Organon (NYSE: OGN) (the “company”), today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

"We continue to build on our track record, demonstrating that Organon's existing portfolio can deliver sustainable growth," said Kevin Ali, Organon's CEO. "In addition, we are gaining traction with our newly-acquired assets. We recently made our first ex-U.S. shipment for the Jada® system, which is intended to provide control and treatment of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage. Further, last week we enrolled the first patient in the Phase 2 ELENA study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OG-6219, the  investigational candidate for endometriosis we acquired with Forendo Pharma last year. We are proud to have achieved this milestone as it is Organon's first molecular entity to enter this phase and signifies our dedication to developing novel alternative therapies for patients suffering from endometriosis."

Total net revenues were $1,537 million for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 4% as-reported and an increase of 3% excluding the impact of foreign currency (ex-FX), compared with the third quarter of 2021.

Women’s Health grew 19% as-reported, and 23% ex-FX in the third quarter of 2022 compared with the third quarter of 2021. During the third quarter of 2022, Nexplanon® (etonogestrel implant) grew 34% ex-FX, primarily driven by demand uptake in the United States as well as volume growth outside the United States, particularly in the company's LAMERA (Latin America, Middle East, Russia and Africa) region. Continued demand for the company's fertility offerings also contributed to growth in the quarter; Follistim AQ® (follitropin beta injection), increased 2% ex-FX in the third quarter of 2022, and ganirelix acetate injection increased 52% ex-FX.

Biosimilars revenue declined 7% as-reported and 4% ex-FX in the third quarter 2022, compared with the third quarter of 2021 primarily driven by the timing of a tender for Ontruzant® (trastuzumab-dttb) in Brazil in 2021, as well as competitive pressures in Europe partially offset by the continued uptake of Ontruzant in the United States since its launch in July 2020. The company's four other biosimilars Renflexis® (infliximab-abda), Brenzys™ (etanercept), Hadlima™ (adalimumab-bwwd) and Aybintio™ (bevacizumab) all grew double digits in the quarter on a constant currency basis.

Established Brands represents a broad portfolio of well-known medicines, predominantly marketed and sold outside of the United States, which are generally beyond market exclusivity. The portfolio includes leading brands in cardiovascular, respiratory, dermatology and non-opioid pain management, and generic competition varies by market. The portfolio's exposure to loss of exclusivity risk peaked in 2021 and no longer represents a significant impediment to stable long-term performance in the Established Brands franchise.

Revenues for Established Brands decreased 11% as-reported and decreased 2% ex-FX in the third quarter of 2022, compared with the third quarter of 2021. During the third quarter of 2022, the two largest therapy areas in Established Brands, cardiovascular and respiratory, declined modestly on a constant currency basis. In the cardiovascular portfolio, Atozet grew 9% ex-FX in the third quarter of 2022, compared with the prior year period and in the respiratory portfolio, both Nasonex and Singulair grew approximately 5% ex-FX in the third quarter of 2022 compared with the prior year period. Year to date, revenue for the Established Brands franchise of $3.0 billion declined 1% as-reported and grew 6% on a constant currency basis. Given the strong year-to-date performance, the company expects the Established Brands franchise to deliver modest growth on a constant currency basis for the full year 2022, despite a forecasted impact in the fourth quarter of 2022 from the inclusion of certain of its products in Volume Based Procurement initiatives in China.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin include $10 million in the third quarter of 2022 related to acquired IPR&D and milestones

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2022 was 64.2% as-reported, compared with 61.9% in the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Margin was 67.1% in the third quarter of 2022 compared with 64.9% on an adjusted basis in the third quarter of 2021. The year over year improvement in gross margin is primarily due to favorable product mix and a $24 million charge in 2021 that pertained to unavoidable losses associated with a long-term vendor supply contract conveyed as part of the company's spin-off from Merck & Co., Inc.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 35.5% in the third quarter of 2022 compared with 38.2% in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the third quarter of 2022 is inclusive of $10 million of acquired IPR&D and milestones, compared with $25 million of similar costs in the prior year period. Higher selling and promotional costs as well as R&D spend associated with the company's recent acquisitions of clinical stage assets contributed to the decline in Adjusted EBITDA margin year over year.

Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2022 was $227 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, compared with $323 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $337 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared with $401 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, in 2021.

Beginning in 2022, Organon no longer excludes 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. The change to include all acquired IPR&D and milestone expenses negatively impacted Adjusted diluted EPS by $0.04 in the third quarter of 2022, compared with a negative $0.09 impact in the third quarter of 2021. In connection with this change, acquired IPR&D expenses are now reported as a separate income statement line item. These costs were previously recorded within the R&D expenses line.

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 December 15, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $499 million, and debt was $8.7 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.

The company is updating its 2022 financial guidance ranges previously provided on August 4, 2022. Organon's financial guidance does not assume an estimate for future IPR&D (in-process research & development) and milestone payments for business development transactions not yet executed.

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, Free Cash Flow, 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 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 economic factors, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; general industry conditions and competition; 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).
