(1) Viatris did not provide forward-looking guidance for comparable U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2022
adjusted EBITDA guidance. U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities was estimated to be between $3,100 million and $3,300 million
(without adjustment for the Biosimilars Transaction). Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information.


(2) 2022 reported U.S. GAAP net earnings was $2,079 million. 2022 reported U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities was $2,953 million.

The Company's financial guidance ranges provided on November 7, 2022 for total revenues, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow for the year ending December 31, 2022 did not include the impact of the closing of the Biosimilars Transaction and acquired IPR&D expenses. In conjunction with the November 29, 2022 closing of the Biosimilars Transaction, the Company is reporting $1.950 billion of cash proceeds in U.S. GAAP net cash provided by investing activities. The related taxes and associated transaction costs of $254 million have been reported in U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities.

Also, beginning in 2022, upfront and milestone-related R&D expenses related to collaboration and licensing arrangements made prior to regulatory approval of a development product are no longer excluded from reported adjusted financial metrics. See "Certain Key Terms and Presentation Matters" below for further information.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

Viatris also announced that, on February 24, 2023, its Board of Directors approved a 2023 dividend policy of forty-eight cents ($0.48) per share and declared a quarterly dividend of twelve cents ($0.12) for each issued and outstanding share of the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable on March 17, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 9, 2023.

Additionally, in January and February 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 21.2 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $250 million, as part of its previously announced $1 billion stock repurchase program that Viatris' Board of Directors authorized.

Executive Commentary

Viatris CEO Michael Goettler said: "For Viatris, this is the eighth consecutive quarter of strong execution that has enabled us to continue to deliver on our Phase 1 commitments to build a solid foundation and set our company up for Phase 2. The execution of planned divestitures remains on track and we are confident in our expectation that 2024 and beyond will be a period of renewed growth for the company."

Viatris President Rajiv Malik said: "We met our commitments in 2022 to advance the pipeline, integrate and capture synergies, and stabilize the base business. We believe we will continue to effectively manage our established brand business to drive stability of our base business in 2023 and position the company for growth. We are also excited with the advancement of key development programs across complex injectables, novel products, complex generics, as well as our Phase III-ready eye care pipeline."

Viatris CFO Sanjeev Narula said: "Today we reported solid operational results which were in line with our expectations for 2022. We delivered on our financial commitments, which included the paydown of $3.3 billion of debt and the return of more than $580 million in dividends in 2022. We believe Viatris is in a very strong financial position to begin 2023. Despite all of the moving pieces and ongoing activities, we expect to deliver a solid 2023 and we remain confident in our outlook for 2024 and beyond. We expect to significantly increase the return of capital to shareholders in 2023 while continuing to pay down debt. We believe the actions we are taking to reshape the company are serving to strengthen the foundation and position us for long-term growth."

2023 Financial Guidance

The Company is providing the following financial guidance metrics for fiscal year 2023.

The Company is not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2023 adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss), 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, 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.

Financial Highlights

  • Fourth quarter 2022 net sales totaled $3.87 billion, down 2% on an operational basis compared to Q4 2021 results.
  • Brands had strong performance across the portfolio, offset by seasonality in certain products in Europe.
  • Complex generics performed in line with expectations while biosimilars were below expectations due to customer buying patterns. The Company has not recognized the results of the biosimilars business in its consolidated financial statements subsequent to the closing of the Biosimilars Transaction on November 29, 2022 and results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 reflect a decrease of approximately $63.5 million related to the year over year impact of the sale. For the period from January 1, 2022 to November 29, 2022, total revenues relating to the biosimilars portfolio were approximately $611.5 million.
  • Generics, which include diversified product forms such as extended-release oral solids, injectables, transdermals and topicals, performed in line with expectations, including solid performance across the broader North America portfolio.
  • The Company generated approximately $133 million in new product revenues (as defined in "Certain Key Terms and Presentation Matters" below) in the fourth quarter (approximately $483 million for the year) primarily driven by lenalidomide in the U.S.
  • The Company had U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of $143 million and negative free cash flow of $11 million in the quarter. The Company had U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of $2.95 billion and generated $2.55 billion of free cash flow for the year. Amounts include the negative impact of acquired IPR&D of $36 million and the deal-related expenses associated with the closing of the Biosimilars Transaction of $254 million.
  • The Company paid down approximately $1.2 billion in debt in the fourth quarter (approximately $3.3 billion for the year), exceeding our 2022 target. The Company remains committed to maintaining its investment grade credit rating.

Certain Key Terms and Presentation Matters

New product sales, new product launches or new product revenues: Refers to revenue from new products launched in 2022 and the carryover impact of new products, including business development, launched within the last twelve months.

Operational change: Refers to constant currency percentage change 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 2022 constant currency net sales, revenues and adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding amount in the prior year.

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.

Prior period presentation for acquired IPR&D impact: Beginning in 2022, upfront and milestone-related R&D expenses related to collaboration and licensing arrangements made prior to regulatory approval of a development product were reclassified from R&D expenses to acquired IPR&D expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, and are no longer excluded from adjusted net earnings and adjusted EBITDA. For purposes of comparability, the prior years' U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 have been updated to reflect this change, resulting in: (i) a decrease in U.S. GAAP R&D expense and an increase in U.S. GAAP acquired IPR&D expense of $72.1 million and $70.1 million, respectively; (ii) a decrease in adjusted earnings from operations and adjusted earnings before income tax and an increase in adjusted total operating expenses of $72.1 million and $70.1 million, respectively; (iii) a decrease in adjusted tax expense and adjusted income tax provision of $12.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively; and (iv) a decrease in adjusted net earnings of $59.5 million and $57.8 million, respectively.

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, net, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted total revenues excluding biosimilars, constant currency total revenues, constant currency net sales and constant currency adjusted EBITDA 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. 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 three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 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' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

With respect to the guidance ranges as provided on November 7, 2022, at that time the Company was not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss), because it was 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 had not occurred, were out of the Company's control and/or could 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.

Important factors that may affect actual results and cause these Phase II Outlooks not to be achieved, or that may change the underlying variables and assumptions on which these Phase II Outlooks were based and cause these Phase II 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 II 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 II Outlooks will be realized or that actual results will not differ materially. Therefore, you should construe these statements regarding these Phase II Outlooks only as goals, targets and objectives rather than promises of future performance or absolute statements.
