The interim financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the interim results of operations, comprehensive loss, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Viatris’ 2023 Form 10-K. The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements.
The interim results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period.
Beginning in 2024, upfront and milestone payments related to externally developed IPR&D projects acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, which were previously included in cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, are now classified as cash flows from investing activities. Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to the current period presentation. The adjustments resulted in an increase to net cash provided by operating activities and an increase to net cash used in investing activities of $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
2.Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
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 condensed 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).
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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table presents the Company’s net sales by product category for each of our reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

3.Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards and Disclosure Rules Issued Not Yet Adopted
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 34-99678 and No. 33-11275, “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors” (the “Final Rules”), which will require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The Final Rules require, among other things, disclosure in the notes to the audited financial statements of the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain thresholds, as well as amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates in certain circumstances. The Final Rules will also require disclosure outside of the financial statements of material scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, among other climate-related disclosures. The disclosure requirements of the Final Rules will begin phasing in for the Company for fiscal year 2025. In April 2024, the SEC stayed the effectiveness of the Final Rules. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new rules on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
There were no other significant changes in new accounting standards from those disclosed in Viatris’ 2023 Form 10-K. Refer to Viatris’ 2023 Form 10-K for additional information.
4.Acquisitions and Other Transactions
Idorsia
On March 15, 2024, the Company acquired the development programs and certain personnel related to selatogrel and cenerimod from Idorsia in exchange for an upfront payment to Idorsia of $350 million, potential 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 contributing to the development costs for both programs. Viatris has worldwide commercialization rights for both selatogrel and cenerimod (excluding, for cenerimod only, Japan, South Korea and certain countries in the Asia-Pacific region). A joint development committee is overseeing the development of the ongoing Phase 3 programs through regulatory approval. The agreements also provide Viatris a right of first refusal and a right of first negotiation for certain other assets in Idorsia’s pipeline. The transaction expands 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $3.9 million, which were recorded primarily in SG&A in the condensed 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 11, Financial Instruments and Risk Management, for additional information. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
| (In millions) | |||||||||||||||||
Current assets | $ | ||||||||||||||||
| IPR&D | |||||||||||||||||
| Goodwill | |||||||||||||||||
| Total assets acquired | $ | ||||||||||||||||
| Current liabilities | |||||||||||||||||
Net assets acquired | $ | ||||||||||||||||
16
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
The preliminary fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon preliminary calculations, valuations and assumptions that are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas subject to change relate to the finalization of the valuation of IPR&D, contingent consideration, and income taxes.
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 will both contribute to the development costs for both programs, which are expected to be incurred through 2026. There are risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of the projects included in IPR&D, 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 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 currently 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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
5.Divestitures
On October 1, 2023, the Company announced it received an offer for the divestiture of its OTC Business, and entered into definitive agreements to divest its women’s healthcare business and, separately, in another transaction, its rights to two women’s healthcare products in certain countries, its API business in India and commercialization rights in the Upjohn Distributor Markets. The OTC, API and women’s healthcare businesses are deemed businesses for U.S. GAAP accounting purposes. As such, the assets and liabilities include 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 have 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, as necessary.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized TSA income related to the divestitures of approximately $6.0 million and $46.9 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized TSA income related to the divestitures of approximately $19.5 million and $92.6 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 is primarily related to our oral and injectable contraceptives and does not include all of our women’s healthcare related products; as an example, our Xulane® product in the U.S. is excluded. The transaction includes two manufacturing facilities in India. Assets and liabilities associated with the women’s healthcare business divested were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. The transaction closed in March 2024 and upon closing, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $80.8 million in that quarter for the difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the assets transferred (including an allocation of goodwill). The gain was recorded as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
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., which remains subject to regulatory approval) 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. The gain was recorded as a component of SG&A expense in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2023.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and 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 (recorded as a component of SG&A expense), 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 Income, Net) in the consolidated statement of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an additional pre-tax charge of approximately $247.6 million to further write down the disposal group to fair value, less cost to sell. The additional charge was recorded as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, and was 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 on the estimated proceeds.
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 includes three manufacturing sites and a R&D lab in Hyderabad, three manufacturing sites in Vizag and third-party API sales. Viatris will retain some selective R&D capabilities in API. The transaction closed in June 2024. The API business in India met the criteria to be classified as held for sale on October 1, 2023 and the related assets and liabilities were reclassified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a pre-tax charge of approximately $7.0 million and $17.4 million, respectively, to write down the disposal group to fair value, less cost to sell (recorded as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Upjohn Distributor Markets
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the commercialization rights in the Upjohn Distributor Markets met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Upon classification as held for sale, the Company recognized a total charge of $374.2 million in 2022, which was comprised of a goodwill impairment charge of $117.0 million, other charges, principally inventory write-offs, of $84.3 million and a charge of approximately $172.9 million to write down the disposal group to fair value, less cost to sell. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded additional charges of $10.0 million and $19.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company additionally recorded an intangible asset charge of $32.0 million to write down the disposal group to fair value, less cost to sell. Total charges during the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $136.4 million, primarily consisting of losses on the disposals of $85.2 million, which were recorded as a component of Other Income, Net. The divestitures of the commercialization rights in certain of the Upjohn Distributor Markets closed during 2023 and 2024, and the remaining transactions are expected to be completed during 2024. If the remaining transactions are not completed, the distribution arrangements will expire in accordance with our agreement with Pfizer and the Company will wind down operations in these markets, which may result in additional asset write-offs and other costs being incurred.

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 $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. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $282.4 million and $28.9 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a gain of $329.3 million and $31.5 million, respectively, as a result of remeasuring the CCPS in Biocon Biologics to fair value. The increase is primarily related to changes in certain market factors, including Biocon’s share price. The Company’s CCPS in Biocon Biologics are classified as equity securities and are included in Other Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and gains and losses recorded as a result of remeasuring the CCPS in Biocon Biologics to fair value are recorded as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net. The fair value is reassessed quarterly. Refer to Note 11 Financial Instruments and Risk Management for further discussion. Viatris received $145 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. In addition, Viatris and Biocon Biologics have agreed to a closing working capital target of $250 million, of which $220 million was paid during 2023. Viatris and Biocon Biologics have tentatively agreed to offset certain amounts due between the parties, including the remaining working capital target amount. The Company is entitled to an additional $160 million in cash payments in the fourth quarter of 2024 as deferred consideration pursuant to the terms of the Biocon Agreement. Refer to Note 8 Balance Sheet Components for additional information on assets and liabilities related to Biocon Biologics.
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.

6.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.
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 to four years , and generally expire in ten years .
The following table summarizes stock awards (stock options and SARs) activity:

As of June 30, 2024, stock awards outstanding, stock awards vested and expected to vest, and stock awards exercisable had average remaining contractual terms of 3.6 years, 3.5 years and 3.4 years, respectively. Also, at June 30, 2024, stock awards outstanding, stock awards vested and expected to vest, and stock awards exercisable had aggregate intrinsic values of $0.4 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively.
A rollforward of the changes in the Company’s nonvested Restricted Stock Awards (restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, including PSUs) from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024 is presented below:

____________
(1)Balances as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include an accumulated impairment loss of $929.0
(2)Balances as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include an accumulated impairment loss of $351.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively.
(3)Balances as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include an accumulated impairment loss of $124.0
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. The Company performed the annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2024.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test 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.
When compared to the prior year’s annual goodwill impairment test completed on April 1, 2023, due to certain macroeconomic conditions, the Company has experienced fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in certain international markets, combined with an increase in market interest rates. These conditions impacted all reporting units, with the most significant impact in JANZ and Emerging Markets. The impact in the other reporting units was offset by changes in other discount rate assumptions.
As of April 1, 2024, the allocation of the Company’s total goodwill was as follows: North America $3.12 billion, Europe $3.86 billion, Emerging Markets $1.17 billion, JANZ $0.62 billion and Greater China $0.93 billion.
In conjunction with its 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, which was recorded within SG&A in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. 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.
For the JANZ reporting unit at April 1, 2024, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately negative 0.3 %. A terminal year value was calculated with a 1.0 % revenue growth rate applied. The discount rate utilized was 8.0 % and the estimated tax rate was 30.3 %.
Following the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the JANZ reporting unit, the carrying value of the reporting unit was equal to its estimated fair value as of April 1, 2024. If market conditions or the projected results were to change materially, it may be necessary to record further impairment charges to the JANZ reporting unit in future periods.
As of April 1, 2024, the Company determined that the fair values of the North America, Greater China, and Emerging Markets reporting units were substantially in excess of the respective unit’s carrying value.
25
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
For the Europe reporting unit, the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately $882 million or 7.9 % for the annual goodwill impairment test. As it relates to the discounted cash flow approach for the Europe reporting unit at April 1, 2024, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately 2.5 %. A terminal year value was calculated with a 2.0 % revenue growth rate applied. The discount rate utilized was 10.0 % and the estimated tax rate was 15.7 %. If all other assumptions are held constant, a reduction in the terminal value growth rate by 1.5 % or an increase in discount rate by 1.0 % would result in an impairment charge for the Europe 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.

11.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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any gains or losses on the foreign exchange forward contracts are recognized in earnings in the period incurred in the condensed 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, Chinese Renminbi and Indian Rupee for up to twenty-four 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 condensed 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.

____________
(1)The Euro Senior Notes were repaid at maturity during the second quarter of 2024.
At June 30, 2024, the principal amount of the Company’s outstanding Yen borrowings and the notional amount of the Yen borrowings designated as net investment hedges was $248.6 million.
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 Euro 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 fourth quarter of 2023, the Company executed foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts totaling Euro 500 million. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company executed additional foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts totaling Euro 600 million. The transactions hedge a portion of the Company’s net investment in certain Euro functional currency subsidiaries. The contracts have been designated as a net investment hedge. The contracts matured in July 2024.
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 condensed 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.
28
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, there are no offsetting amounts that net assets against liabilities.
The following table summarizes the classification and fair values of derivative instruments in our condensed consolidated balance sheets:

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. 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.
•CCPS in Biocon Biologics — valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the CCPS is sensitive to changes in the forecasts of operating metrics, changes in volatility and discount rates, and share dilution. 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations for that period.
•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.
•Foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities — valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices and spot rates at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions.
Contingent Consideration
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a contingent consideration liability of $353.0 million related to the Idorsia Transaction. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a contingent consideration liability of $159.7 million and $177.6 million, respectively, related to the Respiratory Delivery Platform, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company had a contingent consideration liability of $15.8 million related to the Biocon Biologics Transaction. Refer to Note 5 Divestitures 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 and payments which are discounted using a market rate of return. At June 30, 2024, discount rates ranging from 9.0 % to 19.0 %, and at December 31, 2023, discount rates ranging from 6.4 % and 8.0 % were utilized in the valuations. Significant changes in unobservable inputs could result in material changes to the contingent consideration liabilities.

Receivables Facility and Note Securitization Facility
The Company has a $400 million Receivables Facility which expires in April 2025 and a $200 million Note Securitization Facility which expires in August 2024. Under the terms of each of the Receivables Facility and Note Securitization 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. Amounts outstanding under either facility 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

14.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 broad 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 China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Our JANZ segment reflects 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 is the Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates the performance of its segments based on total revenues and segment profitability.
Certain costs are not included in the measurement of segment profitability, such as costs, if any, associated with the following:
◦Intangible asset amortization expense and impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets;
◦R&D and Acquired IPR&D expense;
◦Net charges or net gains for litigation settlements and other contingencies;
39
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
◦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) acquisition-related costs, where we incur costs for executing the transaction, integrating the acquired operations and restructuring the combined company; and (iii) other significant items, which are substantive and/or unusual, and in some cases recurring, items (such as restructuring) 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 disposals of assets or businesses, including costs related to divestitures, and, as applicable, any associated transition activities.
◦Corporate and other unallocated costs associated with platform functions (such as digital, facilities, legal, finance, human resources, insurance, public affairs and procurement), patient advocacy activities and certain compensation and other corporate costs (such as interest income and expense, and gains and losses on investments, as well as overhead expenses associated with our manufacturing, which include 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.
The Company does not report depreciation expense, total assets and capital expenditures by segment, as such information is not used by the chief operating decision maker.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

15.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 condensed consolidated balance sheets, except for obligations reflected as acquisition related contingent consideration, including those related to the Idorsia Transaction. Refer to Note 11 Financial Instruments and Risk Management for further discussion of contingent consideration.
Our potential maximum development milestones not accrued for at June 30, 2024 totaled approximately $407 million. We estimate that the amounts that may be paid through the end of 2024 to be approximately $8 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. Under the terms of the license and commercialization agreement, as of June 30, 2024, Mapi is eligible to receive regulatory approval and commercial launch milestone payments of up to $90.0 million. Additionally, upon commercial launch of GA Depot, Mapi is eligible to receive potential contingent payments, such as tiered royalties and tiered sales-based milestones.
41
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
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, which is expected during 2024. 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 fourth quarter of 2023.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company was informed that Mapi received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) regarding the NDA for GA Depot 40 mg from the FDA. The Companies are reviewing the content of the CRL and will be determining the appropriate next steps.
The Company holds investments in preferred shares of Mapi that are accounted for at cost, less impairment, if any, adjusted for observable price changes, in accordance with ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. During the second quarter of 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 second quarter of 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our condensed consolidated balance sheets included, within Other Assets, $132.1 million related to our equity investments in Mapi, which included cumulative unrealized gains of $62.1 million, and within Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, $52.5 million related to advances, including for initial orders of commercial launch supply of GA Depot under our supply agreement with Mapi. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with Mapi is limited to the carrying value of the investments and advances.
There have been no other significant changes to our licensing and other partner agreements as disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.
16.Income Taxes
Legislative Updates
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The share repurchase and authorization amounts otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q exclude the excise tax. The Company does not anticipate being subject to the 15% CAMT tax in either 2023 or 2024 based on enacted law and regulatory guidance; however, our CAMT status could change in the future, depending on new regulations or regulatory guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
In addition, many countries are actively considering or have proposed or enacted changes to their tax laws based on the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (“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 the impact of the Pillar Two Rules in the countries that have enacted such rules effective January 1, 2024, is not material to our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. While the Company is monitoring developments and evaluating the potential impact on future periods, we do not expect Pillar Two Rules to have a significant impact on the 2024 financial results.

VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 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 2022 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 has been refunded.
In France, the tax authorities have 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 have commenced litigation before the French tax courts where the tax authorities will seek unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest.
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 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 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 has filed a petition seeking review of the decision to the Supreme Administrative Court.
The Company has recorded a net reserve for uncertain tax positions of $239.3 million and $287.1 million, including interest and penalties, in connection with its international audits at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In connection with our international tax audits, it is possible that we will incur material losses above the amounts reserved.

VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
The Company’s major U.S. state taxing jurisdictions remain open from fiscal year 2013 through 2022, with several state audits currently in progress. The Company’s major international taxing jurisdictions remain open from 2012 through 2023.
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.

17.Litigation
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.
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 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 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 condensed 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 are 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 seek monetary damages, declaratory relief, attorneys’ fees and costs. A trial is currently scheduled to begin in July 2026.
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. These actions have been consolidated. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. Class certification was denied.
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 communicated with certain other State Attorneys General regarding related issues. The issues covered in the Mississippi subpoena and the communications with certain other 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.
The Company has a total accrual of approximately $5.5 million related to these matters at June 30, 2024, which is included in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although it is reasonably possible that the
45
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
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 and/or stock price in future periods.
Drug Pricing Matters
Department of Justice
On December 3, 2015, the Company received a subpoena from the Antitrust Division of the DOJ seeking information relating to the marketing, pricing, and sale of certain of our generic products and any communications with competitors about such products. On September 8, 2016, the Company, as well as certain employees and a member of senior management, received subpoenas from the DOJ seeking similar information. Related search warrants also were executed.
On May 10, 2018, the Company received a civil investigative demand from the Civil Division of the DOJ seeking information relating to the pricing and sale of its generic drug products.
We had fully cooperated with these investigations, which we believe were related to a broader industry-wide investigation of the generic pharmaceutical industry. The Antitrust Division of the DOJ has advised that it no longer considers the Company, and its former President, a subject of its antitrust investigation. The Civil Division of the DOJ has also informed the Company that it does not expect to take any further actions in connection with its civil investigative demand.
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 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 has ordered certain plaintiffs’ complaints regarding two single-drug product cases to proceed as bellwethers. The Company is named in those plaintiffs’ complaints that regard one of the two individual drug products and class certification and summary judgment motions are pending.
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 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-four 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-four states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico against certain individuals, including the Company’s former President, with respect to a single drug product. The amended 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 in this case has 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 sales employees,
46
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
alleging anticompetitive conduct with respect to additional generic drugs. On November 1, 2019, the complaint was amended, adding additional states as plaintiffs. The operative complaint is brought by attorneys general of forty-five 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 Company sales employee. The amended 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-four states, certain territories and the District of Columbia. The amended 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 in this case has been dismissed. This lawsuit was transferred to the aforementioned MDL proceeding in the EDPA and was ordered to proceed as a bellwether.
The aforementioned complaints have now been transferred back to the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.
Securities Related Litigation
Purported class action complaints were filed in October 2016 against Mylan N.V. and Mylan Inc. (collectively, for the purposes of this paragraph, “Mylan”), certain of Mylan’s former directors and officers, and certain of the Company’s current directors and officers (collectively, for purposes of this paragraph, the “defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) on behalf of certain purchasers of securities of Mylan on the NASDAQ (“SDNY Class Action Litigation”). The complaints alleged that defendants 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. On March 20, 2017, a consolidated amended complaint was filed alleging substantially similar claims, but adding allegations that defendants made false or misleading statements and omissions of purportedly material fact in connection with allegedly anticompetitive conduct with respect to EpiPen® Auto-Injector and certain generic drugs.
The operative complaint is the third amended consolidated complaint, which was filed on June 17, 2019, and contains the allegations as described above against Mylan, certain of Mylan’s former directors and officers, and certain of the Company’s current directors, officers, and employees (collectively, for purposes of this paragraph, the “defendants”). A class has been certified covering all persons or entities that purchased Mylan common stock between February 21, 2012 and May 24, 2019 excluding defendants, certain of the Company’s current directors and officers, former directors and officers of Mylan, members of their immediate families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors or assigns, and any entity in which defendants have or had a controlling interest. Plaintiffs seek damages and costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert costs. On March 30, 2023, the Court dismissed all of Plaintiffs’ claims by granting Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and denying Plaintiffs’ cross-motion for partial summary judgment. Plaintiffs’ appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit were rejected and the SDNY’s decision dismissing Plaintiffs’ claims was affirmed.
On April 30, 2017, a similar lawsuit was filed in the Tel Aviv District Court (Economic Division) in Israel (“Israel Litigation”), which had been stayed pending a decision in the SDNY Class Action Litigation. The Israel Litigation was dismissed by the Court.
On February 14, 2020, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority filed a complaint against Mylan in the SDNY asserting allegations pertaining to EpiPen® Auto-Injector and certain generic drugs under the federal securities laws (“ADIA Litigation”) that overlap with those asserted in the SDNY Class Action Litigation. The complaint filed in the ADIA Litigation seeks monetary damages as well as the plaintiff’s fees and costs.
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/current 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
47
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
securities of Mylan N.V. (“WDPA Mylan N.V. Class Action Litigation”). The amended complaint alleges that defendants 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. On May 18, 2023, the Court dismissed 45 of the 46 challenged statements. The complaint seeks monetary damages, as well as the plaintiff’s fees and costs.
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/current director of the Company, and certain former and current employees of the Company (“Skandia Litigation”). The Complaint filed in the Skandia Litigation asserts claims which are based on allegations that are similar to those in the SDNY Class Action Litigation and WDPA Mylan N.V. Class Action Litigation. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees.
On October 28, 2021, the Company and certain of its then officers and directors were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on behalf of former Mylan shareholders who received Company common stock in connection with the Combination. A non-Viatris affiliated company and persons were also named as defendants. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 for purportedly failing to disclose or misrepresenting material information in the registration statement and related prospectus issued in connection with the Combination. On January 3, 2023, an amended complaint was filed naming the same defendants and alleging the same violations as the original complaint. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages, reasonable costs and expenses, and certain other equitable and injunctive relief. The Court has approved the settlement to fully resolve this matter.
Beginning in May 2023, putative class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and 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, a director, and a former officer and director (“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.
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.
Opioids
The Company, along with other manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, and individual healthcare providers is a defendant in more than 1,000 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. In addition, lawsuits have been filed as putative class actions including on behalf of children with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome due to alleged exposure to opioids.
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 have been consolidated in an MDL in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District Court of Ohio.
On January 13, 2023, the Company received a civil subpoena from the Attorney General of the State of New York seeking information relating to opioids manufactured, marketed, or sold by the Company and related subject matter. Beginning in January 2024, the Company has received similar subpoenas from the Attorneys General of Alaska, Oregon, Utah, Maryland, and Louisiana. The Company is fully cooperating with these subpoena requests.
48
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
The Company has accrued approximately $270 million in connection with the possible resolution of certain of these matters at June 30, 2024, which is included in other current liabilities in the condensed 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 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 served a claim 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 €12.3 million as of June 30, 2024 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 Les Laboratoires Servier (“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, Inc., 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.
The Company has received a notice from an organization representing health insurers in the Netherlands stating an intention to commence follow-on litigation and asserting monetary damages. Also, bodies of national health authorities in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland served a claim in the English High Court against Servier, seeking monetary damages, plus interest, purportedly arising from the settlement agreements. Servier plans to seek to have all of the generic companies, including the Company, joined as defendants in this litigation.
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 $65.7 million as of June 30, 2024 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
49
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
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. Similar lawsuits pertaining to valsartan have been filed in other countries. 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 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. Since 2016, certain cases in the MDL were remanded to certain state courts. In 2017, the District Court granted Pfizer’s motion for summary judgment, dismissing all of the cases pending in the MDL. In June 2018, this dismissal was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. State court proceedings remain pending in Missouri and New York.
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 including but not limited to the matters described below. 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 and/or stock price.
The Company has approximately $5.1 million accrued related to its intellectual property matters at June 30, 2024. 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.
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. The companies assert the invalidity and/or non-infringement of polymorph patents expiring in 2030 and 2031, and a method of use patent expiring in 2039. The companies have not filed Paragraph IV certifications to our compound patents, which currently expire in December 2025, with one compound patent subject to a patent term extension to October 2028. Beginning in February 2023, we brought patent infringement actions against the generic filers in federal district courts, including the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania asserting infringement of the patents by the generic companies. The actions filed in Delaware and North Carolina have been dismissed and the actions will proceed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Company has entered into settlement agreements with Teva, Accord, Orbicular, and Lupin
50
VIATRIS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Continued
granting licenses to commercialize their generic versions of Yupelri® in April 2039 or earlier depending on certain circumstances. Four ANDA filers remain in the litigation.
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. The generic company asserts the invalidity and/or non-infringement of six Orange Book listed patents that all have expiration dates in October 2035. In July 2023, Oyster Point brought a patent infringement action against the generic filer in the U.S. District Court of the District of New Jersey asserting infringement by the generic company. In March 2024, Oyster Point filed an amended complaint asserting infringement with respect to four additional patents that were recently listed in the Orange Book for Tyrvaya® and also have expiration dates in October 2035.
Amitiza
In September 2023, Sawai Pharmaceutical Co. (“Sawai”) filed challenges with the Japanese Patent Office (“JPO”) asserting invalidity of patent term extensions for the JPP ‘4332353 patent (the ‘353 patent) relevant to Amitiza®, which the Company commercializes in Japan as a licensee of the relevant patents, including the ‘353 patent. Towa Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. also filed a challenge to the ‘353 patent term extension in January 2024. Separately, in December 2023, Sawai filed an invalidity action with the JPO against the ‘353 patent itself. With the granted extensions, the ‘353 patent has expiration dates for the Company’s 24µg and 12µg strengths of April 2025 and April 2027, respectively. In April 2024, Sawai filed challenges with the JPO with respect to the 12µg strength, asserting invalidity of patent term extensions of three additional patents expiring in August 2027, November 2027, and December 2028, and challenged the validity of the August 2027 patent itself.
Other Litigation
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings including commercial, contractual, employment, or other similar matters that are considered normal to its business. The Company has approximately $20 million accrued related to these various other legal proceedings at June 30, 2024.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis addresses material changes in the financial condition and results of operations of Viatris Inc. and subsidiaries for the periods presented. Unless context requires otherwise, the “Company,” “Viatris,” “our” or “we” refer to Viatris Inc. and its subsidiaries.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Viatris’ 2023 Form 10-K, the unaudited interim financial statements and related Notes included in Part I — Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and our other SEC filings and public disclosures. The interim results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period.
This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements”. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about the goals or outlooks with respect to the Company’s strategic initiatives, including but not limited to the Company’s two-phased strategic vision and potential, announced and completed divestitures, acquisitions or other transactions; the benefits and synergies of such divestitures, acquisitions, or other transactions, or restructuring programs; future opportunities for the Company and its products; and any other statements regarding the Company’s future operations, financial or operating results, capital allocation, dividend policy and payments, stock repurchases, debt ratio and covenants, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, anticipated growth, market opportunities, strategies, competitions, commitments, confidence in future results, efforts to create, enhance or otherwise unlock the value of our unique global platform, and other expectations and targets for future periods.

•the possibility that the Company may be unable to achieve intended or expected benefits, goals, outlooks, synergies, growth opportunities and operating efficiencies in connection with divestitures, acquisitions, other transactions, or restructuring programs, within the expected timeframes or at all;
•with respect to divestitures, failure to realize the total transaction values or proceeds, including as a result of any purchase price adjustment or a failure to achieve any conditions to the payment of any contingent consideration;

•the Company’s liquidity, capital resources and ability to obtain financing;
•any regulatory, legal or other impediments to the Company’s ability to bring new products to market, including but not limited to “at-risk launches”;
•success of clinical trials and the Company’s or its partners’ ability to execute on new product opportunities and develop, manufacture and commercialize products;
•any changes in or difficulties with the Company’s manufacturing facilities, including with respect to inspections, remediation and restructuring activities, supply chain or inventory or the ability to meet anticipated demand;
•the scope, timing and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings, including government inquiries or investigations, and the impact of any such proceedings on the Company;
•any significant breach of data security or data privacy or disruptions to our IT systems;
•risks associated with having significant operations globally;
•the ability to protect intellectual property and preserve intellectual property rights;
•changes in third-party relationships;
52
•the effect of any changes in the Company’s or its partners’ customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns, including customer loss and business disruption being greater than expected following an acquisition or divestiture;
•the impacts of competition, including decreases in sales or revenues as a result of the loss of market exclusivity for certain products;
•changes in the economic and financial conditions of the Company or its partners;
•uncertainties regarding future demand, pricing and reimbursement for the Company’s products;
•uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management, including but not limited to general political and economic conditions, inflation rates and global exchange rates; and

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 products are more difficult, costly and
53
time-consuming to receive regulatory approval for and bring to market. 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.
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 product are approved and marketed, there can often be very substantial and rapid declines in the branded product’s sales. For example, depending on certain factors – including decisions by Japanese regulatory and/or patent authorities – generic entry may occur for Amitiza® 24 μg in Japan prior to one of the patents relevant to Amitiza® expiring in April 2025.
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 low 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 and staffing challenges and other economic considerations, supply chain disruptions, foreign currency exchange fluctuations, public health epidemics, changes in intellectual property legal protections and other regulatory changes.
Recent Developments
Idorsia Acquisition
On March 15, 2024, the Company acquired the development programs and certain personnel related to selatogrel and cenerimod from Idorsia in exchange for an upfront payment to Idorsia of $350 million, potential 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 contributing to the development costs for both programs. Viatris has worldwide commercialization rights for both selatogrel and cenerimod (excluding, for cenerimod only, Japan, South Korea and certain countries in the Asia-Pacific region). A joint development committee is overseeing the development of the ongoing Phase 3 programs through regulatory approval. The agreements also provide Viatris a right of first refusal and a right of first negotiation for certain other assets in Idorsia’s pipeline. The transaction expands 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.
Refer to Note 4 Acquisitions and Other Transactions in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information.
54
Divestitures
On October 1, 2023, the Company announced it received an offer for the divestiture of its OTC Business, and entered into definitive agreements to divest its women’s healthcare business and, separately, in another transaction, its rights to two women’s healthcare products in certain countries, its API business in India and commercialization rights in the Upjohn Distributor Markets. The divestiture of the women’s healthcare business is primarily related to our oral and injectable contraceptives and does not include all of our women’s healthcare related products; as an example, our Xulane® product in the U.S. is excluded. The transaction to divest the Company’s rights to two women’s healthcare products in certain countries closed in December 2023 (other than in the U.K., which remains subject to regulatory approval), and the divestiture of the women’s healthcare business closed in March 2024. The divestitures of the commercialization rights in certain of the Upjohn Distributor Markets closed during 2023 and 2024, the divestiture of our API business in India closed in June 2024, and the OTC Transaction closed in July 2024.
Refer to Note 5 Divestitures in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information.
Share Repurchase Program
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. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 19.2 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $250 million and approximately 21.2 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $250 million, respectively, under the program. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased a total of $500 million in shares under the program. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock.

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 sales 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 “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

(2)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 2024 constant currency net sales or revenues to the corresponding amount in the prior year.
(3)For the three months ended June 30, 2024, other revenues in Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ, and Emerging Markets were approximately $5.9 million, $0.4 million, $0.2 million, and $4.2 million, respectively.
(4)Amounts exclude intersegment revenue which eliminates on a consolidated basis.
Total Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Viatris reported total revenues of $3.80 billion, compared to $3.92 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $122.0 million, or 3%. Total revenues include both net sales and other revenues from third parties. Net sales for the current quarter were $3.79 billion, compared to $3.91 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $123.6 million, or 3%. Other revenues for the current quarter were $10.7 million, compared to $9.1 million for the comparable prior year period.
The decrease in net sales was partially driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $98.9 million, or 3%, primarily reflecting changes in the U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies of subsidiaries in countries within the EU, Japan, China, and countries in Emerging Markets. Additionally, net sales decreased by approximately $109.2 million or 3% due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that have closed during 2023 and 2024. On a constant currency basis, net sales from the remaining business increased by approximately $84.5 million, or 2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by new product sales, primarily in the U.S., of approximately $209.9 million. New product sales include new products launched in 2024 and the carryover impact of new products, including business development, launched within the last twelve months. This increase was partially offset by base business erosion of approximately $125.4 million.
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 33% and 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net sales are derived from our four reporting segments: Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ, and Emerging Markets.
57
Developed Markets Segment
Net sales from Developed Markets decreased by $34.6 million or 1% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the prior year period. The decrease was partially driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $15.7 million, or 1%. Net sales also decreased by approximately $31.6 million or 1% due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that have closed during 2023 and 2024. Constant currency net sales from the remaining business increased by $12.7 million or less than 1% when compared to the prior year period. New product sales, including Breyna™ in the U.S., combined with the stability of our existing product portfolio, helped to offset the anticipated lower net sales of certain existing products within the U.S., including EpiPen® Auto-Injector and Perforomist®, as a result of lower pricing and volumes due to additional competition and unfavorable channel dynamics. Net sales within North America totaled approximately $986.4 million and net sales within Europe totaled approximately $1.33 billion.
Greater China Segment
Net sales from Greater China increased by $6.9 million or 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the prior year period. The unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation was approximately $19.0 million, or 4%. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $25.9 million or 5% when compared to the prior year period, driven by higher volumes of existing products. Divestitures did not have a significant impact on the net sales for the current quarter.
JANZ Segment
Net sales from JANZ decreased by $25.9 million or 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was the result of the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $29.9 million, or 8%. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $4.5 million, or 1%, when compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by new product sales in Australia and volume growth of our promoted brands in Japan. This increase was partially offset by lower net sales of existing products mainly driven by lower pricing in Japan as a result of government price reductions and additional competition. Divestitures did not have a significant impact on the net sales for the current quarter.
Emerging Markets Segment
Net sales from Emerging Markets decreased by $70.0 million or 11% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was partially driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $34.3 million, or 5%. In addition, net sales also decreased by approximately $77.1 million, or 12%, due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that have closed during 2023 and 2024. Constant currency net sales from the remaining business increased by $41.4 million, or 6% when compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by new products and higher volumes of existing products in certain Latin American, Middle Eastern and Asian countries.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales increased from $2.31 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $2.35 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was driven by an IPR&D intangible asset impairment charge of $102.0 million. Refer to Note 10 Goodwill and Intangible Assets in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information. This increase was partially offset by the impact of the decrease in net sales, including as a result of the divestitures that have closed during 2023 and 2024.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.45 billion and gross margins were 38%. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, gross profit was $1.61 billion and gross margins were 41%. This change in gross profit is primarily related to the decrease in net sales and the increase in cost of sales. Adjusted gross margins were approximately 58% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately 60% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating Expenses
Research & Development Expense
R&D expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $204.1 million, compared to $208.3 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $4.2 million due to the timing of clinical development programs.
Selling, General & Administrative Expense
SG&A expense for the current quarter was $1.36 billion, compared to $1.03 billion for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $326.1 million. The increase was primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of $321.0 million related to the JANZ reporting unit, and higher acquisition and divestiture-related costs of approximately $41.3 million. Refer to Note 10 Goodwill and Intangible Assets in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information on the goodwill impairment charge.

59
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $145.8 million, compared to $143.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $2.1 million. The increase is primarily due to the non-cash accretion of the contingent consideration liability related to the Idorsia Transaction, partially offset by lower interest expense as a result of 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, foreign exchange, expense (income) related to post-employment benefit plans, TSA income, and interest and dividend income. Other expense (income), net for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $6.1 million of expense, compared to $107.5 million of income for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
The decrease in other income, net was primarily driven by: (1) net loss on divestitures of approximately $258.8 million; and (2) lower TSA income of approximately $40.8 million as the prior year period included TSA income related to the reimbursement for transition services provided to Biocon Biologics. Biocon Biologics had substantially exited all transition services with Viatris as of December 31, 2023. The costs related to the transition services are included in SG&A and R&D. This decrease was partially offset by higher net gains of $174.2 million related to our non-marketable equity investments, including the CCPS in Biocon Biologics.
Income Tax (Benefit) Provision
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $65.4 million, compared to an income tax provision of $69.0 million for the comparable prior year period, a change of $134.4 million. The current year income tax provision was negatively impacted due to the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2024, for which no tax benefit was realized. This was partially offset by a benefit related to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions as a result of the favorable court decision in the Australian tax matter, and certain statute of limitations expirations. 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.

Total Revenues
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Viatris reported total revenues of $7.46 billion, compared to $7.65 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $187.7 million, or 2%. Total revenues include both net sales and other revenues from third parties. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $7.44 billion, compared to $7.63 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $189.2 million, or 2%. Other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $20.6 million, compared to $19.1 million for the comparable prior year period.
The decrease in net sales was driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $176.1 million, or 2%, primarily reflecting changes in the U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies of subsidiaries in Japan, China, and countries in Emerging Markets. Additionally, net sales decreased by approximately $154.8 million or 2% due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that have closed during 2023 and 2024. On a constant currency basis, net sales from the remaining business increased by approximately $141.7 million, or 2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by new product sales, primarily in the U.S., of approximately $364.2 million. New product sales include new products launched in 2024 and the carryover impact of new products, including business development, launched within the last twelve months. This increase was partially offset by base business erosion of approximately $222.5 million.
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 33% and 35% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net sales are derived from our four reporting segments: Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ, and Emerging Markets.
61
Developed Markets Segment
Net sales from Developed Markets decreased by $39.6 million or 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the prior year period. The unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation was approximately $1.7 million. Net sales decreased by approximately $46.7 million or 1% due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that have closed during 2023 and 2024. Constant currency net sales from the remaining business increased by approximately $8.8 million or less than 1% when compared to the prior year period. New product sales, including Breyna™ in the U.S., combined with the stability of our existing product portfolio, helped to offset the anticipated lower net sales of certain existing products within the U.S., including EpiPen® Auto-Injector and Perforomist®, as a result of lower pricing and volumes due to additional competition and unfavorable channel dynamics. Net sales within North America totaled approximately $1.88 billion and net sales within Europe totaled approximately $2.60 billion.
Greater China Segment
Net sales from Greater China decreased by $13.8 million or 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was the result of the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $40.5 million, or 4%. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $26.7 million or 2% when compared to the prior year period, driven by higher volumes of existing products. Divestitures did not have a significant impact on the net sales for the current quarter.
JANZ Segment
Net sales from JANZ decreased by $50.3 million or 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was the result of the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $60.7 million, or 8%. Constant currency net sales increased by approximately $11.0 million, or 2%, when compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by new product sales in Australia and volume growth of our promoted brands in Japan. This increase was partially offset by lower net sales of existing products mainly driven by lower pricing in Japan as a result of government price reductions and additional competition. Divestitures did not have a significant impact on the net sales for the current quarter.
Emerging Markets Segment
Net sales from Emerging Markets decreased by $85.5 million or 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $73.2 million, or 6%. In addition, net sales also decreased by approximately $107.5 million, or 8%, due to the inclusion of net sales in the prior year period related to divestitures that have closed during 2023 and 2024. Constant currency net sales from the remaining business increased by $95.2 million, or 7% when compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by new products and higher volumes of existing products in certain Latin American, Middle Eastern and Asian countries.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales increased from $4.50 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $4.51 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was driven by an IPR&D intangible asset impairment charge of $102.0 million. Refer to Note 10 Goodwill and Intangible Assets in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information. This increase was largely offset by the impact of the decrease in net sales, including as a result of the divestitures that have closed during 2023 and 2024.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.95 billion and gross margins were 40%. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, gross profit was $3.15 billion and gross margins were 41%. This change in gross profit is primarily related to the decrease in net sales and the increase in cost of sales. Adjusted gross margins were approximately 58% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately 60% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
62
A reconciliation between cost of sales, as reported under U.S. GAAP, and adjusted cost of sales and adjusted gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:

Operating Expenses
Research & Development Expense
R&D expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $403.8 million, compared to $391.2 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $12.6 million. This increase was primarily due to continued investment in our pipeline, including for the selatogrel and cenerimod clinical development programs.
Selling, General & Administrative Expense
SG&A expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.38 billion, compared to $1.99 billion for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $384.7 million. The increase was primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of $321.0 million related to the JANZ reporting unit, and higher acquisition and divestiture-related costs of approximately $66.7 million. Refer to Note 10 Goodwill and Intangible Assets in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information on the goodwill impairment charge.
Litigation Settlements and Other Contingencies, Net

Refer to Note 17 Litigation in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information.
63
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $284.2 million, compared to $290.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $6.5 million. The decrease is primarily due to the impact of debt repayments, partially offset by the non-cash accretion of the contingent consideration liability related to the Idorsia Transaction.
Other Expense (Income), Net
Other expense (income), net includes gains and losses from divestitures of businesses, changes in the fair value of equity securities, foreign exchange, expense (income) related to post-employment benefit plans, TSA income, and interest and dividend income. Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $133.0 million, compared to $177.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The decrease in other income, net was primarily driven by a net loss on divestitures of approximately $188.4 million, and by lower TSA income of approximately $73.1 million as the prior year period included TSA income related to the reimbursement for transition services provided to Biocon Biologics. Biocon Biologics had substantially exited all transition services with Viatris as of December 31, 2023. The costs related to the transition services are included in SG&A and R&D. This was partially offset by higher net gains of $200.8 million related to our non-marketable equity investments, including the CCPS in Biocon Biologics.
Income Tax Provision
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized an income tax provision of $25.3 million, compared to $167.0 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $141.7 million. The current year income tax provision was negatively impacted due to the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2024, for which no tax benefit was realized. This was partially offset by a benefit related to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions as a result of the favorable court decision in the Australian tax matter, and certain statute of limitations expirations. 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. Further impacting the tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was a tax expense of $22.3 million related to an agreement with the Indian tax authorities in March 2023 in respect of the pricing of its international transactions.
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.
64
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 on divestitures of businesses, restructuring related costs, impairment of long-lived assets, 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.
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.
65
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, 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, 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 17 Litigation included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q 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 $993.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. 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.
Beginning in 2024, upfront and milestone payments related to externally developed IPR&D projects acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, which were previously included in cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, are now classified as cash flows from investing activities. Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to the current period presentation. The adjustments resulted in an increase to net cash provided by operating activities and an increase to net cash used in investing activities of $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $502.6 million to $993.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.50 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net cash provided by operating activities is derived from net (loss) earnings adjusted for non-cash operating items, 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.
68
The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was principally due to lower operating earnings, including as a result of divestitures in 2023 and 2024, higher transaction costs associated with the divestitures, and the timing of cash payments and collections.
Investing Activities
Net cash from investing activities was $221.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $836.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.06 billion.
In 2024, significant items in investing activities included the following:
•proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses of $677.7 million related to the divestitures of the API business in India and the women’s healthcare business;
•cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $350.0 million; and
•capital expenditures, primarily for equipment and facilities, totaling approximately $108.6 million. While there can be no assurance that current expectations will be realized, capital expenditures for the 2024 calendar year are expected to be approximately $350 million to $450 million.
In 2023, significant items in investing activities included the following:
•cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $667.7 million; and
•capital expenditures, primarily for equipment and facilities, totaling approximately $115.6 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.27 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1.28 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $4.7 million.
In 2024, significant items in financing activities included the following:
•repayment of the 1.023% Euro Senior Notes at maturity of approximately $801.7 million;
•share repurchases of $250.0 million;
•cash dividends paid of $288.3 million; and
•receipt of $100.0 million in deferred consideration from the Biocon Biologics Transaction, and net cash of $28.8 million collected on behalf of various partners, including Biocon Biologics, which are included in Other items, net.
In 2023, significant items in financing activities included the following:
•repayment of the 3.125% Senior Notes at maturity of approximately $750.0 million;
•share repurchases of $250.0 million;
•net short-term borrowings of $23.1 million;
•cash dividends paid of $287.7 million; and
•net cash of $33.2 million collected on behalf of various partners, including Biocon Biologics, which is included in Other items, net.
69
Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $917.2 million at June 30, 2024. The majority of our cash is invested in U.S. government money market funds. In order to support our global operations, we maintain significant cash and cash equivalents within the 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 Revolving Facility, Commercial Paper Program, Receivables Facility and Note Securitization Facility combined with cash to be generated from operations, to fund foreseeable cash needs without requiring the repatriation of non-U.S. cash.
The Company has access to $4.0 billion under the Revolving Facility which matures in July 2026. Up to $1.65 billion of the Revolving Facility may be used to support borrowings under our Commercial Paper Program. As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program or the Revolving Facility.
The Company has a $400 million Receivables Facility which expires in April 2025, and a $200 million Note Securitization Facility which expires in August 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Facility or Note Securitization Facility.
Under the terms of each of the Receivables Facility and Note Securitization 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 0.775%, and under the Note Securitization Facility at the relevant base rate plus 1.00% 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the agreements governing the Receivables Facility and Note Securitization Facility contain 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 $59.8 million and $30.8 million of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 under these factoring arrangements, respectively. Additionally, in 2023, we entered into a similar arrangement for certain European countries. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have assigned and derecognized approximately $375.2 million and $415.7 million, respectively, of Trade Receivables, Net, which are now included in Other Receivables.
For information regarding our dividends paid and declared and share repurchase program, refer to Note 9 (Loss) earnings per Share in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
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 create, enhance or otherwise unlock the value of the Company’s unique global platform in order to create shareholder value.
As previously discussed, on October 1, 2023, the Company announced certain divestiture-related transactions. Refer to Note 5 Divestitures in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information.

The YEN Term Loan Facility and the 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 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and each quarter ending thereafter, 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 June 30, 2024 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 transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, or extend or refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness.

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 $382.0 million accrued for legal contingencies at June 30, 2024.
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 and/or stock price.

In addition, in connection with the OTC Transaction and the divestiture of our women’s healthcare business, we have entered into distribution agreements for certain markets for a limited period of time. In connection with the closing of the API business divestiture, we have entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement pursuant to which we will purchase a significant amount of API from the purchaser in that transaction.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
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. The Company performed the annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2024.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test 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.
When compared to the prior year’s annual goodwill impairment test completed on April 1, 2023, due to certain macroeconomic conditions, the Company has experienced fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in certain international markets, combined with an increase in market interest rates. These conditions impacted all reporting units, with the most significant impact in JANZ and Emerging Markets. The impact in the other reporting units was offset by changes in other discount rate assumptions.
As of April 1, 2024, the allocation of the Company’s total goodwill was as follows: North America $3.12 billion, Europe $3.86 billion, Emerging Markets $1.17 billion, JANZ $0.62 billion and Greater China $0.93 billion.
In conjunction with its 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, which was recorded within SG&A in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. 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.
For the JANZ reporting unit at April 1, 2024, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately negative 0.3%. A terminal year value was calculated with a 1.0% revenue growth rate applied. The discount rate utilized was 8.0% and the estimated tax rate was 30.3%.
Following the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the JANZ reporting unit, the carrying value of the reporting unit was equal to its estimated fair value as of April 1, 2024. If market conditions or the projected results were to change materially, it may be necessary to record further impairment charges to the JANZ reporting unit in future periods.
As of April 1, 2024, the Company determined that the fair values of the North America, Greater China, and Emerging Markets reporting units were substantially in excess of the respective unit’s carrying value.
For the Europe reporting unit, the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately $882 million or 7.9% for the annual goodwill impairment test. As it relates to the discounted cash flow approach for the Europe reporting unit at April 1, 2024, the Company forecasted cash flows for the next 10 years. During the forecast period, the revenue compound annual growth rate was approximately 2.5%. A terminal year value was calculated with a 2.0% revenue growth rate applied. The discount rate utilized was 10.0% and the estimated tax rate was 15.7%. If all other assumptions are held constant, a reduction in the terminal value growth rate by 1.5% or an increase in discount rate by 1.0% would result in an impairment charge for the Europe reporting unit.
73
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.

For a discussion of the Company’s market risk, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Viatris’ 2023 Form 10-K.
