Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 7% year-over-year (YoY) in Q3 and 12% for the nine-month period. Growth was driven primarily by Tyvaso DPI (up 22% in Q3) and Orenitram (up 16% in Q3), partially offset by declines in Unituxin (down 22% in Q3) and Nebulized Tyvaso (down 11% in Q3).
• Expense Management: Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 17% in Q3 YoY, largely due to a significant reduction in litigation accruals compared to the $65.1M accrued in Q3 2024. However, SG&A for the nine-month period increased 4% due to a $21.7M impairment charge for property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) in Q2 2025.
• Debt Reduction: The company terminated its 2022 Credit Agreement and entered a new $2.5B facility in April 2025. All outstanding debt was repaid by the end of Q2 2025, resulting in zero debt as of September 30, 2025.
• Share Repurchases: In August 2025, the company entered into accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements totaling $1.0 billion. Initial deliveries of approximately 2.64 million shares were received in August.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Product Pipeline: The company announced positive Phase 3 results for Nebulized Tyvaso in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (TETON 2 study). Enrollment for the Phase 3 ADVANCE OUTCOMES study of Ralinepag (oral PAH therapy) concluded in June 2025, with data expected in H1 2026.
• Xenotransplantation: The company is advancing its xenotransplantation program, having received FDA clearance for the EXPAND study (UKidney) and EXTEND study (UThymoKidney). The first transplant for the EXPAND study is expected shortly.
• Competition: Liquidia launched Yutrepia in June 2025, a direct competitor to Tyvaso products. The company is engaged in patent litigation with Liquidia regarding Yutrepia and trade secret misappropriation. Merck's Winrevair also launched in March 2024.
• Litigation: A final judgment in the Sandoz litigation was entered in November 2024, ordering the company to pay approximately $61.6M in damages plus interest. The company has accrued $73.3M as of September 30, 2025, and is appealing the decision. Other ongoing litigation includes cases with Humana, United Healthcare, and MSP Recovery.
• Capital Expenditures: The company has budgeted approximately $520 million for capital expenditures from Q4 2025 through 2027, primarily for a new Tyvaso DPI manufacturing facility and designated pathogen-free (DPF) facilities for xenotransplantation.

Key Investor Verification Points

• Yutrepia Impact: Monitor the impact of Liquidia's Yutrepia launch on Tyvaso DPI and Nebulized Tyvaso sales volumes and pricing in upcoming quarters.
• Litigation Outcomes: Track the status of the Sandoz appeal and the ongoing patent/trade secret litigation with Liquidia, as adverse outcomes could result in significant additional liabilities or loss of market exclusivity.
• Share Repurchase Settlement: Verify the final share count and average price upon the settlement of the $1.0B ASR agreements in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026.
• IPF/PPF Expansion: Confirm the timeline for FDA submission and approval of Nebulized Tyvaso for IPF and PPF indications following the TETON study results.
• Xenotransplantation Milestones: Monitor the initiation and early safety data of the UKidney and UThymoKidney clinical trials, as these represent high-risk, high-reward long-term growth drivers.
