About Viatris
Viatris is a global healthcare company whose breadth and scale we believe make it uniquely positioned to address healthcare needs globally. With
a mission to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life, Viatris supplies high-quality medicines to approximately 1 billion patients
around the world each year. The Company has a global footprint, an extensive portfolio of medicines that is well-diversified across therapeutic areas, a one-
of-a-kind global supply chain designed to reach more people when and where they need them, and the scientific expertise to address some of the world's
most enduring health challenges.
Viatris’ executive management team is focused on ensuring that the Company is optimally structured and efficiently resourced to deliver
sustainable value to patients, shareholders, customers and other key stakeholders. The Company operates in more than 165 countries and territories with
more than 30,000 employees. The Company has 27 manufacturing, packaging, and distribution sites worldwide, more than 1,400 approved molecules, and
what we believe is industry leading commercial, R&D, regulatory, manufacturing, legal and medical expertise. Viatris’ portfolio consists of generics
(including complex products), globally recognized iconic brands, and an expanding portfolio of innovative medicines. Viatris is headquartered in the U.S.,
with global centers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Shanghai, China and Hyderabad, India.
A Strong Foundation for Performance and Impact
We believe that Viatris’ ability to sustainably deliver high-quality medicines is grounded in its mission to empower people worldwide to live
healthier at every stage of life.
Viatris has executed various strategic initiatives, transactions and business arrangements over the last few years to return its base business to
growth, deliver on its pipeline, reduce debt, and return capital to shareholders. The Company has also completed certain divestiture-related transactions to
simplify and streamline its business, accelerate paydown of debt and unlock value as discussed below.
•
In November 2022, Viatris completed a transaction to contribute its biosimilars portfolio to Biocon Biologics to create a vertically integrated
global biosimilars leader, for a combination of cash and stock in the form of CCPS representing a stake of approximately 12.9% (on a fully diluted
basis) in Biocon Biologics.
•
In March 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its women's healthcare business, primarily related to its oral and injectable
contraceptives, to Insud Pharma, S.L., a leading Spanish multinational pharmaceutical company. The transaction included two manufacturing
facilities in India: one in Ahmedabad and one in Sarigam.
•
In June 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its API business in India to Matrix Pharma Private Limited, a privately held
pharmaceutical company based in India. The transaction included three manufacturing sites and an R&D lab in Hyderabad, three manufacturing
sites in Vizag and third-party API sales. Viatris retained some selective R&D capabilities in API.
•
In July 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its OTC Business to Cooper Consumer Health, a leading European OTC drug
manufacturer and distributor. The transaction included two manufacturing sites located in Merignac, France, and Confienza, Italy, and an R&D
site in Monza, Italy. The Company retained the rights for Viagra®, Dymista® (which, in certain limited markets, are sold as OTC products) and
select OTC products in certain markets.
•
Viatris divested its rights to women’s healthcare products Duphaston® and Femoston® in certain countries to Theramex HQ UK Limited, a
leading global specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to women's health. The transaction (other than in the U.K., which was sold to Insud
Pharma, S.L. in August 2024) closed in December 2023.
•
The divestitures of the commercialization rights in the majority of the Upjohn Distributor Markets closed during 2023 and 2024.

2025 Significant Accomplishments
In 2025, Viatris continued to reshape its business while delivering meaningful progress for shareholders, patients, and employees alike. Among
this year’s achievements:
•
Strong Commercial Execution: Viatris reported 2025 total revenues of $14.30 billion, despite the impact of divestitures and the Indore Impact,
demonstrating renewed momentum in our base business.
•
Pipeline Progress:
◦
The Company advanced its innovative pipeline with five positive Phase 3 data readouts:
▪
Received positive results from the Phase 3 open-label, long-term extension study for EFFEXOR® required for approval in
Japan. The Company also filed applications to the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for approval of EFFEXOR SR
Capsules (venlafaxine hydrochloride), a serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor to treat adults with generalized anxiety
disorder, an indication for which no other treatment option is currently approved in Japan.
▪
Announced positive top-line results from two pivotal Phase 3 studies of its novel fast-absorbing formulation of meloxicam (MR-
107A-02) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain. The Phase 3 program consisted of two randomized, double-blind,
placebo-(double-dummy) and active-controlled trials – one following herniorrhaphy surgery and one following bunionectomy
surgery. In both Phase 3 studies, all primary and key secondary endpoints were met and MR-107A-02 demonstrated statistically
significant and clinically meaningful results.
▪
Announced positive results of its Phase 3 study evaluating the contraceptive efficacy and safety of investigational low dose
estrogen weekly dermal patch with 150 mcg norelgestromin and 17.5 mcg ethinyl estradiol per day in women of childbearing
potential. In this study, the patch demonstrated a favorable efficacy and safety profile with no new safety concerns identified, as
well as a potential best-in-class patch performance profile. The Company’s NDA was accepted under the FDA’s 505(b)(2)
regulatory pathway, and the FDA has assigned a target action date of July 30, 2026.
▪
Announced positive top-line results from LYNX-2, a pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating MR-142 (phentolamine ophthalmic
solution 0.75%) in treating significant, chronic night driving impairment in keratorefractive patients with reduced mesopic
vision.
▪
Announced positive top-line results from VEGA-3, the second pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating MR-141 (phentolamine
ophthalmic solution 0.75%) in treating presbyopia, the age-related progressive loss of the ability to focus on close objects that
results in blurred near vision and eye strain. The supplemental NDA was accepted for review by the FDA in February 2026 and
the Company anticipates FDA action during the second half of 2026.
◦
Patient enrollment for selatogrel and cenerimod clinical trials remains on track.
◦
The Company received the first approval for Inpefa® (sotagliflozin) in the United Arab Emirates, and the product was launched in early
2026 — an important milestone in our innovative brands strategy. Viatris obtained the rights to sotagliflozin for all markets outside of the
U.S. and Europe in October 2024. The Company filed regulatory submissions in Saudi Arabia, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
◦
The Company launched its Iron Sucrose Injection, USP, in the U.S. The product, which is an intravenous iron replacement product used
to treat iron deficiency anemia in adult and pediatric patients (2 years of age and older) with chronic kidney disease, is available in single
dose vials in the following strengths: 50 mg/2.5mL, 100mg/5mL and 200mg/10mL.
•
Capital Return: In 2025, Viatris returned more than $1 billion of capital to shareholders, including approximately $500 million in share
repurchases and $561 million in dividends.
•
Operational Resilience: Viatris made substantial progress on its initial remediation activities at its oral finished dose manufacturing facility in
Indore, India, including but not limited to related personnel actions. The Company has been in regular communication with the FDA during this
process and will continue to work to ensure that the FDA is satisfied with the steps taken to resolve all the points raised.
•
Accretive Business Development Opportunities: Viatris continued to advance its pipeline of innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets in
areas of unmet medical need through accretive in-market business development opportunities, including its October 2025 acquisition of Aculys
Pharma, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on commercializing innovative treatments for neurological conditions primarily in
Japan. As part of this
9

Table of Contents
transaction, Viatris acquired exclusive development and commercialization rights in Japan for pitolisant, a selective/inverse agonist of the
histamine H3 receptor. One indication is for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness or cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy and the
second is for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The Japanese NDAs for both
indications have been submitted to the Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency and are under review by the agency. The transaction
also included exclusive rights in Japan and certain other markets in the Asia-Pacific region for Spydia® Nasal Spray, which was approved in Japan
in June 2025 for the treatment of status epilepticus and launched in December 2025.
These accomplishments reinforce the disciplined execution of Viatris’ continuing strategy and its ability to invest for the future while continuing
to deliver value today.
Enterprise-Wide Strategic Review
In 2025, the Company initiated an enterprise-wide strategic review (“EWSR”) to enable the Company to build a more focused, efficient and
future-ready organization and position the Company for sustained growth beginning in 2026. On February 26, 2026, the Company announced the results of
its EWSR, and as a part of the review, committed to and began implementation of certain restructuring activities. These restructuring activities are expected
to optimize the Company’s commercial capabilities, enabling functions, R&D, medical affairs and regulatory activities, and sourcing, manufacturing and
supply chain activities, including inventory optimization. As a result, the Company expects a global workforce reduction of up to approximately 10%. The
Company anticipates that these restructuring activities, as well as associated costs and savings, will be completed primarily over the next three years.
The Company expects to record charges for costs associated with the restructuring activities of the EWSR. For the committed restructuring
activities, the Company expects to incur total pre-tax charges ranging between $700 million and $850 million. Such charges are expected to include
between $50 million and $100 million of non-cash charges mainly related to accelerated depreciation and asset impairment charges, including inventory
write-offs. The remaining estimated cash costs of between $650 million and $750 million are expected to be primarily related to severance and employee
benefits expense, as well as other costs, including those related to contract terminations, vendor consolidations, product transfer costs and network related
simplification and modernization costs. In addition, management believes the potential savings related to these committed restructuring activities will be
between $600 million and $700 million once fully implemented, with most of these savings expected to improve operating cash flow.
Our Strategic Path Going Forward
As a result of our EWSR, the Company also identified three strategic imperatives that will drive our future and position the Company for
sustainable growth:
•
Drive Our Base Business: By executing successful launches, focusing on supply chain continuity, evolving our generics portfolio over time
towards more profitable, higher-margin products and strengthening our established brands portfolio.
•
Fuel Our Innovative Portfolio: By advancing a pipeline of late-stage and in-market growth assets sourced both internally and externally.
•
Modernize for Sustainable Growth: By strengthening our technology, data and talent capabilities to enable sustained success in a rapidly
evolving healthcare environment.
Expansive Global Reach
Viatris’ strong commercial infrastructure enables the Company to serve patients in almost every corner of the globe through retail and pharmacy
establishments, wholesalers, governments, institutions, physicians and other customers. Viatris provides unique reach through four segments – Developed
Markets, Emerging Markets, JANZ, and Greater China – across more than 165 countries and territories.

Approach to Growth and Innovation
Viatris’ confidence in the delivery of its pipeline is rooted in its strong historic development programs and list of firsts, including the first FDA
approvals of the generic versions of Advair Diskus® (Wixela Inhub®), Restasis®, Symbicort® (Breyna™), and Venofer®. The Company is working on
many other programs, including patent-protected, innovative assets such as selatogrel and cenerimod, 505(b)(2) products such as fast-absorbing meloxicam
for acute pain and low dose estrogen weekly patch for contraception, and on the potential to be first to market for its generics of Abilify Maintena®,
Injectafer®, Ozempic®, and Wegovy™.
While the Company continues to diligently pursue important generics opportunities, it has increasingly focused on limited-competition complex
and novel products targeting gaps in care, all with a first-to-market emphasis and serving Viatris’ mission of patient access. Complex product categories are
critical to patient health and are growing at a rapid pace. The Company’s goal is to enhance its proven scientific capabilities and current global platform,
which allows partners to access Viatris’ infrastructure and many established strengths to reach patients they may not have the resources to reach on their
own, to create a durable and higher-margin portfolio of products. And that means further expanding beyond the Company’s current scope into more
innovative products, including innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets that address areas of significant unmet medical need.

outlooks with respect to, our strategic initiatives and priorities, including divestitures, acquisitions or other potential transactions.”, “If we are unable to
successfully introduce new products in a timely manner, our future revenue and profitability may be adversely affected.” and “We expend a significant
amount of resources on R&D efforts that may not lead to successful product introductions.”

Organization
Upjohn was incorporated in Delaware on February 14, 2019 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer to operate the Upjohn Business. Effective as
of November 16, 2020, Upjohn, Mylan and Pfizer consummated the combination of Mylan with the Upjohn Business through a Reverse Morris Trust
transaction, Viatris became the parent entity of the combined Upjohn Business and Mylan business, and Upjohn changed its name to “Viatris Inc.” As a
result of the Combination, Mylan ceased to exist as a separate legal entity after merging with and into Mylan II B.V., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of Viatris.
The Upjohn Business was a global, primarily off-patent branded and generic established medicines business, which included 20 primarily off-
patent oral solid dose legacy brands, such as Lyrica®, Lipitor®, Celebrex® and Viagra®.
Mylan was founded in 1961 as a privately-owned company and grew over time into one of the largest manufacturers of generic medicines in the
U.S. Mylan became a publicly traded company in 1973. Mylan’s strategy then led to many acquisitions which played a significant role in the evolution of
that company, including Matrix Laboratories Limited (2007);
11

Table of Contents
Merck KGaA’s generic and specialty pharmaceutical business (2007); Abbott Laboratories’ non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics
business (2015) and Meda AB (publ.) (2016). These acquisitions assisted in creating robust research, manufacturing, supply chain and commercial
platforms on a global scale; substantially expanding its portfolio of medicines; diversifying by geography, product type and channel; maintaining its
commitment to quality; and cultivating its global workforce.
Business Model and Operations
At Viatris, we have a relentless focus on delivering access at scale. Our strength is in our diversity. Our business and operating model is
deliberately designed and implemented to deliver on our strategy to provide and sustain access to medicine at scale. We seek to create value for and
together with our key stakeholders – the people who trust our medicines every day, the health systems who rely on us, the people who make up Viatris, our
partners and the investors who believe in our ability to execute on our ambitious mission.
We are convinced that patients and health systems around the world are best served by a healthcare company applying a well-rounded and long-
term approach, maintaining viability while working to manage inherent risks and opportunities and continuously striving to advance sustainable operations
and responsible practices in a focused way. We see healthcare not as it is, but as it should be. We act courageously and believe we are uniquely positioned
to be a source of stability in a world of evolving healthcare needs. Our mission is to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life. We
do so via Access, Leadership and Partnership.
ACCESS
Viatris provides high-quality, trusted medicines, regardless of geography or circumstance. As noted above, access is fundamental to the
Company’s mission. It is not an initiative; it is Viatris’ business model, and it is personal. It begins with Viatris’ ability to sustainably deliver quality
medicines to people, regardless of geography or circumstance. The Company believes it is uniquely positioned to bridge the traditional divide between
generics and brands, combining the best of both to more holistically address healthcare needs globally. Viatris is committed to improving access to high-
quality medicines and maintaining a reliable supply so patients can get the treatments they need, when and where they need them. Viatris is building on its
strong foundation and existing access-driven base business while pursuing increasingly complex generics and novel and innovative products targeting gaps
in care, all with a first-to-market focus to leverage its scientific and development expertise to help further accelerate access. Viatris’ goal is to seek
opportunities to further advance reliable access to medicine through its proven scientific capabilities and extensive global platform.
Viatris sees access as fundamental to empowering people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life—a powerful concept in challenging
times.
As a company, Viatris:
•
Covers a broad range of therapeutic areas. The Company produces medicines for patients across a broad range of major therapeutic areas.
From cardiovascular health to oncology, Viatris offers quality treatment options across more than 10 major therapeutic areas covering a wide
variety of noncommunicable and infectious diseases. It also offers support services such as diagnostic clinics, educational seminars and digital
tools to help patients better manage their health. Viatris continues to seek opportunities in various therapeutic areas that move the Company
forward and leverage the strength of its internal capabilities and global platform.
•
Helps ease the burden of noncommunicable diseases. According to the WHO, NCDs, such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, diabetes, certain
cancers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, are among the leading causes of death globally. NCDs affect people of every age, gender and
socioeconomic status in every corner of the world, and pose a heavy burden on individuals, families and communities. To overcome this global
public health threat, patients worldwide need a partner they can trust – one that not only believes everyone deserves good health, but also has the
portfolio, experience and expertise to make this belief a reality.

•
Helps hearts stay healthier. According to the WHO, coronary heart disease is the number one cause of death globally. With its acquisition of
selatogrel and licensing agreement for sotagliflozin, Viatris is continuing to build on its strong presence in cardiovascular disease. Viatris
collaborates with many organizations to help prevent, diagnose, and treat cardiovascular illnesses. Its deep experience in emerging and developed
markets affords a tried-and-true method of achieving high impact across the patient experience, from awareness to adherence. In close
collaboration with governments, healthcare providers, technology partners and patients, Viatris works to nurture healthcare systems that can adapt
and respond to patients’ ever-changing needs. The Company continues to collaborate with medical associations, patient advocacy groups and
academia to develop innovative, integrated solutions and programs to help strengthen both the delivery and quality of healthcare.
•
Fights infectious disease. Viatris has a long history in the fight against infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and tuberculosis, and
offer an extensive portfolio across these disease states. While many important strides have been made to treat these illnesses, there is still more to
be done. The Company is working with global and local partners to help prevent infections, increase access to diagnosis and treatment, provide
healthcare solutions and work on local manufacturing initiatives with partners to transfer technology to expand access where it is most needed.
With a portfolio that includes pediatric-friendly ARV used to treat HIV-positive infants and HIV self-tests, we are innovating to help patients.
LEADERSHIP
Viatris is working to further advance sustainable operations and innovative solutions to improve patient health and support more resilient
healthcare systems. Viatris is committed to providing steady leadership in a world that is constantly evolving. The Company takes that commitment
seriously and knows that advancing sustainable operations and innovative solutions to improve patient health requires strong global leadership. Viatris
knows what it takes to reach more patients with more products, and believes that it is uniquely positioned to make a difference through its:
•
Powerful global operating platform, which combines what it believes to be best-in-class manufacturing and supply chain capabilities. Viatris has
designed its global operations and supply chain to be a reliable and flexible partner for access across the world, constantly adapting to an ever-
evolving landscape. Viatris owns 27 manufacturing, packaging, and distribution sites worldwide that produce oral solid doses, injectables, and
products with complex dosage forms on five different continents. Together with a global, flexible and diverse supply chain, the Company’s
platform strives to mitigate risks of disruption and ensure supply reliability. Viatris’ responsive global network has helped the Company maintain a
reliable supply of much needed medicines through times of significant volatility. Viatris is committed to advancing responsible and sustainable
operations and work diligently to minimize its environmental footprint across the Viatris network while safeguarding access to medicine.
•
Robust global technical resources, including thousands of scientists, regulatory experts, clinical, medical and product safety professionals
working around the world on innovative therapies and solutions for patients everywhere.
•
Strong global commercial team, including sales team members and marketing professionals whose goal is to ensure that our products reach

PARTNERSHIP
Leveraging its collective expertise to connect people to products and services. Partnerships and collaborations are critical, as are policies and
strong healthcare systems that allow for healthy competitive environments. Viatris has a strong history of playing a leading role by partnering with other
pharmaceutical companies, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, policymakers, trade associations and alliances, industry researchers and patient
advocacy groups to promote sustainable access to treatment, build more resilient healthcare systems and drive these issues within its industry on global,
regional and local levels. Many of the Company’s collaborations focus on access to medicine; public awareness and disease screening; and healthcare
professional education and support.
Building for Growth Through Partnerships
Viatris offers partners ready access to more markets and patients worldwide through the Company’s unique global infrastructure and expertise,
connecting more people with even more products and services they may not have the resources to reach on their own. The Company is actively engaging
with potential business partners to help them accelerate possibilities of using their own healthcare assets to reach more markets and patients by leveraging
Viatris’ unique global platform – its R&D, supply chain, manufacturing, regulatory, commercial and legal expertise. With the global platforms and
infrastructure supporting this approach, the Company is enhancing its capital allocation approach to business development, and its organic and inorganic
R&D investments through a focused governance structure to ensure the highest level of strategic decision-making.
As a result, Viatris periodically enters into commercial licensing and other partner agreements with other pharmaceutical companies for the
development, manufacture, marketing and/or sale of pharmaceutical products. Doing so helps the Company share risks and costs, leverage strengths and
scale up commercialization, but usually requires the Company to also share future profits. The result often is that medicines become available sooner and to
a significantly larger group of patients.
The Company’s significant licensing and other partner agreements are focused on the development, manufacturing, supply and commercialization
of multiple, high-value generic compounds, respiratory products, and other complex or innovative products. Refer to Note 19 Licensing and Other Partner
Agreements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information. As the Company continues to expand its portfolio of more innovative, best-
in-class, patent-protected assets, the Company may enter into more financial commitments in connection with agreements with its collaboration partners
that provide for certain services, as well as cross manufacturing, development and licensing arrangements. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1A
Risk Factors – “We may not realize the intended benefits of, or achieve the intended goals or outlooks with respect to, our strategic initiatives and
priorities, including divestitures, acquisitions or other potential transactions.”
Operations
Viatris has developed an end-to-end experience across the total product life cycle, which includes global regulatory licensing, launch, growth and
post-approval lifecycle management. Our research, development and medical platform seeks to maximize the impact of our existing portfolio by examining
whether there is an opportunity for new indications, label extensions, formulations, and market registrations for our products. We also use our platform to
determine whether there is an opportunity to integrate new products into our portfolio.
The manufacturing of API and finished dosage forms is currently performed by a combination of internal and external manufacturing operations.
After completing the divestiture of its API business in India, Viatris continues to maintain some selective R&D capabilities in API and believes it has
access to adequate API supplies through a manufacturing and supply agreement with the API business buyer and Viatris’ supply agreements with other
manufacturers. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors - “We have a limited number of manufacturing facilities and certain third-party
suppliers produce a substantial portion of our API and products, some of which require a highly exacting and complex manufacturing process.” of this
Form 10-K.
The Company’s significant manufacturing, packaging, warehousing and distribution activities are located primarily in the U.S., Puerto Rico,
Singapore, India, Australia, China, and certain EU countries, including Ireland. In addition, we maintain
14

Table of Contents
administrative facilities around the world. While many of these key facilities are owned, Viatris also leases certain facilities from third parties.
The Company believes all its facilities are in good operating condition, the machinery and equipment are well-maintained, the facilities are
suitable for their intended purposes, and they have capacities adequate for the current operations.
Facilities and records related to our products are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA, the EMA and other regulatory authorities in
jurisdictions where the Company’s products are marketed. In addition, authorities often conduct pre-approval plant inspections to determine whether the
Company’s systems and processes comply with current GMP and other regulations, and clinical-trial reviews to evaluate regulatory compliance and data
integrity. Our suppliers, contract manufacturers, clinical trial partners and other business partners are subject to similar regulations and periodic inspections.
The Company remains committed to maintaining the highest quality manufacturing standards at its facilities around the world and to continuous
assessment and improvement in a time of evolving industry dynamics and regulatory expectations.
Following an inspection by the FDA at our oral finished dose manufacturing facility in Indore, India in 2024, the FDA issued a warning letter and
an import alert related to this facility. The import alert affects 11 products that will no longer be accepted into the U.S. until the warning letter is lifted.
Following the substance of FDA’s original inspection observations, the Company immediately implemented a comprehensive remediation plan at
the site. During 2025, we made substantial progress on our remediation activities at the facility, including but not limited to related personnel actions.
Additionally, we have engaged independent third-party subject matter experts to support the remediation plan.
We have been in regular communication with the FDA during this process and will continue to work to ensure that the FDA is satisfied with the
steps we have taken to resolve all the points raised. Our responses to the warning letter and import alert were submitted within the required time periods.
The facility will be subject to a reinspection by the FDA. The timing of the reinspection will be determined by the FDA; however, we anticipate that the
facility will be ready for reinspection in 2026.
In mid-February 2026, a fire occurred in a service area at the Company's oral solid dose manufacturing facility in Nashik, India. Manufacturing at
the facility has been temporarily suspended and the Company currently expects to resume operations beginning in April 2026. The Company believes it has
certain insurance coverages for losses, including for assets and business interruption. In the event the plant cannot be returned to normal operations or the
Company’s insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate, this event could have a negative impact on our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
We take very seriously our continued and comprehensive oversight of our entire manufacturing network. Patient safety remains our primary and
unwavering focus. We will work closely with our customers to mitigate any possible supply disruptions and meet the needs of the patients we serve.

We serve our customers through a team of highly-skilled sales and marketing professionals, all of whom are focused on establishing Viatris as our
customers’ partner of choice. To best meet customers’ needs, the Company manages its business on a geographic basis.
In addition to being dynamic, the pharmaceutical industry is complex. How it functions, how it is regulated and how it provides patients access
varies by location. Similarly, competition is affected by many factors. Examples of factors include innovation and development, timely approval of
prescription drugs by health authorities, manufacturing capabilities, product quality, marketing effectiveness, portfolio size, customer service, consumer
acceptance, product price, political stability and the availability of funding for healthcare.
Certain parts of our business also are affected by seasonality, e.g., due to the timing and severity of peak cough, cold and flu incidence, which can
cause variability in sales trends for some of our products. While seasonality may affect quarterly comparisons within a fiscal year, it generally is not
material to our annual consolidated results.
For these and other reasons, the Company’s sales and marketing efforts vary accordingly by product, market and channel type, each of which is
described below.
See the Application of Critical Accounting Policies section in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K for more information related to customer
arrangements.
Products
Viatris currently markets branded and generic drugs, including complex drugs.
Branded drugs are typically prescription pharmaceuticals that are sufficiently novel as to be protected by patents or other forms of exclusivity. As
such, these drugs, which bear trade names, may be produced and sold only by those owning the rights, subject to certain challenges that other companies
may make. Developing new medicines can take years and significant investment. Only a few promising therapies ever enter clinical trials. Fewer still are
approved for sale by health authorities, at which point marketing to healthcare providers and consumers begins. Because patents and exclusivities last many
years, they serve as an incentive to developers. During the periods protected, developers often recoup their investments and earn a profit. In many high-
income countries, the brand business often is characterized by higher margins on lower volumes - especially as compared with generic manufacturers.
Viatris has numerous branded drugs, including iconic brands, as well as several global key brands to help patients manage their health. Brand drugs include
branded generics which are off-patent products that are sold under an approved proprietary name for marketing purposes. Brand products often become
branded generics once patent protections or other forms of exclusivity expire. Branded generic products are common in many countries outside the U.S.,
including emerging markets. Brand and branded generic products are more sensitive to promotion than are unbranded generic products. They therefore
represent the primary focus of most of our sales representatives and product-level marketing activity. Our branded drugs also include certain OTC products,
which are sold directly to consumers without a prescription and without reimbursement.
Generic drugs are therapeutically equivalent versions of brand drugs. Generics generally become available once the patents and other exclusivities
on their branded counterparts expire. The generics business is generally characterized by lower margins on higher volumes of a relatively large number of
products. Our generic medicines work in the same way and provide the same clinical benefits as their as their brand-name counterparts and may cost less,
providing patients and the healthcare system important savings and options which we believe are essential to making healthcare accessible. The
manufacturing of generic medicines is held to the same standards of GMP by health authorities as the manufacturing of branded medicines. National health
authorities inspect our facilities around the world to ensure that generic manufacturing, packaging and testing sites pass the same quality standards as those
of brand drugs. Generic products typically are sold under their INNs. INNs facilitate the identification of pharmaceutical substances or API. Each INN is
unique and globally recognized. A nonproprietary name also is known as a generic name.
Complex drugs are medicines that could have a complex active ingredient, complex formulation, complex route of delivery or complex drug
device combinations. Viatris offers a number of these important medicines to patients, including Breyna™ Inhalation Aerosol, the first FDA-approved
generic version of Symbicort®, Wixela Inhub®, the first generic of Advair Diskus®, glatiramer acetate injection, a generic version of Copaxone®, and its
generic iron sucrose injection. Our current complex products are considered generics and are included within our generics revenue category.

As the Company looks to the future, Viatris’ goal is to leverage its proven scientific capabilities to create a durable and higher-margin portfolio of
products, including innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets. While Viatris will continue to diligently pursue important generics opportunities and
invest in the lifecycle management of certain key products in our current portfolio, the Company expects to increasingly focus on limited-competition
complex and novel products targeting areas of significant unmet medical need, all with a first-to-market emphasis and serving our mission of patient
access. The Company believes innovative and complex products categories are critical to patient health and are growing at a rapid pace. The Company is
further enhancing its commercial and scientific capabilities as needed for this future portfolio and intends to increase its R&D investment as well as
inorganically grow via business development.
We also often incur substantial litigation expense as a result of defending or challenging brand patents or exclusivities, which is described further
in Note 20 Litigation included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Market Types
Viatris focuses its sales and marketing efforts on the people who make key decisions around pharmaceutical prescribing, dispensing or buying.
Decision makers vary by country or region, reflecting law and custom, giving rise to different types of pharmaceutical markets. Many countries feature a
mix of or hybrids of various market types, though the Company may focus on just one type in a particular country.
In prescription markets, physicians decide which medicines patients will take. Pharmacies then dispense the products as directed. Drug companies
employ sales forces to educate doctors about the clinical benefits of their products. Representatives call on individual doctors or group practices; the
process is known as detailing. Examples of countries served by Viatris that are mainly prescription markets are the U.S. brand business, China, Turkey,
Poland and Mexico.
In substitution markets, pharmacists generally are authorized (and in some cases required) by law to dispense an unbranded or branded generic, if
available, in place of a brand-name medicine, or vice versa. Drug companies may use sales forces in these markets too, with representatives calling on and
educating pharmacy personnel about their organization and products. Examples of countries served by Viatris that are mainly substitution markets are
France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Japan and Australia.
In tender markets, payers, such as governments or insurance companies, negotiate the lowest price for a drug (or group of drugs) on behalf of their
constituents or members. In exchange, the chosen supplier’s product is placed on the payer’s formulary, or list of covered prescriptions. Often, a supplier’s
drug is the only one available in an entire class of drugs. Large sales forces are not needed to reach these decision-makers. Examples of generic markets
served by Viatris that are mainly tender markets are New Zealand, Sweden, South Africa, as well as Germany.
In distribution markets, retailers and wholesalers make drug-purchasing decisions. Large sales forces are not needed to reach the decision-makers
representing these organizations. Note, however, that pharmacists operating in distribution markets also may be authorized to make substitution decisions
when dispensing medicines. Examples of countries served by Viatris that are mainly distribution markets are the U.S. generics business, the U.K. and
Norway.
The allocation of our sales and marketing resources reflects the characteristics of these different market types.
For OTC products, consumers are the decision-makers. OTC products are commonly sold via retail channels, such as pharmacies, drugstores and
supermarkets. This makes their sale and marketing comparable to other retail businesses, with broad advertising and trade-channel promotion. Consumers
often are loyal to well-known OTC brands. For this reason, suppliers of OTC products, including Viatris, must invest the time and resources needed to
build strong OTC brand names.
Channel Types
Viatris’ products make their way to patients through a variety of intermediaries, or channels.
Pharmaceutical wholesalers/distributors purchase prescription medicines and other medical products directly from manufacturers for storage in
warehouses and distribution centers. The distributors then fill orders placed by healthcare providers and other authorized buyers.
Pharmaceutical retailers purchase products directly from manufacturers or wholesalers/distributors. They then sell them to consumers in
relatively small quantities for personal use.
17

Table of Contents
Institutional pharmacies address the unique needs of hospitals, nursing homes and other such venues. Among the services provided are specialized
packaging, including for injectables and unit-dose products, for controlled administration.
Mail-order and e-commerce pharmacies receive prescriptions by mail, fax, phone or the internet at a central location; process them in large,
mostly automated centers; and mail the drugs to the consumer.
Specialty pharmacies focus on managing the handling and service requirements associated with high-cost and more-complex drug therapies, such
as those used to treat patients with rare or serious diseases.
Business Segments
Viatris has four reportable segments: Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ, and Emerging Markets. The Company reports segment
information on the basis of markets and geography, which reflects its focus on bringing its large and diversified portfolio of branded and generic products,
including complex products, to people in markets everywhere.
Developed Markets
The Developed Markets segment comprises our operations primarily in North America and Europe. The Company’s business in North America is
driven mainly by operations in the U.S., where the Company is one of the largest providers of prescription medicines. The U.S. pharmaceutical industry is
very competitive, and the primary means of competition are innovation and development, timely FDA approval, manufacturing and supply chain
capabilities, formulary placement, product quality, marketing, portfolio size, customer service, reputation and price. Viatris relies on a flexible and cost-
effective supply chain to meet the rapidly changing needs of its customers around a reliable, high-quality supply of pharmaceutical products. Europe, where
many governments provide healthcare at a low direct cost to consumers and regulate pharmaceutical prices or patient reimbursement levels, continues to be
a highly competitive market, especially in terms of pricing, quality standards, service levels and product portfolio. Viatris’ leadership position in a number
of countries provides the Company a platform to fulfill the needs of patients, physicians, pharmacies, customers and payors.
Significant products sold by the Developed Markets segment include Lyrica®, Lipitor®, Creon®, Breyna™, Influvac®, Wixela Inhub®, EpiPen®
Auto-Injector, Fraxiparine®, and Yupelri®.
New product launches are an important growth driver. Important recent launches include iron sucrose injection and octreotide acetate for
injectable suspension in the U.S., and pomalidomide, dapagliflozin, atorvastatin/ezetimibe, rivaroxaban, and ferric carboxymaltose in certain European
markets.
While Viatris’ U.S. customer base is extensive, it comprises a small number of very large firms as the pharmaceutical industry has undergone
tremendous change and consolidation. Viatris believes it is well positioned to serve such customers in the Developed Markets due to the scale it has built in
terms of R&D, supply chain, and portfolio breadth.
Greater China
The Greater China segment includes our operations in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The Viatris Greater China portfolio
predominantly consists of branded LOE products.
In China, the recent healthcare reform measures are aimed at controlling the overall healthcare costs, while providing better and broader care to
the population. Healthcare spending is expected to increase in-line with GDP growth. The VBP policy for LOE molecules is now in its seventh year and
includes approximately 490 molecules. All major Viatris brands are included in the VBP molecule lists. The Company has re-balanced its business to
expand its focus on the retail pharmacy and e-commerce channels while maintaining its presence in the hospital channel. Healthcare consumerism,
increased spending power, and demand for premium medical products have generated strong growth in these new channels and partially absorbed the
reductions seen in the hospital channel due to VBP. Additional pricing and volume pressure for pharmaceutical products sold in the hospital channel is
expected to continue during 2026 and could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1A Risk
Factors - “We have and may continue to experience pressure on the pricing of and reimbursements for certain of our products due to pricing controls,
social or government pressure to lower the cost of drugs, and consolidation across the supply chain.” of this Form 10-K.
Significant products within the Greater China segment include Lipitor®, Norvasc®, and Viagra®.
18

Table of Contents
JANZ
The JANZ segment consists of our operations in Japan, Australia and New Zealand. In Japan, the National Health Insurance regulates the pricing
of pharmaceutical products to healthcare providers. The Company sells products in Japan primarily through a network of wholesalers who then sell the
products to doctors, hospitals and pharmacies. In addition, the Company is working on its innovative pipeline assets such as EFFEXOR® for generalized
anxiety disorder, Nefecon for immunoglobulin A nephropathy, and pitolisant, a selective/inverse agonist of the histamine H3 receptor (with one indication
for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness or cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy and another indication for the treatment of excessive
daytime sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome).
In Australia, the healthcare system is a mix of public and private healthcare sectors, with Medicare, Australia’s public healthcare system, covering
most of the country’s medical costs. The Department of Health oversees healthcare governance, law, and policy while the various state and territory
governments administer the system. Most prescription pharmaceutical products are subsidized under the pharmaceutical benefits scheme by the federal
government. Pricing of reimbursed pharmaceutical products is regulated by the government and funded via the Medicare levy and through company and
patient contributions. The Company sells products primarily through the wholesale system, while promoting its products to both physicians and
pharmacists.
Important recent launches include Spydia® Nasal Spray in Japan.
Significant products within the JANZ segment include AMITIZA®, EFFEXOR®, Lipacreon®, Lyrica®, and EpiPen® Auto-Injector.
Emerging Markets
The Emerging Markets segment encompasses our presence in more than 125 countries with developing markets and emerging economies
including in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East as well as the Company’s ARV franchise. With healthcare at various stages
of development across these markets, we believe we are positioned to not only leverage our large geographical footprint to maximize the similarities
between these markets, but also tailor solutions to meet local needs. There is demand in this segment for better healthcare to serve a growing population
and economic expansion. Many countries in this segment are brand-conscious with generic penetration rates lower than developed markets.
Important recent launches include sotagliflozin in the United Arab Emirates in January 2026.
Among Viatris products sold in the segment are Lipitor®, Lyrica®, Norvasc®, Celebrex®, and ARV products.
Refer to Note 16 Segment Information included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information about the Company’s segments.
Government Regulation
Regulation by governmental authorities is a significant factor in the R&D, production, marketing, sales and distribution of pharmaceuticals.
Viatris’ products are subject to robust developmental studies which include analytical determinations of strength, quality, purity as well as rigorous safety
and efficacy determinations using preclinical, pharmacokinetic studies and clinical evaluations to gather data to support regulatory review and approval.
This body of work results in extensive data and scientific information that is incorporated into a given product’s regulatory dossier. Manufacturing is
conducted under exacting conditions governed by extensive regulation including strict in-process and finished pharmaceutical products specifications and
controls. Post-approval activities, such as advertising and promotion, pharmacovigilance, post-marketing regulatory commitments, and pharmacopeial
monographs, are also subject to extensive regulation and controls.
The lengthy process of developing products and obtaining required approvals and the continuing need for post-approval compliance with
applicable statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial resources. Regulatory approval, if and when obtained, may be limited in scope.
Further, approved drugs, as well as their manufacturers, are subject to ongoing post-marketing review and inspection, which can lead to the discovery of
previously unknown attributes of the products or the manufacturing or quality control procedures used in their production, which may impact the marketing
of the products or result in restrictions on their manufacture, sale or use or in their withdrawal from the market.

Any failure or delay by Viatris, its suppliers of manufactured drug product, collaborators or licensees, in obtaining and maintaining regulatory
approvals could adversely affect the marketing of our products and our ability to receive product revenue, license revenue or profit-sharing payments.
Other Regulatory Requirements
Viatris’ business is subject to a wide range of various other federal, state, national, regional, provincial, non-governmental, and local agency rules
and regulations. They focus on fraud and corruption, pricing and reimbursement, data privacy, and the environment, among many other considerations. For
more information about certain of these regulations and the associated risks the Company faces, see Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of this Form 10-K.
Research and Development
We believe Viatris has a broad and differentiated global R&D platform that includes deep capabilities in clinical, medical and regulatory, and
through our technology platforms, that enables the Company to bring hard to develop products to approval in global markets.
Viatris’ research, development and clinical platform, which includes regulatory activities, seeks to deliver new product opportunities across all of
the Company’s categories and markets and to evaluate opportunities to expand the scope of our existing product portfolio with a focus on development
activities. The Company’s product pipeline includes a variety of dosage forms, including oral solid dosage forms, transdermals, injectables, inhalation, and
other delivery systems, as well as drug delivery devices. While committed to generics and specialty products, over the last several years, a greater portion
of the Company’s investments has been focused on complex or difficult-to-formulate products, including modified release or complex injectables such as
iron sucrose injection and glucagon, rather than commodity products such as conventional oral solid dosage forms. The Company is working on a number
of programs including patent-protected, innovative assets such as selatogrel and cenerimod, and on the potential to be first-to-market for our generics of
Abilify Maintena®, Injectafer®, Ozempic®, and Wegovy™.
As previously mentioned, one of the Company’s strategic pillars is our focus on expanding our innovative portfolio to identify, vet and secure
best-in-class, patented-protected assets that address areas of significant unmet medical need. Viatris invests a significant amount of capital and resources in
R&D, and this investment is likely to continue or potentially increase as we focus on more complex and innovative products to drive accelerated and
durable growth, and build a more durable higher margin portfolio with exclusivity opportunities. In addition to increasing its R&D and IPR&D investment,
the Company also expects to inorganically grow via business development through strategic alliances with partners. For additional information, see Part I,
Item 1A Risk Factors - “We expend a significant amount of resources on R&D efforts that may not lead to successful product introductions.” of this Form
10-K.
Intellectual Property
Viatris considers the protection of its intellectual property rights to be extremely valuable, and the Company acts to protect them from
infringement by third parties.
Viatris has an extensive trademark portfolio totaling approximately 27,000 active trademarks filed globally and routinely apply to register key
brand names, generic names, branded generic names, and trade names in numerous countries around the world. The Company’s registered trademarks are
renewable indefinitely, and are maintained in accordance with the laws of the countries in which they are registered.
The Company also has an extensive patent portfolio and actively files for patent protection in various countries to protect its brand-name, generic,
branded generic, and OTC products, including processes for making and using them, as well as to protect its drug-delivery technologies. The Company has
more than 1,400 patents filed globally. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors - “We rely on the effectiveness of our patents,
trademarks, confidentiality agreements and other measures to protect our intellectual property rights.” of this Form 10-K.
Further, Viatris has well-established safeguards in place to protect our proprietary know-how and trade secrets, both of which the Company
considers extremely valuable to its intellectual property portfolio.
The Company looks for intellectual property licensing opportunities to or from third parties, related not only to our existing products, but as a
means for expanding our product portfolio.

Viatris relies on the aforementioned types of intellectual property, as well as our copyrights, trade dress, regulatory exclusivities and contractual
protections, to establish a broad scope of intellectual property rights for our product portfolio.
Sustainability
To learn about Viatris’ sustainability work, the Company encourages you to read Viatris’ 2024 Sustainability Report: Building Sustainable Access
at Scale , published in May 2025. The report highlights Viatris’ actions and initiatives across multiple areas of focus in support of the Company’s efforts to
continue to be a model for sustainable access to medicine and to make an impact in the communities it serves. It also reports on how the Company
progressed in 2024 on its companywide sustainability goals in the areas of: access and global health; workplace culture; and environment (climate, water,
and waste).
Viatris’ recent accolades include inclusion on TIME’s inaugural list of World’s Most Sustainable Companies, USA Today’s list of America’s
Climate Leaders, Forbes’ World’s Best Employers, and TIME’s World’s Top Companies for Women.
The following highlights Viatris’ systematic efforts and progress across key areas:
Access and Global Health
Access is fundamental to Viatris’ mission. It begins with the Company’s ability to sustainably deliver quality medicines to people, regardless of
geography or circumstance.
The Company is focused on striving to meet individual needs, whether with a generic medicine, a trusted brand, an improved version of an
existing medicine, or a truly novel therapeutic solution.
Viatris goes beyond developing, manufacturing, and distributing quality medicines. With the needs of people at the center, Viatris often works to
help find solutions that support resilient healthcare systems. The Company has designed its global operations and supply chain to be a reliable and flexible
partner for access across the world, constantly adapting to an ever-evolving landscape.
Viatris pursues holistic approaches to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and disease management. The Company works to build public health
awareness, to support and implement research, to deliver access to health education, and to advocate for public policies that advance sustainable access at
scale, globally.
Partnerships and collaborations are essential for meaningful and lasting impact, as are policies and strong healthcare systems and markets that
allow for healthy competitive environments. While needs are global, circumstances are local, and Viatris works with an array of organizations -
internationally, regionally and locally, public and private - to support sustainable access to medicines at consistent quality standards. We work to connect
more people with even more products and services to advance access and health. Ultimately, we know we are stronger together, working collaboratively
and relentlessly across our company and with the broader global community, in pursuit of access.
Environmental Stewardship
We are committed to minimizing our impact on the environment while working to safeguard a reliable supply of medicine. Our commitment
entails systematic and continuous work, and a global integrated approach to managing our impact on and from climate change, energy efficiency and
renewable energy, water and waste reduction, and air emissions.
Key actions taken by the Company include increasing renewable energy usage, implementing energy-efficiency projects, preventing refrigerant
leaks and transitioning to greener refrigerants, using alternative fuels and technologies, and leveraging infrastructure upgrades and utility replacement
projects. While it is very hard to predict accurately the future costs associated with compliance with environmental laws, this is not expected to require
significant capital expenditures and has not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect on our operations or competitive position.
Viatris remains engaged in promoting environmentally responsible and sustainable supply chains, including through the Company’s compliance
with the AMR Industry Alliance’s Common Antibiotic Manufacturing Standard in its operations

and its commitment to the standard’s implementation across Viatris’ external supply chain. Furthermore, Viatris is leveraging its membership in the
Pharmaceutical Supply Chains Initiative in external supplier sustainability engagement.
Community Engagement
Viatris seeks to foster healthy communities around the world by supporting education and health and disease awareness efforts that, in particular,
help empower patients, promote access to care, and further community infrastructure and environmental protection – all part of building healthier and more
resilient communities. Whether through in-kind and monetary donations, volunteering time and talents, or engaging with partners to find solutions, the
Company works to address common global challenges and leverages Viatris colleagues’ collective capabilities while addressing unique local needs.
Viatris has continued its humanitarian support towards emergency response to assist victims of armed conflicts, disasters and extreme weather.
Together with long-term partners including but not limited to, Direct Relief, AmeriCares, Save the Children, SBP, World Central Kitchen, and the
American Red Cross, the Company has supported medical relief shipments, access to food and long-term rebuilding efforts. Furthermore, Viatris
colleagues across the globe have supported local care facilities, community cleanups, fundraisers, and participated in volunteer opportunities to raise money
and awareness for patients living with diseases as a part of a larger global initiative - Building Healthier Communities.
Business partnerships, collaboration within and across sectors, memberships, and philanthropic collaborations help us serve patients, healthcare
systems and communities worldwide.

We have expanded our professional development opportunities, including a focus on executive and management development, and we have
continued to build core programming to support colleagues at all stages of life and career. Viatris has successfully introduced new and differentiated core
capabilities to enhance our performance and growth aligned with the Company’s strategy moving forward. We believe we have a deep talent bench of core
generics and expanding innovative capabilities to help drive our future forward. Through regular annual objective setting and talent assessment practices,
the Company believes it provides tools and resources that enable high performance.

Viatris has suffered and in the future could suffer additional losses due to impairment charges.
Strategic Risks
We may not realize the intended benefits of, or achieve the intended goals or outlooks with respect to, our strategic initiatives and priorities, including
our enterprise-wide strategic review and other potential corporate transactions.
As a result of the EWSR initiated in 2025, the Company has identified three strategic imperatives that will drive our future and position the
Company for sustainable growth by (i) driving our base business through executing successful launches, focusing on supply chain continuity, evolving our
generics portfolio over time towards more profitable, higher-margin products and strengthening our established brands portfolio (ii) fueling our innovative
portfolio through advancing a pipeline of late-stage and in-market growth assets sourced both internally and externally; and (iii) modernizing for
sustainable growth through strengthening our technology, data and talent capabilities to enable sustained success in a rapidly evolving healthcare
environment.
As the Company looks to drive its base business by executing successful launches, evolving its generics portfolio over time towards more
profitable, higher margin products, strengthening its established brands portfolio, and advancing its portfolio of late-stage and in-market growth assets
sourced both internally and externally, it expects to use more capital resources and has entered into, and may in the future enter into, financial commitments
in connection with acquisitions, alliances and collaborations, such as, our acquisition of the development programs for selatogrel and cenerimod, which are
currently in Phase 3 development and our acquisition of Aculys Pharma, including exclusive rights to pitolisant in Japan and Spydia® in Japan and certain
other markets in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, we have in the past and may in the future enter into (i) strategic alliances with partners to develop,
manufacture, market and/or distribute certain products, and/or certain components of our products, in various markets and (ii) agreements with our
collaboration partners that provide for certain services, as well as cross manufacturing, development and licensing arrangements. We commit substantial
efforts and other resources to these various alliances and collaborations There is a risk that the investments made by us in these and other alliances and
collaborative arrangements will not generate financial returns. In addition, our collaboration partners’ financial situation, or disputes or conflicting
priorities and regulatory or legal intervention has been or could in the future be a source of delay or uncertainty as to the expected benefits of our strategic
alliances and collaborations.
Implementing our strategic initiatives and priorities has been and may in the future be material both from a strategic and financial perspective. Our
strategic initiatives and priorities have been, and may continue to be, complex, time-consuming or expensive, may divert management’s and employees’
attention, and expose us to operational ineffectiveness. We may miscalculate the risks associated with our strategic initiatives and priorities at the time they
are made or not have the resources or ability to access all the relevant information to evaluate them properly, including with regard to the potential of R&D
pipelines, manufacturing issues, compliance issues, supply chain continuity, technology, data capabilities, or the outcome of ongoing legal and other
proceedings. Innovative and patent protected assets are difficult, costly and time-consuming to develop, receive regulatory approval for and bring to
market. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve all of our intended goals or outlooks with respect to such strategies and priorities within
the anticipated timeframes or at all, fully realize the expected benefits of any such transactions or arrangements, or successfully manage base business
erosion or grow in future periods.
The overall execution of our strategic initiatives and priorities may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive
responses, operational inefficiencies, adverse tax consequences, impairment or restructuring charges, loss of customer relationships, difficulty attracting
and retaining qualified employees, and diversion of management’s and/or employee’s attention, among other potential adverse consequences. In addition,
we may have to terminate a strategic alliance, agreement or arrangement, or our partners may be unable to fulfill their operational or other obligations due
to their financial condition or otherwise.
Any of the risks described above could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Viatris’ restructuring activities may not achieve their intended goals and may present significant challenges, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
25

Table of Contents
As a result of the EWSR initiated in 2025, Viatris has announced related cost-saving and restructuring activities designed to deliver meaningful
cost savings primarily over a three year period expected to optimize its commercial capabilities, enabling functions, its R&D, medical and regulatory
activities, and its sourcing, manufacturing and supply chain, including inventory optimization. Implementing these restructuring activities, including
anticipated headcount reductions of up to approximately 10% and an anticipated facility closure, could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in,
the activities of one or more of Viatris’ businesses, difficulty retaining existing employees, or require Viatris’ senior management to devote considerable
amounts of time to these processes, which would decrease the time they have to manage and service Viatris’ existing businesses, and develop new products
or strategies. In addition, the restructuring activities could result in total costs and expenses that are greater than anticipated, asset impairments, and
reductions to the size or scope of our business, our results of operations, including but not limited to total revenues, and cash flows, our market share in
particular markets or our opportunities and ability to compete with respect to certain markets, therapeutic areas or products. Even if the restructuring
activities and related initiatives are successful, we may not achieve anticipated cost savings, opportunities for reinvestment, growth opportunities and other
financial and operating benefits within the timeline we anticipate, or at all.
If our restructuring activities are unsuccessful, if the estimated costs are higher than anticipated, or if we are unable to realize the anticipated cost
savings and other benefits, there could be a material adverse effect on Viatris’ business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay
dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
There are risks and uncertainties associated with divestitures, product rationalizations and asset sales, one or more of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Viatris has completed or is in the process of completing divestitures, product rationalizations and asset sales, and expects to initiate additional
divestitures, product rationalizations and asset sales in the future. Such actions have resulted and could in the future result in asset impairments, as well as
reductions to the size or scope of our business, our results of operations (including but not limited to total revenues and cash flows), our market share in
particular markets, or our opportunities and ability to compete with respect to certain markets, therapeutic areas or products. We may not be successful in
separating divested businesses or assets, which could negatively impact our ongoing operations, future earnings and future goals and outlooks.
In recent years, the Company has completed several divestitures, including the Biocon Biologics Transaction, the OTC Transaction, the divestiture
of our API and women’s healthcare businesses and other divestitures. These divestitures have resulted and may in the future result in continued financial
and operational exposure to the divested assets or businesses, such as through guarantees or other financial arrangements, indemnification, continued
supply and distribution arrangements, transition services obligations to the divested businesses, stranded costs, or potential litigation.
Because the businesses or assets we have divested were commingled with Viatris’ other businesses, their financial information must be carved-out
of Viatris’ financial and other systems, and this process has increased or will continue to increase the risk of errors in the presentation of our financial
results in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In addition, we may also face other challenges as a result of divestitures, including maintaining employee morale
and retaining key management.
With respect to the Biocon Biologics Transaction, in December 2025, Viatris entered into definitive agreements with Biocon for the sale of Viatris’
equity stake in Biocon Biologics for total consideration of $815 million, consisting of $400 million in cash and $415 million in newly issued equity shares
of Biocon. The shares are subject to a six-month lock-up period. While the shares are listed and traded on the National Stock Exchange of India, the value
of the shares remains subject to market fluctuations and there is no guarantee that Viatris will be able to sell the shares for any particular price.
Any of the risks described above could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability
to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price. Refer to Note 5 Divestitures included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information
about our divestitures.
The integration of acquired businesses has presented and may in the future present significant challenges, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
The combination of two or more independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process and there is a significant degree of
difficulty inherent in the integration process. These difficulties may include:
•
diversion of management’s and employees’ attention from the ongoing operations of Viatris to integration and restructuring matters;
•
the challenge of integrating the employees and business cultures;
•
retaining existing customers and suppliers, or obtaining new customers and suppliers;
•
risks associated with managing a larger and more complex company;
26

Table of Contents
•
loss of institutional knowledge or lack of access to IT systems and historical data, including clinical or trial data;
•
the challenge and cost of integrating manufacturing, logistics, IT, communications and other systems;
•
the potential difficulty transitioning acquired assets to the Company and retaining key personnel and other employees;
•
challenges in reducing reliance on transition services, including difficulties in hiring employees or finding suitable replacements, prior to the
expiration of any period in which such services are provided; and
•
reducing costs associated with transition services, including managing the amount for replacement costs.
The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of Viatris’ businesses.
In addition, integration activities have in the past and may in the future require Viatris’ senior management to devote considerable amounts of time to these
activities, which has in the past and could in the future decrease the time they have to manage and service Viatris’ existing businesses, and develop new
products or strategies. Even if integration activities are successful, we may not achieve anticipated synergies, growth opportunities and other financial and
operating benefits within the timeline we anticipate, or at all.
If integration activities are unsuccessful, if the estimated costs are higher than anticipated, or if we are unable to realize the anticipated synergies
and other benefits, there could be a material adverse effect on Viatris’ business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay
dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
The imposition of tariffs on, or other trade restrictions or domestic sourcing requirements in, the territories and countries where we, our partners,
suppliers, or customers do business, as well as any retaliatory actions with respect to such actions, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
The U.S. has imposed or is considering imposing tariffs on certain imports from other countries, including pharmaceutical products, ingredients
and inputs, which could significantly impact our cost of doing business. The imposition of adopted, new, announced or proposed tariffs, trade restrictions or
domestic sourcing requirements on pharmaceutical imports, including but not limited to products, ingredients, and inputs (such as API), could result in
increased costs of goods and prices, disruptions to our supply chain, manufacturing delays, supply shortages, and adverse impacts to clinical trials. These
measures could also result in decreased profit margins on certain of our products. Decreased or negative profit margins have in the past, and could in the
future, make the production of certain of our products unsustainable, thereby reducing our net sales as well as access for patients.
In addition, we may be restricted in our ability to adapt, or may be unable or unsuccessful in adapting, to these impacts and challenges due to,
among other things, the terms of our current customer, supply or distribution agreements, or the need to obtain regulatory approval prior to making any
changes to our manufacturing locations, processes or suppliers. Existing, announced, and future tariffs, trade agreements, or domestic sourcing
requirements, as well as potential exemptions, could also provide our competitors with an advantage to the extent such future impacts disproportionately
affect us compared with them.
The impact of any adopted, announced, new or proposed tariffs, trade restrictions or domestic sourcing requirements on our business continues to
be subject to a number of factors that we cannot predict, including, but not limited to, the scope, nature, amount, effective date and duration of any such
measures. Furthermore, general uncertainty related to adopted, new or potential tariffs, trade restrictions and domestic sourcing requirements has in the past
reduced and could in the future further reduce global economic activity, thereby resulting in additional adverse impacts to us.

We have and may continue to experience pressure on the pricing of and reimbursements for certain of our products due to pricing controls, social or
government pressure to lower the cost of drugs, and consolidation across the supply chain.
We operate in a challenging environment, with significant pressures on the pricing of our products and on our ability to obtain and maintain
satisfactory rates of reimbursement for our products by governments, insurers and other payors. We face numerous cost-containment measures by
governments and other payors, including certain government-imposed industry-wide price reductions, caps on price increases, mandatory rebates or
pricing, international reference pricing (i.e., the practice of a country linking its regulated medicine prices to those of other countries), VBP, tender systems,
shifting of the payment burden to patients through higher co-payments, and requirements for increased transparency on pricing, all of which may have an
adverse impact on the pricing of our products. In addition, rates of inflation have increased and may continue to increase pressure on governments, insurers
and other payors to implement additional cost containment measures. There is no guarantee that these cost containment measures will be rolled back in the
event that inflation rates decrease in the future. Recent actions by the Administration to establish most-favored-nation drug pricing pilot programs and its
entrance into most-favored-nation drug pricing agreements with our competitors, could negatively impact the financial performance of innovative pipeline
products and impact the business development environment.

Many markets in which we operate have implemented or may implement tender systems for generic pharmaceuticals in an effort to lower prices.
Under such tender systems, manufacturers submit bids which establish prices for generic pharmaceutical products. Upon winning the tender, the winning
company will receive a preferential reimbursement for a period of time. If our bids do not win, we may not be able to participate in the given market or
may lose out on market share. While criteria other than price can be included in tenders, tender systems often select the lowest bid, which often results in
companies underbidding one another by proposing low pricing in order to win the tender. Other markets may also consider the implementation of a tender
system, and even if a tender system or other price controls are ultimately not implemented, the anticipation of such could result in price reductions.
In the EU, U.K. and some other international markets, the government provides healthcare at low cost to consumers and regulates pharmaceutical
prices, patient eligibility and/or reimbursement levels to control costs for the government-sponsored healthcare system. These systems of price regulations
may lead to inconsistent and lower prices. The availability of our products in some markets at lower prices undermines our sales in other markets with
higher prices. Additionally, certain countries set prices by reference to the prices in other countries where our products are marketed. Thus, our inability to
secure adequate prices in a particular country may also impair our ability to obtain acceptable prices in existing and potential new markets and may create
the opportunity for third party cross-border trade. In addition to the impacts of these government-sponsored healthcare systems, in the EU, U.K. and other
international markets, certain governmental agencies have enacted, or are considering enacting, further measures to decrease the costs of providing
healthcare, including government mandated price reductions and/or other forms of price controls, including retrospective “clawback” price reductions.
In China, pricing pressures have increased in recent years, and the Chinese government has also increased its focus on patient access and
reimbursement for pharmaceutical medicines. For example, in 2013, China began to implement a QCE process for post-LOE products to improve the
quality of domestically manufactured generic drugs, primarily by requiring such drugs to pass a test to assess their bioequivalence to a qualified reference
drug (typically the originator drug). Effective January 1, 2024, China implemented measures that aim to further improve quality management of drugs,
including, among other things, stipulating additional responsibilities of marketing authorization holders and medical institutions to have a robust quality
management system with respect to drug purchase, storage and use. In addition, since 2018, China's National Healthcare Security Administration, in
conjunction with relevant departments, has been promoting a centralized VBP policy for drugs, which has become standard practice and subjects many
drugs to a competitive bidding process. Molecules subject to the VBP bidding process have seen significant price cuts, with some bidders reducing the
price of their products by as much as 96% as they attempt to secure volumes on the Chinese pharmaceutical market. We expect pricing pressures on our
products included in the VBP bidding process to continue to increase as a result of this policy. We have failed, and may continue to fail, to win bids due to
various factors, including uncompetitive bidding prices. In addition, the URP policy will cap reimbursement of molecules at their VBP tender winning
price. URP will create additional pricing and volume pressure for pharmaceutical products that are subject to the program and is expected to negatively
impact our results of operations.
Demand for our products also depends in part on the extent to which reimbursements are available. In the U.S., third-party payors increasingly
challenge the pricing of pharmaceutical products. These trends and other trends toward managed healthcare, the vertical consolidation among insurers,
PBMs and pharmacies, and legislative healthcare reform create significant uncertainties regarding the future levels of payment, price or reimbursement for
pharmaceutical products. Further, any payment, price or reimbursement may be reduced in the future to the point that market demand for our products
and/or our profitability declines. Changes to Medicare and/or state Medicaid programs, or changes required in the way in which Medicare payment rates
are set, the design of the Medicare Part D and Part B benefits, and/or the way Medicare or Medicaid rebates are calculated, could adversely affect the
payment we receive for our products. In order to control expenditures on pharmaceuticals, most member states in the EU regulate the pricing of products
and, in some cases, limit the range of different forms of pharmaceuticals available for prescription by national health services. These controls can result in
considerable price differences between member states.
There has also been increasing U.S. federal and state legislative and enforcement interest with respect to drug pricing, as well as from international
organizations like the United Nations, WHO and OECD, in addition to intense publicity and scrutiny regarding such matters, including publicity and
pressure resulting from prices charged by competitors and peer companies for new products as well as price increases by competitors and peer companies
on older products that some have deemed excessive.
In addition, there have been executive orders, legislation, and legislative and regulatory proposals, including in connection with government
programs such as Medicare, concerning drug prices and related issues, including the perceived need to bring more transparency to drug pricing, reviewing
the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reforming government program reimbursement methodologies for drugs. Some
states have also signed into law programs that compel manufacturers to provide certain medicines at free or reduced costs to certain patients, and additional
states are exploring such programs. Although we continue to expect to see focus on regulating pricing, we cannot predict what, if any,
28

Table of Contents
additional changes in legislative or regulatory priorities and personnel may transpire at the state or federal level, or what the ultimate impact may be.
In the U.S., certain of these pressures are further compounded by increasing consolidation among wholesalers, retailer drug chains, PBMs, private
insurers, managed care organizations and other private payors, which can increase their negotiating power. Please also refer to “A significant portion of our
revenues is derived from sales to a limited number of customers.”
The numerous cost-containment measures by governments and other payors, failing to win tenders, the implementation of price control systems,
adverse legislation and regulation, the consolidation of our customers, or continued social or government pressure to lower the cost of pharmaceutical
products could have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or
repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Healthcare reform legislation could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In recent years, there have been numerous initiatives on the federal and state levels for comprehensive reforms affecting the payment for, the
availability of and reimbursement for, healthcare services in the U.S., and it is likely that Congress, the Administration, and state legislatures and health
agencies will continue to focus on healthcare reform in the future.
In 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was enacted, which includes numerous Medicare reforms that will affect reimbursement for certain
pharmaceuticals covered by Medicare and modify the Part D and Part B program structure, including shifting the liability for certain prescription drug costs
shared between Medicare, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and Part D plans. These reforms include government price negotiation for certain high-spend,
single-source Medicare drugs, out-of-pocket caps for Medicare beneficiaries using insulin products, and the application of inflation-based rebates for
certain Medicare drugs. The implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, including the drug price negotiation provision, inflation penalties, and Part D
redesign is currently underway and could negatively affect certain Viatris portfolio products based on future pricing decisions, changes in the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), and the potential for shifting payor preferences based on the Part D redesign and requirements to cover
drugs selected for negotiation.
We are unable to predict the future course of federal or state healthcare legislation in the U.S. or reform or the outcome of challenges to such laws
or reforms once passed. For example, changes to or reductions in subsidies of individual insurance plans on the healthcare exchanges in 2026 have led to a
reduction in the number of individuals with health insurance in the U.S., which could lead to correlating reductions in spending on pharmaceuticals and
increased reliance on our patient support programs. Instability related to government funding, particularly Congressionally appropriated funds used by the
FDA or user fees, or heightened levels of staff departures at key regulatory agencies, could lead to increased regulatory uncertainty and delayed approvals
for NDAs and ANDAs. Significant additional reforms to the U.S. healthcare system, including changes to the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid, modifications
to the Inflation Reduction Act, or changes to other laws or regulatory frameworks in other markets in which we operate, that reduce our revenues or
increase our costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or
repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
We have significant operations globally, which exposes us to the risks inherent in conducting our business internationally.
Our operations extend to numerous countries globally and therefore are subject to the risks inherent in this geographic scope. These risks include,
but are not limited to:
•
compliance with the national and local laws, regulations and customs of countries in which we do business, including, but not limited to, data
privacy and protection, environmental and social regulations, import/export and enforcement of intellectual property rights;
•
less established legal and regulatory regimes in certain jurisdictions, including China, where the interpretation and enforcement of laws, rules and
regulations may involve uncertainties and can be inconsistent;
•
litigation, administrative and court proceedings may be protracted, expensive and unpredictable;
•
governments in certain jurisdictions may favor local businesses and make it more difficult for foreign businesses to operate on an equal footing,
including but not limited to by promoting or requiring the local manufacture of pharmaceutical products and API or the establishment of local sites
and offices;
•
increased uncertainties related to the enforcement of contracts with certain parties;
•
compliance with a variety of U.S. laws including, but not limited to, trade controls or sanctions, regulations put forth by the U.S. Treasury’s Office
of Foreign Assets Control, the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and rules relating to the use of certain “conflict
minerals” under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and the Consumer Protection Act;
29

Table of Contents
•
sanctions and our interpretation of those sanctions, trade controls, supply chain and staffing challenges as a result of the ongoing conflict between
Russia and Ukraine that have impacted and may continue to impact our ability to market or sell pharmaceuticals in either country or subject us to
increased government scrutiny, and a significant escalation or expansion of the conflict’s current scope may have a negative impact on our
operations and financial results in future periods;
•
instability in the Middle East, especially the conflict in Israel and Gaza, has impacted and may continue to impact our and our partners’ ability to
develop and manufacture products in the region and to transport those products to other markets, and has impacted and may continue to impact the
ability of regulators to conduct required inspections at our or our partners’ manufacturing facilities in the region. The conflict has also impacted
our and our partners’ ability to market or sell pharmaceutical products in the area, and has caused and may continue to cause other disruptions to
the supply chain. A significant escalation or expansion of the conflict’s current scope may have a negative impact on our operations and financial
results in future periods;
•
changes in laws, regulations, and practices that impact the pharmaceutical industry and/or healthcare systems, including but not limited to imports,
exports, manufacturing, quality, cost, pricing, reimbursement, approval, inspection, and delivery of healthcare;
•
changes in policies designed to promote foreign investment, including significant tax incentives, liberalized import and export duties, and
preferential rules on foreign investment and repatriation;
•
differing local product preferences and product requirements;
•
adverse changes in the economies in which we or our partners and suppliers operate as a result of a slowdown in overall growth;
•
government shutdowns or changes in government or economic policies, elections, or financial, political, or social change or instability that affects
the markets or countries in which we or our partners operate;
•
reductions in funding by U.S. governmental agencies for certain products in our Emerging Markets region;
•
changes in employment or labor laws, or wage increases in the countries in which we or our partners and suppliers operate;
•
local, regional and global restrictions on banking and commercial activities in certain markets, especially emerging markets;
•
longer payment cycles and increased exposure to counterparty risk;
•
volatility in international financial markets and increased foreign currency risk;
•
inflation or hyperinflation in certain markets, including Turkey and Egypt;
•
supply disruptions and increases in energy and transportation costs;
•
imposition of adopted, new, announced or proposed tariffs, trade restrictions or domestic sourcing requirements, including but not limited to
products, ingredients, and inputs (such as API) on products sold between the U.S. and other countries as a result of recent trade policy shifts in the
U.S. and other countries;
•
changing or increasing requirements related to the domestic or regional manufacture of pharmaceutical products, or other country of origin
policies, in the U.S., EU, and other jurisdictions globally, including changes in U.S. government procurement laws for pharmaceutical products
related to compliance with the Trade Agreements Act or country of origin policies, changes in U.S. agency procurement policies for
pharmaceutical products manufactured in India or China, or changes in relevant customs, import, and export laws;
•
burdens to comply with multiple, changing and potentially conflicting laws, regulations and disclosure requirements, including those relating to
environmental, social and governance matters, carbon emissions, health and safety, labor and human rights;
•
natural or man-made disasters, including droughts, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires and the impact of climate change in the countries in
which we or our partners and suppliers operate; and
•
local disturbances, the outbreak of highly contagious diseases or other health epidemics or pandemics, terrorist attacks, riots, social disruption,
wars, or regional hostilities in the countries in which we or our partners and suppliers operate and that could affect the economy, our operations
and employees by disrupting operations and communications, making travel and the conduct of our business more difficult, and/or causing our
customers to be concerned about our ability to meet their needs.
We also face the risk that some of our competitors have more experience with operations in such countries or with international operations
generally and may be able to manage unexpected crises more easily. Moreover, the internal political stability of, or the relationship between, any country or
countries where we conduct business operations may deteriorate. Changes in a country’s political stability or the state of relations between any such
countries are difficult to predict and the political or social stability in and/or diplomatic relations between any countries in which we or our partners and
suppliers do business could meaningfully deteriorate.
The occurrence of any one or more of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.

Charges to earnings resulting from acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Under U.S. GAAP provisions relating to business acquisition accounting standards, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in acquired companies generally at their acquisition date fair values and, in each case, separately from goodwill.
Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess amount of consideration transferred, which is also generally measured at fair value, and the
net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. After we complete an acquisition, the following factors could result in material charges and
adversely affect our operating results and may adversely affect our cash flows:
•
costs incurred to combine the operations of companies we acquire, such as transitional employee expenses and employee retention, redeployment
or relocation expenses;
•
liabilities assumed in purchase accounting;
•
impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, including acquired IPR&D;
•
amortization of intangible assets acquired;
•
a reduction in the useful lives of intangible assets acquired;
•
identification of or changes to assumed contingent liabilities, including, but not limited to, litigation reserves, contingent purchase price
consideration including fair value adjustments, income tax contingencies and other non-income tax contingencies, after our final determination of
the amounts for these contingencies or the conclusion of the measurement period (generally up to one year from the acquisition date), whichever
comes first;
•
significant costs to restructure our operations and to reduce our cost structure, including cost related to severance payments, plant shutdowns and
costs to achieve anticipated synergies; and
•
charges to our operating results resulting from expenses incurred to effect the acquisition.
A significant portion of these adjustments could be accounted for as expenses that will decrease our net income and earnings per share for the
periods in which those costs are incurred.
In particular, the amount of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheets is significant as a result of our
acquisitions and other transactions, and may increase further following future potential acquisitions, and we have in the past and may in the future decide to
sell assets that we determine are not critical to our strategy or execution. These and other future events or decisions have in the past and may in the future
lead to significant asset impairments and/or related charges, including a goodwill impairment charge of $2.94 billion in 2025. Certain impairments may
also result from a change in our strategic goals, business direction or other factors relating to the overall business environment. Any such charges could
cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or
stock price.
The illegal distribution and sale by third parties of counterfeit or IP-infringing versions of our products or of diverted or stolen products could have a
negative impact on our reputation and our business.
The pharmaceutical drug supply is vulnerable to illegal counterfeiting and the presence of counterfeit or IP-infringing products in a growing
number of markets, including widespread sales over the internet.
Third parties may illegally manufacture, distribute and/or sell counterfeit or IP-infringing versions of our products that do not meet our rigorous
manufacturing and testing standards. Counterfeit products are frequently unsafe or ineffective and can be potentially life-threatening. Counterfeit medicines
may contain harmful substances, the wrong API, an incorrect dose of API or no API at all, depriving patients of the therapeutic benefit of such medicines.
However, to distributors and users, counterfeit products may be visually indistinguishable from the authentic version.
Reports of adverse reactions to counterfeit or IP-infringing drugs or increased levels of counterfeiting could materially affect patient confidence in
the authentic product. It is possible that adverse events caused by unsafe counterfeit products will mistakenly be attributed to the authentic product. In
addition, unauthorized diversions of products or thefts of inventory at warehouses, plants, or while in-transit could result in improper storage or
compromise product integrity and therefore adversely impact patient safety, our reputation, and our business.
Loss of sales or revenues, as well as public loss of confidence in the integrity of pharmaceutical products as a result of counterfeiting, diversion, or
theft could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or
repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
We face vigorous competition that threatens the commercial acceptance and pricing of our products.
31

Table of Contents
The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. We face competition from other pharmaceutical manufacturers globally, some of whom are
significantly larger than us and have stronger, more well-established reputations than us. Our competitors may be able to develop products and processes
competitive with or superior to our own for many reasons, including but not limited to the possibility that they may have:
•
proprietary processes or delivery systems;
•
larger or more productive R&D and marketing staff;
•
larger or more efficient production capabilities in a particular therapeutic area;
•
more experience in preclinical testing and human clinical trials;
•
more products;
•
more experience in developing new drugs; or
•
greater financial resources.
Many of our products are not protected by patent rights or have limited patent life and will soon lose patent protection. Loss of patent protection
for a product typically is followed promptly with the launch of generic products. As a result, sales of many of these products decline or stop growing over
time, and decline faster than projected once patent protection is lost. In addition, certain products have experienced or may experience generic competition
prior to the expiration of patent terms or associated extensions. For example, we may lose market exclusivity for Amitiza® 24 μg in Japan in June 2026.
We may not be successful in managing competition from non-branded generics or other alternatives, or in generally managing revenues after loss of
exclusivity, and our business may be materially adversely affected.
We also face increasing competition from lower-cost generic products and other branded products. As we focus on developing or acquiring
innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets, competition from manufacturers of generic or biosimilar drugs, including from generic versions of
competitors’ branded products that lose their market exclusivity, has been and will continue to be a major challenge for our patent-protected and branded
products. Generic competitors are also becoming more aggressive in terms of pricing in many of the regions in which Viatris operates. In China, for
example, we face strong competition from certain generic manufacturers, which has resulted and may in the future result in price cuts and volume loss on
some of Viatris’ branded products without patent term and/or regulatory protection. In many emerging markets, we face increased competition and
contracting markets for certain of our ARV products, primarily related to competing therapies. We also face competition in the U.S., the EU and other
mature markets that have a robust generics market and favorable regulatory conditions for generics. In addition, legislative proposals emerge from time to
time in various jurisdictions to further encourage the early and rapid approval of generic drugs. Any such proposal that is enacted into law could increase
competition and worsen this negative effect on our branded sales.
In addition, certain of our products also face potential competition from products that may be developed in the future that could render our
products uncompetitive or obsolete. For example, Viatris or other companies may develop medicines that treat the same indications targeted by our current
products, and these medicines could be more effective than our current products or patients and physicians could prefer these medicines over our current
medicines. The introduction of these new competing products could also have a negative impact on product sales.
Other related factors that could affect our business include:
•
Competitors’ products may be safer, more effective, more effectively marketed or sold, or have lower prices or better performance features than
ours;
•
PBMs and other pharmaceutical manufacturers may utilize contracting strategies that could decrease utilization of or otherwise negatively impact
our products;
•
Vertical integration of pharmacies and large purchasing organizations or consolidation among distribution outlets; and
•
Our sales have suffered and may suffer in the future as a result of changes in consumer demand for our products, including those related to
fluctuations in consumer buying patterns tied to seasonality or other factors, willingness of customers to switch among products of different
pharmaceutical manufacturers, importation by consumers or the introduction of new products by competitors.
The occurrence of any of the above risks could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability
to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
A relatively small group of products may represent a significant portion of our revenues, net sales, gross profit, or net earnings from time to time.
32

Table of Contents
Sales of a limited number of our products from time to time represent a significant portion of our revenues, net sales, gross profit, and net
earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Viatris’ top ten products in terms of sales, in the aggregate, represented approximately 36%
and 33%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales. If the volume or pricing of our largest selling products declines in the future, our business, financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price could be materially adversely affected.
Operational Risks
Current and changing economic conditions, including inflation, may adversely affect our industry, business, partners and suppliers.
The global economy continues to experience significant volatility, and the economic environment may become less favorable. For example, if the
U.S. or another country defaults on its debt, or takes measures to avoid such a default, or if there is an assumption that such an event may occur, this could
have a negative impact on general economic conditions, including the liquidity of and access to the capital markets. A sovereign debt default, economic
volatility, governmental financial restructuring efforts and evolving deficit and spending reduction programs could negatively impact the global economy
and the pharmaceutical industry. This has led, or could lead, to reduced consumer and customer spending, reduced or eliminated governmental or third-
party payor coverage or reimbursement or reduced spending on healthcare, including but not limited to pharmaceutical products. While generic drugs
present an alternative to higher-priced branded products, our sales could be negatively impacted if patients forego obtaining healthcare, patients and
customers reduce spending or purchases, or if governments or third-party payors reduce or eliminate coverage or reimbursement amounts for
pharmaceuticals or impose price or other controls adversely impacting the price or availability of pharmaceuticals (whether for generics, branded products
or both). Reduced consumer and customer spending, reduced government or third-party payor coverage or reimbursement, or new government controls,
may drive us and our competitors to decrease prices, may reduce the ability of customers to pay, or may result in reduced demand for our products.
In addition, higher rates of inflation have resulted, and may continue to result, in increased costs of labor, raw materials, other supplies and freight
and distribution costs, among others. While inflationary and other macroeconomic pressures have somewhat eased more recently, we do not expect to see a
corresponding reduction in these higher costs and expect such higher costs to negatively impact our results of operations. For the pharmaceutical industry
and the healthcare systems in the markets in which we participate, regulatory restrictions and the pricing dynamics of our products generally make it
difficult to pass on such costs to customers. Inflation has also resulted and may continue to result in higher interest rates and increased costs of capital. In
particular, high levels of inflation and rising energy costs have in the past, and may in the future, result in significant economic volatility. These
macroeconomic pressures combined with the volatility in foreign exchange rates, including the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the other currencies
in which we operate, has in the past and may in the future, negatively impact our results of operations.
The occurrence of any of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our industry, business, financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Failure to comply with applicable environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations worldwide could adversely impact our
business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
We are subject globally to various laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the environment, climate change, water, waste, chemicals
and employee health and safety. These requirements include regulation of the handling, manufacture, transportation, storage, use and disposal of materials
and wastes, including the discharge of regulated materials and emissions into the environment. We are also subject to related permitting, record-keeping,
reporting and registration requirements. In the normal course of our business, we are exposed to risks relating to possible releases of hazardous substances
into the environment, which could cause environmental or property damage or personal injuries, and which could result in (i) our noncompliance with such
environmental and occupational health and safety laws, regulations and permits and (ii) regulatory enforcement actions or claims for personal injury and
property damage against us. If environmental discharge occurs, or to the extent we discover contamination caused by third parties, including by prior
owners and operators of properties we acquire or lease, or by neighboring properties or other offsite sources, we could be liable for cleanup or remediation
obligations, damages and fines or have relevant permits, authorizations or registrations modified or revoked, regardless of our responsibility for such
contamination.
Our manufacturing operations involve handling chemicals, pressurized systems, and complex equipment and electrical systems, which expose us
to inherent health and safety risks. These include accidents, fires, explosions, chemical spills, and employee exposure to hazardous substances. Such
incidents have in the past and could in the future result in serious injury, property damage, regulatory investigations, or significant operational disruptions.
We have implemented systems and procedures across our facilities designed to prevent, prepare for and respond to such incidents. However, if our systems,
33

Table of Contents
procedures or other risk management efforts are not effective, our facilities may be adversely affected, and operations would experience significant impact
or disruption.
In addition, any non-compliance with environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations and permits, or emissions into the
environment, whether actual or perceived, may result in significant reputational damage. The substantial unexpected costs we may incur could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock
price. Environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations are also complex and subject to change, and our related capital expenditures
and costs for compliance may increase substantially in the future as a result of such changes, the development and manufacturing of a new product or
increased development or manufacturing activities at any of our facilities. We may be required to expend significant funds and our manufacturing activities
could be delayed or suspended or we may lose the ability to purchase or use certain materials, or face restrictions on the amounts of materials we may use
or purchase, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or
repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated, and we face significant costs and uncertainties associated with our efforts to comply with applicable
laws and regulations.
The pharmaceutical industry is subject to regulation by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the
U.S., EU, China and India. For instance, we must comply with applicable laws and requirements of the FDA and other regulatory agencies, including
foreign authorities, with respect to the research, development, manufacture, quality, safety, effectiveness, approval, labeling, tracking, tracing,
authentication, storage, record-keeping, reporting, pharmacovigilance, sale, distribution, import, export, marketing, advertising, and promotion of
pharmaceutical products. We are committed to conducting our business, including the sale and marketing of our products, in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations. These laws and regulations, however, are numerous, complex and continue to evolve, and it is possible that a governmental authority
may challenge our activities, or that an employee or agent could violate these laws and regulations without our knowledge. Failure to comply with these
laws, regulations or expectations could result in a range of consequences, including, but not limited to, fines, penalties, disgorgement, exclusion from U.S.
federal healthcare reimbursement programs, unanticipated compliance expenditures, suspension of review of applications or other submissions, rejection or
delay in approval of applications, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution of certain products or at certain
facilities, our inability to sell products, the return by customers of our products, injunctions, and/or criminal prosecution. Under certain circumstances, a
regulator may also have the authority to revoke or vary previously granted drug approvals.
The safety profile of any product will continue to be closely monitored both by the Company through on-going post-market vigilance programs
and by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities after approval. For example, certain jurisdictions and regulatory agencies, including the
FDA and EMA, require risk assessments and, if applicable, testing for the presence of nitrosamine impurities in certain drugs. If such regulatory authorities
become aware of new safety information about any of our marketed or investigational products, those authorities may require further inspections,
enhancements to manufacturing controls, labeling changes, establishment of a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy or similar strategy, restrictions on a
product’s indicated uses or marketing, or post-approval studies or post-market surveillance. In addition, we are subject to regulations in various
jurisdictions, including the Federal Drug Supply Chain Security Act in the U.S., the Falsified Medicines Directive in the EU and several other such
regulations in other countries that require us to develop electronic systems to serialize, track, trace and authenticate units of our products through the supply
chain and distribution system. Compliance with these regulations has in the past and may in the future result in increased expenses for us or impose greater
administrative burdens on our organization, and failure to meet these requirements could result in fines or other penalties.
In recent years, the regulatory framework in China regarding the pharmaceutical industry has undergone significant changes and Chinese
authorities have become increasingly vigilant in enforcing laws in the pharmaceutical industry. We believe that Viatris’ strategies regarding pharmaceutical
research, development, manufacturing and commercialization in China are currently aligned with the Chinese government’s policies, but they may in the
future diverge, requiring a change in such strategies. For example, in order to comply with foreign ownership restrictions and meet regulatory, licensing,
and cybersecurity requirements, we conduct some of our business in China through variable interest entities. Although we believe these structures and
activities related to our VIEs comply with existing laws and regulations in China, they involve unique risks and uncertainties, including that China may
from time to time consider and implement additional changes in their legislative, regulatory, licensing, or other requirements that could subject us to
penalties and impact these structures and activities. Any such change may result in increased compliance costs to us or cause delays in or prevent the
successful research, development, manufacturing or commercialization of our products in China, result in the loss of required licenses and permits or the
suspension or termination of Viatris’ activities in China.
The FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities also regulate the facilities and operational procedures that we use to manufacture our
products. We must register our facilities with the FDA and similar regulators in other countries. Products must be manufactured in our facilities in
accordance with cGMP or similar standards in each territory in which we manufacture. Compliance with such regulations and with our own quality
standards requires substantial expenditures of time,
34

Table of Contents
money, and effort in multiple areas, including training of personnel, record-keeping, production, and quality control and quality assurance. The FDA and
other comparable regulatory authorities, including foreign authorities, periodically inspect our manufacturing facilities for compliance with cGMP or
similar standards in the applicable territory. Regulatory approval to manufacture a drug is granted on a site-specific basis. Failure to comply with cGMP
and other regulatory standards at one of our or our partners’ or suppliers’ manufacturing facilities could result in an adverse action brought by the FDA or
other regulatory authorities, which has resulted and could in the future result in the receipt of an untitled or warning letter, fines, penalties, disgorgement,
unanticipated compliance expenditures, rejection or delay in approval of applications, suspension of review of applications or other submissions,
suspension of ongoing clinical trials, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, our inability to sell products,
the return by customers of our products, orders to suspend, vary, or withdraw marketing authorizations, injunctions, consent decrees, requirements to
modify promotional materials or issue corrective information to healthcare practitioners, refusal to permit import or export, criminal prosecution and/or
other adverse actions.
Although we have established internal quality and regulatory compliance programs and policies, there is no guarantee that these programs and
policies, as currently designed, will meet regulatory agency standards in the future or will prevent instances of non-compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. Additionally, despite our compliance efforts, we or our partners have in the past and may in the future receive notices of manufacturing and
quality-related observations following inspections by regulatory authorities around the world, as well as official agency correspondence regarding
compliance. For example, in December 2024 the FDA issued a warning letter and import alert related to our oral finished dose manufacturing facility in
Indore, India. The warning letter and import alert restrict our ability to distribute certain products into the U.S. and have also negatively impacted our
ability to sell products made at this facility to customers in other regions. The warning letter and import alert at our Indore facility negatively impacted our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in fiscal year 2025, and we may not be able to fully recover these lost revenues in current or future
periods. While we continue to work toward finalizing the remediation of the Indore facility to prepare for reinspection by the FDA, if we are unable to
resolve any such observations and address regulatory concerns in a timely fashion, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows,
ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price could be materially adversely affected.
Our business could be adversely affected if any regulatory body were to delay, withhold, or withdraw approval of an application; require a recall
or other adverse product action; require one of our manufacturing facilities, partners, or suppliers to cease or limit production; or suspend, vary, or
withdraw related marketing authorization. Reductions in personnel at the FDA or other health agencies as a result of changing legislative or regulatory
priorities could result in slower response times or reduced resources and, as a result, review of regulatory submissions, inspections, resolution of warning
letters or import alerts, approval of new products and other timelines important to our business may be materially impacted, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
Regulators and policymakers globally are also increasingly focused on addressing drug shortages and expanding transparency across supply
chains. In the U.S., Congress has considered measures to enhance supply chain resiliency and ensure the quality of pharmaceutical products, including
expansion of reporting requirements to include API and finished dose manufacturing locations and expanded communication with regulators regarding
demand spikes for pharmaceutical products. Compliance with any such requirements may be burdensome or costly.
We utilize controlled substances in certain of our current products and products in development, and therefore must meet the requirements of the
Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and the related regulations administered by the DEA in the U.S., as well as those of similar laws in other countries
where we operate. These laws relate to the manufacture, shipment, storage, sale, and use of controlled substances. The DEA and other regulatory agencies
limit the availability of the controlled substances used in certain of our current products and products in development and, as a result, our procurement
quota of these active ingredients may not be sufficient to meet commercial demand or complete clinical trials. We must apply to the DEA and similar
regulatory agencies for procurement quotas in order to obtain these substances. Any delay or refusal by the DEA or such similar agencies in establishing
our procurement quota for controlled substances could delay or stop our clinical trials or product launches, or could cause trade inventory disruptions for
those products that have already been launched. In addition, some states have passed laws and regulations imposing assessments on the sale or distribution
of certain controlled substances, and other states are considering and may implement similar laws and regulations in the future.
The occurrence of any of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
The use of legal, regulatory, and legislative strategies by both brand and generic competitors, including but not limited to “authorized generics” and
regulatory petitions, may increase costs associated with the introduction or marketing of our generic products, could delay or prevent such
introduction, and could significantly reduce our revenue and profit.
35

Table of Contents
Our competitors, both branded and generic, often pursue strategies that could prevent or delay generic alternatives to branded products. These
strategies include, but are not limited to:
•
entering into agreements whereby other generic companies will begin to market an authorized generic, which is the approved brand-name drug
without the brand-name on its label, at the same time or after generic competition initially enters the market;
•
launching their own authorized generic product prior to or at the same time or after generic competition initially enters the market;
•
pricing a branded product at a discount equivalent to generic pricing;
•
filing frivolous petitions with the FDA or other regulatory bodies seeking to prevent or delay approvals, including timing the frivolous filings so as
to thwart generic competition by causing delays of our product approvals;
•
contracting strategies among pharmaceutical manufacturers and PBMs that could decrease generic or biosimilar utilization and negatively impact
our products;
•
seeking to establish regulatory and legal obstacles that would make it more difficult to demonstrate bioequivalence or to meet other requirements
for approval, and/or to prevent regulatory agency review of applications;
•
initiating legislative or other efforts to limit the substitution of generic versions of brand pharmaceuticals;
•
filing suits for patent infringement and other claims that may delay or prevent regulatory approval, manufacture, and/or sale of generic products;
•
introducing “next-generation” products prior to the expiration of market exclusivity for the reference product, which often materially reduces the
demand for the generic or the reference product for which we seek regulatory approval;
•
persuading regulatory bodies to withdraw the approval of brand-name drugs for which the patents are about to expire and converting the market to
another product of the brand company on which longer patent protection exists;
•
obtaining extensions of market exclusivity by conducting clinical trials of brand drugs in pediatric populations or by other methods; and
•
seeking to obtain patents on new uses, formulations and processes with respect to drugs for which any original patent protection is about to expire.
In the U.S., some companies have lobbied Congress for amendments to Hatch-Waxman Act that would give them additional advantages over
generic competitors. For example, although the term of a company’s drug patent can be extended to reflect a portion of the time an NDA (which is filed in
the U.S. with the FDA when approval is sought to market a newly developed branded product and, in certain instances, for a new dosage form, a new
delivery system or a new indication for a previously approved drug) is under regulatory review, some companies have proposed extending the patent term
by a full year for each year spent in clinical trials rather than the one-half year that is currently permitted. Additionally, some companies have lobbied
Congress to amend legislation related to patent eligible subject matter that would limit generic drug patent challenges to a single forum (inter partes review
or district court). These lobbying efforts, if successful, could discourage the use of inter partes review and limit the ability of generic drug companies to
efficiently invalidate improperly granted brand drug patents.
If proposals like these in the U.S., EU, or in other countries where we or our partners and suppliers operate were to become effective, or if any
other actions by our competitors and other third parties to prevent or delay activities necessary to the approval, manufacture, or distribution of our products
are successful, our entry into the market and our ability to generate revenues associated with new products may be delayed, reduced, or eliminated, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares,
and/or stock price.
If we are unable to successfully introduce new products in a timely manner, our future revenue and profitability may be adversely affected.
Our future revenues and profitability will depend, in part, upon our ability to successfully and timely develop, license, or otherwise acquire and
commercialize new products. For example, in 2026 Viatris is anticipating regulatory responses on several products, including its low dose estrogen weekly
patch for contraception and fast-absorbing formulation of meloxicam. Product development is inherently risky, especially for new drugs for which safety
and efficacy have not been established and/or the market is not yet fully developed as well as for complex generic drugs and biosimilars. Likewise, product
licensing involves inherent risks, including, among others, uncertainties due to matters that may affect the achievement of milestones, as well as the
possibility of contractual disagreements with regard to whether the supply of product meets certain specifications or terms such as license scope or
termination rights. As we look to accelerate our growth by building on the strength of our base business with an expanding portfolio of innovative, best-in-
class, patent-protected assets, the development and commercialization process of such products requires substantial time, effort and financial resources. As
a result, our ability to match our production levels and capacity to market demand is imprecise and may result in a failure to meet market demand or satisfy
customer requirements for our products or, alternatively, an oversupply of inventory. We, or a collaboration partner, may
36

not have sufficient capital or finances to develop or commercialize a potential product, may not be successful in developing or commercializing such
products on a timely basis, or at all, and such products may be less likely or take longer to receive regulatory approval, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Before any prescription drug product, including generic drug products, can be marketed, marketing authorization approval is required by the
relevant regulatory authorities and/or national regulatory agencies (for example, the FDA in the U.S., the EMA in the EU and other regulatory authorities).
The process of obtaining regulatory approval to manufacture and market new branded and generic pharmaceutical products is rigorous, time consuming,
costly, and inherently unpredictable. In addition, these regulatory agencies may be delayed in reviewing and approving products as a result of lapsed or
insufficient funding, insufficient staffing, travel or work restrictions, or other factors beyond our control. Any delay in regulatory approval could impact the
commercial or financial success of a product.
Outside the U.S., the approval process may be more or less rigorous, depending on the country, and the time required for approval may be longer
or shorter than that required in the U.S. Bioequivalence, clinical, or other studies conducted in one country may not be accepted in other countries, the
requirements for approval may differ among countries, and the approval of a pharmaceutical product in one country does not necessarily mean that the
product will be approved in another country. We, or a partner or supplier, may be unable to obtain requisite approvals on a timely basis, or at all, for new
products that we may develop, license or otherwise acquire. Moreover, if we obtain regulatory approval for a drug, it may be limited, for example, with
respect to the indicated uses and delivery methods for which the drug may be marketed, or may include warnings, precautions or contraindications in the
labeling, which could restrict our potential market for the drug. A regulatory approval may also include post-approval study or risk management
requirements that may substantially increase the resources required to market the drug. Also, for products pending approval, we may obtain raw materials
or produce batches of inventory to be used in efficacy and bioequivalence testing, as well as in anticipation of the product’s launch. If regulatory approval
is denied or delayed, we could be exposed to the risk of this inventory becoming obsolete.
The approval process for generic pharmaceutical products often results in the relevant regulatory agency granting final approval to a number of
generic pharmaceutical products at the time a patent claim for a corresponding branded product or other market exclusivity expires. This often forces us to
face immediate competition when we introduce a generic product into the market. Additionally, further generic approvals often continue to be granted for a
given product subsequent to the initial launch of the generic product. These circumstances generally result in significantly lower prices, as well as reduced
margins, for generic products compared to branded products. New generic market entrants generally cause continued price, margin, and sales erosion over
the generic product life cycle.
In the U.S., the Hatch-Waxman Act provides for a period of 180 days of generic marketing exclusivity for a “first applicant,” that is the first
submitted ANDA (which is filed in the U.S. with the FDA when approval is sought to market a generic equivalent of a drug product previously approved
under an NDA and listed in the FDA publication entitled Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, popularly known as the
“Orange Book” or for a new dosage strength for a drug previously approved under an ANDA) containing a certification of invalidity, non-infringement or
unenforceability related to a patent listed with the ANDA’s reference drug product, commonly referred to as a Paragraph IV certification. During this
exclusivity period, which under certain circumstances may be shared with other ANDAs filed on the same day, the FDA cannot grant final approval to
later-submitted ANDAs for the same generic equivalent. If an ANDA is awarded 180-day exclusivity, the applicant generally enjoys higher market share,
net revenues, and gross margin for that generic product. However, our ability to obtain 180 days of generic marketing exclusivity may be dependent upon
our ability to obtain FDA approval or tentative approval within an applicable time period of the FDA’s acceptance of our ANDA. If we are unable to obtain
approval or tentative approval within that time period, we may risk forfeiture of such marketing exclusivity. By contrast, if we are not a “first applicant” to
challenge a listed patent for such a product, we may lose significant advantages to a competitor with 180-day exclusivity, even if we obtain FDA approval
for our generic drug product. The same would be true in situations where we are required to share our exclusivity period with other ANDA sponsors with
Paragraph IV certifications.
In the EU and other countries and regions, there is no exclusivity period for the first generic product. The European Commission or national
regulatory agencies may grant marketing authorizations to any number of generics.
If we are unable to navigate our products through the approval process in a timely manner, there could be an adverse effect on our product
introduction plans, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
We expend a significant amount of resources on R&D efforts that may not lead to successful product introductions.
Much of our development effort is focused on technically difficult-to-formulate products and/or products that require advanced manufacturing
technology. We conduct R&D primarily to enable us to gain approval for, manufacture, and market
37

Table of Contents
pharmaceuticals in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We also partner with third parties to develop or acquire products under development,
including, for instance, our acquisition of the development programs for selatogrel and cenerimod, which are currently in Phase 3 development and our
acquisition of Aculys Pharma, including exclusive rights to pitolisant in Japan and Spydia® in Japan and certain other markets in the Asia-Pacific region.
Successful product introductions have in the past and may in the future significantly rely on our partners or collaborators, including with respect to their
financial condition. Typically, expenses related to the development of innovative or complex compounds and the filing of marketing authorization
applications for innovative and complex compounds (such as NDAs in the U.S.) are significantly greater than those expenses associated with the
development of and filing of marketing authorization applications for most generic products (such as ANDAs in the U.S. and abridged applications in
Europe). As we look to accelerate our growth by building on the strength of our base business with an expanding portfolio of innovative, best-in-class,
patent-protected assets, our related expenses have increased and will likely continue to increase. Because of the inherent risk associated with R&D efforts
in our industry, including the high cost and uncertainty of conducting clinical trials (where required) particularly with respect to new and/or complex or
innovative drugs, our, or a partner’s, R&D and Acquired IPR&D expenditures may not result in the successful introduction of new pharmaceutical products
approved by the relevant regulatory bodies. In addition, we have incurred and may in the future incur asset impairment charges related to such programs if
they are not successful. Also, after we submit a marketing authorization application for a new compound or generic product, the relevant regulatory
authority may change standards and/or request that we conduct additional studies or evaluations and, as a result, we may incur approval delays as well as
R&D costs in excess of what we anticipated.
Clinical testing, particularly with respect to new and/or complex or innovative drugs, is expensive and can take many years to complete, and its
outcome is inherently uncertain. Failure can occur at any time during the clinical trial process, including after significant investments have been made. We
or our collaboration partners may experience delays in our ongoing or future clinical trials, and we do not know whether planned clinical trials will begin or
enroll subjects on time, need additional financing, need to be redesigned, or be completed on schedule, if at all.
Clinical trials are complex to administer and outcomes are often unpredictable, particularly with respect to new and/or complex or innovative
products. Clinical trials may be delayed, suspended or prematurely terminated for a variety of reasons. If we experience delays in the completion of, or the
termination of, any clinical trial of our product candidates, the commercial prospects of our product candidates will be harmed, and our ability to generate
product revenues from any of these product candidates will be delayed. In addition, any delays in completing our clinical trials will increase our costs, slow
down our product candidate development and approval process, and jeopardize our ability to commence product sales and generate revenues. Any of these
occurrences may harm our business, financial condition and prospects significantly. In addition, many of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the
commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of our product candidates.
Finally, we cannot be certain that any investment made in developing products will be recovered, even if we are successful in commercialization.
To the extent that we expend significant resources on R&D efforts and are not able, ultimately, to introduce successful new and/or complex or innovative
products as a result of those efforts, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to
pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Even if our products in development receive regulatory approval, such products may not achieve expected levels of market acceptance.
Even if we are able to obtain regulatory approvals for our new products, the success of those products is dependent upon market acceptance.
Levels of market acceptance for our products could be impacted by several factors, including but not limited to:
•
the availability, perceived advantages, and relative safety and efficacy of alternative products from our competitors;
•
the degree to which the approved labeling supports promotional initiatives for commercial success;
•
the prices of our products relative to those of our competitors;
•
the timing of our market entry;
•
the effectiveness of our marketing, sales, and distribution strategy and operations; and
•
other competitor actions, including legal actions.
Additionally, studies of the proper utilization, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products are being conducted by the industry, government
agencies, and others. Such studies, which increasingly employ sophisticated methods and techniques, can call into question the utilization, safety, and
efficacy of previously marketed as well as future products. In some cases, such studies have resulted, and may in the future result, in the discontinuation or
variation of product marketing authorizations or requirements for risk management programs, such as a patient registry. Any of these events could
adversely affect our profitability, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock
price.

Our business is highly dependent upon market perceptions of us, our products and brands, and the safety and quality of our products and brands, as
well as the effectiveness of our sales and marketing activities, and we may be adversely impacted by negative publicity or findings.
Market perceptions of us are very important to our business, especially market perceptions of our company, products, brands and the safety and
quality of our products and brands. Viatris believes that maintaining and enhancing certain of its brands is important and often provides certain competitive
advantages. If we, our partners and suppliers, or our products or brands suffer from negative publicity, are subject to market withdrawal or recall or are
proven to be, or are claimed to be, ineffective or harmful to consumers, then this could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.
Negative publicity related to the receipt of a warning letter, import alert, or similar restrictions from the FDA or other regulatory authorities, such as the
restrictions at our Indore facility, have damaged and could continue to damage our reputation among customers, lead customers to seek other suppliers of
our products, or lead to additional inquiries from other regulatory authorities. In addition, if customers, patients or regulatory authorities mistake us, our
partners and suppliers, or our products and brands for other companies, products or brands, this could lead to brand confusion, unanticipated regulatory
inquiries or proceedings and have a negative impact on our reputation and business.
Viatris’ sales and marketing efforts are anchored by promoting its products to physicians, pharmacists, eye care and other healthcare professionals,
clinics and hospitals. Therefore, Viatris’ sales and marketing force, whether in-house sales representatives or third-party commercial partners, must possess
a relatively high level of technical knowledge, up-to-date understanding of industry trends and expertise in the relevant therapeutic areas and products, as
well as promotion and communication skills. Marketing, advertising and promotions may be expensive and may not achieve their intended benefits. If
Viatris is unable to effectively train its in-house sales representatives and third-party commercial partners or monitor and evaluate their marketing
performances, our sales and marketing may be less successful than desired. In addition, fewer in-person sales and marketing efforts, or other similar
limitations, may result in less successful sales and marketing activities.
Given our dependence on market perception and sales and marketing efforts, negative publicity associated with product or brand quality, patient
illness, or other adverse effects resulting from, or perceived to be resulting from, our products or brands, or our partners’ and suppliers’ manufacturing
facilities, or an inability to increase or maintain the effectiveness and efficiency of our sales and marketing activities could have a material adverse effect on
our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from sales to a limited number of customers.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from sales to a limited number of customers. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
Viatris’ top three customers in terms of net sales, in the aggregate, represented approximately 25% and 26%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated
total net sales. If we were to experience a significant reduction in or loss of business with one or more such customers, or if one or more such customers
were to experience difficulty in paying us on a timely basis, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or
repurchase shares, and/or stock price could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, a significant amount of our sales are to a relatively small number of drug wholesalers and retail drug chains. These customers
represent an essential part of the distribution chain of pharmaceutical products. Drug wholesalers and retail drug chains have undergone, and are continuing
to undergo, significant consolidation. This consolidation has resulted in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage and, consequently, increasing
the product pricing pressures facing our business. We expect this trend of increased pricing pressures to continue. Additionally, the emergence of large
buying groups representing retail and wholesale pharmacies and the prevalence and influence of managed care organizations and similar institutions
increases the negotiating power of these groups, enabling them to attempt to extract price discounts, rebates, and other restrictive pricing terms on our
products. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends
or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
We have a limited number of manufacturing facilities and certain third-party suppliers produce a substantial portion of our API and products, some of
which require a highly exacting and complex manufacturing process.
A substantial portion of our manufacturing capacity, as well as our current production, is attributable to a limited number of manufacturing
facilities and certain third-party suppliers. We have in the past and will in the future close, downsize or divest manufacturing facilities, which further limits
our internal manufacturing capacity and increases our dependence on third-party suppliers. A significant disruption at any facilities within our internal or
third-party supply chain, even on a short-term basis, whether due to the failure of a third-party supplier to fulfill the terms of their agreement with us, labor
disruption, legal proceedings, adverse quality or compliance observation, other regulatory action, infringement of brand or other third-party intellectual
property rights, natural disaster, civil or political unrest, export or import restrictions, or other events could impair our ability to produce and ship products
to the market on a timely basis and could, among other consequences, subject us to exposure to claims from customers. Any of these events could also
result in a loss of confidence from our customers, loss of
39

existing or potential business, and have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to
pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price. If we or our third-party suppliers face significant manufacturing issues, this could lead to
shutdowns, delays or product shortages, or to our being entirely unable to supply certain products to customers for an extended period of time. In addition,
our facilities or the facilities of our third-party suppliers have in the past and may in the future be required to close for periods of time, be required to staff
at reduced capacity, or suffer other manufacturing shortages, delays or shutdowns as the result of an outbreak of disease, epidemic or pandemic, fires,
accidents, weather, unrest or other emergencies taking place in or near any of our facilities. For example, manufacturing at our facility in Nashik, India has
been temporarily suspended due to a fire in February 2026. Such shortages, delays or shutdowns have in the past and could in the future result in significant
losses of sales revenue, third-party litigation, or negative publicity. See also “The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated, and we face significant
costs and uncertainties associated with our efforts to comply with applicable laws and regulations.”
We purchase certain API and other materials and supplies that we use in our manufacturing operations, as well as certain finished products, from
many different foreign and domestic suppliers. The price of API and other materials and supplies is subject to volatility, including as a result of global
supply chain disruptions and rates of inflation. In certain cases, we have listed only one supplier in our applications with regulatory agencies. There is no
guarantee that we will always have timely, sufficient or affordable access to critical raw materials or finished product supplied by third parties, even when
we have more than one supplier, which could lead to our or our partners’ and suppliers’ inability to supply sufficient quantities of our products to meet
market demand. In connection with our API business divestiture, we entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement pursuant to which we purchase a
significant amount of API from the purchaser in that transaction. Our obligations under this manufacturing and supply agreement have made us more
dependent on the purchaser of our API business and the success of their business, and made us more vulnerable to API supply shortages and price
volatility. In addition, actual or alleged quality deficiencies in the products which we or our suppliers provide, or at our or their manufacturing facilities,
including with respect to warning letters and import alerts, for example at our Indore facility, have in the past and could in the future adversely impact our
manufacturing and supply capabilities, cause supply interruptions, or lead to voluntary market withdrawals or product recalls. The EU has implemented
particularly stringent regulations with respect to manufacturing standards for API imported into Europe that place the certification requirement on the
regulatory bodies of the exporting countries. An increase in the price, or an interruption in the supply, of a single-sourced or any other raw material,
including the relevant API, or in the supply of finished product, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
In addition, the manufacture of some of our products is a highly exacting and complex process, due in part to strict regulatory requirements.
Problems may arise during manufacturing at our or our third-party suppliers’ facilities for a variety of reasons, including, among others, equipment
malfunction, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, problems with raw materials, natural disasters, power outages, labor disputes or other civil
unrest, cybersecurity or compliance issues, and environmental, health and safety issues, laws, regulations and permits. If problems arise during the
production of a batch of product, that batch of product may have to be discarded. This could, among other things, lead to increased costs, contractual
penalties, lost revenue, damage to customer relations, time and expense spent investigating the cause, and, depending on the cause, similar losses with
respect to other batches or products. If problems are not discovered before the product is released to the market, recall and product liability costs may also
be incurred.
If we or one of our suppliers experience any of the problems described above, such problems could have a material adverse effect on our
reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Our future success is highly dependent on our ability to attract, motivate and retain key personnel.
Given the size, complexity and global reach of our business, it is important that we attract, motivate and retain qualified management and other
key employees in order to develop and commercialize new products, manage our business, and compete effectively. Our ability to do so also depends in
part on how well we maintain a strong, diverse, inclusive, and safe workplace culture that is attractive to employees. Competition for qualified personnel in
the pharmaceutical industry is intense. Current or prospective Viatris employees may have changing expectations around workplace flexibility, and a failure
to meet these evolving expectations may result in reduced ability to attract and retain talent. In addition, current or prospective Viatris employees may
experience uncertainty about their future roles at the Company as a result of our strategic initiatives, acquisitions, divestitures, integration activities,
enterprise-wide strategic review and related cost-saving and restructuring activities. As a result, we may lose key personnel or may be unable to attract,
retain and motivate qualified individuals, or the associated costs may increase. If we fail to attract, develop, incentivize and retain key scientific, technical,
commercial, regulatory, information security, privacy, or management personnel, this could lead to loss of customers, business disruption, and a decline in
revenues, adversely affect the progress of pipeline products, or otherwise adversely affect our operations.

In addition, while we work to ensure that we have effective plans in place for management succession throughout the organization, any anticipated
or unanticipated management transition could create uncertainty, which could disrupt or result in changes to our strategy and have a negative impact on our
business. If we are unsuccessful in retaining our key employees or enforcing certain post-employment contractual provisions such as confidentiality
provisions, it may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or
repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Compliance Risks
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.S. Foreign Extortion Prevention Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, Chinese anti-corruption laws
and similar worldwide anti-corruption laws, which impose restrictions on certain conduct and may carry substantial fines and penalties.
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, Chinese anti-corruption laws and similar anti-corruption laws in
other jurisdictions. These laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other prohibited payments to
government officials or others for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, and some have record keeping requirements. The failure to comply with
these laws could result in substantial criminal and/or monetary penalties, or subject us to costly and time-consuming government investigations and
oversight. Likewise, we are impacted by the U.S. Foreign Extortion Prevention Act that criminalizes a foreign government official’s solicitation of
improper payments from U.S. companies or individuals in exchange for conferring an improper advantage. While this law targets improper demands by
foreign officials, in many countries in which we operate hospitals are owned and operated by the government, and doctors and other hospital employees
with which we do business would be considered foreign officials under these regulations. In addition, the U.S. Foreign Extortion Prevention Act may
increase enforcement of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other applicable anti-corruption laws and amplify exposure for U.S. companies.
We operate in jurisdictions that have experienced corruption, bribery, pay-offs and other similar practices from time-to-time and, in certain
circumstances, such practices may be local custom. We have implemented and trained relevant employees and third-party agents regarding internal control
policies and procedures that mandate compliance with these anti-corruption laws. However, we cannot be certain that these policies and procedures will
protect us against liability. There can be no assurance that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held
responsible. If our employees or agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe criminal or civil penalties, reputational harm
and other consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay
dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Our competitors, including branded pharmaceutical companies, and/or other third parties, may allege that we or our suppliers are infringing upon
their intellectual property, including in an “at risk launch” situation, which could result in substantial monetary damages, impact our ability to launch
a product and/or our ability to continue marketing a product, and/or force us to expend substantial resources in resulting litigation, the outcome of
which is uncertain.
Companies that produce branded pharmaceutical products and other patent holders routinely bring litigation against entities selling or seeking
regulatory approval to manufacture and market generic forms of their branded products, as well as other entities involved in the manufacture, supply, and
other aspects relating to API and finished pharmaceutical products. These companies and other patent holders may allege patent infringement or other
violations of intellectual property rights as the basis for filing suit against an applicant for a generic product as well as others who may be involved in some
aspect of research, supply, production, distribution, testing, packaging or other processes. Litigation often involves significant expense and can delay or
prevent introduction or sale of our generic products. If patents are held valid and infringed by our products in a particular jurisdiction, we and/or our
supplier(s) or partner(s) may need to cease manufacturing and other activities, including but not limited to selling in that jurisdiction. We may also need to
pay damages, surrender or withdraw the product, or destroy existing stock in that jurisdiction.
There also may be situations where we use our business judgment and decide to market and sell products directly or through third parties,
notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) and other third-party rights have not been finally resolved by the courts (i.e., an “at-risk
launch”). The risk involved in doing so can be substantial because the remedies available to the owner of a patent for infringement may include, among
other things, a reasonable royalty on sales, damages measured by the profits lost by the patent holder, or by profits earned by the infringer. If there is a
finding by a court of willful infringement, the definition of which is subjective, such damages may be increased by up to three times. An adverse decision
in a case such as this, or a judicial order preventing us or our suppliers and partners from manufacturing, marketing, selling, and/or other activities
necessary to the manufacture and distribution of our products, could result in substantial penalties, and/or have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.

We rely on the effectiveness of our patents, trademarks, confidentiality agreements and other measures to protect our intellectual property rights.
Our ability to commercialize any branded product successfully will largely depend upon our or any partner’s or supplier’s ability to obtain,
maintain and enforce intellectual property rights of sufficient scope to lawfully prevent third parties from developing and/or marketing infringing products.
This will be of particular importance as we will look to accelerate our growth by building on the strength of our base business with an expanding portfolio
of innovative, best-in-class, intellectual property-protected assets. In the absence of adequate intellectual property or other protections, competitors may
adversely affect our branded products business by independently developing and/or marketing substantially equivalent products. It is also possible that we
could incur substantial costs if we initiate litigation against others to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights.
We may submit patent applications covering the API, formulation, methods of making, and/or methods of use for our branded products and
branded product candidates. We may not be issued patents based on patent applications already filed or that we file in the future. Further, due to other
factors that affect patentability, and if patents are issued, they may be insufficient in scope to protect our branded products from generic competition, as
generics may be able to design around our patents. Patents are national in scope and therefore the issuance of a patent in one country does not ensure the
issuance of a patent in any other country. Furthermore, the patent position of companies in the pharmaceutical industry generally involves complex legal
and factual questions and has been and remains the subject of significant litigation. Legal standards relating to scope and validity of patent claims are
evolving and may differ in various countries. Any patents we have obtained, or obtain in the future, may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented.
Moreover, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any other governmental agency may commence or institute post-grant review, inter partes review,
interference proceedings, or other challenges to our patents or patent applications. Although many of our products do not have patent protection, we
continue to take steps to defend our patents for certain of our products.
In addition, branded products often have market viability based upon the goodwill of the product name, which typically is the subject of a
trademark registration or filing. Our branded products may therefore also be subject to risks related to the loss of a trademark or patent or to competition
from generic or other branded products. Challenges can come from other businesses, individuals or governments, and governments could require
compulsory licensing of our intellectual property. Any challenge to, or invalidation, opposition or circumvention of, our intellectual property (including
patents or patent applications, trademarks or trademark applications, trade dress and copyrights) would be costly, would require significant time and
attention of our management, and could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay
dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
We also rely on trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how, proprietary designs, trade dress, regulatory exclusivity and continuing
technological innovation that we seek to protect, in part by confidentiality agreements with licensees, suppliers, employees and consultants. These
measures may not provide adequate protection for our unpatented technology. If these agreements are breached, it is possible that we will not have
adequate remedies. Disputes may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the applicability of confidentiality agreements. Furthermore,
our trade secrets and proprietary technology may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors or we may not be able to
maintain the confidentiality of information relating to such products.
Our ability to enforce intellectual property rights also depends on the laws of individual countries, each country’s practices with respect to
enforcement of intellectual property rights, and the extent to which certain countries may seek to engage in policies or practices that may weaken its
intellectual property framework (e.g., a policy of routine compulsory licensing, or threat of compulsory licensing, of pharmaceutical intellectual property).
If we are unable to adequately protect our technology, trade secrets or proprietary know-how, or enforce our intellectual property rights, this could cause a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock
price.
Our reporting and payment obligations related to our participation in U.S. federal healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and the VA, are
complex and often involve subjective decisions that could change as a result of new business circumstances, new laws, regulations or agency guidance,
or advice of legal counsel. Any failure to comply with those obligations could subject us to investigation, penalties, and sanctions.
U.S. federal laws regarding reporting and payment obligations with respect to a pharmaceutical company’s participation in federal healthcare
programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and the VA, are complex. Because our processes for calculating applicable government prices and the judgments
involved in making these calculations involve subjective decisions and complex methodologies, these calculations are subject to risk of errors and differing
interpretations. In addition, they are subject to review and challenge by the applicable governmental agencies, and it is possible that such reviews could
result in changes that may have material adverse legal, regulatory, or economic consequences.

Table of Contents
Any governmental agencies or authorities that have commenced, or may commence, an investigation of us relating to the sales, marketing, pricing,
quality, or manufacturing of pharmaceutical products could seek to impose, based on a claim of violation of anti-fraud and false claims laws or otherwise,
civil and/or criminal sanctions, including fines, penalties, and possible exclusion from federal healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and/or
the VA. Some of the applicable laws may impose liability even in the absence of specific intent to defraud. Furthermore, should there be ambiguity with
regard to how to properly calculate and report payments—and even in the absence of any such ambiguity—a governmental authority may take a position
contrary to a position we have taken, and may impose or pursue civil and/or criminal sanctions. Governmental agencies may also make changes in program
interpretations, requirements or conditions of participation, some of which may have implications for amounts previously estimated or paid. There can be
no assurance that our submissions will not be found by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or the VA to be incomplete or incorrect. Any failure to
comply with the above laws and regulations, and any such penalties or sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
We are involved in various legal proceedings and certain government inquiries and may experience unfavorable outcomes of such proceedings or
inquiries.
We are or may be involved in various legal proceedings and certain government inquiries or investigations, including, but not limited to, patent
infringement, product liability, personal injury, securities fraud, claims with respect to the manufacture, sale, marketing and distribution of opioid products,
antitrust matters, breach of contract, consumer protection matters, and claims involving Medicare, Medicaid and/or VA reimbursements, or laws relating to
sales, marketing, and pricing practices. These proceedings may involve claims for, or the possibility of, fines, penalties, joint and several liability, or
damages involving substantial amounts of money or other relief, including but not limited to civil or criminal fines and penalties and exclusion from
participation in various government healthcare-related programs.
Viatris is subject to investigations and extensive regulation by government agencies in the U.S., China and other developed and emerging markets
in which we operate. Criminal charges, substantial fines and/or civil penalties, limitations on Viatris’ ability to conduct business in applicable jurisdictions,
as well as reputational harm and increased public interest in the matter could result from government investigations. With respect to government
enforcement of state and federal laws, including antitrust laws, as well as private plaintiff litigation of antitrust claims, including so-called “pay for delay”
patent settlements, large verdicts, settlements or government fines are possible, especially in the U.S. and EU. Additionally, some state legislatures have
enacted, and the U.S. federal government or additional state legislatures could enact, legislation to limit patent settlements between pharmaceutical
companies and deem such patent agreements as anticompetitive. These changes could impact our ability to launch generic products prior to the originator’s
patent expiry.
In connection with the Combination, the Company has generally assumed liability for, and control of, pending and threatened legal matters
relating to the Upjohn Business and has agreed to indemnify Pfizer for liabilities arising out of such assumed legal matters. Pfizer, however, has agreed to
retain various matters – including certain specified competition law matters – to the extent they arise from conduct during the pre-Distribution period and
has agreed to indemnify the Company for liabilities arising out of such matters. If Pfizer were to successfully dispute its retention of these matters, or if
there is an adverse outcome in the matters that Pfizer has agreed to retain, this could have an adverse impact on Viatris. In addition, Viatris has agreed to
pay Pfizer an amount equal to 57% of any losses actually incurred or suffered by Viatris, its predecessors or subsidiaries, since July 29, 2019, arising out of
third-party actions relating to the manufacture, distribution, marketing, promotion or sale of opioids by or on behalf of Viatris, its predecessors or
subsidiaries. If any of these legal proceedings or inquiries were to result in an adverse outcome, the impact could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
The legal landscape for the liability of pharmaceutical manufacturers for certain product liabilities claims could increase our exposure to litigation
costs and damages, including in connection with third party defense and indemnification demands. Moreover, although we maintain a combination of self-
insurance and commercial insurance, no reasonable amount of insurance can fully protect against all risks because of the potential liability inherent in the
business of producing pharmaceuticals for human consumption. To the extent that a loss occurs, depending on the nature of the loss and the level of
insurance coverage maintained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay
dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
In addition, in limited circumstances, entities that we have acquired are party to litigation in matters under which we are, or may be, entitled to
indemnification by the previous owners. Even in the case of indemnification, there are risks inherent in such indemnities and, accordingly, there can be no
assurance that we will receive the full benefits of such indemnification, or that we will not experience an adverse result in a matter that is not indemnified,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase
shares, and/or stock price.

We are increasingly dependent on IT and information systems and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data
leakage risks.
Significant disruptions to our IT and information systems or cybersecurity breaches could adversely affect our business. We are increasingly
dependent on sophisticated IT and information systems and infrastructure to operate our business. If the Company does not successfully establish, maintain
and update its IT and information systems, this could result in increased system outages or business disruptions, higher costs and failure to meet our
business objectives. The number of new vulnerabilities identified to these systems combined with the increased number of systems that reach end of life
each year creates an opportunity for system failures as well as successful malicious attacks. Such attacks are increasingly sophisticated and are made by
groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise, including state and quasi-state actors, criminal groups, “hackers” and others. Evolving
work conditions, including work from home protocols, may be less secure and have introduced operational risk, including increased cybersecurity risk. For
example, groups and individuals have sought to exploit remote working environments to initiate hacking, phishing, and social engineering attempts and
malware attacks.
We and our suppliers, partners, customers and vendors have in the past experienced and will in the future likely continue to experience
cybersecurity threats and incidents, including attacks on and compromises of our systems. Although we do not believe such cybersecurity threats or
incidents have had a significant impact on us to date, there is no guarantee that a future cybersecurity threat or incident will be detected and remediated to
not have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial conditions, cash flows or results of operations. Any security breach or other
disruption to our or our vendors’ IT or information systems infrastructure could also interfere with or disrupt our business operations, including our
manufacturing, distribution, R&D, sales and/or marketing activities. While we continue to invest in the monitoring, protection and resilience of our
information and data security systems, there can be no assurances that our efforts will detect, prevent, or fully recover systems or data from all breakdowns,
service interruptions, cybersecurity threats and incidents, attacks and/or breaches.
We outsource significant elements of our operations to third parties and provide IT, information, and security services to some partners under
transition services agreements. Some of these third parties are outside the U.S., including significant elements of our IT and information systems
infrastructure, and as a result we are managing many independent vendor relationships with third parties who may or could have access to our confidential
information. The overall increase in supply chain attacks on companies generally, and our interdependency on third party suppliers increases the potential
for supply disruptions and service IT and information system outages. In addition to our reliance upon third parties to provide IT and information system
and security services, the market for such services continues to contract and converge, increasing both the challenges in identifying competent providers
and the impact of a breach incident with any single vendor. In the ordinary course of business, we and our vendors collect, store and transmit large amounts
of confidential information (including trade secrets or other intellectual property, proprietary business information and personal information), and it is
critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. The size and complexity of our and
our vendors’ systems and the large amounts of confidential information that is present on them also makes them vulnerable to security breaches from
inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners or vendors, or from attacks by malicious third parties. Maintaining our access to and the
security, confidentiality and integrity of this confidential information (including trade secrets or other intellectual property, proprietary business information
and personal information) is important to our competitive business position. However, such information can be difficult and costly to protect. While we
have taken steps to identify and protect such information, and to ensure that the third-party vendors’ on which we rely have taken adequate steps to protect
such information, there can be no assurance that our or our vendors’ efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the
unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential or material non-public information that could adversely affect our business
operations or result in the loss, misappropriation, and/or unauthorized access, use or disclosure of, or the prevention of access to, confidential information.
A breach of our or our vendors’ security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, misappropriation or
misuse of trade secrets, proprietary information, or other confidential information, whether as a result of a cybersecurity threat or incident, theft, hacking,
fraud, trickery, phishing or other forms of deception, or for any other cause, could enable others to produce competing products, use our proprietary
technology or information, and/or adversely affect our business position. Further, any such interruption, security breach, or loss, misappropriation, and/or
unauthorized access, use or disclosure of confidential information, including personal information regarding our patients and employees, could result in
financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Insurance may be insufficient or may not cover the financial, legal, business or reputational losses that may result from a breakdown, breach,
cybersecurity threat or incident or other compromise of or interruption to our IT and information systems or confidential and other sensitive information.
We also cannot ensure that any limitation of liability or indemnity provisions in our contracts, including with vendors and service providers, for a
cybersecurity threat or incident, security lapse or breach or other security incident would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from
any liabilities or damages with

respect to any particular claim. Refer to Part I, Item 1C “Cybersecurity” of this Form 10-K for additional information about the Company’s risk
management and strategy and governance with respect to cybersecurity threats and incidents.
We are subject to data privacy and security laws and regulations in many different jurisdictions and countries where we do business, and our or our
vendors’ inability to comply could result in fines, penalties, or reputational damage, and could impact the way we operate our business.
We are subject to federal, state and international data privacy and security laws and regulations governing the collection, use, disclosure,
transmission and protection of personal information, including health-related information. As the legislative and regulatory landscape for data privacy and
security continues to evolve around the world, there has been an increasing focus on data privacy and security matters that may affect our business.
In the U.S., federal laws include HIPAA, which governs the use, disclosure, and security of protected health information by HIPAA covered
entities and business associates. Several U.S. states have enacted or proposed broad data privacy laws and regulations governing the confidentiality,
security, use and disclosure of personal information, which may impose greater restrictions than federal data privacy and security laws and regulations and
provide transparency and privacy rights for their citizens. We may also be subject to other state data privacy and security breach notification laws, state
health information privacy laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws such as the federal Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography
and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act, which impose requirements for the collection, use, disclosure, transmission and protection of personal information. Each
of these laws are subject to varying interpretations by courts and regulatory or government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us. If we, or
the third-party vendors on which we rely, fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations we could be subject to fines, penalties or sanctions, including
criminal penalties.
The EU’s and U.K.’s GDPR, together with related local implementing regulations, impose significant compliance obligations on our organization.
The GDPR establishes a comprehensive data protection framework that governs the collection, processing, and the transmission of personal information to
jurisdictions outside of the EU and U.K. The GDPR also affords individuals with a series of privacy rights relating to their personal information. GDPR-
imposed violations can result in significant penalties for non-compliance, including fines up to the higher of €20 million or 4% of total annual worldwide
revenue. Cybersecurity regulations continue to evolve beyond laws focused specifically on personal information. In particular, the EU’s NIS2 Directive and
related national implementing laws impose additional cybersecurity risk management, governance, and incident reporting obligations on certain in-scope
entities and their critical services and systems. NIS2 also includes significant penalties for non-compliance, including fines up to the higher of €10 million
or 2% of total annual worldwide revenue for certain entities, as implemented by applicable national law. Other recent or proposed legislation aimed at
strengthening national cybersecurity protections have focused on more prescriptive requirements for managing risks and vulnerabilities and reporting
incidents, going beyond general guidelines. Another evolving trend is national prohibitions against the use of foreign security software, imposing data
sovereignty or prohibitions on cross-border security monitoring, which could require us to adapt our technologies, controls and practices to meet local
standards.
In China, the laws and regulations relating to cybersecurity, data privacy and personal information continue to evolve. In 2021 and 2022, China
amended and, in some cases, adopted new laws and regulations governing the collection, transmission, processing and use of individual personal data,
including the Data Security Law, the Cybersecurity Review Measures, the Personal Information Protection Law and the Data Export Security Review
Measures. These laws and regulations restrict our ability to collect, transfer and use certain personal data, absent an application to and, in some cases,
approval from relevant governmental authorities in China. Additional regulations, guidelines, and measures relating to data privacy and data protection are
expected to be adopted, including more guidance from industry sector regulators on the catalogues of important data and publication of implementation
rules for certifications for cross-border transfers of personal information out of China, which may contain additional requirements for transferring personal
information out of mainland China.
In India, the DPDP Act forms the personal information protection and regulatory requirements for organizations who process any personal
information within the country. The DPDP Act is currently in the initial phase of implementation with a 12-18 month phased compliance timeline for
organizations although there are current discussions regarding shortening this timeline. The DPDP Act focuses on data minimization, purpose limitation,
and user consent and includes a requirement for a Data Protection Officer. While similar to other data protection laws such as the GDPR, several
requirements are unique to the DPDP Act such as registered consent managers and a lack of available legal bases for processing personal information
without consent. These requirements, along with other requirements unique to the DPDP Act, will require us to enhance our data privacy processes and
practices accordingly.
Other countries in which we operate have, or are developing, laws and regulations governing the collection, use, securing and transmission of
personal information as well that may affect our business or require us to adapt our technologies or practices. If we, or the third-party vendors on which we
rely, fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations we could be subject to fines, penalties or sanctions, including criminal penalties.
45

Table of Contents
Similar initiatives could increase the cost of developing, implementing or maintaining our IT systems, require us to allocate more resources to
compliance initiatives or increase our costs.
A failure by us, or our third-party vendors, to comply with applicable data privacy and security laws may lead to government enforcement actions
and private litigation, which could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us and could have a material adverse effect on the way we
operate our business, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Incorporating ML, AI and other emerging technologies into our products, services and operations may result in legal and regulatory risks, reputational
harm or have other adverse consequences to our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ML and AI-based solutions, including generative AI, are increasingly being used in the pharmaceutical industry, including by us, and we expect to
use other systems and tools that incorporate ML or AI-based technologies in the future. The rapidly evolving nature of these technologies presents risks and
challenges, including with respect to opportunity costs, the establishment of durable governance frameworks, standards and best practices, and uncertainty
around return on investment. For example, algorithms may be flawed; data sets may be insufficient, of poor quality or contain biased information; and
inappropriate or controversial data practices could impair results. If the analyses that ML or AI-based software assist in producing are deficient or
inaccurate, we could be subjected to competitive harm, potential legal liability and brand or reputational harm. In addition, the use of ML or AI solutions
by our employees or third parties on which we rely could lead to the public disclosure of confidential information (including personal data or proprietary
information) in contravention of our internal policies, data protection or other applicable laws, or contractual requirements.
In addition to the risks inherent in all information technology systems—including cybersecurity, data confidentiality, system integrity, and
availability—the unique characteristics of AI can amplify existing risks and introduce new risks. These include an elevated risk of intellectual property loss
or infringement, whether through inadvertent disclosure, unauthorized training on proprietary data, or improper use of third-party content. AI tools lower
the barrier to access and replication, increasing the likelihood of intellectual property leakage, copyright violations, and regulatory non-compliance.
Additionally, ML or AI-based systems may be subject to novel cybersecurity risks, including attempts to manipulate model outputs, poison data, or extract
sensitive information, which could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our systems and data.
AI-specific risks also include so-called “hallucinations,” where systems generate inaccurate, misleading, or fabricated outputs that may not be
readily detectable, potentially affecting business decisions, customer trust, and regulatory posture. Model performance is highly dependent on the quality,
completeness, and appropriateness of underlying data. Flawed algorithms, biased or insufficient datasets, or controversial data practices may lead to
unreliable outcomes and reputational harm.
The deployment of AI in regulated environments presents additional complexity. Requirements related to validation, documentation, explainability, data
lineage, and change control may lengthen implementation timelines, increase costs, or trigger regulatory scrutiny, audit findings, or enforcement actions.
As regulatory expectations continue to mature globally, organizations must ensure that AI adoption aligns with existing compliance obligations and risk
management frameworks.
The misuse of AI solutions could also result in unauthorized access and use of personal data of our employees, clinical trial participants,
collaborators, or other third parties. In addition, the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies is rapidly evolving and uncertain, including
in the areas of intellectual property, cybersecurity, and privacy and data protection. Compliance with new or changing laws, regulations or industry
standards relating to AI may impose significant operational costs and may limit our ability to develop, deploy or use AI technologies. Failure to
appropriately respond to this evolving landscape may result in legal liability, regulatory action, loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, brand and
reputational harm, or lead to outcomes with unintended biases or other consequences, which could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm
to us and could have a material adverse effect on the way we operate our business, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay
dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Increasing scrutiny and evolving expectations from customers, regulators, governments, investors, lenders, employees, and other stakeholders with
respect to our environmental, social and governance practices may impose additional costs on us or expose us to new or additional risks.
Companies are facing increasing expectations and scrutiny from customers, regulators, governments, investors, lenders, employees and other
stakeholders related to their environmental, social and governance practices and disclosures. Investor advocacy groups, investment funds and influential
investors are also focused on these practices, including those related to the environment, climate change, health and safety, supply chain management,
diversity, labor conditions and human rights, both in our own operations and in our supply chain. New or evolving government regulations, including in the
EU, have resulted and could continue to result in new or more stringent forms of environmental, social and governance oversight and related costs,
including increased greenhouse gas limitations, and the expansion of mandatory and voluntary reporting, due diligence, and disclosure regarding
environmental, social and governance matters, which could materially negatively impact our
46

Table of Contents
business and operations. In parallel, environmental, social and governance initiatives have become increasingly controversial, and we may also face
scrutiny, reputational risk, lawsuits or market access restrictions as a result of our initiatives and disclosures. Complying with new, changing, and
sometimes divergent regulations will likely require us to modify or update certain of our practices, processes, and manufacturing systems, which could
require additional investment of time and resources or result in significant costs. Failure to adapt to or comply with government regulations, regulatory
requirements or investor or stakeholder expectations and standards could negatively impact our reputation, ability to do business with certain partners,
access to investors and capital, and our stock price, and could lead to novel forms of litigation, including shareholder litigation and governmental
investigations or enforcement actions, sanctions or fines related to environmental, social and governance matters.
In the EU, evolving “extended producer responsibility” regulations have been proposed or adopted with respect to public wastewater treatment
and use of plastics, among others. For example, as currently proposed, companies that manufacture, market, or supply pharmaceutical products will be
required to pay a significant portion of the cost of upgrading public wastewater treatment plants across EU member states to treat urban wastewater to
eliminate micropollutants. These and other similar regulations may significantly increase the cost of producing and supplying our pharmaceutical products,
limit our ability to supply certain products in certain markets, or may limit our competitiveness, which may adversely impact our market share, business
and operations.
In addition, a growing number of our customers, including certain government purchasers, have adopted, or may adopt, procurement policies that
include social and environmental requirements, including, for example, requirements to monitor and conduct third party audits, or these customers may
seek to include such provisions in their procurement contract terms and conditions. These social and environmental responsibility provisions and initiatives
are subject to change, vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and certain elements may be difficult and/or cost prohibitive for us to comply with given the
inherent complexity of our external supply chain and the global scope of our operations. In certain circumstances, in order to meet the requirements or
standards of our customers, we may be obligated to implement additional processes, modify our sourcing practices or make other operational choices which
may require additional investments of time and resources, increase our costs or result in inefficiencies. Alternatively, we may be ineligible to participate in
bids or tenders in certain markets, which may result in lost sales and revenues or decrease patient access to medicine.
Viatris has company wide sustainability goals in the areas of access; workplace culture; and the environment: climate change, water and waste.
Achievement of these goals depends on our development and execution of various operational strategies. The development and execution of these
strategies and achievement of our goals, including our near-term science based emissions reductions targets for scope 1, 2 and 3, are subject to risk and
uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. There are no assurances that we will be able to successfully develop or execute our strategies and
achieve our environmental, social and governance goals.
Any of the factors mentioned above, or the perception that we or our suppliers or contract manufacturers have not responded appropriately to the
growing concern for such issues, regardless of whether we are legally required to do so, may damage our reputation and have a material adverse effect on
our business, employee relations, access to investors and capital, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or
repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Our business and operations are subject to risks related to climate change.
The effects of global climate change present risks to our business. Extreme weather, natural disasters, power outages, or other conditions caused
by climate change could adversely impact our supply chain and the availability and cost of raw materials, water supply, and other components required for
the operation of our business, or result in the delay and/or disruption of our ability to deliver products. Such conditions could also result in physical damage
to our or our partners’ products, plants and distribution centers, our ability to operate in certain areas, as well as the infrastructure and facilities of hospitals,
medical care facilities and other customers. Our programs to plan for and mitigate risk and build resilience to the impacts of climate change may not be
successful, and the cost of implementing such programs may be significant. Current or future insurance arrangements may not provide protection for costs
that may arise from such events, particularly if such events are catastrophic in nature or occur in combination. In addition, regulations intended to limit
greenhouse gas emissions or water usage, such as greenhouse gas emission reduction obligations, carbon pricing, and taxes on emissions, fuel and energy,
or to mitigate the impacts of climate change may become more prevalent, which could increase our operating costs and the costs charged by suppliers.
These events could have a material adverse effect on the way we operate our business, including the resiliency of our supply chain, our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.

Finance Risks
There can be no guarantee that we will continue to pay dividends or repurchase shares under our share repurchase program.
Although Viatris currently intends to continue to pay quarterly dividends to its shareholders, there is no assurance that Viatris will declare and pay,
or have the ability to declare and pay, any dividends on its common stock in the future. Whether dividends will be paid, and the amount and frequency of
any such dividend payments, will depend upon a number of factors, including Viatris’ results of operations, cash flows, financial position, competitive or
commercial developments, contractual or statutory restrictions and any other factors considered relevant by the Viatris Board. Such payments, and the
amount and frequency thereof, are also subject to the other risks set forth in these risk factors. In addition, while the Board of Directors has authorized a $2
billion share repurchase program, of which $1.0 billion remains available as of February 26, 2026, there is no guarantee with respect to the timing or
amount of any future share repurchases, or that we will repurchase the full amount authorized under our current share repurchase program. Other factors,
including changes in tax or securities laws, such as the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 which imposes a corporate excise tax of 1% on net stock
repurchases, could also impact our share repurchases. A share repurchase program could affect our stock price and increase volatility, and any
announcement of a pause in, or termination of, a share repurchase program may result in a decrease in our stock price. Payment of a cash dividend or share
repurchases will reduce the amount of cash available to the Company for other activities, including repayment of debt, investment in the business, R&D,
business development activities, acquisitions, or other capital expenditures. If we are unable to, or choose not to, pay a quarterly dividend or repurchase
shares under our share repurchase program, this may have a negative impact on the perception of the Company as an investment opportunity by
shareholders or investment analysts, which may in turn negatively impact our stock price.
If tax authorities determine that the intercompany pricing applied to our cross-border arrangements is inconsistent with the arms’ length standard or
otherwise ineffective, our tax liabilities could increase.
We have potential tax exposures resulting from the varying application of statutes, regulations, and interpretations which include exposures on
intercompany pricing of cross-border arrangements among our subsidiaries (including intercompany loans, licenses, sales, and services agreements) in
relation to various aspects of our business, including manufacturing, marketing, sales, distribution and enabling functions. Although we believe our cross-
border arrangements among our subsidiaries are based upon internationally accepted standards and applicable law, tax authorities in various jurisdictions
may disagree with and subsequently challenge the amount of profits taxed in their country, which may result in an increased tax liability, including accrued
interest and penalties, which would cause our tax expense to increase and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results
of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
We may not be able to maintain competitive financial flexibility and our corporate tax rate which could adversely affect us and our shareholders.
We believe that our structure and operations give us the ability to achieve competitive financial flexibility and a competitive worldwide effective
corporate tax rate. We must make material assumptions underlying our expected tax rates, including regarding the effect of certain internal reorganization
transactions, intercompany transactions, and divestitures. We cannot give any assurance as to what our effective tax rate will be, however, due to
uncertainty regarding the tax policies of the jurisdictions where we operate, potential changes of laws and interpretations thereof, the potential for tax audits
or challenges, and other complexities. Our actual effective tax rate may vary from our expectation and that variance may be material. For example, in 2022
the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law which, among other things, provides for a corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on adjusted
financial statement income and an excise tax of 1% on corporate share repurchases. In addition, on July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful
Bill Act, which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including permanent extensions of most expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act provisions and international tax changes. Moreover, the rate of tax we pay in other jurisdictions may increase significantly upon the adoption and
implementation of the OECD Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion rule, which provides for a minimum 15% tax rate in jurisdictions where adopted. We
are continuing to evaluate the impact of these laws, and other proposed changes in corporate tax laws, which may significantly increase our global tax
liabilities. In addition, the tax laws of other jurisdictions could change in the future, and such changes could cause a material change in our effective tax
rate.
Any of the factors discussed above could materially increase our overall effective income tax rate, income tax expense and cash taxes paid and
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares,
and/or stock price.
Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions or exposure to additional income tax liabilities and changes in income tax laws and tax rulings may have
a significant adverse impact on our effective tax rate and income tax expense.

We are subject to income taxes in many jurisdictions. Significant analysis and judgment are required in determining our worldwide provision for
income taxes. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are
currently subject to tax audits, investigations and litigations in several jurisdictions, and may be subject to other audits, investigations or litigations in the
future. The final determination of any tax audits or related litigation could be materially different from our income tax provisions and accruals.
Additionally, changes in the effective tax rate as a result of a change in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes
in our overall profitability, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws or in their application, the results of audits and
the examination of previously filed tax returns and related challenges and assessments by taxing authorities, and continuing assessments of our tax
exposures could impact our tax liabilities, income tax expense and cash taxes paid, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Viatris may be subject to significant U.S. tax liabilities or be obligated to indemnify Pfizer for any such tax liability imposed on Pfizer in connection
with the Combination.
In connection with the Combination, Pfizer received a private letter ruling and opinion of counsel, each to the effect that, for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, would qualify as a tax-free “reorganization” and the Distribution would qualify as
a tax-free distribution. If the Distribution were determined not to have qualified for tax-free treatment, Pfizer would generally be subject to tax as if it sold
the Viatris common stock in a transaction taxable to Pfizer, which could result in a material tax liability that, under certain circumstances, Viatris may be
required to indemnify Pfizer against pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement. If Viatris was required to indemnify Pfizer for taxes resulting from the
Distribution or certain aspects of the Separation, that indemnification obligation could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on Viatris,
including with respect to our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Currency fluctuations and changes in exchange rates have impacted and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Although we report our financial results in U.S. Dollars, a significant portion of our revenues, indebtedness and other liabilities and our costs are
denominated in non-U.S. currencies, including among others the Chinese Renminbi, Euro, Swedish Krona, Indian Rupee, Korean Won, Japanese Yen,
Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and British Pound Sterling. Our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, have in the past been and
may in the future be adversely affected by certain movements in currency exchange rates. Defaults or restructurings in other countries could have a similar
adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. From time to time, we may implement currency hedges intended to reduce
our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, our hedging strategies may not be successful, and any of our unhedged foreign
exchange exposures will continue to be subject to market fluctuations.
In addition, Viatris also faces risks arising from currency devaluations and the imposition of cash repatriation restrictions and exchange controls.
Currency devaluations result in a diminished value of funds denominated in the currency of the country instituting the devaluation. Cash repatriation
restrictions and exchange controls may limit our ability to convert foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars or to remit dividends and other payments by our
foreign subsidiaries or businesses located in or conducted within a country imposing restrictions or controls. For example, in China the conversion of
currency in the “capital account” (e.g., capital items such as direct investments or loans) requires the approval of, or registration or filing with, relevant
governmental authorities in China, which could materially and adversely affect the ability of our Chinese operating subsidiaries and affiliated companies to
obtain foreign currencies through equity or debt financing or for capital expenditures, therefore impeding our overall business operations in China. Should
we determine the need to repatriate or convert cash held in countries that have significant restrictions or controls in place, including in China, we may be
unable to repatriate or convert such cash, or be unable to do so without incurring substantial costs.
The occurrence of any of the above risks could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
We have significant indebtedness, which could lead to adverse consequences or adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling
our obligations under such indebtedness, and any refinancing of this debt could be at significantly higher interest rates.
Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including but not limited to:
•
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
49

Table of Contents
•
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments, or repay debt, thereby reducing the
availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments, dividend payments or share repurchases, and
other general corporate purposes;
•
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, challenges and opportunities, and changes in our businesses and the markets in which we
operate;
•
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt service requirements, and
other financing needs;
•
increasing our vulnerability to increases in interest rates in general related to any of our indebtedness that bears interest at floating rates or when
refinancing maturing debt at higher rates;
•
increasing our exposure to currency fluctuations, since a significant portion of our indebtedness is denominated in currencies other than the U.S.
Dollar, such as our Euro and Japanese Yen denominated debt; and
•
placing us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that have less debt.
Our ability to service our indebtedness will depend on our future operating performance and financial results, which will be subject, in part, to
factors beyond our control, including interest rates and general economic, financial, and business conditions. If we do not have sufficient cash flow to
service our indebtedness, including the repayment of significant near-term indebtedness, we may need to refinance all or part of our existing indebtedness,
borrow more money, or sell securities or assets, some or all of which may not be available to us at acceptable terms or at all. In addition, we may need to
incur additional indebtedness in the future in the ordinary course of business. Although the terms of our credit agreements and our bond indentures allow us
to incur additional debt, this is subject to certain limitations which may preclude us from incurring the amount of indebtedness we otherwise desire.
A downgrade in the credit rating of Viatris or any indebtedness of Viatris or its subsidiaries could increase the cost of further borrowings or
refinancings of such indebtedness, limit access to sources of financing in the future or lead to other adverse consequences. We have in the past been and
may in the future be subject to ratings downgrades or negative outlooks by ratings agencies, which could negatively impact our ability to raise debt or
borrow funds in amounts or on terms that are favorable to us, if at all.
Our credit facilities, senior unsecured notes, commercial paper program, other outstanding indebtedness, and any additional indebtedness we incur
in the future impose, or may impose, significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability to, among other things, incur
additional indebtedness, make investments, pay certain dividends, prepay other indebtedness, sell assets, incur certain liens, enter into agreements with our
affiliates, or restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, merge or consolidate. In addition, our credit facilities require us to maintain specified
financial ratios. A breach of any of these covenants or our inability to maintain the required financial ratios could result in a default under the related
indebtedness. If a default occurs, the relevant lenders could elect to declare our indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be
immediately due and payable. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows,
ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
If we incur additional debt, the risks described above could intensify. If global credit markets contract, future debt financing may not be available
to us when required or may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, and as a result we may be unable to grow our business, take advantage of
business opportunities, respond to competitive pressures, or satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness. Any of the foregoing could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. Any future changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions used or necessary revisions to prior estimates, judgments or assumptions or
changes in accounting standards could lead to a restatement or revision to previously issued financial statements.
The consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements included in the periodic reports we file with the SEC are prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP involves making estimates, judgments and
assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and income. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently subject
to change in the future and any necessary revisions to prior estimates, judgments or assumptions could lead to a restatement. Furthermore, although we
have recorded reserves for certain critical accounting estimates, including litigation related contingencies based on estimates of probable future costs, actual
costs in the future could be substantially in excess of those reserves. Also, any new or revised accounting standards may require adjustments to previously
issued financial statements. Any such changes could result in corresponding changes to the amounts of liabilities, revenues, expenses and income and could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or
stock price.

We must maintain adequate internal controls and be able to provide an assertion as to the effectiveness of such controls on an annual basis.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports. We spend a substantial
amount of management and other employee time and resources to comply with laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public
disclosure. In the U.S., such regulations include the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC regulations and the NASDAQ listing standards. In particular,
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and
attestation as to the effectiveness of these controls by our independent registered public accounting firm. Additionally, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or
overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved
controls, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or
repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Viatris has suffered and in the future could suffer additional losses due to impairment charges.
Viatris has significant amounts of goodwill, IPR&D and intangible assets on its balance sheet. Viatris tests goodwill for impairment during the
second quarter of every fiscal year, and on an interim date should events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be
recoverable in accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. If the fair value of a reporting unit is revised downward due to declines in
business performance or other factors, an impairment under ASC 350 could result and a non-cash charge could be required. Viatris tests intangible assets
with indefinite lives for impairment on an annual basis and intangible assets and IPR&D with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. This assessment of the recoverability of intangible assets could result in an
impairment and a non-cash charge could be required. In addition, we have incurred and may in the future incur significant impairment charges or losses.
For instance, during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, the Company recorded significant goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment
charges. Such impairments or losses have in the past and could in the future materially affect Viatris’ business, financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
Viatris may be adversely affected by disruptions in the credit markets, including disruptions that reduce customers’ access to credit and increase the
costs to customers of obtaining credit.
The credit markets have historically been volatile and therefore it is not possible to predict the ability of Viatris’ customers to access short-term
financing and other forms of capital. If a disruption in the credit markets were to occur, Viatris could be unable to refinance its outstanding indebtedness on
reasonable terms or at all. Such a disruption could also pose a risk to Viatris’ business if customers or suppliers are unable to obtain financing to meet their
payment or delivery obligations. In addition, customers may decide to downsize, defer or cancel contracts which could negatively affect our revenue.
Interest rates continue to be higher than historical rates paid by Viatris. As such, any debt we refinance in 2026 or beyond may increase, even
substantially, our interest expense in future periods. Further, Viatris had approximately $259 million of floating rate debt as of December 31, 2025. A one
percentage point increase in the average interest rate of this debt would increase the combined interest expense by approximately $2.6 million per year.
Accordingly, for both potential new debt issuances and floating rate exposures, a spike in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and
cash flows.
Viatris has certain material obligations relating to defined benefit pension and termination benefit programs.
Viatris has certain material pension and post-employment benefit obligations associated with acquired businesses in both the U.S. and foreign
countries. Our obligations under these plans are significant and future funding obligations are subject to increased interest rates on asset and liability
calculations and changes in laws, which could materially increase costs to Viatris. Each of these liabilities and the related future payment obligations could
restrict cash available for Viatris’ operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments, share repurchases, and other requirements, and may
materially affect Viatris’ financial condition and liquidity.
General Risks
The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile, and the value of your investment could materially decline.
51

Table of Contents
Investors who hold shares of Viatris common stock may not be able to sell their shares at or above the price at which they acquired them. The
price of Viatris’ common stock has in the past and may continue to fluctuate materially from time to time, including as a result of the other risks described
herein, and we cannot predict the price of our common stock at any given time. In addition, the stock market in general, including the market for
pharmaceutical companies, has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations which may materially harm the market price of our common stock,
regardless of our operating performance. In addition, the price of our common stock may be affected by the valuations and recommendations of the
analysts who cover us, and if our results do not meet the analysts’ forecasts and expectations, the price of our common stock could decline as a result of
analysts lowering their valuations and recommendations or otherwise. Following periods of volatility in the market and/or in the price of a company’s
stock, securities class-action litigation actions have been instituted against companies (including Viatris) and may be instituted against us in the future.
Such litigation has in the past and may in the future result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock
price. In addition, if we or our stockholders offer or sell shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares
of our common stock, this or the possibility thereof, may depress the future trading price of our common stock and the voting power of our then existing
stockholders may be diluted if such a transaction were to occur.
The expansion of social media platforms presents new risks and challenges.
To the extent that we seek to use social media tools as a means to communicate about our products and/or business, there are uncertainties as to
the rules that apply to such communications, or as to the interpretations that authorities will apply to the rules that exist. As a result, despite our efforts to
monitor evolving social media communication guidelines and comply with applicable rules, there is risk that our use of social media for such purposes may
cause us to be found in violation of them. Our employees may knowingly or inadvertently make use of social media tools in ways that may not be aligned
with our social media strategy, may give rise to liability, or could lead to the loss of material non-public information, trade secrets or other intellectual
property, or public exposure of personal information (including sensitive personal information) of our employees, clinical trial patients, customers, and
others. In addition, negative posts or comments about us on any social media website could damage our reputation. Any of the above risks could have a
material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares,
and/or stock price.
Provisions in the Viatris Charter and Viatris Bylaws and of applicable law may prevent or delay an acquisition of Viatris, which could decrease the
trading price of Viatris common stock.
The Viatris Charter, Viatris Bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that may have the effect of deterring takeovers by making such takeovers
more expensive to the acquiror and by encouraging prospective acquirors to negotiate with the Viatris Board rather than to attempt a hostile takeover. These
provisions include rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at shareholder meetings and the right of the
Viatris Board to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval. Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business
combinations between Viatris and any holder of 15% or more of Viatris’ outstanding common stock.
These provisions are intended to protect Viatris’ stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring potential acquirors to
negotiate with the Viatris Board and by providing the Viatris Board with more time to assess any acquisition proposal. These provisions are not intended to
make Viatris immune from takeovers. However, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and could
delay or prevent an acquisition that the Viatris Board determines is not in the best interests of Viatris and its stockholders. Accordingly, if the Viatris Board
determines that a potential business combination transaction is not in the best interests of Viatris and its stockholders, but certain stockholders believe that
such a transaction would be beneficial to Viatris and its stockholders, such stockholders may elect to sell their shares in Viatris and the trading price of
Viatris common stock could decrease. These and other provisions of the Viatris Charter, the Viatris Bylaws and the DGCL could have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or other change in control, which may have a material adverse effect on Viatris’
business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
The exclusive forum provisions in the Viatris Charter could discourage lawsuits against Viatris and its directors and officers.
52

Table of Contents
The Viatris Charter provides that unless Viatris, through approval of the Viatris Board, otherwise consents in writing, the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismisses such action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, another
state court sitting in the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District
of Delaware), will be the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Viatris, any action or proceeding asserting a
claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employees of Viatris to Viatris or its stockholders, creditors or other
constituents, any action asserting a claim against Viatris or any of its directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to, or seeking to enforce any
right, obligation or remedy under, any provision of the DGCL or the Viatris Charter or the Viatris Bylaws, as each may be amended from time to time, any
action or proceeding asserting a claim against Viatris or any of its directors, officers or other employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine or any
action or proceeding as to which the DGCL (as it may be amended from time to time) confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware. The Viatris Charter also provides that unless Viatris (through approval of the Viatris Board) consents in writing to the selection of an alternative
forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the
resolution of any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other
companies’ charters and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with claims arising under federal securities
laws or otherwise, a court could find the exclusive forum provisions contained in the Viatris Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable.
These exclusive forum provisions may limit the ability of Viatris’ stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find
favorable for disputes with Viatris or its directors or officers, which may discourage such lawsuits against Viatris or its directors or officers. Alternatively, if
a court were to find these exclusive forum provisions inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or
proceedings described above, Viatris may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions or forums, which could
materially and adversely affect Viatris’ business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or
stock price.
Our business and operations could be negatively affected by pressures from outside of the control of the company, including, but not limited to,
shareholder actions, government regulations and disclosure requirements, and other market dynamics, which could cause us to incur significant
expenses, hinder execution of our business strategy and negatively impact our share price.
Shareholder actions, government regulations and disclosure requirements, and other market dynamics involving corporate governance,
environmental and social matters, human capital, strategic direction and operations have become increasingly prevalent. Shareholder challenges, extensive
government regulation, and the potential for additional intervention in these areas, may create a significant distraction or burden for our management and
employees, increase our costs, negatively impact our ability to execute our business plans, require our management to expend significant time and
resources, create uncertainties with respect to our financial position and operations, adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key employees or result
in loss of potential business opportunities with our current and potential customers and business partners. In addition, such actions, regulation and
intervention may cause significant fluctuations in our share price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions, uncertainties or other factors that
do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business, which could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

ITEM 1C.
Cybersecurity
Viatris operates in a complex and rapidly changing environment that involves many potential risks, including IT, information security,
cybersecurity, and AI risks. Risk management is an enterprise-wide objective and is subject to oversight by the Viatris Board and its committees. It is the
responsibility of Viatris’ management and employees to identify material risks to our business and to implement and administer risk management and
mitigation processes and programs, while also maintaining reasonable flexibility in how we operate. Our internal audit function coordinates cross
functionally to maintain the Company’s enterprise risk assessment, including the identification of key and emerging risks, and reviews and refreshes this
analysis quarterly with executive management. For each key or emerging risk identified, the Company establishes risk monitoring ownership, from which
quarterly updates are collected for executive management and the Viatris Board’s Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee.
With respect to cybersecurity risks, Viatris maintains a cybersecurity program that is aligned with the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, designed to govern, identify, protect, detect, respond to and recover from cybersecurity threats. Viatris’
cybersecurity program includes policies, procedures, awareness communications, testing, and training for employees (including mandatory training
programs for privileged users), as well as system monitoring, risk reduction, vulnerability and patch management and monitoring of external threats. The
Global Security team is responsible for defining and overseeing the execution of the Company’s cybersecurity program and strategy. The Viatris IT team,
led by the Chief Information Officer, is responsible for ongoing security operations such as maintaining firewalls and patch management. In addition, the
delivery of many cybersecurity programs relies on IT resources to execute the selection, delivery and implementation of security solutions, such as identity
and access management, end-point protection and end-of-life protocols.
The Company’s Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security, under the direction of the Company’s Chief Administrative and
Transformation Officer, reports quarterly to an internal risk committee of senior management, which includes the CEO, CFO, Chief Legal Officer, Chief
Administrative and Transformation Officer, Chief People and Corporate Affairs Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief
Supply Officer, Chief R&D Officer and Regional Presidents, as well as the Viatris Board on the progress of the cybersecurity program and overall security
status. Viatris’ current Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security has over 30 years of experience in cybersecurity within the
pharmaceutical industry.
As part of its cybersecurity program, Viatris has adopted a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan (CIRP) to establish a guide for Viatris’
leadership and incident response stakeholders through an “incident” – a single event or a set of anomalous and adverse “events” or, for purposes of the
CIRP, a change in a system, technology device or environment that could impact the confidentiality, integrity, availability or safety of Viatris’ data,
employees or assets, caused by malicious intent or accident and impacting Viatris’ network, computing systems, digital information, employees or assets.
The CIRP is managed by the Viatris global security team and their managed security service providers and is reviewed at least annually. Viatris tests the
CIRP through semi-annual technical exercises and periodically conducts executive tabletop exercises/scenarios. The CIRP provides an overview of critical
actions to take throughout the incident response lifecycle and contains a severity matrix used to guide the Company’s incident response stakeholders on
communication and escalation protocols. The severity of the incident guides the determination of the parties to whom the incident will be escalated, and the
Company may decide to seek assistance from third-party incident response vendors.
Viatris’ Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (CIRT) reports to the Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security and has the
role of responding to incidents and executing incident protocols. The CIRT is responsible for determining the potential impacts to the Company, including
type and severity, notifying appropriate parties pursuant to the CIRP and determining whether to engage a third-party incident response vendor, among
other responsibilities. Critical incidents require implementation of the global crisis plan and high severity incidents require notification to the executive
leadership team once such an incident is confirmed. The Company’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures also require (i) the Company’s Cybersecurity
function to monitor and escalate, as appropriate, cybersecurity incidents or series of related “incidents” (including with respect to any third party provider
to the Company of IT services) and (ii) the Disclosure Committee to determine, without unreasonable delay, the materiality of any such escalated
cybersecurity incidents or series of related incidents with input from Global Compliance, Global Privacy, Global Security, Legal, Finance and other groups,
as appropriate.
The Company participates in several industry and third-party threat monitoring and information-sharing services, and these engagements provide
insight into vulnerabilities and threats which are incorporated into the security operations and IT remediation. Key aspects of the cybersecurity program are
also provided by third-party managed security providers, including first- and second-line support for incident response and the Company’s vulnerability
assessment process. Our suppliers,
54

Table of Contents
subcontractors and third-party service providers, including third-party managed security providers, are subject to cybersecurity obligations and controls. We
conduct initial risk assessments of third-party suppliers and service providers based on various factors and then review and monitor these third-party
suppliers and service providers based on their relative assessed level of risk. We also require our suppliers, subcontractors and third-party service providers
to agree to cybersecurity-related contractual terms and conditions of purchase.
The Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee of the Viatris Board is responsible for reviewing management’s exercise of its responsibility to
identify, assess, and manage material risks not allocated to the Viatris Board or another Committee of the Viatris Board, including data security programs
and cybersecurity and IT. In the event of a severe cybersecurity incident, such as a ransomware attack or other incident that has a severe adverse effect on
Viatris’ operations, critical systems or sensitive data, or which may cause severe reputational damage, executive management may determine that it is
necessary to notify the Viatris Board or the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee about such a cybersecurity incident immediately. Otherwise, the
Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee receives reports from executive management on data security, cybersecurity and information security-related
matters on at least a quarterly basis, including with respect to related risks, risk management, risk reduction programs, and relevant legislative, regulatory,
and technical developments. On a biannual basis, the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee and chairs of each other Committee of the Viatris Board
receive a cybersecurity update from the Company’s Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security, the Chief Compliance Officer and the
Chief Information Officer. The full Viatris Board receives a report on the respective quarterly discussions from the Chair of the Compliance and Risk
Oversight Committee each quarter.
We and our suppliers, partners, customers and vendors have in the past experienced and will in the future likely continue to experience
cybersecurity threats and incidents, including attacks on and compromises of our systems. Although we do not believe such cybersecurity threats or
incidents have had a significant impact on us to date, there is no guarantee that a future cybersecurity threat or incident will be detected and remediated to
not have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial conditions, cash flows or results of operations. For additional information
regarding how cybersecurity threats are reasonably likely to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to
pay dividends, repurchase shares, and/or stock price, see Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors – “We are increasingly dependent on IT and information systems and
our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data leakage risks.” of this Form 10-K.

Company Overview
Viatris is a global healthcare company whose breadth and scale we believe make it uniquely positioned to address healthcare needs globally. With
a mission to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life, Viatris supplies high-quality medicines to approximately 1 billion patients
around the world each year. The Company has a global footprint, an extensive portfolio of medicines that is well-diversified across therapeutic areas, a one-
of-a-kind global supply chain designed to reach more people when and where they need them, and the scientific expertise to address some of the world's
most enduring health challenges.
Viatris’ executive management team is focused on ensuring that the Company is optimally structured and efficiently resourced to deliver
sustainable value to patients, shareholders, customers and other key stakeholders. The Company operates in more than 165 countries and territories with
more than 30,000 employees. The Company has 27 manufacturing, packaging, and distribution sites worldwide, more than 1,400 approved molecules, and
what we believe is industry leading commercial, R&D, regulatory, manufacturing, legal and medical expertise. Viatris’ portfolio consists of generics
(including complex products), globally recognized iconic brands, and an expanding portfolio of innovative medicines. Viatris is headquartered in the U.S.,
with global centers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Shanghai, China and Hyderabad, India.
Viatris has four reportable segments: Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ, and Emerging Markets. The Company reports segment
information on the basis of markets and geography, which reflects its focus on bringing its large and diversified portfolio of branded and generic products,
including complex products, to people in markets everywhere. Our Developed Markets segment comprises our operations primarily in North America and
Europe. Our Greater China segment includes our operations in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Our JANZ segment consists of our operations in
Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Our Emerging Markets segment encompasses our presence in more than 125 countries with developing markets and
emerging economies including in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East as well as the Company’s ARV franchise.
Certain Market and Industry Factors
The global pharmaceutical industry is a highly competitive and highly regulated industry. As a result, we face a number of industry-specific
factors and challenges, which can significantly impact our results. The following discussion highlights some of these key factors and market conditions.
The process of obtaining regulatory approval to manufacture and market new branded and generic pharmaceutical products is rigorous, time
consuming, costly, and inherently unpredictable. Complex generic products are often more difficult, costly and time-consuming to receive regulatory
approval and bring to market compared with commodity generic pharmaceutical products. Any delay in regulatory approval could impact the commercial
or financial success of a product. Regulatory approval, if and when obtained, may be limited in scope. Even if regulatory approvals for new products are
obtained, the success of those products is dependent upon market acceptance.
Generic products, particularly in the U.S., generally contribute most significantly to revenues and gross margins at the time of their launch, and
even more so in periods of market exclusivity, or in periods of limited generic competition. As such, the timing of new product introductions can have a
significant impact on the Company’s financial results. The entrance into the market of additional competition generally has a negative impact on the
volume and pricing of the affected products. Additionally, pricing is often affected by factors outside of the Company’s control. Conversely, generic
products generally experience less volatility over a longer period of time in Europe as compared to the U.S., primarily due to the role of government
oversight of healthcare systems in the region. In addition, U.S. governmental agencies provide funding for certain products in our Emerging Markets
region. We expect that any reduction in that funding will have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
For branded products, the majority of the product’s commercial value is usually realized during the period in which the product has market
exclusivity. In the U.S. and some other countries, when market exclusivity expires and generic versions of a
59

Table of Contents
product are approved and marketed, there can often be very substantial and rapid declines in the branded product’s sales. For example, generic entry for
Amitiza® 24 μg may occur in Japan in June 2026 depending on the outcome of patent litigation.
Certain markets in which we do business outside of the U.S. have undergone government-imposed price reductions, and further government-
imposed price reductions are expected in the future. Such measures, along with the tender systems discussed below, are likely to have a negative impact on
sales and gross profit in these markets. However, government initiatives in certain markets that appear to favor generic products could help to mitigate this
unfavorable effect by increasing rates of generic substitution and penetration.
Additionally, a number of markets in which we operate outside of the U.S. have implemented, or may implement, tender systems for generic
pharmaceuticals in an effort to lower prices. Generally speaking, tender systems can have an unfavorable impact on sales and profitability. Under such
tender systems, manufacturers submit bids that establish prices for generic pharmaceutical products. Upon winning the tender, the winning company will
receive priority placement for a period of time. The tender system often results in companies underbidding one another by proposing lower pricing in order
to win the tender. Sales continue to be negatively affected by the impact of tender systems in certain countries.
In addition to the impact of competition, government pricing actions and other measures designed to reduce healthcare costs, our results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition could also be affected by other risks of doing business internationally, including the impact of inflation,
elections, geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine and related trade controls, sanctions,
supply chain disruptions and staffing challenges and other economic considerations, longer review, response and approval times as a result of evolving
regulatory priorities and reductions in personnel at health agencies, the potential for adverse impacts from future tariffs and trade restrictions, foreign
currency exchange fluctuations, public health epidemics, changes in intellectual property legal protections and other regulatory changes.
Recent Developments
2026 Restructuring Program
In 2025, the Company initiated an EWSR to enable the Company to build a more focused, efficient and future-ready organization and position the
Company for sustained growth beginning in 2026. On February 26, 2026, the Company announced the results of its EWSR, and as a part of the review,
committed to and began implementation of certain restructuring activities. These restructuring activities are expected to optimize the Company’s
commercial capabilities, enabling functions, R&D, medical affairs and regulatory activities, and sourcing, manufacturing and supply chain activities,
including inventory optimization. As a result, the Company expects a global workforce reduction of up to approximately 10%. The Company anticipates
that these restructuring activities, as well as associated costs and savings, will be completed primarily over the next three years.
The Company expects to record charges for costs associated with the restructuring activities of the EWSR. For the committed restructuring
activities, the Company expects to incur total pre-tax charges ranging between $700 million and $850 million. Such charges are expected to include
between $50 million and $100 million of non-cash charges mainly related to accelerated depreciation and asset impairment charges, including inventory
write-offs. The remaining estimated cash costs of between $650 million and $750 million are expected to be primarily related to severance and employee
benefits expense, as well as other costs, including those related to contract terminations, vendor consolidations, product transfer costs and network related
simplification and modernization costs. In addition, management believes the potential savings related to these committed restructuring activities will be
between $600 million and $700 million once fully implemented, with most of these savings expected to improve operating cash flow.
Acquisition of Aculys Pharma
On October 15, 2025, the Company acquired Aculys Pharma, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on commercializing innovative
treatments for neurological conditions. Viatris received rights to develop and commercialize pitolisant and Spydia®, two assets in the CNS therapy area,
further expanding Viatris' portfolio of innovative products in Japan. As part of the transaction, Viatris acquired exclusive development and
commercialization rights in Japan for pitolisant, a selective/inverse agonist of the histamine H3 receptor. One indication is for the treatment of excessive
daytime sleepiness or
cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy and the second is for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness
associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The Japanese NDAs for both indications have been submitted to the Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical
Devices Agency and are under review by the agency. The transaction also includes exclusive rights in Japan and certain other markets in the Asia-Pacific
region for Spydia® Nasal Spray, which was approved in Japan in
60

Table of Contents
June 2025 for the treatment of status epilepticus and launched in December 2025. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company made a
$35.0 million upfront payment to Aculys Pharma shareholders as consideration for the acquisition, with additional consideration contingent upon the
achievement of specified regulatory and commercial milestones, and royalties on net sales. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with
the upfront payment expensed as Acquired IPR&D in the fourth quarter of 2025.
CCPS in Biocon Biologics
In December 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements with Biocon for the sale of the Company’s equity stake in Biocon Biologics.
Under the terms of the definitive agreements, Biocon acquired all of Viatris’ CCPS in Biocon Biologics for total consideration of $815.0 million, consisting
of $400.0 million in cash and $415.0 million in newly issued equity shares of Biocon, which are listed and traded on the National Stock Exchange of India.
The transaction closed during the first quarter of 2026 and the shares are subject to a six-month lock up period. In addition, the terms of the definitive
agreements accelerate the expiration of biosimilars non-compete restrictions previously placed on Viatris in 2022 in connection with Viatris’ sale of its
biosimilars portfolio and related commercial and other capabilities to Biocon Biologics. These restrictions expired immediately at the time of close for all
ex-U.S. markets and will expire in November 2026 for U.S. markets.
Manufacturing Facilities
Following an inspection by the FDA at our oral finished dose manufacturing facility in Indore, India in 2024, the FDA issued a warning letter and
an import alert related to this facility. The import alert affects 11 products that will no longer be accepted into the U.S. until the warning letter is lifted.
Following the substance of FDA’s original inspection observations, the Company immediately implemented a comprehensive remediation plan at
the site. During 2025, we made substantial progress on our remediation activities at the facility, including but not limited to related personnel actions.
Additionally, we have engaged independent third-party subject matter experts to support the remediation plan.
We have been in regular communication with the FDA during this process and will continue to work to ensure that the FDA is satisfied with the
steps we have taken to resolve all the points raised. Our responses to the warning letter and import alert were submitted within the required time periods.
The facility will be subject to a reinspection by the FDA. The timing of the reinspection will be determined by the FDA; however, we anticipate that the
facility will be ready for reinspection in 2026.
While product continues to be shipped from the Indore facility to markets outside the U.S., as expected, we have also experienced a negative
impact in other markets during 2025, including the ARV business in Emerging Markets and select generic products in Europe. The estimated negative
impact to total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 versus the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $370 million.
In mid-February 2026, a fire occurred in a service area at the Company's oral solid dose manufacturing facility in Nashik, India. Manufacturing at
the facility has been temporarily suspended and the Company currently expects to resume operations beginning in April 2026. The Company believes it has
certain insurance coverages for losses, including for assets and business interruption. In the event the plant cannot be returned to normal operations or the
Company’s insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate, this event could have a negative impact on our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
We take very seriously our continued and comprehensive oversight of our entire manufacturing network. Patient safety remains our primary and
unwavering focus. We will work closely with our customers to mitigate any possible supply disruptions and meet the needs of the patients we serve.
Acquisition of Idorsia Products
On March 15, 2024, the Company acquired exclusive global development and commercialization rights to two Phase 3 assets from Idorsia, as well
as the potential to add additional innovative assets in the future. Under the terms of the original agreements, the development programs and certain
personnel for selatogrel and cenerimod were transferred to Viatris from Idorsia in exchange for an upfront payment to Idorsia of $350 million, potential
contingent milestone payments (including $300 million payable upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones, and $2.1 billion
payable upon the achievement of certain tiered sales milestones), as well as potential contingent tiered sales royalties. Viatris has worldwide
commercialization rights for both selatogrel and cenerimod (which excluded, for cenerimod only, Japan, South Korea and certain countries in the Asia-
Pacific region). A joint development committee was formed to oversee the development of the
61

Table of Contents
ongoing Phase 3 programs through regulatory approval. The agreements also provided Viatris a right of first refusal and a right of first negotiation for
certain other assets in Idorsia’s pipeline. Viatris and Idorsia are both contractually obligated to contribute to the development costs for both programs,
which are expected to be incurred through 2027. There are risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of these programs,
including but not limited to the high cost and uncertainty of conducting clinical trials (particularly with respect to new and/or complex or innovative drugs),
obtaining approval by relevant regulatory bodies and our partner’s financial condition. Refer to Note 4 Acquisitions and Other Transactions included in
Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
On February 25, 2025, in order to preserve the ongoing continuity of the development programs for selatogrel and cenerimod considering certain
capital structuring steps announced by Idorsia to secure its ongoing operations, Viatris and Idorsia entered into a letter agreement to amend certain terms of
the original agreements described above. Under the terms of the letter agreement, Viatris received additional territory rights in Japan, South Korea and
certain other countries in the Asia-Pacific region for cenerimod, a $250 million reduction in contingent milestone payments, including $200 million of
development milestones, and additional personnel to expedite transitioning the development programs to Viatris in exchange for Viatris assuming $100
million of Idorsia’s obligation to contribute to development costs. In addition, the joint development committee has been replaced with a transition
committee to oversee the transition of both development programs to Viatris.
Goodwill Impairment
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually on April 1st or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company experienced a sharp and sustained decline in its share
price and significantly increased uncertainty and volatility in the geopolitical and economic environments in which the Company operates. As a result of
these factors, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred for each of its reporting units and performed an interim goodwill impairment
test as of March 31, 2025 and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.94 billion as a result of the interim goodwill impairment test
performed.

A detailed discussion of the Company’s financial results can be found below in the section titled “Results of Operations.” As part of this
discussion, we also report sales performance using the non-GAAP financial measures of “constant currency” net sales and total revenues. These measures
provide information on the change in net sales and total revenues assuming that foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior and
current period. The comparisons presented at constant currency rates reflect comparative local currency sales at the prior year’s foreign exchange rates. We
routinely evaluate our net sales and total revenues performance at constant currency so that these results can be viewed without the impact of foreign
currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating a period-to-period comparison of our operational activities, and believe that this presentation also provides
useful information to investors for the same reason.
More information about non-GAAP measures used by the Company as part of this discussion, including adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross
margins, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted EPS (all of which are defined below) can be found in Part II, Item 7 under Results of
Operations and Results of Operations — Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Currency impact is shown as unfavorable (favorable).
The constant currency percentage change is derived by translating net sales or revenues for the current period at prior year comparative period
exchange rates, and in doing so shows the percentage change from 2025 constant currency net sales or revenues to the corresponding amount in
the prior year.
Reductions were driven primarily by the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that have closed during 2024 and the
Indore Impact.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, other revenues in Developed Markets, JANZ, and Emerging Markets were approximately $38.1 million,
$3.9 million, and $7.5 million, respectively.
Amounts exclude intersegment revenue which eliminates on a consolidated basis.
Total Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported total revenues of $14.30 billion, compared to $14.74 billion for the comparable
prior year period, representing a decrease of $439.4 million, or 3%. Total revenues include both net sales and other revenues from third parties. Net sales
for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $14.25 billion, compared to $14.69 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of
$442.4 million, or 3%. Other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $49.5 million, compared to $46.5 million for the comparable prior year
period.
Net sales decreased by approximately $478.0 million, or 3%, due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that
closed during 2024. The favorable impact of foreign currency translation was approximately $177.7 million, or 1%, primarily reflecting changes in the U.S.
Dollar as compared to the currencies of subsidiaries in the EU. On a constant currency basis, net sales from the remaining business decreased by
approximately $142.1 million, or 1%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period, driven by net base business erosion of
approximately $465.8 million, of which approximately $370 million related to the Indore Impact. This decrease was partially offset by new product sales,
primarily in Developed Markets, of approximately $323.7 million. New product sales include new products launched in 2025 and the carryover impact of
new products, including business development, launched within the last twelve months.
From time to time, a limited number of our products may represent a significant portion of our net sales, gross profit and net earnings. Generally,
this is due to the timing of new product introductions, seasonality, and the amount, if any, of additional competition in the market. Our top ten products in
terms of net sales, in the aggregate, represented approximately 36% and 33% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net sales are derived from our four reporting segments: Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ and Emerging Markets.
Developed Markets Segment
Net sales from Developed Markets decreased by $415.4 million, or 5%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 when compared to the prior year.
Net sales decreased by approximately $372.7 million, or 4%, due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that closed
during 2024. The favorable impact of foreign currency translation was

approximately $213.2 million, or 2%. Constant currency net sales from the remaining business decreased by approximately $255.9 million, or 3%, driven
primarily by lower net sales of certain existing products, including lenalidomide and everolimus in the U.S., as a result of the Indore Impact of
approximately $283 million, partially offset by new product sales. Net sales within North America totaled approximately $3.39 billion and net sales within
Europe totaled approximately $5.12 billion.
Greater China Segment
Net sales from Greater China increased by $166.0 million, or 8%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 when compared to the prior year. The
unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation was approximately $1.5 million. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $168.2 million,
or 8%, when compared to the prior year, driven primarily by strong growth across multiple channels, including e-commerce, retail, and private hospitals, as
well as benefits of timing of customer purchasing patterns. Divestitures did not have a significant impact on net sales in either period and the Indore Impact
during the year ended December 31, 2025 was not significant.
JANZ Segment
Net sales from JANZ decreased by $152.4 million, or 11%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 when compared to the prior year. Net sales
decreased by approximately $24.0 million, or 2%, due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that closed during 2024.
The decrease was also partially driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $15.5 million, or 1%. Constant currency
net sales from the remaining business decreased by approximately $112.9 million, or 8%, when compared to the prior year, driven primarily by lower net
sales of existing products in Japan and Australia due to government price reductions and additional competition, and by the Indore Impact of approximately
$9 million.
Emerging Markets Segment
Net sales from Emerging Markets decreased by $40.6 million, or 2%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 when compared to the prior year. Net
sales decreased by approximately $80.6 million, or 4%, due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that closed during
2024. The decrease in net sales was also partially driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $18.5 million, or 1%.
Constant currency net sales from the remaining business increased by approximately $58.5 million, or 3%, when compared to the prior year, primarily
driven by new products in certain Latin American countries and higher volumes and pricing of existing products in certain Middle Eastern and Asian
countries. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes in our ARV business, mainly as a result of the Indore Impact of approximately $77
million.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales increased from $9.12 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $9.29 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025. The
increase in cost of sales was largely driven by higher costs associated with other special items, which are described further in the section titled Use of Non-
GAAP Financial Measures, and by product mix as a result of the Indore Impact. These increases were partially offset by the impact of the decrease in net
sales, and lower IPR&D intangible asset impairment charges. Refer to Note 8 Goodwill and Intangible Assets included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K
for more information.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $5.01 billion and gross margins were 35%. For the year ended December 31, 2024, gross
profit was $5.62 billion and gross margins were 38%. The changes in gross profit and gross margins are primarily related to the increase in cost of sales.
Adjusted gross margins were approximately 56% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 58% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expense
R&D expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $965.9 million, compared to $808.7 million for the prior year, an increase of $157.2
million. This increase was primarily the result of higher expenses for the selatogrel and cenerimod development programs.
Acquired IPR&D
Acquired IPR&D expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $48.3 million, compared to $28.3 million for the prior year, an increase of
$20.0 million. The increase was primarily due to an upfront payment related to the acquisition of Aculys Pharma of $35.0 million recorded during the
fourth quarter of 2025, and an upfront licensing payment for rights to cenerimod in Japan, South Korea and certain countries in the Asia-Pacific region
during the first quarter of 2025. This was partially offset by an upfront licensing payment of $25.0 million to Lexicon related to sotagliflozin recorded
during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
SG&A expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3.79 billion, compared to $4.10 billion for the prior year, a decrease of $310.5
million. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of the divestitures, and lower acquisition and divestiture-related costs of approximately $205.7
million.
Impairment of Goodwill
In conjunction with an interim goodwill impairment test performed as of March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of
$2.94 billion in the first quarter of 2025, allocated across the North America, Europe, JANZ, and Emerging Markets reporting units. Following that
impairment, there was no remaining goodwill in the JANZ reporting unit. The Company also performed its annual goodwill impairment test on April 1,
2025, which resulted in no further impairment charges being recorded. Refer to Note 8 Goodwill and Intangible Assets in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K
for more information.
During the prior year, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $321.0 million related to its JANZ reporting unit in conjunction
with its annual goodwill impairment test performed as of April 1, 2024.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $471.3 million, compared to $550.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024,
a decrease of $78.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of 2024 debt repayments.
Other Expense (Income), Net
Other expense (income), net includes gains and losses from divestitures of businesses, changes in the fair value of equity securities,
extinguishment of debt, foreign exchange, expense (income) related to post-employment benefit plans, TSA income, and interest and dividend income.
Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $530.6 million, compared to $83.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an
increase of $447.3 million.
The increase was primarily driven by a loss of $534.8 million recorded in the current year period as a result of changes in the fair value of the
CCPS in Biocon Biologics, compared to a net gain in the prior year period of $(373.5) million, lower interest income of $56.6 million, and lower TSA
income of $30.5 million. The reduction in the fair value of the CCPS in Biocon Biologics was primarily the result of the Company entering into definitive
agreements with Biocon for the sale of the Company’s equity stake in Biocon Biologics. Under the terms of the definitive agreements, Biocon acquired all
of Viatris’ CCPS in Biocon Biologics for total consideration of $815.0 million.
This was partially offset by: (1) a decrease in loss on divestitures of $298.5 million compared to the prior year period; (2) charges of
$184.6 million recorded in the prior year related to the impairment of our equity investment in Mapi and advances for GA Depot inventory (refer to Note
19 Licensing and Other Partner Agreements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information); and (3) a gain on debt extinguishments of
$16.5 million recorded in the prior year.
Income Tax (Benefit) Provision
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $150.1 million, compared to an income tax provision of
$11.0 million for the prior year, a change of $161.1 million. The benefit in the current year period is primarily driven by the loss before income taxes,
partially offset by the negative impact of the goodwill impairment charge, for which minimal tax benefit was realized, and a $17.7 million accrual related to
the resolution of the previously disclosed Swedish tax matter. The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes a tax benefit related
to certain gains on the sale of subsidiaries in connection with the divestiture of the OTC Business which were partially exempt from tax. This benefit was
partially offset by the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2024, for which no tax benefit was realized. The current year and prior
year provisions were also impacted by the levels of income and the changing mix at which it is earned in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

2024 Compared to 2023
Discussions of 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2024 and 2023 are not included in this Form 10-K, and can be found in
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Whenever the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, we provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most
directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the
reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a
supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally,
since these are not measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning across companies,
or as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures or measures with the same title used by other
companies.
Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, measuring its operating performance, and incentive-based awards.
Primarily due to acquisitions, divestitures and other significant events which may impact comparability of our periodic operating results, we believe that an
evaluation of our ongoing operations (and comparisons of our current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure
of our financial results was limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures are
useful supplemental information for our investors and when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most
directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations. The financial
performance of the Company is measured by senior management, in part, using adjusted metrics as described below, along with other performance metrics.
The Company’s use of such non-GAAP measures is governed by an adjusted reporting policy maintained by the Company and such non-GAAP measures
are reviewed in detail with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Adjusted Cost of Sales and Adjusted Gross Margin
We use the non-GAAP financial measure “adjusted cost of sales” and the corresponding non-GAAP financial measure “adjusted gross margin.”
The principal items excluded from adjusted cost of sales include restructuring, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, and other special items, purchase
accounting amortization and other related items, and share-based compensation expense, which are described in greater detail below.
Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share (“adjusted EPS”) are non-GAAP financial measures and provide an alternative
view of performance used by management. Management believes that, primarily due to acquisitions, divestitures and other significant events, an evaluation
of the Company’s ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of
its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that adjusted net earnings and
adjusted EPS are important internal financial metrics related to the ongoing operating performance of the Company, and are therefore useful to investors
and that their understanding of our performance is enhanced by these measures. Actual internal and forecasted operating results and annual budgets used by
management include adjusted net earnings and adjusted EPS.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believes are appropriate to provide additional information to
investors to demonstrate the Company’s ability to comply with financial debt covenants and assess the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness.
The Company also believes that adjusted EBITDA better focuses management on the Company’s underlying operational results and true business
performance and is used, in part, for management’s incentive compensation. We calculate EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) adjusted for income
tax provision (benefit), interest expense and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is further adjusted for share-based compensation expense, litigation
settlements and other contingencies, net, gain (loss) on divestitures of businesses, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, restructuring, acquisition
and divestiture-related and other special items to determine adjusted EBITDA. These adjustments are generally permitted under our credit agreement in
calculating adjusted EBITDA for determining compliance with our debt covenants.
67

Table of Contents
The significant items excluded from adjusted cost of sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted EPS include:
Purchase Accounting Amortization and Other Related Items
The ongoing impact of certain amounts recorded in connection with acquisitions of both businesses and assets is excluded from adjusted cost of
sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted EPS. These amounts include the amortization of intangible assets, inventory step-up, property,
plant and equipment step-up, intangible asset impairment charges, including for IPR&D, and impairment of goodwill. For the acquisition of businesses
accounted for under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, these purchase accounting impacts are excluded regardless of the financing
method used for the acquisitions, including the use of cash, long-term debt, the issuance of common stock, contingent consideration or any combination
thereof.
Fair Value Adjustments, Including Contingent Consideration
The impact of changes to the fair value of assets and liabilities, including contingent and deferred consideration and non-marketable equity
investments, and the related accretion income or expense are excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted EPS because they are
not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations due to the variability of the amounts and the lack of predictability as to the occurrence and/or timing
and management believes their exclusion is helpful to understanding the underlying, ongoing operational performance of the business.
Share-based Compensation Expense
Share-based compensation expense is excluded from adjusted cost of sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted EPS. Our share-
based compensation programs have become increasingly weighted toward performance-based compensation, which leads to variability and to a lack of
predictability as to the occurrence and/or timing of amounts incurred. As such, management believes the exclusion of such amounts on an ongoing basis is
helpful to understanding the underlying operational performance of the business.
Restructuring, Acquisition and Divestiture-Related Costs and Other Special Items
Costs related to restructuring, acquisition and divestiture-related activities and other actions are excluded from adjusted cost of sales, adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted EPS, as applicable. These amounts include items such as:
•
Costs related to formal restructuring programs and actions, including costs associated with facilities to be closed or divested, employee
separation costs, impairment charges, accelerated depreciation, incremental manufacturing variances, equipment relocation costs,
decommissioning and other restructuring related costs;
•
Certain acquisition and divestiture costs, including costs relating to integration and planning, contractual obligations, including under supply
agreements, advisory and legal fees, certain financing related costs, certain reimbursements related to the Company’s obligation to reimburse
Pfizer for certain financing and transaction related costs under the Business Combination Agreement and Separation and Distribution
Agreement, certain other TSA related set-up and exit costs, and other business transformation and/or optimization initiatives, which are not
part of a formal restructuring program, including employee separation and post-employment costs;
•
Other costs, incurred from time to time, related to certain special events or activities that lead to gains or losses, including, but not limited to,
incremental manufacturing variances, contractual termination costs, certain remediation activities, asset write-downs, including other-than-
temporary impairments of investments in equity or debt instruments, or liability adjustments;
•
Certain costs to further develop and optimize our global enterprise resource planning systems, operations and supply chain;
•
Gains or losses from divestitures, including impairments of held for sale assets; and
•
The impact of changes related to uncertain tax positions are excluded from adjusted net earnings and adjusted EPS. In addition, tax
adjustments to adjusted earnings are recorded to present items on an after-tax basis consistent with the presentation of adjusted net earnings
and adjusted EPS.
The Company has undertaken restructurings and other optimization initiatives of differing types, scope and amount during the covered periods
and, therefore, these charges should not be considered non-recurring; however, management excludes these amounts from adjusted cost of sales, adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted EPS because it believes it is helpful to understanding the underlying, ongoing operational performance of the
business.

Litigation Settlements, Net
Charges and gains related to legal matters, such as those discussed in Note 20 Litigation included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K are generally
excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted EPS. Normal, ongoing defense costs of the Company made in the normal course of
our business are not excluded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities, which was $2.32 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025. We
believe that net cash provided by operating activities and available liquidity will continue to allow us to meet our needs for working capital, capital
expenditures, interest and principal payments on debt obligations, dividend payments, and share repurchases. Nevertheless, our ability to satisfy our
working capital requirements and debt service obligations, and fund planned capital expenditures, share repurchases, or dividend payments, will
substantially depend upon our future operating performance (which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions), and financial, business and other
factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $13.0 million to $2.32 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net
cash provided by operating activities of $2.30 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities is derived from net
(loss) earnings adjusted for non-cash operating items, including impairment of goodwill and fair value adjustments related to the Biocon Biologics CCPS
investment, gains and losses attributed to investing and financing activities and changes in operating assets and liabilities resulting from timing differences
between the receipts and payments of cash, including changes in cash primarily reflecting the timing of cash collections from customers, payments to
vendors and employees and tax payments in the ordinary course of business.
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was principally due to the timing of cash payments and collections, partially offset by
lower operating earnings, including as a result of divestitures that closed in 2024, and the Indore Impact.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $427.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net cash from investing activities
of $1.80 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.23 billion.

Refer to the consolidated statements of cash flows in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional details on other significant sources and uses
of cash during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.32 billion at December 31, 2025. The majority of our cash is invested in U.S. government money market
funds and in bank deposits. In order to support our global operations, we maintain significant cash and cash equivalents within the global banking system
with the majority of this at Global Systemically Important Banks. We monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents
on a regular basis. Our primary emphasis is on the safety of the principal. Where possible, we diversify our cash and cash equivalents among counterparties
to minimize exposure to any one counterparty. The Company anticipates having sufficient liquidity, including existing borrowing capacity under the 2024
Revolving Facility, Commercial Paper Program, and Receivables Facility combined with cash to be generated from operations, to fund foreseeable cash
needs without requiring the repatriation of non-U.S. cash. Should we determine the need to repatriate or convert cash held in countries that have significant
restrictions or controls in place, including in China, we may be unable to repatriate or convert such cash, or be unable to do so without incurring substantial
costs.
The Company has access to $3.5 billion under the 2024 Revolving Facility which matures in September 2029. Up to $1.65 billion of the 2024
Revolving Facility may be used to support borrowings under our Commercial Paper Program. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any
borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program or the 2024 Revolving Facility.

The Company has a Receivables Facility for up to an aggregate amount of $600 million which expires in April 2028. As of December 31, 2025,
the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Facility.
Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, certain of our accounts receivable secure the amounts borrowed and cannot be used to pay our other
debts or liabilities. The amount that we may borrow at a given point in time is determined based on the amount of qualifying accounts receivable that are
present at such point in time. Borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Facility bear interest at the applicable base rates plus applicable margins and
are included as a component of short-term borrowings, while the accounts receivable securing these obligations remain as a component of accounts
receivable, net, in our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the agreement governing the Receivables Facility contains various customary affirmative
and negative covenants, and customary default and termination provisions.
We have entered into accounts receivable factoring agreements with financial institutions to sell certain of our non-U.S. accounts receivable.
These transactions are accounted for as sales and result in a reduction in accounts receivable because the agreements transfer effective control over and risk
related to the receivables to the buyers. Our factoring agreements do not allow for recourse in the event of uncollectibility, and we do not retain any interest
in the underlying accounts receivable once sold. We derecognized $301.9 million and $68.5 million of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively, under these factoring arrangements. Additionally, we have a similar arrangement for certain European countries. As of December 31,
2024, we assigned and derecognized approximately $29.9 million of Trade Receivables, Net, which were included in Other Receivables. As of December
31, 2025, no amounts were assigned and derecognized.
The Company has certain voluntary supply chain finance programs with financial intermediaries which provide participating suppliers the option
to be paid by the intermediary earlier than the original invoice due date. The Company’s responsibility is limited to making payments on the terms
originally negotiated with the suppliers, regardless of whether the intermediary pays the supplier in advance of the original due date. The range of payment
terms the Company negotiates with suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether a supplier participates in a supply chain finance program. The total
amounts due to financial intermediaries to settle supplier invoices under supply chain finance programs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were
$34.5 million and $41.9 million, respectively. These amounts are included within Accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
We are continuously evaluating the potential acquisition of products, as well as companies, as a strategic part of our future growth. Consequently,
we may utilize current cash reserves or incur additional indebtedness to finance any such acquisitions, which could impact future liquidity. Also, on an
ongoing basis, we review our operations, including the evaluation of potential divestitures of products and businesses, as part of our future strategy. Any
divestitures could impact future liquidity. In addition, we plan to continue to explore various other ways to unlock the value of the Company’s unique
global platform in order to create shareholder value.
For information regarding our dividends paid and declared and share repurchase program, refer to Note 13 (Loss) Earnings per Share included in
Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Long-term Debt Maturity
For information regarding our debt agreements and mandatory minimum repayments remaining on the outstanding notional amount of long-term
debt at December 31, 2025, refer to Note 10 Debt included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
The YEN Term Loan Facility and the 2024 Revolving Facility contain customary affirmative covenants for facilities of this type, including among
others, covenants pertaining to the delivery of financial statements, notices of default and certain material events, maintenance of corporate existence and
rights, property, and insurance and compliance with laws, as well as customary negative covenants for facilities of this type, including a financial covenant,
which set the Maximum Leverage Ratio as of the end of any quarter at 3.75 to 1.00, except in circumstances as defined in the related credit agreement, and
other limitations on the incurrence of subsidiary indebtedness, liens, mergers and certain other fundamental changes, investments and loans, acquisitions,
transactions with affiliates, payments of dividends and other restricted payments and changes in our lines of business.
The Company is in compliance with its covenants at December 31, 2025 and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.
We and our subsidiaries and affiliates may from time to time, in our sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt
securities (including any publicly-issued debt securities) in privately negotiated or open market

Other Commitments
The Company is involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inquiries, investigations and proceedings, tax proceedings and
litigation matters, both in the U.S. and abroad, that arise from time to time, some of which could result in losses, including damages, fines and/or civil
penalties, and/or criminal charges against the Company. These matters are often complex and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. We have
approximately $535 million accrued for legal contingencies at December 31, 2025.
While the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses with respect to the claims asserted against it and the assumed legal matters referenced
above, and intends to vigorously defend its position, the process of resolving these matters is inherently uncertain and may develop over a long period of
time, and so it is not possible to predict the ultimate resolution of any such matter. It is possible that an unfavorable resolution of any of the ongoing matters
could have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares,
and/or stock price.
In connection with the divestitures, Viatris and the respective buyers entered into transition services and/or manufacturing and supply agreements
pursuant to which the Company is providing services to the respective purchasers, substantially the same as we previously provided to the related
businesses, generally for a period of up to 12 months for transition services and for periods between one to 10 years for manufacturing and supply
agreements, depending on the geographic market and the products subject to such agreement, subject to potential extensions in certain circumstances. In
addition, in connection with the OTC Transaction and the divestiture of our women’s healthcare business, we entered into distribution agreements for
certain markets for a limited period of time. In connection with the API business divestiture, we entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement
pursuant to which we are purchasing a significant amount of API from the purchaser in that transaction. Some of these agreements include various ongoing
financial obligations. The transition services were substantially concluded as of December 31, 2025.
At December 31, 2025, our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations primarily relate to repayment of outstanding
borrowings and interest, open purchase orders, post-employment benefit plans, unrecognized tax benefits, capital expenditures, dividends and leases. For
additional information, refer to Notes 7, 10, 12, 13, 15, and 17 included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We anticipate our cash requirements related to
ordinary course purchases of goods and services will be consistent with our past levels.

Table of Contents
In the normal course of business, Viatris periodically enters into acquisition, divestiture, collaboration, employment, legal settlement and other
agreements which incorporate indemnification provisions. The maximum amount to which Viatris may be exposed under such agreements cannot be
reasonably estimated due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular
agreement. Historically, we have not paid material amounts under these indemnification provisions. Further, for certain agreements, the Company
maintains insurance coverage, which management believes will effectively mitigate the Company’s obligations under these indemnification provisions. No
amounts have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements with respect to the Company’s obligations under such agreements.
We have entered into employment and other agreements with certain executives and other employees that provide for compensation and certain
other benefits. These agreements provide for severance payments under certain circumstances.
Licensing and Other Partner Agreements
Under our licensing and other partner agreements, our potential maximum development milestones not accrued for at December 31, 2025 totaled
approximately $416 million. We estimate that the amounts that may be paid during the next twelve months to be approximately $163 million. These
agreements may also include potential sales-based milestones and call for us to pay a percentage of amounts earned from the sale of the product as a royalty
or a profit share. Refer to Note 19 Licensing and Other Partner Agreements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-
K and are in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Included within these policies are certain policies which contain critical accounting estimates and, therefore, have been deemed to be “critical
accounting policies.” Critical accounting estimates are those which require management to make assumptions about matters that were uncertain at the time
the estimate was made and for which the use of different estimates, which reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are
reasonably likely to occur from period to period could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We have identified the
following to be our critical accounting policies: the determination of net revenue provisions; accounting for acquisitions, including intangible assets,
goodwill and contingent consideration; income taxes; and the impact of existing legal matters.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes net
revenue for product sales when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we
expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for variable consideration, including discounts,
rebates, governmental rebate programs, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, promotional programs and other sales allowances. Accruals for these
provisions are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions in determining net sales and as a contra asset in accounts receivable, net (if
settled via credit) and other current liabilities (if paid in cash). Amounts recorded for revenue deductions can result from a complex series of judgements
about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. As such, they have been identified as critical accounting estimates.
The following section briefly describes the nature of our provisions for variable consideration and how such provisions are estimated:
•
Chargebacks: the Company has agreements with certain indirect customers, such as independent pharmacies, retail pharmacy chains, managed
care organizations, hospitals, nursing homes, governmental agencies and PBMs, which establish contract prices for certain products. The indirect
customers then independently select a wholesaler from which to purchase the products at these contracted prices. Alternatively, certain
wholesalers may enter into agreements with indirect customers that establish contract pricing for certain products, which the wholesalers provide.
Under either arrangement, Viatris will provide credit to the wholesaler for any difference between the contracted price with the indirect party and
the wholesaler’s invoice price. Such credits are called chargebacks. The provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by our
wholesaler customers to indirect customers, as well as estimated wholesaler inventory levels. We continually monitor our provision for
chargebacks and evaluate our reserve and estimates as additional information becomes available. A change of 5% would have an effect on our
reserve balance of approximately $22.1 million.
75

Table of Contents
•
Rebates, promotional programs and other sales allowances: this category includes rebate and other programs to assist in product sales. These
programs generally provide that the customer receives credit directly related to the amount of purchases or credits upon the attainment of pre-
established volumes. Also included in this category are prompt pay discounts, administrative fees and price adjustments to reflect decreases in the
selling prices of products. A change of 5% would have an effect on our reserve balance of approximately $56.7 million.
•
Returns: consistent with industry practice, Viatris maintains a return policy that allows customers to return a product, which varies country by
country in accordance with local practices, generally within a specified period prior (six months) and subsequent (twelve months) to the expiration
date. The Company’s estimate of the provision for returns is generally based upon historical experience with actual returns. Generally, returned
products are destroyed and customers are refunded the sales price in the form of a credit. A change of 5% would have an effect on our reserve
balance of approximately $17.5 million.
•
Governmental rebate programs: government reimbursement programs in the U.S. include Medicare, Medicaid, and State Pharmacy Assistance
Programs established according to statute, regulations and policy. Manufacturers of pharmaceutical products that are covered by the Medicaid
program are required to pay rebates to each state based on a statutory formula set forth in the Social Security Act. Medicare beneficiaries are
eligible to obtain discounted prescription drug coverage from private sector providers. In addition, certain states have also implemented
supplemental rebate programs that obligate manufacturers to pay rebates in excess of those required under federal law. Our estimate of these
rebates is based on the historical trends of rebates paid as well as on changes in wholesaler inventory levels and increases or decreases in the level
of sales.
Outside the U.S., the majority of our pharmaceutical sales are contractually or legislatively governed. In certain European countries, certain
rebates are calculated on the government’s total pharmaceutical spending or on specific product sale thresholds. We utilize historical data and
obtain third party information to determine the adequacy of these accruals. Also, this provision includes price reductions that are mandated by law
outside of the U.S.
A change of 5% would have an effect on our reserve balance of approximately $17.2 million.

We have not made and do not anticipate making any significant changes to the methodologies that we use to measure provisions for variable
consideration; however, the balances within these reserves can fluctuate significantly through the consistent application of our methodologies. Historically,
we have not recorded in any current period any material amounts related to adjustments made to prior period reserves.

Acquisitions, including Intangible Assets, Goodwill and Contingent Consideration
The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805,
Business Combinations, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective estimated
fair values. The cost to acquire businesses is allocated to the underlying net assets of the acquired business based on estimates of their respective fair
values. Amounts allocated to acquired IPR&D are capitalized at the date of acquisition and, at that time, such IPR&D assets have indefinite lives. As
products in development are approved for sale, amounts are allocated to product rights and licenses and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the expected life of the asset. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net
assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Refer to Note 4 Acquisitions and Other Transactions and Note 8 Goodwill and Intangible Assets included in Part
II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Purchases of developed products and licenses that are accounted for as asset acquisitions, including milestone payments related to development
compounds due upon receipt of regulatory approvals, are capitalized as intangible assets and amortized over an estimated useful life. IPR&D assets
acquired as part of an asset acquisition are expensed immediately if they have no alternative future uses.
The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives,
can materially impact our results of operations. Fair values and useful lives are determined based on, among other factors, the expected future period of
benefit of the asset, the various characteristics of the asset and projected cash flows. Because this process involves management making estimates with
respect to future sales volumes, pricing, new product launches, government reform actions, anticipated cost environment and overall market conditions, and
because these estimates form the basis for the determination of whether or not an impairment charge should be recorded, these estimates are considered to
be critical accounting estimates.
The Company records contingent consideration liabilities resulting from business acquisitions or divestitures at its estimated fair value on the
acquisition or divestiture date. Each reporting period thereafter, the Company revalues these obligations and records increases or decreases in their fair
value as adjustments to litigation settlements and other contingencies, net within the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of the
contingent consideration obligations can result from adjustments to the discount rates, payment periods and adjustments in the probability of achieving
future development steps, regulatory approvals, market launches, operating results, sales targets and profitability. These fair value measurements represent
Level 3 measurements as they are based on significant inputs not observable in the market.
Significant judgment is employed in determining the assumptions utilized as of the acquisition or divestiture date and for each subsequent
measurement period. Accordingly, changes in the assumptions described above could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually on April 1st or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company experienced a sharp and sustained decline in its share
price and significantly increased uncertainty and volatility in the geopolitical and economic environments in which the Company operates. As a result of
these factors, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred for each of its reporting units and performed an interim goodwill impairment
test as of March 31, 2025.
The Company also performed the annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2025. There were no significant changes from the interim
goodwill test performed at March 31, 2025 and the results were consistent with the interim goodwill impairment test. Also, no triggering events have been
identified since the April 1, 2025 impairment test date.
The Company performed both its interim and annual goodwill impairment tests on a quantitative basis for its five reporting units, North America,
Europe, Emerging Markets, JANZ, and Greater China. In estimating each reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performed an extensive valuation
analysis, utilizing a discounted cash flow approach. The determination of the fair value of the reporting units requires the Company to make significant
estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting unit’s expected future cash flows. These estimates and assumptions, utilizing Level 3 inputs, primarily
include, but are not limited to, the discount rate, terminal growth rates, operating income before depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures
forecasts and control premiums.

Table of Contents
For the March 31, 2025 interim goodwill impairment test, when compared to the prior year annual goodwill impairment test completed on April 1,
2024, the significantly increased uncertainty and volatility in the geopolitical and economic environments in which the Company operates increased the
Company’s business risks, including, but not limited to, the potential for continued or additional drug pricing reduction pressures, general uncertainty
related to timing of responses and approvals from the FDA resulting from evolving regulatory priorities and associated changes to the operations of the
agency, and the potential for adverse impacts from future tariffs and trade restrictions. The negative impact of any or all of these factors could be material.
The significant increase in business risks and uncertainty led to an increase in discount rate assumptions impacting all reporting units as compared to the
April 1, 2024 annual goodwill impairment test.
As of March 31, 2025 (prior to the impairment charges noted below), the allocation of the Company’s total goodwill was as follows: North
America $3.09 billion, Europe $3.92 billion, Emerging Markets $1.17 billion, JANZ $0.30 billion and Greater China $0.92 billion.
In conjunction with its March 31, 2025 interim goodwill impairment test, the Company recorded the following impairment charges in the first

For the North America reporting unit at March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the
forecast period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately 3.1%. A terminal year value was calculated with a negative 3.0% revenue
growth rate applied. The discount rate utilized was 12.5% and the estimated tax rate was 24.8%.
For the Europe reporting unit at March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast
period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately 3.3%. A terminal year value was calculated with a 2.0% revenue growth rate applied.
The discount rate utilized was 12.0% and the estimated tax rate was 15.8%.
For the Emerging Markets reporting unit at March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During
the forecast period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately 3.5%. A terminal year value was calculated with a 2.0% revenue growth
rate applied. The discount rate utilized was 14.5% and the estimated tax rate was 16.7%.
For the JANZ reporting unit at March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast
period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately negative 0.9%. A terminal year value was calculated with a 1.0% revenue growth rate
applied. The discount rate utilized was 8.5% and the estimated tax rate was 30.2%. After the goodwill impairment charge recorded during the first quarter
of 2025, there is no remaining goodwill allocated to the JANZ reporting unit.
Following the goodwill impairment charges recorded in these reporting units, since the carrying value of the reporting units is equal to their
estimated fair value as of March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, if market conditions or the projected results were to negatively change, it may be necessary to
record further impairment charges to one or more of these reporting units in future periods. Any such future charges could be material.
For the Greater China reporting unit, the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately $322.0 million or 5.8% for both the
March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025 goodwill impairment tests. As it relates to the discounted cash flow approach for the Greater China reporting unit at
March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast period, the revenue compound annual
growth rate was approximately 1.6%. A terminal year value was calculated with a negative 1.5% revenue growth rate applied. The discount rate utilized
was 15.0% and the estimated tax rate was 24.7%. If all other assumptions are held constant, a reduction in the terminal value growth rate by 3.5% or an
increase in discount rate by 1.0% would result in an impairment charge for the Greater China reporting unit.
Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, changes in
underlying assumptions, especially as they relate to the key assumptions detailed, could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting units.

The carrying values of long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, are evaluated
periodically in relation to the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets and monitored for other potential triggering events. We
assess the recoverability of certain long-lived assets, principally finite-lived intangible assets, contained within the reporting units whenever certain
impairment indicators are present. Any impairment of these assets must be considered prior to our impairment review of goodwill. The assessment for
impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets or asset grouping by analyzing the expected future undiscounted
pre-tax cash flows specific to the asset or asset grouping. If the carrying amount is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the Company recognizes an
impairment loss for the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value based on discounted cash flows.
Significant management judgment is involved in estimating the recoverability of these assets and is dependent upon the accuracy of the
assumptions used in making these estimates, as well as how the estimates compare to the eventual future operating performance of the specific asset or
asset grouping. The fair value of finite-lived intangible assets was calculated as the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using a market rate
of return. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets totaled $14.40 billion and $16.26 billion, respectively. Changes to
any of the Company’s assumptions related to the estimated fair value based on the discounted cash flows, including discount rates or the competitive
environment related to the assets, could lead to future material impairment charges. Any future long-lived assets impairment charges could have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, principally IPR&D acquired as part of business combinations, are tested at least annually for
impairment or upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The impairment test for IPR&D consists of a comparison of the asset’s fair value with its carrying
value. Impairment is determined to exist when the fair value of IPR&D assets, which is based upon updated forecasts and commercial development plans,
is less than the carrying value of the assets being tested. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $73.9 million and $177.1
million, respectively, of impairment charges, which were recorded as a component of amortization expense. There were no IPR&D impairment charges in
2023. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s IPR&D assets totaled $706.0 million and $814.2 million, respectively.
The fair value of both IPR&D and finite-lived intangible assets was determined based upon detailed valuations employing the income approach
which utilized Level 3 inputs, as defined in Note 9 Financial Instruments and Risk Management included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Changes to
any of the Company’s assumptions including changes to or abandonment of development programs, regulatory timelines, discount rates or the competitive
environment related to the assets could lead to future material impairment charges.
Income Taxes
We compute our income taxes based on the statutory tax rates and tax reliefs available to Viatris in the various jurisdictions in which we generate
income. Significant judgment is required in determining our income taxes and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish reserves in accordance with
Viatris’ policy regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Our policy provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position be recognized in
Viatris’ financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. We
adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the settlement of a tax audit. Our provision for income taxes includes the impact
of reserve provisions and changes to reserves. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to our provision for income taxes in the period of
resolution or expiration of the underlying statutes of limitation. Based on this evaluation, as of December 31, 2025, our reserve for unrecognized tax
benefits totaled $263.2 million, of which $170.1 million was recorded in connection with the Combination and is subject to Pfizer’s indemnification
obligations to Viatris under the Tax Matters Agreement.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the
existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred in certain taxing jurisdictions
over the three-year period ended December 31, 2025. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our
projections for future growth.
Based on this evaluation and other factors, as of December 31, 2025, a valuation allowance of $1.44 billion has been recorded in order to measure
only the portion of the deferred tax asset that more likely than not will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however,
could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or if objective negative evidence in the form of
cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as projections for growth. When assessing the
realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers all available evidence, including historical information, long-term forecasts of future
79

Table of Contents
taxable income and possible tax planning strategies. Amounts recorded for valuation allowances can result from a complex series of estimates, assumptions
and judgments about future events. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, assumptions and judgments, actual results could
differ materially. Any future increases to the Company’s valuation allowances could materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition and
results of operations. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s net deferred tax assets totaled $1.06 billion and $753.0 million, respectively.
A variance of 5% between estimated reserves and valuation allowances and actual resolution and realization of these tax items would have an
effect on our reserve balance and valuation allowance of approximately $85.0 million.
Legal Matters
Viatris is involved in various legal proceedings, some of which involve claims for substantial amounts. An estimate is made to accrue for a loss
contingency relating to any of these legal proceedings if it is probable that a liability was incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount
of loss can be reasonably estimated. Because of the subjective nature inherent in assessing the outcome of litigation and because of the potential that an
adverse outcome in a legal proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to
pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price, such estimates are considered to be critical accounting estimates.
A variance of 5% between estimated and recorded litigation reserves and actual resolution of certain legal matters would have an effect on our
litigation reserve balance of approximately $26.7 million. Refer to Note 20 Litigation included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of
litigation matters.
Impact of Currency Fluctuations and Inflation
Because our results are reported in U.S. Dollars, changes in the rate of exchange between the U.S. Dollar and the local currencies in the markets in
which we operate, mainly the Euro, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Pound Sterling and South Korean
Won affect our results as previously noted. In recent years, the global economy has experienced significant volatility, including inflation, increased interest
rates and rising energy costs. While inflationary and other macroeconomic pressures may ease and interest rates may decline, we do not expect to see a
corresponding reduction in these higher costs. These macroeconomic pressures combined with the volatility in foreign exchange rates, including the
strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus certain of the other currencies in which we operate, have impacted and may continue to impact our results of
operations. We proactively look to manage such macroeconomic pressures by implementing strategies to mitigate and partially offset the impact of these
factors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for recently adopted accounting
pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.
ITEM 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
A significant portion of our revenues and earnings are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to manage this foreign
exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing same currency revenues in relation to same currency costs and same currency assets
in relation to same currency liabilities.
From time to time, foreign exchange risk is managed through the use of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts. These contracts are used to
offset the potential earnings effects from mostly intercompany foreign currency assets and liabilities that arise from operations and from intercompany
loans. Any unhedged foreign exchange exposures continue to be subject to market fluctuations.
Our financial instrument holdings at year end were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to foreign exchange rate changes. The fair values of
these instruments were determined as follows:
•
foreign currency forward-exchange contracts — net present values
•
foreign currency denominated receivables, payables, debt and loans — changes in exchange rates.
80

Table of Contents
In this sensitivity analysis, we assumed that the change in one currency’s rate relative to the U.S. Dollar would not have an effect on other
currencies’ rates relative to the U.S. Dollar. All other factors were held constant.
If there were an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates of 10%, the expected net effect on net income related to Viatris’ foreign
currency denominated financial instruments would not be material.
The Company is also exposed to translation risk on non-U.S. Dollar-denominated net assets. Non-U.S. Dollar borrowings, principally our Euro
and Yen denominated long-term debt, are used to hedge the foreign currency exposures of our net investment in certain foreign affiliates and are designated
as hedges of net investments. The foreign exchange gains or losses on these hedges is included in the foreign currency translation component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If our net investment decreases below the equivalent value of the non-U.S. debt borrowings, the change in
the remeasurement basis of the debt would be subject to recognition in net income as changes occur.
Interest Rate and Long-Term Debt Risk
Viatris’ exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from our U.S. Dollar and Euro borrowings and U.S. Dollar investments. We invest primarily
on a variable-rate basis and we borrow on both a fixed and variable basis. In order to maintain a certain ratio of fixed to variable rate debt, from time to
time, depending on market conditions, Viatris will use derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to fix interest rates on variable-rate
borrowings or to convert fixed-rate borrowings to variable interest rates.
As of December 31, 2025, Viatris’ outstanding fixed rate borrowings consist principally of $13.72 billion notional amount of senior U.S. Dollar
and Euro notes. Generally, the fair value of fixed interest rate debt will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. As of December 31,
2025, the fair value of our outstanding fixed rate senior U.S. Dollar and Euro notes was approximately $11.99 billion. As of December 31, 2025, Viatris’
outstanding variable rate borrowings consist principally of borrowings under the Yen Term Loan Facility of $255.2 million. A 100 basis point change in
interest rates on Viatris’ variable rate debt would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $2.6 million per year.
Fair Value Risk
The Company’s fair value risk exposure relates primarily to our equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, principally
the CCPS received as part of the Biocon Biologics Transaction. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying value of these investments were
approximately $815.0 million and $1.35 billion, respectively. A hypothetical 20 percent decline in the fair value of these investments would have decreased
the carrying value and increased other expense (income), net by approximately $163.0 million at December 31, 2025.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of Viatris Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In order to evaluate the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control
- Integrated Framework (2013), issued by COSO. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As a result of this assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2025 based on the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP (PCAOB ID No. 34), has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte & Touche LLP’s opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appears on page 86 of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Viatris Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Viatris Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the
related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) earnings, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2025, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on
the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to
those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or
required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2)
involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion
on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical
audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill – Viatris Inc. All Reporting Units – Refer to Note 8 to the financial statements.
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2025 and an annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2025. As of
March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $9.4 billion of consolidated goodwill, which was allocated to its North America ($3.1 billion), Europe
($3.9 billion), Greater China ($0.9 billion), JANZ ($0.3 billion), and Emerging Markets ($1.2 billion) reporting units prior to any impairment charges. The
Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The
Company performed its valuation analysis, using an income-based approach, to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The determination of the fair
value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting unit’s expected future cash flows. These estimates and
assumptions, utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs, primarily include, but are not limited to, discount rates, terminal growth rates, operating income before
depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures forecasts. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded goodwill impairment
charges for the North America ($707.0 million), Europe ($1,554.0 million), JANZ ($300.8 million), and Emerging Markets ($375.0 million)
84

Table of Contents
reporting units, for a total of $2.9 billion. The impairment charges were primarily the result of significant increases in the business risks and uncertainty,
which led to increases in discount rate assumptions for each reporting unit. The fair value of the Greater China reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by
approximately $322 million, or 5.8% as of March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025.
Given that the reporting units’ revenues are sensitive to the potential for continued or additional drug pricing reduction pressures, general uncertainty
related to timing of responses and approvals from the FDA resulting from evolving regulatory priorities and associated changes to the operations of the
agency, and the potential for adverse impacts from future tariffs and trade restrictions, future revenues, and the selection of the discount rates and terminal
growth rates required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future revenues (“forecasts”), and the selection of the discount rates and terminal growth rates for each
reporting unit included the following procedures, among others:
•
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the review of the goodwill impairment tests, including those over the development of the business
forecasts of future revenues and the selection of the discount rates and terminal growth rates.
•
We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenues of the reporting units by comparing actual results to management’s
historical forecasts.
•
We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s revenue forecasts by comparing the projections to (1) historical results, (2) internal
communications to management and the Board of Directors, and (3) forecasted information included in Company press releases. We also
considered third party reports related to macroeconomic and industry trends and made inquiries of management, including various regional
commercial and operations leaders to assess key inputs in the forecast assumptions.
•
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology, discount rates, and terminal
growth rates, including (1) testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates and terminal growth rates and the
mathematical accuracy of the calculations, (2) developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by
management, and (3) considering third party macroeconomic reports.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Viatris Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Viatris, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025,
based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 26, 2026, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Viatris Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1.
Nature of Operations
Viatris is a global healthcare company whose breadth and scale we believe make it uniquely positioned to address healthcare needs globally. With
a mission to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life, Viatris supplies high-quality medicines to patients around the world. The
Company has a global footprint, an extensive portfolio of medicines that is well-diversified across therapeutic areas, a one-of-a-kind global supply chain
designed to reach more people when and where they need them, and the scientific expertise to address some of the world's most enduring health challenges.
The Company operates in more than 165 countries and territories with more than 30,000 employees. The Company has 27 manufacturing,
packaging, and distribution sites worldwide, more than 1,400 approved molecules, and what we believe is industry leading commercial, R&D, regulatory,
manufacturing, legal and medical expertise. Viatris’ portfolio consists of generics (including complex products), globally recognized iconic brands, and an
expanding portfolio of innovative medicines. We conduct our business through four segments: Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ, and Emerging
Markets. Viatris is headquartered in the U.S., with global centers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Shanghai, China and Hyderabad, India.
Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior period consolidated financial statements to the current period presentation. Charges
related to the impairment of goodwill, which were previously presented in SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations, and which were previously
presented in Other non-cash items in the consolidated statements of cash flows, are now presented in Impairment of Goodwill in the consolidated
statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viatris and those of its wholly owned and majority-
owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Foreign Currencies. The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency of Viatris. Statements of
Operations and Cash Flows of all of the Company’s subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than U.S. Dollars are translated at a weighted average
exchange rate for the period for inclusion in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, whereas assets and liabilities are translated at the end
of the period exchange rates for inclusion in the consolidated balance sheets. Translation differences are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity as foreign
currency translation adjustments. Gains or losses on transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency, which arise as
a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Under ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”), a highly inflationary economy is one that has cumulative inflation of approximately
100% or more over a three-year period. Effective October 1, 2024, we classified Egypt as highly inflationary and began to utilize the U.S. Dollar as our
functional currency in Egypt, which historically utilized the Egyptian pound as the functional currency. Effective April 1, 2022, we classified Turkey as
highly inflationary and began to utilize the U.S. Dollar as our functional currency in Turkey, which historically utilized the Turkish lira as the functional
currency. Application of the guidance in ASC 830 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three years ended
December 31, 2025.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less at the date of purchase.
92

Table of Contents
Debt and Equity Securities. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale on the date of purchase are recorded at fair value, with net unrealized
gains and losses, net of income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of shareholders’ equity. Net realized gains and
losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities are computed on a specific security basis and are included in Other expense (income), net in the
consolidated statements of operations. Debt securities classified as trading securities are valued using the quoted market price from broker or dealer
quotations or transparent pricing sources at the reporting date, with gains and losses included in Other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements
of operations. Fair value is determined based on observable market quotes or valuation models using assessments of counterparty credit worthiness, credit
risk or underlying security and overall capital market liquidity. Debt securities are reviewed for impairment by assessing if the decline in market value of
the investment below the carrying value is other than temporary.
Changes in the fair value of equity securities are recorded in Other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Investments
in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value. Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values
for which the Company has elected to utilize the measurement alternative under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities are recorded at cost minus any
impairment, plus or minus changes in their estimated fair value resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar
investment of the same issuer. Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are assessed for potential impairment on a quarterly
basis based on qualitative factors.
Concentrations of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of interest-bearing
investments, derivatives and accounts receivable.
Viatris invests its excess cash in high-quality, liquid money market instruments, principally overnight deposits and highly rated money market
funds. The Company maintains deposit balances at certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured amounts. Periodically, the Company reviews
the creditworthiness of its counterparties to derivative transactions, and it does not expect to incur a loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under
agreements it has with such counterparties.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted average cost
method. Provisions for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory, including pre-launch inventory, are made based on our analysis of product dating,
inventory levels, historical obsolescence and future sales forecasts. Included as a component of cost of sales is expense related to the net realizable value of
inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed and
recorded on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated service lives (3 to 18 years for machinery and equipment and other fixed assets and 15 to 39
years for buildings and improvements). Capitalized software is included in property, plant and equipment and is amortized over estimated useful lives
ranging from 3 to 7 years.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is generally recorded on a
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 20 years. The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of intangible assets
and makes adjustments when events indicate that a shorter life is appropriate.
The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805,
Business Combinations, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective estimated
fair values. The cost to acquire businesses is allocated to the underlying net assets of the acquired business based on estimates of their respective fair
values. Amounts allocated to acquired IPR&D are capitalized at the date of acquisition and, at that time, such IPR&D assets have indefinite lives. As
products in development are approved for sale, amounts are allocated to product rights and licenses and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the expected life of the asset. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of
the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Purchases of developed products and licenses that are accounted for as asset acquisitions, including milestone payments related to development
compounds due upon receipt of regulatory approvals, are capitalized as intangible assets and amortized over an estimated useful life. IPR&D assets
acquired as part of an asset acquisition are expensed immediately if they have no alternative future uses.

Table of Contents
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable based on management's assessment of the fair value of the Company's reporting units as compared to
their related carrying value. Under the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, we have the option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine
whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to
perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If we choose to use qualitative factors and determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the goodwill impairment test would be required. The goodwill impairment test requires the Company to
estimate the fair value of the reporting unit and to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount is less than
its fair value, then no impairment is recognized. If the carrying amount recorded exceeds the fair value calculated, an impairment charge is recorded for the
difference. The judgments made in determining the projected cash flows used to estimate the fair value can materially impact the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, principally IPR&D acquired as part of business combinations, are tested at least annually for impairment or upon
the occurrence of a triggering event. The impairment test for IPR&D consists of a comparison of the asset’s fair value with its carrying value. Impairment is
determined to exist when the fair value of IPR&D assets, which is based upon updated forecasts and commercial development plans, is less than the
carrying value of the assets being tested.
Contingent Consideration. Viatris records contingent consideration liabilities resulting from business acquisitions or divestitures at its estimated
fair value on the acquisition or divestiture date. Each reporting period thereafter, the Company revalues these obligations and records increases or decreases
in their fair value as adjustments to Litigation settlements and other contingencies, net within the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair
value of the contingent consideration obligations can result from adjustments to the discount rates, payment periods and adjustments in the probability of
achieving future development steps, regulatory approvals, market launches, operating results, sales targets and profitability. These fair value measurements
represent Level 3 measurements as they are based on significant inputs not observable in the market.
Significant judgment is employed in determining the assumptions utilized as of the acquisition or divestiture date and for each subsequent
measurement period. Accordingly, changes in the assumptions described above could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.
Viatris records contingent consideration assets resulting from divestitures when the contingent consideration is resolved.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The carrying values of long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
with finite lives, are evaluated periodically in relation to the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets and monitored for other
potential triggering events. The assessment for impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets or asset grouping by
analyzing the expected future undiscounted pre-tax cash flows specific to the asset or asset grouping. If the carrying amount is greater than the
undiscounted cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value based on
discounted cash flows.
Significant management judgment is involved in estimating the recoverability of these assets and is dependent upon the accuracy of the
assumptions used in making these estimates, as well as how the estimates compare to the eventual future operating performance of the specific asset or
asset grouping. Any future long-lived assets impairment charges could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and
results of operations.
Divestitures. For businesses that are divested, including divestitures of products that qualify as a business, the Company records the net gain or
loss on the sale within Other expense (income), net, and allocates the relative fair value of goodwill associated with the businesses in the determining the
gain or loss on sale. Any resulting goodwill impairment is recorded within Impairment of Goodwill. The Company records amounts received as part of
TSAs within Other expense (income), net. For divestitures of products that qualify as assets, the Company records the gain or loss on sale within SG&A.
Short-Term Borrowings. The Company’s subsidiaries in India have working capital facilities with several banks. The Company also has the
Commercial Paper Program and Receivables Facility. Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, certain of our accounts receivable secure the amounts
borrowed and cannot be used to pay our other debts or liabilities. As the accounts receivable do not transfer to the banks, any amounts outstanding under
the facility are recorded as borrowings and the underlying receivables continue to be included in accounts receivable, net, in the consolidated balance
sheets.

Table of Contents
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC
606, the Company recognizes net revenue for product sales when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for variable
consideration, including discounts, rebates, governmental rebate programs, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, promotional programs and other sales
allowances. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions in determining net sales and as a contra asset
in accounts receivable, net (if settled via credit) and other current liabilities (if paid in cash). Amounts recorded for revenue deductions can result from a
complex series of judgements about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The following section briefly
describes the nature of our provisions for variable consideration and how such provisions are estimated:
•
Chargebacks: the Company has agreements with certain indirect customers, such as independent pharmacies, retail pharmacy chains, managed
care organizations, hospitals, nursing homes, governmental agencies and PBMs, which establish contract prices for certain products. The indirect
customers then independently select a wholesaler from which to purchase the products at these contracted prices. Alternatively, certain
wholesalers may enter into agreements with indirect customers that establish contract pricing for certain products, which the wholesalers provide.
Under either arrangement, Viatris will provide credit to the wholesaler for any difference between the contracted price with the indirect party and
the wholesaler’s invoice price. Such credits are called chargebacks. The provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by our
wholesaler customers to indirect customers, as well as estimated wholesaler inventory levels.
•
Rebates, promotional programs and other sales allowances: this category includes rebate and other programs to assist in product sales. These
programs generally provide that the customer receives credit directly related to the amount of purchases or credits upon the attainment of pre-
established volumes. Also included in this category are prompt pay discounts, administrative fees and price adjustments to reflect decreases in the
selling prices of products.
•
Returns: consistent with industry practice, Viatris maintains a return policy that allows customers to return a product, which varies country by
country in accordance with local practices, generally within a specified period prior (six months) and subsequent (twelve months) to the expiration
date. The Company’s estimate of the provision for returns is generally based upon historical experience with actual returns. Generally, returned
products are destroyed and customers are refunded the sales price in the form of a credit.
•
Governmental rebate programs: government reimbursement programs in the U.S. include Medicare, Medicaid, and State Pharmacy Assistance
Programs established according to statute, regulations and policy. Manufacturers of pharmaceutical products that are covered by the Medicaid
program are required to pay rebates to each state based on a statutory formula set forth in the Social Security Act. Medicare beneficiaries are
eligible to obtain discounted prescription drug coverage from private sector providers. In addition, certain states have also implemented
supplemental rebate programs that obligate manufacturers to pay rebates in excess of those required under federal law. Our estimate of these
rebates is based on the historical trends of rebates paid as well as on changes in wholesaler inventory levels and increases or decreases in the level
of sales.
Outside the U.S., the majority of our pharmaceutical sales are contractually or legislatively governed. In certain European countries, certain
rebates are calculated on the government’s total pharmaceutical spending or on specific product sale thresholds. We utilize historical data and
obtain third party information to determine the adequacy of these accruals. Also, this provision includes price reductions that are mandated by law
outside of the U.S.
Our net sales may be impacted by wholesaler and distributor inventory levels of our products, which can fluctuate throughout the year due to the
seasonality of certain products, pricing, the timing of product demand, purchasing decisions and other factors. Such fluctuations may impact the
comparability of our net sales between periods.
Consideration received from licenses of intellectual property is recorded as other revenues. Royalty or profit share amounts, which are based on
sales of licensed products or technology, are recorded when the customer’s subsequent sales or usages occur. Such consideration is included in other
revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Receivables, including deferred consideration, with terms in excess of one year are initially recorded at their net present value using discount rates
reflecting the relative credit risk.
Research and Development. R&D expenses are charged to operations as incurred. R&D expense consists of costs incurred in performing research
and development activities, including but not limited to, compensation and benefits, facilities and overhead expense, clinical trial expense and fees paid to
contract research organizations.
95

Table of Contents
Acquired IPR&D. Acquired IPR&D expense includes the initial cost of externally developed IPR&D projects, acquired directly in a transaction
other than a business combination, that do not have an alternative future use. Additionally, the related milestone payment obligations that are incurred prior
to regulatory approval of the compound are recorded as acquired IPR&D expense when the event triggering the obligation to pay the milestone occurs.
Income Taxes. Income taxes have been provided for using an asset and liability approach in which deferred income taxes reflect the tax
consequences on future years of events that the Company has already recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Changes in enacted tax rates or
laws may result in adjustments to the recorded tax assets or liabilities in the period that the new tax law is enacted.
Earnings per Share. Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) earnings attributable to holders of Viatris Inc. common
stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) earnings
attributable to holders of Viatris Inc. common stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of
additional shares that would have been outstanding related to potentially dilutive securities or instruments, if the impact is dilutive.
Share-Based Compensation. The fair value of share-based compensation is recognized as expense in the consolidated statements of operations
over the vesting period.
Derivatives. From time to time the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments (including but not limited to foreign currency forward
contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps) designed to: 1) hedge the cash flows resulting from existing assets and liabilities and transactions
expected to be entered into over the next 24 months in currencies other than the functional currency, 2) hedge the variability in interest expense on floating
rate debt, 3) hedge the fair value of fixed-rate notes, 4) hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact future debt issuances, 5) hedge a net
investment in a foreign operation, or 6) economically hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with the purchase price of non-U.S. acquisitions or
divestitures. Derivatives are recognized as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. When the derivative instrument qualifies
as a cash flow hedge or a net investment hedge, changes in the fair value are deferred through other comprehensive earnings. If a derivative instrument
qualifies as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value, as well as the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items, are generally included
within the same line item in the consolidated statements of operations as the hedged item. When such instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting the
changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within Other expense (income), net.
Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of short-term and long-term debt, interest rate and cross currency
swaps, and forward contracts. The Company’s financial instruments also include cash and cash equivalents as well as accounts and other receivables and
accounts payable, the fair values of which approximate their carrying values. As a policy, the Company does not engage in speculative or leveraged
transactions.
The Company carries derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, determined by reference to market data such as
forward rates for currencies, implied volatility, and interest rate swap yield curves. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument
depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it. In addition, the Company has
designated certain long-term debt instruments as net investment hedges.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which
requires expanded income tax disclosures, including greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and of income taxes paid.
The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We
adopted this ASU on a prospective basis beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 12 Income Taxes for additional information. The
adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as the guidance only requires additional
disclosures.

Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires entities to disclose specified
information about certain costs and expenses, including amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset
amortization. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance
on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts
Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain
unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is
effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early
adoption permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted
Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends certain aspects of the accounting for, and disclosure of, internal-use software
costs under ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 is intended to simplify and modernize the accounting for
internal-use software costs by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages under Subtopic 350-40. The amendments
in ASU 2025-06 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting
periods, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The guidance can be applied prospectively, retrospectively or
under a modified transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial
statements and disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business
Entities, which establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The
amendments in ASU 2025-10 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those
annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied under a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective
approach, or a full retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial
statements and disclosures.

Total allowances for doubtful accounts were $136.0 million and $107.6 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Viatris performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Approximately 24% and 29% of the accounts receivable balances
represent amounts due from three customers at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Accounts Receivable Factoring Arrangements
We have entered into accounts receivable factoring agreements with financial institutions to sell certain of our non-U.S. accounts receivable.
These transactions are accounted for as sales and result in a reduction in accounts receivable because the agreements transfer effective control over and risk
related to the receivables to the buyers. Our factoring agreements do not allow for recourse in the event of uncollectibility, and we do not retain any interest
in the underlying accounts receivable once sold. We derecognized $301.9 million and $68.5 million of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively, under these factoring arrangements. Additionally, we have a similar arrangement for certain European countries. As of December 31,
2024, we assigned and derecognized approximately $29.9 million of Trade Receivables, Net, which were included in Other Receivables. As of December
31, 2025, no amounts were assigned and derecognized.

Acquisitions and Other Transactions
Acquisition of Idorsia Products
On March 15, 2024, the Company acquired exclusive global development and commercialization rights to two Phase 3 assets from Idorsia, as well
as the potential to add additional innovative assets in the future. Under the terms of the original agreements, the development programs and certain
personnel for selatogrel and cenerimod were transferred to Viatris from Idorsia in exchange for an upfront payment to Idorsia of $350 million, potential
contingent milestone payments (including $300 million payable upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones, and $2.1 billion
payable upon the achievement of certain tiered sales milestones), as well as potential contingent tiered sales royalties. Viatris and Idorsia are both
contractually obligated to contribute to the development costs for both programs. Viatris has worldwide commercialization rights for both selatogrel and
cenerimod (which excluded, for cenerimod only, Japan, South Korea and certain countries in the Asia-Pacific region). A joint development committee was
formed to oversee the development of the ongoing Phase 3 programs through regulatory approval. The agreements also provided Viatris a right of first
refusal and a right of first negotiation for certain other assets in Idorsia’s pipeline. The transaction expanded our portfolio of innovative assets by adding
two Phase 3 assets and combines our financial strength and worldwide operational infrastructure with Idorsia’s proven, highly-productive drug
development team and innovation engine.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were recorded at their respective estimated fair
values at the acquisition date. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately
$26.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, which were recorded primarily in SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations.
The U.S. GAAP purchase price allocated to the transaction was $695 million, which consisted of $350 million of cash consideration paid and
estimated contingent consideration at the date of acquisition valued at approximately $345 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration was
valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model using Level 3 inputs. The fair value is sensitive to changes in the forecasts of operating metrics, probability
of success, and discount rates. Refer to Note 9 Financial Instruments and Risk Management for additional information.

The amount allocated to IPR&D represents an estimate of the fair value of purchased in-process technology for research projects that, as of the
closing date of the acquisition, had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The fair value of IPR&D of $675 million was
based on the excess earnings method, which utilizes forecasts of expected cash inflows (including estimates for ongoing costs) and other contributory
charges. A discount rate of 20% was utilized to discount net cash inflows to present values. IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset
and will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion and launch of each product, the
Company will make a determination of the estimated useful life of the individual asset. Viatris and Idorsia are both contractually obligated to contribute to
the development costs for both programs, which are expected to be incurred through 2027. There are risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and
successful completion of the projects included in IPR&D, including but not limited to the high cost and uncertainty of conducting clinical trials
(particularly with respect to new and/or complex or innovative drugs), obtaining approval by relevant regulatory bodies and our partner’s financial
condition, and no assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to estimate the fair value of IPR&D will not change or the timely
completion of each project to commercial success will occur.
The goodwill of $19.5 million arising from the acquisition consisted largely of the value of the employee workforce and the expected value of
products, including additional indications, to be developed in the future. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Developed Markets segment. None of the
goodwill recognized in this transaction is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition did not have a material impact on the
Company’s results of operations since the acquisition date or on a pro forma basis during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
On February 25, 2025, in order to preserve the ongoing continuity of the development programs for selatogrel and cenerimod considering certain
capital structuring steps announced by Idorsia to secure its ongoing operations, Viatris and Idorsia entered into a letter agreement to amend certain terms of
the original agreements described above. Under the terms of the letter agreement, Viatris received additional territory rights in Japan, South Korea and
certain other countries in the Asia-Pacific region for cenerimod, a $250 million reduction in contingent milestone payments, including $200 million of
development milestones, and additional personnel to expedite transitioning the development programs to Viatris in exchange for Viatris assuming
$100 million of Idorsia’s obligation to contribute to development costs. In addition, the joint development committee was replaced with a transition
committee to oversee the transition of both development programs to Viatris. Refer to Note 9 Financial Instruments and Risk Management for additional
information on the fair value adjustment to the Idorsia Transaction contingent consideration liability recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025 as
a result of the February 25, 2025 letter agreement.
Oyster Point Acquisition
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Oyster Point for approximately $427.4 million in cash, which included
$11 per share paid to Oyster Point stockholders through a tender offer, payment for vested share-based awards, and the repayment of the Oyster Point debt.
Vested share-based awards to acquire Oyster Point common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition were
cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash based upon a formula contained within the merger agreement. The unvested share-based
awards were converted into Viatris share-based awards based upon a formula contained within the merger agreement.

Table of Contents
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company used the acquisition method of accounting to account for this transaction. Under the acquisition
method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the acquisition
date. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred acquisition related costs of approximately $22.8 million, which were recorded
primarily in SG&A in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company recorded a step-up in the fair value of inventory of approximately $29.3 million, which was fully amortized during the year ended
December 31, 2023 and was included in Cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations.
The operating results of Oyster Point have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date. The
total revenues of Oyster Point for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2023 were $41.7 million and net loss, net of tax, was approximately
$163.1 million. The net loss for the period includes the effect of the purchase accounting adjustments and acquisition related costs.
The following table presents supplemental unaudited pro forma information for the acquisition, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022. The
unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to past operating performance and acquisition accounting adjustments, such as increased
amortization expense based on the fair value of assets acquired, the impact of transaction costs and the related income tax effects. The unaudited pro forma
results do not include any anticipated synergies which may be achievable, or have been achieved, subsequent to the closing of the acquisition. Accordingly,
the unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisitions been completed on the
stated date above, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of Viatris and its subsidiaries.

Famy Life Sciences Acquisition
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining equity shares of Famy Life Sciences, a
privately-owned research company with a complementary portfolio of ophthalmology therapies under development, for consideration of $281 million. The
Company had previously entered into a Master Development Agreement with Famy Life Sciences on December 20, 2019 under which the Company
obtained rights with respect to acquiring certain pharmaceutical products and a 13.5% equity interest in Famy Life Sciences for $25.0 million. The
investment was accounted for in accordance with ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities.
The transaction to acquire the remaining equity shares of Famy Life Sciences closed during the first quarter of 2023. The Company recognized a
gain of $18.9 million during the first quarter of 2023 as a result of remeasuring its pre-existing 13.5% equity interest in Famy Life Sciences to fair value,
which was recognized as a component of Other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company used the acquisition method of accounting to account for this transaction. Under the acquisition
method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the acquisition
date. The U.S. GAAP purchase price allocated to the transaction was $325.0 million, which consisted of $281 million of cash consideration paid for the
remaining equity shares and $43.9 million for the fair value of the pre-existing 13.5% equity interest.
The acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations since the acquisition date or on a pro forma basis for the
year ended December 31, 2023.

Divestitures
In October 2023, the Company announced it had received an offer for the divestiture of its OTC Business and had entered into definitive
agreements to divest its women’s healthcare business primarily related to oral and injectable contraceptives, its API business in India, its rights to two
women’s healthcare products in certain countries, and commercialization rights in the Upjohn Distributor Markets. The Company had substantially
completed all these divestitures by the end of 2024. The OTC, API and women’s healthcare businesses were deemed businesses for U.S. GAAP accounting
purposes. As such, the assets and liabilities included an allocation of goodwill. The sale of the rights to two women’s healthcare products in certain
countries was accounted for as an asset sale. In conjunction with these transactions, Viatris and the respective buyers entered into various agreements to
provide a framework for our relationship with the respective buyers after the closing of the divestitures, including transition services agreements,
manufacturing and supply agreements, and distribution agreements, some of which include various on-going financial obligations. The transition services
were substantially concluded as of December 31, 2025.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded additional pre-tax charges of approximately $101.0 million, primarily related to
the divestitures of the OTC and API businesses. The additional charges were recorded as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the consolidated
statements of operations, and were primarily due to an increase in estimated transaction related costs, including the assumption of additional contractual
obligations, as well as the impact of working capital and other transaction-related adjustments.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized TSA income related to all divestitures of approximately
$39.4 million, $69.9 million, and $168.0 million, respectively. TSA income is recorded as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net.
Women’s Healthcare
In the third quarter of 2023, Viatris executed an agreement to divest its women’s healthcare business to Insud Pharma, S.L., a leading Spanish
multinational pharmaceutical company. The divestiture of the women’s healthcare business was primarily related to our oral and injectable contraceptives
and did not include all of our women’s healthcare related products. The transaction included two manufacturing facilities in India. The transaction closed in
March 2024 and during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $77.8 million for the
difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the assets transferred (including an allocation of goodwill), which was recorded as
a component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the consolidated statement of operations.
In the third quarter of 2023, Viatris also entered into a separate agreement to divest its rights to women’s healthcare products Duphaston® and
Femoston® in certain countries to Theramex HQ UK Limited, a leading global specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to women’s health. The
transaction (other than in the U.K.) closed in December 2023, and upon closing, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately
$156.2 million in that quarter for the difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the assets transferred. In the third quarter of
2024, the Company closed the divestiture of the product rights to Duphaston® and Femoston® in the U.K. to Insud Pharma, S.L., and recognized a pre-tax
gain on sale of approximately $10.8 million. The respective pre-tax gains were recorded as a component of SG&A expense in the consolidated statement of
operations.
OTC
On October 1, 2023, Viatris received an offer from Cooper Consumer Health SAS, a leading European OTC drug manufacturer and distributor, for
Viatris to divest its OTC Business, including two manufacturing sites located in Merignac, France, and Confienza, Italy, and an R&D site in Monza, Italy.
In January 2024, we exercised our option to accept the offer in the OTC Transaction and entered into a definitive transaction agreement with respect to such
OTC Transaction. The Company retained the rights for Viagra®, Dymista® (which, in certain limited markets, are sold as OTC products) and select OTC
products in certain markets. The OTC Transaction closed on July 3, 2024.
The OTC Business divested met the criteria to be classified as held for sale on October 1, 2023. As such, the related assets and liabilities were
classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. Upon classification as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2023, we
recognized a total charge of approximately $734.7 million, which was comprised of a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $580.1 million, and a
charge of approximately $154.7 million to write down the disposal group to fair value, less cost to sell (recorded as a component of Other Expense
(Income), Net) in the consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded

additional pre-tax charges of approximately $369.0 million. The additional charges were recorded as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the
consolidated statement of operations, and were primarily due to an increase in estimated transaction related costs, including the assumption of additional
contractual obligations, as well as the impact of working capital and other transaction-related adjustments.
API
On October 1, 2023, Viatris executed an agreement to divest its API business in India to Matrix Pharma Private Limited, a privately held
pharmaceutical company based in India. The transaction included three manufacturing sites and a R&D lab in Hyderabad, three manufacturing sites in
Vizag and third-party API sales. Viatris retained some selective R&D capabilities in API. The transaction closed in June 2024. During the year ended
December 31, 2024, the Company recognized pre-tax charges of approximately $47.8 million on the disposal of the business, which were recorded as a
component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the consolidated statement of operations.
Upjohn Distributor Markets
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded charges totaling $136.4 million related to the divestiture of the
commercialization rights in the Upjohn Distributor Markets, primarily consisting of losses on the disposals of $85.2 million, which were recorded as a
component of Other Expense (Income), Net. The divestitures of the commercialization rights in the majority of the Upjohn Distributor Markets closed
during 2023 and 2024.
Biocon Biologics Transaction
On November 29, 2022, Viatris completed a transaction to contribute its biosimilars portfolio to Biocon Biologics. Under the terms of the Biocon
Agreement, Viatris received approximately $3 billion in consideration in the form of a $2 billion cash payment, adjusted as set forth in the Biocon
Agreement, and approximately $1 billion of CCPS representing a stake of approximately 12.9% (on a fully diluted basis) in Biocon Biologics at closing.
In December 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements with Biocon for the sale of the Company’s equity stake in Biocon Biologics.
Under the terms of the definitive agreements, Biocon acquired all of Viatris’ CCPS in Biocon Biologics for total consideration of $815.0 million, consisting
of $400.0 million in cash and $415.0 million in newly issued equity shares of Biocon, which are listed and traded on the National Stock Exchange of India.
The transaction closed during the first quarter of 2026 and the shares are subject to a six-month lock up period. In addition, the terms of the definitive
agreements accelerate the expiration of biosimilars non-compete restrictions previously placed on Viatris in 2022 in connection with Viatris’ sale of its
biosimilars portfolio and related commercial and other capabilities to Biocon Biologics. These restrictions expired immediately at the time of close for all
ex-U.S. markets and will expire in November 2026 for U.S. markets. Refer to Note 9 Financial Instruments and Risk Management for further discussion.
The Biocon Agreement provided for a closing working capital target of $250 million, of which $220 million was paid by Viatris to Biocon
Biologics during 2023. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Biocon Agreement, the Company was entitled to receive a total of $335 million of
additional cash payments in 2024 as deferred consideration. The Company received $245 million in deferred cash consideration payments from Biocon
Biologics during 2024, and Viatris and Biocon Biologics agreed to offset certain amounts due between the parties, including the remaining $30 million of
the closing working capital target, against the deferred cash consideration. In conjunction with the final settlement of amounts due between the parties, the
Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $60.0 million as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the consolidated statements of operations during the
fourth quarter of 2024. Biocon Biologics has fulfilled its obligations with respect to all deferred cash consideration and Viatris has fulfilled its obligations
with respect to the closing working capital target under the Biocon Agreement pursuant to the final settlement.
At the time of closing of the Biocon Biologics Transaction, Viatris and Biocon Biologics also entered an agreement pursuant to which Viatris was
providing commercialization and certain other transition services on behalf of Biocon Biologics, including billings, collections and the remittance of
rebates, to ensure business continuity for patients, customers and colleagues. Biocon Biologics had substantially exited all transition services with Viatris as
of December 31, 2023.

originally negotiated with the suppliers, regardless of whether the intermediary pays the supplier in advance of the original due date. The range of payment
terms the Company negotiates with suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether a supplier participates in a supply chain finance program. The total
amounts due to financial intermediaries to settle supplier invoices under supply chain finance programs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were
$34.5 million and $41.9 million, respectively. These amounts are included within Accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

Leases
The Company has operating leases of real estate, consisting primarily of administrative offices, manufacturing and distribution facilities, and R&D
facilities. We also have operating leases of certain equipment, primarily automobiles, and certain limited supply arrangements.
We elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for our leases except for those related to certain limited
supply arrangements. We have also elected to apply the short-term lease recognition exemption which means we will not recognize ROU assets or lease
liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months of less.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized ROU assets of $271.3 million and total lease liabilities of $287.5 million. The Company’s
ROU assets are recorded in other assets. The related lease liability balances are recorded in other current liabilities and other long-term obligations in the
consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 Balance Sheet Components for additional information.
ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an applicable incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at
commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Options to extend or terminate the ROU assets are reviewed at lease inception
and these options are accounted for when they are reasonably certain of being exercised.

an accumulated impairment loss of $929.0 million.
Balances as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 include an accumulated impairment loss of $651.8 million, $351.0 million, and $30.0 million,
respectively.
Balance as of December 31, 2025 includes an accumulated impairment loss of $499.0 million. Balances as of December 31, 2024 and 2023
include an accumulated impairment loss of $124.0 million.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually on April 1st or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company experienced a sharp and sustained decline in its share
price and significantly increased uncertainty and volatility in the geopolitical and economic environments in which the Company operates. As a result of
these factors, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred for each of its reporting units and performed an interim goodwill impairment
test as of March 31, 2025.
The Company also performed the annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2025. There were no significant changes from the interim
goodwill test performed at March 31, 2025 and the results were consistent with the interim goodwill impairment test. Also, no triggering events have been
identified since the April 1, 2025 impairment test date.
The Company performed both its interim and annual goodwill impairment tests on a quantitative basis for its five reporting units, North America,
Europe, Emerging Markets, JANZ, and Greater China. In estimating each reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performed an extensive valuation
analysis, utilizing a discounted cash flow approach. The determination of the fair value of the reporting units requires the Company to make significant
estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting unit’s expected future cash flows. These estimates and assumptions, utilizing Level 3 inputs, primarily
include, but are not limited to, the discount rate, terminal growth rates, operating income before depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures
forecasts and control premiums.
For the March 31, 2025 interim goodwill impairment test, when compared to the prior year annual goodwill impairment test completed on April 1,
2024, the significantly increased uncertainty and volatility in the geopolitical and economic environments in which the Company operates increased the
Company’s business risks, including, but not limited to, the potential for continued or additional drug pricing reduction pressures, general uncertainty
related to timing of responses and approvals from the FDA resulting from evolving regulatory priorities and associated changes to the operations of the
agency, and the potential for adverse impacts from future tariffs and trade restrictions. The negative impact of any or all of these factors could be material.
The significant increase in business risks and uncertainty led to an increase in discount rate assumptions impacting all reporting units as compared to the
April 1, 2024 annual goodwill impairment test.

For the North America reporting unit at March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the
forecast period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately 3.1%. A terminal year value was calculated with a negative 3.0% revenue
growth rate applied. The discount rate utilized was 12.5% and the estimated tax rate was 24.8%.
For the Europe reporting unit at March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast
period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately 3.3%. A terminal year value was calculated with a 2.0% revenue growth rate applied.
The discount rate utilized was 12.0% and the estimated tax rate was 15.8%.
For the Emerging Markets reporting unit at March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During
the forecast period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately 3.5%. A terminal year value was calculated with a 2.0% revenue growth
rate applied. The discount rate utilized was 14.5% and the estimated tax rate was 16.7%.
For the JANZ reporting unit at March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast
period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately negative 0.9%. A terminal year value was calculated with a 1.0% revenue growth rate
applied. The discount rate utilized was 8.5% and the estimated tax rate was 30.2%. After the goodwill impairment charge recorded during the first quarter
of 2025, there is no remaining goodwill allocated to the JANZ reporting unit.
Following the goodwill impairment charges recorded in these reporting units, since the carrying value of the reporting units is equal to their
estimated fair value as of March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, if market conditions or the projected results were to negatively change, it may be necessary to
record further impairment charges to one or more of these reporting units in future periods. Any such future charges could be material.
For the Greater China reporting unit, the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately $322.0 million or 5.8% for both the
March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025 goodwill impairment tests. As it relates to the discounted cash flow approach for the Greater China reporting unit at
March 31, 2025 and April 1, 2025, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast period, the revenue compound annual
growth rate was approximately 1.6%. A terminal year value was calculated with a negative 1.5% revenue growth rate applied. The discount rate utilized
was 15.0% and the estimated tax rate was 24.7%. If all other assumptions are held constant, a reduction in the terminal value growth rate by 3.5% or an
increase in discount rate by 1.0% would result in an impairment charge for the Greater China reporting unit.
In conjunction with its April 1, 2024 annual goodwill impairment test, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $321.0 million
during the second quarter of 2024 related to its JANZ reporting unit. The impairment charge was primarily the result of a 1.0% increase in the discount rate
and a 0.5% reduction in the terminal growth rate assumption for the reporting unit compared with the assumptions used for the April 1, 2023 annual
goodwill impairment test.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the OTC Business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Company allocated goodwill to its OTC
Business using a relative fair value approach and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $580.1 million in that quarter within the Europe (majority of
the charge), JANZ and Emerging Markets reporting units. The goodwill impairment charge was the result of the estimated proceeds less selling costs from
the planned divestiture of the OTC Business being below the carrying value of the net assets of the disposal group. Refer to Note 5 Divestitures for
additional information.

Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, changes in
underlying assumptions, especially as they relate to the key assumptions detailed, could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting units.

On July 18, 2025, the Company announced that a randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and
safety of pimecrolimus 0.3% (MR-139) ophthalmic ointment in subjects with blepharitis did not meet its primary endpoint of complete resolution of debris
after six weeks of twice daily dosing. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company made the decision not to proceed with an additional Phase 3 study.
As a result, the Company fully impaired the related IPR&D asset and recorded impairment expense of $71.7 million in its consolidated statements of
operations.
During 2024, the Company concluded that certain of its IPR&D assets were fully impaired due to unfavorable clinical results and/or changes in
market conditions which led to the termination of the development programs.
The assessment for impairment of finite-lived intangibles is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets or asset
grouping by analyzing the expected future undiscounted pre-tax cash flows specific to the asset or asset grouping. If the carrying amount is greater than the
undiscounted cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value based on
discounted cash flows.
Significant management judgment is involved in estimating the recoverability of these assets and is dependent upon the accuracy of the
assumptions used in making these estimates, as well as how the estimates compare to the eventual future operating performance of the specific asset or
asset grouping. The fair value of finite-lived intangible assets was calculated as the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using a market rate
of return. The assumptions inherent in the estimated future cash flows include, among other things, the impact of the current competitive environment and
future market expectations. Any future long-lived assets impairment charges could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized intangible asset charges of approximately $32.0 million, recorded within
Cost of Sales in the consolidated statements of operations, to write down the disposal group to fair value, less cost to sell, related to our commercialization
rights in the Upjohn Distributor Markets, which was classified as held for sale. Refer to Note 5 Divestitures for additional information.
The Company’s IPR&D assets are tested at least annually for impairment or upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Impairment is determined
to exist when the fair value of IPR&D assets, which is based upon updated forecasts and commercial development plans, is less than the carrying value of
the assets being tested. The fair value of IPR&D was calculated as the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using a market rate of return.
The assumptions inherent in the estimated future cash flows include, among other things, the impact of changes to the development programs, the projected
development and regulatory time frames and the current competitive environment. Discount rates ranging between 14.5% and 20.0% were utilized in the
valuations performed during the year ended December 31, 2025. Discount rates ranging between 11.0% and 24.0% were utilized in the valuations
performed during the year ended December 31, 2024. Discount rates ranging between 10.0% and 24.0% were utilized in the valuations performed during
the year ended December 31, 2023.
The fair value of both IPR&D and finite-lived intangible assets was determined based upon detailed valuations employing the income approach
which utilized Level 3 inputs, as defined in Note 9 Financial Instruments and Risk Management. Changes to any of the Company’s assumptions including
changes to or abandonment of development programs, regulatory timelines, discount rates or the competitive environment related to the assets could lead to
future material impairment charges.
Intangible asset amortization expense for the years ending December 31, 2026 through 2030 is estimated to be as follows:

Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company is exposed to certain financial risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary financial risks that are managed by
using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
In order to manage certain foreign currency risks, the Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate risk associated with
changes in spot exchange rates of mainly non-functional currency denominated assets or liabilities. The foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at
fair value and reported as current assets or current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Any gains or losses on the foreign exchange forward
contracts are recognized in earnings in the period incurred in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company has also entered into forward contracts to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated sales from certain international
subsidiaries and a portion of forecasted intercompany inventory sales denominated in Euro, Japanese Yen, and Chinese Renminbi for up to eighteen
months. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges to manage foreign currency transaction risk and are measured at fair value and reported as
current assets or current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Any changes in the fair value of designated cash flow hedges are deferred in AOCE
and are reclassified into earnings when the hedged item impacts earnings.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company may hedge the foreign currency risk associated with certain net investment positions in foreign subsidiaries by either borrowing
directly in foreign currencies and designating all or a portion of the foreign currency debt as a hedge of the applicable net investment position or entering
into foreign currency swaps that are designated as hedges of net investments.
The Company has designated certain Euro and Yen borrowings as a hedge of its investment in certain Euro-functional and Yen-functional
currency subsidiaries in order to manage foreign currency translation risk. Borrowings designated as net investment hedges are marked-to-market using the
current spot exchange rate as of the end of the period, with gains and losses included in the foreign currency translation component of AOCE until the sale
or substantial liquidation of the underlying net investments. In addition, the Company manages the related foreign exchange risk of the Euro and Yen
borrowings not designated as net investment hedges through certain Euro and Yen denominated financial assets and forward currency swaps.
The following table summarizes the principal amounts of the Company’s outstanding Euro and Yen borrowings and the notional amounts of the
Euro and Yen borrowings designated as net investment hedges:

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company executed fixed-rate cross-currency interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling Japanese Yen
14.6 billion with settlement dates through 2026. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company executed fixed-rate cross-currency interest rate swaps
with notional amounts totaling €500 million with settlement dates through 2026. The transactions hedge a portion of the Company’s net investment in
certain Yen- and Euro-functional currency subsidiaries. All changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments, which are designated as net investment
hedges, are marked-to-market using the current spot exchange rate as of the end of the period. The portion of these changes related to the excluded
component will be amortized in interest expense over the life of the derivative while the remainder will be recorded in AOCE until the sale or substantial
liquidation of the underlying net investments. The semiannual net interest payment received related to the fixed-rate component of the cross-currency
interest rate swaps will be reflected in operating cash flows. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company terminated its Yen fixed-rate cross-currency
interest rate swaps in exchange for $3.4 million in cash proceeds, net of fees.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company executed foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts totaling €500 million. During
the second quarter of 2024, the Company executed additional foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts totaling €600 million. The
transactions hedged a portion of the Company’s net investment in certain Euro functional currency subsidiaries. The contracts were designated as a net
investment hedge and matured in July 2024.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company executed foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts totaling Chinese Renminbi
1.42 billion (approximately $200 million) maturing in December 2026 and Chinese Renminbi 695 million (approximately $100 million) maturing in
December 2027. The transactions hedge a portion of the Company’s net investment in certain Chinese Renminbi functional currency subsidiaries. The
contracts were designated as net investment hedges.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company enters into interest rate swaps from time to time in order to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed-rate and
floating-rate debt. Interest rate swaps that meet specific accounting criteria are accounted for as fair value or cash flow hedges. All derivative instruments
used to manage interest rate risk are measured at fair value and reported as current assets or current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. For fair
value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the hedging instrument and the underlying debt obligations are included in interest expense. For cash
flow hedges, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is deferred through AOCE and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged item impacts
earnings.
Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
The Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges fix the interest rate on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt or hedge
part of the Company’s interest rate exposure associated with the variability in the future cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates. Any changes in
fair value are included in earnings or deferred through AOCE, depending on the nature and effectiveness of the offset. Any ineffectiveness in a cash flow
hedging relationship is recognized immediately in earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.
Credit Risk Management
The Company regularly reviews the creditworthiness of its financial counterparties and does not expect to incur a significant loss from the failure
of any counterparties to perform under any agreements. The Company is not subject to any obligations to post collateral under derivative instrument
contracts. Certain derivative instrument contracts entered into by the Company are governed by master agreements, which contain credit-risk-related
contingent features that would allow the counterparties to terminate the contracts early and request immediate payment should the Company trigger an
event of default on other specified borrowings. The Company records all derivative instruments on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets.
Accordingly, there are no offsetting amounts that net assets against liabilities.

Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an identical asset or paid to transfer an identical liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, a fair
value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are
described below:
Level 1:        Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair
value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2:        Observable market-based inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 3:        Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3
inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified in the tables below in one of the three categories described above:

For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including
interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange forward prices and bank price quotes. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers
between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:
•
Cash equivalents — valued at observable net asset value prices.
•
Equity securities, exchange traded funds — valued at the active quoted market prices from broker or dealer quotations or transparent pricing
sources at the reporting date. Unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in fair value are included in Other Expense (Income), Net, in
the consolidated statements of operations.
•
Equity securities, marketable securities — valued using quoted stock prices from public exchanges at the reporting date. Unrealized gains and
losses attributable to changes in fair value are included in Other Expense (Income), Net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
•
CCPS in Biocon Biologics — The Company elected the fair value option for the CCPS under ASC 825. The fair value is reassessed quarterly
and any change in the fair value estimate is recorded in Other Expense (Income), Net in the consolidated statements of operations for that
period. As of December 31, 2024, the CCPS were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model using Level 3 inputs. As a result of the
execution of the definitive agreements with Biocon and the corresponding availability of observable inputs (refer to Note 5 Divestitures for
more information), the fair value of the CCPS in Biocon Biologics of $815.0 million was transferred out of Level 3 to Level 2 classification
of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company’s policy regarding the timing of transfers between levels
is to measure and record the transfers at the end of the reporting period. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the
Company recorded a loss (gain) of $534.8 million, $(373.5) million, and $21.1 million, respectively, as a result of remeasuring the CCPS in
Biocon Biologics to fair value. The Company’s CCPS in Biocon Biologics are classified as equity securities and are included in Other Assets
in the consolidated balance sheets.
•
Available-for-sale fixed income investments — valued at the quoted market prices from broker or dealer quotations or transparent pricing
sources at the reporting date. Unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in fair value, net of income taxes, are included in
accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of shareholders’ equity.
•
Interest rate swaps and foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities — valued using interest yield curves, quoted forward foreign
exchange prices and spot rates at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions.
Contingent Consideration
In December 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize a
generic equivalent to GlaxoSmithKline’s Advair Diskus® incorporating Pfizer’s Respiratory Delivery Platform. The Company accounted for this
transaction as a purchase of a business and utilized the acquisition method of accounting. On January 30, 2019, the Company received FDA approval of
Wixela Inhub® (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol inhalation powder, USP), the first generic of GlaxoSmithKline’s Advair Diskus®. The commercial
launch of the Wixela Inhub® occurred in February 2019. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a contingent consideration liability of
$64.6 million and $176.3 million, respectively, related to the Respiratory Delivery Platform.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a contingent consideration liability of $307.0 million and $378.0 million, respectively,
related to the Idorsia Transaction. As a result of the February 25, 2025 letter agreement entered into that amended certain terms of the original development
agreement for selatogrel and cenerimod, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment gain of approximately $107.0 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 4 Acquisitions and Other Transactions for additional information.
The measurement of these contingent consideration liabilities is calculated using unobservable Level 3 inputs based on the Company’s own
assumptions primarily related to the probability and timing of future events, including the timing of additional potential competition, and payments which
are discounted using a market rate of return. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, discount rates ranging from 8.5% to 19.0%, and 9.0% to 19.0%, respectively,
were utilized in the valuations. Significant changes in unobservable inputs could result in material changes to the contingent consideration liabilities.

The following provides an overview of the Company’s short-term credit facilities.
Receivables Facility
The Company has a Receivables Facility for up to an aggregate amount of $600 million which expires in April 2028. Under the terms of the
Receivables Facility, certain of our accounts receivable secure the amounts borrowed and cannot be used to pay our other debts or liabilities. The amount
that we may borrow at a given point in time is determined based on the amount of qualifying accounts receivable that are present at such point in time.
Borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Facility bear interest at the applicable base rate plus applicable margins and are included as a
component of short-term borrowings, while the accounts receivable securing these obligations remain as a component of accounts receivable, net, in our
consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the agreement governing the Receivables Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants,
and customary default and termination provisions with which the Company was compliant as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company had $409.4 million and $484.1 million, respectively, of accounts receivable balances sold to its subsidiary Mylan Securitization LLC under
the Receivables Facility.

On September 16, 2024, Viatris and Mylan Inc. completed cash tender offers for their then-outstanding 1.650% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025
Senior Notes”) and 2.125% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Euro Senior Notes”), respectively. Viatris paid $422.3 million to repurchase $432.0 million
aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes at a repurchase price equal to 97.8% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes
accepted for tender, and also paid accrued and unpaid interest. Mylan Inc. paid €206.9 million to repurchase €208.1 million aggregate principal amount of
the 2025 Euro Senior Notes at a repurchase price equal to 99.4% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Euro Senior Notes accepted for tender, and
also paid accrued and unpaid interest. On September 20, 2024, Utah Acquisition Sub Inc. also completed a cash tender offer for its then-outstanding
3.950% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes” and, together with the 2025 Senior Notes and the 2025 Euro Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”)

$318.0 million aggregate principal amount as it becomes due. After the deposit of such funds with the trustee, the Company’s obligations under the 2025
Senior Notes Indenture with respect to the 2025 Senior Notes were satisfied and discharged. In addition, on September 16, 2024, after completing the
tender offer, Mylan Inc. issued a notice of redemption for the remaining €291.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Euro Senior Notes and such
redemption was completed on October 16, 2024.
The tender offers and satisfaction and discharge of the Senior Notes were completed using cash and cash equivalents on hand and accounted for as
a debt extinguishment. The total gain recognized on the debt extinguishment (net of the write off of related unamortized deferred financing fees) for the

For those foreign subsidiaries whose investments are permanent in duration, income and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on the
unremitted earnings of those subsidiaries. This amount may become taxable upon a repatriation of assets from the subsidiary or a sale or liquidation of the
subsidiary. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on these unremitted earnings is not practicable as such
determination involves material uncertainties about the potential extent and timing of any distributions, the availability and complexity of calculating
foreign tax credits, and the potential indirect tax consequences of such distributions, including withholding taxes.

In all years, our effective tax rate is impacted by the jurisdictional location of earnings and the corresponding tax rates in those jurisdictions. The
Company realizes benefits from lower tax rates in Singapore and Puerto Rico due to manufacturing and other incentives.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, as a result of legislation changes surrounding Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (“Pillar Two
Rules”), the Company recognized $734.6 million of previously unrecorded Luxembourg net operating losses which are offset by a corresponding valuation
allowance.
Valuation Allowance
A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At
December 31, 2025, a valuation allowance has been applied to certain deferred tax assets in the amount of $1.44 billion.
When assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers all available evidence, including historical information, long-term
forecasts of future taxable income and possible tax planning strategies. Amounts recorded for valuation allowances can result from a complex series of
estimates, assumptions and judgments about future events. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, assumptions and judgments,
actual results could differ materially. Any future increases to the Company’s valuation allowances could materially impact the Company’s consolidated
financial condition and results of operations.
Net Operating Losses
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had the following carryforwards and attributes:
•
U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $214.6 million, which were recorded in connection with the Oyster Point acquisition.
While the utilization of these carryforwards is subject to Section 382 of the Code, the Company does not anticipate that this limitation
will impair our ability to utilize the carryovers.

On November 16, 2020, the Company had a change in ownership pursuant to Section 382 of the Code. Under this provision of the Code, the
utilization of any NOL or tax credit carryforwards incurred prior to the date of ownership change may be limited. Analyses of the limits for each ownership
change indicates the annual limitation would not impair the Company's ability to utilize our U.S. federal credit carryovers. While state loss carryforwards
may be limited by Section 382 of the Code, the carryforwards are largely offset by a valuation allowance.
Legislative Updates
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting
businesses, including permanent extensions of most expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions and international tax changes. The OBBBA did not have a
significant impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2025. We will continue to
evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law, which includes a new corporate alternative
minimum tax (“CAMT”) and an excise tax of 1% on the fair market value of net stock repurchases. Both provisions are effective for years after December
31, 2022. The Company reflected the applicable estimated excise tax in treasury stock as part of the cost basis of the stock repurchased and recorded a
corresponding liability in Other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The share repurchase and
authorization amounts otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-K exclude the excise tax. The Company does not anticipate being subject to the 15% CAMT tax
in 2025 based on enacted law and regulatory guidance; however, its CAMT status could change in the future, depending on new regulations or regulatory
guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, including with respect to the OBBBA.
In addition, many countries are actively considering or have proposed or enacted changes to their tax laws based on the Pillar Two Rules proposed
by the OECD. The Pillar Two Rules impose a global minimum tax of 15%, and under these rules, the Company may be required to pay a “top-up” tax to
the extent our effective tax rate in any given country is below 15%. Several countries have enacted the Pillar Two Rules effective January 1, 2024, with
many countries postponing implementation to January 1, 2025 or later, if at all. After determining which jurisdictions are not required to calculate a Pillar
Two liability as a result of the existing safe harbors, the Company has determined that while the impact of the Pillar Two Rules in the countries that have
enacted such rules effective for tax years ending on or before December 31, 2025 did increase its effective tax rate, the impact is not material to its results
for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the evolving tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which it
operates which could impact future tax provision and financial results, such as the Side-by-Side (“SbS”) package announced by the OECD on January 5,
2026. The package introduces simplifications and new safe harbors for U.S. and other multinational companies where domestic and international tax
systems meet robust requirements to coexist with Pillar Two which would fully exempt U.S. parented groups from the application of two of the three Pillar
Two top up taxes and also extends the current Transitional Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) Safe Harbor by one year, through the end of fiscal year
of 2027.
Tax Examinations
The Company is subject to income taxes and tax audits in many jurisdictions. A certain degree of estimation is thus required in recording the
assets and liabilities related to income taxes. Tax audits and examinations can involve complex issues, interpretations, and judgments and the resolution of
matters that may span multiple years, particularly if subject to litigation or negotiation.
Although the Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for these uncertain tax positions, the Company’s assessment of
uncertain tax positions, including those arising from legal entity restructuring transactions in connection with the Combination, is based on estimates and
assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable but the
128

Table of Contents
estimates for unrecognized tax benefits and potential tax benefits may not be representative of actual outcomes, and variations from such estimates could
materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period of resolution, settlement or when the statutes of
limitations expire.
The Company is subject to ongoing IRS examinations. The years 2020 through 2024 are open years, with 2020 and 2021 under examination.
Several international audits are currently in progress. In some cases, the tax auditors have proposed adjustments or issued assessments to our tax
positions, including with respect to intercompany transactions, and we are in ongoing discussions with some of the auditors regarding the validity of their
tax positions.
In instances where assessments have been issued, we disagree with these assessments and believe they are without merit and incorrect as a matter
of law. As a result, we anticipate that certain of these matters may become the subject of litigation before tax courts where we intend to vigorously defend
our position.
In Australia, the tax authorities issued notices of assessments to the Company for the years ended December 2009 to December 2020, subject to
additional interest and penalties, concerning our tax position with respect to certain intercompany transactions. The tax authorities denied our objections to
the assessments for the years ended December 2009 to December 2020 and we commenced litigation in the Australian Federal Court challenging those
decisions. A trial took place in October 2023 and on March 20, 2024, the Court issued a decision in favor of the Company. The tax authorities did not
appeal the Court decision. The Company made a partial payment of $56.0 million in 2021 and $5.2 million in 2022 in order to stay potential interest and
penalties resulting from this litigation, which was refunded in 2024.
In France, the tax authorities issued notices of assessments to the Company for the years ended December 2013 to December 2015 concerning our
tax position with respect to whether income earned by a Company entity not domiciled in France should be subject to French tax. We commenced litigation
before the French tax courts where the tax authorities are seeking unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest. In February 2026, the first instance tax court upheld
the Company’s tax position and fully cancelled the notices of assessment.
In India, the tax authorities have issued notices of assessments to the Company seeking unpaid taxes and interest for the financial years covering
2013 to 2018 concerning our tax position with respect to certain corporate tax deductions and certain intercompany transactions. Some of these issues were
resolved through the Company entering into an agreement with the tax authorities in March 2023 in respect of the pricing of its international transactions.
The Company recorded tax expense of approximately     $22.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, due to the terms of this agreement. The
remaining issues are in the audit phase or are being challenged in the Indian tax courts.
In Italy, the tax authorities have issued notices of assessments to the Company for the years ended December 2016 to December 2018, seeking
unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest, concerning our tax position with respect to certain intercompany transactions. We have commenced litigation before
the Italian tax courts challenging those assessments and, to date, the Company’s position has been upheld, subject to further appeal by the tax authorities.
In 2020, the Swedish Tax Authorities (“STA”) asserted an underpayment of tax against Meda A.B. for the tax years 2014 to 2019. The claim was
that profits earned by its Luxembourg subsidiary should have been attributed to Meda A.B. The Company appealed the STA’s assessment to the
Administrative Court of Stockholm. On September 16, 2022, the Court ruled in favor of Meda A.B. that no tax was due. The STA appealed that decision.
On April 10, 2024, the Administrative Court of Appeals overturned the lower Court’s ruling and issued a decision in favor of the STA upholding its
original assessment. The amount due including interest and penalties is approximately $18.2 million, which was paid during the second quarter of 2024.
The Company’s petition seeking review of the decision to the Supreme Administrative Court was denied and this matter is now closed.
The Company has recorded a net reserve for uncertain tax positions of $293.6 million and $277.0 million, including interest and penalties, in
connection with its international audits at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In connection with our international tax audits, it is possible that we
will incur material losses above the amounts reserved.
The Company’s major U.S. state taxing jurisdictions remain open from fiscal year 2015 through 2024, with several state audits currently in
progress. The Company’s major international taxing jurisdictions remain open from 2013 through 2024.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The impact of an uncertain tax position that is more likely than not of being sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority must be
recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained. No portion of an uncertain tax position will be recognized if the position has
less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect net liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $263.2
million and $255.7 million, respectively, of which $192.9 million as of December 31, 2025 would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized,
with the remainder being offset by potential correlative adjustments. Related accrued interest and penalties included in the consolidated balance sheets were
$110.5 million and $106.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company
recognized $6.2 million, $(0.3) million, and $15.4 million of tax expense/(benefit), respectively, related to interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes are included in the tax provision.
A reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Additional stock awards and Restricted Stock Awards were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 but were not
included in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share for each respective period because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Excluded shares also
include certain PSUs whose performance conditions had not been fully met. Such excluded shares and anti-dilutive awards represented 28.1 million, 19.9
million and 16.4 million shares for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.12 per share on the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in March 2025, June
2025, September 2025 and December 2025. On February 23, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share
on the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, which will be payable on March 18, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on
March 9, 2026. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of the Company’s common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of
Directors, and will depend upon factors, including but not limited to, the Company’s financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of its businesses,
legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. The Company also paid quarterly
cash dividends of $0.12 per share on the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in each of the four quarters of 2024 and 2023.
On May 6, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, which
allows shareholders to automatically reinvest all or a portion of the cash dividends paid on their shares of the Company’s common stock and to make
certain additional optional cash investments in the Company’s common stock.
On February 28, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to
$1.0 billion of the Company’s shares of common stock. The Company subsequently announced that on February 26, 2024, its Board of Directors
authorized a $1.0 billion increase to the Company’s previously announced $1.0 billion share repurchase program. As a result, the Company’s share
repurchase program now authorizes the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of the Company’s shares of common stock. Such repurchases may be made from
time-to-time at the Company’s discretion and effected by any means, including but not limited to, open market repurchases, pursuant to plans in accordance
with Rules 10b5-1 or 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated stock repurchase programs) or any
combination of such methods as the Company deems appropriate. The program does not have an expiration date. The share repurchase program does not
obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock.

Table of Contents
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 53.7 million shares of common stock at a
cost of approximately $500.5 million, approximately 19.2 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $250.0 million, and approximately
21.2 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $250.0 million, respectively, under the program. As of December 31, 2025, the Company
had repurchased a total of approximately 94.2 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $1.0 billion under the program.
14. Share-Based Incentive Plan
Prior to the Distribution, Viatris adopted and Pfizer, in the capacity as Viatris’ sole stockholder at such time, approved the 2020 Incentive Plan (the
Viatris Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan) which became effective as of the Distribution. In connection with the Combination, as of November 16, 2020, the
Company assumed the 2003 LTIP (Mylan N.V. Amended and Restated 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan), which had previously been approved by Mylan
shareholders. The 2020 Incentive Plan includes 72,500,000 shares of Viatris’ common stock authorized for grant pursuant to the 2020 Incentive Plan,
which may include dividend payments payable in common stock on unvested shares granted under awards. No shares remain available for issuance under
the 2003 LTIP, however, certain awards remain outstanding under the plan.
The Board approved an amendment to the 2020 Incentive Plan, which was approved by Viatris shareholders on December 6, 2024, to increase the
maximum aggregate number of shares of Viatris common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan by 49,000,000.
Under the 2020 Incentive Plan, shares are reserved for issuance to key employees, consultants, independent contractors and non-employee
directors of the Company through a variety of incentive awards, including: stock options, SARs, restricted stock and units, PSUs, other stock-based awards
and short-term cash awards. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares underlying the stock options
at the date of the grant, generally become exercisable over periods ranging from three to four years, and generally expire in ten years.
The following table summarizes stock awards (stock options and SARs) activity:

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $163.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all
of its stock-based awards, which we expect to recognize over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.4 years. The total intrinsic value of
Restricted Stock Awards released and stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $121.5 million and $141.7 million,
respectively.
15. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors various defined benefit pension plans in several countries. Benefits provided generally depend on length of service, pay
grade and remuneration levels. Employees in the U.S., Puerto Rico and certain international locations are also provided retirement benefits through defined
contribution plans.
The Company also sponsors other postretirement benefit plans including plans that provide for postretirement supplemental medical coverage.
Benefits from these plans are provided to employees and their spouses and dependents who meet various minimum age and service requirements. In
addition, the Company sponsors other plans that provide for life insurance benefits and postretirement medical coverage for certain officers and
management employees.
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
The Company recognizes on its balance sheet an asset or liability equal to the over- or under-funded benefit obligation of each defined benefit
pension and other postretirement plan. Actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period are not recognized as
components of net periodic benefit cost, but are recognized, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive (loss) earnings.
Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are:

The unrecognized net actuarial gains exceeded 10% of the higher of the market value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation at the
beginning of the year for certain of the plans, therefore, amortization of such excess has been included in net periodic benefit costs for pension and other
postretirement benefits in each of the last three years. The amortization period is the average remaining service period that active employees are expected to
receive benefits, unless a plan is mostly inactive in which case the amortization period is the average remaining life expectancy of the plan participants.
Unrecognized prior service cost (credit) is amortized over the future service periods of those employees who are active at the dates of the plan amendments
and who are expected to receive benefits. If all or almost all of a plan's participants are inactive, unrecognized prior service cost is amortized over the
remaining life expectancy of those participants.

On July 17, 2025, the Company approved an amendment to terminate one of its defined benefit plans in the United States (the "U.S. Plan"). The
distribution of the U.S. Plan assets pursuant to the termination will not be made until the plan termination satisfies all regulatory requirements, which is
expected to be completed by the end of 2026. U.S. Plan participants will receive their full accrued benefits from plan assets by electing either lump sum
distributions or annuity contracts with a qualifying third-party annuity provider. The resulting settlement effect of the U.S. Plan termination will be
determined based on prevailing market conditions, the lump sum offer participation rate of eligible participants, the actual lump sum distributions, and
annuity purchase rates at the date of distribution. As a result, the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate either the timing or the final amount
of such settlement charges. Based on the valuation performed as of January 1, 2026, the U.S. Plan had an overfunded status of approximately $0.2 million.

The projected benefit obligation is the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to date, including the effects of
estimated future pay increases. The accumulated benefit obligation is the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to
date, but does not include the effects of estimated future pay increases. The accumulated benefit obligation for the Company’s pension plans was $1.35
billion and $1.29 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Fair Value of Plan Assets
The Company measures the fair value of plan assets based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy described in Note 9
Financial Instruments and Risk Management. The table below presents total plan assets by investment category as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the
classification of each investment category within the fair value hierarchy with respect to the inputs used to measure fair value:

Risk tolerance on invested pension plan assets is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate
financial condition. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through annual liability measures, periodic asset/liability studies and
investment portfolio reviews. The Company’s investment strategy is to maintain, where possible, a diversified investment portfolio across several asset
classes that, when combined with the Company’s contributions to the plans, will ensure that required benefit obligations are met.

The assumptions for each plan are reviewed on an annual basis. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the pension and other benefit
liabilities could be effectively settled at the measurement date. In setting the discount rates, we utilize comparable corporate bond indices as an indication
of interest rate movements and levels. Corporate bond indices were selected based on individual plan census data and duration. The expected return on plan
assets was determined using historical market returns and long-term historical relationships between equities and fixed income securities. The Company
compares the expected return on plan assets assumption to actual historic returns to ensure reasonableness. Current market factors such as inflation and
interest rates are also evaluated.
The weighted-average healthcare cost trend rate used for 2025 was 8.7% declining to a projected 4.0% in the year 2049. For 2026, the assumed
weighted-average healthcare cost trend rate used will be 8.6% declining to a projected 4.0% in the year 2050. In selecting rates for current and long-term
healthcare cost assumptions, the Company takes into consideration a number of factors including the Company’s actual healthcare cost increases, the
design of the Company’s benefit programs, the demographics of the Company’s active and retiree populations and external expectations of future medical
cost inflation rates.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments
The Company’s funding policy for its funded pension plans is based upon local statutory requirements. The Company’s funding policy is subject
to certain statutory regulations with respect to annual minimum and maximum company contributions. Plan benefits for the non-qualified plans are paid as
they come due.
Estimated benefit payments over the next ten years for the Company’s pension plans and retiree health plan are as follows:

Defined Contribution Plans
The Company sponsors defined contribution plans covering its employees in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, as well as certain employees in a number
of countries outside the U.S. The Company’s domestic defined contribution plans consist primarily of a Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan and other 401(k)
retirement plans. Profit sharing contributions are made at the discretion of the Company. The Company’s non-domestic plans vary in form depending on
local legal requirements. The Company’s contributions are based upon employee contributions, service hours, or pre-determined amounts depending upon
the plan. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as expense in the consolidated statements of operations when they are
earned.
137

Table of Contents
The Company maintains a 401(k) Restoration Plan, which permits employees who earn compensation in excess of the limits imposed by
Section 401(a)(17) of the Code to (i) defer a portion of base salary and bonus compensation, (ii) be credited with a Company matching contribution in
respect of deferrals under the 401(k) Restoration Plan, and (iii) be credited with Company non-elective contributions (to the extent so made by the
Company), in each case, to the extent that participants otherwise would be able to defer or be credited with such amounts, as applicable, under the Profit
Sharing 401(k) Plan if not for the limits on contributions and deferrals imposed by the Code.
The Company maintains an Income Deferral Plan, which permits certain management or highly compensated employees who are designated by
the plan administrator to participate in the Income Deferral Plan to elect to defer up to 50% of base salary and up to 100% of bonus compensation, in each
case, in addition to any amounts that may be deferred by such participants under the Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan and the 401(k) Restoration Plan. In
addition, under the Income Deferral Plan, eligible participants may be granted employee deferral awards, which awards will be subject to the terms and
conditions (including vesting) as determined by the plan administrator at the time such awards are granted.
Total employer contributions to defined contribution plans were approximately $138.2 million, $148.4 million and $129.3 million for the years
ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
16. Segment Information
Viatris has four reportable segments: Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ, and Emerging Markets. The Company reports segment
information on the basis of markets and geography, which reflects its focus on bringing its large and diversified portfolio of branded and generic products,
including complex products, to people in markets everywhere. Our Developed Markets segment comprises our operations primarily in North America and
Europe. Our Greater China segment includes our operations in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Our JANZ segment consists of our operations in
Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Our Emerging Markets segment encompasses our presence in more than 125 countries with developing markets and
emerging economies including in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East as well as the Company’s ARV franchise.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates the performance of its segments and
allocates resources based on total revenues and our measure of segment profit or loss, segment profitability. These financial metrics are used to review
operating trends, perform comparisons between periods, and monitor budget and forecast-to-actual variances on a regular basis. Net sales of our business
segments exclude intersegment sales as these activities are not regularly reviewed by the CODM and are eliminated in consolidation.
Certain costs and gains are not included in the measurement of segment profitability, or in segment cost of sales, and segment SG&A, as
management excludes these costs in assessing segment financial performance. Such costs and gains include:
◦
Intangible asset amortization expense;
◦
Asset impairments (including of goodwill, intangible assets (including IPR&D), and long-lived assets);
◦
R&D and Acquired IPR&D expense;
◦
Net charges or net gains for litigation settlements and other contingencies;
◦
Certain costs related to transactions and events such as: (i) purchase accounting adjustments, where we incur expenses associated with the
amortization of fair value adjustments to inventory and property, plant and equipment; (ii) share-based compensation expense; (iii) acquisition-
related costs, where we incur costs for executing the transaction, integrating the acquired operations and restructuring the combined company; and
(iv) other significant items, which are substantive and/or unusual, and in some cases recurring, items (such as restructuring, including costs
associated with facilities to be closed or divested, employee separation costs, impairment charges, accelerated depreciation, incremental
manufacturing variances, equipment relocation costs, decommissioning and other restructuring related costs, and certain remediation costs) that
are evaluated on an individual basis by management and that either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our
normal business on a regular basis. Such special items can include, but are not limited to, non-acquisition-related restructuring costs, as well as
costs incurred for asset impairments and costs, as well as gains and losses, related to disposals of assets or businesses, including those related to
divestitures, and, as applicable, any associated transition activities;
138

Table of Contents
◦
Corporate and other unallocated costs associated with global functions (such as IT, facilities, legal, finance, human resources, insurance,
public affairs, compliance, and procurement), patient advocacy activities and certain compensation and other corporate costs (such as certain
expenses associated with our manufacturing, including manufacturing variances associated with production) and operations that are not directly
assessed to an operating segment as business unit (segment) management does not manage these costs;
◦
Other Expense (Income), Net (including interest and dividend income, gains and losses from investments, business divestitures, and
foreign exchange); and
◦
Interest expense.
The Company does not report depreciation expense, total assets and capital expenditures by segment, as such information is not used by the
CODM.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Presented in the table below is segment information for the periods identified and a reconciliation of segment information to total consolidated

17. Commitments
The Company has entered into employment and other agreements with certain executives and other employees that provide for compensation,
retirement and certain other benefits. These agreements provide for severance payments under certain circumstances. Additionally, the Company has split-
dollar life insurance agreements with certain retired executives.
In addition, the Company periodically enters into retention agreements with certain key employees, whereby they may agree to continue to
provide service to the Company for a period of time. The Company records the expense for these agreements over the applicable service periods.
At the time of closing of the Biocon Biologics Transaction, Viatris and Biocon Biologics also entered an agreement pursuant to which Viatris was
providing commercialization and certain other transition services on behalf of Biocon Biologics, including billings, collections and the remittance of
rebates, to ensure business continuity for patients, customers and colleagues. Biocon Biologics had substantially exited all transition services with Viatris as
of December 31, 2023.
In connection with the divestitures, Viatris and the respective buyers entered into transition services and/or manufacturing and supply agreements
pursuant to which the Company is providing services to the respective purchasers, substantially the same as we previously provided to the related
businesses, generally for a period of up to 12 months for transition services and for periods between one to 10 years for manufacturing and supply
agreements, depending on the geographic market and the products subject to such agreement, subject to potential extensions in certain circumstances. In
addition, in connection with the OTC Transaction and the divestiture of our women’s healthcare business, we entered into distribution agreements for
certain markets for a limited period of time. In connection with the API business divestiture, we entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement
pursuant to which we are purchasing a significant amount of API from the purchaser in that transaction. Some of these agreements include various ongoing
financial obligations. The transition services were substantially concluded as of December 31, 2025.
In the normal course of business, Viatris periodically enters into acquisition, divestiture, collaboration, employment, legal settlement and other
agreements which incorporate indemnification provisions. The maximum amount to which Viatris may be exposed under such agreements cannot be
reasonably estimated due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular
agreement. Historically, we have not paid material amounts under these indemnification provisions. Further, for certain agreements, the Company
maintains insurance coverage, which management believes will effectively mitigate the Company’s obligations under these indemnification

provisions. No amounts have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements with respect to the Company’s obligations under such agreements.
18. Restructuring
2026 Restructuring Program
In 2025, the Company initiated an EWSR to enable the Company to build a more focused, efficient and future-ready organization and position the
Company for sustained growth beginning in 2026. On February 26, 2026, the Company announced the results of its EWSR, and as a part of the review,
committed to and began implementation of certain restructuring activities. These restructuring activities are expected to optimize the Company’s
commercial capabilities, enabling functions, R&D, medical affairs and regulatory activities, and sourcing, manufacturing and supply chain activities,
including inventory optimization. As a result, the Company expects a global workforce reduction of up to approximately 10%. The Company anticipates
that these restructuring activities, as well as associated costs and savings, will be completed primarily over the next three years.
The Company expects to record charges for costs associated with the restructuring activities of the EWSR. For the committed restructuring
activities, the Company expects to incur total pre-tax charges ranging between $700 million and $850 million.
2020 Restructuring Program
During 2020, Viatris announced a significant global restructuring program in order to achieve synergies and ensure that the organization was
optimally structured and efficiently resourced to deliver sustainable value to patients, shareholders, customers, and other stakeholders. As part of the
restructuring, the Company optimized its commercial capabilities and enabling functions, and closed, downsized or divested certain manufacturing
facilities globally that were deemed to be no longer viable either due to surplus capacity, challenging market dynamics or a shift in its product portfolio
toward more complex products. The actions under the 2020 restructuring program were substantially completed during 2023.
Since the initiation of the 2020 restructuring program, the Company has incurred total pre-tax charges of approximately $1.4 billion through
December 31, 2023. Such charges included approximately $450 million of non-cash charges mainly related to accelerated depreciation and asset
impairment charges, including inventory write-offs, and cash costs of approximately $950 million, primarily related to severance and employee benefits
expense, as well as other costs, including those related to contract terminations and other plant disposal costs.
The following table summarizes the restructuring charges and the reserve activity for the restructuring program:

     For the year ended December 31, 2023, total restructuring charges in Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ, Emerging Markets, and
Corporate/Other were approximately $80.3 million, $0.4 million, $29.5 million, $13.9 million, and $1.1 million, respectively.
     For the year ended December 31, 2023, other exit costs included expense of $71.6 million relating to plant divestitures.
Additional restructuring charges, primarily for facilities to be closed or disposed of, were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2025 and
2024 and are not a component of the 2020 restructuring program. At December 31, 2025, accrued liabilities for restructuring and other cost reduction
programs of $40.2 million were included in other current liabilities and $116.3 million were included in other long-term obligations in the consolidated
balance sheets.

19. Licensing and Other Partner Agreements
We periodically enter into licensing and other partner agreements with other pharmaceutical companies for the development, manufacture,
marketing and/or sale of pharmaceutical products. Our significant licensing and other partner agreements are primarily focused on the development,
manufacturing, supply and commercialization of multiple complex products. Under these agreements, we have future potential milestone payments and co-
development expenses payable to third parties as part of our licensing, development and co-development programs. Payments under these agreements
generally become due and are payable upon the satisfaction or achievement of certain developmental, regulatory or commercial milestones or as
development expenses are incurred on defined projects. Milestone payment obligations are uncertain, including the prediction of timing and the occurrence
of events triggering a future obligation and are not reflected as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, except for obligations reflected as acquisition
related contingent consideration, including those related to the Idorsia Transaction. Refer to Note 9 Financial Instruments and Risk Management for further
discussion of contingent consideration.
Our potential maximum development milestones not accrued for at December 31, 2025 totaled approximately $416 million. We estimate that the
amounts that may be paid during the next twelve months to be approximately $163 million. These agreements may also include potential sales-based
milestones and call for us to pay a percentage of amounts earned from the sale of the product as a royalty or a profit share. The amounts disclosed do not
include sales-based milestones or royalty or profit share obligations on future sales of product as the timing and amount of future sales levels and costs to
produce products subject to these obligations is not reasonably estimable. These sales-based milestones or royalty or profit share obligations may be
significant depending upon the level of commercial sales for each product.
Mapi
In 2018, the Company entered into an exclusive license and commercialization agreement with Mapi for the development and commercialization
on a world-wide basis of GA Depot.
The Company holds investments in preferred shares of Mapi that are accounted for at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes,
in accordance with ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company made an additional investment of
$30.0 million in preferred shares of Mapi. The preferred shares are convertible on a one-to-one basis into Mapi ordinary shares at Viatris’ option. The
Company recognized a gain of $45.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 as a result of remeasuring our pre-existing equity interest in Mapi,
which was recorded as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has determined that Mapi
represents a variable interest entity (“VIE”), but has concluded that Viatris is not the primary beneficiary of Mapi as we do not have the power to direct the
activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Accordingly, we have not consolidated Mapi’s results of operations
and financial position into our consolidated financial statements.
Also, in December 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement, as amended, with Mapi for the development and commercialization of
certain additional products, which is subject to finalization pending the execution of a definitive agreement. The Company made an initial upfront payment
of $75.0 million which was accounted for as Acquired IPR&D expense in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31,
2023.
In 2024, the Company was informed that Mapi received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) regarding the NDA for GA Depot 40 mg from the
FDA. In December 2024, the companies met with the FDA and reviewed the content of the CRL. As a result of the uncertainty of regulatory and
commercial timing and success of GA Depot and the financial condition of Mapi, the Company fully impaired its equity investment and prepaid assets
related to advances for the initial supply of commercial product. Total charges of $184.6 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024
as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the consolidated statements of operations. Following the impairment charges recorded during the year
ended December 31, 2024, the Company does not have any further loss exposure.
During 2025 and 2026, Viatris and Mapi have continued discussions to determine the appropriate next steps for the program as a result of the
CRL.
Revance
The Company and Revance have entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company and Revance are collaborating exclusively, on a
world-wide basis (excluding Japan), to develop, manufacture and commercialize a biosimilar to the branded biologic product (onabotulinumtoxinA)
marketed as BOTOX®. Under the agreement, the Company is primarily
143

Table of Contents
responsible for (a) clinical development activities outside of North America (excluding Japan) (b) regulatory activities, and (c) commercialization for any
approved product. Revance is primarily responsible for (a) non-clinical development activities, (b) clinical development activities in North America, and
(c) manufacturing and supply of clinical drug substance and drug product; Revance is solely responsible for an initial portion of non-clinical development
costs. The remaining portion of any non-clinical development costs and clinical development costs for obtaining approval in the U.S. and Europe is being
shared equally between the parties, and the Company is responsible for all other clinical development costs and commercialization expenses. In February
2025, Revance was acquired by Crown Laboratories, Inc.
Theravance Biopharma
The Company has a development and commercialization collaboration with Theravance Biopharma, for revefenacin. On November 9, 2018, the
Company announced that the FDA approved the NDA for YUPELRI® (revefenacin) inhalation solution for the maintenance treatment of patients with
COPD. YUPELRI®, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist, is the first and only once-daily, nebulized bronchodilator approved for the treatment of COPD in
the U.S. Viatris is responsible for commercial manufacturing and commercialization. Theravance Biopharma is co-promoting the product in the hospital
channel under a profit-sharing arrangement.
The Company has also acquired exclusive development and commercialization rights to nebulized revefenacin in China and adjacent territories,
which include Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, for an upfront payment of $18.5 million and additional potential development and sales milestones together
with tiered royalties on net sales of nebulized revefenacin. Viatris is responsible for all aspects of development and commercialization in the partnered
regions, including pre- and post-launch activities and product registration and all associated costs.
Under the terms of the agreements, Theravance Biopharma is eligible to receive potential development and sales milestone payments totaling
approximately $293 million in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has paid a total of $57.5 million in milestone payments to
Theravance Biopharma.
Other Development Agreements
On October 15, 2025, the Company acquired Aculys Pharma, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on commercializing innovative
treatments for neurological conditions. Viatris received rights to develop and commercialize pitolisant and Spydia®, two assets in the CNS therapy area,
further expanding Viatris’ portfolio of innovative products in Japan. As part of the transaction, Viatris acquired exclusive development and
commercialization rights in Japan for pitolisant, a selective/inverse agonist of the histamine H3 receptor. One indication is for the treatment of excessive
daytime sleepiness or
cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy and the second is for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness
associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The Japanese NDAs for both indications have been submitted to the Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical
Devices Agency and are under review by the agency. The transaction also includes exclusive rights in Japan and certain other markets in the Asia-Pacific
region for Spydia® Nasal Spray, which was approved in Japan in June 2025 for the treatment of status epilepticus and launched in December 2025. Under
the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company made a $35.0 million upfront payment to Aculys Pharma shareholders as consideration for the
acquisition, with additional consideration contingent upon the achievement of specified regulatory and commercial milestones, and royalties on net sales.
The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the upfront payment expensed as Acquired IPR&D in the fourth quarter of 2025.
In October 2024, the Company entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Lexicon for sotagliflozin in all markets outside of the U.S. and
Europe in exchange for an upfront payment of $25.0 million, and additional potential contingent payments, including regulatory milestones, sales
milestones and tiered royalties ranging from low-double-digit to upper-teens on annual net sales. Viatris is responsible for all regulatory and
commercialization activities for sotagliflozin in the licensed territories. Lexicon is responsible for providing clinical and commercial supply of sotagliflozin
to Viatris. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition, with the upfront payment expensed as Acquired IPR&D in 2024.
We are actively pursuing, and are currently involved in, joint projects related to the development, distribution and marketing of both generic and
branded products. Many of these arrangements provide for payments by us upon the attainment of specified milestones. While these arrangements help to
reduce the financial risk for unsuccessful projects, fulfillment of specified milestones or the occurrence of other obligations may result in fluctuations in
cash flows and Acquired IPR&D expense.

20. Litigation
The Company is involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inquiries, investigations and proceedings, and litigation matters,
both in the U.S. and abroad, that arise from time to time, some of which could result in losses, including damages, fines and/or civil penalties, and/or
criminal charges against the Company. These matters are often complex and have outcomes that are difficult to predict.
In addition, in connection with the Combination, the Company has generally assumed liability for, and control of, pending and threatened legal
matters relating to the Upjohn Business – including certain matters initiated against Pfizer described below – and has agreed to indemnify Pfizer for
liabilities arising out of such assumed legal matters. Pfizer, however, has agreed to retain various matters – including certain specified competition law
matters – to the extent they arise from conduct during the pre-Distribution period and has agreed to indemnify the Company for liabilities arising out of
such matters.
While the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses with respect to the claims asserted against it and the assumed legal matters referenced
above, and intends to vigorously defend its position, the process of resolving these matters is inherently uncertain and may develop over a long period of
time, and so it is not possible to predict the ultimate resolution of any such matter. It is possible that an unfavorable resolution of any of the ongoing matters
could have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares
and/or stock price.
Some of these governmental inquiries, investigations, proceedings and litigation matters with which the Company is involved are described below,
and unless otherwise disclosed, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the matter or to provide an estimate of the range of reasonably possible
material losses. The Company records accruals for loss contingencies to the extent we conclude it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the
amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company is also involved in other pending proceedings for which, in the opinion of the Company
based upon facts and circumstances known at the time, either the likelihood of loss is remote or any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution
of such proceedings is not expected to be material to the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends
or repurchase shares and/or stock price. If and when any reasonably possible losses associated with the resolution of such other pending proceedings, in the
opinion of the Company, become material, the Company will disclose such matters.
Legal costs are recorded as incurred and are classified in SG&A in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
EpiPen® Auto-Injector Litigation
On February 14, 2020, the Company, together with other non-Viatris affiliated companies, were named as defendants in a putative direct purchaser
class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas relating to the pricing and/or marketing of the EpiPen® Auto-Injector. On September
21, 2021, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting federal antitrust claims which were based on allegations concerning a patent settlement between
Pfizer and Teva and other alleged actions regarding the launch of Teva’s generic epinephrine auto-injector. Plaintiffs sought monetary damages, declaratory
relief, attorneys’ fees and costs. In December 2024, the Company reached an agreement and paid $73.5 million to fully resolve this matter. The settlement
was approved by the court and contains an express provision disclaiming and denying any wrongdoing by the Company. This matter is now closed.
Beginning in March 2020, the Company, together with other non-Viatris affiliated companies, were named as defendants in putative direct
purchaser class actions filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota relating to contracts with certain pharmacy benefit managers concerning
EpiPen® Auto-Injector. The plaintiffs claim that the alleged conduct resulted in the exclusion or restriction of competing products and the elimination of
pricing constraints in violation of RICO and federal antitrust law. Class certification was denied. The case proceeded with Rochester Drug Company,
Dakota Drug, and Morris & Dickson Company as plaintiffs and they sought monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company has resolved this
matter and the case has been dismissed. This matter is now closed.
In January 2025, the State of Indiana filed a complaint in Superior Court in Marion County, Indiana against the Company and other non-Viatris
affiliated companies alleging harm under Indiana state laws, including antitrust and consumer protection laws, and unjust enrichment claims. Indiana
generally sought monetary damages, restitution, disgorgement, civil penalties, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company has resolved
this matter and the case has been dismissed. This matter is now closed.

Table of Contents
In June 2024, the Company received a civil subpoena from the Attorney General of the State of Mississippi seeking information relating to the
sales and/or marketing of EpiPen® Auto-Injector. The Company is fully cooperating with this request and has reached settlements and settlements-in-
principle with certain State Attorneys General regarding related issues.
The issues covered in the Indiana complaint, Mississippi subpoena, and the settlements and settlements-in-principle with certain States, generally
relate to issues from litigations and/or investigations that have been previously disclosed, including the indirect purchaser class action that was resolved in
2022 and the direct purchaser litigation matters described above, which are now also resolved.
The Company has a total accrual of approximately $48.8 million related to these matters at December 31, 2025, which is included in other current
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Although it is reasonably possible that the Company may incur additional losses from these matters, any
amount cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In addition, the Company expects to incur additional legal and other professional service expenses
associated with such matters in future periods and will recognize these expenses as services are received. The Company believes that the ultimate amount
paid for these services and claims could have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to
pay dividends or repurchase shares and/or stock price in future periods.
Drug Pricing Matters
Civil Litigation
Beginning in 2016, the Company, along with other manufacturers, has been named as a defendant in lawsuits filed in the United States and Canada
generally alleging anticompetitive conduct with respect to generic drugs. The lawsuits have been filed by plaintiffs, including putative classes of direct
purchasers, indirect purchasers, and indirect resellers, as well as individual direct and indirect purchasers and certain cities and counties. The lawsuits
allege harm under federal laws and the United States lawsuits also allege harm under state laws, including antitrust laws, state consumer protection laws
and unjust enrichment claims. Some of the United States lawsuits also name as defendants the Company’s former President, including allegations against
him with respect to a single drug product, and one of the Company’s former sales employees, including allegations against him with respect to certain
generic drugs. The vast majority of the lawsuits have been consolidated in an MDL proceeding in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (“EDPA”). Plaintiffs
generally seek monetary damages, restitution, declaratory and injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and costs.
The EDPA Court ordered the Clomipramine and Clobetasol direct and indirect purchaser cases to proceed as bellwethers. The Company is named
only in the Clomipramine bellwether cases, wherein the EDPA Court certified both direct and indirect purchaser classes. Defendants filed petitions for
permission to appeal those class certification decisions, which were granted by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. These cases have been
stayed pending a decision on the Defendants’ class certification appeals. The Defendants’ summary judgment motions in the direct purchaser case was
denied and was largely denied with some narrowing of claims, and potentially reducing claimed damages, in the indirect purchaser case. Plaintiffs are
asserting damages of approximately $350 million in each of the Clomipramine bellwether cases, which are subject to trebling under federal law in the
direct purchaser case or multipliers under certain state laws in the indirect purchaser case.
The EDPA Court has selected additional cases to proceed as bellwethers. The Company is named in three of the cases scheduled for trial, which
consist of non-class cases filed by direct and indirect purchasers against the Company and other manufacturers and the first trial is scheduled to begin in
September 2026, with subsequent trials scheduled to begin in August 2027 and January 2028. In February 2026, the Federal Court in Canada denied
Plaintiff’s motion for class certification.
The Company believes that it acted lawfully, is continuing to defend itself vigorously, and intends to vigorously contest all aspects of the cases,
including the asserted damages.
Attorneys General Litigation
On December 21, 2015, the Company received a subpoena and interrogatories from the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General seeking
information relating to the marketing, pricing and sale of certain of the Company’s generic products and communications with competitors about such
products. On December 14, 2016, attorneys general of certain states filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut
against several generic pharmaceutical drug manufacturers, including the Company, alleging anticompetitive conduct with respect to, among other things, a
single drug
146

product. The complaint has subsequently been amended, including on June 18, 2018, to add attorneys general alleging violations of federal and state
antitrust laws, as well as violations of various states’ consumer protection laws. This lawsuit was transferred to the aforementioned MDL proceeding in the
EDPA. The operative complaint includes attorneys general of forty-two states, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The
Company is alleged to have engaged in anticompetitive conduct with respect to four generic drug products. The amended complaint also includes claims
asserted by attorneys general of thirty-two states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico against certain individuals, including the Company’s former
President, with respect to a single drug product. The operative complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, disgorgement, attorneys’ fees and costs,
and certain states seek monetary damages, civil penalties, restitution, and other equitable monetary relief. The states’ claim for disgorgement and restitution
under federal law, and certain state law claims brought by certain states, have been dismissed.
On May 10, 2019, certain attorneys general filed a new complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut against various
drug manufacturers and individuals, including the Company and one of its former sales employees, alleging anticompetitive conduct with respect to
additional generic drugs. The complaint was subsequently amended, including on November 22, 2024, to add states as plaintiffs. The operative complaint is
brought by attorneys general of forty-four states, certain territories and the District of Columbia. The amended complaint also includes claims asserted by
attorneys general of forty states and certain territories against several individuals, including a former Company sales employee. The operative complaint
seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, disgorgement, attorneys’ fees and costs, and certain states seek monetary damages, civil penalties, restitution, and
other equitable monetary relief. This lawsuit was transferred to the aforementioned MDL proceeding in the EDPA.
On June 10, 2020, certain attorneys general filed a new complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut against drug
manufacturers, including the Company, and individual defendants (none from the Company), alleging anticompetitive conduct with respect to additional
generic drugs. On September 9, 2021, the complaint was amended, adding an additional state as a plaintiff. The operative complaint is brought by attorneys
general of forty-two states, certain territories and the District of Columbia. The operative complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, disgorgement,
attorneys’ fees and costs, and certain states seek monetary damages, civil penalties, restitution, and other equitable monetary relief. The states’ claim for
disgorgement and restitution under federal law, and certain state law claims brought by certain states, have been dismissed. This lawsuit was transferred to
the aforementioned MDL proceeding in the EDPA and was ordered to proceed as a bellwether. The Company’s motions for summary judgment were
largely denied with some of the States’ claims for monetary relief being reduced.
The aforementioned complaints have been transferred back to the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.
Securities Related Litigation
On February 14, 2020, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (“ADIA”) filed a complaint against Mylan N.V. and Mylan Inc. (collectively for
purposes of this paragraph, “Mylan”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) alleging that Mylan made false
or misleading statements and omissions of purportedly material fact, in violation of federal securities laws, in connection with disclosures relating to the
classification of their EpiPen® Auto-Injector as a non-innovator drug for purposes of the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and allegedly anticompetitive
conduct with respect to EpiPen® Auto-Injector and certain generic drugs (“ADIA Litigation”). ADIA seeks monetary damages as well as fees and costs.
Mylan has filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss ADIA’s case in its entirety, which is pending. The Company has reached an agreement-in-
principle to resolve this matter.
On June 26, 2020, a putative class action complaint was filed by the Public Employees Retirement System of Mississippi, which was subsequently
amended on November 13, 2020, against Mylan N.V., certain of Mylan N.V.’s former directors and officers, and a former officer/director of the Company
(collectively for the purposes of this paragraph, the “defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (“WDPA”) on behalf
of certain purchasers of securities of Mylan N.V. (“WDPA Mylan N.V. Class Action Litigation”). The amended complaint includes allegations that
defendants engaged in a scheme and made false or misleading statements and omissions of purportedly material fact, in violation of federal securities laws,
in connection with disclosures relating to the Nashik and Morgantown manufacturing plants and inspections at the plants by the FDA. Plaintiff seeks
certification of a class of purchasers of Mylan N.V. securities between February 16, 2016 and May 7, 2019. In July 2025, the Court held that Plaintiffs’
misstatements claim as to 1 of the 46 challenged statements, and their scheme claim, may proceed to discovery. The complaint seeks monetary damages, as
well as the plaintiff’s fees and costs. In February 2026, the Company reached an agreement to pay $60 million to fully resolve this matter, which is subject
to court approval.

On February 15, 2021, a complaint was filed in the SDNY by Skandia Mutual Life Ins. Co., Lansforsakringar AB, KBC Asset Management N.V.,
and GIC Private Limited, against the Company, certain of Mylan N.V.’s former directors and officers, a former officer/director of the Company, and certain
former employees of the Company (“Skandia Litigation”). The Complaint filed in the Skandia Litigation asserted claims which were based on allegations
that were similar to those in the ADIA Litigation and WDPA Mylan N.V. Class Action Litigation. Plaintiffs sought compensatory damages, costs and
expenses and attorneys’ fees. The Company has resolved this matter and it is now closed.
Beginning in May 2023, putative class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s former officers, directors,
and employees in the WDPA on behalf of certain purchasers of securities of the Company. These actions have been consolidated and, on October 23, 2023,
a consolidated amended putative class action complaint was filed in the WDPA against the Company, and former officers and directors (“WDPA Viatris
Class Action Litigation”). The operative complaint alleges that defendants made false or misleading statements and omissions of material fact, in violation
of federal securities laws, in connection with disclosures relating to the Company’s projected financial performance and biosimilars business. Plaintiffs
seek certification of a class of purchasers of Company securities between March 1, 2021 and February 25, 2022. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages,
reasonable costs and expenses, and certain other relief. On September 20, 2024, the Court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss all of Plaintiffs’ claims.
Plaintiffs’ appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit was rejected in November 2025.
Beginning in August 2023, stockholder derivative actions purportedly on behalf of Viatris were filed in the WDPA against certain of the
Company’s current and former officers, directors, and employees alleging that defendants failed to ensure that the Company was making truthful and
accurate statements in connection with the disclosures alleged in the WDPA Viatris Class Action Litigation. Viatris is named as a nominal defendant in
these derivative actions. Certain of the complaints also assert claims for corporate waste and unjust enrichment. Plaintiffs seek various forms of relief,
including damages, disgorgement, restitution, costs and fees.
In April 2025, a putative class action complaint, which was subsequently amended in September 2025, was filed against the Company and certain
of the Company’s officers, in the WDPA on behalf of certain purchasers of the Company’s securities (“WDPA Indore Class Action Litigation”). The
amended complaint alleges that defendants made false or misleading statements or omissions of material fact, in violation of federal securities laws, in
connection with disclosures relating to regulatory issues and actions concerning the Company’s Indore manufacturing facility. Plaintiffs seek certification
of a class of purchasers of Company securities between February 28, 2024 and February 26, 2025. Plaintiffs seek various forms of relief, including
damages, costs and fees.
In November 2025, a stockholder derivative action purportedly on behalf of Viatris was filed in the WDPA against certain of the Company’s
current and former officers and directors alleging that the defendants failed to ensure that the Company was making truthful and accurate statements in
connection with the disclosures alleged in the WDPA Indore Class Action Litigation. Viatris is also named as a nominal defendant in this derivative action.
The Complaint asserts violations of federal securities laws, as well as claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment.
Plaintiff seeks various forms of relief, including damages, disgorgement, restitution, equitable relief, and costs and fees.
The Company has a total accrual of approximately $60.8 million related to these matters at December 31, 2025, which is included in Other
Current Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Although it is reasonably possible that the Company may incur additional losses from these matters,
any amount cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In addition, the Company expects to incur additional legal and other professional service expenses
associated with such matters in future periods and will recognize these expenses as services are received. The Company believes that the ultimate amount
paid for these services and claims could have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to
pay dividends or repurchase shares and/or stock price in future periods.
The Company maintains insurance coverage with respect to these matters. Management has determined that the majority of the losses associated
with the WDPA Mylan N.V. Class Action Litigation are covered under existing insurance policies. Accordingly, the Company has recognized an insurance
receivable of $58.5 million within Accounts Receivable, Net in the consolidated balance sheets. The recognition of this receivable is based on
management’s assessment that recovery of these costs is probable.

Opioids
The Company, along with other manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, and individual healthcare providers, is a
defendant in cases in the United States and Canada filed by various plaintiffs, including counties, cities and other local governmental entities, asserting civil
claims related to sales, marketing and/or distribution practices with respect to prescription opioid products.
The lawsuits generally seek equitable relief and monetary damages (including punitive and/or exemplary damages) based on a variety of legal
theories, including various statutory and/or common law claims, such as negligence, public nuisance and unjust enrichment. The vast majority of these
lawsuits were consolidated in an MDL in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District Court of Ohio.
In April 2025, the Company reached a nationwide settlement framework to resolve opioid-related claims by States, local governments, and Native
American tribes against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Under the agreed upon framework, the Company would pay up to a maximum of
$335 million, consisting of annual payments over a nine-year period of between approximately $27.5 million and $40 million each, to help support state
and local efforts to address opioid-related issues. Following a sign-on period, the settlement framework has achieved high levels of participation, including
all States and Territories, all litigating Native American Tribes, and the vast majority of litigating local governments. The levels of participation include the
Attorneys Generals of the States of New York, Alaska, Oregon, Utah, Maryland, and Louisiana which, beginning in January 2023, issued civil subpoenas to
the Company seeking information relating to opioids manufactured, marketed, or sold by the Company and related subject matter. Accordingly, the relevant
parties have determined to proceed, the settlement has been finalized, and the cases covered by the settlement have either been dismissed, including the vast
majority of cases in the MDL, or are in the process of being dismissed. The settlement contains no admission of wrongdoing or liability.
Certain cases not covered by the settlement remain pending, including a small number of actions brought by local governments, actions brought
by private hospitals, third party payors, personal injury plaintiffs, and actions brought on behalf of children with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome due to
alleged exposure to opioids. Some of the pending actions are putative class action lawsuits.
The Company has accrued approximately $335 million in connection with the possible resolution of certain of these matters at December 31,
2025, which is included in Other Current Liabilities and Other Long-term Obligations in the consolidated balance sheets. Although it is reasonably
possible that the Company may incur additional losses from these matters, any amount cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In addition, the
Company expects to incur additional legal and other professional service expenses associated with such matters in future periods and will recognize these
expenses as services are received. The Company believes that the ultimate amount paid for these services and claims could have a material effect on the
Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares and/or stock price in future periods.
Citalopram
In 2013, the European Commission issued a decision finding that Lundbeck and several generic companies, including Generics [U.K.] Limited
(“GUK”), had violated EU competition rules relating to various settlement agreements entered into in 2002 for citalopram. After various appeals, the
European Commission’s decision was upheld in March 2021. On March 28, 2023, bodies of the national health authorities in England & Wales filed a case
in the U.K. Competition Appeals Tribunal against parties to the citalopram investigation, including GUK, seeking monetary damages, plus interest,
purportedly arising from the settlement agreements. GUK, beginning in approximately 2018, has received notices from other health service authorities and
insurers asserting an intention to file similar claims. Pursuant to an indemnification agreement, Merck KGaA and GUK have agreed to equally share any
damages claimed against Merck KGaA and/or GUK alleged to have been caused by the conduct which is the subject of the European Commission
decision.
The Company has accrued approximately €12.0 million as of December 31, 2025 related to this matter. It is reasonably possible that we will incur
additional losses above the amount accrued but we cannot estimate a range of such reasonably possible losses at this time. There are no assurances,
however, that settlements reached and/or adverse judgments received, if any, will not exceed amounts accrued.

Perindopril
In 2014, the European Commission issued a decision finding that Servier SAS, and certain of its subsidiaries (“Servier”), along with several
generic companies, including the Company, had violated EU competition rules relating to various settlement agreements for perindopril. The settlement
agreement involving the Company is a 2005 agreement entered into between Servier and Matrix Laboratories Ltd., which the Company acquired in 2007.
After various appeals, the European Commission’s decision was upheld in June 2024. The Company satisfied its monetary obligation in 2014.
Bodies of national health authorities in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland filed a case in the English High Court against Servier,
seeking monetary damages, plus interest, purportedly arising from the settlement agreements. Servier has joined the generic companies, including the
Company, as defendants in this litigation. The case has been transferred to the U.K. Competition Appeals Tribunal.
In December 2024, health insurance funds located in the EU filed a case in the Amsterdam District Court against Servier and the generic
companies, including the Company, seeking monetary damages, plus interest, purportedly arising from the settlement agreements.
Product Liability
Like other pharmaceutical companies, the Company is involved in a number of product liability lawsuits related to alleged personal injuries
arising out of certain products manufactured/or distributed by the Company, including but not limited to those discussed below. Plaintiffs in these cases
generally seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss.
The Company has accrued approximately $67.1 million as of December 31, 2025 for its product liability matters. It is reasonably possible that we
will incur additional losses and fees above the amount accrued but we cannot estimate a range of such reasonably possible losses or legal fees related to
these claims at this time. There are no assurances, however, that settlements reached and/or adverse judgments received, if any, will not exceed amounts
accrued.
Nitrosamines
The Company, along with numerous other manufacturers, retailers, and others, are parties to litigation relating to alleged trace amounts of
nitrosamine impurities in certain products, including valsartan and ranitidine. The vast majority of these lawsuits naming the Company in the United States
are pending in two MDLs, namely an MDL pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey concerning valsartan and an MDL
pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida concerning ranitidine. The lawsuits against the Company in the MDLs
include putative and certified classes seeking the refund of the purchase price and other economic and punitive damages allegedly sustained by consumers
and end payors as well as individuals seeking compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries allegedly caused by ingestion of the medications. A
similar lawsuit pertaining to valsartan is pending in Israel. Third party payor, consumer and medical monitoring classes were certified in the valsartan
MDL. The Company has also received requests to indemnify purchasers of the Company’s API and/or finished dose forms of these products. The Company
has reached an agreement in principle to resolve the valsartan personal injury lawsuits in the U.S.
The original master complaints concerning ranitidine were dismissed on December 31, 2020. The end-payor plaintiff immediately appealed to the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which affirmed the dismissal. The personal injury and consumer putative class plaintiffs filed amended
master complaints. The Company was not named as a defendant in the amended master complaints, though it was still named in certain short form
complaints filed by personal injury plaintiffs. The trial court has dismissed all remaining claims against the generic defendants. Certain of the personal
injury plaintiffs appealed this dismissal, which remains pending.
Lipitor
A number of individual and multi-plaintiff lawsuits have been filed against Pfizer in various federal and state courts alleging that the plaintiffs
developed type 2 diabetes purportedly as a result of the ingestion of Lipitor. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages. In February 2014, the
federal actions were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to an MDL in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. The District
Court granted Pfizer’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed all of the federal cases in 2017, which was subsequently affirmed on appeal. Since
2016, certain cases in the MDL were remanded to certain state courts. State court proceedings remain pending in Missouri and New York.

Depo-Provera
Beginning in October 2024, the Company (including Greenstone LLC), Pfizer and certain entities related to Pfizer, and Prasco Labs were named
in a number of lawsuits filed in federal and state courts related to claims pertaining to Depo-Provera. Certain of these lawsuits include allegations that
individual plaintiffs developed meningiomas purportedly as a result of the ingestion of Depo-Provera or its authorized generic equivalent and seek
compensatory and punitive damages. Putative class complaints seeking relief in the form of medical monitoring for individuals from certain states who
have taken Depo-Provera or its authorized generic equivalent, but have not developed meningiomas, were also filed. In February 2025, the federal lawsuits
were transferred for consolidated pre-trial proceedings to an MDL in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. Pfizer is the new drug
application holder of Depo-Provera and markets and sells the branded version of the product. Greenstone LLC was a subsidiary of Pfizer until the closing
of the Combination and sold the authorized generic of Depo-Provera until the closing of the Combination. Concurrently with the closing of the
Combination, Pfizer divested the authorized generic of Depo-Provera to Prasco Labs. In June 2025, the MDL court implemented a process whereby, with
respect to current and future cases filed against the Company in this MDL, Plaintiffs must show why claims against the Company are appropriate. As a
result of this process, the Company has been dismissed without prejudice from all cases originally pending in this MDL. The Company has also been
dismissed without prejudice in certain state court cases. The Company has sought to tender its defense and is seeking indemnification for these claims from
Pfizer pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and Pfizer is seeking cross-indemnification from the Company pursuant to the Separation and
Distribution Agreement with respect to the authorized generic product previously sold by Greenstone LLC.
Intellectual Property
The Company is involved in a number of patent litigation lawsuits involving the validity and/or infringement of patents held by branded
pharmaceutical manufacturers. The Company uses its business judgment to decide to market and sell certain products, in each case based on its belief that
the applicable patents are invalid and/or that its products do not infringe, notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) or other
potential third party rights have not been finally resolved by the courts. The risk involved in doing so can be substantial because the remedies available to
the owner of a patent for infringement may include a reasonable royalty on sales or damages measured by the profits lost by the patent owner. If there is a
finding of willful infringement, damages may be increased up to three times. Moreover, because of the discount pricing typically involved with
bioequivalent products, patented branded products generally realize a substantially higher profit margin than generic and biosimilar products. The
Company also faces challenges to its patents, including suits in various jurisdictions pursuant to which generic drug manufacturers, payers, governments, or
other parties are seeking damages for allegedly causing delay of generic entry. An adverse decision in any of these matters could have an adverse effect that
is material to our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares and/or stock price.
Dimethyl Fumarate
The Company launched its generic dimethyl fumarate (“DMF”) product in Europe starting in July 2022 after the European Commission concluded
that Biogen was not entitled to regulatory data exclusivity for Tecfidera®. In December 2023, based on its interpretation of an intervening ruling from the
Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”), the European Commission revoked certain generic marketing authorizations for DMF, including the
Company’s. The Company challenged the European Commission’s revocation decision before the General Court of the European Union (“GCEU”) and, in
February 2026, the GCEU denied the Company’s challenge. The Company intends to appeal to the CJEU.
Beginning in October 2023, Biogen filed damages actions in commercial courts of Spain, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Italy,
Estonia, Finland and Croatia claiming that the Company’s sales of generic DMF violated Tecfidera’s purportedly restored regulatory exclusivity and these
actions are in various stages. Biogen’s purported regulatory exclusivity for Tecfidera expired in February 2024, its patent covering DMF has been revoked,
and the Company has secured a new marketing authorization for DMF. Thus, the Company has resumed commercializing DMF in Europe.
Yupelri
Beginning in January 2023, certain generic companies notified us that they had filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking approval to market generic
versions of Yupelri® with associated Paragraph IV certifications. Beginning in February 2023, we brought patent infringement actions against the generic
filers. The Company has entered into settlement agreements with all but one of the generic filers, granting them licenses to commercialize their generic
versions of Yupelri® in April 2039 or earlier depending on certain circumstances. One ANDA filer remains in the litigation in the U.S. District Court for
the District of New
151

Table of Contents
Jersey. The remaining ANDA filer has submitted a Paragraph III certification to Orange Book-listed patents that expire on October 31, 2028, and on
August 25, 2031, which confirms that it will not seek to market its ANDA product until after those patents expire. The Company is currently asserting three
Orange Book-listed method of use patents against the remaining ANDA filer, the latest of which expires on October 23, 2039.
Tyrvaya
In June 2023, a generic company notified Oyster Point that it had filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of
Tyrvaya® with associated Paragraph IV certifications. In July 2023, Oyster Point brought a patent infringement action against the generic filer in the U.S.
District Court for the District of New Jersey. The Company has entered into a settlement agreement with the generic company resolving the litigation and
granting licenses to commercialize its generic version of Tyrvaya® in October 2034, or earlier depending on certain circumstances.
In January 2026, Oyster Point brought a patent infringement action against a second generic filer in the U.S. District Court for the District of New
Jersey. The Company is asserting infringement of patents that expire on October 19, 2035. This lawsuit automatically stays FDA approval of the generic
company’s ANDA until June 2028, or until an adverse court decision, if any, whichever may occur earlier.
Amitiza
Beginning in September 2023, Sawai Pharmaceutical Co. (“Sawai”) and Towa Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (“Towa”) filed challenges with the
Japanese Patent Office (“JPO”) asserting invalidity of JP ’4332353 (“the ’353 patent”) and its patent term extensions (“PTE”) relevant to Amitiza®, which
the Company commercializes in Japan in 24µg and 12µg dosages as a licensee of the relevant patents. The remaining PTE for the ‘353 patent, which was
granted based on the approval of the 12µg product, expires in April 2027. In April 2025 and June 2025, the JPO upheld the validity of the ‘353 patent and
its PTE. Sawai has filed appeals against these JPO decisions with the Intellectual Property High Court.
In October 2025, the Company filed an action before the Osaka District Court asserting that Sawai’s proposed 24µg generic product would
infringe the remaining PTE for the ’353 patent, as well as the remaining PTE for JP ‘4889219, which was also granted based on the approval of the 12µg
product and expires in December 2028. The Company is seeking a finding of infringement and an order prohibiting Sawai from commercializing its
proposed 24µg product until PTE expiration. In February 2026, the Osaka District Court denied the Company’s request for a preliminary injunction, which
the Company has appealed to the Intellectual Property High Court. In February 2026, generic 24µg products for Sawai and Towa received regulatory
approval.
Beginning in April 2024, Sawai filed challenges with the JPO with respect to the 12µg strength, asserting invalidity of PTE of five patents
expiring in October 2025, September 2026, August 2027, November 2027, and December 2028, and challenged the validity of the August 2027 patent
itself. In January 2026, the JPO upheld the validity of the August 2027 patent.
In April 2025, Sawai filed an action before the Tokyo District Court alleging unfair competition and seeking to restrain the Company from
communicating with the public and the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare about the patent coverage for Amitiza. In December 2025, the Tokyo
District Court dismissed Sawai’s unfair competition action. This matter is now closed.
Ryzumvi
In February 2025, a generic company notified the Company that it had filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version
of Ryzumvi® with associated Paragraph IV certifications. The generic company asserts the invalidity and/or non-infringement of Orange Book listed
patents that have an expiration date of January 31, 2034, and October 25, 2039. In March 2025, the Company brought a patent infringement action against
the generic filer in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. This lawsuit automatically stays FDA approval of the generic company’s ANDA
until August 3, 2027, or until an adverse court decision, if any, whichever may occur earlier.
The Company has approximately $0.7 million accrued related to its intellectual property matters at December 31, 2025. It is reasonably possible
that we may incur additional losses and fees but we cannot estimate a range of such reasonably possible losses or legal fees related to these claims at this
time.
