Revenue by source

  • Royalties rose on Tyvaso DPI: Royalties were $37.5 million, up 12%. The company attributed the increase to United Therapeutics (UT) higher net revenue from Tyvaso DPI sales. Source

  • V-Go sales declined: V-Go revenue was $3.3 million, down 14% from $3.8 million a year earlier. Source

“Furoscix ReadyFlow is off to an exceptionally strong start, and we believe Furoscix will generate more revenue in the fourth quarter than it did in the first half of 2026.”
