1.c. Company Highlights

2. United Therapeutics' Q3 2025 Earnings: A Record-Breaking Quarter

United Therapeutics Corporation reported a record total revenue of $800 million for the third quarter of 2025, representing a 7% growth from the same period in 2024. The company's earnings per share (EPS) came in at $7.16, beating analyst estimates of $6.89. The strong financial performance was driven by the continued growth of its pulmonary hypertension treatments, including Tyvaso DPI and Orenitram. As Michael Benkowitz, President and Chief Operating Officer, noted, the company's underlying metrics, such as patient shipments and prescriber breadth, showed a strong upward trend, nearing pre-YUTREPIA launch levels.

Publication Date: Oct -30

📋 Highlights
  • Total Revenue Growth:: Achieved record $800 million revenue, up 7% from Q3 2024.
  • Tyvaso DPI Expansion:: Drove double-digit revenue growth, with 80mcg cartridges launching in 30-60 days for dosing flexibility.
  • Remodulin Innovation:: Launched RemunityPRO pump to improve parenteral therapy experience for patients.
  • Phase III Trial Progress:: Three trials fully enrolled, with IPF results showing best-ever reported outcomes.
  • 2027 Revenue Target:: Guided toward $4 billion annualized run rate, projecting $1.5 billion in 2027 driven by IPF advancements.

Revenue Growth Drivers

Tyvaso DPI was a key driver of the company's revenue growth, with double-digit sales increases. The convenience and unlimited dosing potential of the DPI device contributed to its success. The company is expected to launch Tyvaso DPI 80 microgram cartridges, which will offer a clear competitive edge in dosing flexibility. The launch is planned for the next 30-60 days, aiming to provide easier dosing for patients.

Pipeline Progress

United Therapeutics made significant progress in its pipeline, with the full enrollment of three Phase III trials and the sharing of unblinded results for pulmonary fibrosis. The results demonstrated the best outcomes ever reported for the condition, and the company is guiding towards a $4 billion revenue run rate by 2027, driven by the strength of its IPF results.

Valuation Metrics

With a P/E Ratio of 15.68 and an EV/EBITDA of 11.28, the company's valuation appears reasonable, considering its strong growth prospects. The ROE of 18.83% and ROIC of 16.75% indicate a high level of profitability. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 5.7%, which is slightly lower than the current year's growth rate. The company's strong financial performance and growth prospects make it an attractive investment opportunity.

Future Outlook

The company expects continued growth in both PAH and PH-ILD indications in 2026 and beyond. The TETON-PPF study is halfway through enrollment, and results suggest that inhaled treprostinil may offer a treatment option for PPF patients. United Therapeutics plans to meet with the FDA before year-end to discuss expedited review, and the opportunity in pulmonary fibrosis is more than twice the size of the opportunity in pulmonary hypertension.
