Current report
We are a biopharmaceutical company with only one approved product, which was approved by the FDA in May 2025 and began commercialization in June 2025. Accordingly, we have only a short history of commercial operations upon which you can evaluate our prospects. Drug product development and commercialization involves a substantial degree of uncertainty. Having only recently obtained final marketing approval for YUTREPIA, our first approved product, the future revenue, profitability and cash flows, if any, from commercialization of YUTREPIA remain uncertain. We may
Current report
We will require nebulizers in order to conduct clinical trials for L606. Failure by us or third parties to successfully supply nebulizers in sufficient quantities to meet the needs of our planned clinical trial could delay completion of the clinical trial or negatively impact the results of the clinical trial. In addition, the nebulizers we use in the clinical trials for L606 may not be the same as the nebulizers that will be included in our NDA for L606. Accordingly, our ability to seek and obtain final approval L606 will depend on our and our suppliers’ ability to timely and successfully identify and develop nebulizers that are suitable for commercialization of L606. If our partners are unable to timely and successfully identify and develop nebulizers that are suitable for the commercialization of L606, we may be required to seek out new nebulizers for use with L606. In any event, we may also be required to conduct bridging studies to demonstrate the comparability of any such nebulizer for which we may seek approval and the nebulizers that were used in the clinical studies for L606. If we are unable to demonstrate comparability, we may be required to perform new clinical studies to re-evaluate the safety and efficacy of L606 with such new nebulizers.
Current report
United Therapeutics has initiated multiple lawsuits against us in which it has claimed that YUTREPIA is infringing its patents and two separate lawsuits against us that we and a former United Therapeutics employee, who later joined us as an employee, conspired to misappropriate certain trade secrets of United Therapeutics and engaged in unfair or deceptive trade practices and that United Therapeutics is entitled to an ownership interest in a portion of our intellectual property. These lawsuits, and other lawsuits that United Therapeutics may file in the future, may result in our company being unable to maintain FDA approval for YUTREPIA in PAH and/or PH-ILD, result in substantial damage claims against us if we are found to infringe any patents or to have misappropriated trade secrets, or result in United Therapeutics owning an interest in a portion of our intellectual property.
Current report
other relief, which could materially disrupt our business. In the event United Therapeutics prevails, the Court may order that the FDA withdraw its approval for YUTREPIA or that the PH-ILD indication be removed from YUTREPIA’s label. If the court issues an injunction or the FDA is required to withdraw approval for YUTREPIA due to the inclusion of PH-ILD on the label, we may be unable to market YUTREPIA for either indication at least until the label is successfully amended and reapproved. There is no assurance that the FDA will approve such an amendment in a timely manner, or at all, which could result in a prolonged interruption of YUTREPIA sales.
Current report
In addition, in May 2025, United Therapeutics filed a complaint for patent infringement against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (Case No. 1:25CV368) (the “‘782 Patent Litigation”), asserting infringement by the Company of U.S. Patent No. 11,357,782, entitled “Treprostinil By Inhalation” (the “‘782 Patent”). In February 2024, United Therapeutics also filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent the Company from manufacturing, marketing, storing, importing, distributing, offering for sale, and/or selling YUTREPIA. Judge Schroeder denied the motion for a preliminary injunction in May 2025. In the event United Therapeutics ultimately prevails in the ‘782 Patent Litigation, Liquidia could be enjoined from commercializing YUTREPIA in one or more indications or could be liable for damages. If an injunction is granted, we may be required to immediately cease all commercial activities related to YUTREPIA, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
Current report
We plan to evaluate inhaled treprostinil in indications beyond PAH and PH-ILD, including IPF, PPF, SSc-RP and PH-COPD. Expansion into these indications will expose us to additional risks and uncertainties, including increased competition from approved therapies and product development candidates, evolving standards of care, and shifting regulatory or reimbursement landscapes. Due to competitive pressures, we may elect to delay, scale back or discontinue one or more of these development programs.
Current report
Also, if we are unable to provide continuous access to YUTREPIA to patients, our reputation and ability to compete with our competitors may be impaired. For example, if United Therapeutics prevails in the ‘327 Patent Litigation and we are required to withdraw YUTREPIA from the market, at least until PH-ILD is removed from the label, YUTREPIA may be unavailable until the FDA has approved a change to its label. In addition, if we are unable to manufacture sufficient quantities of YUTREPIA to meet future market demand, YUTREPIA may be unavailable until we are able to increase our capacity. Any such unavailability of YUTREPIA, even if for a brief time period, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Current report
The Creating and Restoring Equal Access to Equivalent Samples Act (the “CREATES Act”) was enacted in 2019, which requires brand manufacturers of approved drugs to provide sufficient quantities of product samples on commercially reasonable, market-based terms to generic manufacturers. The CREATES Act establishes a private right of action allowing generic manufacturers to sue brand manufacturers that refuse to sell them product samples needed to support their applications. If we are required to provide product samples or allocate additional resources to respond to such requests or any legal challenges under the CREATES Act, our business could be adversely impacted.
Current report
Forecasting and accounting for YUTREPIA product sales requires us to make numerous assumptions and, if our estimates are inaccurate, our business may be harmed and our share price may be adversely affected.
Current report
Our business planning requires us to forecast or make assumptions regarding product demand and revenues for YUTREPIA, despite numerous uncertainties. Actual demand and revenue may differ materially from projected demand and revenue for various reasons, including the following, as well as risks identified in other risk factors:
Current report
Our results of operations could be materially harmed if we are unable to accurately forecast customer demand for YUTREPIA and manage our inventory. To ensure adequate inventory supply, we must forecast inventory needs and place orders with our suppliers based on our estimates of future demand for YUTREPIA. We seek to maintain sufficient levels of inventory to protect ourselves from supply interruptions. As a result, we are subject to the risk that a portion of our inventory will become obsolete or expire, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings and cash flows due to the resulting costs associated with the inventory impairment charges and costs required to replace such inventory.
Current report
In addition, we expect that our revenues from sales of YUTREPIA will be based in part on estimates, judgment and accounting policies. Any incorrect estimates or disagreements with regulators or others regarding such estimates, judgment or accounting policies may result in changes to our guidance, projections or previously reported results. Expected and actual product sales and quarterly and other results may greatly fluctuate, including in the near-term, and such fluctuations can adversely affect the price of our common stock, perceptions of our ability to forecast demand and revenues, and our ability to maintain and fund our operations. The metrics that we are tracking in order to evaluate the success of our sales efforts may not correlate to commercial success.
Current report
Changes in regulations and policies in the United States and the resulting political and economic uncertainty inside and outside the United States may also impact us, the financial markets and the global economy. The U.S. has imposed increased tariffs on certain countries. Other countries have responded, and may continue to respond, by announcing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. In addition, the U.S. Department of Commerce has initiated national security investigations into the importation of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which could result in the imposition of new tariffs on imports within the pharmaceutical industry. Further, the U.S. announced a 100% tariff, on any branded or patented pharmaceuticals imported into the U.S. from drug manufacturers that do not have, or is not in the process of building, a manufacturing facility in the U.S., which has been delayed as negotiations with large drug manufacturers continue. The terms and effects of such tariffs, if and as they are implemented, and other policy changes are uncertain and could have adverse implications on drug pricing, drug production levels and patient access, and may result in supply chain or other operational disruptions. If we are required to change our current manufacturing partners or suppliers now or in the future in order to avoid such tariffs, the terms of new agreements that we may enter into may not be favorable to us and related operational disruptions may heighten manufacturing and compliance risks and derail commercialization plans.
Current report
tariffs, trade policies, or new legislation or regulations will have on our business specifically, or on the U.S. market and global economy generally, are uncertain and in the long term, unpredictable, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the increased tariffs could impact our ability to commercialize future drug candidates for the U.S. market, which is relevant to our ability to generate future revenues from these activities. As a result, the continued impact of these tariffs may impair our plans for further drug development in the U.S. market as well as our ability to generate revenues.
Current report
The United States has also enacted regulations or policies that affect trade or otherwise impact the pharmaceutical industry by restricting U.S. pharmaceutical companies from contracting with certain countries for the development, research or manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. In December 2025, the BIOSECURE Act was signed into law as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which restricts U.S. government agencies from purchasing or obtaining certain biotechnology equipment or services from “biotechnology companies of concern” (“BCC”); entering, extending or renewing a contract with any entity using biotechnology equipment or services provided by a BCC to perform a government contract; or granting government funds or loans for such biotechnology equipment or services provided by a BCC. While we do not currently anticipate any material impact from the BIOSECURE Act, it may have significant implications for U.S. companies with government contracts that obtain biotechnology equipment or services from a BCC, including contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and any related impact on reimbursement under Medicaid and Medicare Part B.
Current report
Further, executive orders were signed to implement Most Favored Nation drug pricing policies designed to align certain prescription drug prices in the U.S. to lower prices available in other countries. Investigations are being conducted to examine price differentials and consider policy approaches for implementation, including through administrative action. If such Most Favored Nation policies are implemented, changes to drug pricing are expected to affect the profitability of pharmaceutical and biotech companies in the U.S. as well as in other countries, as a price referencing policy to the U.S. market could make it commercially unviable to commercialize a drug product in a price constrained market. The details of the proposed policies are unclear and the final terms and impact remain uncertain, and may pose long-term risks to our business and our future commercialization plans of YUTREPIA and our other drug candidates.
Current report
United Therapeutics invested considerable time and resources to delay the approval and commercialization of YUTREPIA, and our ability to maintain regulatory approval for YUTREPIA for one or more indications is impacted by ongoing litigation following lawsuits filed by United Therapeutics. For instance, in connection with an amendment to our NDA filed in July 2023 to add PH-ILD as an indication for YUTREPIA, United Therapeutics filed the ‘327 Patent Litigation, in which United Therapeutics is seeking an injunction to require that YUTREPIA be withdrawn from the market and to prevent us from manufacturing, marketing, storing, importing, distributing, offering for sale, and/or selling YUTREPIA for the treatment of both PAH and PH-ILD. In addition, in May 2025, United Therapeutics filed the ’782 Patent Litigation, in which United Therapeutics is seeking to enjoin us from commercializing YUTREPIA and monetary damages. If United Therapeutics is successful in either the ‘327 Patent Litigation or the ‘782 Patent Litigation, we may be unable to maintain approval for, or to successfully commercialize, YUTREPIA.
Current report
From time to time, we may disclose interim data from our preclinical studies and clinical trials. Interim data from clinical trials that we may complete are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data become available. Adverse differences between interim data and final data could significantly harm our business prospects.
Current report
From time to time, we may also publicly disclose top-line or preliminary data from our clinical trials, which is based on a preliminary analysis of then-available data, and the results and related findings and conclusions are subject to change following a more comprehensive review of the data related to the particular study or trial. We also make assumptions, estimations, calculations and conclusions as part of our analyses of data, and we may not have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data. As a result, the top-line or preliminary results that we report may differ from future results of the same studies, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results, once additional data have been received and fully evaluated. Top-line or preliminary data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the top-line or preliminary data we previously published. As a result, top-line and preliminary data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available.
Current report
In addition, United Therapeutics may seek to assert other issued patents against us, including U.S. Patent Number 11,723,887, and may seek to enjoin the continued commercialization of YUTREPIA.

arrangements between pharmaceutical manufacturers on the one hand and prescribers, purchasers and formulary managers on the other. Although there are several statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting certain common activities from prosecution, they are drawn narrowly, and practices that involve remuneration intended to induce prescribing, purchasing or recommending or arranging for the prescription or purchase of any drug product may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an exception or safe harbor. This law applies to our marketing practices, educational programs, pricing policies and relationships with healthcare providers. We continue to evaluate what effect, if any, these rules will have on our business.

Current report
Since its enactment, there have been judicial, executive and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA. The OBBBA has enacted, among others, changes to eligibility requirements for premium tax credits, which has resulted, and is expected to result, in less coverage in the ACA’s health insurance marketplace (“Marketplace”) over the next few years. In addition, the OBBBA has made other changes to the enrollment and eligibility requirements for Medicaid. Further, the CMS recently proposed two mandatory payment model pilots, the Guarding U.S. Medicare Against Rising Drug Costs (“GUARD”) Model, focused on Part D drugs, and Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing (“GLOBE”), focused on Part B drugs, which will require pharmaceutical companies to pay additional rebates on certain medicine whose U.S. net-of-discount prices exceed those in certain other countries.
Current report
In addition, while we have secured a device to use in our planned clinical study for L606, the device we plan to use in the clinical study will not be available for use commercially. If we are unable to secure approval for a device to use commercially for our L606 program, if any required bridging studies related to such new device are unsuccessful or if we are unable to establish an agreement with the manufacturer of that device for the commercial supply of such devices or obtain adequate quantities of that device in a timely manner or at all, we may be unable to successfully obtain approval for or commercialize L606, even if our clinical studies with the current device are successful, or to do so in a timely manner.
Current report
In addition, United Therapeutics may bring lawsuits alleging that we infringe patents even outside of the Hatch-Waxman context. For example, United Therapeutics filed a lawsuit alleging that we infringe the ‘782 patent in which it is seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. United Therapeutics may also seek to assert other patents against us, including U.S. Patent Number 11,723,887, or newly issued patents that do not currently exist, and may seek to require the FDA to withdraw final approval for YUTREPIA for one or more indications or other monetary or equitable relief.
Current report
For example, we instituted a lawsuit against United Therapeutics for infringement of the ‘494 Patent in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. As part of that lawsuit, United Therapeutics has asserted that it has an ownership interest in the ‘494 Patent, and that we cannot assert the ‘494 Patent against them, as a result of a former employee’s breach of a contractual obligation to United Therapeutics. In addition, United Therapeutics may argue that one or more claims of the ‘494 Patent are invalid or that the scope of the ‘494 Patent is limited such that they do not infringe the ‘494 Patent. If they are successful in establishing an ownership interest in the ‘494 Patent, invalidating one or more claims of the ‘494 Patent or having the scope of the claims limited, we may be unable to prevent United Therapeutics or third parties from promoting and commercializing products that fall within the full scope of the ‘494 Patent. In addition, any invalidation or limitation of the scope of the ‘494 Patent could create a precedent that may increase the likelihood that other of our patents are invalidated or subject to similar scope limitations.
Current report
Any material weaknesses identified in the future or retroactive changes to our consolidated financial statements may impact management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting such that those reports should no longer be relied upon. There can be no assurances that our current internal controls over financial reporting are sufficient to prevent or avoid any potential future material weaknesses.

Our ability to sell Treprostinil Injection is dependent on market acceptance of generic treprostinil for parenteral administration by patients, health care providers and by third-party payors. If Treprostinil Injection does not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may not generate sufficient revenue to offset our cost of revenue.
Previous report
The nebulizers we plan to use with L606 are currently undergoing testing and review. If those tests or reviews are delayed or do not yield satisfactory results, the nebulizers may require design changes and/or additional testing or we may need to identify and develop a different nebulizer for use with L606, all of which may delay the commencement of our planned pivotal trial for L606.
Previous report
United Therapeutics has initiated lawsuits against us in which it claims that YUTREPIA is infringing its patents and that we have misappropriated its trade secrets and confidential information and has initiated a lawsuit against the FDA challenging the FDA’s acceptance of our amended NDA for YUTREPIA for review, which may result in our company being further delayed in its efforts to commercialize YUTREPIA and may limit the indications for which YUTREPIA is approved.
Previous report
Although we do not believe United Therapeutics is entitled to a new 30-month stay or a preliminary injunction in connection with the New Hatch-Waxman Litigation, it is possible that the Court could rule that a new mandatory 30-month delay has been triggered with respect to the approval of the 505(b)(2) NDA application or that a preliminary injunction is warranted.
Previous report
In February 2024, United Therapeutics also filed a lawsuit against the FDA, challenging the FDA’s acceptance of our amended NDA for review (the “Original FDA Litigation”). In March 2024, United Therapeutics filed a motion for a temporary restraining order in the Original FDA Litigation, seeking to enjoin the FDA from approving our NDA for YUTREPIA with respect to the indication to treat PH-ILD. United Therapeutics’ motion was denied in March 2024. In May 2024, both we and the FDA filed motions to dismiss United Therapeutics’ complaint. Prior to the Court’s ruling on the motions to dismiss, United Therapeutics voluntarily dismissed its complaint in the Original FDA Litigation without prejudice. In September 2024, United Therapeutics re-asserted its challenge to FDA’s acceptance of our amended NDA for review as a cross claim in the lawsuit we instituted against the FDA in August 2024 (the “New FDA Litigation”). Although we do not believe the arguments of United Therapeutics have merit, it is possible that the Court could rule that the FDA must reject the amendment to the YUTREPIA NDA to add PH-ILD to the label, in which case we may be required to later file a supplement to our NDA to add PH-ILD to the label. If we are required to file a supplement to add PH-ILD to the label for YUTREPIA, although we do not believe United Therapeutics would be entitled to a new 30-month stay, it is possible that the FDA or a Court could rule that a new mandatory 30-month delay has been triggered with respect to the supplement.
Previous report
We received tentative approval of our NDA for YUTREPIA for the treatment of PAH and PH-ILD in August 2024. The final approval of YUTREPIA for PAH and PH-ILD is delayed until after expiration of the three-year New Clinical Investigation exclusivity for Tyvaso DPI on May 23, 2025. Although the exclusivity period will expire on such date, the FDA may need more time after the expiration of the exclusivity period to review and approve our NDA. Our receipt of tentative approval does not mean that we will receive final approval of our NDA for YUTREPIA in a timely manner or at all or that we will receive final approval for both indications. United Therapeutics has invested considerable time and resources in an effort to block final approval of YUTREPIA, and expectations related to final FDA approval and projected product launch timelines are impacted by ongoing litigation following lawsuits filed by United Therapeutics. For instance, in connection with an amendment to our NDA filed on July 24, 2023 to add PH-ILD as an indication for YUTREPIA, we provided a new notice of the paragraph IV certification to United Therapeutics as the owner of the patents that are the subject of the certification to which the NDA for YUTREPIA refers. As a result, in September 2023, United Therapeutics filed the New Hatch-Waxman Litigation, again asserting infringement by the Company of U.S. Patent No. 10,716,793, entitled “Treprostinil Administration by Inhalation” (the “‘793 Patent”), which lawsuit was amended on November 30, 2023, to add claims asserting infringement of the ‘327 Patent. Although the claims related to the ‘793 Patent were subsequently withdrawn, in February 2024, United Therapeutics also filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent us from manufacturing, marketing, storing, importing, distributing, offering for sale, and/or selling YUTREPIA for the treatment of PH-ILD. That motion for preliminary injunction was denied, but United Therapeutics may still seek injunctive relief in the future. In September 2024, United Therapeutics also filed a cross

claim in the New FDA Litigation, seeking to enjoin the FDA from approving our NDA for YUTREPIA with respect to the indication to treat PH-ILD. Although we do not believe United Therapeutics is entitled to any injunction or temporary restraining order in the New Hatch-Waxman Litigation or the New FDA Litigation, it is possible that the Court could rule that the FDA must reject the amendment to the YUTREPIA NDA to add PH-ILD to the label or that, even if YUTREPIA has launched for both PAH and PH-ILD, the Company must remove PH-ILD from the label for YUTREPIA.
Previous report
In addition, a drug product that is granted tentative approval, like YUTREPIA, may be subject to additional review before final approval, particularly if tentative approval was granted more than three years before the earliest lawful approval date. The FDA’s tentative approval of YUTREPIA for the treatment of PAH and PH-ILD was based on information available to FDA at the time of the tentative approval letter (i.e., information in the application and the status of current good manufacturing practices of the facilities used in the manufacturing and testing of the drug product) and is therefore subject to change on the basis of new information that may come to FDA’s attention. A new drug product may not be marketed until the date of final approval.

of the paragraph IV certification to United Therapeutics as the owner of the patents that are the subject of the certification to which the NDA for YUTREPIA refers. As a result, in September 2023, United Therapeutics filed the New Hatch-Waxman Litigation, again asserting infringement by the Company of the ‘793 Patent, which lawsuit was amended on November 30, 2023, to add claims asserting infringement of the ‘327 Patent. In February 2024, United Therapeutics filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent us from manufacturing, marketing, storing, importing, distributing, offering for sale, and/or selling YUTREPIA for the treatment of PH-ILD. Although the motion for preliminary injunction was denied, United Therapeutics may still seek injunctive relief and other remedies.

Previous report
Even if we receive final approval to market YUTREPIA and/or L606, we will need to scale up our manufacturing capabilities to effectively commercialize the products. We have never completed a scale up of our PRINT manufacturing process or the manufacturing process for L606, and, if we are unable to do so in an effective and timely manner, our ability to commercialize these products, even if they receive final FDA approval, will be adversely affected.

Because we are a “smaller reporting company,” we may take advantage of certain scaled disclosures available to us, resulting in holders of our securities receiving less Company information than they would receive from a public company that is not a smaller reporting company.
Previous report
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as (i) our common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. Based on the closing price of our common stock on June 30, 2024 we will remain a smaller reporting company through at least the end of 2025. To the extent we take advantage of any reduced disclosure obligations, it may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospectus in comparison with other public companies.
Previous report
As a smaller reporting company, we are permitted to comply with scaled-back disclosure obligations in our SEC filings compared to other issuers, including with respect to disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We have elected to adopt the accommodations available to smaller reporting companies. Until we cease to be a smaller reporting company, the scaled-back disclosure in our SEC filings will result in less information about our company being available than for other public companies.
Previous report
If investors consider our common stock less attractive as a result of our election to use the scaled-back disclosure permitted for smaller reporting companies, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.

Previous wording
We are subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. We expect to incur significant expenses and may incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance product candidates through clinical trials, seek regulatory approval and pursue commercialization of any approved product candidates. We do not expect to generate significant revenue unless and until we are able to obtain marketing approval for and successfully commercialize one or more of our product candidates. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we would incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution. These efforts require significant amounts of capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure, and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if our development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, we will realize significant revenue from product sales. The future viability of our company will depend on our ability to fund future operations and capital requirements with additional capital from external financing. We may seek additional funding through public or private financings, debt financing or collaboration. Our inability to obtain funding, when needed, would have a negative impact on our financial condition and ability to pursue our business strategies.
Current wording
YUTREPIA and any of our other product candidates for which we may receive marketing approval in the future, we will continue to incur significant expenses, including those related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution. These efforts require significant amounts of capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure, and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. It is uncertain if we will be able to continue to generate sustained revenue from product sales. The future viability of our company will depend on our ability to fund future operations and capital requirements with revenue from YUTREPIA and, if necessary, additional capital from external financing. We may seek additional funding through public or private financings, debt financing or collaboration. Our inability to obtain funding, if and when needed, would have a negative impact on our financial condition and ability to pursue our business strategies.

We have a history of losses and our ability to sustain profitability in the future remains uncertain.
Previous wording
We have incurred net losses of $130.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, and $78.5 million and $41.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We also had negative operating cash flows for each of these periods. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $559.5 million.
Current wording
Although we achieved profitability in the third and fourth quarters of 2025 and had positive operating cash flows in the fourth quarter of 2025, our ability to maintain profitability and positive operating cash flows in the future remains uncertain. We have incurred net losses of $68.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, and $128.3 million and $78.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We also had negative operating cash flows for each of these periods. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $626.3 million.

connection with licensing and collaboration arrangements we have entered into and the Promotion Agreement, under which we share in the profit derived from the sale of Treprostinil Injection in the United States. These up-front fees and milestone payments have been, and combined with revenue generated from Treprostinil Injection may continue to be, insufficient to match our operating expenses. We expect to continue to devote substantial financial and other resources to the clinical development of our product candidates and, as a result, must generate significant revenue to achieve and maintain profitability. We may continue to incur losses and negative cash flow and may never transition to profitability or positive cash flow. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and to satisfy our estimated liquidity needs for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, we will require additional funding over the next twelve months to continue our operations and maintain compliance with debt covenants, and could be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business prospects, or potentially force us to cease operations.
Current wording
Our ability to sustain profitability and positive cash flows will be affected by, among other factors, the timing and magnitude of our expenses, including payments related to the HCR Agreement and expenses related to our planned clinical studies and planned clinical studies. Since our incorporation, we have invested heavily in the development of our products and product candidates and technologies, as well as in recruiting management and scientific personnel. We have only recently started commercialization of YUTREPIA, and future cash flows from the sale of YUTREPIA remain uncertain. Revenue generated from YUTREPIA and Treprostinil Injection may be insufficient to match our operating expenses, particularly if United Therapeutics is successful in obtaining injunctive relief that would limit our ability to commercialize YUTREPIA, if we are able to do so at all. We expect to continue to devote substantial financial and other resources to the commercialization of YUTREPIA and further clinical development of YUTREPIA and our other product candidates and, as a result, must generate sustained revenue to achieve and maintain profitability. In the future, we may incur losses and have periods of negative cash flow and we may require additional funding to continue our operations and maintain compliance with debt covenants, and could be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business prospects, or potentially force us to cease operations.

We expect that we will need further financing for our existing business and future growth, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain funding on acceptable terms and on a timely basis may require us to curtail, delay or discontinue our product development efforts or other operations. The failure to obtain further financing may also prevent us from capitalizing on other potential product candidates or indications which may be more profitable than YUTREPIA and/or L606 or for which there may be a greater likelihood of success.
Current wording
In the event revenues from YUTREPIA are insufficient to support our future capital needs, we expect that we would need further financing for our existing business and future growth, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain funding, if needed, on acceptable terms and on a timely basis may require us to curtail, delay or discontinue our product commercialization and development efforts or other operations. The failure to obtain further financing may also prevent us from capitalizing on other potential product candidates or indications which may be more profitable than YUTREPIA and/or L606 or for which there may be a greater likelihood of success.
Previous wording
We expect that we will need to raise additional funds to meet our future funding requirements for the continued research, development and commercialization of our product candidates and technology. Our future funding requirements will be heavily determined by the timing of the potential commercialization of YUTREPIA and the resources needed to support development of our product candidates. In the event that funds generated from our operations are insufficient to fund our future growth, we may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or by borrowing from banks or other financial institutions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Global and local economic conditions could negatively affect our ability to raise funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. Such financing, even if obtained, may be accompanied by restrictive covenants that may, among others, limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consent for payment of dividends, or restrict our freedom to operate our business by requiring consent for certain actions.
Current wording
We may need to raise additional funds to meet our future funding requirements for commercialization and further clinical development of YUTREPIA and continued research, development and commercialization of our product candidates and technology. Our future funding requirements will be heavily determined by the success of commercialization of YUTREPIA and the resources needed to support development of new indications for YUTREPIA and development of our other product candidates. United Therapeutics is seeking injunctive relief that would require us to remove YUTREPIA from the market or remove one or both of PAH and PH-ILD from its label, which would limit our ability to commercialize YUTREPIA, if we are able to do so at all. In the event that funds generated from our operations are insufficient to fund our future growth, we may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or by borrowing from banks or other financial institutions.

We are using the net proceeds of our financing facility with HCR, our September 2024 public equity offering, the September 2024 Private Placement, the January 2024 Private Placement and prior public and private equity offerings to support the development and commercialization of YUTREPIA, including the potential commercial launch of YUTREPIA in the event of final FDA approval, the commercialization of Treprostinil Injection, the development and servicing of pumps for the administration of Treprostinil Injection, the development of L606, and for general corporate purposes. Our management has broad discretion in the application of such proceeds and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our equity. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, diminish cash flows available to service our obligations to HCR, cause the value of our equity to decline and delay the development of our product candidates. Pending their use, we may invest such proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities, which may not yield favorable returns.

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change”, generally defined as a greater than 50.0% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes, such as research tax credits, to offset its post-change income may be limited. Given our many financings and other equity issuances, including our September 2024 public equity offering, our September 2024 Private Placement, our January 2024 Private Placement, our December 2023 public equity offering, our December 2023 private placement, our April 2022 public equity offering, our 2021 private placement, the closing of the RareGen acquisition in November 2020, our July 2020 public equity offering, our December 2019 private placement, issuances under our prior at-the-market facility, our March 2019 follow-on equity offering and our July 2018 initial public offering, as well as other past transactions, we may have already triggered an “ownership change” limitation. We have not completed a formal study to determine if any “ownership changes” within the meaning of IRC Section 382 have occurred. If such “ownership changes” have occurred, and if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits generated since inception to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us and could require us to pay U.S. federal income taxes earlier than would be required if such limitations were not in effect. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes.
Current wording
Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change”, generally defined as a greater than 50.0% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and other pre-change tax attributes, such as research and development tax credits, to offset its post-change taxable income or tax liabilities may be limited. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we completed a study to assess whether historical equity transactions resulted in an ownership change within the meaning of Section 382 of the IRC. Based on this analysis, we determined that an ownership change occurred in a prior year. As a result, the utilization of a portion of our carryforwards is subject to an annual limitation under Section 382. The limitation may cause certain NOLs to expire unused before being fully utilized. Subsequent ownership changes may further limit our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits to offset future potential taxable income or tax liabilities. In addition, certain states have suspended use of net operating loss carryforwards for certain taxable years, and other states are considering similar measures. Depending on our future tax position, continued suspension of our ability to use NOLs could result in increased future tax liability to us and could have an adverse income on our results of operations and financial condition.

For example, beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the year incurred and instead requires taxpayers to capitalize and subsequently amortize such expenditures over five years for research activities conducted in the United States and over 15 years for research activities conducted outside the United States. In January 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, which would retroactively repeal for 2022 and 2023, and defer until 2026, the requirement to capitalize research and development expenditures for research activities conducted in the United States. Uncertainty exists as to whether the bill will be enacted into law. In addition, the IRA, among other things, included a new 15% alternative minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income of certain large corporations for tax years beginning in 2023. To the extent that such changes have a negative impact on us, including as a result of related uncertainty, these changes could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial position.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) reinstates the option to deduct domestic research and development expenditures in the year incurred, commencing with tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. Foreign research and development expenditures remain subject to the 15-year capitalization and amortization requirement.

We are a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company with no history of commercial operations upon which you can evaluate our prospects other than the activities we have undertaken with respect to the Promotion Agreement with Sandoz. Drug product development involves a substantial degree of uncertainty. Our operations to date have been limited to engaging in promotional and nonpromotional activities under the Promotion Agreement with Sandoz, developing our PRINT technology, undertaking preclinical studies and clinical trials for our product candidates and collaborating with pharmaceutical companies, including GSK, to expand the applications for our PRINT technology through licensing as well as joint product development arrangements. We have not obtained final marketing approval for any of our product candidates and, accordingly, have not demonstrated an ability to generate revenue from our own pharmaceutical products or successfully overcome the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies undertaking drug product development. Consequently, your ability to assess our business, financial condition and prospects may be significantly limited. Further, the net losses that we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, such that a period-to-period comparison of our results of operations may not be a good indication of our future performance. Other unanticipated costs may also arise in connection with the development of our product candidates and commercialization of any approved products.

In order for YUTREPIA, L606 or Treprostinil Injection to be administered to patients, patients must use certain other medical equipment, including dry powder inhalers (in the case of YUTREPIA), nebulizers (in the case of L606), and pumps, cartridges and infusion sets (in the case of Treprostinil Injection). We do not manufacture or control such medical equipment, which is manufactured by third parties. In addition, while we will distribute the necessary medical devices used for YUTREPIA and L606 in kits with our product, the medical devices for Treprostinil Injection are owned and dispensed by specialty pharmacies, hospitals or other third parties. Our ability to serve patients is dependent upon our ability and the ability of specialty pharmacies to maintain sufficient inventory of such medical equipment to provide to patients. If manufacturers cease to manufacture or support medical equipment or if we or specialty pharmacies are unable to obtain or maintain sufficient inventories of such medical equipment, our sales may be adversely impacted.

In connection with an amendment to our NDA filed in July 2023 to add PH-ILD as an indication for YUTREPIA, we provided a new notice of the paragraph IV certification to United Therapeutics as the owner of the patents that are the subject of the certification to which the NDA for YUTREPIA refers. As a result, in September 2023, United Therapeutics filed a complaint for patent infringement against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Case No. 1:23-cv-00975-RGA) (the “New Hatch-Waxman Litigation”). In the New Hatch-Waxman Litigation, United Therapeutics is asserting that the Company infringes U.S. Patent No. 11,826,327 (the “‘327 Patent”), entitled “Treatment for Interstitial Lung Disease.” In February 2024, United Therapeutics filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent us from manufacturing, marketing, storing, importing, distributing, offering for sale, and/or selling YUTREPIA for the treatment of PH-ILD. The motion for a preliminary injunction was denied in May 2024, and trial is currently scheduled for June 2025.

In the ‘327 Patent Litigation, United Therapeutics is asserting that the Company infringes U.S. Patent No. 11,826,327 (the “‘327 Patent”), entitled “Treatment for Interstitial Lung Disease,” and is seeking injunctive relief that would require YUTREPIA to be removed from the market and monetary damages. Trial was held in June 2025. The outcome of the trial is uncertain, which creates risk regarding our ability to continue commercializing YUTREPIA, because an adverse decision could result in immediate injunctive or

In addition, United Therapeutics may seek to assert newly issued patents against us, including U.S. Patent Number 11,723,887, and may seek to enjoin the FDA from granting final approval to YUTREPIA or enjoin us from launching YUTREPIA through one or more additional legal proceedings.
Current wording
United Therapeutics may in the future seek to assert additional or newly issued patents against us, including U.S. Patent Number 11,723,887, and may seek to enjoin us from selling YUTREPIA for one or more indications through one or more additional legal proceedings.
Previous wording
As a result of this litigation instituted to date and potential litigation that may be instituted in the future, final FDA approval of YUTREPIA for PAH and/or PH-ILD may be further delayed even after Tyvaso DPI’s New Clinical Investigation exclusivity expires on May 23, 2025. Further, even if we receive FDA approval for YUTREPIA, we may be subject to significant delay and incur substantial additional costs in litigation before we are able to commercialize YUTREPIA, if at all. In addition, if United Therapeutics is successful in any of its claims that it has brought to date or any claims it may bring in the future, we may be unable to commercialize YUTREPIA for the treatment of one or more indications or at all until the expiration of the applicable United Therapeutics patents, which could materially harm our business. For example, in the event United Therapeutics prevails with respect to its claims regarding the ‘327 Patent, it is possible that an injunction could be issued, preventing the FDA from granting final approval for YUTREPIA for PH-ILD or forcing the FDA to revoke any prior approval for YUTREPIA for PH-ILD. Also, although United Therapeutics’ initial requests for injunctive relief have been denied, if United Therapeutics is successful in obtaining a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order in the New Hatch-Waxman Litigation or the New FDA Litigation, we could be limited to commercializing YUTREPIA only for the PAH indication for an extended time period.

If United Therapeutics is successful in any of its claims that it has brought to date or any claims it may bring in the future, we may be unable to commercialize YUTREPIA for the treatment of one or more indications or at all until the expiration of the applicable United Therapeutics patents, which could materially harm our business. For example, in the event United Therapeutics prevails with respect to its claims regarding the ‘327 Patent, it is possible that an injunction could be issued, forcing the FDA to withdraw the approval for YUTREPIA, at least until PH-ILD has been removed from the label, or restricting our ability to market and sell YUTREPIA for one or both indications for which it has been approved. In such event, we could be prevented from commercializing YUTREPIA for one or more indications for an extended time period.

In December 2021, United Therapeutics filed a complaint in the Superior Court in Durham County, North Carolina, alleging that we and a former United Therapeutics employee who later joined us as an employee many years after terminating his employment with United Therapeutics (the “Former Employee”) conspired to misappropriate certain trade secrets of United Therapeutics and engaged in unfair or deceptive trade practices. In January 2024, the Former Employee filed a motion for summary judgment on all claims, but the motion was denied in July 2024. In addition, in July 2024, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to all claims. Briefing on the Company’s motion is complete and a hearing was held in December 2024.

In May 2024, United Therapeutics filed a second complaint in the Superior Court in Durham County, North Carolina, against the Former Employee, alleging that he breached prior employment agreements with United Therapeutics by failing to assign to United Therapeutics his interest in patents obtained by the Company that relied upon or benefitted from certain inventions, discoveries, materials, authorship, derivatives and results developed by the Former Employee while he was employed by United Therapeutics. The Company was also named as a defendant in this new lawsuit. As part of the lawsuit, United Therapeutics alleges that the Former Employee misappropriated certain intellectual property of United Therapeutics which led to the development of YUTREPIA. The complaint also seeks declaratory judgement such that all right, title and interest in and to any patentable or unpatentable inventions, discoveries, and ideas made or conceived by the Former Employee while employed by the Company should be assigned and transferred to United Therapeutics because they involved the use of United Therapeutics’ confidential information. In July 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all claims. Briefing on the motion is complete and a hearing was held in December 2024. The motion remains pending.

We could be found liable for monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees if we are found to have willfully infringed a patent or to have misappropriated a trade secret of United Therapeutics. In addition, we may be forced to redesign YUTREPIA to avoid infringement.

We are subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and the ability to fund future operations and capital requirements through product sales or, if necessary, additional capital from external financing. We expect to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we commercialize YUTREPIA and advance YUTREPIA and our other product candidates through clinical trials, seek regulatory approval and pursue commercialization of any approved product candidates. Our ability to generate sustained revenue will be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain FDA approval for and successfully commercialize YUTREPIA or obtain marketing approval for and successfully commercialize one or more of our other product candidates. United Therapeutics is seeking injunctive relief that would require us to remove YUTREPIA from the market or remove one or both of PAH and PH-ILD from its label, which would limit our ability to commercialize YUTREPIA, if we are able to do so at all.

Legislative and regulatory proposals have been made to expand post-approval requirements and restrict sales and promotional activities for pharmaceutical products. We cannot be sure whether additional legislative changes will be enacted, or whether the FDA or foreign regulations, guidance or interpretations will be changed, or what the impact of such changes on the marketing approvals of our product candidates, if any, may be. Further, recent policy changes affecting the FDA have resulted in significant changes to research, testing, regulatory approval or clearance, manufacturing and marketing of FDA-regulated products. The FDA has also adopted certain programs, including the PreCheck Program and Commissioner’s National Priority Review Voucher Program, designed to increase domestic production of FDA-regulated products and increased enforcement activities by issuing larger numbers of warning letters to pharmaceutical companies related to violation of regulatory standards governing direct-to-consumer advertising.
