1. Background and Nature of Operations
Organon & Co. ("Organon" or the "Company") is a global health care company with a primary focus on improving the health of women throughout their lives. Organon develops and delivers innovative health solutions through a portfolio of prescription therapies and medical devices within women's health, biosimilars and established brands (the "Organon Products"). Organon has a portfolio of more than 70 medicines and products across a range of therapeutic areas. The Company sells these products through various channels including drug wholesalers and retailers, hospitals, government agencies and managed health care providers such as health maintenance organizations, pharmacy benefit managers and other institutions. The Company operates six manufacturing facilities, which are located in Belgium, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated, trademarks appearing in italics throughout this document are trademarks of, or are used under license by, the Organon group of companies.
The Company's operations include the following product portfolios:
•Women's Health: Organon's women's health portfolio of products are sold by prescription primarily in two therapeutic areas, contraception, with key brands such as Nexplanon®(etonogestrel implant) (sold as Implanon NXT™ in some countries outside the United States) and NuvaRing® (etonogestrel / ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring), and fertility, with key brands such as Follistim AQ®(follitropin beta injection) (marketed in most countries outside the United States as Puregon™). Nexplanonis a long-acting reversible contraceptive, which is a class of contraceptives that is recognized as one of the most effective types of hormonal contraception available to patients with a low long-term average cost. Other women's health products include the Jada® System, which is intended to provide control and treatment of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage when conservative management is warranted.
•Biosimilars: Organon's current biosimilars portfolio spans across immunology and oncology treatments. Organon's oncology biosimilars, Ontruzant®(trastuzumab-dttb) and AybintioTM 1(bevacizumab), have been launched in more than 20 countries, Organon's immunology biosimilars, BrenzysTM 1(etanercept), Renflexis®(infliximab-abda), Hadlima®(adalimumab-bwwd) and Tofidence® (tocilizumab-bavi), a biosimilar to Actemra2(tocilizumab), for intravenous infusion, have been launched in five countries. Five biosimilars in Organon's portfolio have launched in Canada, and four biosimilars,Ontruzant, Renflexis, Hadlimaand Tofidencehave launched in the United States.
•Established Brands: Organon has a portfolio of established brands, which includes leading brands in cardiovascular, respiratory, dermatology and non-opioid pain management. Most brands in the established brands portfolio (with the exception of Emgality® 2(galcanezumab-gnlm), Rayvow™ 2(lasmiditan) and Vtama® (tapinarof)) lost exclusivity years ago and have faced generic competition for some time.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Organon have been eliminated. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Organon's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The presentation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported, as further described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from management's estimates and assumptions.

Segments
The Company's operations include three product portfolios which constitute one operating segment engaged in developing and delivering innovative health solutions through its portfolio of prescription therapies and medical devices within women's health, biosimilars and established brands. The Company's chief operating decision-maker (the "CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources for our one operating segment based on consolidated net income that is reported on the consolidated statements of income. The Company has also evaluated the significant segment expenses incurred by our single segment and regularly provided to the CODM. The significant segment expenses provided to the CODM are consistent with those reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and include cost of sales, selling, general and administrative, research and development, interest expense and income taxes. The CODM uses these metrics to make key operating decisions such as: approving a new product launch strategy, making significant capital expenditures, approving the design of key commercialization strategies, decisions about key personnel, and approving annual operating and capital budgets. Our CODM considers budget-to-actual variances and year over year performance when making decisions supporting capital resource allocation. The Company manages assets on a consolidated basis as reported on the consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard requires entities to disaggregate operating expenses into specific categories to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This guidance should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This ASU will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this guidance on its related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its income tax disclosures.
3. Acquisitions and Licensing Arrangements
Biogen Inc. ("Biogen")
In March 2025, Organon acquired from Biogen the regulatory and commercial rights in the United States for Tofidence. Tofidence, launched in the U.S. market in May 2024, is indicated in certain patients for the treatment of moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and COVID-19. Under the terms of the agreement, Organon will pay an upfront payment of $51 million in July 2025, that is accrued in Accrued and other current liabilities as of March 31, 2025, as well as tiered royalty payments based on net sales and tiered annual net sales milestone payments of up to $45 million from a previous in-license arrangement with Bio-Thera Solutions Ltd., the product developer for Tofidence. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized an intangible asset of $51 million, related to the upfront payment to Biogen, which will be amortized over 10 years.
Dermavant Sciences Ltd. ("Dermavant")
On October 28, 2024, Organon acquired Dermavant, a company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics in immuno-dermatology. Dermavant's novel product, Vtama, for the topical treatment of mild, moderate, and severe plaque psoriasis in adults, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") in May 2022. In December 2024, the FDA approved Vtamafor the treatment of atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, in adults and children two years of age and older. Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common inflammatory dermatological conditions in adults, presenting a higher disease burden for women compared to men. The acquisition allows Organon to further expand its existing portfolio of established brands and biosimilar dermatology treatments.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Consideration for Dermavant consists of the upfront payment of $175 million and a $75 million milestone payment upon regulatory approval, which was paid in the first quarter of 2025, as well as payments of up to $950 million for the achievements of certain commercial milestones, tiered royalties on net sales, and the assumption of liabilities, including certain debt obligations, which were accounted for at fair value on the acquisition date.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The estimated aggregate consideration is calculated as follows:
(in millions)
Cash consideration paid to Dermavant at closing $ 198
Fair value of contingent consideration 383
Aggregate purchase price consideration $ 581
Contingent consideration included as part of the consideration relates to potential future milestone obligations of up to $1.025 billion, including: (i) up to $75 million in cash payable upon regulatory approval, and (ii) up to $950 million for the achievements of certain commercial milestones. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date was estimated by using the inputs disclosed in Note 11. "Financial Instruments." The Company reassesses its acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities each quarter for changes in fair value.
The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized as of March 31, 2025. As a result, Organon recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Finalization of the valuation during the measurement period could result in a change in the amounts recorded for the acquisition date fair value of intangible assets, goodwill, inventories, debts assumed, contingent considerations and income taxes among other items. The completion of the valuation will occur no later than one year from the acquisition date.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company paid $75 million related to the regulatory milestone related to Vtama'satopic dermatitis indication which was achieved during the fourth quarter of 2024 and paid $35 million related to sales-based milestones that were achieved in the fourth quarter of 2024 related to an assumed licensing agreement.
In April 2025, Health Canada approved Nduvra™ (tapinarof cream), 1%, the first in a novel class of aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonists to be approved in Canada for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults.
Suzhou Centergene Pharmaceuticals ("Centergene")

7. Restructuring
During the first quarter of 2025, we implemented additional restructuring initiatives to drive an enterprise-wide operating model optimization that resulted in an approximate 6% headcount reduction. The restructuring activities were initiated to streamline and simplify the Company's operating model to create more efficient processes and a simplified structure. Restructuring costs include separation costs associated with manufacturing-related headcount reductions.
In prior years, Organon implemented restructuring activities related to the optimization of its internal operations by reducing headcount. As a result of these combined activities, the Company's headcount was reduced by approximately 5% by the end of 2024.
The following is a summary of changes in severance liabilities related to the restructuring activities included within Accrued and other current liabilities:

8. Taxes on Income
The effective income tax rates were 13.4% and 14.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. These effective income tax rates reflect the beneficial impact of foreign earnings, offset by the impact of U.S. inclusions under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime and a partial valuation allowance recorded against non-deductible U.S. interest expense. There was a favorable impact to the 2025 year-to-date effective tax rate driven by a tax amortization benefit. The favorable impact to the 2024 year-to-date effective tax rate was driven by the favorable closure of the two non-U.S. tax audits and a return to provision adjustment for an entity in Switzerland.

As of March 31, 2025, the remaining principal of the revenue interest purchase and sale agreement (the "RIPSA") the Company assumed in connection with its acquisition of Dermavant and the NovaQuest Co-Investment Fund VIII, L.P. ("NovaQuest") debt is $156 million and $102 million, respectively.
The nature and terms of Organon's long-term debt are described in detail in Note 12. "Long-Term Debt and Leases" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
There were no outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The Company borrowed $60 million on the Revolving Credit Facility in April 2025.
Long-term debt was recorded at the carrying amount. The estimated fair value of long-term debt (including current portion) is as follows:
($ in millions) Fair Value Measurement Level March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024
Long-term debt

Level 2 was estimated using inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the liability. Level 3 was estimated using unobservable inputs.
The Company made interest payments related to its debt instruments of $41 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average maturity of the Company's long-term debt as of March 31, 2025 is approximately 5.3 years and the weighted-average interest rate on total borrowings as of March 31, 2025 is 5.1%.

The Senior Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants, including a total leverage ratio covenant, which measures the ratio of (i) consolidated total debt to (ii) consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and subject to other adjustments, that must meet certain defined limits which are tested on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Senior Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit, among other things, Organon's ability to prepay, redeem or repurchase its subordinated and junior lien debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, redeem, or repurchase equity interests, and create or become subject to liens. As of March 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants and no default or event of default has occurred.
11. Financial Instruments
The Company measures fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following financial instruments were recorded at their estimated fair value. The recurring fair value measurement of the assets and liabilities was as follows:
($ in millions) Fair Value Measurement Level March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024

Accrued and other current liabilities:
Contingent consideration 3 - 75
Forward contracts 2 14 13
Other noncurrent liabilities:
Contingent consideration 3 330 319
Foreign Currency Risk Management
The Company uses a balance sheet risk management program to partially mitigate the exposure of net monetary assets of its subsidiaries that are denominated in a currency other than a subsidiary's functional currency from the effects of volatility in foreign exchange. In these instances, Organon principally utilizes forward exchange contracts to partially offset the effects of exchange on exposures denominated in developed country currencies, primarily the euro, Swiss franc, and Japanese yen. For exposures in developing country currencies, the Company enters into forward contracts to partially offset the effects of exchange on exposures when it is deemed economical to do so based on a cost-benefit analysis that considers the magnitude of the exposure, the volatility of the exchange rate and the cost of the hedging instrument.

Forward Contracts
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a given subsidiary are remeasured at spot rates in effect on the balance sheet date with the effects of changes in spot rates reported in Exchange (gains) losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.The forward contracts are not designated as hedges and are marked to market throughExchange (gains) losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.Accordingly, fair value changes in the forward contracts help mitigate the changes in the value of the remeasured assets and liabilities attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, except to the extent of the spot-forward differences. These differences are not significant due to the short-term nature of the contracts, which typically have average maturities at inception of less than one year. The notional amount of forward contracts was $1.7 billion and $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The cash flows and the related gains and losses from these contracts are reported as operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Net Investment Hedge
Euro-denominated debt instruments
Foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of economic hedges on foreign currency balances. €722 million of the euro-denominated term loan and €1.25 billion of the 2.875% euro-denominated secured notes have been designated and are effective as a hedge of the net investment in euro-denominated subsidiaries. See Note 10 "Long-Term Debt" for additional details.
Cross-Currency Swaps
The Company entered into cross-currency swaps that mature in 2029. The Company elected to designate the fixed-for-fixed swaps as a hedge of the net investment in euro-denominated subsidiaries balance and the change in the fair value attributable to the changes in the spot rate is recorded inOther Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Taxes.Throughout the term of the swaps, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of 5.8330% based on the Euro notional amount of €922 million and receive a fixed interest rate of 7.3125% based on the U.S. dollar notional amount of $1 billion. The notional amount based on the Euro leg of the cross-currency swaps has been designated and is effective as a hedge of the net investment in euro-denominated subsidiaries. The difference between the interest rate received and paid under the cross-currency swap agreements is recorded in Interest expensein the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The cash flows and the related gains and losses from the periodic settlements of the cross-currency swaps are reported as Operating Activitiesin the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Contingent Consideration
The fair value measurement of contingent consideration arising from business combinations is determined via probability-weighted cash flows using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which are then discounted to present value. These inputs may include: (i) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows, (ii) the probability of the achievement of the factor(s) on which the contingency is based and (iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. At March 31, 2025, the fair value measurements of acquisition-related contingent consideration were determined using discount rates ranging from 6.26% to 8.05%.

13. Samsung Collaboration
The Company has an agreement with Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. ("Samsung Bioepis") to develop and commercialize multiple pre-specified biosimilar candidates, which have since launched and are part of the Company's product portfolio. Under the agreement, Samsung Bioepis is responsible for preclinical and clinical development, process development and manufacturing, clinical trials and registration of product candidates, and the Company has an exclusive license for worldwide commercialization with certain geographic exceptions specified on a product-by-product basis. The Company's access rights to each product under the agreement last for 10 years from each product's launch date on a market-by-market basis. Gross profits are shared equally in all markets with the exception of certain markets in Brazil where gross profits are shared 65% to Samsung Bioepis and 35% to the Company. Since the Company is the principal on sales transactions with third parties, the Company recognizes sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses on a gross basis. Generally, profit sharing adjustments are recorded either to Cost of sales(after commercialization) or Selling, general and administrativeexpenses (prior to commercialization).
Samsung Bioepis is eligible for additional payments associated with pre-specified clinical and regulatory milestones. As of March 31, 2025, potential future regulatory milestone payments of $25 million remain under the agreement.

14. Third-Party Arrangements
On June 2, 2021, Organon and Merck & Co., Inc. ("Merck") entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"). Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Merck agreed to spin off the Organon Products into Organon, a new, publicly-traded company (the "Separation").
The Separation was completed pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements with Merck related to the Separation. As of March 31, 2025, only one jurisdiction remains under an Interim Operating Model Agreement.
Under the manufacturing and supply agreements, the Company manufactures certain products for Merck, or its applicable affiliate, and Merck manufactures certain products for the Company, or its applicable affiliate. For details on the rights and responsibilities of the parties under the agreements, refer to Note 17 "Third-Party Arrangements" to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

15. Contingencies
Organon is involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature considered normal to its business, including product liability, intellectual property, and commercial litigation, as well as certain additional matters including governmental and environmental matters.
Organon records accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available. Individually significant contingent losses are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable. Legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable.
Given the nature of the litigation discussed in this note and the complexities involved in these matters, Organon is unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss for such matters until Organon knows, among other factors, (i) what claims, if any, will survive dispositive motion practice, (ii) the extent of the claims, including the size of any potential class, particularly when damages are not specified or are indeterminate, (iii) how the discovery process will affect the litigation, (iv) the settlement posture of the other parties to the litigation, and (v) any other factors that may have a material effect on the litigation.
Organon's decision to obtain insurance coverage is dependent on market conditions, including cost and availability, existing at the time such decisions are made. Organon has evaluated its risks and has determined that the cost of obtaining product liability insurance outweighs the likely benefits of the coverage that is available and, as such, has no insurance for most product liabilities.
Reference is made below to certain litigation in which Merck, but not Organon, is named as a defendant. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Organon is required to indemnify Merck for liabilities relating to, arising from, or resulting from such litigation.
Product Liability Litigation
Fosamax
Merck is a defendant in product liability lawsuits in the United States involving Fosamax®(alendronate sodium) (the "Fosamax Litigation"). As of March 31, 2025, the Fosamax Litigation comprises approximately 975 cases in Federal court, approximately 1,740 cases in New Jersey state court in Middlesex County, and approximately 275 cases in California state court. Plaintiffs in the vast majority of these cases generally allege that they sustained femur fractures and/or other bone injuries ("Femur Fractures") in association with the use of Fosamax.
All federal cases involving allegations of femur fractures have been transferred to a multidistrict litigation in the U.S District Court for the District of New Jersey ("Femur Fracture MDL"). In the only bellwether case tried to date in the Femur Fracture MDL, Glynn v. Merck, the jury returned a verdict in Merck's favor. In addition, in June 2013, the Femur Fracture MDL court granted Merck's motion for judgment as a matter of law in the Glynncase and held that the plaintiff's failure to warn claim was preempted by federal law. The Femur Facture MDL court then dismissed with prejudice approximately 650 cases on these same preemption grounds. Following a series of appeals, including a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2019, the Third Circuit ruled in September 2024 that plaintiffs' failure-to-warn claims are not preempted by federal law. Consequently, 975 cases are now before the Femur Fracture MDL court for further litigation. On March 10, 2025, Organon filed a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of the Third Circuit decision.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
In New Jersey state court, the parties selected an initial group of cases to be reviewed through fact discovery, and Merck continues to select additional cases to be reviewed. In California state court, the cases have been consolidated before a single judge in Orange County, California, and discovery is presently stayed.
Nexplanon/Implanon
Merck is a defendant in lawsuits brought by individuals relating to the use of Nexplanonand Implanon™ (etonogestrel implant). There are two filed product liability actions involving Implanon, both of which are pending in the Northern District of Ohio as well as 56 unfiled cases involving Implanon alleging similar injuries, all of which have been tolled under a written tolling agreement. As of March 31, 2025, Merck had 19 cases pending outside the United States, of which 10 relate to Implanonand nine relate to Nexplanon.
Governmental Proceedings
From time to time, Organon's subsidiaries may receive inquiries and may be the subject of preliminary investigation activities from competition and/or other governmental authorities, including in markets outside the United States. These authorities may include regulators, administrative authorities, and law enforcement and other similar officials, and these preliminary investigation activities may include site visits, formal or informal requests or demands for documents or materials, inquiries or interviews and similar matters. Certain of these preliminary inquiries or activities may lead to the commencement of formal proceedings. Should those proceedings be determined adversely to Organon, monetary fines and/or remedial undertakings may be required. Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Organon assumed liability for all pending and threatened legal matters related to products transferred from Merck to Organon in connection with the spinoff, including competition investigations resulting from enforcement activity concerning Merck's conduct involving Organon's products. Organon could be obligated to indemnify Merck for fines or penalties, or a portion thereof, resulting from such investigations.
Patent Litigation
From time to time, generic manufacturers of pharmaceutical products file Abbreviated New Drug Applications with the FDA seeking to market generic forms of Organon's products prior to the expiration of relevant patents owned by Organon. To protect its patent rights, Organon may file patent infringement lawsuits against such generic companies. Similar lawsuits defending Organon's patent rights may exist in other countries. Organon intends to vigorously defend its patents, which it believes are valid, against infringement by companies attempting to market products prior to the expiration of such patents. As with any litigation, there can be no assurance of the outcomes, which, if adverse, could result in significantly shortened periods of exclusivity for these products, potential payment of damages and legal fees, and, with respect to products acquired through acquisitions, potentially significant intangible asset impairment charges.
Nexplanon
On February 24, 2025, Organon received a Paragraph IV Certification Letter notifying the Company that Xiromed Pharma Espana, S.L. ("Xiromed") filed an abbreviated new drug application ("ANDA") to the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Nexplanon in the United States prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,722,037 (The "'037 patent") and 9,757,552 (the "'552 patent"), in 2027 and 2030, respectively. On April 2, 2025, the Company sued Xiromed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting that the filing of the ANDA infringed the '037 patent and '552 patent and triggering a stay of regulatory approval of Xiromed's ANDA for up to 30 months.
In June 2017, Microspherix LLC ("Microspherix") sued Organon in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting that the manufacturing, use, sale and importation of Nexplanon infringed several of Microspherix's patents that claim radio-opaque, implantable drug delivery devices. Microspherix claimed damages from September 2014 until the patents expired in May 2021. In December 2023, the parties executed a settlement agreement, and the district court dismissed the case. Organon made its first payment of $35 million in December 2023, its second payment of $25 million in August 2024, and its final payment of $20 million in January 2025.

Other Matters
In addition to the matters described above, there are various other pending legal proceedings involving Organon, principally product liability and intellectual property lawsuits. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of Organon as of March 31, 2025, either the likelihood of loss is remote or any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to be material to Organon's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows either individually or in the aggregate.
Legal Defense Reserves
Legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable. Some of the significant factors considered in the review of these legal defense reserves are as follows: the actual costs incurred by Organon; the development of Organon's legal defense strategy and structure in light of the scope of its litigation; the number of cases being brought against Organon; and the costs and outcomes of completed trials and the most current information regarding anticipated timing, progression, and related costs of pre-trial activities and trials in the associated litigation. The legal defense reserve as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $10 million and $7 million, respectively, and represented Organon's best estimate of the minimum amount of defense costs to be incurred in connection with its outstanding litigation; however, events such as additional trials and other events that could arise in the course of its litigation could affect the ultimate amount of legal defense costs to be incurred by Organon. Organon will continue to monitor its legal defense costs and review the adequacy of the associated reserves and may determine to increase the reserves at any time in the future if, based upon the factors set forth, it believes it would be appropriate to do so.

General
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to assist the reader in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report and with our audited financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating results discussed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of any future period.
We are a global health care company with a primary focus on improving the health of women throughout their lives. We develop and deliver innovative health solutions through a portfolio of prescription therapies and medical devices within women's health, biosimilars and established brands. We have a portfolio of more than 70 medicines and products across a range of therapeutic areas. We sell these products through various channels including drug wholesalers and retailers, hospitals, government agencies and managed health care providers such as health maintenance organizations, pharmacy benefit managers and other institutions. We operate six manufacturing facilities, which are located in Belgium, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated, trademarks appearing in italics throughout this document are trademarks of, or are used under license by, our group of companies.
Recent Developments
Business Development
Biogen Inc. ("Biogen")
In March 2025, we acquired from Biogen the regulatory and commercial rights in the United States for Tofidence® (tocilizumab-bavi), a biosimilar to Actemra2(tocilizumab), for intravenous infusion. Tofidence, launched in the U.S. market in May 2024, is indicated in certain patients for the treatment of moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and COVID-19. Under the terms of the agreement, we will pay an upfront payment of $51 million in July 2025, as well as tiered royalty payments based on net sales and tiered annual net sales milestone payments of up to $45 million from a previous in-license arrangement with Bio-Thera Solutions Ltd., the product developer for Tofidence. In the first quarter of 2025, we recognized an intangible asset of $51 million, related to the upfront payment to Biogen, which will be amortized over 10 years.
Other Macroeconomic Considerations
Geopolitical developments, global trade issues such as tariffs imposed by or on the United States, shifting U.S. federal government policies, policies hindering market access, and worsening macroeconomic conditions could impact our business and results of operations and may stress our working capital resources. While tariffs have not, to date, had a material impact on our business, future tariff actions could potentially have a significant effect on our supply chain and operating costs. Regulatory agency developments, including disruptions at the FDA and other agencies, could increase the time needed for review and approval of new drugs and medical devices, potentially delaying our product launches and impacting our business operations. Additionally, proposed cuts to Medicaid and changes in federal funding policies could reduce access to healthcare services for low-income individuals and impact our ability to develop new drugs. Management will continue to evaluate the potential impacts of the shifting geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape on our business, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. For additional information, please refer to Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Operating Results
Sales Overview
Three Months Ended March 31, % Change % Change Excluding Foreign Exchange
($ in millions) 2025 2024
United States $ 412 $ 371 11 % 11 %
International 1,101 1,251 (12) (9)
Total $ 1,513 $ 1,622 (7) % (4) %
Worldwide sales were $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of 7%, compared to 2024. Worldwide sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were negatively impacted by approximately 3%, or $44 million, due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, sales increases for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily reflect the performance of:
•Nexplanon, due to increased demand and favorable pricing in the United States and the acceleration of our institutional business in Africa in order to meet demand;
•Vtama, reflecting the acquisition of Dermavant in the fourth quarter of 2024;
•Follistim AQ, due to a one-time buy-in as a result of our exit from our interim operating model agreement in the United States with Merck during the fourth quarter of 2023, which resulted in lower sales in the first quarter of 2024, demand increase and favorable discount rates in the United States; and
•Emgality, due to the acquisition of the distribution and promotion rights from Lilly in 2024 in certain markets outside of the United States.
This performance was more than offset by decreases for the three months ended March 31, 2025 in:
•Atozet, primarily due to LOE in France and Spain partially offset by increased demand in South Korea and the Asia Pacific cluster;
•Singulair®(montelukast sodium),due to the lower rate of respiratory infections in China when compared to 2024, lower demand in Japan and the impact of the mandatory annual price reductions in Japan; and
•Ontruzant,driven by the return to normalized levels of the contracted volume in Brazil and lower demand in the United States.
LOE negatively impacted sales of certain of our products by approximately $63 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, based on the decrease in volume period over period. This was primarily driven by the LOE of Atozetin France and Rosuzet™(ezetimibe and rosuvastatin) in Japan. Volume-based procurement ("VBP") in China had an immaterial impact on our sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025. We expect VBP to continue to impact our established brands product portfolio for the next several quarters.
Our operations include a portfolio of products. Highlights of the sales of our products for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are provided below. See Note 5 "Product and Geographic Information" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on sales of our products.

We anticipate a continued significant decline in sales of Atozetin 2025 due to LOE, which occurred late in the third quarter of 2024, in certain markets in Europe.
Combined global sales of Zetia®(ezetimibe) and Vytorin®(ezetimibe / simvastatin), medicines for lowering LDL cholesterol, declined 4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily driven by the decrease in demand and pricing pressure in various international markets, partially offset by increased demand in China.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to increased amortization expense due to the acquisition of intangibles in the prior year, amortization of $9 million associated with the inventory fair value adjustment related to the Dermavant acquisition, partially offset by foreign exchange translation. Cost of sales includes amortization of intangible assets of $50 million and $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Separation costs associated with manufacturing-related headcount reductions have been incurred and are reflected in Restructuring costs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 12% for the year ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2024, due to the impact of unfavorable price and decreased sales due to volume and foreign exchange translation.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2024, due to lower costs related to the prior year implementation of our ERP system offset by increased costs associated with the promotion of our recently acquired products.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to a decrease in clinical study activity.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development and Milestones
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $6 million in acquired in-process research and development and milestones, related to the exit of our current agreement with Centergene, due to the evolving fertility landscape in China. We will continue to assess and evaluate future commercial opportunities with Centergene. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 acquired in-process research and development and milestones of $15 million represents the research and development milestones related to Henlius that were determined to be probable of being achieved.
Restructuring Costs
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $86 million of headcount-related restructuring expense associated with restructuring initiatives that were aimed at driving operational efficiencies in 2025. The restructuring activities combined with other Company cost savings initiatives are expected to result in approximately $200 million of annual savings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 we incurred $23 million of headcount-related restructuring expense related to the optimization of our internal operations, primarily the research and development function.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2024, reflecting lower interest rates as a result of refinancing a portion of our long-term debt in the prior year and lower reference rates on our variable rate debt, partially offset by interest related to the debt acquired as part of the Dermavant acquisition.
Exchange (Gains) Losses
Exchange (gains) losses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2024, driven by gains in foreign currencies.
Other Expense, net
Other expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2024, due to the accretion of the contingent consideration related to the Dermavant acquisition.

Taxes on Income
The effective income tax rate was 13.4% and 14.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These effective income tax rates reflect the beneficial impact of foreign earnings, offset by the impact of U.S. inclusions under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime and a partial valuation allowance recorded against non-deductible U.S. interest expense. There was a favorable impact to the 2025 year-to-date effective tax rate driven by a tax amortization benefit. The favorable impact to the 2024 year-to-date effective tax rate was driven by the favorable closure of the two non-U.S. tax audits and a return to provision adjustment for an entity in Switzerland.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $547 million. We have historically generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations. Our ability to fund our operations and anticipated capital needs is reliant upon the generation of cash from operations, supplemented as necessary by periodic utilization of our revolving credit facility. Our principal uses of cash in the future will be primarily to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment of borrowings, strategic business development transactions and the payment of dividends. We believe that our financing arrangements, future cash from operations, and access to capital markets will provide adequate resources to fund our future cash flow needs.
Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities and was $1.76 billion and $1.63 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Working capital was impacted by our active cash cycle management, which includes the factoring of receivables and timing of vendor payments, as well as an increase in receivables due to the timing of shipments, a lower cash balance due to milestone payments and the timing of annual incentive compensation payments in the first quarter of 2025.
We have accounts receivable factoring agreements with financial institutions in certain countries. Under these agreements, we have factored $249 millionand $186 millionof our accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. See Note 11 "Financial Instruments" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Company's' accounts receivable factoring and related agreements.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $76 million for the same period in the prior year due to lower operating income offset by our active cash cycle management.
Net cash used in investing activities was $172 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $96 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased milestone payments, partially offset by lower capital spending as a result of the completion of the implementation of our ERP system.
Net cash used in financing activities remained consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with the same period in the prior year. The primary activities included routine debt repayments and the payment of dividends.
As part of our post-spinoff plan, we have an ongoing initiative to further optimize our manufacturing and supply network. As part of this initiative, we will continue to separate our supply chain through planned exits from supply agreements from Merck through 2031. This will enable us to redefine our appropriate sourcing strategy, and move to fit-for-purpose supply chains, while focusing on delivering efficiencies. We anticipate we will incur costs associated with this separation, including but not limited to accelerated depreciation, exit premiums and fees, technology transfer costs, stability and qualification batch costs, one-time resourcing costs, regulatory and filing costs, capital investment, and inventory stock bridges.
Our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2025, which require material cash requirements in the future, consist of contractual milestones, purchase obligations and lease obligations. Refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further details. As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside of the ordinary course of business.
During the first quarter of 2025, we paid cash dividends of $0.28 per share. On May 1, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 for each issued and outstanding share of our common stock, which reduces the quarterly dividend from $0.28 per share. We anticipate redirecting the funds from the dividend payment to the repayment and/or repurchase of debt. The dividend is payable on June 12, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2025.
