Accounting Standards and Disclosure Rules Issued Not Yet Adopted

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 34-99678 and No. 33-11275, “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors” (the “Final Rules”), which will require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The Final Rules require, among other

things, disclosure in the notes to the audited financial statements of the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain thresholds, as well as amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates in certain circumstances. The Final Rules will also require disclosure outside of the financial statements of material scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, among other climate-related disclosures. The disclosure requirements of the Final Rules will begin phasing in for the Company for fiscal year 2025. In April 2024, the SEC stayed the effectiveness of the Final Rules. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new rules on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

There were no other significant changes in new accounting standards from those disclosed in Viatris’ 2023 Form 10-K. Refer to Viatris’ 2023 Form 10-K for additional information.
