For more detailed information on the risks and uncertainties associated with Viatris Inc. ("Viatris" or the "Company"), see the risks described in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and our other filings with the SEC. 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. Viatris undertakes no obligation to update any statements herein for revisions or changes after the date of this press release other than as required by law.

In particular, certain statements in this release relate to our "long-term financial targets", including but not limited to providing long-term targets for 2026-2030, including base case long-term target CAGR of 3-4% for Total Revenues, 4-5% for Adjusted EBITDA, 6-7% for Adjusted EPS; >$2.7B base case long-term target for free cash flow by 2030; potential additional drivers for selatogrel and cenerimod of +1% for total revenues and 0% for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS; potential additional drivers for accretive business development of 1% for Total Revenues and 3% for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS; combined long-term target CAGR of 5-6% for Total Revenues, 7-8% for Adjusted EBITDA and 9-10% for Adjusted EPS; >$3B combined long-term target free cash flow by 2030; and >$11 billion in cash available for deployment by 2030. Viatris believes that the assumptions used as a basis for the long-term financial targets 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 its long-term financial targets, it is possible that Viatris will not attain them in the timeframe noted or at all. The long-term financial targets reflect assumptions as to key exchange rates as well as regarding certain business decisions that are subject to change. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause the long-term financial targets not to be achieved, or that may change the underlying variables and assumptions on which the long-term financial targets were based and cause the long-term financial targets to differ materially, include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to our strategic priorities and initiatives, restructuring activities, 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 this "Forward Looking Statements" slide. In addition, although certain of the long-term financial targets are presented with numerical specificity, they are still forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Further, the long-term financial targets 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 long-term financial targets will be realized or that actual results will not differ materially. Therefore, you should construe these statements regarding the long-term financial targets only as goals, targets and objectives rather than promises of future performance or absolute statements.

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 EBITDA, free cash flow, and adjusted EPS are presented in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the financial performance of Viatris. Free cash flow refers to U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA refers to as U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) adjusted for income tax provision (benefit), interest expense and depreciation and amortization (to calculate EBITDA) and further adjusted for share-based compensation expense, litigation settlements and other contingencies, net, loss on divestitures of businesses, impairment of goodwill and restructuring, acquisition and divestiture related and other special items. Adjusted EPS refers to adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding. 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.

Long-Term Financial Targets

The Company is not providing forward-looking information for U.S. GAAP net (loss) earnings, EPS or U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities or a quantitative reconciliation of its long-term targets for adjusted EBITDA CAGR, adjusted EPS CAGR and free cash flow to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) CAGR, EPS CAGR and U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, 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, future share repurchases, and other contingencies, such as changes to contingent consideration, acquired IPR&D and certain other gains or losses, including for the fair value accounting impact for 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 relevant periods.
