Minnesota; and initialHouston, pre-construction activities for a commercial-scale DPF facility.Texas. We plan to fund these capital expenditures using cash on hand.
We anticipate our first commercial-scaleexisting DPF facility in Virginia and the two planned DPF facilities in Minnesota and Texas will provide an initial commercial supply of our xeno-organ products if and when they are approved by the FDA. OurHowever, commercial-scaleif our xeno-organ products are approved by the FDA, we likely will need to continue building additional DPF facilities to satisfy demand for these products. Additional DPF facilities will be very capital-intensive, but we expect they will be executed in stagesstages, withwhich thewill abilityenable us to adjust the schedule (and anticipated cost) of construction depending on the progress of our clinical and regulatory activities. In addition to the production capacity of our commercial-scale DPF facility, we anticipate additional commercial capacity stemming from at least three clinical-scale facilities: our existing DPF facility in Virginia; a DPF facility we are building in Minnesota, as noted above; and a third clinical-scale DPF facility we plan to build in Houston, Texas.
We operate in a highly competitive market in which several large pharmaceutical companies control many of the available PAH therapies.therapies, including Merck, which received FDA approval for Winrevair (sotatercept-csrk) to treat PAH in March 2024. These pharmaceutical companies are well established in the market and possess greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. In addition, there are investigational products in late-stage development that, if approved, may erode the market share or net prices of our existing commercial therapies and make market acceptance more difficult to achieve for any therapies we attempt to market in the future. For example, Yutrepia has been tentativelywas approved by the FDA in May 2025 for the treatment of PAH and PH-ILD, withand finalthe approvalproduct potentiallywas occurringlaunched aftercommercially expirationin June 2025.

Nebulized Tyvaso net product sales increased in 2024, as compared to 2023, primarily due to higher quantities sold of $51.9 million and, to a lesser extent, a price increase. Growth in nebulized Tyvaso was also driven by continued growth in use by PH-ILD patients.IRA.

We have entered into contracts with all of the major pharmacy benefit managers for Part D and commercial insurance plans, which provide rebates on utilization of Tyvaso DPI and, in some cases, Orenitram and nebulized Tyvaso. We entered into these rebate agreements to encourage access to these therapies. Many of these rebates went into effect beginning in the second half of 2024, which impacted our net revenues by increasing gross-to-net deductions for the relevant products. These rebate contracts are effective at least through 2025.

The increase in share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, as compared to the same period in 2023,2024, was primarily due to: (1) an increase in STAP expense driven by a 60 percent increase in our stock price during 2024, as compared to a 21 percent decrease in our stock price during 2023; (2) an increase in restricted stock unit expense due to a greater number of awards granted and remaining outstanding inperformance-based 2024,restricted stock units during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 20232024; and (32) an increase in stock option expense due to a greater number of awardsunvested grantedand inoutstanding 2024,performance-based stock options during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2023.2024, partially offset by a decrease in STAP expense, as all remaining STAP awards were exercised during the first quarter of 2025.

2025 Share Repurchase
In August 2025, we entered into the 2025 ASR agreements with Citi, comprised of a $500 million Uncollared ASR and a $500 million Collared ASR. Under the 2025 ASR agreements, we made an aggregate upfront payment of $1.0 billion to Citi and received initial deliveries of 1,274,296 and 849,531 shares of our common stock on August 4, 2025, representing approximately 75 percent and 50 percent of the total shares that would be repurchased under the Uncollared ASR and Collared ASR, respectively, measured based on the closing price of our common stock on August 1, 2025. Upon completion of an agreed-upon hedging period and the subsequent determination of the minimum and maximum share amounts to be repurchased under the Collared ASR, we received an additional 514,789 shares of our common stock on August 25, 2025. The final settlement of the Uncollared ASR occurred in November 2025, and we received an additional 3,882 shares of our common stock upon settlement. The final settlement of the Collared ASR occurred in January 2026, and we received no additional shares of our common stock upon settlement as a result of a collar provision that established the minimum and maximum number of shares to be repurchased, as well as other adjustments. In total, we repurchased 2,642,498 shares of our common stock under the 2025 ASR agreements that we currently hold as treasury stock in our consolidated balance sheets.
2024 Share Repurchase
In March 2024, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the 2024 ASR agreement) with Citibank, N.A. (Citi).Citi. Under the 2024 ASR agreement, we made an aggregate upfront payment of $1.0 billion to Citi and received an aggregate initial delivery of 3,275,199 shares of our common stock on March 27, 2024, which represented approximately 80 percent of the total shares that would be repurchased under the 2024 ASR agreement, measured based on the closing price of our common stock on March 25, 2024.
The share repurchase under the 2024 ASR agreement was divided into two tranches, resulting in upfront payments of $300 million and $700 million, respectively. The final settlement of the $300 million tranche occurred in June 2024, and we received an additional 181,772 shares of our common stock upon settlement. The final settlement of the $700 million tranche occurred in September 2024, and we received an additional 90,403 shares of our common stock upon settlement. In total, we repurchased 3,547,374 shares of our common stock under the 2024 ASR agreement that we currently hold as treasury stock in our consolidated balance sheets.
We have funded our operations principally through sales of our commercial products and, from time-to-time, third-party financing arrangements. We believe that our current sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund ongoing operations and future business plans as we expect aggregate growth in revenues from our commercial products. Furthermore, our customer base remains stable, and we believe that it presents minimal credit risk. However, any projections of future cash flows are inherently subject to uncertaintyuncertainty, and we may seek other forms of financing.

Our competitors are also developing numerous new products that may compete with ours, including products intended to treat PAH and/or PH-ILD. For example, Merck commercially launched Winrevair (sotatercept-csrk) in the United States in March 2024, which competes with our treprostinil-based products. In addition, in June 2025 Liquidia launched U.S. sales of Yutrepia for PAH and PH-ILD, which now competes with our treprostinil-based products. Additional treatments, such as Insmed Incorporated’s TPIP, are in late-stage clinical trials for treatment of PAH and/or PH-ILD.EachCompetitionoffrom the products that have launched to date has adversely affected our treprostinil-based product revenues, and competition from these and any future approved products couldpotentiallymaterially adversely affect our revenues. There are also three branded and two generic therapies approved for the treatment of IPF, including Boehringer Ingelheim’s Jascayd® (nerandomilast), which was approved by the FDA in October 2025 for IPF, and later for PPF. A wide variety of additional therapies are being developed by our competitors for the treatment of IPF. Existing and future approved IPF and PPF therapies would compete with Nebulized Tyvaso if it is approved for these indications, and any other products we may ultimately develop for IPF and PPF. The introduction of lower-priced competing products may reduce both the price that we are able to charge for our products and the volume of products we sell.
The period under which our commercial and developmental therapies are protected by our patent rights is limited.

In some instances, the FTC has brought actions against brand and generic companies that have entered into such agreements, alleging that they violate antitrust laws. Even in the absence of an FTC challenge, other governmental or private litigants may assert antitrust or other claims against us relating to such agreements.

Sales of our treprostinil-based therapies — Tyvaso DPI, Nebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, and Orenitram — comprise the vast majority of our revenues. Substantially decreased sales of any of these products could have a material adverse impact on our operations. A wide variety of events, such as withdrawal of regulatory approvals or substantial changes in prescribing practices or dosing patterns, many of which are described in other risk factors below, could cause sales of these products to materially decline, or to grow more slowly than expected. Our net revenues could also be negatively impacted by pricing pressure as a result of competitive challenges, the IRA, MFN policies, and other drug price reduction initiatives. The availability of generic versions of our products hasand the approval and launch of new competitive therapies have negatively impacted our revenues, and these and additional generic products launched in the future may continue to do so. The approval and launch of new therapies may materially negatively impact sales of our current and potential new products. Sales may decrease if any third party that manufactures, markets, distributes, or sells our commercial products cannot do so satisfactorily, or we cannot manage our internal manufacturing processes. Finally, if demand for our Tyvaso products does not meet our expectations, the revenue opportunity for our treprostinil products could be significantly lower than we expect.
Numerous treatments compete with our commercial therapies. For example, for the treatment of PAH, we compete with over fifteen branded and generic drugs. Sales of a generic version of Adcirca launched in August 2018 have had a material adverse impact on our sales of Adcirca. The availability of generic treprostinil injection in the United States could materially impact our revenues, and generic competition materially impacted our Remodulin revenues outside the United States. Our competitors are also developing numerous new products that may compete with ours, including products intended to treat PAH and/or PH-ILD. For example, Merck commercially launched Winrevair (sotatercept-csrk) in the United States in March 2024, which competes with our treprostinil-based products. In addition, in June 2025 Liquidia launched U.S. sales of Yutrepia for PAH and PH-ILD, which now competes with our treprostinil-based products.

The introduction of lower-priced competing products may reduce both the price that we are able to charge for our products and the volume of products we sell.
The commercial success of our products depends, in significant part, on coverage by governmental payers such as Medicare and Medicaid, and private insurance companies. A reduction in the availability or extent of reimbursement from domestic or foreign government health carehealthcare programs could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of our operations. Government and commercial payers are increasingly attempting to limit the price of medicinal products and frequently challenge the pricing of new or expensive drugs. In many markets outside the United States, governments control the prices of prescription pharmaceuticals through the implementation of reference pricing, price cuts, rebates, revenue-related taxes, and profit control. Financial pressures may cause United States government payers and/or private health insurers to implement policies that would reduce reimbursement rates for our products, limit future price increases, cap reimbursement rates for pharmaceuticals to rates paid internationally, require the automatic substitution of generic products, demand more rigorous requirements for initial coverage for new products, implement step therapy policies that require patients to try other medicines, including generic products, before using our products, or take other similar steps that could make it more difficult for patients to access our products. See, for example, the discussion of the IRA and the proposed GLOBE and GUARD regulations in the risk factor below entitled Government healthcare reform and other reforms could adversely affect our revenue, costs, and results of operations.
Our prostacyclin analogue products (Tyvaso DPI, Nebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, and Orenitram) and our oncology product (Unituxin) are expensive therapies. Specialty pharmacy distributors may not be able to obtain adequate reimbursement for our products from commercial and government payers to motivate them to support our products. Third-party payers may reduce the amount of reimbursement for our products based on changes in pricing of other therapies for the same disease or the development of new payment methodologies to cover and reimburse treatment costs, such as the use of cost-effectiveness research or value-based payment contracts. Third-party payers often encourage the use of less-expensive generic alternative therapies, which has materially impacted our Adcirca revenues and which may materially impact our Remodulin revenues and revenues from our other products if and when generic competitors come to market. Similarly, pricing and rebating strategies for competitive therapies could put pressure on us to reduce the prices of our products and/ or offer increased rebates to third-party payers. If commercial or government payers do not cover our products or limit payment rates, patients and physicians could choose competing products or products with lower out-of-pocket costs.
We planhave to submitsubmitted an sNDA to the FDA by the end of summer 2026, seeking approval to add IPF to the labeled indications for Nebulized Tyvaso, based on the successful TETON-1 and TETON-2 results. Following any FDA approval, we then plan to submit a request to the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) to revise the local coverage determination (LCD) that governs Medicare Part B coverage for Nebulized Tyvaso, to allow coverage for the use of Nebulized Tyvaso for the new IPF indication. DME MACs have significant discretion with respect to the overall timing to update the LCD; once the process is initiated, it could take well over a year to complete. Until such time as the LCD is updated, we expect revenues generated by sales of Nebulized Tyvaso for the new IPF indication could be limited, since we believe that most U.S. IPF patients are Medicare beneficiaries.
•Our supply chain for raw materials and consumables extends worldwide and is complex. Suppliers based in China, India, and Taiwan play a role in our supply chain to support our second- and third-tier suppliers. Political unrest or trade disputes involving China, India, Taiwan, or other countries in our supply chain could impact our ability and the ability of our third-party manufacturers to source raw materials and consumables. We also have limited visibility into the supply chains on which our primary suppliers rely; as such, we rely on our primary suppliers to have robust risk mitigation strategies to detect issues and prevent supply disruption. Our commercial active pharmaceutical ingredient and all of our finished commercial product isare manufactured in the United States.
•In 2024 we completed a designated pathogen-free facility (DPF) facility to produce our xenotransplantation products for human clinical studies. This facility houses gene-edited pigs in a highly controlled containment environment. This facility is a first of its kind, and unforeseen operational issues or disease outbreak amongst its herd could significantly impact the clinical development timelines for our xenotransplantation products. We are constructing two additional DPF facilities to mitigate operational risk and increase capacity. We will need to construct additional DPF facilities at significant expense to support the development and commercialization of our xenotransplantation products. If development of our xenotransplantation products fails or demand is significantly less than anticipated, we will not recoup our significant investment in these unique facilities as they would be difficult to repurpose. Conversely, if we do not construct a sufficient number of facilities prior to approval of our xenotransplantation products, weit maywill not constructlimit the number of facilities thatorgans we believeare will ultimately be requiredable to meet patient demand, which may delay our ability to meet demandsupply when and if our xenotransplantation products are approved.
We rely entirely on third parties to supply pumps and other supplies necessary to administer Remodulin. There are a limited number of pumps and other supplies available in the market, and the discontinuation of any particular pump could have a material, adverse impact on our Remodulin revenues if a viable supply of an alternate pump is not available. We rely entirely on ICU Medical to manufacture the CADD-Solis pump, which is the primary pump used to administer intravenous Remodulin in the United States. We rely entirely on DEKA Research & Development Corp. and its affiliates to manufacture the Remunity and RemunityPRO Pumps, which are the primary pumps used to administer subcutaneous Remodulin in the United States. Additional ancillary supplies are used with these pumps, and there are a limited number of manufacturers that supply them.
Lilly manufactures and supplies Adcirca for us. We use Lilly’s pharmaceutical wholesaler network to distribute Adcirca. If Lilly is unable to manufacture or supply Adcirca or its distribution network is disrupted, it could delay, disrupt, or prevent us from selling Adcirca.
The products we develop must be approved for marketing and sale by regulatory agencies. Our research and development efforts must comply with extensive regulations, including those promulgated by the FDA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and their international counterparts, as applicable. The process of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for new drugs, biologics, and medical devices is lengthy, expensive, and uncertain. The regulatory approval process is particularly uncertain for our organ manufacturing program. Once approved, the manufacture, distribution, advertising, and marketing of our products are subject to extensive regulation, including requirements related to product labeling, pharmacovigilance and adverse effect reporting and processing (including both adverse events and product complaints), storage, distribution, and record-keeping. Our product candidates have in the past and may in the future fail to receive regulatory approval. If granted, product approvals can be conditioned on the completion of post-marketing clinical studies, accompanied by significant restrictions on the use or marketing of a given product and withdrawn for failure to comply with regulatory requirements, such as post-marketing requirements and post-marketing commitments, or upon the occurrence of adverse effects subsequent to commercial introduction. Our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our products has been, and in the future may be, materially impacted by the outcome and quality of our clinical trials and other data submitted to regulators, as well as the quality of our manufacturing operations and those of our third-party contract manufacturers and contract laboratories. In addition, third parties may submit citizen petitions to the FDA seeking to delay approval of, or impose additional approval conditions for, our products. CitizensCitizen petitions have in the past, and may in the future, significantly delay or prevent approval of our products.
In April 2025, the Trump administration announced a reduction in force at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, including layoffs at the FDA. These and other efforts to reduce the size of the FDA or its funding, combined with significant changes in FDA leadership, have begun to resultresulted in slower FDA response times and/or longer review periods, and may lead to less predictable outcomes. Future government shutdowns, funding disputes, reorganizations, furloughs, or reductions in resources or changes in priorities or focus may result in further delays. If response and review delays persist and/or worsen, they could potentially impact our ability to timely progressadvance our pipeline efforts on a timely basis or obtain regulatory approval for new products and new indications for existing products.
•Anti-kickback and false claim statutes, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the United Kingdom Bribery Act. In the United States, the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other activities, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving remuneration (i.e., anything of value) to induce, or in return for, the purchase, lease, order or arranging the purchase, lease or order of any health carehealthcare product or service reimbursable under any federally financed healthcare program like Medicare or Medicaid. This statute is interpreted broadly to apply to arrangements between pharmaceutical manufacturers and prescribers, purchasers, specialty pharmacies, formulary managers, patients, and others. Our practices may not always qualify for safe harbor protection under this statute.
•The Federal False Claims Act, which prohibits any person from knowingly presenting or causing to be presented a false or fraudulent claim for payment of government funds, or making or causing a false statement material to a false or fraudulent claim. Pharmaceutical and health carehealthcare companies have faced liability under this law for causing false claims to be submitted because they marketed a product for unapproved and non-reimbursable uses.
Compliance with these and similar laws on a state-by-state basis is difficult, time consuming, and requires substantial resources. Any investigation, inquiry, or other legal proceeding under these laws related to our operations, even if we successfully defend against it, or any penalties imposed upon us for failure to comply, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition or reputation. Sanctions under these federal and state laws may include treble civil monetary penalties, payment of damages, fines, exclusion of our products from reimbursement under federal health carehealthcare programs, imprisonment, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.
Our industry is highly regulated and changes in law or government health carehealthcare programs, like Medicaid or Medicare, may adversely impact our business, operations, or financial results. We cannot predict how future federal or state legislative or administrative changes related to healthcare reform will affect our business.
The Trump administration is pursuing a two-fold strategy to reduce drug costs in the U.S. On the one hand, the Trump administration has threatened to impose significant tariffs on pharmaceutical manufacturers that do not adopt pricing policies such as MFN pricing, which would tie the price for drugs in the U.S. to the lowest price in a group of other countries. In response, multiple manufacturers have entered into confidential pricing agreements with the federal government. On the other hand, the Trump administration is pursuing traditional regulatory pathways to impose drug pricing policies and published two proposed regulations in December 2025, referred to as GLOBE and GUARD. If finalized and adopted, and if they withstand any legal challenges, these regulations would implement mandatory payment models under which manufacturers of eligible drugs would be required to pay rebates to the federal government on a portion of the units of their drugs that are reimbursed by Medicare, with the rebate amount based on most favored nationMFN pricing. Imposing a rebate in the U.S. that is based on drug prices outside the U.S. would mark a drastic and unprecedented shift in the U.S. pharmaceutical market. While it is unclear whether and how the Trump administration proposals will be implemented, the Trump administration policies are likely to have a significant negative impact on the pharmaceutical industry and may negatively affect our ability to receive revenues from sales of our commercial products. Even regulatory proposals or executive actions that ultimately are deemed unlawful or otherwise repealed could negatively impact the U.S. pharmaceutical sector and our business.
In October 2020, HHS and the FDA issued a final rule and guidance concerning two new pathways for importing lower-cost drugs into the United States. The final rule allows certain prescription drugs to be imported from Canada, and the guidance describes procedures for drug manufacturers to facilitate the importation of FDA-approved drugs and biologics manufactured abroad and originally intended for sale in a foreign country into the United States. In January 2024, the FDA approved Florida’s drug importation plan. In November 2025, the FDA granted a six-month extension for Florida to begin implementing its plan.
The 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule amended the Medicare Part B “average sales price” regulations, including by mandating that, as part of the manufacturer “bona fide service fee” determination, manufacturers submit reasonable assumptions and, for all new service vendor contracts as of January 1, 2026, obtain certifications from service vendors that they do not pass on service fees in whole or in part.
TheThese legal reforms, as well as the IRA and other healthcare legislative or regulatory reform measures that may be adopted in the futurefuture, have resulted in, and may in the future result in additionalin, downward pressure on the payment that we receive for any of our approved product,products, and may adversely impact our business. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare and other government programs may result in a similar reduction in payment from commercial payers. Further state and federal healthcare reform measures adopted in the future could limit the amounts that state and federal governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for our products or additional pricing pressure.
It is difficult to predict the impact, if any, that future federal or state legislation, or executive actions, might have on the use of and reimbursement for our products in the United States, such as the potential for the importation of generic versions of our products, for reimbursement reductions or price caps underon stateour laws,products, or for increased difficulties and costs related to the distribution of our products.
We participate in, and have certain price reporting obligations to, the Medicaid Drug Rebate program, the Medicare program for Part B drugs, and other governmental programs that require us to pay rebates or offer discounts on our products.products, or establish reimbursement rates based on our reported pricing and other data. Certain programs, such as the 340B program, impose limits on the price we are permitted to charge certain entities for our products or for any future products for which we receive regulatory approval. Agencies continue to pursue and implement price reporting regulatory reforms under these programs. Changes to these programs could negatively affect the coverage and reimbursement by these programs of our products or any future products for which we receive regulatory approval and could negatively impact our results of operations. Our failure to comply with these price reporting, rebate payment, or pricing requirements could adversely impact our financial results. Applicable laws and regulations, including the IRA, could affect our obligations in ways we cannot anticipate.
We participate in the Public Health Service’s 340B drug pricing program (the 340B program) and have implemented a policy regarding the distribution of our drugs at 340B ceiling prices through third-party pharmacies that contract with 340B covered entities, known as “340B contract pharmaciespharmacies.”. Under our 340B contract pharmacy policy, which we adopted to address program integrity risks, our drugs are only shipped at the 340B ceiling price to those 340B contract pharmacies that meet certain criteria. Our policy has no impact on 340B purchases made by and distributed to 340B covered entities themselves. Our contract pharmacy policy preserves patient access, while addressing compliance and integrity concerns resulting from the proliferation of contract pharmacies. Nonetheless, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),HHS, in a non-binding (and now-retracted) Advisory Opinion, stated that manufacturers in the 340B program are obligated to sell their covered outpatient drugs at the 340B ceiling price to all contract pharmacies acting as agents of a covered entity. Certain covered entities have expressed the view that participating manufacturers are obligated to sell their covered outpatient drugs to all contract pharmacies of a covered entity.
We and certain other manufacturers initiated litigation challenging the Advisory Opinion and the U.S. Health ResourceResources and Services Administration (HRSA)’s position on contract pharmacies generally. HHS subsequently withdrew the Advisory Opinion, but HRSA issued letters to manufacturers, including us, threatening enforcement action if the manufacturers do not abandon their 340B contract pharmacy policies. We filed suit against HHS and HRSA in June 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In September 2021, HRSA sent to us, along with the other manufacturers challenging HRSA’s 340B interpretation, letters stating that HRSA was referring this issue to the OIG for potential enforcement action. We have not had any communication from the OIG regarding our 340B contract pharmacy policy. In November 2021, the court granted our motion for summary judgment, ruling that the letters threatening enforcement action “contain legal reasoning that rests upon an erroneous reading of Section 340B.” HRSA appealed, and the appellate court affirmed the lower court’s decision in our favor.
If HRSA or another entity develops a new theory of liability, we may face enforcement action or penalties as well as adverse publicity. Such an outcome may also prompt other parties to challenge our policies. It is also possible that covered entities could bring an action against us underthrough dispute mechanisms including the administrative dispute resolution pathway. We expect the compliance of policies like ours will continue to be litigated. We may also face enforcement action under the laws of certain states that are seeking to impose their own 340B contract pharmacy requirements. Such actions could, if determined adversely to us, result in penalties and other sanctions that could have a negative impact on our business. If we are unable to curb the proliferation of abuses caused by 340B contract pharmacies, we could see increased sales at 340B ceiling prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our revenues.
Company-sponsored patient assistance programs, including insurance premium and co-pay assistance programs and manufacturers’ donations to third-party charities that provide such assistance, are subject to heightened scrutiny. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has taken enforcement action against pharmaceutical companies alleging violations of the Federal False Claims Act and other laws in connection with patient assistance programs. We have been, and may in the future,future bebe, subject to DOJ investigations with respect to our support of non-profit patient assistance programs, which can result in sanctions, fines, or other payments and agreements with respect to our compliance programs. As discussed in Note 12—Litigation, to our consolidated financial statements, we have been sued by Humana Inc., United Healthcare Services, Inc., and various parties in the MSP Recovery litigation for allegedly violating RICO and various state laws in connection with our donations to a charity. These lawsuits, or other lawsuits in the future, could result in significant monetary judgments and the imposition of other penalties against us.
Members of Congress have called upon the OIG to issue revised guidance about patient assistance programs. Actions taken by the OIG, the DOJ, or other agencies as a result of this industry-wide inquiry could reduce demand for our products and/or coverage of our products by federal and state health carehealthcare programs. If any or all of these events occur, our business, prospects, and stock price could be materially and adversely affected.
Limitations on our intellectual property rights may limit our ability to prevent third parties from competing with our products, and we may not prevail in litigation to enforce or defend those rights.
Our intellectual property rights may not effectively deter competitors from developing competing products that, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and profits.
The period under which our commercial and developmental therapies are protected by our patent rights is limited. Our patents related to our individual treprostinil-based products expire at various times through 2042. We entered into settlement agreements with certain generic drug companies permittingin themthe toUnited launchStates under which generic versions of Remodulin inhave thelaunched, Uniteda Statesgeneric andversion otherof companiesNebulized Tyvaso is currently permitted to launchbe launched, and generic versions of NebulizedOrenitram Tyvasoare andpermitted Orenitramto be launched in the United States.future. In some instances, the FTC has brought actions against brand and generic companies that have entered into such agreements, alleging that they violate antitrust laws. Even in the absence of an FTC challenge, other governmental or private litigants may assert antitrust or other claims against us relating to such agreements. We have been sued by Sandoz for violating our settlement agreement with them, and we have accrued a liability of $74.9$75.7 million in connection with such suit, reflecting the final judgment and post-judgment interest accrued through the end of MarchJune 2026, although our ultimate liability may be greater. Other actions against us in the future could result in significant monetary judgments and the imposition of other penalties against us. We have no issued patents or pending patent applications covering the Unituxin drug product. For further details, see Part I, Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Generic Competition and Challenges to our Intellectual Property Rights.
WeOur patents have not prevented competitors from obtaining regulatory approval to market products that compete with our treprostinil-based products, and we cannot be sure that our existing or any new patents will effectively deter or delay competitors’ efforts to bring additional new products to market, or that additional patent applications will result in new patents. When our patents expire, competitors may develop generic versions of our products and market them at a lower price. Competitors may also seek to design around our patents or exclude patented methods of treatment, such as patent-protected indications, from the label for generic versions of our products in an effort to develop competing products that do not infringe our patents. In addition, patent laws of foreign jurisdictions may not protect our patent rights to the same extent as the United States’ laws.
Patent litigation canhas bebeen, and may continue to be, time consuming, distracting, and costly, and the outcome may be difficult to predict and unfavorable to us. IfWe have not always prevailed in the defense of our patents, and if we are unsuccessful in the defense of our remaining patents, our business could be negatively impacted.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure, much of which is outsourced to third parties including in cloud-based platforms. We collect, store, and use sensitive or confidential data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our suppliers, patients, healthcare providers, and business partners, and personally identifiable information. We recently launched a new patient relations program, United Therapeutics Cares, which has increased our access to sensitive information about our patients. Actual or alleged cybersecurity incidents, including those caused by employee error, malfeasance, system failures, malware, ransomware, viruses, distributed denial of servicesservice attacks, credential harvesting, social engineering, and other forms of unauthorized access or disclosure to, or disrupting the operation of, our networks and systems or those of our customers, suppliers, vendors, and other service providers, can cause the loss, destruction, or unauthorized access or disclosure of data, including personal information of employees or confidential or proprietary information, disruption of our manufacturing and other operations, and damage to our reputation and competitive position, any of which could be costly to address and remediate and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We are also subject to laws and regulations in the United States and abroad, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and European Union regulations related to data privacy, which require us to protect the privacy and security of certain types of information. Therefore, cybersecurity incidents could expose us to significant civil and/or criminal penalties, as well as private litigation, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
We enter into certain license agreements that generally prohibit our counterparties or their affiliates from taking necessary steps to acquire or merge with us, directly or indirectly throughout the term of the agreements, plus a specified period thereafter. We are also party to certain license agreements that restrict our ability to assign or transfer the rights licensed to us to third parties, including parties with whom we wish to merge, or those attempting to acquire us. These agreements often require that we obtain prior consent of the counterparties if we contemplate a change of control. If these counterparties withhold consent, related agreements could be terminated and we would lose related license rights. For example, Lilly and MannKind havehas the right to terminate our license agreements related to AdcircaTyvaso DPI and Tyvasoralinepag DPI, respectively, in the event of certain change of control transactions. These restrictive change of control provisions could impede or prevent mergers or other transactions that could benefit our shareholders.
One of the primary distinctions between a PBC and a traditional Delaware for-profit corporation is that, in making decisions, the directors of a PBC have an obligation to balance the financial interests of shareholders, the interests of stakeholders materially affected by the PBC’s conduct, and the pursuit of the corporation’s specific public benefit purpose. The application of this balancing obligation may allow our directors to make decisions that they could not have made pursuant to the fiduciary duties applicable prior to PBC conversion. There is no guarantee that our Board will resolve conflicts among the financial interests of our shareholders, our public benefit purpose, or stakeholders materially affected by our conduct, in favor of our shareholders’ financial interests. For instance, in a sale of control transaction, our Board would be required to consider and balance the factors listed above and might choose to accept an offer that does not maximize short-term shareholder value due to its consideration of other factors. This requirement of Delaware law may make our company a less attractive takeover target than a traditional for-profit corporation.

Our ability to achieve our objectives, grow our business, and maintain profitability will depend on many factors, including among others: (1) the timing and outcome of preclinical research, clinical trials, and regulatory approval applications for new products and new indications for existing products; (2) the timing and degree of our success in commercially launching new products and new indications for existing products; (3) the demand for our products; (4) the net price of our products and the reimbursement of our products by public and private health insurance organizations, including the impact on such net prices and reimbursement amounts as a result of the IRA, MFN, and other government initiatives focused on drug pricing, and as a result of additional payer rebates, and the timing and degree of success in obtaining reimbursement for new products and new indications for existing products; (5) the competition we face within our industry, including competition from generic companies, competition from Winrevair and Yutrepia, which launched in thesee in full comparisonrecentUnitedlaunchStatesofinYutrepia,2024 and 2025, respectively, and the potential launch of new branded and generic therapies for PAH, PH-ILD, IPF, and/orPPFPPF, such as Insmed Incorporated’s treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP); (6) our ability to effectively manage our business in an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment; (7) our ability to defend against challenges to our patents; and (8) the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A—Risk Factors, included in this Report.

We settled litigation with Sandoz related to its abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) seeking FDA approval to market a generic version of Remodulin and in March 2019, Sandoz announced the availability of its generic product in the United States. We have also entered into similar settlement agreements with other generic companies, some of which have also launched sales of generic versions of Remodulin. Through MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we have seen limited erosion of Remodulin sales as a result of generic treprostinil competition in the United States. We are currently engaged in litigation with Sandoz and its marketing partner, RareGen (now a subsidiary of Liquidia Corporation, the parent company of Liquidia), related to the infusion devices used to administer Remodulin subcutaneously. We understand that generic treprostinil was initially launched by Sandoz/RareGen for use only by intravenous infusion. In May 2021, Sandoz/Liquidia Corporation announced that Sandoz’s generic treprostinil was made available for subcutaneous use, following FDA clearance of a cartridge that can administer the product via the Smiths Medical CADD MS-3 pump. In addition, Liquidia has announced it is developingsupporting efforts to develop a new subcutaneous infusion system for its generic treprostinil product. See Note 12—Litigation, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
We are engaged in patent litigation with Liquidia concerning Yutrepia. Specifically, we allege that Yutrepia infringes a patent we own covering the treatment of PH-ILD to improve exercise capacity in patients suffering from PH-ILD by inhaling treprostinil at specific dosages. If we are successful in this litigation, we believe Liquidia will be required to remove PH-ILD as a labeled indication for Yutrepia until the expiration of our patent in February 2042. We are also engaged in litigation with Liquidia alleging trade secret misappropriation. In this case, we allege that a former executive of ours misappropriated trade secrets related to Tyvaso when he utilized them as an executive of Liquidia to aid in the development of Yutrepia. Finally, we are engaged in separate litigation against Liquidia alleging that Yutrepia infringes a patent that claims a method of treating pulmonary hypertension using inhaled treprostinil delivered in a specified dosage using a specified dosage regimen. This patent expires in May 2027.

Our research and development expenses primarily include costs associated with the research and development of new products, new indications for existing products, and various post-marketing research activities. These costs also include share-based compensation and salary-related expenses for research and development functions, professional fees for preclinical and clinical studies, costs associated with clinical manufacturing, facilities-related expenses, regulatory costs, and costs associated with payments to third-party contract manufacturers before FDA approval of the relevant product. Expenses also include costs for third-party arrangements, including upfront fees and milestone payments required under license arrangements for therapies under development.development, and adjustments to the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations. We do not track fully burdened research and development expenses by individual product candidate.
Currently, we grant stock options and restricted stock units under the United Therapeutics Corporation Amended and Restated 20152026 Stock Incentive Plan (the 20152026 Plan), and we may grant restricted stock units to newly hired employees under our 2019 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan (the 2019 Inducement Plan). The grant date fair values of stock options and restricted stock units are recognized as share-based compensation expense ratably over their vesting periods. The fair value of stock options is measured using inputs and assumptions under the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The fair value of restricted stock units is measured using our stock price on the date of grant. Historically, we granted awards under our United Therapeutics Corporation Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the Prior Plan), including during the six months ended June 30, 2026, and our Share Tracking Awards Plan (the STAP). The 2026 Plan replaced the Prior Plan and no further awards may be granted under the Prior Plan, although awards previously granted under the Prior Plan remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. Issuance of awards under thisthe planSTAP was discontinued in 2015 and all remaining outstanding STAP awards were exercised during the first quarter of 2025.
In September 2025, we announced that the TETON-2 phase 3 study of Nebulized Tyvaso in patients with IPF met its primary efficacy endpoint of demonstrating improvement in absolute forced vital capacity (FVC) relative to placebo. Nebulized Tyvaso demonstrated superiority over placebo for the change in absolute FVC by 95.6 mL (Hodges-Lehmann [H-L] estimate, p <0.0001) from baseline to week 52 in patients with IPF.
Integrated analyses of TETON-1 and TETON-2 showed statistically significant treatment effects compared to placebo from baseline to week 52 for the primary endpoint of change in absolute FVC by 111.8 mL (H-L estimate, p <0.0001) and most secondary endpoints, including time to first clinical worsening and first acute exacerbation of IPF and changes in percent predicted FVC, K-BILD score, and DLCO. Overall survival at week 52 trended in favor of Nebulized Tyvaso but did not meet statistical significance. Data from the TETON-1 study, and combined analyses of data from the TETON-1 and TETON-2 studies, were published in The New England Journal of Medicine in May 2026.
The TETON-2 study enrolled 597 patients and was conducted outside the United States and Canada. TETON-1 enrolled 598 patients in the United States and Canada. Treatment with Nebulized Tyvaso in these studies was well-tolerated, and the safety profile was consistent with previous Tyvaso studies and known prostacyclin-related adverse events. No new safety signal was seen in either study. Benefits of Nebulized Tyvaso were observed across all subgroups, such as use of background therapy (nintedanib, pirfenidone, or no background therapy), smoking status, and supplemental oxygen use. WeIn intendJune to2026, usewe the data from both the TETON-2 and TETON-1 studies to supportsubmitted a supplemental NDA (sNDA) to the FDA to add IPF to the labeled indications for Nebulized Tyvaso, which we plan to submit by the end of summer 2026.Tyvaso. We believe there are approximately 100,000 IPF patients in the United States.
We are developing a fixed-dose, drug-device combination product consisting of treprostinil and iloprost solution and an SMI. We are targeting this product for pro re nata (PRN), or “as-neededas-needed,”, use for PAH patients whose primary therapy is either an oral or inhaled prostacyclin-class therapy who may from time to time need a bridge between doses due to exercise activity. Iloprost is a prostacyclin-class therapy that is approved by the FDA to treat PAH via nebulized inhalation solution. Based on a preclinical research study, we believe there may be beneficial synergies when treprostinil and iloprost are dosed together on a PRN basis. We have completed pre-IND engagement with the FDA and are in the process of preparing an IND. Once the IND is cleared, we plan to proceed to a phase 1 pharmacokinetics and safety study in healthy volunteers, and eventually, a pivotal efficacy study in PAH patients.
WeIn planJune to2026, submitwe submitted an NDA forto the FDA seeking approval to market ralinepag extended-release tablets tofor the FDA by the end of summer 2026.PAH. If approved and launched, we expect ralinepag’s once-daily dosing profile to position it favorably compared with Uptravi (selexipag), which is a twice-daily IP-receptor agonist marketed by Johnson & Johnson for the treatment of PAH. In 2025, Johnson & Johnson reported global sales of Uptravi of over $1.9 billion, including over $1.5 billion in U.S. sales, reflecting a growth rate of approximately 5 percent over 2024.
We are developing an oral triple combination therapy consisting of ralinepag, an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), and a PDE-5 inhibitor. We have completed formulation development and dosage design work and plan to engage with the FDA on our proposed clinical development strategy following submission of our NDA for ralinepag extended-release tablets.strategy. Our triple combination therapy is intended to provide a convenient means of dosing patients with existing first-line oral therapies for PAH (an ERA and a PDE-5 inhibitor), along with once-daily ralinepag.
We are developing a dry powder inhalation (DPI) version of ralinepag. In August 2025, we exercised the option under our license and collaboration agreement with MannKind Corp. to develop ralinepag DPI utilizing the dry powder formulation technology used to manufacture Tyvaso DPI. We believe the half-life of ralinepag may support once-daily dosing of ralinepag DPI. We are currently in the process of formulatingconducting ralinepag DPI forIND-enabling non-clinical studiesstudies. andIn parallel, we are planning a subsequent phase 1 study in healthy volunteers to assess dosing and pharmacokinetic comparability with ralinepag extended-release tablets, which will inform a pivotal study in PAH patients to further assess safety and pharmacokinetic comparability. We initially intend to seek FDA approval of ralinepag DPI for PAH. We also plan to seek approval for PH-ILD, IPF, and PPF, which will require us to file separate INDs, and conduct additional clinical studies assessing safety and efficacy in patients with these conditions. Under the terms of our expanded agreement with MannKind, we will pay MannKind up to $35 million in development milestones and a 10 percent royalty on net sales of ralinepag DPI. Under our license agreement with Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc. (now owned by Pfizer Inc.), we will be obligated to pay a $250.0 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of ralinepag DPI, and a low double-digit, tiered royalty on net sales. We are constructing a manufacturing facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, which we plan to use to manufacture ralinepag DPI.
Our xenotransplantation program includes three development-stage organ products known as “xenograftsxenografts,”, which are intended to be transplanted from gene-edited pigs into humans.
In July 2025, we submitted an IND to the FDA related to our anticipated EXTEND clinical study of our UThymoKidney product. In August 2025, the FDA cleared this IND, enabling us to commence this study, which we expect will be similar in size and scope to the EXPAND study described above. WeIn areMay engaging with2026, the FDA ongranted clearance under our IND to proceed with a potential IND for aclinical study of our UHeart product. The study, which is known as the EXPRESS study, is expected to enroll an initial cohort of up to two adult patients with advanced heart failure. Following FDA review of available safety and efficacy data from the initial two transplants, the study may then be further expanded, with the intent to support a BLA with the FDA.
•Miromatrix. In December 2023, we acquired Miromatrix Medical Inc. (Miromatrix), a company based in Minnesota focused on the development of new technologies for generating manufactured kidneyskidney and liver alternatives composed of human primary cells. The development-stage Miromatrix external liver assist product, called miroliverELAP®, uses a decellularized porcine liver matrix that has been seeded with human-derived cells and an extracorporeal blood circuit to maintain liver support in patients experiencing acute liver failure. Miromatrix first used its decellularization technology to successfully develop two acellular products, MiroMesh® and MiroDerm®, which received FDA 510(k) clearance for hernia repair and wound care applications, respectively, and which were later spun off by Miromatrix. In January 2026, we announced that Miromatrix completed a phase 1 study of miroliverELAP in patients with acute liver failure. This study, which was the first human clinical trial of a manufactured organ alternative, met its primary endpoint. Miromatrix is planning to commence a phase 2 study, and the FDA has granted miroliverELAP Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy designation. Miromatrix is also developing miroliver®, a fully implantable manufactured liver alternative product, and mirokidney®, a fully implantable manufactured kidney alternative product, both of which are based on decellularized porcine organ scaffolds that have been reseeded with human-derived cells. Initially the Miromatrix products are intended to be made with cells from a human donor other than the recipient (also called “allogeneic” cells), requiring the use of standard immunosuppression protocols. Future versions may be based on the patient’s own cells (known as “autologous” cells), reducing or eliminating the need for immunosuppression drugs.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Lung Bioengineering Inc., provides commercial EVLP services on a fee-for-service basis to transplant centers through dedicated facilities located in Silver Spring, Maryland and Jacksonville, Florida, using the XPS System. In 2024,June 2026, Lung Bioengineering completedobtained FDA approval of a registrationalpremarket studyapproval ofapplication (PMA) for another centralized EVLP technology calledknown as the LungFX™ system (formerly referred to as the Centralized Lung Evaluation SystemSystem, (or CLES). andLungFX submittedis athe premarketfirst approvaldevice applicationapproved for centralized EVLP for donor organs not otherwise used for transplant.

Over 750800 patients have received lung transplants following use of our centralized EVLP service.services.
Thymic Immune Restoration
In July 2026, we acquired Thymmune Therapeutics, Inc. (Thymmune), a preclinical-stage company developing scalable, regenerative thymic cell therapies for the potential treatment of post-transplant organ tolerance, immunodeficiencies, and autoimmune diseases.
The thymus is a critical organ for the development and proper function of key parts of the immune system, including training T-cells, which are essential for fighting infections and other diseases. Thymmune has a proprietary process for converting human-induced pluripotent stem cells into thymic cells, which — once inside the body — are expected to mature into cell types that can restore healthy T-cell function.
Thymmune’s lead candidate, THY-100, is in preclinical development for congenital athymia, an ultra-rare and life-threatening condition in which infants are born without a functional thymus. Animal studies have shown that treatment with THY-100 results in the in vivo formation of a neo-thymus that is capable of facilitating T-cell development. The clinical proof of concept and further development of THY-100 have the potential to broaden thymic regenerative medicine approaches for transplant tolerance, serious immune-mediated diseases, and enhanced longevity for older adults with diminished T-cell function.
Under our agreement to acquire Thymmune, we will be obligated to pay former Thymmune equityholders up to $160.0 million in the aggregate upon the timely achievement of specified clinical and regulatory milestones for THY-100, consisting of (1) a potential payment of up to $60.0 million if the first patient is dosed in the initial human clinical trial of THY-100 on or before December 31, 2028; and (2) a potential payment of $100.0 million if the FDA accepts a Biologics License Application for THY-100 for review on or before December 31, 2031.
We anticipate that revenue growth over the near-term will be driven primarily by: (1) continued growth in sales of Tyvaso DPI; (2) continued growth in the number of PH-ILD patients prescribed Tyvaso DPI and Nebulized Tyvaso; (3) the launch of ralinepag extended-release tablets for PAH, following FDA approval; (4) the launch of Nebulized Tyvaso for IPF, following FDA approval; (5) FDA approval and launch of treprostinil SMI; (6) continued growth in the number of patients prescribed Orenitram; and (7) modest price increases for some of our products. We believe that additional revenue growth in the medium- and longer-term will be driven by the additional products and indications described above under Research and Development.
Our ability to achieve our objectives, grow our business, and maintain profitability will depend on many factors, including among others: (1) the timing and outcome of preclinical research, clinical trials, and regulatory approval applications for new products and new indications for existing products; (2) the timing and degree of our success in commercially launching new products and new indications for existing products; (3) the demand for our products; (4) the net price of our products and the reimbursement of our products by public and private health insurance organizations, including the impact on such net prices and reimbursement amounts as a result of the IRA, MFN, and other government initiatives focused on drug pricing, and as a result of additional payer rebates, and the timing and degree of success in obtaining reimbursement for new products and new indications for existing products; (5) the competition we face within our industry, including competition from generic companies, competition from Winrevair and Yutrepia, which launched in the recentUnited launchStates ofin Yutrepia,2024 and 2025, respectively, and the potential launch of new branded and generic therapies for PAH, PH-ILD, IPF, and/or PPFPPF, such as Insmed Incorporated’s treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP); (6) our ability to effectively manage our business in an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment; (7) our ability to defend against challenges to our patents; and (8) the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A—Risk Factors, included in this Report.
We have budgeted approximately $290$180 million for capital expenditures duringfor the period July 1, 2026 and through the end of 2028 to construct additional facilities to support the development and commercialization of our products and technologies. This amount is primarily dedicated to (a) construction of a new manufacturing facility in RTP that we intend to use to manufacture ralinepag DPI; and (b) construction of clinical-scale DPF facilities in Stewartville, Minnesota and Houston, Texas. We plan to fund these capital expenditures using cash on hand.
We operate in a highly competitive market in which several large pharmaceutical companies control many of the available PAH therapies, including Merck, which received FDA approval for Winrevair (sotatercept-csrk) to treat PAH in March 2024. These pharmaceutical companies are well established in the market and possess greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. In addition, Yutrepia was approved by the FDA in May 2025 for treatment of PAH and PH-ILD, and the product was launched commercially in June 2025. Competition from these products has adversely affected our treprostinil-based product sales, and competition from these and any future approved products could materially adversely affect our revenues. Despite this increase in competition, we believe revenues from our existing product portfolio will continue to grow, particularly given the addressable U.S. market opportunity for Tyvaso DPI and Nebulized Tyvaso in patients with PH-ILD. In addition, with the successful results of our ADVANCE OUTCOMES, TETON-1, and TETON-2 studies, we anticipate FDA approval of ralinepag extended-release tablets for PAH and Nebulized Tyvaso for IPF in the near-term, providing the opportunity for significant revenue through the end of the decade and beyond.
Three and Six Months Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and MarchJune 31,30, 2025
Total Tyvaso net product sales decreased four percent to $452.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and three percent to $910.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $469.6 million and $935.9 million for the same periods in 2025, respectively, driven by a decrease in Nebulized Tyvaso net product sales, partially offset by growth in Tyvaso DPI net product sales.
Total Tyvaso net product sales decreased two percent to $457.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $466.3 million for the same period in 2025, driven by a decrease in Nebulized Tyvaso net product sales, partially offset by growth in Tyvaso DPI net product sales. Tyvaso DPI net product sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in quantities sold of $16.0 million and, to a lesser extent, a price increase. Nebulized Tyvaso net product sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in U.S. quantities sold of $33.3 million and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in international net product sales, partially offset by a price increase.
Remodulin net product sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in quantities sold of $11.1 million.
OrenitramTyvaso DPI net product sales increased for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as compared to the same periodperiods in 2025, primarily due to an increase in quantities sold of $10.2$6.9 million.million and $22.9 million, respectively, and a price increase of $9.4 million and $20.9 million, respectively, partially offset by higher gross-to-net deductions.
Nebulized Tyvaso net product sales decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in U.S. quantities sold of $37.6 million and $70.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a price increase.
Remodulin net product sales decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to a decrease in U.S. quantities sold of $12.3 million and $23.4 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in international Remodulin net product sales.
We believe the availability of competitive therapies negatively impacted sales of Nebulized Tyvaso, Tyvaso DPI, and Remodulin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Orenitram net product sales increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in quantities sold of $12.2 million.
We recognize revenues net of: (1) rebates and chargebacks; (2) prompt pay discounts; (3) allowance for sales returns; and (4) distributor fees. These are referred to as gross-to-net deductions and are primarily based on estimates reflecting historical experiences as well as contractual and statutory requirements. We currently estimate our allowance for sales returns using reports from our distributors. The tables below present a reconciliation of the accounts associated with these gross-to-net deductions (in millions):
(1)See Share-Based Compensation section below for discussion.
Cost of sales, excluding share-based compensation. The increase in cost of sales for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as compared to the same periodperiods in 2025, was mainlyprimarily due to an increase in inventory reserve expense. Of thisthese increaseincreased amount,amounts $26.8for the three- and six-month periods, $7.5 million relatesand $34.3 million, respectively, related to an estimated losslosses fromunder a commercial supply agreement that we maintainintended to provide sufficient Tyvaso DPI inventory to meet the needs of our patients.
(3)See Share-Based Compensation section below for discussion.
Research and development, excluding share-based compensation. The decreaseincrease in research and development expense for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to: a decrease in milestone payments for drug delivery device technologies, partially offset by(1) an increase in personnelexpenditures expenses.related to cardiopulmonary treatment projects; and (2) an increase in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations for manufactured organ and organ alternative projects obtained through acquisition.
The increase in research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to: (1) an increase in expenditures related to cardiopulmonary treatment projects; and (2) an increase in personnel expense due to growth in headcount, partially offset by a decrease in milestone payments for drug delivery device technologies.
(1)Excluding impairment of PP&E. See Impairment of PP&E section below.
General and administrative, excluding impairment of PP&E and share-based compensation. The increase in general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, was primarily due to: (1) an increase in personnel expense due to growth in headcount; and (2) an increase in consulting expenses, partially offset by a decrease in legal expenses related to litigation matters.
Impairment of PP&E. The decrease in impairment of PP&E during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, was primarily due to the impairment charge to write down the carrying value of certain PP&E in 2025, which did not recur in 2026.
Sales and marketing, excluding share-based compensation. The increase in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in personnel expense due to growth in headcount.
The increase in sales and marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to: (1) an increase in consulting expenses; and (2) an increase in personnel expense due to growth in headcount.
Interest Income
Interest income was $31.5 million and $51.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was $73.3 million and $102.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in interest income in both periods was primarily due to a decrease in marketable investments due to the sale of securities to fund our two accelerated share repurchase agreements in March 2026 (the 2026 ASR agreements).
The increase in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in the number of unvested and outstanding performance-based stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. For more information, see Note 8—Share-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements.
Other Expense,Income (Expense), Net
TheOther changeincome in other expense,(expense), net for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026,2026 asand compared2025 towas $13.3 million in income and $0.1 million in expense, respectively. Other income (expense), net for the samesix periodmonths ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $33.0 million and $4.4 million in 2025,expense, wasrespectively. The changes in both periods were primarily due to net unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. See Note 3—Investments and Note 4—Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements.
Income tax expense for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 was $43.4$83.1 million and $101.3$200.2 million, respectively. Our effective income tax rate (ETR) for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 was 1412 percent and 24 percent, respectively. Our ETR for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 decreased compared to our ETR for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, primarily due to increased excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.
In March 2026, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $2.0 billion in aggregate repurchases of our common stock (plus the amount of any customary contingent settlement obligations that may arise upon the expiration or early termination of an accelerated share repurchase contract), which program expires on March 9, 2027. In connection with the repurchase program, in March 2026, we entered into two accelerated share repurchase agreements (the 2026 ASR agreements) with Citibank, N.A. (Citi) which comprisewere comprised of a $750 million uncollared share repurchase agreement (the 2026 Uncollared ASR) and a $750 million collared share repurchase agreement (the 2026 Collared ASR). Under the 2026 ASR agreements, we made an aggregate upfront payment of $1.5 billion to Citi on March 11, 2026, and we received initial deliveries of 992,120 and 708,657 shares of our common stock on March 11, 2026,stock, representing approximately 70 percent and 50 percent of the total shares that would be repurchased under the 2026 Uncollared ASR and 2026 Collared ASR, respectively, measured based on the closing price of our common stock on March 9, 2026. Upon completion of an agreed-upon hedging period and the subsequent determination of the minimum and maximum share amounts to be repurchased under the 2026 Collared ASR, we received an additional 463,682 shares of our common stock on March 30, 2026. The final settlement of the 2026 Uncollared ASR occurred in June 2026, and we received an additional 378,936 shares of our common stock upon settlement. The final settlement of the 2026 Collared ASR occurred in August 2026, and we received 215,948 shares of our common stock upon settlement. In total, we repurchased 2,759,343 shares of our common stock under the 2026 ASR agreements, of which 2,543,395 were held as treasury stock in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026.
The final number of shares that we ultimately repurchased pursuant to the 2026 Uncollared ASR was based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock during the repurchase period, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2026 Uncollared ASR.
The final number of shares that we ultimately repurchased pursuant to the 2026 Collared ASR was based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock during the repurchase period, less a discount and subject to a collar provision establishing minimum and maximum share amounts and other adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2026 Collared ASR.
The final number of shares that we will ultimately repurchase pursuant to the 2026 ASR agreements will be determined based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock during the repurchase period, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2026 ASR agreements. As discussed above, under the 2026 Collared ASR, the final number of shares we will ultimately repurchase will also be subject to a collar provision establishing the minimum and maximum numbers of shares to be repurchased, as well as other adjustments. At the final settlement of the 2026 ASR agreements, we may be entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock, or, under certain limited circumstances, be required to make an additional cash payment to Citi or, if we so elect, deliver shares of our common stock to Citi. The scheduled termination date of the 2026 Uncollared ASR is in the second quarter of 2026. The scheduled termination date of the 2026 Collared ASR is in the third quarter of 2026.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, $500 million remained available under our Board’sthe share repurchase authorizationprogram authorized by our Board for purchases through March 9, 2027.
We have funded our operations principally through sales of our commercial products and, from time-to-time, third-party financing arrangements. We believe that our current sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund ongoing operations and future business plans as we expect aggregate growth in revenues from our commercial products. Furthermore, our customer base remains stable, and we believe that it presents minimal credit risk. However, any projections of future cash flows are inherently subject to uncertainty, and we may seek other forms of financing. In April 2025, we entered into a credit agreement (the 2025 Credit Agreement), which provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 billion. Our outstanding balance under the 2025 Credit Agreement, which matures in 2031, was zero as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. See Unsecured Revolving Credit Facilities below for further details.
