Collaboration and Licensing Agreements Licensing and Other Partner Agreements
We periodically enter into licensing and other partner agreements with other pharmaceutical companies for the development, manufacture, marketing and/or sale of pharmaceutical products. Our significant licensing and other partner agreements are primarily focused on the development, manufacturing, supply and commercialization of multiple complex products. Under these agreements, we have future potential milestone payments and co-development expenses payable to third parties as part of our licensing, development and co-development programs. Payments under these agreements generally become due and are payable upon the satisfaction or achievement of certain developmental, regulatory or commercial milestones or as development expenses are incurred on defined projects. Milestone payment obligations are uncertain, including the prediction of timing and the occurrence of events triggering a future obligation and are not reflected as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, except for obligations reflected as acquisition related contingent consideration, including those related to the Idorsia Transaction. Refer to Note 11 Financial Instruments and Risk Management for further discussion of contingent consideration.
Our potential maximum development milestones not accrued for at March 31, 2025 totaled approximately $420 million. We estimate that the amounts that may be paid through the end of 2025 to be approximately $23 million. These agreements may also include potential sales-based milestones and call for us to pay a percentage of amounts earned from the sale of the product as a royalty or a profit share. The amounts disclosed do not include sales-based milestones or royalty or profit share obligations on future sales of product as the timing and amount of future sales levels and costs to produce products subject to these obligations is not reasonably estimable. These sales-based milestones or royalty or profit share obligations may be significant depending upon the level of commercial sales for each product.
Mapi
In 2018, the Company entered into an exclusive license and commercialization agreement with Mapi for the development and commercialization on a world-wide basis of GA Depot. Under the terms of the license and commercialization agreement, as of March 31, 2025, Mapi is eligible to receive regulatory approval and commercial launch milestone payments of up to $90.0 million. Additionally, upon commercial launch of GA Depot, Mapi is eligible to receive potential contingent payments, such as tiered royalties and tiered sales-based milestones.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company was informed that Mapi received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) regarding the NDA for GA Depot 40 mg from the FDA. In December 2024, the companies met with the FDA and reviewed the content of the CRL. As a result of the meeting, Viatris and Mapi are discussing and determining the appropriate next steps for the program. In the fourth quarter of 2024, as a result of the additional uncertainty of regulatory and commercial timing and success of GA Depot and the financial condition of Mapi, the Company impaired its equity investment and prepaid assets related to advances for the initial supply of commercial product. Total charges of $184.6 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024 as a component of Other Expense (Income), Net in the consolidated statements of operations.

In December 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement, as amended, with Mapi for the development and commercialization of certain additional products, which is subject to finalization pending the execution of a definitive agreement. The Company made an initial upfront payment of $75.0 million which was accounted for as Acquired IPR&D expense in the consolidated statements of operations during 2023.

There have been no other significant changes to our licensing and other partner agreements as disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.
