Reuters, October 8 – Pharmaceutical company Viatris (VTRS.O) will acquire Pacira BioSciences (PCRX.O) in an all-cash deal worth $1.65 billions, adding two non-opioid painkillers to its portfolio, the companies said on Thursday. Viatris will acquire Pacira at $36.50 per share, representing a 44.8% premium to the latest closing price. Pacira’s stock rose by 44% in premarket trading. Pacira’s non-opioid painkillers, Exparel and Zilretta, generated sales in 2025 of $575.1 millions and $116.6 millions respectively. Exparel is used to relieve acute pain after surgery, and Zilretta is used to treat pain associated with knee osteoarthritis. Viatris stated it expects to expand the reach of these products in selected target markets. Viatris CEO Scott Smith stated, “the addition of these medications creates a synergy with our rapid-acting meloxicam market opportunities, positioning us as a leader in non-opioid pain management.” The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to make a decision by December 27 on the approval application for rapid-acting meloxicam for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain. Viatris plans to finance the acquisition primarily with idle cash, and the remainder through short-term borrowing. The company noted the deal will have minimal impact on its total leverage ratio. In August, Viatris (link) raised its annual adjusted profit forecast, counting on strong brand drug sales and growth in the Chinese market. The pharmaceutical company had previously faced (link) production setbacks in its Indian operations, including a fire at its Nashik plant in western India and increased competition in the generic drug market, raising concerns about the resilience and growth of its core business. The company stated the transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026 and will immediately enhance Viatris’s financial guidance metrics.
