Collaboration and Licensing Agreements Licensing and Other Partner Agreements
We periodically enter into licensing and other partner agreements with other pharmaceutical companies for the development, manufacture, marketing and/or sale of pharmaceutical products. Our significant licensing and other partner agreements are primarily focused on the development, manufacturing, supply and commercialization of multiple complex products. Under these agreements, we have future potential milestone payments and co-development expenses payable to third parties as part of our licensing, development and co-development programs. Payments under these agreements generally become due and are payable upon the satisfaction or achievement of certain developmental, regulatory or commercial milestones or as development expenses are incurred on defined projects. Milestone payment obligations are uncertain, including the prediction of timing and the occurrence of events triggering a future obligation and are not reflected as liabilities in the
condensed consolidated balance sheets, except for obligations reflected as acquisition related contingent consideration, including those related to the Idorsia Transaction. Refer to Note 11 Financial Instruments and Risk Management for further discussion of contingent consideration.
Our potential maximum development milestones not accrued for at March 31, 2024 totaled approximately $409 million. We estimate that the amounts that may be paid through the end of 2024 to be approximately $18 million. These agreements may also include potential sales-based milestones and call for us to pay a percentage of amounts earned from the sale of the product as a royalty or a profit share. The amounts disclosed do not include sales-based milestones or royalty or profit share obligations on future sales of product as the timing and amount of future sales levels and costs to produce products subject to these obligations is not reasonably estimable. These sales-based milestones or royalty or profit share obligations may be significant depending upon the level of commercial sales for each product.
Mapi
In 2018, the Company entered into an exclusive license and commercialization agreement with Mapi for the development and commercialization on a world-wide basis of GA Depot. Under the terms of the license and commercialization agreement, as of March 31, 2024, Mapi is eligible to receive regulatory approval and commercial launch milestone payments of up to $90.0 million. Additionally, upon commercial launch of GA Depot, Mapi is eligible to receive potential contingent payments, such as tiered royalties and tiered sales-based milestones.
In December 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement, as amended, with Mapi for the development and commercialization of certain additional products, which is subject to finalization pending the execution of a definitive agreement, which is expected in the first half of 2024. The Company made an initial upfront payment of $75.0 million which was accounted for as Acquired IPR&D expense in the consolidated statements of operations during the fourth quarter of 2023.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company was informed that Mapi received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) regarding the NDA for GA Depot 40 mg from the FDA. The Companies are reviewing the content of the CRL and will be determining the appropriate next steps.
The Company holds investments in preferred shares of Mapi that are accounted for at cost, less impairment, if any, adjusted for observable price changes, in accordance with ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company made an additional investment of $30.0 million in preferred shares of Mapi. The preferred shares are convertible on a one-to-one basis into Mapi ordinary shares at Viatris’ option. The Company recognized a gain of $45.6 million during the second quarter of 2023 as a result of remeasuring our pre-existing equity interest in Mapi, which was recorded as a component of Other Income, Net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has determined that Mapi represents a variable interest entity (“VIE”), but has concluded that Viatris is not the primary beneficiary of Mapi as we do not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Accordingly, we have not consolidated Mapi’s results of operations and financial position into our condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our condensed consolidated balance sheets included, within Other Assets, $132.1 million related to our equity investments in Mapi, which included cumulative unrealized gains of $62.1 million, and within Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, $52.5 million related to advances, including for initial orders of commercial launch supply of GA Depot under our supply agreement with Mapi. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with Mapi is limited to the carrying value of the investments and advances.

There have been no other significant changes to our licensing and other partner agreements as disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.
