Key Terms

non-gaap financial

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

gross margin financial

Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.

ipR&D medical

In-process research and development (IPR&D) is the value a buyer assigns to ongoing drug, product, or technology projects acquired before they are finished. It matters to investors because this intangible asset represents potential future revenue and carries high uncertainty—like purchasing a half-built house that could become a valuable home or require expensive work—and it affects a buyer’s reported assets, future write-downs, and earnings when projects fail or succeed.

fda regulatory

The FDA is the U.S. federal agency that evaluates and approves medical drugs, devices, biological therapies and certain foods; think of it as the gatekeeper that decides whether a medical product is safe and effective for patients. For investors, FDA decisions determine whether a company can sell a product, affect expected revenue and introduce regulatory risk, so approvals, rejections or safety warnings can quickly move a company's valuation and stock price.

First quarter 2026 revenue of $1.460 billion, down 4% as-reported and down 9% excluding the impact of foreign currency.
First quarter 2026 diluted earnings per share of $0.55 and non-GAAP Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.71.

On April 26, 2026, the company announced its pending merger into Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (together with its subsidiaries and/or associated companies, “Sun Pharma”) in an all-cash transaction (the “merger”). The merger is expected to close in early 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval by Organon stockholders.
In light of the pending merger, Organon will not be providing financial guidance or hosting quarterly earnings calls.

JERSEY CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Organon (NYSE: OGN) today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Revenue

in $ millions	Q1 2026		Q1 2025		VPY	VPY ex-FX
Women’s Health	$	389	$	463	(16)%	(19)%

^{Totals may not foot due to rounding and percentages are computed using unrounded amounts.}
^{(1) Other includes manufacturing sales to third parties.}

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 Marvelon^TM(desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol pill) and Mercilon^TM(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).}

^{(1) See Tables 4 and 5 for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.}

Reported gross margin in the first quarter of 2026 was 53.6% compared with 55.6% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP Adjusted gross margin was 59.0% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 61.7% in the first quarter of 2025. Unfavorable pricing and product mix as well as foreign exchange rates were notable drivers in the decline of both reported gross margin and non-GAAP Adjusted gross margin.

Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $146 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared with net income of $87 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, non-GAAP Adjusted net income was $188 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared with $265 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.

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.

Capital Allocation
Today, Organon’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 for each issued and outstanding share of the company's common stock. The dividend is payable on June 11, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 11, 2026.

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are correspondingly 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 EBITDA margin, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS, 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. This press release also provides certain measures that exclude the impact of foreign exchange. We calculate foreign exchange by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior period average currency rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results. 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. Please refer to Table 4 and Table 5 of this press release for additional information, including relevant definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures contained herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures described above to evaluate the company’s performance and to guide operational and financial decision making. Further, the company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude certain items, help to enhance its ability to meaningfully communicate its underlying business performance, financial condition and results of operations.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, 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 relating to the merger, including the anticipated timing of completion thereof. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “proposed,” “will,” “continue,” “expects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “opportunity,” “pursue,” “anticipate,” “be able to,” “intend,” 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 uncertainties as to the timing of the merger; the risk that the merger may not be completed on the anticipated terms in a timely manner or at all; the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the consummation of the merger, including receiving, on a timely basis or otherwise, the minimum vote required by Organon’s stockholders to approve the merger; the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals for Organon will be made; the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the merger may not be satisfied or waived, including the failure to receive any required regulatory approvals from any applicable governmental entities (or any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on such approvals); the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreement, including in circumstances which would require Organon to pay a termination fee; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the merger on Organon’s ability to retain and hire key personnel, its ability to maintain relationships with its customers, suppliers and others with whom it does business, or its operating results and business generally; risks related to diverting management’s attention from Organon’s ongoing business operations; the risk that stockholder litigation in connection with the merger may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact Organon’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the risk that any announcements relating to the merger could have adverse effects on the market price of Organon’s common stock, including if the merger is not consummated; risks that the benefits of the merger are not realized when and as expected; and legislative, regulatory and economic developments.

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 SEC, including the company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by the company on April 27, 2026, and other SEC filings, available at the SEC’s Internet site (www.sec.gov).
