Viatris Inc. is an American global pharmaceutical and healthcare corporation headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. The corporation was formed through the merger of Mylan and Upjohn, a legacy division of Pfizer, on November 16, 2020.[2]

The name of the corporation comes from the Latin words via, meaning path, and tris, which means three, referring to the path to three main objectives the corporation set: expanding access to medicines, meeting patient needs through innovation, and earning the trust of the healthcare community.[3][4]

Viatris ranked 254th on the 2021 Fortune 500 rankings of the largest United States corporations based on its 2020 total revenue.[5]

History

On November 16, 2020, Upjohn merged with Mylan in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction and changed its name to Viatris.[1][2] At that time, Michael Goettler became chief executive officer.[6][3]

Following the combination, the company began trading on the NASDAQ using the ticker symbol VTRS.[2]

In December 2020, the company announced a cost-reducing restructuring plan that would impact up to 20% of its global workforce, or 9,000 jobs at its facilities around the world.[7][8][9]

In 2021, Viatris was ranked 5th by Fortune on its annual "Change the World" list for having "transformed the treatment of HIV around the world in the [previous] five years through the first low-cost antiretroviral drug for first-line treatment of HIV and a children's version in the form of fruit-flavored tablets that dissolve in liquid.[10]

In February 2022, Viatris announced an agreement where it will contribute to Biocon Biologics its biosimilars portfolio and related commercial and operational capabilities in exchange for up to $3.335 billion, including a stake of at least 12.9% in Biocon Biologics.[11] The transaction was completed in November 2022.[12] In November 2022, the business agreed to acquire Oyster Point Pharma and Famy Life Sciences for an aggregate of $700–750 million to create an ophthalmology division.[13][14] The acquisitions closed in January 2023.[15][16]

In 2022 and 2024, Viatris was recognized by Forbes as one of the world's best employers[17] and by Newsweek as one of America's most responsible companies.[18][19]

On April 1, 2023, Scott A. Smith became Viatris' CEO, succeeding Michael Goettler. Smith previously served on the company's board since 2022. [20]

In April 2023, Viatris was recognized by LinkedIn as one of the 25 best companies to work for in India,[21] and one of the 25 best companies offering career development in Ireland.[22]

In May 2023, USA Today included Viatris in its list of 400 US companies that have reduced their greenhouse gas emissions intensity from 2019 to 2021. [23]

In June 2023, Viatris was named to the Forbes Global 2000 list of the world's largest companies.[24]

In October 2023, Viatris reached agreements to divest from almost all of its OTC business, its women’s healthcare business, and its India-based active pharmaceutical ingredients business for a total of about $3.6 billion.[25]

The US FDA issued a Warning Letter to Viatris Inc, dated December 19, 2024 following a 9-day inspection of a Viatris company facility in Pithampur (FDA Establishment Identifier: FEI 3010453141).[26] The inspection was conducted in June 2024. The warning letter summarized significant violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals. Among the findings, data integrity was cited in the letter, which is a recurrent theme within FDA inspection of the Pharmaceutical industry in India.[27] The immediate consequence of the FDA warning letter included restricted imports of 11 products made at the drugmaker's facility.[28] The company announced that it has taken corrective and preventative actions.[29]

Viatris products cover therapeutic areas including cardiovascular, infectious disease, oncology, immunology, CNS and anesthesia, women's healthcare, diabetes and metabolism, gastroenterology, respiratory and allergy, and dermatology.[33][34]

Partnerships

Following the formation of Viatris, the company became a member of the Biosimilars Forum, a trade organization that advocates for greater biosimilar usage.[32]

Viatris partnered with the American College of Cardiology, the NCD Alliance, and the World Heart Federation to create the NCD Academy, a platform to help fight non-communicable diseases around the world.[44][45]

In December 2020, the company worked with Sesame Workshop to create resources to help children and their caregivers manage their social and emotional needs impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.[46][47]

In April 2021, the company partnered with Atomo Diagnostics and Unitaid to expand access to HIV self-testing to 135 countries and lower the price of the tests by around 50%.[48][49]

In February 2024, Viatris entered into an agreement with Idorsia to collaborate on global research and development and the commercialization rights to Phase 3 pharmaceuticals selatogrel, a cardiac medication, and cenerimod, a novel immunology medication used to treat systemic lupus erythematosus. The agreement includes the potential to add more assets in the future.[50][51][52]
