United Therapeutics Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

United Therapeutics Corporation (Nasdaq: UTHR), a public benefit corporation, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Total revenues in the third quarter of 2023 grew 18% year-over-year to $609.4 million, compared to $516.0 million in the third quarter of 2022.

“It’s a testament to our innovative research and commercial execution that we are again reporting record quarterly revenue and double-digit revenue growth,” said Martine Rothblatt, Ph.D., Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer. “On top of our record results, we continue to progress our near-term pipeline with the ongoing TETON 1 and TETON 2 studies of nebulized Tyvaso in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and the ADVANCE OUTCOMES study of ralinepag in pulmonary arterial hypertension, both of which could generate data in 2025.”

“With over $600 million in quarterly revenue, we’re well on our way to achieving our expected $4 billion annual run rate by mid-decade,” said Michael Benkowitz, President and Chief Operating Officer. “Our commercial teams achieved meaningful growth in all of our key products, and our recent field force expansion in PH-ILD will help us build on this momentum.”

Net product sales of our treprostinil-based products (Tyvaso DPI, nebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, and Orenitram) grew by $89.7 million, or 20%, for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to the third quarter of 2022. The growth in total Tyvaso revenues resulted primarily from an increase in total quantities sold driven by the commercial launch of Tyvaso DPI in June 2022 and continued growth in utilization by patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). The growth in Tyvaso DPI revenues resulted from an increase in quantities sold. The decrease in nebulized Tyvaso revenues resulted primarily from a decrease in quantities sold following the commercial launch of Tyvaso DPI. The increase in Remodulin revenues resulted from an increase in quantities sold.

The increase in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to an increase in STAP expense driven by a two percent increase in our stock price for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to an 11 percent decrease in our stock price for the same period in 2022.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $84.2 million and $73.2 million, respectively. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 24 percent and 23 percent, respectively.
