Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in Viatris’ 2024 Form 10-K.
The imposition of tariffs on, or other trade restrictions or domestic sourcing requirements in, the territories and countries where we, our partners, suppliers, or customers do business, as well as any retaliatory actions with respect to such actions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares, and/or stock price.
The U.S. has imposed or is considering imposing tariffs on certain imports from other countries, including pharmaceutical products, ingredients and inputs, which could significantly impact our cost of doing business. The Administration has reached several bilateral trade agreements that impose tariffs on imports, including an agreement with the EU that may impose tariffs (expected not to exceed 15%) on certain brand pharmaceutical imports and may reach additional trade agreements with other trading partners that impose varying levels of tariffs.
The imposition of adopted, new, announced or proposed tariffs, trade restrictions or domestic sourcing requirements on pharmaceutical imports, including but not limited to products, ingredients, and inputs (such as API), could result in increased costs of goods and prices, disruptions to our supply chain, manufacturing delays, supply shortages, and adverse impacts to clinical trials. These measures could also result in decreased profit margins on certain of our products. In particular, any future tariffs on generic drugs, ingredients, or inputs, could significantly decrease profit margins on such products. Decreased or negative profit margins have in the past, and could in the future, make the production of certain of our products unsustainable, thereby reducing our net sales as well as access for patients.
In addition, we may be restricted in our ability to adapt, or may be unable or unsuccessful in adapting, to these impacts and challenges due to, among other things, the terms of our current customer, supply or distribution agreements, or the need to obtain regulatory approval prior to making any changes to our manufacturing locations, processes or suppliers. Existing, announced, and future tariffs, trade agreements, or domestic sourcing requirements, as well as potential exemptions, could also provide our competitors with an advantage to the extent such future impacts disproportionately affect us compared with them.
The impact of any adopted, announced, new or proposed tariffs, trade restrictions or domestic sourcing requirements on our business continues to be subject to a number of factors that we cannot predict, including, but not limited to, the scope, nature, amount, effective date and duration of any such measures. Furthermore, general uncertainty related to adopted, new or potential tariffs, trade restrictions and domestic sourcing requirements has in the past reduced and could in the future further reduce global economic activity, thereby resulting in additional adverse impacts to us.
