EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, originally filed on February 27, 2025 (the “Original Filing”). We are filing this Amendment to include the information required by Part III and not included in the Original Filing, as we do not intend to file a definitive proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, in connection with the filing of this Amendment and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are including with this Amendment new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these new certifications. Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

As used in this Amendment, unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company”, “Viatris”, “our”, and “we” mean Viatris Inc. and its subsidiaries, “NASDAQ” means The NASDAQ Stock Market, and “U.S. GAAP” means accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This Amendment 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 and priorities, including but not limited to divestitures, acquisitions, strategic alliances, collaborations, or other potential transactions; the benefits and synergies of such divestitures, acquisitions, strategic alliances, collaborations, 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, share 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 value, and other expectations and targets for future periods. Forward-looking statements may often be identified by the use of words such as “will”, “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “potential”, “pipeline”, “intend”, “continue”, “target”, “seek”, and variations of these words or comparable words. Because forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. 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”;
•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 information technology (“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, tariffs and trade policies, 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.

For more detailed information on the risks and uncertainties associated with Viatris, see the risks described in Part I, Item 1A of the Original Filing and our other filings with the SEC.

You can access Viatris’ filings with the SEC through the SEC website at www.sec.gov or through our website and Viatris strongly encourages you to do so. Viatris routinely posts information that may be important to investors on our website at investor.viatris.com, and we use this website address as a means of disclosing material information to the public in a broad, non-exclusionary manner for purposes of the SEC’s Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD). The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference in this Amendment and shall not be deemed “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Viatris undertakes no obligation to update any statements herein for revisions or changes after the filing date of this Amendment other than as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Amendment includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”), gross leverage ratio, and long-term gross leverage target, are presented in order to supplement investors’ and other readers’ understanding and assessment of Viatris’ financial performance. 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 these adjusted metrics, 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. Appendix A to this Amendment contains 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 in Appendix A, 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.
