Welcome to the 2020 full year and fourth quarter earnings call of United Therapeutics. We are going to have a really great call today. UT is a pulmonary hypertension Company, now becoming both a pulmonary hypertension and a pulmonary fibrosis Company.
We expect our products for these two markets to generate double-digit growth for several years to come. For example, today we report that our fourth quarter 2020 revenues grew by double-digits, about 24% from fourth quarter 2019 and even excluding a one-time 2019 operation in the distributor order patterns, revenue still grew over 10%, fourth quarter year-over-year with Tyvaso posting a 27% growth fourth quarter year-over-year and Orenitram posting a UT record 30% growth.
