Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- Organization and Business Description
United Therapeutics Corporation is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative products to address the unmet medical needs of patients with chronic and life-threatening conditions. In 2021, we converted to a Delaware public benefit corporation, with the express public benefit purpose to provide a brighter future for patients through (a) the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and (b) technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.
We have approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the following therapies: Tyvaso DPI® (treprostinil) Inhalation Powder (Tyvaso DPI), Tyvaso® (treprostinil) Inhalation Solution (Nebulized Tyvaso), Remodulin® (treprostinil) Injection (Remodulin), Orenitram® (treprostinil) Extended-Release Tablets (Orenitram), Unituxin® (dinutuximab) Injection (Unituxin), and Adcirca® (tadalafil) Tablets (Adcirca). We also derive revenues outside the United States from sales of Nebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, and Unituxin, and within the United States from sales of commercialex vivo lung perfusion services.
As used in these notes to our consolidated financial statements, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and similar terms refer to United Therapeutics Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of United Therapeutics Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year current liabilities previously presented separately in our consolidated balance sheets have been aggregated with other current liabilities to conform to the current year presentation. In the operating activities section of our consolidated statements of cash flows, we reclassified a portion of the prior period amount within other assets and liabilities to the line item deferred income taxes to conform with the current period presentation. This reclassification had no effect on previously reported net cash provided by operating activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on assumptions regarding historical experience, currently available information, and anticipated developments that we believe are reasonable and appropriate. However, because the use of estimates involves an inherent degree of uncertainty, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, share-based compensation, determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, marketable investments, fair value measurements (including those related to contingent consideration), inventory reserves, investments in privately-held companies, income taxes, goodwill and other intangible assets, and obligations related to the United Therapeutics Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP).
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The objective of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Such transactions to sell an asset or transfer a liability are assumed to occur in the principal market for that asset or liability, or in the absence of the principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement disclosures are required to be classified according to a three-level fair value hierarchy with respect to the inputs (or assumptions) used to determine fair value. The level in which an asset or liability is disclosed within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the related fair value measurement in its entirety. The guidance under the fair value measurement framework applies to other existing accounting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) codification that requires or permits fair value measurements. See related disclosures in Note 5—Fair Value Measurements.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
Marketable Investments
Our marketable investments are primarily debt securities that we classify as available-for-sale. If we have both the positive intent and the ability to hold the securities until maturity, we have the option to classify the securities as held-to-maturity. We determine the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluate the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value, with the portion of the unrealized gains and losses that are not credit-related included as a component ofaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity, until realized. Held-to-maturity debt securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization of discounts or premiums. Related discounts and premiums are amortized over the term of these securities as an adjustment to the yield using the effective interest method. Marketable investments are classified as either current ornon-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets based on their contractual maturity dates.
We monitor our available-for-sale debt securities for impairment quarterly or more frequently if circumstances warrant. In the event that the amortized cost of a debt security exceeds its fair value, we evaluate whether any impairment is a result of credit loss or other factors. For investments in an unrealized loss position, we determine whether a credit loss exists by considering information about the collectability of the instrument, current market conditions, the investment issuer’s financial condition and business outlook, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. An allowance for credit losses would be recorded in our consolidated statements of operations in the event the decline in the investment’s fair value was a result of credit loss, and unrealized losses not related to credit losses would be recorded inother comprehensive income (loss).
Our marketable investments also include investments in publicly-traded companies. The equity securities we own in these companies are recorded at fair value. Changes in the fair value of publicly-traded equity securities are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations within other income (expense), net.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value and consist of the following, net of reserves (in millions):
| As of December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Raw materials | $30.6 | $28.6 |
| Work-in-progress | 35.3 | 34.3 |
| Finished goods | 117.2 | 95.0 |
| Total inventories | $183.1 | $157.9 |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The carrying amount of goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing. We conduct our impairment testing of goodwill annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Initially, we evaluate various pertinent qualitative factors to assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit to which goodwill has been assigned is less than its carrying value. Such qualitative factors can include, among others: (1) industry and market conditions; (2) present and anticipated sales and cost factors; and (3) overall financial performance. If we conclude based on our qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then measure the fair value of the reporting unit and compare its fair value to its carrying value. The impairment charge is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We performed a qualitative assessment for our goodwill impairment testing for 2025, 2024, and 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 our evaluation of goodwill didnot result in any impairment losses.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are evaluated annually or more frequently for impairment if impairment indicators exist. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets include purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets, which were measured at their estimated fair values as of their acquisition dates. There wereno impairment losses related to indefinite-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.
Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. Amortization is recorded over the assets’ useful lives on a straight-line basis. Impairment losses are measured and recognized to the extent the carrying value of such assets exceeds their fair value. We recordedno impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 related to intangible assets subject to amortization.

Related amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, was $0.9 million, $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, aggregate amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for each of the five succeeding years and thereafter is estimated to be less than $1.0 million per year.
Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E)
PP&E is recorded at cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of PP&E by major category are as follows:
| Land improvements | 15 Years |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 25-39 Years |
| Building improvements | 10-39 Years |
| Furniture, equipment, and vehicles | 3-25 Years |
| Leasehold improvements | Remaining lease term, or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter |
PP&E consists of the following (in millions):
| As of December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Land and land improvements | $266.5 | $181.9 |
| Buildings, building improvements, and leasehold improvements | 944.7 | 863.8 |

| Less—accumulated depreciation | (567.8) | (491.2) |
| PP&E, net | $1,729.7 | $1,222.4 |
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, was $84.7 million, $71.6 million, and $52.9 million, respectively.
Buildings under construction consist of direct costs related to our construction projects.
In July 2025, we acquired approximately 60 acres of property containing five buildings located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (RTP) for future growth of our RTP campus. The total purchase price was $106.8 million, inclusive of taxes, closing costs, and other related expenses. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value was concentrated in the land and buildings we acquired, which together comprise a single group of similar assets. We allocated the purchase price primarily toland and land improvements andbuildings, building improvements, and leasehold improvements, which were recorded within property, plant, and equipment, netin our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recorded $21.7 million, zero, and $3.6 million of PP&E impairment charges in the aggregate, respectively, which were recorded within selling, general, and administrative in our consolidated statements of operations.
Investments in Privately-Held Companies
We measure our non-controlling equity investments in privately-held companies using the measurement alternative because the fair values of these investments are not readily determinable. Under this alternative, the investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for any observable price changes. We monitor these investments individually for any observable price changes or impairment indicators. We adjust the measurement of these investments for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. We consider relevant transactions, including any potential funding opportunities, which occur on or before the balance sheet date in evaluating whether any observable price changes have occurred. When a relevant transaction is identified, a review of the attendant rights and obligations, such as voting rights, liquidation preferences, and protective provisions, is necessary to evaluate whether such a transaction is deemed to be a similar or identical investment. When a transaction is identified as similar or identical to our investment, we assess the fair value of our investment using various inputs, such as the discount rate, time to a liquidation event, and volatility, in a valuation model or analysis. We include our investments in privately-held companies within other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
These investments are subject to a periodic impairment review and if impaired, the investment is measured and recorded at fair value in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements. At each reporting date, we review these investments individually for impairment by evaluating whether events or circumstances have occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments. If such events or circumstances have occurred, we will estimate the fair value of the investment. In such cases, we determine the estimated fair value of the investment using unobservable inputs including assumptions by the company’s management.
Treasury Stock
Repurchased treasury stock is recorded at cost, including commissions and fees. The cost of treasury shares sold or reissued is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Related gains and losses on sales of treasury stock are recognized as adjustments to stockholders’ equity.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) imposes a one percent excise tax on net share repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $1.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, in excise taxes imposed under the IRA, which amounts were included intreasury stock in our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We determine revenue recognition for our contractual arrangements with customers based on the following five steps: (1) identify each contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the relevant performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer.
Revenues are generated from the sale of our commercially approved products: Tyvaso DPI, Nebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, Orenitram, Unituxin, and Adcirca. We recognize revenue when we transfer control of our product to our distributors, which is generally when the product is shipped or delivered to the distributor.
See Note 13—Segment Information, for information on revenues disaggregated by commercial products and other, geographic area, and customer.
Gross-to-Net Deductions
As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, our product sales are recorded net of various forms of gross-to-net deductions. These deductions vary the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the sale of our products to our distributors, and include reserves for: (1) rebates and chargebacks; (2) prompt payment discounts; (3) allowance for sales returns; and (4) distributor fees and other allowances. We estimate these reserves in the same period that we recognize revenue for product sales to distributors. The net product sales amount recognized represents the amount we believe will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue.
Estimating gross-to-net deductions involves the use of significant assumptions and judgments, as well as information obtained from external sources. For our rebate and chargeback liabilities, in particular, the time lag experienced in the payment of the rebate or chargeback may result in revisions of these accruals in future periods. However, based on our significant history and experience estimating these accruals and our development of these accruals based on the expected value method, we do not believe there will be significant changes to our estimates recorded during the period of sale. We recognized an aggregate decrease in our net product sales of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and, aggregate increases in our net product sales of $12.5 million and $5.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to changes in these estimates of revenue recognized from product sales in prior periods.

Rebates and chargebacks. Allowances for rebates include mandated discounts due to our participation in various government healthcare programs (including Medicare Part D inflationary rebates required under the IRA), contracted rebates to certain domestic distributors, and contracted discounts we pay managed care organizations covering Medicare Part D and commercial plans. We estimate our rebate liability on a product-by-product basis, considering actual revenue, contractual discount rates, expected utilization under each contract, and historical payment experience. We also consider changes in our product pricing and information regarding changes in program regulations and guidelines. Our chargebacks represent contractual discounts payable to distributors for the difference between the invoice price paid to us by the distributor for a particular product and the contracted price that the distributor’s customer pays for that product. We estimate our chargeback liability on a product-by-product basis, primarily considering historical payment experience. Although we accrue a liability for rebates and chargebacks in the same period the product is sold, third-party reporting and payment of the rebate or chargeback amount occur on a time lag, with the majority of rebates and chargebacks paid withinsix months from 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 following the end of those periods. Our liability for rebates and chargebacks is included inaccounts payable and accrued expensesand other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our accrued rebates and chargebacks were $238.9 million and $140.8 million, respectively. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recognized $522.3 million, $345.4 million, and $275.5 million, respectively, in revenue deductions associated with rebates and chargebacks.
Prompt payment discounts. We offer prompt pay discounts to many of our distributors, typically for payments made within 30 days. Prompt pay discounts are estimated in the period of sale based on our experience with sales to eligible distributors. Our domestic distributors have routinely taken advantage of these discounts and we expect them to continue to do so. Prompt pay discounts are recorded as a deduction to the accounts receivable balance presented in our consolidated balance sheets.
Product returns. The sales terms for Adcirca and Unituxin include return rights that extend throughout the distribution channel. For Adcirca, we recognize an allowance for returns as customers have the right to return expired product for up to 12 months after the product’s expiration date (generally 18 to 36 months after the initial sale). For Unituxin, we ship product with expiration dates that are generally nine to 14 months after the initial sale and customers have the right to return expired product for up to 12 months after the product’s expiration date. For sales of our other commercial products, we do not offer our customers a general right of return. Our allowance for product returns for Adcirca and Unituxin for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was not material. We record our allowance for product returns inother current andnon-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Distributor fees. Distributor fees include distribution and other service fees paid to certain distributors. These fees are based on contractual amounts or rates applied to purchases of our product or units of service provided in a given period. Our liability for distributor fees is included inaccounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets.
Trade Receivables
We invoice and receive payment from our customers after we recognize revenue, resulting in receivables from our customers that are presented asaccounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets. Accounts receivable consist of short-term amounts due from our distributors (generally 30 to 90 days) and are stated at the amount we expect to collect. We establish an allowance for expected credit losses, if deemed necessary, based on our assessment of the collectability of specific distributor accounts. We did not recognize any credit losses for accounts receivable for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Changes in accounts receivable are primarily due to the timing and magnitude of orders of our products, the timing of when control of our products is transferred to our distributors, and the timing of cash collections.
Adcirca
Adcirca is manufactured for us by Lilly and distributed through its pharmaceutical wholesaler network on our behalf. Specifically, Lilly handles all the administrative functions associated with the sale of Adcirca on our behalf, including the receipt and processing of customer purchase orders, shipment to customers, and invoicing and collection of customer payments. We recognize sales of Adcirca on a gross basis (net of reserves for gross-to-net deductions) based on our determination that we are acting as a principal due to our control of the product prior to its transfer to our customers. Our control is evidenced by our substantive ownership of product inventory, the fact that we bear all inventory risks, our primary responsibility for the acceptability of the product to our customers, and our ability to influence net product sales through our contracting decisions with commercial payers and participation in governmental-funded programs.
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred except for payments made in advance of services to be provided to us. Related expenses consist of internal labor and overhead, costs to acquire pharmaceutical products and product rights for development, materials used in clinical trials, amounts paid to third parties for services, and materials related to drug development and clinical trials.
As part of our business strategy, we may in-license the rights to develop and commercialize product candidates. For each in-license transaction, we evaluate whether we have acquired processes or activities along with inputs that would be sufficient to constitute a “business” as defined under GAAP. As defined under GAAP, a “business” consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs. Although businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set of activities to qualify as a business. When we determine that we have not acquired sufficient processes or activities to constitute a business, any up-front payments, as well as pre-commercial milestone payments, are immediately expensed as acquired IPR&D in the period in which they are incurred. Milestone payments made to third parties subsequent to regulatory approval are capitalized as intangible assets and amortized over the estimated remaining useful life of the related product.
We recognize the following costs, among others, as research and development expense in the period related costs are incurred:
costs associated with in-house or contracted manufacturing activities prior to receiving FDA approval for the applicable products, or for major unproven changes to our manufacturing processes;
costs incurred in-licensing the rights to technologies in the research and development stage that have no alternative future use; and
up-front payments made in connection with arrangements to obtain license and distribution rights to pharmaceutical product candidates prior to regulatory approval, absent any alternative future use.
Generally, the fair value of a stock option grant is measured on its grant date and related compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period. We issue new shares of our common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Certain executives have stock options that vest over a service period and upon achievement of specific performance conditions. Share-based compensation expense for all stock option awards is recorded ratably over their vesting period, depending on the specific terms of the award and achievement of the specified performance conditions. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. See Note 8—Share-Based Compensation.
We measure the fair value of restricted stock units using the stock price on the date of grant, and related compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Each restricted stock unit entitles the holder to receiveone share of our common stock upon vesting. We issue new shares of our common stock upon the vesting of restricted stock units. Certain executives and certain other employees have restricted stock units that vest over a service period and upon achievement of specific performance conditions. Share-based compensation expense for restricted stock units is recorded ratably over their vesting period, depending on the specific terms of the award and achievement of any specified performance conditions.
We previously issued awards under the United Therapeutics Corporation 2011 Share Tracking Awards Plan (the STAP), which required cash settlement of awards issued under the STAP upon exercise of the awards. STAP awards were classified as a liability. Accordingly, the fair value of related cash-settled awards was re-measured at each reporting date until awards were exercised or otherwise no longer outstanding. Related changes in the fair value of outstanding cash-settled awards at each financial reporting date were recognized as adjustments to share-based compensation expense. We discontinued the issuance of STAP awards in June 2015 and all remaining outstanding STAP awards were exercised during the first quarter of 2025.
We measure the fair value of stock to be purchased through our employee stock purchase plan at the beginning of an offering period, or grant date, and recognize related compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period (the offering period). We issue new shares of our common stock upon the end of each offering period, or exercise date.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We apply a valuation allowance against any net deferred tax asset if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We recognize the benefit of an uncertain tax position that has been taken or that we expect to take on income tax returns only if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained. We recognize the benefit in an amount equal to the largest amount that we determine has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions could result in amounts different from those recognized in our consolidated financial statements.
We have elected to account for the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income as a component of tax expense in the period in which the tax is incurred.

Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options, outstanding RSUs, and shares issuable under the ESPP, as if the RSUs were vested, the stock options were exercised, and the shares expected to be issued under the ESPP at the end of the then-current offering period were issued. During periods in which we incur net losses, both basic and diluted loss per common share are calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that are exposed to credit risk consist of cash, money market funds, certificates of deposit, marketable debt securities, and trade receivables. We maintain our cash and money market funds with financial institutions that are federally insured. While balances deposited in these institutions often exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits, we have not experienced any losses on related accounts to date. Furthermore, we limit our risk exposure by maintaining funds in financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy and financially sound. Our investments in marketable debt securities have been issued by corporate entities and government-sponsored enterprises with high credit ratings. We mitigate investment risks by investing in highly-rated securities with relatively short maturities that we believe do not subject us to undue investment or credit risk. In addition, our investment policy does not provide for investments in complex or structured financial instruments. At any given time, our trade receivables are concentrated among a small number of principal customers. If any of these financial institutions, issuers, or customers fail to perform their obligations under the terms of these financial instruments, our maximum exposure to potential losses would be equal to amounts reported in our consolidated balance sheets.
- Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, enhancing the required disclosures primarily related to the annual income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU requires an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation to provide additional information for reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold, and to disclose certain selected categories within the income tax rate reconciliation. This ASU also requires entities to disclose the amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes. This ASU is effective for this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 expands our income tax disclosures, but has no impact on reported income tax expense or related tax assets or liabilities. We adopted the new standard on a retrospective basis for the annual period ended December 31, 2025, with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 10—Income Taxes.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements. Public business entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively and may elect to apply it retrospectively. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held 87 and 227 available-for-sale debt securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position. In assessing whether the decline in fair value as of December 31, 2025 of any of these securities resulted from a credit loss, we consulted with our investment managers and reviewed the credit ratings for each security. We believe that these unrealized losses are a direct result of the current interest rate environment and do not represent an indication of credit loss. We do not intend to sell the investments in unrealized loss positions prior to their maturity and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. There wereno impairments due to credit loss on our available-for-sale debt securities during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Investments in Equity Securities with Readily Determinable Fair Values
We held investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values of $126.9 million and $23.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included incurrent marketable investments in our consolidated balance sheets. One of the privately-held companies in which we invested became publicly traded in 2025. As a result, our investment in the equity securities of this company is recorded at fair value and included within current marketable investments in our consolidated balance sheets rather than measured as described below under Investments in Privately-Held Companies. Changes in the fair value of publicly-traded equity securities are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations within other income (expense), net. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we hadno sales of equity securities with readily determinable fair values.
Investments in Privately-Held Companies
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we maintained non-controlling equity investments in privately-held companies of $53.8 million and $59.0 million, respectively, in the aggregate within other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We made payments of $55.0 million and $30.5 million for investments in privately-held companies during the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. No such payments were made during the year ended December 31, 2023.
When an observable price transaction occurs that is identified as similar or identical to our investment, we perform a valuation analysis to assess the fair value of our investment using various inputs, such as the discount rate, expected time to a liquidation event, and price volatility of peer company stocks. We adjust the fair value of our investment based on the valuation analysis and recognize the gain or loss in the period in which the observable price change occurred.
For non-controlling equity investments in privately-held companies in which we held an investment as of December 31, 2025, cumulative impairments and downward fair value adjustments were $5.3 million and cumulative upward fair value adjustments were $1.9 million.
Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
We evaluate our interests in VIEs and will consolidate any VIE in which we have a controlling financial interest and are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If both of the characteristics are met, we are considered to be the primary beneficiary and therefore will consolidate that VIE into our consolidated finan cial statements.
Unconsolidated VIE
In November 2019, we entered into a supply agreement with an affiliate of DEKA Research & Development Corporation (DEKA) to manufacture and supply the Remunity® Pump to us. The supply agreement was later amended to include supply of the RemunityPRO™ Pump. Under the terms of the supply agreement, we reimburse all the affiliate’s costs to manufacture and supply the Remunity and RemunityPRO systems. We determined that the affiliate is a VIE as we are the primary customer of the affiliate and the affiliate currently relies on our reimbursement of its costs to sustain its operations. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of the affiliate as we do not have the power to direct or control its significant activities related to the manufacturing of medical devices. Accordingly, we have not consolidated the affiliate’s results of operations and financial position with ours. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our consolidated balance sheets included $21.2 million and $13.8 million of assets, respectively, related to the supply agreement. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our consolidated balance sheets included a $3.2 million and $5.6 million liability, respectively, for our obligation to reimburse costs related to the supply agreement. While the terms of the supply agreement expose us to various future risks of loss given our responsibility to reimburse all costs incurred by the affiliate to manufacture and supply the Remunity and RemunityPRO systems, we believe that our maximum exposure to loss as of December 31, 2025 as a result of our involvement with the affiliate is $21.2 million, the amount of assets related to the supply agreement noted above.
Consolidation of VIEs
In August 2019 and July 2022, we entered into operating agreements and trust agreements related to the contribution of assets to newly created trusts of which we are the beneficiary. The trusts were created for legal and administrative purposes and are not expected to make future purchases. As the operator of the assets, we are required to incur all future expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the assets. Accordingly, the trusts are deemed VIEs because they rely on our capital to sustain future operating expenses. We are deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because we are the sole provider of financial support and can unilaterally remove the trustee without cause. Accordingly, we consolidate the VIE’s balance sheet and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2025, our consolidated balance sheets included $55.7 million of assets due to the consolidation of these VIEs included within property, plant, and equipment, net. Upon consolidating the VIEs, which were not deemed a business as defined in ASC 805, Business Combinations, no gain or loss was recognized. These VIEs have no recourse against our assets and general credit, and the VIEs’ assets cannot be used to settle the VIEs’ liabilities. Our total risk of loss is the $55.7 million of assets we contributed, as noted above.
- Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements are required to be disclosed within a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value. Accordingly, assets and liabilities carried at, or permitted to be carried at, fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy in one of the following categories based on the lowest level input that is significant in measuring fair value:
Level 1—Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2—Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Fair value is determined by using inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgment.

(3)Included incurrent marketable investments in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $43.0 million and $9.0 million of net unrealized gains in the aggregate, respectively, on these securities. We recorded these gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations within other income (expense), net. See Note 4—Investments—Marketable Investments—Investments in Equity Securities with Readily Determinable Fair Values.
(4)Included inother current liabilitiesand other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our contingent consideration obligations is estimated using probability-weighted discounted cash flow models (DCFs). The DCFs incorporate Level 3 inputs, including estimated discount rates, that we believe market participants would consider relevant in pricing and the projected timing and amount of cash flows, which are estimated and developed, in part, based on the requirements specific to each acquisition agreement. The fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities increased by $7.8 million from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025. The loss was recorded within research and development in our consolidated statements of operations.

- Debt
2025 Credit Agreement
In April 2025, we entered into a credit agreement (the 2025 Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo) as administrative agent and a swingline lender, and various other lender parties, which provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 billion (which facility may, at our request, be increased by up to $750 million in the aggregate subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders for such increase and other conditions). The facility will mature on April 25, 2030, subject to the lenders’ ability to extend the maturity date byone year if we request such an extension in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Credit Agreement, up to a maximum oftwo such extensions.
At our option, amounts borrowed under the 2025 Credit Agreement bear interest at either an adjusted Term Secured Overnight Finance Rate (Term SOFR) or a fluctuating base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin determined on a quarterly basis based on our consolidated ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (as calculated in accordance with the 2025 Credit Agreement). To date, we have elected to calculate interest on the outstanding balance at an adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin.
On April 25, 2025, we borrowed $200.0 million under the 2025 Credit Agreement, and used the funds to repay outstanding indebtedness under the 2022 Credit Agreement, as discussed below under the 2022 Credit Agreement.
During the second quarter of 2025, we paid down the entire $200.0 million balance under the 2025 Credit Agreement, which brought our aggregate outstanding balance tozero as of June 30, 2025. Our aggregate outstanding balance under the 2025 Credit Agreement remained zero as of December 31, 2025.
The 2025 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants.
The interest expense reported in our consolidated statements of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, relates to our borrowings under the 2025 Credit Agreement and 2022 Credit Agreement.
2022 Credit Agreement
In March 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the 2022 Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo, as administrative agent and a swingline lender, and various other lender parties, which provided for: (1) an unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $1.2 billion; and (2) a second unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $800.0 million.
As of December 31, 2024, our outstanding aggregate principal balance under the 2022 Credit Agreement was $300.0 million. During the first quarter of 2025, we paid down $100.0 million of our balance under the 2022 Credit Agreement, which brought our aggregate outstanding balance down to $200.0 million as of March 31, 2025.
On April 25, 2025, we terminated the 2022 Credit Agreement and entered into the 2025 Credit Agreement. We repaid in full all our obligations under the 2022 Credit Agreement in connection with the termination of the 2022 Credit Agreement and our entry into the 2025 Credit Agreement. There were no penalties associated with the early termination of the 2022 Credit Agreement.

- Share-Based Compensation
As of December 31, 2025, we haveone shareholder-approved equity incentive plan: the United Therapeutics Corporation Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the 2015 Plan). The 2015 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 14,770,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to awards granted under the 2015 Plan, which includes 950,000 shares that were added pursuant to an amendment and restatement of the 2015 Plan approved by our shareholders in June 2025. We also haveone equity incentive plan, the United Therapeutics Corporation 2019 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan (the 2019 Inducement Plan), that has not been approved by our shareholders, as permitted by the Nasdaq Stock Market rules. The 2019 Inducement Plan was approved by our Board of Directors in February 2019 and provides for the issuance of up to 99,000 shares of our common stock under awards granted to newly-hired employees. Currently, we grant equity-based awards to employees and members of our Board of Directors in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) under the 2015 Plan, and we may grant RSUs to newly-hired employees under the 2019 Inducement Plan. See the sections entitled Stock Options and RSUs below for additional information regarding these equity-based awards.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we issued stock options and RSUs to certain executives with vesting conditions tied to the achievement of specified performance criteria through the end of 2027, 2026, and 2025, respectively. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we issued RSUs to certain other employees with vesting conditions tied to the achievement of specified performance criteria through the end of 2026 and 2028. Throughout the performance period, we reassess the estimated performance and update the number of performance-based awards that we believe will ultimately vest. Estimating future performance requires the use of judgment. Upon the conclusion of the performance period, the performance level achieved and the ultimate number of stock options and RSUs that may vest are determined. Share-based compensation expense for these awards is recorded ratably over their vesting period, depending on the specific terms of the award and anticipated achievement of the specified performance criteria.
We previously issued awards under the STAP. We discontinued the issuance of STAP awards in June 2015 and all remaining outstanding STAP awards were exercised during the first quarter of 2025. See the section entitled STAP Awards below for additional information regarding STAP awards.
In 2012, our shareholders approved the United Therapeutics Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which is structured to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. See the section entitled ESPP below for additional information regarding the ESPP.
The following table reflects the components of share-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated statements of operations (in millions):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Stock options | $42.3 | $29.8 | $15.4 |

| STAP awards | (0.8) | 32.3 | (30.7) |
| ESPP | 3.1 | 2.2 | 2.0 |
| Total share-based compensation expense before tax | $147.7 | $144.0 | $39.1 |
| Share-based compensation capitalized as part of inventory | $1.6 | $1.4 | $1.3 |
Stock Options
We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, which requires us to make certain assumptions that can materially impact the estimation of fair value and related compensation expense. The assumptions used to estimate fair value include the price of our common stock, the expected volatility of our common stock, the risk-free interest rate, the expected term of stock option awards, and the expected dividend yield.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, in addition to time-based stock options, we granted 0.3 million,0.5 million, and 0.4 million performance-based stock options with a total grant date fair value of $38.0 million, $50.2 million, and $35.6 million, respectively, in each case calculated based on the assumed achievement of maximum performance of the relevant financial performance condition. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recorded $38.8 million, $26.3 million, and $8.3 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively, related to performance-based stock options, calculated based on the assumed levels of performance achievement.
A description of the key inputs, requiring estimates, used in determining the fair value of stock options are provided below:
Expected term—The expected term reflects the estimated time period we expect an award to remain outstanding. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we used the simplified approach to develop this input for our stock options as we do not have sufficient historical data related to stock option exercises. Under the simplified approach, the expected term reflects the weighted average midpoint between the vesting date and the expiration date of the awards. For the expected term input related to our STAP awards, see the STAP Awards section below.
Expected volatility—Volatility is a measure of the amount the price of our common stock has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. We use historical volatility based on weekly price observations of our common stock during the period immediately preceding an award that is equal to its expected term up to a maximum period offive years. We believe that the volatility in the price of our common stock over the preceding five years generally provides a reliable projection of future long-term volatility.
Risk-free interest rate—The risk-free interest rate is the average interest rate consistent with the yield available on a U.S. Treasury note with a term equal to the expected term of an award.
Expected dividend yield—We do not pay cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to do so in the future. Therefore, the dividend yield iszero.
The following weighted average assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Expected term of awards (in years) | 5.1 | 6.5 | 6.4 |
| Expected volatility | 32.1% | 31.6% | 31.4% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.1% | 4.3% | 3.6% |
| Expected dividend yield | —% | —% | —% |

RSUs
We issue RSUs to employees and non-employee directors. Each RSU entitles the recipient toone share of our common stock upon vesting. We measure the fair value of RSUs using the stock price on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense for RSUs is recorded ratably over their vesting period.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, in addition to time-based RSUs, we granted 0.1 million,0.2 million, and 0.2 million performance-based RSUs to certain executives with a total grant date fair value of $38.0 million, $47.5 million, and $32.2 million, respectively, calculated based on the assumed achievement of maximum performance of the relevant financial and non-financial performance conditions. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, in addition to time-based RSUs, we granted 0.1 million performance-based RSUs to certain other employees with a total grant date fair value of $29.3 million, calculated based on the assumed achievement of maximum performance of the relevant financial and non-financial performance conditions. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recorded $39.4 million, $23.2 million, and $4.7 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively, related to performance-based RSUs, calculated based on the assumed levels of performance achievement.
A summary of the activity with respect to, and status of, RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2025 is presented below:

STAP Awards
STAP awards conveyed the right to receive in cash an amount equal to the appreciation of our common stock, which was measured as the increase in the closing price of our common stock between the dates of grant and exercise. STAP awards expired on thetenth anniversary of the grant date, and in most cases, they vested in equal increments on each anniversary of the grant date over afour-year period. We discontinued the issuance of STAP awards in June 2015 and all remaining outstanding STAP awards were exercised during the first quarter of 2025.
The aggregate liability balance associated with outstanding STAP awards waszero and $11.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Share-based compensation (benefit) expense recognized in connection with STAP awards is as follows (in millions):

ESPP
In June 2012, our shareholders approved the ESPP, which is structured to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP provides eligible employees with the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount through elective accumulated payroll deductions at the end of each offering period. Offering periods, which began in 2012, occur in consecutivesix-month periods commencing on September 5th and March 5th of each year. Eligible employees may contribute up to 15 percent of their base salary, subject to certain annual limitations as defined in the ESPP. The purchase price of the shares is equal to the lower of 85 percent of the closing price of our common stock on either the first or last trading day of a given offering period. In addition, the ESPP provides that no eligible employee may purchase more than 4,000 shares during any offering period. The ESPP has a 20-year term and limits the aggregate number of shares that can be issued under the ESPP to 3.0 million.
- Stockholders’ Equity
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options, outstanding RSUs, and shares issuable under the ESPP, as if the RSUs were vested, the stock options were exercised, and the shares expected to be issued under the ESPP at the end of the then-current offering period were issued.

2025 Share Repurchase
In July 2025, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $1.0 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). Pursuant to this authorization, we entered intotwo accelerated share repurchase agreements (the 2025 ASR agreements) with Citibank, N.A. (Citi) on August 1, 2025 to repurchase approximately $1.0 billion of our common stock in the aggregate.
Under the terms of the 2025 ASR agreements, comprised of a $500 million uncollared stock repurchase agreement (the Uncollared ASR) and a $500 million collared stock repurchase agreement (the Collared ASR), we made an aggregate upfront payment of $1.0 billion to Citi on August 4, 2025. Under the Uncollared ASR, we received an initial delivery of 1,274,296 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 75 percent of the total shares expected to be repurchased under the Uncollared ASR, measured based on the closing price of our common stock on August 1, 2025. Under the Collared ASR, we received an initial delivery of 849,531 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 50 percent of the total shares expected to be repurchased under the Collared ASR, 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 receivedno 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.
The final number of shares that we ultimately repurchased pursuant to the 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 Uncollared ASR.
The initial repurchase of our common stock and final settlements under the 2025 ASR agreements, including the subsequent receipt of our common stock upon completion of the hedging period, were treated as a reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per common share. The initial repurchase of our common stock under the 2025 ASR agreements was accounted for as a reduction to stockholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheets. The hedging period under the Collared ASR was classified as part of the unsettled forward contract at inception and was equity classified upon settlement on August 25, 2025. The final settlements of the 2025 ASR agreements were accounted for as unsettled forward contracts indexed to our common stock until the final settlement occurred. The forward contracts related to the 2025 ASR agreements were equity classified, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, through final settlement. As of December 31, 2025, we recorded a liability of $1.8 million for an excise tax imposed under the IRA as a result of our repurchase of shares under the 2025 ASR agreements.
2024 Share Repurchase
In March 2024, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $1.0 billion in aggregate repurchases of our common stock. Pursuant to this authorization, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the 2024 ASR agreement) with Citi on March 25, 2024, to repurchase approximately $1.0 billion of our common stock. 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 intotwo 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.
The final number of shares that we ultimately repurchased pursuant to the 2024 ASR agreement 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 2024 ASR agreement.
The initial repurchase of our common stock and final settlement of each tranche was treated as a reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per common share. The initial repurchase of our common stock under each tranche was accounted for as a reduction to stockholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheets. The final settlement of the transactions under the 2024 ASR agreement was accounted for as an unsettled forward contract indexed to our common stock until the final settlement occurred. The forward contract related to the first and second tranche was equity classified, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, through final settlement. During the second quarter of 2025, we paid $5.0 million for an excise tax imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act as a result of our repurchase of shares under the 2024 ASR agreement.

As of December 31, 2025, we had federal and state research credit carryforwards, of $5.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively, which expire at various dates beginning in 2028. We expect that certain of these carryforwards will expire unused, so we have established valuation allowances for that portion of the related deferred tax assets.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 reinstated the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the period incurred beginning in 2025, to deduct unamortized domestic costs from 2024 and prior, and to expense 100 percent of certain qualifying assets in the year placed in service.

- Employee Benefit Plans
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
We maintain the SERP to provide retirement benefits to certain senior members of our management team.
Participants who retire at age 60 or older are eligible to receive either monthly payments or a lump sum payment based on an average of their total gross base salary over the last 36 months of active employment, subject to certain adjustments. Related benefit payments commence on the first day of thesixth month after retirement. Participants who elect to receive monthly payments will continue to receive payments through the remainder of their lives. Alternatively, participants who elect to receive a lump sum distribution will receive a payment equal to the present value of the estimated monthly payments that would have been received upon retirement. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all SERP participants had elected to receive a lump sum distribution. Participants who terminate employment for any reason other than death, disability, or change in control prior to age 60 will not be entitled to receive any benefits under the SERP.
Because we do not fund the SERP, we recognize a liability equal to the projected benefit obligation as measured at the end of each fiscal year.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the projected benefit obligation is presented below (in millions):
| Year Ended December 31, | ||

Employee Retirement Plan
We maintain a Section 401(k) Salary Reduction Plan which is open to all eligible full-time employees. Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees can make pre-tax or after-tax contributions up to statutory limits. Currently, we make discretionary matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan equal to 40 percent of a participant’s elected salary deferral. Matching contributions vest immediately for participants who have been employed forthree-years; otherwise, matching contributions vest annually, in one-third increments over athree-year period until thethree-year employment requirement has been met.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
We lease facilities and equipment under operating lease arrangements that have terms expiring at various dates through 2043. Certain lease arrangements include renewal options and escalation clauses. In addition, various lease agreements to which we are party require that we comply with certain customary covenants throughout the term of these leases. If we are unable to comply with these covenants and cannot reach a satisfactory resolution in the event of noncompliance, these agreements could terminate.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2025, are as follows (in millions):
| Year Ending December 31, | |

| 2029 | 6.1 |
| 2030 | 4.6 |
| Thereafter | 5.5 |
| Total | $37.6 |
Total operating lease expense was $8.9 million, $7.6 million, and $5.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The amounts recorded in operating lease expense include short-term leases, which are immaterial.
In August 2021, we entered into a commercial supply agreement (Supply Agreement) with MannKind Corporation (MannKind), which was later amended. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, MannKind is responsible for manufacturing and supplying Tyvaso DPI to us. Unless earlier terminated, the initial term of the Supply Agreement continues until December 31, 2031 and will thereafter be renewed automatically for additional, successivetwo-year terms unless either party provides notice of non-renewal. We determined that the Supply Agreement contains certain lease components and have elected the expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. All payment obligations under the Supply Agreement are variable in nature and we incurred costs of $216.4 million, $179.8 million, and $130.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. In January 2026, we entered into an amendment to our Supply Agreement with MannKind related to production services that includes committed annual purchase amounts through December 31, 2031.
In September 2022, we entered into an agreement (Lease Agreement) to lease the entirety of a building. The Lease Agreement modified and replaced several of our pre-existing leases of portions of the same building, and has an initial term expiring in July 2027, with five renewal options offive years each, exercisable in our sole discretion. As a result, we remeasured the lease liability at our incremental borrowing rate, using a lease term that assumed we exerciseone renewal option, due to our financing of significant leasehold improvements necessary for the research and development activities being performed at this location. Upon remeasurement, we determined that the lease remains an operating lease. As of December 31, 2025, our consolidated balance sheets included a right-of-use asset of $8.8 million, leasehold improvements, net of $28.8 million, and lease liability for the building of $9.5 million.

- Litigation
Sandoz Litigation
In April 2019, Sandoz Inc. (Sandoz) and its marketing partner RareGen, LLC (now known as Liquidia PAH, LLC, a subsidiary of Liquidia Corporation) (RareGen), filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against us and Smiths Medical ASD, Inc. (Smiths Medical), alleging that we and Smiths Medical engaged in anticompetitive conduct in connection with the plaintiffs’ efforts to launch their generic version of Remodulin. In particular, the complaint alleged that we and Smiths Medical unlawfully impeded competition by entering into an agreement for Smiths Medical to produce cartridges used with the CADD-MS®3 (MS-3) infusion system specifically for the delivery of subcutaneous Remodulin for our patients, without making these cartridges available for the delivery of Sandoz’s generic treprostinil injection. In March 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint to add a count alleging that we breached our earlier patent settlement agreement with Sandoz by refusing to grant Sandoz access to cartridges purchased for our patients.
Smiths Medical was dismissed from the case in November 2020, based on a settlement resolving the disputes between the plaintiffs and Smiths Medical. As part of this settlement, Smiths Medical paid the plaintiffs $4.25 million, disclosed and made available to the plaintiffs certain specifications and other information related to the MS-3 cartridges, and granted to the plaintiffs a non-exclusive, royalty-free license in the United States to Smiths Medical’s patents and copyrights associated with the MS-3 cartridges and certain other information related to the MS-3 pumps and cartridges.
In March 2022, the court granted our motion for summary judgment with respect to all claims brought by the plaintiffs except the breach of contract claim. As a result, all antitrust claims, all claims under state competition laws, and the common law tortious interference claim were resolved in our favor. These were the only claims in the case that gave rise to any potential for trebling of damages, punitive damages, disgorgement, and/or the award of attorneys’ fees. The court also denied the plaintiffs’ request for injunctive relief.
The court granted Sandoz’s motion for summary judgment with respect to Sandoz’s breach of contract claim. The issue of what, if any, damages Sandoz is entitled to based on the court’s decision on the contract claim went to trial. On November 1, 2024, the court entered a final judgment in favor of Sandoz, ordering us to pay to Sandoz (a) approximately $61.6 million in damages; (b) prejudgment interest in the amount of approximately $9.0 million; and (c) post-judgment interest. All parties appealed the final judgment, including the court’s March 30, 2022 summary judgment decision. The appeal is pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and oral argument was held in November 2025.
We accrued a liability of $71.1 million during 2024, and an additional $3.0 million through the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting, in the aggregate, the damages and pre-judgment interest amounts awarded in the final judgment, as well as post-judgment interest accrued through the end of 2025. We currently do not expect that the amount of any loss in excess of these accruals would be material to our financial results; however, the amount ultimately payable, if any, could be higher or lower than this amount depending on the amount of post judgment interest, and the outcome of appeals. We recorded this liability within other non-current liabilitiesin our consolidated balance sheets.
We intend to continue to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims made in this litigation. Among other things, we believe our settlement agreement with Sandoz did not provide Sandoz any rights with respect to delivery systems such as the MS-3. We also believe that the plaintiffs, who were on notice that Smiths Medical would discontinue the MS-3 system, failed to fulfill their duty to properly mitigate their exposure as a result of such discontinuation, and any damages they incurred are the result of market conditions and their own failure to properly plan their own product launch. However, due to the uncertainty inherent in any litigation, we cannot guarantee that appeals will not result in an outcome adverse to us. This litigation has involved, and will likely continue to involve, substantial cost to defend, and an adverse appellate outcome could result in substantial monetary damages in excess of the liability we have accrued to-date.
Litigation with Liquidia Technologies, Inc.
Since March 2020, we have been engaged in litigation with Liquidia Technologies, Inc. (Liquidia) regarding its efforts to obtain FDA approval for Yutrepia®, a dry powder inhalation formulation of treprostinil. That litigation has includedtwo petitions forinter partes review (IPR) filed by Liquidia with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), as well as multiple lawsuits we have brought alleging infringement by Liquidia of several of our patents. Most of these cases have now been finally resolved, and Liquidia received final approval from the FDA to market Yutrepia to treat PAH and PH-ILD in May 2025, and launched commercial sales in June 2025.
We have an ongoing patent infringement lawsuit against Liquidia, which was originally filed on September 5, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,716,793 (the’793 patent), a patent related to Tyvaso with an expiration date in May 2027 that was later invalidated as a result of an IPR proceeding, and therefore is no longer at issue in this litigation. On November 30, 2023, we filed an amended complaint to assert a new patent: U.S. Patent No. 11,826,327 (the’327 patent), which expires February 3, 2042, and is now the only patent remaining at issue in the case. The claims of the ’327 patent generally cover improving exercise capacity in patients suffering from PH-ILD by inhaling treprostinil at specific dosages. Trial took place in June 2025, and the parties are awaiting the court’s decision. If we prevail in this lawsuit, we believe that we will be entitled to a court order requiring Liquidia to remove the PH-ILD indication from Yutrepia’s product labeling, and that we may also be entitled to damages.
In June 2021, we filed a motion in one of our earlier patent cases against Liquidia in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware to file an amended complaint adding trade secret misappropriation claims against Liquidia and a former Liquidia executive, Dr. Robert Roscigno. The court denied the motion based on a finding that adding the additional claims would impact the case schedule. Thus, we filed those claims as a separate case against Liquidia and Dr. Roscigno in North Carolina state court. Discovery is complete. On January 5, 2024, Dr. Roscigno filed a motion for summary judgment, which was denied on July 31, 2024. On July 3, 2024, Liquidia filed a motion for summary judgment, which was denied on July 23, 2025. We filed a new complaint on May 29, 2024, to commence a separate, related case against Liquidia and Dr. Roscigno in North Carolina state court. That case is in its early stages, and the parties are developing a case schedule.
On April 21, 2025, Liquidia filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, alleging that Tyvaso DPI infringes U.S. Patent No. 10,898,494. This patent’s claims are directed to the treatment of pulmonary hypertension by administering specified amounts of treprostinil via a dry powder inhaler in a specified number of breaths. The patent expires May 5, 2037. Liquidia seeks damages and attorneys’ fees. We filed a motion to dismiss or, alternatively, a motion to stay the case based on the argument that we co-own the asserted patent based on Liquidia’s and Dr. Roscigno’s alleged trade secret misappropriation subject to the pending North Carolina state court litigation. The court granted our motion to stay and denied the motion to dismiss. On May 9, 2025, we filed a lawsuit against Liquidia in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, alleging that Yutrepia infringes U.S. Patent No. 11,357,782. This patent claims a method of treating pulmonary hypertension using inhaled treprostinil delivered using a specified dosage regimen. The patent expires May 14, 2027. We moved for a preliminary injunction, but the court denied that motion. Liquidia moved to dismiss or, alternatively, transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The court denied Liquidia’s motion.

We plan to continue to vigorously enforce our intellectual property rights related to Tyvaso DPI and Nebulized Tyvaso. In addition, we believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims made by Liquidia in its patent infringement lawsuit against us.
MSP Recovery Litigation
In July 2020, MSP Recovery Claims, Series LLC; MSPA Claims 1, LLC; and Series PMPI, a designated series of MAO-MSO Recovery II, LLC, filed a class action complaint against Caring Voices Coalition, Inc. (CVC) and us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleged that we violated the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and various state laws by coordinating with CVC when making donations to a PAH fund so that those donations would go toward copayment obligations for Medicare patients taking drugs manufactured and marketed by us. The plaintiffs claim to have received assignments from various Medicare Advantage health plans and other insurance entities that allow them to bring this lawsuit on behalf of those entities to recover allegedly inflated amounts they paid for our drugs. In April 2021, the court granted our motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
In October 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that includes state antitrust claims based on alleged facts similar to those raised by Sandoz and RareGen in the matter described above. The amended complaint added MSP Recovery Claims Series 44, LLC as a plaintiff and Smiths Medical and CVC as defendants. In December 2021, we filed a motion to dismiss all of the plaintiffs’ claims in the amended complaint, including the new antitrust claims. Smiths Medical also filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims against Smiths Medical. In September 2022, the court dismissed all of the plaintiffs’ claims against us and Smiths Medical without prejudice.
In October 2022, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which added federal antitrust claims and consumer protection claims under other states’ laws to the claims previously asserted. The second amended complaint also named Accredo Health Group, CVS Health Corporation, Express Scripts, Inc., and Express Scripts Holding Company (collectively, the Specialty Pharmacies), and the Adira Foundation as additional defendants. In March 2023, we filed our motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. The Specialty Pharmacies filed their own motion to dismiss, as did Smiths Medical. On March 22, 2024, the magistrate judge recommended dismissal of the plaintiffs’ complaint against all defendants in its entirety with prejudice, and for administrative purposes, issued an order dismissing the complaint. On April 12, 2024, the plaintiffs filed an objection to the magistrate judge’s recommendation. On May 10, 2024, we filed a response to the plaintiffs’ objection, as did the other defendants. If the district court judge adopts the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismisses the case, the plaintiffs will have the right to appeal.
We intend to continue to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims made in this lawsuit.
Litigation with Humana and United Healthcare
Humana Inc. (Humana) and United Healthcare Services, Inc. (United) filed separate lawsuits against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland in December 2022 and November 2022, respectively. Each of these lawsuits includes allegations similar to those in the MSP Recovery matter discussed above concerning our charitable contributions to CVC. In particular, these lawsuits allege that our donations to CVC violated RICO and various state laws. We filed motions to dismiss both of these lawsuits in March 2023. On March 25, 2024, the court dismissed both the Humana and United complaints in their entirety. In both cases, the RICO claims were dismissed with prejudice. In the Humana case, the state law claims were dismissed without prejudice, and in the United case, some of the state law claims were dismissed with prejudice, while others were dismissed without prejudice. Neither Humana nor United filed an appeal to date, and their deadlines for filing appeals have passed.
On April 24, 2024, Humana and United each filed lawsuits against us in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. These lawsuits include allegations similar to those in their lawsuits discussed above concerning charitable contributions. Humana and United allege that our donations to CVC give rise to common law causes of action, violations of state consumer protection statutes, and violations of insurance fraud statutes under the laws of various states. On July 22, 2024, we filed motions to dismiss both of these lawsuits. Oral argument on these motions to dismiss took place on October 24, 2024. On September 23, 2025, the court dismissed both lawsuits with prejudice. On October 20, 2025, Humana and United each appealed the court’s decision to the Appellate Court of Maryland, and those appeals are pending.
We intend to continue to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims made in these lawsuits.
- Acquisitions
Asset Acquisition
In October 2023, we acquired all the outstanding equity of IVIVA, an early-stage company focused on developing manufactured kidney products, in exchange for an upfront cash payment of approximately $50.0 million. In addition to the upfront payment, the transaction consideration includes potential earnout consideration, payable in cash, structured as atwo percent royalty on net sales of IVIVA’s kidney products, subject to certain reductions. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value was concentrated in a single IPR&D asset we acquired. We allocated $46.0 million of the purchase price to the IPR&D and recorded the expense within research and development in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. For tax purposes, the purchase price allocated to the IPR&D is not deductible and was capitalized into the tax basis of the equity we acquired. We also recorded an intangible asset of $1.3 million related to the asset acquisition and recorded the amount within goodwill and other intangible assets, net in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
Business Combination
On October 29, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Miromatrix Medical Inc. (Miromatrix), a publicly traded company developing bioengineered kidney and liver alternative products. On December 13, 2023, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Miromatrix became a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Therapeutics. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we paid former Miromatrix shareholders $3.25 per share in cash at closing, representing cash consideration paid to former Miromatrix shareholders of $89.1 million. Former Miromatrix shareholders also received one contractual contingent value right per share, representing the right to receive a contingent payment of $1.75 per share in cash (an aggregate of approximately $54.0 million) upon the first implantation of Miromatrix’s development-stage, fully-implantable kidney alternative product known as mirokidney into a living human patient by the end of 2025 in a clinical trial meeting requirements set forth in the form of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement attached to the Merger Agreement (the Milestone). In addition to the cash consideration noted above, the aggregate purchase price included $2.5 million that we ascribed to the contingent value rights, of which $1.4 million was recorded as a measurement period adjustment during the first quarter of 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, we recorded a measurement period adjustment to decrease goodwill and other intangible assets, netand increase deferred tax assets, netby $2.8 million.
Purchase Price Allocation
The merger met the definition of a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and as such, we applied the acquisition method to account for the transaction, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the closing date. The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the closing date using primarily Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. These Level 2 and Level 3 valuation inputs included an estimate of future cash flows and discount rates. Additionally, estimated fair values were based, in part, upon third-party valuations of certain assets, which included specifically-identified intangible assets.
The following table sets forth the final purchase price allocation, including measurement period adjustments, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date. The purchase price allocation was considered complete as of September 30, 2024.
| Purchase Price Allocation | Fair Value(in millions) |
|---|---|
| Cash | $5.1 |
| Other current assets | 1.1 |
| Intangible assets: | |
| IPR&D | 63.0 |
| Goodwill(1) | 4.3 |
| Deferred tax assets, net | 18.3 |
| Property, plant, and equipment, net | 4.5 |
| Other non-current assets | 2.6 |
| Total fair value of assets acquired | $98.9 |
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | 3.1 |
| Other current liabilities | 1.4 |
| Other non-current liabilities | 2.8 |
| Total fair value of liabilities assumed | $7.3 |
| Total purchase price | $91.6 |
(1)The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
We determined the fair value of the IPR&D using the multi-period earnings method under the income approach. This method reflects the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the IPR&D, less charges
| F-37 | United Therapeutics, a public benefit corporation |

representing the required return on other assets to sustain those cash flows. The multi-period earnings method is a Level 3 fair value measurement. Significant assumptions inherent in determining fair value of the IPR&D included annual net cash flows over a period of time and a discount rate applied to those cash flows to reflect the overall risk of the asset.
We ascribed $2.5 million to the contingent value rights as of the closing date based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model, utilizing probability adjusted expectations of achieving the Milestone. The value of the contingent value rights waszero as of December 31, 2025 as the Milestone was not achieved.
Following the acquisition, the operating results of Miromatrix have been included in our consolidated financial statements. The acquisition did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, and therefore, historical and pro forma disclosures have not been presented.
Costs incurred to complete the acquisition and integrate Miromatrix into our business were expensed as incurred and included within selling, general, and administrative in our consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized $3.5 million of acquisition-related costs. These costs represented transaction costs, legal fees, and professional third-party service fees.
