Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Business Description
United Therapeutics Corporation is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative products to address the unmet medical needs of patients with chronic and life-threatening conditions. In 2021, we converted to a Delaware public benefit corporation (PBC), with the express public benefit purpose to provide a brighter future for patients through (a) the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and (b) technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.
We have approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the following therapies: Tyvaso DPI® (treprostinil) Inhalation Powder (Tyvaso DPI), Tyvaso® (treprostinil) Inhalation Solution (nebulized Tyvaso), Remodulin® (treprostinil) Injection (Remodulin), Orenitram® (treprostinil) Extended-Release Tablets (Orenitram), Unituxin® (dinutuximab) Injection (Unituxin), and Adcirca® (tadalafil) Tablets (Adcirca). We also derive revenues outside the United States from sales of nebulized Tyvaso, Remodulin, and Unituxin.
As used in these notes to our consolidated financial statements, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and similar terms refer to United Therapeutics Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held 578 and 411 available-for-sale debt securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position. In assessing whether the decline in fair value as of September 30, 2023 of any of these securities resulted from a credit loss, we consulted with our investment managers and reviewed the credit ratings for each security. We believe that these unrealized losses are a direct result of the current interest rate environment and do not represent an indication of credit loss. We do not intend to sell the investments in unrealized loss positions prior to their maturity, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. There were no impairments due to credit loss on our available-for-sale debt securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities (in millions). Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of certain of these debt securities have the right to call the securities or prepay their obligations under the securities with or without penalties.

Investments in Equity Securities with Readily Determinable Fair Values
We held investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values, in the aggregate, of $16.9 million and $30.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which are included in current marketable investments in our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of publicly-traded equity securities are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations within other expense, net. Refer to Note 4—Fair Value Measurements.
Investments in Privately-Held Companies
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we maintained non-controlling equity investments in privately-held companies of $28.5 million in the aggregate. We measure these investments using the measurement alternative because the fair values of these investments are not readily determinable. Under this alternative, the investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for any observable price changes. We include our investments in privately-held companies within other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. These investments are subject to a periodic impairment review and, if impaired, the investment is measured and recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.
4. Fair Value Measurements
We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value and classify these assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3). Our other current assets and other current liabilities have fair values that approximate their carrying values.

(2)Included in cash and cash equivalents and current and non-current marketable investments in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 3—Investments—Marketable Investments—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities for further information. The fair value of these securities is principally measured or corroborated by trade data for identical securities for which related trading activity is not sufficiently frequent to be considered a Level 1 input or comparable securities that are more actively traded.
(3)Included in current marketable investments in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $3.4 million and $13.8 million of net unrealized losses, respectively, on these securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $8.5 million and $29.9 million, respectively, of net unrealized and realized losses on these securities. We recorded these gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations within other expense, net. Refer to Note 3—Investments—Marketable Investments—Investments in Equity Securities with Readily Determinable Fair Values.
(4)Included in other current assets and other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We estimated the fair value of contingent consideration using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation incorporates Level 3 inputs including the probability of completing certain milestones during a specified period of time. The fair value of our contingent consideration assets decreased by $0.1 million during the period from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023. The loss was recorded within other expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations.
(5)Included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our contingent consideration obligations has been estimated using probability-weighted discounted cash flow models (DCFs). The DCFs incorporate Level 3 inputs, including estimated discount rates, that we believe market participants would consider relevant in pricing, and the projected timing and amount of cash flows, which are estimated and developed, in part, based on the requirements specific to each acquisition agreement. The fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities decreased by $1.6 million during the period from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023. The gain was recorded within research and development in our consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The fair values of our marketable investments and contingent consideration are

7. Debt
Credit Agreement
In March 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo), as administrative agent and a swingline lender, and various other lender parties, which provides for: (1) an unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $1.2 billion; and (2) a second unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $800.0 million (which facilities may, at our request, be increased by up to $500.0 million in the aggregate subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders for such increase and other conditions). In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, in March 2023, we extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement by one year, to March 2028. The Credit Agreement provides the lenders the ability to extend the maturity date by one additional year to March 2029 if we request such an extension.
At our option, amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either an adjusted Term Secured Overnight Finance Rate (Term SOFR) or a fluctuating base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin determined on a quarterly basis based on our consolidated ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement). To date, we have elected to calculate interest on the outstanding balance at an adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin.
On March 31, 2022, we borrowed $800.0 million under the Credit Agreement, and used the funds to repay outstanding indebtedness under a prior credit agreement.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our outstanding aggregate principal balance under the Credit Agreement was $800.0 million. Although our credit facility matures in 2028, we reclassified $300.0 million of the outstanding balance as a current liability on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, as we intend to repay this amount within one year.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants. Lung Biotechnology PBC is our only subsidiary that guarantees our obligations under the Credit Agreement though, from time to time, one or more of our other subsidiaries may be required to guarantee our obligations.
The interest expense reported in our consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is related to our borrowings under the Credit Agreement and our borrowings under a prior credit agreement.

8. Share-Based Compensation
As of September 30, 2023, we have two shareholder-approved equity incentive plans: the United Therapeutics Corporation Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the 1999 Plan) and the United Therapeutics Corporation Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2015 Plan). The 2015 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 12,500,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to awards granted under the 2015 Plan, which includes 1,000,000 shares added pursuant to an amendment and restatement of the 2015 Plan approved by our shareholders in June 2023. No further awards will be granted under the 1999 Plan. We also have one equity incentive plan, the United Therapeutics Corporation 2019 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan (the 2019 Inducement Plan), that has not been approved by our shareholders, as permitted by the Nasdaq Stock Market rules. The 2019 Inducement Plan was approved by our Board of Directors in February 2019 and provides for the issuance of up to 99,000 shares of our common stock under awards granted to newly-hired employees. Currently, we grant equity-based awards to employees and members of our Board of Directors in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) under the 2015 Plan, and we may grant RSUs to newly-hired employees under the 2019 Inducement Plan. Refer to the sections entitled Stock Options and RSUs below for additional information regarding these equity-based awards.
In March 2023, we issued stock options and RSUs to certain executives with vesting conditions tied to the achievement of specified performance criteria through the end of 2025. Throughout the performance period, we reassess the estimated performance and update the number of performance-based awards that we believe will ultimately vest. Estimating future performance requires the use of judgment. Upon the conclusion of the performance period, the performance level achieved and the ultimate number of shares that may vest are determined. Share-based compensation expense for these awards is recorded ratably over their vesting period, depending on the specific terms of the award and anticipated achievement of the specified performance criteria.
We previously issued awards under the United Therapeutics Corporation 2011 Share Tracking Awards Plan (the STAP). We refer to awards outstanding under the STAP as STAP awards. Refer to the section entitled STAP Awards below for additional information regarding STAP awards. We discontinued the issuance of STAP awards in June 2015.
In 2012, our shareholders approved the United Therapeutics Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which is structured to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Refer to the section entitled ESPP below for additional information regarding the ESPP.
The following table reflects the components of share-based compensation expense (benefit) recognized in our consolidated statements of operations (in millions):

Stock Options
We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, which requires us to make certain assumptions that can materially impact the estimation of fair value and related compensation expense. The assumptions used to estimate fair value include the price of our common stock, the expected volatility of our common stock, the risk-free interest rate, the expected term of stock option awards, and the expected dividend yield.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, in addition to time-based stock options, we granted 0.4 million performance-based stock options with a total grant date fair value of $35.6 million, calculated based on the assumed achievement of maximum performance of the relevant financial performance condition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $5.2 million and $6.4 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively, related to performance-based stock options, calculated based on the assumed level of performance achievement.
The following weighted average assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

RSUs
Each RSU entitles the recipient to one share of our common stock upon vesting. We measure the fair value of RSUs using the stock price on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense for RSUs is recorded ratably over their vesting period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, in addition to time-based RSUs, we granted 0.2 million performance-based RSUs with a total grant date fair value of $32.2 million, calculated based on the assumed achievement of maximum performance of the relevant financial and non-financial performance conditions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $2.1 million and $3.2 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively, related to performance-based RSUs, calculated based on the assumed levels of performance achievement.

STAP Awards
STAP awards convey the right to receive in cash an amount equal to the appreciation of our common stock, which is measured as the increase in the closing price of our common stock between the dates of grant and exercise. STAP awards expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date, and in most cases, they vest in equal increments on each anniversary of the grant date over a four-year period. We discontinued the issuance of STAP awards in June 2015.
The aggregate liability balance associated with outstanding STAP awards was $40.6 million and $80.8 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, all of which was classified as a current liability in our consolidated balance sheets.
Estimating the fair value of STAP awards requires the use of certain inputs that can materially impact the determination of fair value and the amount of compensation expense we recognize. Inputs used in estimating fair value include the price of our common stock, the expected volatility of the price of our common stock, the risk-free interest rate, the expected term of STAP awards, and the expected dividend yield. The fair value of the STAP awards is measured at the end of each financial reporting period because the awards are settled in cash.
The table below includes the weighted average assumptions used to measure the fair value of the outstanding STAP awards:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2023 | | September 30, 2022 |
Expected term of awards (in years) | 0.6 | | 1.0 |

Expected dividend yield | — | % | | — | % |
The closing price of our common stock was $225.87 and $209.38 on September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The closing price of our common stock was $278.09 on December 31, 2022.

ESPP
The ESPP provides eligible employees with the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount through elective accumulated payroll deductions at the end of each offering period. Eligible employees may contribute up to 15 percent of their base salary, subject to certain annual limitations as defined in the ESPP. The purchase price of the shares is equal to the lower of 85 percent of the closing price of our common stock on either the first or last trading day of a given offering period. In addition, the ESPP provides that no eligible employee may purchase more than 4,000 shares during any offering period. The ESPP expires in June 2032 and limits the aggregate number of shares that can be issued under the ESPP to 3.0 million.
9. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options, outstanding RSUs, and shares issuable under the ESPP, as if the RSUs were vested, the stock options were exercised, and the shares expected to be issued under the ESPP at the end of the current offering period were issued.
Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed independently for each quarter and year-to-date period presented. The sum of the earnings per common share for each quarter in a year-to-date period may not equal the earnings per common share for such year-to-date period due to rounding.
