Viatris (VTRS) reported its Q4 and full-year 2024 results, meeting guidance for revenues, adjusted EBITDA, and EPS while exceeding free cash flow targets. The company achieved $14.7 billion in total revenues, with a U.S. GAAP net loss of $(634) million and adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 billion.

Key highlights include $582 million in new product revenues, $825 million returned to shareholders, and $3.7 billion in debt repayment. The company faces challenges with its Indore facility, expecting a negative impact of ~$500 million on 2025 revenues and ~$385 million on adjusted EBITDA due to FDA warning letter and import alert.

For 2025, Viatris plans to prioritize capital return with $500-650 million in share repurchases and expects six Phase 3 data readouts for key assets including selatogrel, cenerimod, and sotagliflozin.

Per il 2025, Viatris prevede di dare priorità al ritorno di capitale con 500-650 milioni di dollari in riacquisti di azioni e si aspetta sei letture di dati di Fase 3 per asset chiave, tra cui selatogrel, cenerimod e sotagliflozin.

Zu den wichtigsten Punkten gehören 582 Millionen Dollar an Einnahmen aus neuen Produkten, 825 Millionen Dollar, die an die Aktionäre zurückgegeben wurden, und 3,7 Milliarden Dollar an Schuldenrückzahlungen.

Positive
  • Exceeded 2024 free cash flow guidance at $2.0 billion
  • Strong new product revenues of $582 million in 2024
  • Achieved 2% operational revenue growth (divestiture-adjusted)
  • Reduced debt by $3.7 billion, reaching 2.9x leverage target
  • Returned $825 million to shareholders in 2024
Negative
  • U.S. GAAP net loss of $(634) million in 2024
  • FDA warning letter and import alert affecting Indore facility
  • Expected $500M revenue impact from Indore facility issues
  • 11 products affected by import alert

Insights

Viatris delivered mixed results for 2024, achieving operational revenue growth of 2% (excluding divestitures) despite a 4% GAAP revenue decline to $14.7 billion. While the company met guidance for revenues, adjusted EBITDA ($4.7 billion), and adjusted EPS ($2.65), it posted a concerning GAAP net loss of $634 million ($0.53 per share).

The most significant near-term challenge is the FDA warning letter and import alert affecting Viatris' Indore facility, which management estimates will reduce 2025 revenues by $500 million and adjusted EBITDA by $385 million. The 77% flow-through to EBITDA indicates these are high-margin products, making this regulatory issue particularly damaging. While remediation is reportedly more than halfway complete, reinspection timing and outcome remain uncertain.

On the positive side, Viatris strengthened its balance sheet by repaying $3.7 billion in debt, achieving its target leverage ratio of 2.9x. Free cash flow exceeded guidance at $2.0 billion ($2.6 billion excluding transaction costs), demonstrating solid cash generation capabilities despite operational challenges.

The company's pipeline shows promise with six Phase 3 readouts expected in 2025. Recent publications on cenerimod (for lupus) and sotagliflozin (for diabetes with kidney disease) highlight potential differentiation, particularly sotagliflozin's unique ability to reduce myocardial infarction and stroke risks compared to other SGLT inhibitors.

Management's decision to prioritize $500-650 million in share repurchases for 2025 signals confidence in long-term prospects despite near-term headwinds. The newly announced enterprise-wide cost-saving initiative appears to be a direct response to the Indore facility impact and the need to optimize the company's structure following multiple divestitures.

The renegotiated terms with Idorsia for cenerimod and selatogrel development reflect a strategic bet on these assets, with Viatris gaining expanded territorial rights and reduced milestone obligations ($250 million) in exchange for assuming $100 million in development costs.

"2024 was a good year for Viatris with full year operational revenue growth of 2%, excluding divestitures, in line with our guidance," said Scott A. Smith, CEO, Viatris. "As we head into 2025, we are focused on driving strong commercial execution, advancing our pipeline—including several important late-stage development milestones for selatogrel, cenerimod and sotagliflozin and six Phase 3 readouts—prioritizing capital return with a focus on share repurchases, executing our remediation plan for Indore and beginning an enterprise-wide initiative to review our global infrastructure and identify additional cost savings."

"In 2024, we delivered strong cash flows that exceeded our expectations, strengthened our balance sheet with $3.7 billion of debt paydown and achieved our long-term gross leverage target, ending the year at 2.9x," said Doretta Mistras, CFO, Viatris. "Looking at the year ahead, our focus will include executing on our 2025 operating plan and identifying opportunities to grow our business and streamline our global infrastructure post-divestitures. In addition, we will prioritize capital return to our shareholders, including a sizeable minimum commitment to share repurchases."

[1] With respect to the 2024 guidance ranges provided on November 7, 2024, Viatris 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 2024 Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EPS guidance. U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for 2024 was estimated to be between $2.62 billion and $2.92 billion. 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. U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for 2024 was $2.3 billion and free cash flow excluding the impact of transaction costs for 2024 was $2.6 billion. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information.

As previously disclosed, our free cash flow guidance range excluded the impact of any divestiture-related taxes and transaction costs.

Financial Highlights

  • Fourth quarter 2024 total net sales were $3.5 billion, up 1% on a divestiture-adjusted operational basis compared to fourth-quarter 2023 results.

  • Brands net sales reflect the expansion of the Company's portfolio in Emerging Markets and JANZ, and strong growth in Greater China.

  • Generics net sales reflect strong growth from new product performance in Developed Markets, continued growth from complex products, and solid performance across our broader European portfolio.

  • The Company generated approximately $85 million in new product revenues in the quarter (approximately $582 million for the year). The Company expects to deliver $450 million to $550 million in new product revenues in 2025.

  • The Company had U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of $483 million in the quarter ($2.3 billion for the year) and generated free cash flow, excluding the impact of transaction costs, of $685 million in the fourth quarter ($2.6 billion for the year).

  • The Company paid down approximately $1.4 billion in debt in the fourth quarter (approximately $3.7 billion for the year) and achieved its long-term gross leverage target, ending the year at 2.9x.

Indore Facility Update

  • Following an inspection of Viatris' oral finished dose manufacturing facility in Indore, India, in June 2024 the Company received a warning letter and import alert from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2024. The import alert affects 11 actively distributed products, including lenalidomide and everolimus. The FDA made exceptions, subject to certain conditions, for four products based on shortage concerns. Following recently concluded interactions with the FDA regarding potential additional product exceptions, the Company currently does not expect any additional product exceptions to be granted.

    While product continues to be shipped from the Indore facility to markets outside the U.S., the Company currently anticipates some impact in other markets, including to parts of its ARV business in Emerging Markets and to select generic products in Europe. The Company currently estimates the negative impact on 2025 total revenues to be approximately $500 million and to 2025 adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $385 million.

    The Company immediately implemented a comprehensive remediation plan following the FDA's inspection in June 2024. The necessary corrective and preventive actions are well underway, including, but not limited to, related personnel actions. Additionally, the Company has engaged independent third-party subject matter experts to support the remediation plan.

    The Company is more than halfway through its remediation efforts and expects to be completed in a few months at which time the Company anticipates requesting FDA to conduct a reinspection of the facility. The Company takes these matters very seriously and is working closely with its customers to mitigate any possible supply disruptions and meet the needs of patients and will continue to work to ensure that the FDA is satisfied with the steps that have been taken to resolve all the points raised.

Additional Updates

  • In December 2024, the Company announced the publication of Phase 2b CARE study result evaluating the efficacy and safety of cenerimod in adults with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The results, published in Lancet Rheumatology, showed cenerimod 4 mg demonstrated clinically meaningful and sustained improvement from baseline on multiple measures of SLE disease activity compared to placebo, in addition to stable background SLE therapy. Cenerimod was shown to be well tolerated with an adverse event profile consistent with the mechanism of action.

  • In February 2025, The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology published a research paper analyzing the ability of sotagliflozin, a dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor, to reduce the risks of life-threatening cardiovascular outcomes. The findings from the study, "Reduction in Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events with Sotagliflozin: A Prespecified Analysis of the SCORED Randomized Trial," concluded that the ischemic benefit of sotagliflozin on both heart attack (myocardial infarction, or MI), and stroke reduction has not been shown by other SGLT inhibitors. The researchers note that sotagliflozin reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), MI, and stroke among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and high cardiovascular (CV) risk.

    The study was a secondary analysis of SCORED, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial enrolling patients with T2D and CKD. A pre-specified outcome was total MACE, which was defined as a composite of total CV death, nonfatal MI, and nonfatal stroke. Other outcomes included total MI and total stroke.

  • In February 2025, in order to preserve the ongoing continuity of the development programs for selatogrel and cenerimod, the Company updated certain terms of the original global research and development collaboration agreements with Idorsia announced in February 2024. Under the updated terms, Viatris will receive additional territory rights in Japan, South Korea and certain other countries in the Asia-Pacific region for cenerimod, a reduction of certain contingent milestone payments by $250 million, of which $200 million is from future development milestones, and other consideration in exchange for Viatris assuming $100 million of Idorsia's obligation to contribute to development costs. In addition, the updated terms provide for the replacement of the original joint development committee with a transition committee to oversee the transition of both development programs to Viatris.

2025 Financial Guidance

The Company is providing the following financial guidance metrics for fiscal year 2025.

The Company's financial guidance metrics for fiscal year 2025 include the anticipated negative impact from the Indore facility of ~$500 million to total revenues and ~$385 million to adjusted EBITDA. The Company is not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or U.S. GAAP diluted earnings (loss) 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 earnings (loss) 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, 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. 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.

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; 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, divestiture-adjusted operational change, leverage ratio, and long-term leverage target, 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 have closed during 2023 and 2024 by excluding proportionate net sales from those divested businesses from comparable prior periods. The "Summary of Total Revenues by Segment" table below compares net sales and total revenues on an actual and constant currency basis for each reportable segment for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

With respect to the guidance ranges as provided on November 7, 2024, 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 2024 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 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 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 as provided on November 7, 2024, U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for 2024 was estimated to be between $2.62 billion and $2.92 billion, with a midpoint of approximately $2.77 billion.

Certain Key Terms and Presentation Matters

New product sales, new product launches or new product revenues: Refers to revenue from new products launched in 2024 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 2024 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 2023 and 2024, from the 2023 period by excluding such net sales 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 the mark up for the TSA services provided to Biocon Biologics Limited ("Biocon Biologics") from the 2023 period.

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 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, primarily related to the contribution of the biosimilars business to 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 2023 and 2024: Refers to the divestiture of the Company's rights to two women's healthcare products in certain countries that closed in December 2023 and August 2024, the divestitures of the commercialization rights in the majority of the Upjohn Distributor markets that closed in 2023 and 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.

This target does not reflect Company guidance.
