In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, United Therapeutics Corporation (UTHR) reported total revenues of $2,877.4 million, a 24% increase from $2,327.5 million in 2023, driven primarily by significant growth in sales of Tyvaso DPI and nebulized Tyvaso. Net income rose to $1,195.1 million, with earnings per share reaching $26.44. The company’s operating expenses totaled $1,500.4 million, influenced by increased costs in research and development, particularly for their organ transplantation initiatives and ongoing clinical trials. The firm continues to face competitive pressures, particularly from generic versions of its drugs and newly approved therapies like Merck's Winrevair. United Therapeutics has also emphasized expanding manufacturing capacity and maintaining compliance with evolving healthcare regulations, particularly those stemming from the Inflation Reduction Act. The company holds a robust cash position of $1,697.2 million and has entered into a credit agreement allowing for $2 billion in borrowing. However, it anticipates challenges related to pricing pressures, particularly from government payers. The outlook remains cautiously optimistic as the company continues to innovate in organ transplantation technologies while navigating a complex regulatory landscape.
