Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) of Viatris Inc. and subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC for reporting on Form 10-Q; therefore, as permitted under these rules, certain footnotes and other financial information included in audited financial statements were condensed or omitted. The interim financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the interim results of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented.
Earnings per Share 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
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an identical asset or paid to transfer an identical liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Segment Reporting
Viatris has four reportable segments: Developed Markets, Greater China, JANZ, and Emerging Markets. The Company reports segment information on the basis of markets and geography, which reflects its focus on bringing its large and diversified portfolio of branded and generic products, including complex products, to people in markets everywhere. Our Developed Markets segment comprises our operations primarily in North America and Europe. Our Greater China segment includes our operations in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Our JANZ segment consists of our operations in Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Our Emerging Markets segment encompasses our presence in more than 125 countries with developing markets and emerging economies including in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East as well as the Company’s ARV franchise.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources based on total revenues and our measure of segment profit or loss, segment profitability. These financial metrics are used to review operating trends, perform comparisons between periods, and monitor budget and forecast-to-actual variances on a regular basis. Net sales of our business segments exclude intersegment sales as these activities are not regularly reviewed by the CODM and are eliminated in consolidation.
Certain costs and gains are not included in the measurement of segment profitability, or in segment cost of sales, and segment SG&A, as management excludes these costs in assessing segment financial performance. Such costs and gains include:
Intangible asset amortization expense;
Asset impairments (including of goodwill, intangible assets (including IPR&D), and long-lived assets);
R&D and Acquired IPR&D expense;
Net charges or net gains for litigation settlements and other contingencies;
Certain costs related to transactions and events such as: (i) purchase accounting adjustments, where we incur expenses associated with the amortization of fair value adjustments to inventory and property, plant and equipment; (ii) share-based compensation expense; (iii) acquisition-related costs, where we incur costs for executing the transaction, integrating the acquired operations and restructuring the combined company; and (iv) other significant items, which are substantive and/or unusual, and in some cases recurring, items (such as restructuring, including costs associated with facilities to be closed or divested, employee separation costs, impairment charges, accelerated depreciation, incremental manufacturing variances, equipment relocation costs, decommissioning and other restructuring related costs, and certain remediation costs) that are evaluated on an individual basis by management and that either as a result of their nature or size, would not be expected to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. Such special items can include, but are not limited to, non-acquisition-related restructuring costs, as well as costs incurred for asset impairments and costs, as well as gains and losses, related to disposals of assets or businesses, including those related to divestitures, and, as applicable, any associated transition activities;
Corporate and other unallocated costs associated with global functions (such as IT, facilities, legal, finance, human resources, insurance, public affairs, compliance, and procurement), patient advocacy activities and certain compensation and other corporate costs (such as certain expenses associated with our manufacturing, including manufacturing variances associated with production) and operations that are not directly assessed to an operating segment as business unit (segment) management does not manage these costs;
Other Expense (Income), Net (including interest and dividend income, gains and losses from investments, business divestitures, and foreign exchange); and
Interest expense.
The Company does not report depreciation expense, total assets and capital expenditures by segment, as such information is not used by the CODM.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
