United Therapeutics A PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION PRESS RELEASE UNITED THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS SILVER SPRING , Md . & RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK , N.C .-- ( BUSINESS WIRE ) -- United Therapeutics Corporation ( Nasdaq : UTHR ) , a public benefit corporation , today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30 , 2026. Total revenues in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by two percent year - over - year to $ 783.3 million , compared to $ 798.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 . " We just submitted what we believe are two of the most important NDAs in rare pulmonary disease history : ralinepag tablets in PAH and Nebulized Tyvaso in IPF , " said Martine Rothblatt , Ph.D. , Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of United Therapeutics . " We believe that these submissions , accompanied by our planned filings later this year - an IND application for ralinepag DPI and an NDA for treprostinil SMI - may herald an opportunity for a quantum increase in our growth by the end of the decade . By next year , we expect potential approvals for Nebulized Tyvaso in IPF and ralinepag tablets in PAH , two potentially transformative , multi - billion - dollar catalysts that could significantly enhance our growth profile . We expect Tyvaso DPI will then follow Nebulized Tyvaso's wake into IPF and then PPF . Moreover , our organ manufacturing pipeline continues to advance rapidly with clinical trials ongoing or being planned for liver , kidney , heart , and lung products , and the launch later this year of two xeno - organ production facilities in Minnesota and Texas . " " Tyvaso DPI exited the second quarter at record levels of starts , referrals , commercial patients , and total patients , reflecting strong underlying demand , " said Michael Benkowitz , President and Chief Operating Officer of United Therapeutics . " Supported by our competitively differentiated device , deep clinical experience , and significant remaining opportunity in PH - ILD , we are confident in our ability to extend our leadership position in the inhaled prostacyclin class .

Total revenues $ 783.3 $ 798.6 $ (15.3) (2)% Net income $ 333.0 $ 309.5 $ 23.5 8% Net income, per basic share $ 7.82 $ 6.86 $ 0.96 14% Net income, per diluted share $ 7.27 $ 6.41 $ 0.86 13% Revenues The table below presents the components of total revenues (dollars in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Dollar Change Percentage Change 2026 2025 Net product sales: Tyvaso DPI® $ 326.6 $ 315.2 $ 11.4 4% Nebulized Tyvaso® 126.0 154.4 (28.4) (18)% Total Tyvaso 452.6 469.6 (17.0) (4)% Remodulin®(1) 126.3 134.7 (8.4) (6)% Orenitram® 125.7 123.9 1.8 1% Unituxin® 65.2 58.4 6.8 12% Adcirca® 6.7 6.5 0.2 3% Other 6.8 5.5 1.3 24% Total revenues $ 783.3 $ 798.6 $ (15.3) (2)% (1)Net product sales include sales of infusion devices, including the Remunity® and RemunityPRO® Pumps. Total Tyvaso revenues decreased by four percent to $452.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $469.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, driven by a decrease in Nebulized Tyvaso revenues, partially offset by growth in Tyvaso DPI revenues. The growth in Tyvaso DPI revenues resulted primarily from an increase in quantities sold of $6.9 million and a price increase of $9.4 million, partially offset by higher gross-to-net deductions. The decrease in Nebulized Tyvaso revenues resulted primarily from a decrease in U.S. quantities sold of $37.6 million, partially offset by a price increase. The decrease in Remodulin revenues resulted primarily from a decrease in U.S. quantities sold of $12.3 million, partially offset by an increase in international revenues. 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.

The increase in general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period 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 months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period 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. Share-based compensation expense. The table below summarizes share-based compensation expense by major category (dollars in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Dollar Change Percentage Change 2026 2025 Category: Stock options $ 12.8 $ 11.1 $ 1.7 15% Restricted stock units 29.7 26.0 3.7 14% Employee stock purchase plan 0.9 0.7 0.2 29% Total share-based compensation expense $ 43.4 $ 37.8 $ 5.6 15% Interest income. Interest income was $31.5 million and $51.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in interest income 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).

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $13.3 million in income and $0.1 million in expense, respectively. The increase in other income was primarily due to net unrealized gains on equity securities. Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $39.7 million and $98.9 million, respectively. Our effective income tax rate (ETR) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 11 percent and 24 percent, respectively. Our ETR for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased compared to our ETR for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to increased excess tax benefits from share-based compensation. Share repurchase. 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, which expires on March 9, 2027. In March 2026, we also entered into the 2026 ASR agreements with Citibank, N.A. to repurchase approximately $1.5 billion of our common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we received an additional 378,936 shares of our common stock upon the first to settle of the 2026 ASR agreements. The other 2026 ASR agreement settled in August 2026, and we received an additional 215,948 shares of our common stock upon final 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. As of June 30, 2026, $500 million remained available under the share repurchase program authorized by our Board for purchases through March 9, 2027.
