For the fourth quarter of 2023, total revenue was $1,598 million, an increase of 8% on an as-reported basis as well as excluding impact of foreign currency (ex-FX), compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.

Women’s Health revenue increased 7% on an as-reported basis, and increased 8% ex-FX in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 driven primarily by strong growth in the company’s fertility products, particularly Follistim AQ® (follitropin beta injection). Follistim grew 63% ex-FX in the fourth quarter due to a one-time buy-in as a result of the exit of the Interim Operating Model (“IOM”) in the United States, increased demand in the U.S. that was largely tied to onboarding a new customer, as well as volume recovery in China tied to fertility patients returning to clinics following abating COVID-19 concerns. The Women’s Health franchise also benefited from strong performance of oral contraceptives Marvelon™ (ethinylestradiol, desogestrel) and Mercilon™ (ethinylestradiol, desogestrel) which was driven in part by the reacquisition of rights in selected territories in Southeast Asia and China during 2022, as well as continued uptake of the Jada® system. Performance was partially offset by a 3% ex-FX decline in Nexplanon® (etonogestrel implant) primarily related to customer buying patterns associated with the company’s decision to forgo its normal Nexplanon list-price increase in 2023, as well as a 12% ex-FX decrease in NuvaRing® (etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring) which continues to be impacted by generic competition.

Biosimilars revenue increased 49% on an as-reported basis and increased 48% ex-FX in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily driven by Ontruzant® (trastuzumab-dttb), which grew 76% ex-FX and benefited from favorable timing of tender phasing in Brazil, and Renflexis® (infliximab-abda), which grew 28% ex-FX primarily due to U.S. strong volume growth. Revenue of Hadlima™ (adalimumab-bwwd) more than doubled in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of continued uptake since its July 2023 launch in the U.S.

Established Brands revenue increased 3% as-reported and 3% ex-FX in the fourth quarter of 2023 despite the impacts of Volume Based Procurement (VBP) initiatives and a challenging operating environment in China. Growth in the quarter was driven by a 13% ex-FX increase in the respiratory portfolio. In the cardiovascular portfolio, continued growth in Atozet™ (ezetimibe and atorvastatin calcium) partially offset a decline in Cozaar®/Hyzaar® (losartan) products which are subject to ongoing generic competition.

Gross margin was 57.3% as-reported and 60.3% on an adjusted basis in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with 60.0% as-reported and 63.1% on an adjusted basis in the fourth quarter of 2022. Unfavorable foreign exchange translation and to a lesser extent, product mix more than offset a favorable year-over-year comparison to the fourth quarter 2022 when the company took a market action on certain injectable steroid products.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.1% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with 25.6% in the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower year-over-year operating expenses and lower loss on foreign exchange translation attributable to the year-over-year comparison of the amount of the company’s Euro-denominated debt covered under a net investment hedge program.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $546 million, or $2.13 per diluted share, compared with $108 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP Adjusted net income was $226 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared with $208 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in 2022. Reported GAAP net income for the fourth quarter includes a net $476 million tax benefit resulting from the termination of a Swiss tax arrangement.

Total revenue was $6.3 billion for full year 2023, an increase of 1% as-reported and an increase of 3% ex-FX, compared with the full year 2022.

Women’s Health revenue increased 2% as-reported and 3% ex-FX for full year 2023 compared with 2022. Strong growth in the company’s fertility portfolio, which was up 9% ex-FX for the full year, a 24% ex-FX increase in oral contraceptives Marvelon/Mercilon and continued uptake of the Jada System, were the strongest revenue contributors to the Women’s Health franchise in 2023. Together these factors more than offset an 11% ex-FX decline in NuvaRing, which continues to be impacted by generic competition. Modest growth of Nexplanon of 1% ex-FX for the full year reflects the impact of the limited participation of a tender in Mexico and customer buying patterns associated with the company’s decision to forgo its normal list price increase for Nexplanon in 2023.

Biosimilars revenue increased 23% as-reported and 24% ex-FX for full year 2023 compared with 2022, driven primarily by continued demand growth in the U.S. and Canada for Renflexis and favorable phasing of tenders in Brazil and increased demand for Ontruzant, partially offset by competitive pressures in Europe.

Revenue for Established Brands declined 1% as-reported and increased 2% ex-FX for the full year 2023 despite VBP initiatives and a challenging operating environment in China as well as supply interruptions of certain of the company’s injectable steroid products stemming from the market action taken earlier in the year. Performance was driven by 2% growth in volume across the portfolio, partially offset by 1% price pressure. The company expects flat performance in the Established Brands franchise for full year 2024 on an ex-FX basis.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin include $8 million in 2023 and $107 million in 2022 related to acquired IPR&D and milestones

Gross margin was 59.8% as-reported and 62.7% on an adjusted basis for full year 2023 compared with 62.8% as-reported and 65.7% on an adjusted basis for full year 2022. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted gross margin reflects higher cost of sales due to foreign exchange translation and product mix, and to a lesser extent, higher employee-related and distribution-related costs.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 31.0% for the full year 2023 compared with 33.8% for the full year 2022. The year-over-year decrease was primarily a result of a lower Adjusted gross margin. Higher selling and promotional costs were mostly offset by lower total research and development spend, which includes in-process research and development (IPR&D).

Net income for 2023 was $1.0 billion, or $3.99 per diluted share, compared with $917 million, or $3.59 per diluted share in 2022. Non-GAAP Adjusted net income was $1.1 billion or $4.14 per diluted share, compared with $1.3 billion, or $5.03 per diluted share in 2022. The year-over-year decline in net income was primarily due to higher interest expense due to increased interest rates, and accelerated amortization of capitalized financing costs associated with voluntary prepayments on the company’s U.S. dollar-denominated term loan.

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 March 14, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 26, 2024.

As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $693 million, and debt was $8.8 billion.

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.

Full year 2024 financial guidance is presented below on a non-GAAP basis. For full year 2024, Organon expects constant currency revenue growth in the low-single-digit range and expects stable to improving Adjusted EBITDA margin, which Organon expects to achieve, in part, through operating expense management.

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 gross margin, Adjusted gross profit, 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. 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. You should refer to Table 4 and Table 5 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 2024 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, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, the occurrence of matters creating GAAP tax impacts 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.

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 about management’s expectations about Organon’s future financial performance and prospects, including full-year 2024 guidance estimates and predictions regarding other financial information and metrics, and franchise and product performance and strategy expectations for future periods. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “foresees” “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 fully execute on our product development and commercialization plans within the United States or internationally; an inability to adapt to the industry-wide trend toward highly discounted channels; changes in tax laws or other tax guidance that could adversely affect our cash tax liability, effective tax rates, and results of operations and lead to greater audit scrutiny; an inability to execute on our business development strategy or realize the benefits of our planned acquisitions; efficacy, safety, or other quality concerns with respect to marketed products, including market actions such as recalls, withdrawals, or declining sales; political and social pressures, or regulatory developments, that adversely impact demand for, availability of, or patient access to contraception or fertility products; general economic factors, including recessionary pressures, interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; general industry conditions and competition; 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; the impact of higher selling and promotional costs; any failure by Organon to obtain an additional period of market exclusivity in the United States for Nexplanon subsequent to the expiration of certain key patents in 2027; 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 most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent SEC filings, available at the SEC’s Internet site (www.sec.gov).
