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
