Liquidia and United Therapeutics Reach $175M Settlement Agreement

Liquidia (LQDA) and United Therapeutics (UTHR) reached a global settlement agreement that resolves all pending litigation between the companies. YUTREPIA, or treprostinil, inhalation powder will remain available to patients with PAH without disruption. Under the agreement, Liquidia will make a net payment to UTHR of $175M within 30 business days. The net payment includes funds paid by UTHR to Liquidia to resolve the antitrust litigation tied to Treprostinil Injection. Liquidia will also pay $145.4M in two equal installments of $72.7M due on or before January 31, 2027, and April 30, 2027, respectively. In connection with the settlement, Liquidia entered into agreements with the parties with interests in the antitrust litigation related to Treprostinil Injection. Under those agreements, Liquidia will pay an aggregate of $60.3M this month in full satisfaction of those parties' interests in the antitrust litigation. Concurrently, Liquidia terminated the promotional agreement tied to Treprostinil Injection and will no longer commercially support the product in the market. Michael Kaseta, COO and CFO, said: "We are confident this settlement is in the best interests of our patients and shareholders and in our ability to meet the settlement obligations while continuing to invest in the business. We expect to fund the outlined payments from the ongoing sales of YUTREPIA and cash on hand. Preliminary and unaudited results from the third quarter 2026 included YUTREPIA net product sales of $222.7M, contributing to total cash and cash equivalents of $396.1M as of September 30. We expect to rebuild our cash position and fund our planned clinical studies without requiring additional financing." Liquidia will provide a broader update on YUTREPIA's performance, its financial position and its pipeline priorities on its third-quarter 2026 earnings call in November.
