The company is working to expand Renacidin® drug formulary inclusion to boost future sales.

United-Guardian (NASDAQ:UG) has declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share, payable on August 1, 2025, to stockholders of record as of July 25, 2025. This marks the company's 30th consecutive year of dividend payments.

The company plans to retain a portion of earnings to fund new growth initiatives in the second half of 2025, including strategies to expand their personal care products market and a major project aimed at growing sales of Renacidin® Irrigation Solution, their key pharmaceutical product.
