PART I

About Viatris

Viatris is a global healthcare company whose breadth and scale we believe make it uniquely positioned to address healthcare needs globally. With a mission to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life, Viatris supplies high-quality medicines to approximately 1 billion patients around the world each year. The Company has a global footprint, an extensive portfolio of medicines that is well-diversified across therapeutic areas, a one-of-a-kind global supply chain designed to reach more people when and where they need them, and the scientific expertise to address some of the world's most enduring health challenges.

Viatris’ executive management team is focused on ensuring that the Company is optimally structured and efficiently resourced to deliver sustainable value to patients, shareholders, customers and other key stakeholders. The Company operates in more than 165 countries and territories with approximately 32,000 employees. The Company has 26 manufacturing and packaging sites worldwide, more than 1,400 approved molecules, and industry leading commercial, R&D, regulatory, manufacturing, legal and medical expertise. Viatris’ portfolio consists of generics (including complex products), globally recognized iconic brands, and an expanding portfolio of innovative medicines. Viatris is headquartered in the U.S., with global centers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Shanghai, China and Hyderabad, India.

Viatris has executed various strategic initiatives, transactions and business arrangements over the last few years to return its base business to growth, deliver on its pipeline, reduce debt, maintain an investment grade credit rating and return capital to shareholders. The Company has also completed certain transactions to simplify and streamline its business, accelerate paydown of debt and unlock value, including the Biocon Biologics Transaction and the recently completed divestitures discussed below.

On November 29, 2022, Viatris completed a transaction to contribute its biosimilars portfolio to Biocon Biologics to create a vertically integrated global biosimilars leader. A portion of the consideration received from Biocon at closing included approximately $1 billion of CCPS representing a stake of approximately 12.9% (on a fully diluted basis) in Biocon Biologics.

In October 2023, the Company announced it had received an offer for the divestiture of its OTC Business and had entered into definitive agreements to divest its women’s healthcare business primarily related to oral and injectable contraceptives, its API business in India, its rights to two women’s healthcare products in certain countries, and commercialization rights in the Upjohn Distributor Markets. The Company has substantially completed all of these divestitures:

• In March 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its women's healthcare business, primarily related to its oral and injectable contraceptives, to Insud Pharma, S.L., a leading Spanish multinational pharmaceutical company. The transaction included two manufacturing facilities in India: one in Ahmedabad and one in Sarigam.

• In June 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its API business in India to Matrix Pharma Private Limited, a privately held pharmaceutical company based in India. The transaction included three manufacturing sites and an R&D lab in Hyderabad, three manufacturing sites in Vizag and third-party API sales. Viatris retained some selective R&D capabilities in API.

• In July 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its OTC Business to Cooper Consumer Health, a leading European OTC drug manufacturer and distributor. The transaction included two manufacturing sites located in Merignac, France, and Confienza, Italy, and an R&D site in Monza, Italy. The Company retained the rights for Viagra®, Dymista® (which, in certain limited markets, are sold as OTC products) and select OTC products in certain markets.

• Viatris divested its rights to women’s healthcare products Duphaston® and Femoston® in certain countries to Theramex HQ UK Limited, a leading global specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to women's health. The transaction (other than in the U.K., which was sold to Insud Pharma, S.L. in August 2024) closed in December 2023.

• The divestitures of the commercialization rights in the majority of the Upjohn Distributor Markets closed during 2023 and 2024.

Business Strategy

The Company has laid out three strategic pillars to accelerate growth and shareholder return:

• Diversified & Growing Base Business:** We believe the Company’s continued success in its base business comes from its large and diversified portfolio of generics and off-patent brands that extends across markets and therapeutic areas. Here the Company has a clear legacy of deep product knowledge and extensive commercialization and development expertise. We believe it is important that Viatris maintains a strong focus on growing its base business over the long-term.

• Financial Strength & Significant Cash Flow:** We believe the Company’s strong balance sheet and sector-leading cash flow generation differentiate it from sector peers. The Company expects to continue to deliver on its long-term financial strategy to return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, while making investments in its business and maintaining its commitment to its investment grade debt rating.

• Expanding Innovative Portfolio:** This represents the Company’s continuous efforts to identify, vet and secure innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets in areas of unmet medical need in which it can be successful. By expanding our innovative portfolio, we believe the Company has the potential to drive accelerated and durable revenue growth over the long-term.

As part of expanding our innovative portfolio, on March 15, 2024, the Company acquired exclusive global development and commercialization rights to two Phase 3 assets from Idorsia, as well as the potential to add additional innovative assets in the future.

The collaboration includes selatogrel, a potential life-saving self-administered medicine for patients with a history of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or heart attack, and builds on Viatris' existing global cardiovascular franchise and specialty infrastructure, as well as its knowledge, leadership, and distribution capabilities for self-administered medication for acute life-threatening conditions.

The collaboration also includes cenerimod, a novel immunology asset that has the potential to be a first-in-class oral therapy for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common form of lupus. Through lifecycle management, this asset also has the potential for broad application across multiple autoimmune diseases in a specialist-driven category with attractive market dynamics for oral therapies and could be a cornerstone asset in Viatris' immunology portfolio.

Under the terms of the original agreements, the development programs and certain personnel for selatogrel and cenerimod were transferred to Viatris from Idorsia in exchange for an upfront payment to Idorsia of $350 million, potential contingent milestone payments (including $300 million payable upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones, and $2.1 billion payable upon the achievement of certain tiered sales milestones), as well as potential contingent tiered sales royalties. Viatris and Idorsia are both contractually obligated to contribute to the development costs for both programs. Viatris has worldwide commercialization rights for both selatogrel and cenerimod (excluding, for cenerimod only, Japan, South Korea and certain countries in the Asia-Pacific region). A joint development committee was formed to oversee the development of the ongoing Phase 3 programs through regulatory approval. The agreements also provide Viatris a right of first refusal and a right of first

We operate in a complex and rapidly changing environment that involves risks, many of which are beyond our control. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price could be materially affected by any of these risks, if they occur, or by other factors not currently known to us, or not currently considered to be material. These risk factors should be read in conjunction with the other information in this Form 10-K, as well as our other filings with the SEC.

Our risk factors are organized into five categories: Strategic, Operational, Compliance, Finance and General.

Summary

Below is a summary of some of the more significant risks and uncertainties we face. This summary is not exhaustive and is qualified by reference to the full set of risk factors set forth in this Part I, Item 1A.

• Strategic Risks

◦We may not realize the intended benefits of, or achieve the intended goals or outlooks with respect to, our strategic initiatives and priorities, including divestitures, acquisitions or other potential transactions.

◦There are ongoing risks and uncertainties associated with our recent divestitures, one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.

◦The integration of acquired businesses as well as restructuring programs have presented and may in the future present significant challenges.

◦We have and may continue to experience pressure on the pricing of and reimbursements for certain of our products due to pricing controls, social or government pressure to lower the cost of drugs, and consolidation across the supply chain.

◦We have significant operations globally, which exposes us to the risks inherent in conducting our business internationally.

◦Charges to earnings resulting from acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.

• Operational Risks

◦Current and changing economic conditions, including inflation, may adversely affect our industry, business, partners and suppliers.

◦The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated, and we face significant costs and uncertainties associated with our efforts to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

◦The use of legal, regulatory, and legislative strategies by both brand and generic competitors, including but not limited to “authorized generics” and regulatory petitions, may increase costs associated with the introduction or marketing of our generic products, could delay or prevent such introduction, and could significantly reduce our revenue and profit.

◦If we are unable to successfully introduce new products in a timely manner, our future revenue and profitability may be adversely affected.

◦We expend a significant amount of resources on R&D efforts that may not lead to successful product introductions.

◦Even if our products in development receive regulatory approval, such products may not achieve expected levels of market acceptance.

◦Our business is highly dependent upon market perceptions of us, our products and brands, and the safety and quality of our products and brands, as well as the effectiveness of our sales and marketing activities, and we may be adversely impacted by negative publicity or findings.

◦We have a limited number of manufacturing facilities and certain third-party suppliers produce a substantial portion of our API and products, some of which require a highly exacting and complex manufacturing process.

◦Our future success is highly dependent on our ability to attract, motivate and retain key personnel.

• Compliance Risks

◦We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.S. Foreign Extortion Prevention Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, Chinese anti-corruption laws and similar worldwide anti-corruption laws, which impose restrictions on certain conduct and may carry substantial fines and penalties.

◦Our competitors, including branded pharmaceutical companies, and/or other third parties, may allege that we or our suppliers are infringing upon their intellectual property, including in an “at risk launch” situation,

which could result in substantial monetary damages, impact our ability to launch a product and/or our ability to continue marketing a product, and/or force us to expend substantial resources in resulting litigation, the outcome of which is uncertain.

◦We are involved in various legal proceedings and certain government inquiries and may experience unfavorable outcomes of such proceedings or inquiries.

◦We are increasingly dependent on IT and information systems and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data leakage risks.

• Finance Risks

◦There can be no guarantee that we will continue to pay dividends or repurchase shares under our share repurchase program.

◦We may not be able to maintain competitive financial flexibility and our corporate tax rate which could adversely affect us and our shareholders.

◦Currency fluctuations and changes in exchange rates have impacted and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.

◦We have significant indebtedness, which could lead to adverse consequences or adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under such indebtedness, and any refinancing of this debt could be at significantly higher interest rates.

◦There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Any future changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions used or necessary revisions to prior estimates, judgments or assumptions or changes in accounting standards could lead to a restatement or revision to previously issued financial statements.

◦Viatris has suffered and in the future could suffer additional losses due to impairment charges.

Strategic Risks

We may not realize the intended benefits of, or achieve the intended goals or outlooks with respect to, our strategic initiatives and priorities, including divestitures, acquisitions or other potential transactions.

Viatris has announced various strategic initiatives and priorities, transactions and business arrangements. As the Company moves forward, it will look to accelerate its growth by building on the strength of its base business with an expanding portfolio of innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets and will focus on three strategic pillars: 1) diversified and growing base business, 2) financial strength and significant cash flow and 3) expanding innovative portfolio.

Implementing these and other strategic initiatives and priorities has included and may in the future include divestitures, acquisitions, asset purchases, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, product rationalization and other investments. Certain of these transactions and arrangements have been and may in the future be material both from a strategic and financial perspective. These strategic initiatives and priorities have been, and may continue to be, complex, time-consuming or expensive, may divert management’s and employees’ attention, and expose us to operational ineffectiveness. We may miscalculate the risks associated with our strategic initiatives and priorities at the time they are made or not have the resources or ability to access all the relevant information to evaluate them properly, including with regard to the potential of R&D pipelines, manufacturing issues, compliance issues, or the outcome of ongoing legal and other proceedings. Innovative assets are more difficult, costly and time-consumi

None.

Viatris operates in a complex and rapidly changing environment that involves many potential risks, including IT and cybersecurity risks. Risk management is an enterprise-wide objective and is subject to oversight by the Viatris Board and its committees. It is the responsibility of Viatris’ management and employees to identify material risks to our business and to implement and administer risk management and mitigation processes and programs, while also maintaining reasonable flexibility in how we operate. Our internal audit function coordinates cross functionally to maintain the Company’s enterprise risk assessment, including the identification of key and emerging risks, and reviews and refreshes this analysis quarterly with executive management. For each key or emerging risk identified, the Company establishes risk monitoring ownership, from which quarterly updates are collected for executive management and the Viatris Board’s Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee.

With respect to IT and cybersecurity risks, Viatris maintains an information security program that is aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, and which is designed to govern, identify, protect, detect, respond to and recover from cybersecurity threats. Viatris’ information security program includes policies, procedures, cybersecurity awareness communications, testing, and training for employees (including mandatory training programs for system users), system monitoring, risk reduction, vulnerability and patch management and monitoring of external developments. The information security team is responsible for defining and overseeing the execution of the Company’s information security program and strategy. The Viatris IT team, led by the Chief Information Officer, is responsible for ongoing security operations such as maintaining firewalls and patch management. In addition, the delivery of many information security programs relies on IT resources to execute the selection, delivery and implementation of security solutions, such as end-point protection and end-of-life protocols.

The Company’s Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security, under the direction of the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, reports quarterly to an internal risk committee of senior management, which includes the CEO, CFO, Chief Legal Officer, Chief People Officer, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Quality Officer, Chief Supply Officer, Chief R&D Officer and Regional Presidents, as well as the Viatris Board on the progress of the information security program and overall security status. Viatris’ current Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security has over 25 years of experience in information security within the pharmaceutical industry.

As part of its information security program, Viatris has adopted a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan (CIRP) to establish a guide for Viatris’ leadership and incident response stakeholders through an “incident” – a single event or a set of anomalous and adverse “events” or, for purposes of the CIRP, a change in a system, technology device or environment that could impact the confidentiality, integrity, availability or safety of Viatris’ data, employees or assets, caused by malicious intent or accident and impacting Viatris’ network, computing systems, digital information, employees or assets. The CIRP is managed by the Viatris global information security team and is reviewed at least annually. Viatris tests the CIRP through technical exercises semi-annually, reviews the CIRP with executive management annually, and periodically conducts executive tabletop exercises/scenarios. The CIRP provides an overview of critical actions to take through the incident response lifecycle and contains a severity matrix used to guide the Company’s incident response stakeholders on communication and escalation protocols. The severity of the incident guides the determination of the parties to whom the incident will be escalated, and the Company may decide to seek assistance from a third-party incident response vendor.

Viatris’ Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (CIRT) reports to the Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security and has the role of investigating and executing incident protocols. The CIRT is responsible for determining the potential impacts to the Company, including severity, notifying appropriate parties pursuant to the CIRP and determining whether to engage a third-party incident response vendor, among other responsibilities. Critical incidents require implementation of the global crisis plan and high severity incidents require notification to the executive leadership team once such an incident is confirmed. The Company’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures also require (i) the Company’s Information Security function to monitor and escalate, as appropriate, cybersecurity incidents or series of related incidents (including with respect to any third party provider to the Company of IT services) and (ii) the Disclosure Committee to determine, without unreasonable delay, the materiality of any such escalated cybersecurity incidents or series of related incidents with input from Global Compliance, Information Security, Legal, Finance and other groups, as appropriate.

The Company participates in several industry and third-party threat monitoring and information-sharing services, and these engagements provide insight into vulnerabilities and threats which are incorporated into the security operations and IT remediation. Key aspects of the information security program are also provided by third-party managed security providers, including first- and second-line support for incident response and the Company’s vulnerability assessment process. Our suppliers, subcontractors and third-party service providers, including third-party managed security providers, are subject to cybersecurity obligations and controls. We conduct initial risk assessments of third-party suppliers and service providers based

on various factors and then review and monitor these third-party suppliers and service providers based on their relative assessed level of risk. We also require our suppliers, subcontractors and third-party service providers to agree to cybersecurity-related contractual terms and conditions of purchase.

The Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee of the Viatris Board is responsible for reviewing management’s exercise of its responsibility to identify, assess, and manage material risks not allocated to the Viatris Board or another Committee of the Viatris Board, including data security programs and cybersecurity and IT. In the event of a severe cybersecurity incident, such as a ransomware attack or other incident that has a severe adverse effect on Viatris’ operations, critical systems or sensitive data, or which may cause severe reputational damage, executive management may determine that it is necessary to notify the Viatris Board or the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee about such a cybersecurity incident immediately. Otherwise, the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee receives reports from executive management on data security, cybersecurity and information security-related matters on at least a quarterly basis, including with respect to related risks, risk management, risk reduction programs, and relevant legislative, regulatory, and technical developments. On a biannual basis, the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee and chairs of each other Committee of the Viatris Board receive an information security update from the Company’s Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security, the Chief Compliance Officer and the Chief Information Officer. The full Viatris Board receives a report on the respective quarterly discussions from the Chair of the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee each quarter.

We and our suppliers, partners, customers and vendors have in the past experienced and will in the future likely continue to experience cybersecurity threats and incidents, including attacks on and compromises of our systems. Although we do not believe such cybersecurity threats or incidents have had a significant impact on us to date, there is no guarantee that a future cybersecurity threat or incident will be detected and remediated to not have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial conditions, cash flows or results of operations. For additional information regarding how cybersecurity threats are reasonably likely to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends, repurchase shares, and/or stock price, see Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors – “We are increasingly dependent on IT and information systems and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data leakage risks.” of this Form 10-K.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

A significant portion of our revenues and earnings are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to manage this foreign exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing same currency revenues in relation to same currency costs and same currency assets in relation to same currency liabilities.

From time to time, foreign exchange risk is managed through the use of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts. These contracts are used to offset the potential earnings effects from mostly intercompany foreign currency assets and liabilities that arise from operations and from intercompany loans. Any unhedged foreign exchange exposures continue to be subject to market fluctuations.

Our financial instrument holdings at year end were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to foreign exchange rate changes. The fair values of these instruments were determined as follows:

• foreign currency forward-exchange contracts — net present values

• foreign currency denominated receivables, payables, debt and loans — changes in exchange rates.

In this sensitivity analysis, we assumed that the change in one currency’s rate relative to the U.S. Dollar would not have an effect on other currencies’ rates relative to the U.S. Dollar. All other factors were held constant.

If there were an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates of 10%, the expected net effect on net income related to Viatris’ foreign currency denominated financial instruments would not be material.

The Company is also exposed to translation risk on non-U.S. dollar-denominated net assets. Non-U.S. dollar borrowings, principally our Euro and Yen denominated long-term debt, are used to hedge the foreign currency exposures of our net investment in certain foreign affiliates and are designated as hedges of net investments. The foreign exchange gains or losses on these hedges is included in the foreign currency translation component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If our net investment decreases below the equivalent value of the non-U.S. debt borrowings, the change in the remeasurement basis of the debt would be subject to recognition in net income as changes occur.

Interest Rate and Long-Term Debt Risk

Viatris’ exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from our U.S. Dollar and Euro borrowings and U.S. Dollar investments. We invest primarily on a variable-rate basis and we borrow on both a fixed and variable basis. In order to maintain a certain ratio of fixed to variable rate debt, from time to time, depending on market conditions, Viatris will use derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to fix interest rates on variable-rate borrowings or to convert fixed-rate borrowings to variable interest rates.

As of December 31, 2024, Viatris’ outstanding fixed rate borrowings consist principally of $13.33 billion notional amount of senior U.S. dollar and Euro notes. Generally, the fair value of fixed interest rate debt will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of our outstanding fixed rate senior U.S. dollar and Euro notes was approximately $11.53 billion. As of December 31, 2024, Viatris’ outstanding variable rate borrowings consist principally of borrowings under the Yen Term Loan Facility of $254.4 million. A 100 basis point change in interest rates on Viatris’ variable rate debt would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $2.6 million per year.

Fair Value Risk

The Company’s fair value risk exposure relates primarily to our equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, principally the CCPS received as part of the Biocon Biologics Transaction. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying value of these investments were approximately $1.35 billion and $1.14 billion, respectively. A hypothetical 20 percent decline in the fair value of these investments would have decreased the carrying value and increased other expense (income), net by approximately $270.0 million at December 31, 2024.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of Viatris Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), issued by COSO. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As a result of this assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP (PCAOB ID No. 34), has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte & Touche LLP’s opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appears on page 82 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Viatris Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Viatris Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) earnings, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 27, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Goodwill – Viatris Inc. Europe and JANZ Reporting Units – Refer to Note 8 to the financial statements.

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company performed an annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2024. As of April 1, 2024, the Company had approximately $9.7 billion of consolidated goodwill, $3.86 billion and $0.62 billion of which was allocated to its Europe and JANZ reporting units, respectively. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company performed its valuation analysis, using an income-based approach, to determine the fair value of its Europe and JANZ reporting units. The determination of the fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumpt
