Quarterly Financial Highlights

First quarter 2025 total revenues were $3.3 billion, down 11% on a reported basis and down 2% on a divestiture-adjusted operational basis compared to first quarter 2024, primarily driven by the negative Indore Impact. Excluding the Indore Impact, total revenues would have increased 2% on a divestiture-adjusted operational basis compared to first quarter 2024.
Brands net sales reflect the expansion of the Company's portfolio in Emerging Markets, and strong growth in Greater China and Developed Markets.
Generics net sales reflect the expected negative Indore Impact, partially offset by growth in certain complex products in North America, strong performance across key European markets, and volume growth in JANZ.
The Company generated approximately $67 million in new product revenues in the quarter and continues to expect to deliver approximately $450 million to $550 million in new product revenues in 2025.
First quarter 2025 U.S. GAAP net loss was $(3.0) billion compared to U.S. GAAP net earnings of $114 million in the first quarter of 2024, and U.S. GAAP diluted EPS was a loss of $(2.55) per share in Q1 2025 compared to a gain of $0.09 per share in Q1 2024, in each case primarily driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.9 billion in the current quarter. See "Goodwill Impairment" for more information.
First quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $923 million, down 23% on a reported basis and down 12% on a divestiture-adjusted operational basis compared to the first quarter of 2024, and adjusted EPS was $0.50 per share in Q1 2025, down 25% on a reported basis and down 14% on a divestiture-adjusted operational basis compared to Q1 2024, both primarily driven by the negative Indore Impact.
The Company generated U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of $535 million, and free cash flow of $493 million, including $43 million in transaction-related costs.

Additional Highlights

The Company received positive results from the Phase 3 open-label, long-term extension study for EFFEXOR^® required for approval in Japan and the Company filed applications to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for approval of EFFEXOR SR Capsules (venlafaxine hydrochloride), a serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor to treat adults with generalized anxiety disorder, an indication for which no other treatment option is currently approved in Japan.
The Company announced positive top-line results from two pivotal Phase 3 studies of its novel fast-acting formulation of meloxicam (MR-107A-02) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain. The Phase 3 program consisted of two randomized, double-blind, placebo-(double-dummy) and active-controlled trials – one following herniorrhaphy surgery and one following bunionectomy surgery. In both Phase 3 studies, all primary and secondary endpoints were met and MR-107A-02 demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful results. The Company is targeting to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of 2025.
The Company announced positive results of its Phase 3 study evaluating the contraceptive efficacy and safety of investigational XULANE LO™ low dose weekly dermal patch with 150 mcg norelgestromin and 17.5 mcg ethinyl estradiol per day in women of childbearing potential. In this study, XULANE LO demonstrated a favorable efficacy and safety profile with no new safety concerns identified, as well as a potential best-in-class patch performance profile. The Company plans to submit an NDA to the FDA in the second half of 2025.

Capital Allocation

The Company is reaffirming its commitment to prioritizing returning capital to shareholders in 2025 as previously stated.

Year-to-date, the Company returned more than $450 million of capital to shareholders, including over $300 million in share repurchases and ~$143 million in dividends paid. The Company expects $500 million to $650 million in total share repurchases in 2025 and expects to be opportunistic with cash available throughout the year.

From a business development perspective, the Company expects to continue to pursue regional licensing and partnership opportunities with immediate revenue contribution that leverage its unique commercial and R&D infrastructure and capabilities.

2025 Financial Guidance

Viatris is reaffirming its 2025 outlook that was previously provided on February 27, 2025, as set forth below, after adjusting the guidance ranges solely to reflect the impact of acquired IPR&D and share repurchases as applicable. The Company is not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net (loss) earnings or U.S. GAAP diluted (loss) earnings per share (EPS) or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2025 adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, U.S. GAAP net (loss) earnings or U.S. GAAP diluted EPS, respectively, because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items, including integration, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation settlements, future share repurchases, and other contingencies, such as changes to contingent consideration, acquired IPR&D and certain other gains or losses, including for the fair value accounting for non-marketable equity investments, as well as related income tax accounting, because certain of these items have not occurred, are out of the Company's control, and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period. With respect to the Estimated Ranges provided as of February 27, 2025, and May 8, 2025, U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for 2025 is estimated to be between $2.2 billion and $2.5 billion, with a midpoint of approximately $2.35 billion. With respect to the Estimated Ranges provided as of February 27, 2025, Viatris did not provide forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net (loss) earnings or U.S. GAAP diluted EPS or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2025 adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EPS guidance. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margins, adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, free cash flow excluding the impact of transaction costs and taxes primarily related to the divestitures, adjusted R&D and as a % of total revenues, adjusted SG&A and as a % of total revenues, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted interest expense, adjusted other income, net, adjusted effective tax rate, constant currency total revenues, constant currency net sales, constant currency adjusted EBITDA, constant currency adjusted EPS, 2024 adjusted net sales excluding divestitures, divestiture-adjusted operational change, and divestiture-adjusted operational change excluding the Indore Impact, are presented in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the financial performance of Viatris Inc. ("Viatris" or the "Company"). Free cash flow refers to U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. 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, Viatris believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its 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 included herein, along with other performance metrics. In addition, the Company believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA is 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 also report sales performance using the non-GAAP financial measures of "constant currency", also referred to herein as "operational change", total revenues, net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS. These measures provide information on the change in total revenues, net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS 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, total revenues, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS 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. Divestiture-adjusted operational change refers to operational change, further adjusted for the impact of divestitures that closed during 2024 by excluding proportionate net sales from those divested businesses from the comparable 2024 period, and divestiture-adjusted operational change excluding the Indore Impact refers to divestiture-adjusted operational change further adjusted for the negative Indore Impact. The "Summary of Total Revenues by Segment" table below compares total revenues and net sales on an actual and constant currency basis for each reportable segment for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as divestiture-adjusted operational change in net sales and total revenues. Also, set forth below, Viatris has provided reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth below, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For additional information regarding the components and uses of Non-GAAP financial measures refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of Viatris' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

With respect to the guidance ranges as provided on February 27, 2025, at that time the Company did not provide forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or U.S. GAAP diluted EPS or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2025 adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or U.S. GAAP diluted EPS, respectively, because it was unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items, including integration, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation settlements, future share repurchases, and other contingencies, such as changes to contingent consideration, acquired IPR&D and certain other gains or losses, including for the fair value accounting for non-marketable equity investments, as well as related income tax accounting, because certain of these items had not occurred, were out of the Company's control, and/or could not be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort. These items were uncertain, depended on various factors, and could have had a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period. As previously disclosed, such guidance ranges excluded the impact of any divestiture-related taxes and transaction costs as well as any acquired IPR&D for unsigned deals to be incurred in any future period as it could not be reasonably forecasted. With respect to the guidance ranges provided as of February 27, 2025, U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for 2025 was estimated to be between $2.2 billion and $2.5 billion, with a midpoint of approximately $2.35 billion.

Goodwill Impairment

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually on April 1 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Since the end of February 2025, the Company has experienced a sharp and sustained decline in its share price and significantly increased uncertainty and volatility in the geopolitical and economic environments in which the Company operates. As a result of these factors, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred for each of its reporting units and performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2025. When compared to the prior year annual goodwill impairment test completed on April 1, 2024, the recent significantly increased uncertainty and volatility in the geopolitical and economic environments in which the Company operates has increased the Company's business risks, including, but not limited to, the potential for continued or additional drug pricing reduction pressures, general uncertainty related to timing of responses and approvals from the FDA resulting from evolving regulatory priorities and associated changes to the operations of the agency, and the potential for adverse impacts from future tariffs and trade restrictions. The negative impact of any or all of these factors could be material. The recent significant increase in business risks and uncertainty have led to an increase in discount rate assumptions impacting all reporting units as compared to the April 1, 2024, annual goodwill impairment test. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.9 billion as a result of the interim goodwill impairment test performed as of March 31, 2025.

Certain Key Terms and Presentation Matters

New product sales, new product launches or new product revenues: Refers to revenue from new products launched in 2025 and the carryover impact of new products, including business development, launched within the last 12 months.

Operational change: Refers to constant currency percentage changes and is derived by translating amounts for the current period at prior year comparative period exchange rates, and in doing so shows the percentage change from 2025 constant currency net sales, total revenues, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS to the corresponding amount in the prior year.

Divestiture-adjusted operational change: Refers to operational changes, further adjusted for the impact of the proportionate results from the divestitures that closed in 2024, from the 2024 period by excluding such net sales or revenues from those divested businesses from comparable prior periods. Also, for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS, refers to operational changes, adjusted as outlined in the previous sentence and further adjusted for associated net other income.

SG&A and R&D TSA reimbursement and DSA reimbursement: Expenses related to TSA services provided for divested businesses are recorded in their respective functional line item. However, reimbursement of those expenses plus any mark-up is included in other expense (income), net. For comparability purposes, amounts related to the cost reimbursement were reclassified to adjusted SG&A and adjusted R&D during the first quarter of 2024, primarily related to the contribution of the biosimilars business to Biocon Biologics Limited ("Biocon Biologics") in November 2022. This reclassification had no impact on adjusted net earnings, adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EPS. Any TSA reimbursement and DSA reimbursement amounts related to the closed divestitures are not direct offsets to operational expense and have not been reclassified.

Closed divestitures or divestitures closed in 2024: Refers to the divestiture of the Company's rights to two women's healthcare products in the U.K. that closed in August 2024, the divestitures of the commercialization rights in the majority of the Upjohn Distributor markets that closed in 2024, the divestiture of the women's healthcare business that closed in March 2024, the divestiture of the API business in India that closed in June 2024, and the divestiture of the OTC business that closed in July 2024.

Indore Impact: Refers to the estimated negative financial impact on 2025 total revenues and (loss) earnings from operations versus the comparable 2024 periods as a result of the FDA issued warning letter and import alert related to our oral finished dose manufacturing facility in Indore, India. For first quarter 2025, the estimated Indore Impact to total revenues was approximately $140 million.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the possibility that the Company may not realize the intended benefits of, or achieve the intended goals or outlooks with respect to, its strategic initiatives and priorities (including divestitures, acquisitions, strategic alliances, collaborations, or other potential transactions) or accelerate its growth by building on the strength of its base business with an expanding portfolio of innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets; 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, strategic alliances, collaborations, or other transactions, or restructuring programs, within the expected timeframes or at all; the ongoing risks and uncertainties associated with our recent divestitures; goodwill or impairment charges or other losses; the Company's failure to achieve expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results; the potential impact of natural or man-made disasters, public health outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics or social disruption in regions where we or our partners or suppliers operate; actions and decisions of healthcare and pharmaceutical regulators; changes in relevant laws, regulations and policies and/or the application or implementation thereof, including but not limited to tax, healthcare and pharmaceutical laws, regulations and policies globally; the ability to attract, motivate and retain key personnel; 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"; products in development that receive regulatory approval may not achieve expected levels of market acceptance, efficacy or safety; longer review, response and approval times as a result of evolving regulatory priorities and reductions in personnel at health agencies; 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; 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 adverse regulatory action, 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, potential for adverse impacts from future tariffs and trade restrictions, inflation rates and global exchange rates; and inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements, and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and related standards or on an adjusted basis.
