Wow! I just got my hands on this year’s annual report from United Therapeutics. It includes something unlike anything I have ever seen. So creative. The annual report includes a playful video player – uniquely entitled “Annual Rapport 2017” – which includes a USB cord so that you can charge the video device and play it again.

The video starts with an actor talking about victim-shaming in clinical responses to dinosaur aggression in paleozoic New Jersey. Then the video goes on to explain what an annual report is (nice “shout out” to US Steel for the first annual report in 1903) – and then through the “elements” of the annual report. All done with some nice play-acting by an actress from “Saturday Night Live.” Makes it more interesting for sure.

My favorite part is clicking on the “Shareholder Letter” button – which results in an arrow pointing to the letter in paper tucked under the opposite side of the video player.

Looks like United Therapeutics also has fun with their website – the IR page has a zombie theme (scroll to the bottom). The company’s CEO seems dynamic – see this WaPo article about her.
