For the first quarter of 2026, total revenue was $1.460 billion, down 4% on an as-reported basis and down 9% excluding the impact of foreign currency (ex-FX), compared with the first quarter of 2025.
Women's Health revenue declined 16% as-reported and declined 19% ex-FX in the first quarter of 2026, compared with the first quarter of 2025.
| - | Sales of Nexplanon® (etonogestrel implant) decreased 21% ex-FX in the first quarter compared with the first quarter of 2025. In the U.S., sales of Nexplanon declined 28% primarily due to both decreased physician demand following the five-year label approval which as expected, has delayed reinsertions; and continued uncertainty around federal funding. Outside of the U.S., Nexplanon sales declined 4% ex-FX, due to the timing of shipments in selective emerging markets, partially offset by increased demand and access in Brazil. |
| - | Sales of oral contraceptives MarvelonTM (desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol pill) and MercilonTM (desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol pill) declined 36% ex-FX in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to decreased demand and market contraction in China and the timing of shipments in Asia Pacific. |
| - | Global Fertility revenue was down 9% ex-FX as a result of competition-driven price reductions in the U.S. partially offset by modest market growth in China. |
| - | In January of 2026 the company completed the sale of the Jada® system to Laborie. |

Biosimilars revenue increased 23% as-reported and 21% ex-FX in the first quarter of 2026, compared with the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to the strong performance of Hadlima® (adalimumab-bwwd) associated with stronger demand in the U.S., and increased demand in Puerto Rico. Biosimilars also benefitted from contribution from new assets, Bildyos® (denosumab-nxxp) and Bilprevda® (denosumab-nxxp) which were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in the third quarter of 2025, and Tofidence® (tocilizumab-bavi), which the company acquired in the second quarter of 2025.
Established Brands revenue declined 1% as-reported and declined 7% ex-FX in the first quarter of 2026. Revenue contribution from Emgality®(1) (galcanezumab-gnlm) partially offset a decline in the respiratory portfolio, which was driven by pricing pressure, as well as volume declines related to the adoption of revised medical guidelines that deprioritize the use of montelukast, including Singulair® (montelukast sodium), in various international markets, most recently, in China. Global sales of Dulera® (mometasone furoate and formoterol fumarate dihydrate) also declined in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to pricing pressure and decreased demand in the U.S. VTAMA® (tapinarof) grew modestly in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025.
(1) Organon acquired certain European licensing and distribution rights to Emgality from Eli Lilly and Company ("Eli Lilly") beginning in early 2024. Emgality is a registered trademark of Eli Lilly in the European Union and other countries (used under license).

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.4% in the first quarter of 2026 compared with 32.0% in the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in Adjusted Gross Margin.
