Segment performance
United Therapeutics reported a record revenue quarter with $794 million in Q1 2025, representing 17% growth from Q1 2024. This was driven by robust results for treprostinil products including Tyvaso, Orenitram, Remodulin, and Unituxin. The revenue contribution from these products reflects consistent patient demand, growth in prescribers, and depth of prescribing within practices.

- Confident in sustained double-digit revenue growth with existing portfolio.
- Potential TETON data in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis could shift Tyvaso use into a larger market with orphan drug exclusivity.

Risks
- Risks associated with forward-looking statements in SEC filings.
- Unrelated infections impacting xenotransplantation trials and the need to manage immunosuppression.
