Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to holders of Viatris Inc. common stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to holders of Viatris Inc. common stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding related to potentially dilutive securities or instruments, if the impact is dilutive.
Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to Viatris Inc. are calculated as follows:

Additional stock awards and Restricted Stock Awards were outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for each respective period because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Excluded shares also include certain PSUs whose performance conditions had not been fully met. Such excluded shares and anti-dilutive awards represented 27.6 million shares and 27.4 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 23.2 million shares and 22.7 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share on the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock on March 18, 2025 and June 16, 2025. On August 4, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share on the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, which will be payable on September 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 22, 2025. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of the Company’s common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend upon factors, including but not limited to, the Company’s financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of its businesses, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.
On February 28, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s shares of common stock. The Company subsequently announced that on February 26, 2024, its Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion increase to the Company’s previously announced $1.0 billion share repurchase program. As a result, the Company’s share repurchase program now authorizes the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of the Company’s shares of common stock. Such repurchases may be made from time-to-time at the Company’s discretion and effected by any means, including but not limited to, open market repurchases, pursuant to plans in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 or 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated stock repurchase programs) or any combination of such methods as the Company deems appropriate. The program does not have an expiration date. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 20.2 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $175.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 38.9 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $350.4 million, and approximately 19.2 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $250 million, respectively, under the program. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 79.3 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $850.4 million under the program. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock.
