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 theU.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 theIndore facility to markets outside theU.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 inEurope . The Company currently estimates the negative impact on 2025 total revenues to be approximately and to 2025 adjusted EBITDA to be approximately$500 million .$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 theAsia-Pacific region for cenerimod, a reduction of certain contingent milestone payments by , of which$250 million is from future development milestones, and other consideration in exchange for Viatris assuming$200 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.$100 million

The stated forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure of long-term gross leverage target of ~3.0x, with a range of 2.8x – 3.2x, is based on the ratio of (i) targeted notional gross debt and (ii) targeted Adjusted EBITDA. However, the Company has not quantified future amounts to develop this target but has stated its goal to manage notional gross debt and adjusted EBITDA over time in order to generally maintain or reach the target. This target does not reflect Company guidance.
