United Therapeutics Q2 revenue misses estimates on Ebulized Tyvaso weakness

United Therapeutics Q2 revenue misses estimates on Ebulized Tyvaso weakness


Overview

  • Rare disease drugmaker's Q2 revenue fell 2% yr/yr, missing analyst expectations

  • Q2 net income rose 8% yr/yr; diluted EPS increased 13%

  • Revenue decline driven by lower Nebulized Tyvaso and Remodulin sales amid competition


Outlook

  • Company expects potential approvals for Nebulized Tyvaso in IPF and ralinepag tablets in PAH by next year

  • United Therapeutics plans to launch two xeno-organ production facilities later this year

  • Company sees continued strong demand for Tyvaso DPI, supported by device differentiation and clinical experience


Result Drivers

  • NEBULIZED TYVASO DECLINE - Co said Nebulized Tyvaso revenue fell due to lower U.S. quantities sold, partially offset by price increases

  • TYVASO DPI GROWTH - Co said Tyvaso DPI revenue rose on higher quantities sold and price increases, partially offset by higher gross-to-net deductions

  • COMPETITION IMPACT - Co said availability of competitive therapies negatively affected sales of Nebulized Tyvaso, Tyvaso DPI and Remodulin
