| New Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards and Disclosure Rules Issued Not Yet Adopted In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 34-99678 and No. 33-11275, “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors” (the “Final Rules”), which would require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The Final Rules would require, among other things, disclosure in the notes to the audited financial statements of the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain thresholds, as well as amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates in certain circumstances. The Final Rules would also require disclosure outside of the financial statements of material scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, among other climate-related disclosures. In April 2024, the SEC stayed the effectiveness of the Final Rules pending completion of litigation in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Prior to the effectiveness of the Final Rules being stayed, the disclosure requirements of the Final Rules were scheduled to begin phasing in for the Company for fiscal year 2025. On March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the Final Rules and withdrew its defense of the Final Rules in the pending litigation. The Company continues to monitor the status of the Final Rules. There were no other significant changes in new accounting standards from those disclosed in Viatris’ 2024 Form 10-K. Refer to Viatris’ 2024 Form 10-K for additional information.
