Total net revenue was $1,604 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of 1%, both as-reported and excluding the impacts of foreign currency (ex-FX), compared with fourth quarter of 2020. Strong sales for Nexplanon, together with growth in biosimilars were offset by declines in Established Brands and supply sales to Merck and other third parties.

Women’s Health increased 6% both as-reported and ex-FX in the fourth quarter 2021 compared with the fourth quarter of 2020 driven primarily by Nexplanon, which increased 37% ex-FX in the fourth quarter 2021 compared with the fourth quarter of 2020. Nexplanon’s growth in the quarter was due to increased demand in the United States, as well as tenders won, which can be variable quarter to quarter. The increase in Women’s Health was partially offset by a decline in sales of Nuvaring® (etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring) which continues to be impacted by generic competition.

Biosimilars revenue grew 15% as-reported and 14% ex-FX in the fourth quarter 2021 compared with fourth quarter 2020, driven by continued growth in the United States for Renflexis® (infliximab-abda) and growth in Canada. The biosimilars portfolio also benefited from the continued uptake of Ontruzant® (trastuzumab-dttb) in the United States, partially offset by a decrease in the European Union, due to increasing competitive pressures, and Latin America, due to the timing of tenders in Brazil.

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. In 2021, declines related to loss of exclusivity (LOE) moderated, and in the fourth quarter the franchise was down 2% on both a nominal and constant currency basis. The decline in Established Brands during the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 was primarily due to a terminated agreement in Korea for Rosuzet™ (ezetimibe, rosuvastatin as calcium), loss of exclusivity for Zetia® (ezetimibe) in Japan in June 2020, the negative impact of Volume Based Procurement (VBP) in China, which was partially offset by growth in the retail channel and brands not impacted by VBP, as well as growth of Atozet™ (ezetimibe and atorvastatin calcium trihydrate) and certain products in the respiratory and non-opioid pain franchises.

Total net revenue was $6,304 million for full year 2021, a decrease of 3% as-reported and 6% ex-FX, compared with 2020. The sales decline reflects decreases across certain markets within the Established Brands business, primarily due to ongoing competition after loss of exclusivity. The overall sales decline was offset by higher sales of Women's Health products, notably Nexplanon, Follistim AQ® (follitropin beta injection) and ganirelix acetate injection due to increasing demand, higher sales of biosimilars resulting from the continued uptake of Renflexis and Ontruzant in the United States, and the favorable impact of foreign exchange.

Women’s Health increased 4% as-reported and 2% ex-FX for full year 2021 compared with 2020, driven by Nexplanon which increased 12% ex-FX in 2021. This was partially offset by a 21% ex-FX decline in Nuvaring which continues to be impacted by generic competition, and by declining sales in the United States of the authorized generic of Nuvaring. Follistim AQ (marketed in most countries outside the United States as Puregon™), a fertility treatment, increased 19% ex-FX in 2021 compared with 2020, primarily due to volume growth, as well as recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and China.

Biosimilars revenue grew 28% as-reported and 25% ex-FX for full year 2021 compared with 2020, driven by continued growth in the United States for Renflexis and growth in Canada. The biosimilars portfolio also benefited from the launch of Hadlima® (adalimumab-bwwd) and Aybintio® (bevacizumab) in certain ex-US markets during the year, and the continued uptake of Ontruzant in the United States, partially offset by revenue declines in the European Union due to increasing competitive pressures.

Revenue for Established Brands was down 10% as-reported and down 13% ex-FX for the full year 2021, primarily driven by the impact of the loss of exclusivity of Zetia in Japan in June 2020. Excluding the impact of the loss of exclusivity, Established Brands revenue was down 8% ex-FX. Additionally, during 2021, the Established Brands portfolio in China was subject to the negative impact of the third round of VBP, the largest so far for Organon. The associated decline was partially offset by growth in brands in the hospital channel not impacted by VBP, the partial recovery of the respiratory market as well as growth in the retail segment which accounts for approximately 50% of the total sales of Established Brands in China.

Gross margin was 62.2% as-reported and 64.7% on an adjusted basis for full year 2021 compared with 67.6% as-reported and 69.1% on an adjusted basis in 2020. The year-over-year decrease reflects costs of establishing Organon as an independent company, including certain costs related to manufacturing agreements between the company and its former parent company, which have lower gross margin percentages compared to third party product sales and purchases.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 37.7% for 2021 compared with 47.8% in 2020, which reflects costs incurred to establish Organon as a stand-alone entity.

Net income from continuing operations for 2021 was $1,351 million, or $5.31 per diluted share, compared with $2,256 million, or $8.90 per diluted share in 2020. Non-GAAP Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $1,662 million, or $6.54 per diluted share, compared with $2,523 million, or $9.95 per diluted share in 2020.

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 17, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2022.

As of December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $737 million, and gross debt was $9,134 million, resulting in net debt of $8,397 million. Total debt as of December 31, 2021 reflects a discretionary fourth quarter prepayment of $100 million on the company’s term loans.

Full year guidance – all guidance provided on a Non-GAAP basis

Organon does not provide GAAP financial measures (other than revenue) on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort, items such as, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, 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.

The company provided financial guidance for full year 2022, which is presented on a non-GAAP basis.

Non-GAAP financial measures

Non-GAAP results, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS, are presented only as a supplement to the company’s financial statements based on GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance understanding of the company’s financial performance, but none of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP, and non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, the company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided within the schedules attached to this release. The company uses non-GAAP 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. The company also believes that investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the appendix of this press release for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures contained herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. 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.
