PITTSBURGH, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Viatris Inc.

Executive Commentary

Viatris CEO Scott A. Smith said: "Since becoming CEO, I have met with colleagues all over the globe and have had the opportunity to spend time with each business segment. I have seen firsthand the unique combination of passion, dedication and skills of the people of Viatris. The unwavering commitment to our mission is not only infectious but also is displayed by the great execution that has led to a strong start to the year and yet another quarter of robust operational performance. The strength of this quarter gives me further confidence in our ability to return to growth as we enter into Phase 2 in 2024.

Smith continued: "I want to reiterate that I firmly believe in the Company's strategic plan, including the capital allocation priorities, laid out in November. A critical part of my job is to enhance the already strong execution by the Company and, ideally, accelerate our well-crafted strategy. I look forward to the exciting path ahead."

Viatris President Rajiv Malik said: "We believe that we are headed into the final stages of completing all aspects of our Phase 1 commitments, which is a critical part of our two-phased strategy, driven primarily by the continued strength of our branded portfolio. Looking ahead, we have tremendous confidence in our ability to deliver on our full-year commitments based on effective management of our brands, $500 million-plus in expected new product launches and further progress of our pipeline, including the NDA for GA once-monthly that we filed with the FDA."

Viatris CFO Sanjeev Narula said: "We delivered a strong first quarter which met our expectations across all metrics.  This included free cash flow generation of $923 million which was prioritized for debt paydown of $546 million.  Since the beginning of 2021, we have paid down approximately $6 billion in debt. Additionally, in the quarter we returned approximately $400 million of capital to our shareholders in dividends and share buybacks. Based on our first quarter results and outlook for the rest of the year, we are reaffirming our 2023 financial guidance and remain confident in our Phase 2 outlook beginning in 2024."

2023 Financial Guidance

Viatris is reaffirming its 2023 financial guidance that was previously provided on February 27, 2023, as set forth below. The Company is not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2023 adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, U.S. GAAP net earnings, 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 the compulsory convertible preferred shares ("CCPS") in Biocon Biologics, 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 2023 is estimated to be between $2.8 billion and $3.1 billion, with a midpoint of approximately $2.95 billion. The Company currently expects to be at the midpoint of the financial guidance ranges.

(In billions)		2023 Guidance Range (2)		2023 Midpoint
Total Revenues		$15.5 - $16.0		$15.75
Adjusted EBITDA (1)		$5.0 - $5.4		$5.2
Free Cash Flow (1)		$2.3 - $2.7		$2.5

(1)	Non-GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information.
(2)	Includes the full year expected performance for the planned divestitures and excludes any potential related costs, such as taxes and transaction costs, as well as any similar costs related to the eye care acquisitions. Also excludes any future acquired IPR&D for unsigned deals.

Certain Key Terms and Presentation Matters

New product sales, new product launches or new product revenues: Refers to revenue from new products launched in 2023 and the carryover impact of new products, including business development, launched within the last twelve 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 2023 constant currency net sales, revenues and adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding amount in the prior year.

Divestiture adjusted operational change: Refers to operational changes, further adjusted for the impact of the biosimilars divestiture in November 2022 by excluding biosimilars net sales from 2022 periods.

SG&A and R&D TSA reimbursement: Expenses related to TSA services provided to Biocon Biologics are recorded in their respective functional line item; however, reimbursement of those expenses plus the mark-up is included in other (income) expense, net. For comparability purposes, amounts related to the cost reimbursement are reclassified to adjusted SG&A and adjusted R&D. This reclassification has no impact on adjusted net earnings or adjusted EBITDA.

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, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, 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) expense, net, adjusted effective tax rate, constant currency total revenues, constant currency net sales, constant currency adjusted EBITDA, 2022 adjusted net sales ex biosimilars, and divestiture adjusted operational change, 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 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 and adjusted EBITDA. These measures provide information on the change in total revenues, net sales and adjusted EBITDA 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 and adjusted EBITDA 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 the biosimilars divestiture in November 2022 by excluding biosimilars net sales from 2022 periods. The "Summary of Total Revenues by Segment" table below compares net sales on an actual and constant currency basis for each reportable segment for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 as well as for total revenues, as well as divestiture adjusted operational change in net sales. 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, 2023. 

The Company is not providing forward-looking U.S. GAAP information for its non-GAAP 2024 Phase 2 outlooks or quantitative reconciliations with respect to such outlooks to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items, including integration and acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation settlements and other contingencies, such as changes to contingent consideration and certain other gains or losses, including for the fair value accounting for the CCPS in Biocon Biologics, 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 relevant periods.

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 into this press release or our filings with the SEC.

In particular, certain statements in this release relate to Viatris' Phase 2 strategy in 2024 and beyond and its related goals, targets, forecasts, objectives and commitments (such statements, the "Phase 2 Outlooks"). Viatris believes that the assumptions used as a basis for these Phase 2 Outlooks are reasonable based on the information available to management at this time. However, this information is not fact, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such information. While certain of these statements might use language that imply a level of certainty about the likelihood that Viatris will attain these Phase 2 Outlooks, it is possible that Viatris will not attain them in the timeframe noted or at all. These Phase 2 Outlooks reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause these Phase 2 Outlooks not to be achieved, or that may change the underlying variables and assumptions on which these Phase 2 Outlooks were based and cause these Phase 2 Outlooks to differ materially, include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to our planned acquisitions and divestitures, including whether such transactions are completed on the expected timelines or at all, failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions or divestitures, failure to receive the anticipated cash proceeds of any divestitures, inability to manage base business erosion, failure to bring new products to market on the expected timeframes or at all, failure to execute stock repurchases consistent with current expectations, stock price volatility, higher than anticipated SG&A, gross margins and R&D spend, industry performance, interest rate volatility, foreign exchange rates, tax rates, the regulatory environment and general business and economic conditions, as well as those set forth in the first paragraph of "Forward-Looking Statements". In addition, although certain of the outlooks are presented with numerical specificity, they are still forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Further, these Phase 2 Outlooks cover multiple years and such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any aspect of these Phase 2 Outlooks will be realized or that actual results will not differ materially. Therefore, you should construe these statements regarding these Phase 2 Outlooks only as goals, targets and objectives rather than promises of future performance or absolute statements.
