First Quarter Highlights
First quarter 2021 net sales totaled $4.40 billion, down 6% compared to combined adjusted Q1 2020 results, but only down 2% compared to combined LOE adjusted Q1 2020 results driven by solid performance across all four of our segments—Developed Markets, Emerging Markets, JANZ (Japan, Australia and New Zealand), and Greater China.
Brands performed better than expectations, driven by products such as EpiPen®, Amitiza®, Lipitor® and Viagra®.
Complex Generics and Biosimilars grew by 27% compared to combined adjusted Q1 2020 results, largely driven by Pegfilgrastim, Trastuzumab and Adalimumab biosimilars.
Generics, which include diversified product forms such as extended-release oral solids, injectables, transdermals and topicals, performed in line with expectations, including for the impact of COVID-19 in Q1 2021.
The company generated $163 million in new product revenue primarily driven by the Thrombosis portfolio in the Developed Markets segment and is on track to meet $690 million in consolidated new product revenue in 2021.
The company generated $799 million of free cash flow, primarily driven by solid U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of $849 million and the timing of planned capital expenditures.
Continued solid progress in advancing key pipeline programs for biosimilars, complex products and complex injectables.
Integration and Restructuring
Workforce actions related to the company’s previously announced global restructuring program are well underway.
Plans to close, downsize or divest 13 manufacturing sites are in process. As always, the company is committed to ensuring supply continuity so that patients’ needs for critical medicines are met.
The company remains on track to realize approximately $500 million of cost synergies this year.
Capital Allocation
The Viatris Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of eleven cents ($0.11) per share.
The company paid down $1.06 billion in short-term debt in the quarter, continues to target approximately $6.5 billion of debt repayment through 2023, and remains fully committed to maintaining its investment grade credit rating.
COVID-19 Response
The company continues to support the health and safety of colleagues and their families around the world as a top priority.
Viatris has ramped up production of antiviral medicines, including remdesivir, and continues to work with government authorities in India to further reduce the cost of the medicines and educate more than 20,000 healthcare professionals about product usage as the country works to overcome its current COVID outbreak.
Viatris has a broad, diverse and resilient global manufacturing and supply chain footprint. The company is not dependent on any one country or site. Even in India, the company's manufacturing footprint is spread over five different states, which mitigates the risk of disruption in any given part of the country.

Commitment to Sustainability
The company published its inaugural Sustainability Report reinforcing its strong foundation in corporate social responsibility and commitment to doing its part to address some of the world’s most pressing health needs by providing sustainable access to high-quality medicine, regardless of geography or circumstance. The report provides a comprehensive, enterprise-wide overview of Viatris’ operations as they relate to environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters and outlines efforts from the past year across five key areas of impact: patient health, employee health, environmental health, global public health and community health. The report also includes a deeper look at Viatris’ role in the fight against COVID-19. https://www.viatris.com/en/About-Us/Corporate-Responsibility
Reaffirming 2021 Financial Guidance
Viatris is reaffirming financial guidance for 2021 as set forth below. The Company is not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net loss or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2021 adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, U.S. GAAP net loss, 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, 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 2021 is estimated to be between $2.65 billion and $2.8 billion, with a midpoint of $2.73 billion.

Conference Call and Earnings Materials
Viatris Inc. will host a conference call and live webcast, today at 10:00 a.m. ET, to review the Company's financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021. Investors and the general public are invited to listen to a live webcast of the call at investor.viatris.com or by calling 855.493.3607 or 346.354.0950 for international callers (ID#: 3557756). The "Viatris Q1 Earnings Presentation", which will be referenced during the call, can be found at investor.viatris.com. A replay of the webcast also will be available on the website.
Certain Key Terms
The combined measures described herein are calculated as indicated, are reflected as approximations and/or with rounding, and do not reflect pro forma results in accordance with ASC 805 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Such measures also do not reflect the effect of any purchase accounting adjustments, including but not limited to the elimination of intercompany sales and the fair value of assets and liabilities. Viatris believes these combined 2020 measures provide useful information to understanding and assessing our 2021 performance because they include both Mylan and Upjohn business results, adjusted as set forth below, whereas historical financial information of Viatris prior to November 16, 2020 only represents Mylan’s historical results as Mylan is considered the accounting acquiror of the Upjohn business.
Combined Adjusted Q1 2020 results refer to the sum of Mylan’s standalone results and the standalone carve-out results from the Upjohn Business for the period from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020, adjusted for product divestitures in connection with the Combination and sales to Pfizer for pharmaceutical products provided under its U.S. healthcare plan.
Combined LOE Adjusted Q1 2020 results refer to Combined Adjusted Q1 2020 results, adjusted for the impact of loss of exclusivity (“LOE”) of Lyrica and Celebrex in Japan which occurred after Q1 2020.

4


New product sales, new product launches or new product revenues refer to revenue from new products launched in 2021 and the carryover impact of new products, including business development, launched since April 1, 2020 (e.g., acquisition of Aspen's thrombosis business in 2020).

Operational change refers to constant currency percentage change and is derived by translating net sales or revenues for the current period at prior year comparative period exchange rates, and in doing so shows the percentage change from 2021 constant currency net sales or revenues to the corresponding amount in the prior year.

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, adjusted EBITDA margin, 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 expense (income), adjusted effective tax rate, notional debt to Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio, long-term average debt to Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio target, constant currency total revenues and constant currency net sales 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin refers to adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. 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 and Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) pursuant to our Credit Agreement 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 and net sales. These measures provide information on the change in total revenues and net sales 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 and total revenues 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. 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, 2021 and 2020 as well as for 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’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (the "Form 10-Q").
