The investigational treatment is a once-weekly transdermal contraceptive patch being developed for women of childbearing potential with a BMI below 30 kg/m² who are appropriate candidates for combined hormonal contraception (CHC) and who prefer a non-invasive, reversible option with a lower estrogen dose. The U.S. FDA has accepted for review the New Drug Application (NDA) for the Company's investigational low-dose estrogen CHC weekly patch. The NDA is accepted under the FDA's 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, and the FDA has assigned a target action date (PDUFA) of July 30, 2026. The NDA is supported by results from a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, Phase 3 study (NCT05139121), which evaluated the safety and contraceptive efficacy of the investigational low-dose estrogen CHC weekly patch, and which demonstrated a favorable efficacy and safety profile and strong patch adhesion performance.The investigational low-dose estrogen CHC weekly patch aims to address an important need for women seeking a reversible birth control method that offers a lower dosage of estrogen in a weekly patch with potential best-in-class adhesion performance. This investigational treatment option builds upon the Company's established capability in transdermal drug delivery and represents a lifecycle advancement of the contraceptive patch, Xulane® (norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol transdermal system) 150/35 mcg per day.About Viatris

Presbyopia is the gradual loss of near focusing ability due to aging, that typically becomes noticeable in the early to mid-40s. It is a nearly universal condition that, when uncorrected, contributes significantly to vision-related disability. Presbyopia leads to symptoms like eye strain and blurred near vision, impacting daily tasks and productivity. It affects nearly 128 million people in the United States—about 90% of adults over 45. By age 50, most Americans require some form of near-vision correction, such as reading glasses or multifocal lenses. Globally, an estimated 1.8 billion people were presbyopic in 2015, projected to rise to 2.1 billion by 2030.RYZUMVI® IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Warnings and Precautions
Uveitis: RYZUMVI is not recommended to be used in patients with active ocular inflammation (e.g., iritis).
Potential for Eye Injury or Contamination: To avoid the potential for eye injury or contamination, care should be taken to avoid touching the vial tip to the eye or to any other surface.
Use with Contact Lenses: Contact lens wearers should be advised to remove their lenses prior to the instillation of RYZUMVI and wait 10 minutes after dosing before reinserting their contact lenses.
Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions that have been reported are instillation site discomfort (16%), conjunctival hyperemia (12%), and dysgeusia (6%).Please see Full Prescribing InformationAbout Mesopic Vision
Mesopic vision is defined as vision in dim light (interface of bright light and night vision) conditions that leverages both rod and cone photoreceptors. Decreased low contrast visual acuity under mesopic conditions occurs when the pupil dilates in low-light conditions allowing peripheral unfocused rays of light to enter the eye. The total diagnosed prevalence of Night Vision Disturbance (NVD) across the 7 Major Markets (United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan) was estimated to be nearly 55 million in 2023, with the U.S. representing approximately 45% of cases. The condition is particularly common in patients with increased ocular aberrations and ocular scatter from keratorefractive surgery (including Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK), Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK), Small-Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE), and Radial Keratotomy (RK)). It is estimated that approximately 800,000 refractive surgeries are performed in the U.S. each year, with 25% of patients suffering from visual aberrations (e.g., glare, halos, starburst) at 1-month. There are currently no FDA-approved treatments.About Viatris

Smith, CEO of Viatris. “By realigning resources and prioritizing investments in the areas we believe will drive the greatest impact, we are positioning Viatris to deliver sustained revenue and earnings growth beginning in 2026.”Looking ahead, the company forecast fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $2.33 to $2.47, with a midpoint of $2.40 slightly above analyst expectations of $2.39. Revenue is projected between $14.45 billion and $14.95 billion, with the midpoint of $14.7 billion exceeding the $14.37 billion consensus estimate.Viatris also completed an enterprise-wide strategic review aimed at improving efficiency, targeting $650 million in total cost savings while reinvesting up to $250 million over the next three years.As part of its restructuring program, the company expects to reduce its global workforce by up to 10%.

VIATRIS - FDA APPROVES GENERIC FORM OF SYMBICORT

FDA Approves First Generic of Symbicort to Treat Asthma and COPD
Agency Supports Development of Complex Generic Drug-Device Combination Product to Improve Competition and Access to More Affordable Medicines
For Immediate Release:
March 15, 2022
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first generic of Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate) Inhalation Aerosol for the treatment of two common pulmonary health conditions: asthma in patients six years of age and older; and the maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction and reducing exacerbations for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. This complex generic drug-device combination product, which is a metered-dose inhaler, should not be used to treat acute asthma attacks.
“Today’s approval of the first generic for one of the most commonly prescribed complex drug-device combination products to treat asthma and COPD is another step forward in our commitment to bring generic copies of complex drugs to the market, which can improve quality of life and help reduce the cost of treatment,” said Sally Choe, Ph.D., director of the Office of Generic Drugs in the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “This reflects the FDA’s continued efforts to increase competition and access to quality, safe, effective and affordable medicines for patients and consumers.”
Asthma impacts 25 million people, more than five million of whom are children, while COPD afflicts more than 16 million, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Asthma is a chronic, long-term condition that affects the airways in the lungs, which can be worsened by physical activity and most often starts during childhood. It can cause wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing), shortness of breath, and coughing. COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, is a long-term, chronic disease that causes airflow blockage and makes it difficult to breathe.
This drug-device combination product is a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), which contains both budesonide (a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation) and formoterol (a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways to improve breathing). Two inhalations, two times a day (usually morning and night, about 12 hours apart), treat both diseases by preventing symptoms, such as wheezing for those with asthma, and by helping with better breathing, for those with COPD. The inhaler is approved for two strengths (160/4.5 mcg/actuation and 80/4.5 mcg/actuation).
The most common side effects associated with budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate oral inhalation aerosol for those with asthma are nasopharyngitis (swelling of nasal passages and back of throat), headache, upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngolaryngeal (nose and mouth) pain, sinusitis, influenza, back pain, nasal congestion, stomach discomfort, vomiting, and oral candidiasis (thrush). For those with COPD, the most common side effects are nasopharyngitis, oral candidiasis, bronchitis, sinusitis, and upper respiratory tract infection.
The FDA regularly takes steps to help guide industry through the development process for generic drug products, including combination products, such as MDIs, that consist of a drug and a device. To further facilitate generic drug development, and to assist the generic pharmaceutical industry in this process, the FDA publishes product-specific guidances (PSGs) describing the agency’s current thinking and expectations on how to develop generic drug products that are therapeutically equivalent to their brand name counterparts. In June 2015, FDA published a PSG for budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate inhalation aerosol.
The FDA requires sponsors to submit appropriate data and information to demonstrate that complex generic drug-device combination products meet the agency’s rigorous approval standards. These standards ensure that generic drug products are as safe and effective as their brand name equivalents and meet the same high quality standards.
Complex products are medical products where uncertainty concerning the approval pathway or possible alternative approaches to product development can benefit from early scientific engagement, such as products with complex active ingredients and drug-device combination products.
Since drug-device combination products can be more challenging to develop, fewer exist, resulting in less market competition. Addressing the challenges related to complex generics, and promoting more generic competition to these medicines, is a key part of the FDA’s Drug Competition Action Plan, and the agency’s efforts to promote patient access and more affordable medicines.
The FDA granted approval of this generic budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate inhalation aerosol to Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
