Japan approves Viatris' Wakix for narcolepsy and sleep apnoea-related daytime sleepiness

Viatris has received approval from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for WAKIX (pitolisant) to treat excessive daytime sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and narcolepsy. WAKIX is the first histamine H3 receptor antagonist/inverse agonist approved in Japan for these conditions. The treatment addresses excessive daytime sleepiness, a symptom affecting both conditions that can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life. WAKIX is not classified as a controlled substance and has been designated an orphan drug in Japan for narcolepsy. The approval was supported by positive data from domestic Phase 3 clinical trials in Japan and international studies. WAKIX, discovered by Bioprojet and licensed to Viatris for Japan, has previously received approvals in more than 38 countries for narcolepsy.

Viatris reported strong Q2 2026 results, with total revenues of $3.8 billion, representing 3.5% operational growth year-over-year. The pharmaceutical company posted adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $0.69. CEO Scott Smith highlighted strong commercial performance across the company's global portfolio, particularly in Greater China where investments in established brands drove meaningful growth. North America also saw solid growth from complex generics and transdermal products. The company announced US regulatory approval for Gwyn Lo last week, with a launch planned for later this year. Fast-acting meloxicam continues through FDA review, with launch preparations underway. Based on the strong quarterly performance, Viatris raised its outlook for the remainder of 2026.

Viatris beats Q2 estimates with $3.76B revenue, ups full-year guidance amid China growth and margin pressures

Viatris reported second-quarter revenue of $3.76 billion, up 4.9% year-on-year and beating analyst estimates of $3.68 billion. The medication company's non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.69 exceeded forecasts by 15%. CEO Scott Smith attributed the performance to strong commercial execution in Greater China, where investments in established brands and e-commerce drove double-digit growth. Demand for cardiovascular products and higher-margin generics in North America also contributed. The company raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $2.52 at the midpoint, a 5% increase, whilst lifting revenue guidance slightly to $14.75 billion. However, operating margin fell to 0.2% from 6.5% in the prior-year quarter. Management noted supply chain disruptions and lower-margin products in emerging markets as headwinds, alongside manufacturing challenges and policy changes in China.
