JERSEY CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Organon (NYSE: OGN) (the “company”), today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

"The first quarter marked a solid start to the year. We continued to expand our Women's Health offerings by acquiring the rights to Marvelon™ (ethinylestradiol, desogestrel) and Mercilon™ (ethinylestradiol, desogestrel) in certain markets, as well as by entering into a licensing agreement to commercialize XaciatoTM (clindamycin phosphate) vaginal gel," said Kevin Ali, Organon's CEO. "Additionally, with LOE risk in the Established Brands business largely behind us, together with continued focus on maximizing the potential of these well-known brands, we are starting to see the stability we knew was possible in that franchise."

Total net revenue was $1,567 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 4% as-reported and an increase of 8% excluding the impacts of foreign currency (ex-FX), compared with the first quarter of 2021.

Women’s Health declined 5% as-reported and declined 3% ex-FX in the first quarter 2022 compared with the first quarter of 2021, driven by Nuvaring® (etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring) which declined 6% ex-FX in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the first quarter of 2021, and the Authorized Generic of Nuvaring (AG), both of which continue to be impacted by generic competition. The decline in the Women's Health portfolio was also due to a 5% ex-FX decline in Nexplanon® (etonogestrel implant) which was driven by distributors' buying patterns in the United States in prior periods, partially offset by strong performance in Latin America and volume growth in Europe. The decline in the company's contraception portfolio was partially offset by double digit growth in the fertility franchise, led by Follistim AQ® (follitropin beta injection), which grew 20% ex-FX, primarily due to higher demand in China and volume growth in the United States.

Biosimilars revenue grew 22% as-reported and grew 25% ex-FX in the first quarter 2022 compared with first quarter 2021. Organon's current portfolio includes certain immunology and oncology treatments. All five of the biosimilars in Organon’s portfolio have launched in certain countries globally, including two biosimilars, Renflexis® (infliximab-abda) and Ontruzant® (trastuzumab-dttb), in the United States. Renflexis grew 21% ex-FX in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to continued demand growth in the United States since its launch in 2017. Ontruzant grew 5% ex-FX driven by continued uptake in the United States since its launch in July 2020, partially offset by competitive pressures in Europe.

Established Brands represents a broad portfolio of well-known medicines, which are generally beyond market exclusivity, including leading brands in cardiovascular, respiratory, dermatology and non-opioid pain management, and for which generic competition varies by market. The portfolio's exposure to loss of exclusivity (LOE) risk peaked in 2021 and no longer represents a significant impediment to stable performance in the Established Brands franchise. Revenue for Established Brands increased 10% as-reported and increased 15% ex-FX in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the first quarter of 2021. The first quarter of 2022 benefited from fluctuations in demand in certain markets, including a temporary supply issue currently impacting several competitors in the Japanese market. This compares to weaker performance in Japan in the first quarter of 2021 due to anticipated government-led price actions in that market and lingering effects from the LOE of Zetia® (ezetimibe). Additionally, the first quarter of last year was negatively impacted by the implementation of the third round of Volume Based Procurement (VBP) initiatives in China, as well as by LOE exposure. There was minimal impact from these factors in the first quarter of 2022. Volume growth in products in China, Europe and the LAMERA region also contributed to the favorable performance of Established Brands in the first quarter of 2022.

First quarter 2022 profitability

Organon was spun-off from Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA on June 2, 2021. Financial results during the pre-spin period were presented on the carve-out basis of accounting and do not purport to reflect what Organon’s financial results would have been had Organon operated as a standalone public company. Therefore, with the exception of Revenue, financial results for the periods ending March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 are not meaningfully comparable.

Gross margin was 64.2% as-reported and 66.5% on an adjusted basis in the first quarter of 2022 compared with 60.8% as-reported and 62.2% on an adjusted basis in the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year improvement in gross margin primarily reflects reduced lower margin supply sales in the first quarter of this year.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 41.3% in the first quarter of 2022 compared with 37.6% in the first quarter of 2021. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin is largely driven by higher Adjusted gross profit in the period, and also reflects lower SG&A costs compared with the prior year, pre-spin period, partially offset by increased research and development costs in the first quarter of 2022 associated with the company's recent acquisitions of clinical stage assets. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the first quarter of 2022 incorporates SG&A costs that are expected to be at the lowest point for full year 2022.

Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2022 was $348 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, compared with $395 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $420 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, compared with $451 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, in 2021.

Capital allocation

Today, Organon’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.28 for each issued and outstanding share of the company's common stock. The dividend is payable on June 16, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 16, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $694 million, and debt was $9,094 million, resulting in net debt of $8,400 million.

Full year guidance

Organon does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company cannot predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, the occurrence of matters creating GAAP tax impacts, and acquisition-related expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Organon’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Beginning in 2022, Organon will no longer exclude expenses for upfront and milestone payments related to collaborations and licensing agreements, or charges related to pre-approval assets obtained in transactions accounted for as asset acquisitions from its non-GAAP results. These changes are being made to align with views expressed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There are no such expenses or charges for in-process research and development for the periods ended March 31, 2022 or March 31, 2021. Relevant prior periods have been recast to reflect these changes and can be found in Tables 7 and 8 of this press release.

Organon's financial guidance does not assume an estimate for future in-process research and development for business development transactions not yet executed.

The company affirmed the full year 2022 financial guidance previously provided on February 17, 2022, which is presented on a non-GAAP basis.

Non-GAAP financial measures

This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Specifically, the company makes use of the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS, which are not recognized terms under GAAP and are presented only as a supplement to the company’s GAAP financial statements. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help to enhance an understanding of the company’s financial performance. However, the presentation of these measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the company’s results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. You should refer to the appendix of this press release for relevant definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures contained herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

In addition, the company’s full-year 2022 guidance measures (other than revenue) are provided on a non-GAAP basis because the company is unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures. Such items include, but are not limited to, acquisition related expenses, restructuring and related expenses, stock-based compensation and other items not reflective of the company's ongoing operations.

The company uses non-GAAP financial measures in its operational and financial decision making, and believes that it is useful to exclude certain items in order to focus on what it regards to be a more meaningful representation of the underlying operating performance of the business.

Forward-Looking Statement

Except for historical information herein, this press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements about management’s expectations about Organon’s future financial performance and prospects. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will” or words of similar meaning. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the company’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, an inability to execute on our business development strategy or realize the benefits of our planned acquisitions; general industry conditions and competition; general economic factors, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and emergence of variant strains; the impact of pharmaceutical industry regulation and health care legislation in the United States and internationally; global trends toward health care cost containment; technological advances; new products and patents attained by competitors; challenges inherent in new product development, including obtaining regulatory approval; the company’s ability to accurately predict its future financial results and performance; manufacturing difficulties or delays; financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk; difficulties developing and sustaining relationships with commercial counterparties; dependence on the effectiveness of the company’s patents and other protections for innovative products; and the exposure to litigation, including patent litigation, and/or regulatory actions.

The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent SEC filings, available at the SEC’s Internet site (www.sec.gov).
