Expert Statements

Roger Jeffs, CEO of Liquidia Corporation

“We are always guided by our commitment to act in the best interests of patients in everything we do. Today’s agreement fully resolves years of litigation and provides certainty to PAH patients that they can continue to access YUTREPIA, whose differentiated attributes have enabled its rapid adoption by physicians and patients since launch. We can now focus our full attention and resources on further growing the YUTREPIA brand, with the goal of making it the prostacyclin therapy of choice in PAH, whether patients are starting or switching from an inhaled therapy, transitioning from an oral prostacyclin, or de-escalating from parenteral prostacyclin to inhaled. And simultaneously, we will continue to build on our market position through post-marketing studies of YUTREPIA, pivotal studies of L606 to support PAH and PH-ILD indications, and new studies to explore novel treatments for conditions like systemic sclerosis-associated Raynaud's phenomenon (SSc-RP) and pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (PH-COPD), where no approved options exist.”

Michael Kaseta, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Liquidia Corporation

“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 $222.7 million, contributing to total cash and cash equivalents of $396.1 million as of September 30, 2026. We expect to rebuild our cash position and fund our planned clinical studies without requiring additional financing.”
