Forward guidance
Due to the rapidly evolving situation with COVID-19, United Therapeutics is no longer able to predict whether their full-year 2020 net revenues will grow compared to 2019.
Tailwinds
- Financial position is strong with enough cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand to fund operations for at least two years.
- Have an ample supply of products with sufficient inventory of finished treprostinil-based products to supply the market for two years at current levels of demand.
- Manufacturing of treprostinil-based products continues mostly as usual, and do not currently anticipate any supply shortages.
- Distribution of drug product to patients continues without interruption.
- Planned regulatory activities and interactions with the FDA continue.
Headwinds
- It is too early to predict what impact this pandemic, and the associated economic downturn, will have on our business.
- There is considerable uncertainty and lack of visibility regarding our near-term revenue growth prospects and product development plans due to the rapidly evolving situation.
- Observed a decline in new prescriptions from our treprostinil-based products during the month of April 2020 that we believe is primarily due to the inability of patients to visit their physicians’ offices.
- Commercial efforts continue but could be disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Most of our ongoing clinical studies have paused enrollment during the pandemic.
