- Background and Nature of Operations
Organon & Co. (“Organon” or the “Company”) is a global health care company with a primary focus on improving the health of women throughout their lives. Organon develops and delivers innovative health solutions through a portfolio of more than 70 medicines and products including prescription therapies and medical devices within its women’s health, and general medicines product portfolios (the “Organon Products”). The Company sells these products through various channels including drug wholesalers and retailers, hospitals, government agencies and managed health care providers such as health maintenance organizations, pharmacy benefit managers and other institutions. The Company operates six manufacturing facilities, which are located in Belgium, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated, trademarks appearing in italics throughout this document are trademarks of, or are used under license by, the Organon group of companies.
The Company’s operations include the following product portfolios:
•Women’s Health: Organon’s women’s health portfolio of products are sold by prescription primarily in two therapeutic areas, contraception, with key brands such as Nexplanon® (etonogestrel implant) (sold as Implanon NXT™ in some countries outside the United States) and NuvaRing® (etonogestrel / ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring), and fertility, with key brands such as Follistim AQ® (follitropin beta injection) (marketed in most countries outside the United States as Puregon™). Nexplanon is a long-acting reversible contraceptive, which is a class of contraceptives that is recognized as one of the most effective types of hormonal contraception available to patients with a low long-term average cost. Other women’s health products include the Jada® System, which is intended to provide control and treatment of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage when conservative management is warranted.
•General Medicines: Organon’s current general medicines portfolio includes leading brands in cardiovascular, respiratory and dermatology as well as non-opioid pain management and biosimilars of immunology and oncology treatments. Organon’s immunology and oncology biosimilar medicines have been launched in several countries. Several brands in general medicines lost exclusivity years ago and have faced generic competition for some time.
- Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Organon have been eliminated. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Organon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The presentation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported, as further described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Segments
During the second quarter 2025, the Company concluded that the Company operates as one operating segment, which is comprised of two reporting units, U.S. and International. Organon is engaged in developing and delivering innovative health solutions through its portfolio of prescription therapies and medical devices within women's health and general medicines. The Company’s chief operating decision‑maker (the “CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources for our one operating segment based on consolidated net income that is reported on the consolidated statements of income. The Company has also evaluated the significant segment expenses incurred by our single segment and regularly provided to the CODM. The significant segment expenses provided to the CODM are consistent with those reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and include cost of sales, selling, general and administrative, research and development, interest expense and income taxes. The CODM uses these metrics to make key operating decisions such as: approving a new product launch strategy, making significant capital expenditures, approving the design of key commercialization strategies, decisions about key personnel, and approving annual operating and capital budgets. Our CODM considers budget-to-actual variances and year over year performance when making decisions supporting capital resource allocation. The Company manages assets on a consolidated basis as reported on the consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard requires entities to disaggregate operating expenses into specific categories to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This guidance should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This ASU will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this guidance on its related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. This ASU will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its income tax disclosures.
- Acquisitions and Licensing Arrangements
Biogen Inc. (“Biogen”)
In March 2025, Organon acquired from Biogen the regulatory and commercial rights in the United States for Tofidence® (tocilizumab-bavi). Tofidence, launched in the U.S. market in May 2024, is indicated in certain patients for the treatment of moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and COVID-19. Under the terms of the agreement with Biogen, Organon paid an upfront payment of $51 million in July 2025, and will be obligated to pay tiered royalty payments based on net sales and tiered annual net sales milestone payments of up to $45 million from a previous in-license arrangement with Bio-Thera Solutions Ltd., the product developer for Tofidence. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized an intangible asset of $51 million, related to the upfront payment to Biogen, which will be amortized over 10 years.
Dermavant Sciences Ltd. (“Dermavant”)
On October 28, 2024, Organon acquired Dermavant, a company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics in immuno-dermatology. Dermavant’s novel product, Vtama® (tapinarof) cream, for the topical treatment of mild, moderate, and severe plaque psoriasis in adults, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in May 2022. In December 2024, the FDA approved Vtama for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, in adults and children two years of age and older. Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common inflammatory dermatological conditions in adults, presenting a higher disease burden for women compared to men. The acquisition expanded Organon’s existing portfolio of general medicines.

Consideration for Dermavant consists of the upfront payment of $175 million and a $75 million milestone payment upon regulatory approval of the atopic dermatitis indication in the U.S., which was paid in the first quarter of 2025, as well as payments of up to $950 million for the achievements of certain commercial milestones, tiered royalties on net sales, and the assumption of liabilities, including certain debt obligations, which were accounted for at fair value on the acquisition date.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The aggregate consideration is calculated as follows:
| (in millions) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Cash consideration paid to Dermavant at closing | $ | 198 |
| Fair value of contingent consideration | 383 | |
| Aggregate purchase price consideration | $ | 581 |
Contingent consideration included as part of the consideration relates to potential future milestone obligations of up to $1.025 billion, including: (i) up to $75 million in cash payable upon regulatory approval, and (ii) up to $950 million for the achievements of certain commercial milestones. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date was determined using the inputs disclosed in Note 11. “Financial Instruments.” The Company reassesses its acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities each quarter for changes in fair value.
As of June 30, 2025, the final allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed has been completed. The Company has not made any adjustments to the allocation of the consideration since initially reported in the fourth quarter of 2024.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company paid $75 million for the regulatory milestone related to the atopic dermatitis indication of Vtama in the U.S. achieved during the fourth quarter of 2024, and paid $35 million related to sales-based milestones that were achieved in the fourth quarter of 2024 related to an assumed licensing agreement.
In April 2025, Health Canada approved Nduvra™ (tapinarof) cream, the first in a novel class of aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonists to be approved in Canada for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults. As a result, in the second quarter of 2025, the Company reclassified the acquired IPR&D intangible asset to product and product rights and will amortize the intangible asset over nine years.
Suzhou Centergene Pharmaceuticals (“Centergene”)
Due to changes in the evolving fertility landscape in China, the Company exited its agreement with Centergene. As a result, the Company recognized $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 in Acquired in-process research and development and milestones.
Eli Lilly (“Lilly”)
As of June 30, 2025, Organon has $240 million accrued in Other noncurrent liabilities related to the probable sales-based milestones. In January 2025, the Company paid $20 million related to the milestones.
Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. (“Henlius”)
In February 2025, Organon paid $10 million related to the milestone for the development of HLX11, an investigational biosimilar of Perjeta2 (pertuzumab), which was recognized as Acquired in-process research and development and milestones in 2024. In March 2025, the European Medicines Agency validated the marketing authorization application for HLX11.
Oss Biotech Site
In July 2025, Organon acquired the Oss Biotech manufacturing facility in the Netherlands from Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, US (“Merck”). This agreement covers Organon’s fertility drug substance production and associated support functions. Organon is required to pay aggregate consideration of $25 million, of which $15 million was paid in July 2025 and the remaining $10 million will be paid in the first half of 2026.

The amount of unrecognized compensation costs as of June 30, 2025 was $172 million, which will be recognized in operating expense ratably over the weighted average vesting period of 2.14 years.
- Restructuring
During the first quarter of 2025, we implemented additional restructuring initiatives to drive an enterprise-wide operating model optimization that resulted in an approximate 6% headcount reduction. The restructuring activities were initiated to streamline and simplify the Company’s operating model to create more efficient processes and a simplified structure. Restructuring costs include separation costs associated with manufacturing-related headcount reductions.
In prior years, Organon implemented restructuring activities related to the optimization of its internal operations by reducing headcount. As a result of these combined activities, the Company’s headcount was reduced by approximately 5% by the end of 2024.
The following is a summary of changes in severance liabilities related to the restructuring activities included within Accrued and other current liabilities:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beginning balance | $ | 14 | $ | 61 |
| Severance & severance related costs | 88 | 31 | ||
| Cash payments and other | (72) | (78) | ||
| Ending Balance | $ | 30 | $ | 14 |
Organon expects the remaining severance payments associated with the restructuring activities to be primarily paid in 2025.

- Taxes on Income
The effective income tax rates were 37.0% and 17.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 29.8% and 16.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These effective income tax rates reflect the beneficial impact of foreign earnings, offset by the impact of U.S. inclusions under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime and a partial valuation allowance recorded against non-deductible U.S. interest expense. There was a favorable impact to the 2025 year-to-date effective tax rate driven by a tax amortization benefit. The favorable impact to the 2024 year-to-date effective tax rate was driven by the favorable closure of the two non-U.S. tax audits and a return to provision adjustment for an entity in Switzerland.
On July 4, 2025, House Resolution 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was signed into law. The OBBBA includes significant corporate tax provisions such as modifications to interest deductibility, the option to fully expense U.S.-based R&D costs, and changes to the taxation of foreign earnings. The Company is evaluating the impacts of the OBBBA on its U.S. cash tax liability and income tax provision.

(1) Recognized at the amortized cost basis. The remaining principal is determined as the initial fair value less principal payments. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining principal of the revenue interest purchase and sale agreement (the “RIPSA”) that the Company assumed in connection with its acquisition of Dermavant is $156 million.
The nature and terms of Organon’s long-term debt are described in detail in Note 12. “Long-Term Debt and Leases” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased and cancelled $242 million of the Company’s 5.125% notes due in 2031 (“the 2031 Notes”) prior to maturity which resulted in a pre-tax gain on extinguishment of debt of $42 million, recorded in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company voluntarily repaid and terminated the funding agreement with NovaQuest Co-Investment Fund VIII, L.P. (“NovaQuest”, and such agreement, the “NovaQuest Funding Agreement”) valued at $103 million. The termination resulted in a pre-tax gain on extinguishment of debt of $4 million, recorded in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 the Company had borrowings and repayments on the revolver of $430 million and $330 million, respectively.
Long-term debt was recorded at the carrying amount. The estimated fair value of long-term debt (including current portion) is as follows:
| ($ in millions) | Fair Value Measurement Level | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long-term debt | 2 | $ | 8,255 | $ | 8,354 |
| Long-term debt (RIPSA & NovaQuest) | 3 | 173 | 268 |
Level 2 was estimated using inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the liability. Level 3 was estimated using unobservable inputs.

The Company made interest payments related to its debt instruments of $234 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average maturity of the Company’s long-term debt as of June 30, 2025 is approximately 5.1 years and the weighted-average interest rate on total borrowings as of June 30, 2025 is 5.0%.
The schedule of principal payments required on long-term debt and short-term borrowings for the next five years, exclusive of $17 million of accrued interest related to the RIPSA, and thereafter are as follows:

The Senior Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants, including a total leverage ratio covenant, which measures the ratio of (i) consolidated total debt to (ii) consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and subject to other adjustments, that must meet certain defined limits which are tested on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Senior Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit, among other things, Organon’s ability to prepay, redeem or repurchase its subordinated and junior lien debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, redeem, or repurchase equity interests, and create or become subject to liens. As of June 30, 2025, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants, and no default or event of default has occurred.
- Financial Instruments
The Company measures fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following financial instruments were recorded at their estimated fair value. The recurring fair value measurement of the assets and liabilities was as follows:
| ($ in millions) | Fair Value Measurement Level | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||

Foreign Currency Risk Management
The Company uses a balance sheet risk management program to partially mitigate the exposure of net monetary assets of its subsidiaries that are denominated in a currency other than a subsidiary’s functional currency from the effects of volatility in foreign exchange. In these instances, Organon principally utilizes forward exchange contracts to partially offset the effects of exchange on exposures denominated in developed country currencies, primarily the euro, Swiss franc, and Japanese yen. For exposures in developing country currencies, the Company enters into forward contracts to partially offset the effects of exchange on exposures when it is deemed economical to do so based on a cost-benefit analysis that considers the magnitude of the exposure, the volatility of the exchange rate and the cost of the hedging instrument.
Forward Contracts
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a given subsidiary are remeasured at spot rates in effect on the balance sheet date with the effects of changes in spot rates reported in Exchange (gains) losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The forward contracts are not designated as hedges and are marked to market through Exchange (gains) losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Accordingly, fair value changes in the forward contracts help mitigate the changes in the value of the remeasured assets and liabilities attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, except to the extent of the spot-forward differences. These differences are not significant due to the short-term nature of the contracts, which typically have average maturities at inception of less than one year. The notional amount of forward contracts was $1.8 billion and $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The cash flows and the related gains and losses from these contracts are reported as operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Net Investment Hedge
Euro-denominated debt instruments
Foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of economic hedges on foreign currency balances. €720 million of the euro-denominated term loan and €1.25 billion of the 2.875% euro-denominated secured notes have been designated and are effective as a hedge of the net investment in euro-denominated subsidiaries. See Note 10 “Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings” for additional details.
Cross-Currency Swaps
The Company entered into cross-currency swaps that mature in 2029. The Company elected to designate the fixed-for-fixed swaps as a hedge of the net investment in euro-denominated subsidiaries balance and the change in the fair value attributable to the changes in the spot rate is recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Taxes. Throughout the term of the swaps, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of 5.8330% based on the Euro notional amount of €922 million and receive a fixed interest rate of 7.3125% based on the U.S. dollar notional amount of $1 billion. The notional amount based on the Euro leg of the cross-currency swaps has been designated and is effective as a hedge of the net investment in euro-denominated subsidiaries. The difference between the interest rate received and paid under the cross-currency swap agreements is recorded in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The cash flows and the related gains and losses from the periodic settlements of the cross-currency swaps are reported as Operating Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Foreign currency gain (loss) due to spot rate fluctuations on the euro-denominated debt instruments and the change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps resulting from hedge designation were included within Cumulative translation adjustment in Other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes:

Contingent Consideration
The fair value measurement of contingent consideration arising from business combinations is determined via probability-weighted cash flows using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which are then discounted to present value. These inputs may include: (i) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows, (ii) the probability of the achievement of the factor(s) on which the contingency is based and (iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. At June 30, 2025, the fair value measurements of acquisition-related contingent consideration were determined using discount rates ranging from 6.26% to 8.05%.
The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration measured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Organon has established accounts receivable factoring agreements with financial institutions in certain countries to sell accounts receivable. Under these agreements, Organon factored $280 million and $186 million of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which reduced outstanding accounts receivable. The cash received from the financial institutions is reported within Operating Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The cost of factoring such accounts receivable were not material for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

- Samsung Collaboration
The Company has an agreement with Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. (“Samsung Bioepis”) to develop and commercialize multiple pre-specified biosimilar candidates, which have since launched and are part of the Company's product portfolio. Under the agreement, Samsung Bioepis is responsible for preclinical and clinical development, process development and manufacturing, clinical trials and registration of product candidates, and the Company has an exclusive license for worldwide commercialization with certain geographic exceptions specified on a product-by-product basis. The Company's access rights to each product under the agreement last for 10 years from each product's launch date on a market-by-market basis. Gross profits are shared equally in all markets with the exception of certain markets in Brazil where gross profits are shared 65% to Samsung Bioepis and 35% to the Company. Since the Company is the principal on sales transactions with third parties, the Company recognizes sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses on a gross basis. Generally, profit sharing adjustments are recorded either to Cost of sales (after commercialization) or Selling, general and administrative expenses (prior to commercialization).
Samsung Bioepis is eligible for additional payments associated with pre-specified clinical and regulatory milestones. As of June 30, 2025, potential future regulatory milestone payments of $25 million remain under the agreement.

- Third-Party Arrangements
On June 2, 2021, Organon and Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”) entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Merck agreed to spin off the Organon Products into Organon, a new, publicly-traded company (the “Separation”).
The Separation was completed pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements with Merck related to the Separation. As of June 30, 2025, only one jurisdiction remains under an Interim Operating Model Agreement.
Under the manufacturing and supply agreements, the Company manufactures certain products for Merck, or its applicable affiliate, and Merck manufactures certain products for the Company, or its applicable affiliate. For details on the rights and responsibilities of the parties under the agreements, refer to Note 17 “Third-Party Arrangements” to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

- Contingencies
Organon is involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature considered normal to its business, including product liability, intellectual property, and commercial litigation, as well as certain additional matters including governmental and environmental matters.
Organon records accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available. Individually significant contingent losses are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable. Legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable.

Given the nature of the litigation discussed in this note and the complexities involved in these matters, Organon is unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss for such matters until Organon knows, among other factors, (i) what claims, if any, will survive dispositive motion practice, (ii) the extent of the claims, including the size of any potential class, particularly when damages are not specified or are indeterminate, (iii) how the discovery process will affect the litigation, (iv) the settlement posture of the other parties to the litigation, and (v) any other factors that may have a material effect on the litigation.
Organon’s decision to obtain insurance coverage is dependent on market conditions, including cost and availability, existing at the time such decisions are made. Organon has evaluated its risks and has determined that the cost of obtaining product liability insurance outweighs the likely benefits of the coverage that is available and, as such, has no insurance for most product liabilities.
Reference is made below to certain litigation in which Merck, but not Organon, is named as a defendant. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Organon is required to indemnify Merck for liabilities relating to, arising from, or resulting from such litigation.
Product Liability Litigation
Fosamax
Merck is a defendant in product liability lawsuits in the United States involving Fosamax® (alendronate sodium) (the “Fosamax Litigation”). As of June 30, 2025, the Fosamax Litigation comprises approximately 974 cases in Federal court, approximately 1,714 cases in New Jersey state court, and approximately 272 cases in California state court. Plaintiffs in the vast majority of these cases generally allege that they sustained femur fractures and/or other bone injuries (“Femur Fractures”) in association with the use of Fosamax.
All federal cases involving allegations of femur fractures have been transferred to a multidistrict litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (“Femur Fracture MDL”). In the only bellwether case tried to date in the Femur Fracture MDL, Glynn v. Merck, the jury returned a verdict in Merck’s favor. In addition, in June 2013, the Femur Fracture MDL court granted Merck’s motion for judgment as a matter of law in the Glynn case and held that the plaintiff’s failure to warn claim was preempted by federal law. The Femur Facture MDL court then dismissed with prejudice approximately 650 cases on these same preemption grounds. Following a series of appeals, including a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2019, the Third Circuit ruled in September 2024 that plaintiffs’ failure-to-warn claims are not preempted by federal law. Consequently, approximately 974 cases are now before the Femur Fracture MDL court for further litigation. On March 10, 2025, Organon filed a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of the Third Circuit decision. On June 16, 2025, the Supreme Court denied the writ. In New Jersey state court, the cases have been consolidated before a single judge in Middlesex County. The parties have conducted fact and expert discovery in numerous cases though no cases have been tried yet and discovery is presently on hold. On July 28, 2025, the Company signed a Master Settlement Agreement with the New Jersey state and federal plaintiffs’ lawyers (“NJ MSA Attorneys”) that in exchange for a confidential, but non-material, sum requires at least 95% of the NJ MSA Attorneys’ eligible clients to release the Company and Merck of any liability related to their filed claims.
In California state court, the cases have been consolidated before a single judge in Orange County, California. In the only bellwether case tried to date in California, Galper v. Merck, the jury returned a verdict in Merck’s favor. The parties have conducted fact and expert discovery in multiple cases in California though, discovery is presently stayed.
Nexplanon/Implanon
Merck is a defendant in lawsuits brought by individuals relating to the use of Nexplanon and Implanon™ (etonogestrel implant). There are two filed product liability actions involving Implanon, both of which are pending in the Northern District of Ohio as well as 56 unfiled cases involving Implanon alleging similar injuries, all of which have been tolled under a written tolling agreement. There is one matter involving Nexplanon pending in state court in California. As of June 30, 2025, Merck had 18 cases pending outside the United States, of which 8 relate to Implanon and 10 relate to Nexplanon.
Securities and Stockholder Derivative Litigation
On May 27, 2025, a stockholder filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain of its officers on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who purchased or otherwise acquired shares between October 31, 2024 and April 30, 2025. A separate stockholder suit was filed on July 8, 2025 on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who purchased shares between November 3, 2022 and April 30, 2025. Plaintiffs in each of these cases allege that defendants made materially false and misleading statements

regarding the Company’s capital allocation strategy, including through the use of quarterly dividends, and its debt reduction strategy. These same allegations also form the basis for two stockholder derivative lawsuits filed against the Company, certain of its officers and directors. The stockholder derivative suits further allege that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties based on the purportedly materially false and misleading statements that were made. Each of the foregoing actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and each seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.
Governmental Proceedings
From time to time, Organon’s subsidiaries may receive inquiries and may be the subject of preliminary investigation activities from competition and/or other governmental authorities, including in markets outside the United States. These authorities may include regulators, administrative authorities, and law enforcement and other similar officials, and these preliminary investigation activities may include site visits, formal or informal requests or demands for documents or materials, inquiries or interviews and similar matters. Certain of these preliminary inquiries or activities may lead to the commencement of formal proceedings. Should those proceedings be determined adversely to Organon, monetary fines and/or remedial undertakings may be required. Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Organon assumed liability for all pending and threatened legal matters related to products transferred from Merck to Organon in connection with the spinoff, including competition investigations resulting from enforcement activity concerning Merck’s conduct involving Organon’s products. Organon could be obligated to indemnify Merck for fines or penalties, or a portion thereof, resulting from such investigations.
Patent Litigation
From time to time, generic manufacturers of pharmaceutical products file Abbreviated New Drug Applications with the FDA seeking to market generic forms of Organon’s products prior to the expiration of relevant patents owned by Organon. To protect its patent rights, Organon may file patent infringement lawsuits against such generic companies. Similar lawsuits defending Organon’s patent rights may exist in other countries. Organon intends to vigorously defend its patents, which it believes are valid, against infringement by companies attempting to market products prior to the expiration of such patents. As with any litigation, there can be no assurance of the outcomes, which, if adverse, could result in significantly shortened periods of exclusivity for these products, potential payment of damages and legal fees, and, with respect to products acquired through acquisitions, potentially significant intangible asset impairment charges.
Nexplanon
On February 24, 2025, Organon received a Paragraph IV Certification Letter notifying the Company that Xiromed Pharma Espana, S.L. (“Xiromed”) filed an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”) to the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Nexplanon in the United States prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,722,037 (The “’037 patent”) and 9,757,552 (the “’552 patent”), in 2027 and 2030, respectively. On April 2, 2025, the Company sued Xiromed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting that the filing of the ANDA infringed the ‘037 patent and ‘552 patent and triggering a stay of regulatory approval of Xiromed’s ANDA for up to 30 months.
Other Matters
In addition to the matters described above, there are various other pending legal proceedings involving Organon, principally product liability and intellectual property lawsuits. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of Organon as of June 30, 2025, either the likelihood of loss is remote or any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to be material to Organon’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows either individually or in the aggregate.

Legal Defense Reserves
Legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable. Some of the significant factors considered in the review of these legal defense reserves are as follows: the actual costs incurred by Organon; the development of Organon’s legal defense strategy and structure in light of the scope of its litigation; the number of cases being brought against Organon; and the costs and outcomes of completed trials and the most current information regarding anticipated timing, progression, and related costs of pre-trial activities and trials in the associated litigation. The legal defense reserve as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $8 million and $7 million, respectively, and represented Organon’s best estimate of the minimum amount of defense costs to be incurred in connection with its outstanding litigation; however, events such as additional trials and other events that could arise in the course of its litigation could affect the ultimate amount of legal defense costs to be incurred by Organon. Organon will continue to monitor its legal defense costs and review the adequacy of the associated reserves and may determine to increase the reserves at any time in the future if, based upon the factors set forth, it believes it would be appropriate to do so.

the impact of higher selling and promotional costs; changes in government laws and regulations in the United States and other jurisdictions, including laws and regulations governing the research, development, approval, clearance, manufacturing, supply, distribution, and/or marketing of our products and related intellectual property, environmental regulations, and the enforcement thereof affecting our business; efficacy, safety or other quality concerns with respect to our marketed products, whether or not scientifically justified, leading to product recalls, withdrawals or declining sales; delays or failures to demonstrate adequate efficacy and safety of our product candidates in pre-clinical and clinical trials, which may prevent or delay the development, approval, clearance, or commercialization of our product candidates; future actions of third-parties, including significant changes in customer relationships or changes in the behavior and spending patterns of purchasers of health care products and services, including delaying medical procedures, rationing prescription medications, reducing the frequency of physician visits and forgoing health care insurance coverage; legal factors, including product liability claims, antitrust litigation and governmental investigations, including tax disputes, environmental claims and patent disputes with branded and generic competitors, any of which could preclude commercialization of products or negatively affect the profitability of existing products; lost market opportunity resulting from delays and uncertainties in clinical trials and the approval or clearance process of the FDA and other regulatory authorities; the failure by us or our third party collaborators and/or their suppliers to fulfill our or their regulatory or quality obligations, which could lead to a delay in regulatory approval or commercial marketing of our products; cyberattacks on, or other failures, accidents, or security breaches of, our or third-party providers’ information technology systems, which could disrupt our operations and those of third parties upon which we rely; increased focus on privacy issues in countries around the world, including the United States, the European Union, and China, and a more difficult legislative and regulatory landscape for privacy and data protection that continues to evolve with the potential to directly affect our business, including recently enacted laws in a majority of states in the United States requiring security breach notification; changes in tax laws including changes related to the taxation of foreign earnings; the impact of any future pandemic, epidemic, or similar public health threat on our business, operations and financial performance; loss of key employees or inability to identify and recruit new employees; changes in accounting pronouncements promulgated by standard-setting or regulatory bodies, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC, that are adverse to us; volatility of commodity prices, fuel, shipping rates that impact the costs and/or ability to supply our products; and other factors discussed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K, including those discussed in the “Business,” “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of those reports.

General
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to assist the reader in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report and with our audited financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating results discussed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of any future period.
We are a global health care company with a primary focus on improving the health of women throughout their lives. We develop and deliver innovative health solutions through a portfolio of prescription therapies and medical devices within our women’s health and general medicines portfolios. We have a portfolio of more than 70 medicines and products across a range of therapeutic areas. We sell these products through various channels including drug wholesalers and retailers, hospitals, government agencies and managed health care providers such as health maintenance organizations, pharmacy benefit managers and other institutions. We operate six manufacturing facilities, which are located in Belgium, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated, trademarks appearing in italics throughout this document are trademarks of, or are used under license by, our group of companies.
Recent Developments
Business Development
Biogen Inc. (“Biogen”)
In March 2025, we acquired from Biogen the regulatory and commercial rights in the United States for Tofidence, a biosimilar to Actemra2 (tocilizumab), for intravenous infusion. Tofidence, launched in the U.S. market in May 2024, is indicated in certain patients for the treatment of moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and COVID-19. Under the terms of the agreement with Biogen, we paid an upfront payment of $51 million in July 2025, and will be obligated to pay tiered royalty payments based on net sales and tiered annual net sales milestone payments of up to $45 million from a previous in-license arrangement with Bio-Thera Solutions Ltd., the product developer for Tofidence. In the first quarter of 2025, we recognized an intangible asset of $51 million, related to the upfront payment to Biogen, which will be amortized over 10 years.
Other Macroeconomic Considerations
Geopolitical developments, global trade issues such as tariffs imposed by or on the United States, shifting U.S. federal and state government policies, policies hindering market access, and worsening macroeconomic conditions could impact our business and results of operations and may stress our working capital resources. While tariffs have not, to date, had a material impact on our business, future tariff actions could potentially have a significant effect on our supply chain and operating costs. Regulatory agency developments, including disruptions at the FDA and other agencies, could increase the time needed for review and approval of new drugs and medical devices, potentially delaying our product launches and impacting our business operations. Additionally, proposed cuts to Medicaid and changes in federal funding policies could reduce access to healthcare services for low-income individuals and impact our ability to develop new drugs. Management will continue to evaluate the potential impacts of the shifting geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape on our business, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. For additional information, please refer to Item 1A — Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Worldwide sales were $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 1%, compared to 2024. Worldwide sales were positively impacted by approximately 1% or $9 million, due to favorable foreign exchange rates.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, sales increases for the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily reflect the performance of:
•Vtama, due to the acquisition of Dermavant in the fourth quarter of 2024 and launch of the atopic dermatitis indication in the United States.
•Hadlima® (adalimumab-bwwd), reflecting sales ramp up since its launch in July 2023 in the United States and a modest increase in international markets.
•Emgality® 2 (galcanezumab-gnlm), due to the acquisition of the distribution and promotion rights from Lilly in 2024 in certain markets outside of the United States.
•Follistim AQ® (follitropin beta injection), due to a one-time buy-in as a result of our exit from our interim operating model (“IOM”) agreement in the United States with Merck during the fourth quarter of 2023, which resulted in lower sales in the first half of 2024, demand increase and favorable discount rates in the United States as well as increased demand in select international markets.
This performance was offset by decreases for the three months ended June 30, 2025 in:
•Atozet, primarily due to LOE in France, Spain and Japan partially offset by increased demand in Asia Pacific and Latin America.
•Singulair® (montelukast sodium), due to the lower demand and negative impact from price reductions in Japan and China.
•Ontruzant® (trastuzumab-dttb), due to unfavorable pricing in Brazil coupled with lower tendered volume from Brazil’s Ministry of Health when compared with 2024 and lower demand in the United States.
Worldwide sales were $3.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 4%, compared to 2024. Worldwide sales during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were negatively impacted by approximately 1%, or $34 million, due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, sales increases for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflect the performance of:
•Vtama, due to the acquisition of Dermavant in the fourth quarter of 2024 and launch of the Atopic Dermatitis indication in the United States.
•Hadlima, reflecting sales ramp up since its launch in July 2023 in the United States and a modest increase in international markets.

•Nexplanon, primarily due to favorable pricing in the United States and increased demand in Brazil and our institutional business in Africa.

•Atozet, primarily due to LOE in France, Spain and Japan partially offset by increased demand in Asia Pacific and Latin America.
•Singulair, due to the lower demand and negative impact from price reductions in Japan and China.

•Ontruzant, due to unfavorable pricing in Brazil coupled with lower tendered volume from Brazil’s Ministry of Health when compared with 2024 and lower demand in the United States.
LOE negatively impacted sales of certain of our products by approximately $60 million and $123 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, based on the decrease in volume period over period. This was primarily driven by the LOE of Atozet in France, Spain and Japan and Rosuzet™ (ezetimibe and rosuvastatin) in Japan. Volume-based procurement (“VBP”) in China had an immaterial impact on our sales during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We expect VBP to continue to impact our general medicines product portfolio for the next several quarters.
Due to changing market conditions, new and evolving U.S. and international tariffs, U.S. tax law changes and regulatory uncertainty that impact our business, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, we have been and will continue to adapt our business and sales strategies to address this changing landscape in order to achieve our business objectives and remain competitive. Such strategies may include implementing or continuing to assess product discount programs and wholesaler inventory levels under the relevant agreements for certain key products.
Our operations include a portfolio of products. Highlights of the sales of our products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are provided below. See Note 5 “Product and Geographic Information” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on sales of our products.

Contraception
Worldwide sales of Nexplanon, a single-rod subdermal contraceptive implant, decreased 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to softer demand in the United States partially offset by favorable pricing in the United States, increased demand in various international markets, including Brazil and our institutional business in Africa. Sales increased 6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to favorable pricing in the United States and increased demand in Brazil and our institutional business in Africa.
Worldwide sales of NuvaRing, a vaginal contraceptive product, declined 4% and 26% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, due to ongoing generic competition. We expect a continued decline in NuvaRing sales as a result of generic competition.
Worldwide sales of Marvelon™1 (desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol pill) and Mercilon™1 (desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol pill), combined oral hormonal daily contraceptive pills not approved or marketed in the United States, but available in certain countries outside the United States, declined 18% and 2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, as a result of the phasing of shipments in Asia Pacific and China.
Fertility
Worldwide sales of Follistim AQ, a fertility treatment, increased 18% and 31% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, due to a one-time buy-in as a result of our exit from our IOM agreement in the United States with Merck during the fourth quarter of 2023, which resulted in lower sales in the first half of 2024, an increase in demand and favorable discount rates in the United States, as well as increased demand in select international markets.

Worldwide sales of Jada, a device intended to provide control and treatment of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage when conservative management is warranted, increased 24% and 22% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively. The sales increase is due to continued uptake in the United States following the Jada launch in early 2022 and favorable pricing in the United States.

Hadlima is currently approved in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Israel.
Ontruzant is a biosimilar to Herceptin2 (trastuzumab) for the treatment of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer and HER2-overexpressing metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, declined 35% and 43%, respectively, due to unfavorable pricing in Brazil coupled with lower tendered volume from Brazil’s Ministry of Health when compared with 2024 and lower demand in the United States. We have commercialization rights to Ontruzant in all countries except in South Korea and China.
Brenzys™ 1 (etanercept) is a biosimilar to Enbrel2 (etanercept) for the treatment of certain inflammatory diseases.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased 8% and 4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024. Cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, includes amortization associated with the inventory fair value adjustment related to the Dermavant acquisition of $10 million and $19 million, respectively, an impairment charge related to a currently marketed women’s health product of $9 million and amortization of intangible assets of $53 million and $103 million, respectively. Cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 includes amortization of intangible assets of $34 million and $67 million, respectively. In addition, the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 benefited from the impacts of favorable foreign exchange rates. Separation costs associated with manufacturing-related headcount reductions have been incurred and are reflected in Restructuring costs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 7% and 10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, due to the impact of unfavorable price, decreased sales, unfavorable product mix and foreign exchange translation.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4% and 1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, due to increased costs associated with the promotion of our recently acquired products and Nexplanon and reserves for legal settlements offset by lower costs related to the prior year implementation of our ERP system.

Table of Contents
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased 18% and 16% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in headcount related expenses and clinical study activity. In July 2025, we announced that the Phase 2 ELENA proof-of-concept study evaluating the investigational candidate OG-6219 in endometriosis-related pain did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint. Based on these results, we will discontinue the OG-6219 clinical development program.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development and Milestones
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $6 million in acquired in-process research and development and milestones, related to the exit of our agreement with Centergene, due to the evolving fertility landscape in China. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, acquired in-process research and development and milestones of $15 million represented the research and development milestones of $5 million for Henlius and $10 million for Cirqle Biomedical (“Cirqle”), which were determined to be probable of being achieved. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, acquired in-process research and development and milestones of $30 million represent the research and development milestones of $20 million for Henlius and $10 million for Cirqle, which were determined to be probable of being achieved.
Restructuring Costs
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred restructuring costs of $2 million and $88 million, respectively, comprised primarily of headcount-related restructuring expense associated with restructuring initiatives that were aimed at driving operational efficiencies in 2025. The restructuring activities combined with our other cost savings initiatives are expected to result in approximately $200 million of annual savings. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 we incurred restructuring costs of $23 million, comprised of headcount-related restructuring expense related to the optimization of our internal operations, primarily within the research and development function.
Interest Expense
Interest expense remained consistent and decreased 3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, and reflects lower interest rates as a result of refinancing a portion of our long-term debt in the prior year and lower reference rates on our variable rate debt, offset by interest related to the debt acquired as part of the Dermavant acquisition and previously unamortized debt issuance fees of approximately $2 million associated with the repurchase and cancellation of $242 million of the 2031 Notes.
Exchange (Gains) Losses
Exchange (gains) losses were positively impacted for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, as a result of the strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in the first half of 2025.
Other (Income) Expense, net
Other (income) expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2024, due to a $46 million pre-tax gain related to the repurchase and cancellation of approximately $242 million of the 2031 Notes and the repayment and termination of the NovaQuest Funding Agreement offset by the accretion of the contingent consideration related to the Dermavant acquisition.
Taxes on Income
The effective income tax rates were 37.0% and 17.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 29.8% and 16.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These effective income tax rates reflect the beneficial impact of foreign earnings, offset by the impact of U.S. inclusions under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime and a partial valuation allowance recorded against non-deductible U.S. interest expense. There was a favorable impact to the 2025 year-to-date effective tax rate driven by a tax amortization benefit. The favorable impact to the 2024 year-to-date effective tax rate was driven by the favorable closure of the two non-U.S. tax audits and a return to provision adjustment for an entity in Switzerland.

On July 4, 2025, House Resolution 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was signed into law. The OBBBA includes significant corporate tax provisions such as modifications to interest deductibility, the option to fully expense U.S.-based R&D costs, and changes to the taxation of foreign earnings. We are evaluating the impacts of the OBBBA on our U.S. cash tax liability and income tax provision.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $599 million. We have historically generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations. Our ability to fund our operations and anticipated capital needs is reliant upon the generation of cash from operations, supplemented as necessary by periodic utilization of our revolving credit facility. Our principal uses of cash in the future will be primarily to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment of borrowings, strategic business development transactions and the payment of dividends. We believe that our financing arrangements, future cash from operations, and access to capital markets will provide adequate resources to fund our future cash flow needs.
Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities and was $1.82 billion and $1.63 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Working capital was impacted by our active cash cycle management, which includes the factoring of receivables and timing of vendor payments; milestone payments; and net repayments of debt.
We have accounts receivable factoring agreements with financial institutions in certain countries. Under these agreements, we have factored $280 million and $186 million of our accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. See Note 11 “Financial Instruments” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Company’s’ accounts receivable factoring and related agreements.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $295 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $408 million for the same period in the prior year due to lower operating income partially offset by our active cash cycle management.
Net cash used in investing activities was $210 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $142 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased milestone payments, partially offset by lower capital spending as a result of the completion of the implementation of our ERP system.
Net cash used in financing activities was $298 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $208 million for the same period in the prior year primarily driven by the repurchase and cancellation of $242 million of the 2031 Notes and the payment and termination of the NovaQuest Funding Agreement partially offset by borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility and decreased dividend payments in the current year.
As part of our post-spinoff plan, we have an ongoing initiative to further optimize our manufacturing and supply network. As part of this initiative, we will continue to separate our supply chain through planned exits from supply agreements from Merck through 2031. This will enable us to redefine our appropriate sourcing strategy, and move to fit-for-purpose supply chains, while focusing on delivering efficiencies. We anticipate we will incur costs associated with this separation, including but not limited to accelerated depreciation, exit premiums and fees, technology transfer costs, stability and qualification batch costs, one-time resourcing costs, regulatory and filing costs, capital investment, and inventory stock bridges.
Our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2025, which require material cash requirements in the future, consist of contractual milestones, purchase obligations and lease obligations. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further details. As of June 30, 2025, total potential payments for contractual milestones are $2.6 billion. Potential amounts to be paid through the remainder of 2025 is approximately $85 million. As of June 30, 2025, other than the update for contractual milestones, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside of the ordinary course of business.
During the second quarter of 2025, we paid cash dividends of $0.02 per share. On August 5, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 for each issued and outstanding share of our common stock. The dividend is payable on September 11, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2025.
We or our affiliates may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such transactions, if any, may be material, and will depend upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the period ending June 30, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that may have occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The information called for by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 15 “Contingencies” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item. 1.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Key products generate a significant amount of our profits and cash flows, and any events that adversely affect the markets for our leading products could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to generate profits and operating cash flow depends largely upon the continued profitability of our key products, such as Nexplanon, Arcoxia, Singulair and the ezetimibe family of products. As a result of our dependence on key products, any event that adversely affects any of these products or the markets for any of these products could adversely affect our sales,

Table of Contents
results of operations or cash flows. These adverse events could include increased costs associated with manufacturing, product shortages, increased generic or over-the-counter availability of our products or competitive products, the discovery of previously unknown side effects, results of post-approval trials, increased competition from the introduction of new, more effective treatments and discontinuation or removal from the market of these products for any reason. In addition, recent adverse market and political events could negatively impact our key products and/or our business, results of operation and financial condition as a whole. These recent adverse events may include, among other things, U.S. and international tariffs or other protectionist trade measures, the recent changes to U.S. tax laws, healthcare and regulatory reforms, including those relating to insurance coverage, and other U.S. and international regulatory changes. We also expect that competition will continue to adversely affect the sales of our key products (including generic competition as a result of LOE in 2024 for Atozet and if we are unable to obtain an additional period of market exclusivity for Nexplanon).
To address such adverse effects and remain competitive, we have and will continue to adapt our business and sales strategies, particularly in connection with our key products. Sales strategies have historically included product discount programs and discussing with wholesalers whether to increase inventory levels within the relevant agreement terms for select key products. In the United States, the current structure of our arrangements provides us with data on inventory levels at our wholesalers, which is closely monitored and reviewed to ensure that inventory levels are appropriate and reasonable in the normal course of business. Additionally, with respect to markets outside of the United States, inventory levels are also reviewed to the extent information is available by market or customer type. However, if demand does not keep pace with the additional inventory purchases, then channel inventory for such products could grow in any particular quarter, which could adversely affect corresponding product revenues and/or rate of returns in subsequent quarters. Moreover, if we choose to eliminate or reduce the use of these strategies or if wholesalers decrease their inventory levels, this could contribute to our quarterly and/or annual revenue failing to meet our expectations.

| About Your Executive Change in Control Severance Program | |
| --- |
The following About Your Executive Change in Control Severance Program section provides you with important information about eligibility and other administrative details.
Overview
This Plan is designed to help you meet financial needs if your employment with the Employer is terminated under certain circumstances within the context of a Change in Control.
Eligibility
Eligibility in General
Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason. You will be eligible to receive Separation Pay and Separation Benefits under this Plan if you are an Eligible Employee whose employment with the Employer terminates in a Qualifying Termination as a result of your termination by the Employer without Cause or as a result of your resignation with Good Reason, in each case during the two-year period following a Change in Control. Such benefits are provided only if you have signed, and, if a revocation period is applicable, not revoked, a Release of Claims.
Release of Claims. The Release of Claims will contain such terms and conditions as determined by the Employer, including but not limited to a general release of claims, known or unknown, that you may have against the Employer and its affiliates, including claims related to your employment and termination of employment.
Eligible Employee. An Eligible Employee under this Plan includes all employees of an Employer who are in Band 700 or higher. However, any employee of an Employer who has an individual employment, separation or similar agreement with the Employer that provides for separation, severance or termination payments or benefits will not be eligible for Separation Plan Benefits under this Plan, but rather the terms of such individual employment, separation or similar agreement will control.
See the Glossary for the full definition of Eligible Employee, Qualifying Termination and Release of Claims.
When Eligibility Ends
Your eligibility to participate in this Plan ends on the earliest of:
| Organon<br><br>Executive Change in Control Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
1
•The date your employment with the Employer terminates for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination within a Change in Control Period;
•The date you are no longer an Eligible Employee; or
•The date this Plan is terminated by the Employer.
ERISA
This Plan is considered a “welfare benefit plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). You are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. ERISA provides that all plan participants are entitled to:
Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits
•Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites and union halls, all documents governing this Plan.
•Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of this Plan and updated summary plan descriptions. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.
Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries
In addition to creating rights for plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.
Enforce Your Rights
If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. See Filing a Claim and Appealing a Claim.
Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan (if applicable) and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.
If you submit a claim for benefits under this Plan within the time period specified for filing a claim and your claim is:
| Organon<br><br>Executive Change in Control Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
2
(i)ignored, or
(ii)denied, and you file an appeal within the applicable time frame and that appeal is then
(a)ignored or
(b)denied,
you may file a lawsuit in a state or Federal court. Please note that before you can file a lawsuit in a state or Federal court, you must follow the Plan’s procedures for filing a claim and an appeal of a denied claim.
If it should happen that the plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file a lawsuit in a Federal court. If you file a lawsuit the court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.
Assistance with Your Questions
If you have any questions about this Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or write to the following address:
Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries Employee Benefits Security Administration U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210
You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration or visiting their website.
Administrative Information
This section contains information on the administration and funding for this Plan. While you may not need this information for day-to-day participation in this Plan, you should read through this section.

No Right to Employment
Nothing in this Plan represents nor is considered an employment contract, and neither the existence of this Plan nor any statements made by or on behalf of the Employer can be construed to create any promise or contractual right to employment or to the benefits of employment. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Employer or you may terminate the employment relationship without notice at any time and for any reason.
Plan Amendment and Termination
The Administrative Committee has the right to amend, modify or terminate this Plan at any time without prior notice to or the consent of any employee; provided, however, that any such action that affects benefits payable hereunder to the Chief Executive Officer shall be approved by the Board and any such action that affects any other executive officer of the Organon & Co. shall be approved by the Talent Committee of the Board.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for two years following a Change in Control, the material terms of this Plan (including terms relating to eligibility, benefit calculation, benefit accrual, cost to participants, subsidies and rates of employee contributions) may not be modified in a manner that is materially adverse to Eligible Employees. During that two-year period, the Employer will pay the legal fees and expenses of any Eligible Employee that prevails on at least one material item of his or her claim for relief in an action regarding an impermissible amendment (other than ordinary claims for benefits).
Any Eligible Employee whose employment continues after amendment of this Plan is governed by the Plan as so amended. Any Eligible Employee whose employment continues after termination of this Plan has no right to Separation Plan Benefits.
Plan Year
The plan year for this Plan ends on December 31 of each year. The financial records of this Plan are kept on a calendar-year basis.

How the Plan Works
Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason
You may receive Separation Pay and Separation Benefits under this Plan if your employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause or you resign for Good Reason during the two-year period following a Change in Control. Such benefits are provided only if you have signed, and, if a revocation period is applicable, not revoked, a Release of Claims. If you meet all these conditions for eligibility, you are considered a Participant in the Plan.
Separation Pay Schedule
Upon a Qualifying Termination during the Change in Control Period, your Separation Pay under this Plan includes:
(i)a lump sum cash severance payment in an amount equal to the Severance Multiplier multiplied by the sum of (a) your Annual Base Salary (the “Base Salary Separation Pay”) and (b) your Annual Target Bonus; and
(ii)a pro-rata Annual Target Bonus for the calendar year in which your termination of employment occurs, calculated based on the AIP-Eligible Months that you were employed during the year.
The Severance Multiplier varies by position and is set forth in the Glossary at the end of this document.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you were employed by Merck & Co., Inc. or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries immediately prior to the legal separation of Organon & Co. and Merck & Co, Inc., the Base Salary Separation Pay component of your Separation Pay under subsection (i)(a) above shall be no less than the amount calculated in Exhibit A (based on your complete years of continuous service with the Employer and Merck & Co., Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries to the extent recognized by Merck & Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries immediately prior to legal separation of Organon & Co. and Merck & Co, Inc.).
For all purposes under this Plan, years of “continuous service” will be calculated from your most recent re-hire date.
Medical and Dental Coverage Payment
Upon a Qualifying Termination during the Change in Control Period, your Separation Benefits under this Plan include a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the number of months in the Benefits Continuation Period multiplied by the monthly cost of the eligible plan(s), as of the
| Organon<br><br>Executive Change in Control Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
7
Separation Date, to obtain continued medical care coverage for yourself and your spouse/partner and eligible dependents under the Employer’s employee group health plan at the level in effect on your Separation Date.
Reduction of Benefits
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, a Participant’s Separation Pay and Separation Benefits, if applicable, will be reduced by:
•Any amount the Plan Administrator reasonably concludes the Participant owes the Employer including, without limitation, unpaid bills under the corporate credit card program and for vacation used, but not earned;
•Any severance or severance-type benefits that the Employer must pay to a Participant under applicable law or collective or labor agreement (other than unemployment compensation under applicable law), including any amounts payable pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) or any other similar federal, state or local statute;
•Where permitted by law, any payments received by the Participant pursuant to state workers compensation laws; and
•Short-term disability benefits where applicable law does not permit Separation Pay to be offset from short term disability benefits (or where the Employer in its sole and absolute discretion determines it is administratively easier for the Employer to reduce Separation Pay by short term disability benefits in lieu of reducing short term disability benefits by Separation Pay).
When and How Benefits Are Paid
Separation Plan Benefits will be paid in a lump sum (less applicable withholdings) as soon as practicable after the Participant’s Separation Date and the expiration of any period during which the Participant may consider, sign and, if a revocation period is applicable, revoke the Release of Claims, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the Participant’s Separation Date. If the period during which the Participant may consider, sign and, if a revocation period is applicable, revoke, the Release of Claims spans two calendar years the Separation Plan Benefits will be paid in the second calendar year.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, Separation Plan Benefits that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, will be administered to comply with and to avoid the excise tax under Section 409A. The Employer will take any and all steps it determines are necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, to adjust benefits under this Plan (including Separation Pay and Separation Benefits) to avoid the excise tax under Section 409A, including but not limited to, reducing or eliminating benefits, changing the time or form of payment of benefits, etc.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a “Specified Employee” (as defined under Section 409A) on his or her Separation Date, to the extent required
| Organon<br><br>Executive Change in Control Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
8
by Section 409A, no payments will be made to him or her until the earlier of (i) his or her death; or (2) the expiration of the six-month period following his or her Separation Date. Instead, amounts that would otherwise have been payable during that six-month period will be accumulated and paid, without interest, as soon as administratively feasible, and in all events within 30 days, following the end of such six-month period.
Taxation of Benefits
Separation Plan Benefits are subject to the withholding of appropriate Federal, state and local taxes. The Employer will withhold taxes as required, but the Employer reserves the right to treat Separation Plan Benefits as supplemental wages subject to flat-rate withholding (not taking into account any exemptions).
In the event that any payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Employer or its affiliates for the benefit of the Participant, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Plan or otherwise, constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such payments or benefits shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the Excise Tax, but only if such reduction would cause the amount to be retained by the Participant to be greater than would be the case if the Participant were required to pay the Excise Tax. Any such reduction shall be made by the Employer in its sole discretion consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
Forfeiture of Benefits
The Employer reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel all Separation Plan Benefits and to seek the return of Separation Plan Benefits in the event a Participant engages in any of the following activities:
•Any activity that constitutes Cause (regardless of whether such activity is known before or after the Eligible Employee’s Separation Date, unless the Claims Reviewer determines in its sole discretion that Cause shall not cause the forfeiture of Separation Plan Benefits in a particular case); or
•Breaching any of the terms of the Release of Claims.
Cessation of Separation Pay and Benefits
Separation Pay and Separation Benefits cease in the event a Participant is rehired by the Employer or one of its affiliates.
Eligibility for Separation Plan Benefits under this Plan shall cease upon the occurrence of the earliest of:
•Termination of the Plan;
| Organon<br><br>Executive Change in Control Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
9
•Inability of the Employer to pay Separation Plan Benefits when due;
•Completion of payment to the Participant of the Separation Plan Benefits for which the Participant is eligible; and
•The Claims Reviewer’s determination, in its sole discretion, of the occurrence by the Eligible Employee of an activity that constitutes Cause, regardless of whether such determination occurs before or after the Eligible Employee’s Separation Date, unless the Claims Reviewer determines in its sole discretion that Cause shall not cause the cessation or forfeiture of Separation Plan Benefits in a particular case.
Return of Separation Plan Benefits
If an event occurs pursuant to which Separation Plan Benefits would cease or otherwise be, forfeited reduced or offset (see Reduction of Benefits, Forfeiture of Benefits and Cessation of Separation Pay and Benefits), then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Participant must repay to the Employer the gross amount of any Separation Plan Benefits previously paid or provided within thirty (30) days following receipt of a demand for such repayment.
Death of Participant
If a Participant dies following his or her Separation Date and a valid Release of Claims was signed by the Participant or is signed by the Participant’s estate then any unpaid Separation Plan Benefits will be paid to the Participant’s estate.
Filing a Claim
If benefits are not automatically paid or provided to you and you feel you are entitled to benefits under this Plan or if you have a dispute regarding a benefit paid or provided, you (or your duly authorized representative) must file a claim with the Claims Reviewer at the following address:
Administrative Committee Organon LLC 30 Hudson Street Jersey City, NJ 07302
Your claim must be received by the Claims Reviewer within 60 days after your employment with an Employer ends; provided, however for claims regarding the cessation of Separation Plan Benefits, the claim must be received by the Claims Reviewer within 60 days after the date Separation Plan Benefits are cancelled.
The claim for benefits will be reviewed by, and a determination made by, the Claims Reviewer. The Claims Reviewer will make a determination regarding the claim within a reasonable time, but not later than 90 days after its receipt by the Claims Reviewer. If the Claims Reviewer determines that an extension of time to process the claim is required, you will receive written
| Organon<br><br>Executive Change in Control Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
10
notice before the end of the initial 90-day period indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension (not to exceed an additional 90 days without your written consent) and the date by which the Claims Reviewer expects to render a decision.
If the Claims Reviewer does not fully agree with your claim, you will receive a written or electronic notice of an “adverse benefit determination” within the 90-day period (as it may be extended as described above). The notice of adverse benefit determination will include:
•The specific reason(s) for the adverse benefit determination;
•The specific provision(s) of this Plan on which the determination was based;
•Any material or information necessary for the benefits to be paid or provided as well as an explanation of why the material or information is necessary;
•An explanation of the appeal procedures set forth below; and
•A statement of your right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following the denial of your appeal.
An “adverse benefit determination” is a denial, reduction, or termination of, or failure to provide, or make payment (in whole or in part) of a benefit.
Appealing An Adverse Benefit Determination
If you receive notice of an adverse benefit determination, you are entitled to apply for a full and fair review of your claim and the adverse benefit determination. To apply for the a review, you or your duly authorized representative must file an appeal within 60 days after your receipt of the Claims Reviewer’s notice of adverse benefit determination. If you fail to file a written appeal within the 60-day period, the Claim Reviewer’s adverse benefit determination is final and conclusive.
The appeal must be made in writing and must be filed with the Plan Administrator within the 60-day period at the following address:
Administrative Committee Organon LLC
30 Hudson Street Jersey City, NJ 07302
The appeal is deemed to be filed when it is received by the Administrative Committee.
You or your duly authorized representative may upon request and free of charge have reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant (the relevance to be determined by the Administrative Committee in accordance with ERISA) to your claim for benefits and may submit in writing any comments, documents, records and other information
| Organon<br><br>Executive Change in Control Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
11
relating to your claim for benefits. The Administrative Committee will re-examine all issues relevant to the original adverse benefit determination taking into account all comments, document, records and other information submitted by you or your duly authorized representative relating to the claim without regard to whether the information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.
The Administrative Committee will provide written or electronic notice to you or your duly authorized representative of its determination on review. The notice will be provided within a reasonable time, but not later than 60 days after the appeal is received by the Administrative Committee. If the Administrative Committee determines that an extension of time to process the claim is required, you will receive written notice before the end of the initial 60-day period indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension (not to exceed an additional 60 days without your written consent), and the date by which the Administrative Committee expects to render a decision.
If your appeal is denied, you will receive a notice of adverse benefit determination on review. The notice will include:
•The specific reason(s) for the adverse determination on review;
•Reference to the specific provisions of the Executive Severance Program on which the benefit determination is based;
•A statement that you are entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits (the relevance to be determined by the Administrative Committee in accordance with ERISA); and

All decisions of the Administrative Committee are final and binding unless determined to be arbitrary and capricious by a court of competent jurisdiction.

| About Your Executive Severance Program | |
| --- |
The following About Your Executive Severance Program section provides you with important information about eligibility and other administrative details.
Overview
This Plan is designed to help you meet financial needs if your employment with the Employer is terminated under certain circumstances.
Eligibility
Eligibility in General
Termination without Cause. You will be eligible to receive Separation Pay, Separation Benefits and Outplacement Benefits under this Plan if you are an Eligible Employee whose employment with the Employer terminates in a Qualifying Termination as a result of your termination by the Employer without Cause (and not as the result of your performance). Such benefits are provided only if you have signed and, if a revocation period is applicable, not revoked, a Release of Claims.
Release of Claims. The Release of Claims will contain such terms and conditions as determined by the Employer, including but not limited to a general release of claims, known or unknown, that you may have against the Employer and its affiliates, including claims related to your employment and termination of employment. Such Release of Claims may also contain, in the Employer’s discretion, other terms and conditions including, without limitation, post-termination cooperation, non-disclosure, confidentiality, non-disparagement, non-solicitation and/or non-competition provisions.
Eligible Employee. An Eligible Employee under this Plan includes employees of an Employer in Band 700 or higher. However, any employee of an Employer who has an individual employment, separation or similar agreement with the Employer that provides for separation, severance or termination payments or benefits will not be eligible for Separation Plan Benefits under this Plan, but rather the terms of such individual employment, separation or similar agreement will control. In addition, should benefits be payable to a participant in the Organon Executive Change in Control Severance Plan, no payments or benefits will be provided under this Plan.
See the Glossary for the full definition of Eligible Employee, Qualifying Termination and Release of Claims.
When Eligibility Ends
Your eligibility to participate in this Plan ends on the earliest of:
| Organon<br><br>Executive Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
1
•The date your employment with the Employer terminates for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination;
•The date you are no longer an Eligible Employee; or
•The date this Plan is terminated by the Employer.
ERISA
This Plan is considered a “welfare benefit plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). You are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. ERISA provides that all plan participants are entitled to:
Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits
•Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites and union halls, all documents governing this Plan.
•Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of this Plan and updated summary plan descriptions. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.
Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries
In addition to creating rights for plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.
Enforce Your Rights
If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. See Filing a Claim and Appealing a Claim.
Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan (if applicable) and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.
If you submit a claim for benefits under this Plan within the time period specified for filing a claim and your claim is:
| Organon<br><br>Executive Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
2
(i)ignored, or
(ii)denied, and you file an appeal within the applicable time frame and that appeal is then
(a)ignored or
(b)denied,
you may file a lawsuit in a state or Federal court. Please note that before you can file a lawsuit in a state or Federal court, you must follow the Plan’s procedures for filing a claim and an appeal of a denied claim.
If it should happen that the plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file a lawsuit in a Federal court. If you file a lawsuit the court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.
Assistance with Your Questions
If you have any questions about this Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or write to the following address:
Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries Employee Benefits Security Administration U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210
You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration or visiting their website.

Plan Funding and Administration
Separation Pay and Outplacement Benefits under this Plan are financed entirely by the Employer, are paid from the Employer’s general assets as due and constitute an unfunded obligation of the Employer. This Plan constitutes solely an unsecured promise by the Employer to pay the benefits to Participants to the extent provided herein. Participant contributions are required for the continued medical and dental benefits which are part of the Separation Benefits. Separation Benefits under this Plan provide Participants with eligibility for continued medical and dental and basic life insurance coverage under the applicable plans of Employer or its subsidiaries. This Plan does not provide the substantive benefits under those plans. For information on the funding and administration of each of those plans, see the summary plan descriptions (and any applicable summaries of material modification) applicable to each individual plan.
This Plan is not intended to be an “employee pension plan” as the term is defined in section 3(2) of ERISA. The Plan is, however, intended to be an employee welfare benefit plan as the term is defined in section 3(1) of ERISA.
This Plan and all rights thereunder are to be governed by and construed in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent not preempted by Federal law, with the laws of the state of Delaware, wherein venue shall lie for any dispute arising hereunder.

No Right to Employment
Nothing in this Plan represents nor is considered an employment contract, and neither the existence of this Plan nor any statements made by or on behalf of the Employer can be construed to create any promise or contractual right to employment or to the benefits of employment. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Employer or you may terminate the employment relationship without notice at any time and for any reason.
Plan Amendment and Termination
The Administrative Committee has the right to amend, modify or terminate this Plan at any time without prior notice to or the consent of any employee; provided, however, that any such action that affects benefits payable hereunder to the Chief Executive Officer shall be approved by the Board and any such action that affects any other executive officer of the Organon & Co. shall be approved by the Talent Committee of the Board.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for two years following a Change in Control, the material terms of this Plan (including terms relating to eligibility, benefit calculation, benefit accrual, cost to participants, subsidies and rates of employee contributions) may not be modified in a manner that is materially adverse to Eligible Employees. During that two-year period, the Employer will pay the legal fees and expenses of any Eligible Employee that prevails on at least one material item of his or her claim for relief in an action regarding an impermissible amendment (other than ordinary claims for benefits).
Any Eligible Employee whose employment continues after amendment of this Plan is governed by the Plan as so amended. Any Eligible Employee whose employment continues after termination of this Plan has no right to Separation Plan Benefits. Nothing in this Plan in any way limits the right of the Employer (or its applicable subsidiary) to amend or terminate any or all of the plans of the Employer (or its applicable subsidiary) that provide Separation Benefits under this Plan.
Plan Year
The plan year for this Plan ends on December 31 of each year. The financial records of this Plan are kept on a calendar-year basis.

How the Plan Works
Termination without Cause
You may receive Separation Pay, Separation Benefits and Outplacement Benefits under this Plan if your employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause (and not as the result of your performance). Such benefits are provided only if you have signed, and, if a revocation period is applicable, not revoked, a Release of Claims. If you meet all these conditions for eligibility, you are considered a Participant in the Plan.
Separation Pay Schedule
Upon a Qualifying Termination, your Separation Pay under this Plan includes:
(i)a lump sum cash severance payment in an amount equal to the sum of (a) your Annual Base Salary (the “Base Salary Separation Pay”) and (b) your Annual Target Bonus; provided, however, if you are the Chief Executive Officer of Organon & Co. such payment shall be equal to the sum of (y) two times (2x) your Annual Base Salary and (z) two times (2x) your Annual Target Bonus; and
(ii)if your employment is terminated after June 30th and before December 31st of the calendar year, a pro-rata Annual Target Bonus for the calendar year in which your termination of employment occurs, calculated based on the AIP-Eligible Months that you were employed during the year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you were employed by Merck & Co., Inc. or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries immediately prior to the legal separation of Organon & Co. and Merck & Co., Inc., the Base Salary Separation Pay component of your Separation Pay under subsection (i)(a) or (i)(y) above shall be no less than the amount calculated in Exhibit A (based on your complete years of continuous service with the Employer and Merck & Co., Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries to the extent recognized by Merck & Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries immediately prior to legal separation of Organon & Co. and Merck & Co., Inc.).
For all purposes under this Plan, years of “continuous service” will be calculated from your most recent re-hire date.
Continuation of Medical and Dental Coverage
A Participant who is covered under any of the Employer’s group employee medical and dental plans as of his or her Separation Date will be provided the opportunity to continue his or her employee and dependent coverage during his or her Benefits Continuation Period (as such coverage may be amended from time to time, in accordance with the terms and conditions of
| Organon<br><br>Executive Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
7
such plans), provided the Participant timely pays the required contribution to continue coverage. The required contribution is calculated at the active employee rates applicable to such coverage, as the same may be changed from time to time, during his or her Benefits Continuation Period.
A Participant who, prior to his or her Separation Date, had elected no employee medical or dental coverage under the applicable employee medical or dental plan will not be permitted to change from no medical and/or dental coverage to coverage as a result of a Qualifying Termination.
The Benefits Continuation Period begins on the first day of the month following the Participant’s Separation Date and shall end on the last day of the month in which the Benefits Continuation Period ends, provided the Participant pays the required contributions for coverage in the time and manner required. If the Participant fails to pay the required contributions for coverage in the time and manner required, or the Participant elects to terminate active medical and/or dental coverage, coverage will end as of the last day of the month for which the contribution was paid and it will not be reinstated during the Benefits Continuation Period. If the Participant has medical and/or dental coverage on the last day of the Benefits Continuation Period, the Participant may be eligible to continue coverage in effect at the end of the Benefits Continuation Period in accordance with COBRA or other similar law by timely electing and paying the full COBRA, or other applicable, premium.
If the Participant elects to end the Benefits Continuation Period earlier than the period set forth in the definition of the Benefits Continuation Period, all employee medical and/or dental benefit coverage that the Participant would otherwise have been eligible to receive during the maximum Benefits Continuation Period will be permanently and irrevocably forfeited.
If, as of his or her Separation Date, a Participant is eligible to participate in the Merck Retiree Medical Plan, then he or she:
•will be eligible to continue active Organon medical and dental benefits during the Benefits Continuation Period as described above; and
•following the completion of the Benefits Continuation Period, will be eligible for retiree medical benefits in accordance with the terms of the Merck Retiree Medical Plan, as it may be amended from time to time.
•If a Participant is not eligible to continue Organon employee medical coverage during the Benefits Continuation Period (i.e., because the Participant had no employee coverage on his/her Separation Date) or the Participant’s medical coverage ends during the Benefits Continuation Period (for any reason, including non-payment), the Participant may not be eligible to enroll in Merck Retiree Medical Plan coverage until the end of the Benefits Continuation Period. Please note that Organon does not determine eligibility for Merck Retiree Medical Plan coverage and the terms of Merck’s plans will control. For additional information about Merck Retiree Medical Plan coverage, please contact Merck directly.
| Organon<br><br>Executive Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |

•If the Participant elects to end the Benefits Continuation Period earlier than the period set forth on Exhibit A, all Organon employee medical and/or dental benefit coverage that the Participant would otherwise have been eligible to receive during the maximum Benefits Continuation Period will be permanently and irrevocably forfeited. A Participant cannot be covered as an Organon employee and as a Merck retiree (even under the retiree no coverage option, if available) during the same period; provided, however, that a Participant may be covered through COBRA at full COBRA rates for Organon employee dental coverage even if during that period the Participant is also covered as a Merck retiree for medical coverage.
•A Chief Executive Officer of Organon & Co. who becomes a Participant will be eligible to continue Basic Life Insurance coverage at no cost to the Participant for a period of eighteen (18) months following the first day of the calendar month following his or her Separation Date, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the applicable life insurance plan as they may be amended from time to time. The Participant is responsible for paying applicable tax on imputed income, if any, for Basic Life Insurance coverage during this eighteen (18) month period.
Continuation of Basic Life Insurance Coverage
A Participant other than the Chief Executive Officer will be eligible to continue Basic Life Insurance coverage at no cost to the Participant during his or her Benefits Continuation Period subject to and in accordance with the terms of the applicable life insurance plan as they may be amended from time to time. The Participant is responsible for paying applicable tax on imputed income, if any, for Basic Life Insurance coverage during his or her Benefits Continuation Period.
Outplacement Benefits
A participant will be eligible for 12 months of outplacement counseling or other outplacement services. Outplacement Benefits are provided through a third party vendor. The Employer reserves the right to change the vendor or the programs at any time.
Reduction of Benefits
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, a Participant’s Separation Pay and Separation Benefits, if applicable, will be reduced by:
•Any amount the Plan Administrator reasonably concludes the Participant owes the Employer including, without limitation, unpaid bills under the corporate credit card program and for vacation used, but not earned;
•Any severance or severance-type benefits that the Employer must pay to a Participant under applicable law or collective or labor agreement (other than unemployment compensation under applicable law), including any amounts payable pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) or any other similar federal, state or local statute;
•Where permitted by law, any payments received by the Participant pursuant to state workers compensation laws; and
| Organon<br><br>Executive Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
9
•Short-term disability benefits where applicable law does not permit Separation Pay to be offset from short term disability benefits (or where the Employer in its sole and absolute discretion determines it is administratively easier for the Employer to reduce Separation Pay by short-term disability benefits in lieu of reducing short term disability benefits by Separation Pay).
When and How Benefits Are Paid
Separation Pay will be paid in a lump sum (less applicable withholdings) as soon as practicable after the Participant’s Separation Date and the expiration of any period during which the Participant may consider, sign and, if a revocation period is applicable, revoke the Release of Claims, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the Participant’s Separation Date. If the period during which the Participant may consider, sign and, if a revocation period is applicable, revoke, the Release of Claims spans two calendar years the Separation Pay will be paid in the second calendar year.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, benefits under this Plan (including Separation Pay and Separation Benefits) that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, will be administered to comply with and to avoid the excise tax under Section 409A. The Employer will take any and all steps it determines are necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, to adjust benefits under this Plan (including Separation Pay and Separation Benefits) to avoid the excise tax under Section 409A, including but not limited to, reducing or eliminating benefits, changing the time or form of payment of benefits, etc.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a “Specified Employee” (as defined under Section 409A) on his or her Separation Date, to the extent required by Section 409A, no payments will be made to him or her until the earlier of (i) his or her death; or (ii) the expiration of the six-month period following his or her Separation Date. Instead, amounts that would otherwise have been payable during that six-month period will be accumulated and paid, without interest, as soon as administratively feasible, and in all events within 30 days, following the end of such six-month period.
Taxation of Benefits
Separation Pay is subject to the withholding of appropriate Federal, state and local taxes. The Employer will withhold taxes as required, but the Employer reserves the right to treat Separation Pay as supplemental wages subject to flat-rate withholding (not taking into account any exemptions).
In the event that any payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Employer or its affiliates for the benefit of the Participant, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Plan or otherwise, constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such payments or benefits shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the Excise Tax, but only if such reduction would cause the amount to be retained by the Participant to be greater than would be the case if the Participant were required to pay the
| Organon<br><br>Executive Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
10
Excise Tax. Any such reduction shall be made by the Employer in its sole discretion consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
Forfeiture of Benefits
The Employer reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel all Separation Plan Benefits and to seek the return of Separation Pay in the event a Participant engages in any activity that the Employer considers detrimental to its interests (or the interests of any of its affiliates) as determined by Organon’s Administrative Committee. Activities that the Employer considers detrimental to its interest (or the interests of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) include, but are not limited to:
•Any activity that constitutes Cause (regardless of whether such activity is known before or after the Eligible Employee’s Separation Date, unless the Claims Reviewer determines in its sole discretion that Cause shall not cause the forfeiture of Separation Plan Benefits in a particular case);
•Breach of any obligations of the Participant’s terms and conditions of employment;
•Making false or misleading statements about the Employer or any of its affiliates or their products, officers or employees to competitors, customers, potential customers or to current employees or former employees of the Employer; and
•Breaching any of the terms of the Release of Claims, including, if included in the Release of Claims, any non-solicitation or non-competition provisions.
Cessation of Separation Pay and Benefits
Separation Pay and Separation Benefits cease in the event a Participant is rehired by the Employer or one of its affiliates.
A Participant shall cease to participate in the Plan, and all Separation Plan Benefits shall cease upon the occurrence of the earliest of:
•Termination of the Plan;
•Inability of the Employer to pay Separation Plan Benefits when due;
•Completion of payment to the Participant of the Separation Plan Benefits for which the Participant is eligible; and
•The Claims Reviewer’s determination, in its sole discretion, of the occurrence by the Eligible Employee of an activity that constitutes Cause, regardless of whether such determination occurs before or after the Eligible Employee’s Separation Date, unless the Claims Reviewer determines in its sole discretion that Cause shall not cause the cessation of Separation Plan Benefits in a particular case.
| Organon<br><br>Executive Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |

11
Return of Separation Pay
If an event occurs pursuant to which Separation Plan Benefits would cease or otherwise be reduced or offset (see Reduction of Benefits, Forfeiture of Benefits and Cessation of Separation Pay and Benefits), then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Participant must repay to the Employer the gross amount of any Separation Plan Benefits previously paid or provided within thirty (30) days following receipt of a demand for such repayment.
Death of Participant
If a Participant dies following his or her Separation Date and a valid Release of Claims was signed by the Participant or is signed by the Participant’s estate then:
•any unpaid Separation Pay will be paid to the Participant’s estate; and
•if the Participant was eligible to continue medical and/or dental coverage during the Benefits Continuation Period on the Participant’s date of death and the Participant’s surviving dependents were covered under the Participant’s medical and dental coverages at the time of the Participant’s death, they may continue such coverage for the balance of the Benefits Continuation Period, provided they continue to remain eligible dependents and they pay the applicable contributions at active employee rates, as they may change from time to time.
•Medical and dental coverage under this section is subject to and in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans of Employer (or its subsidiaries) as they may be amended from time to time.
Filing a Claim
If benefits are not automatically paid or provided to you and you feel you are entitled to benefits under this Plan or if you have a dispute regarding a benefit paid or provided, you (or your duly authorized representative) must file a claim with the Claims Reviewer at the following address:
Administrative Committee Organon LLC
30 Hudson Street Jersey City, NJ 07302
Your claim must be received by the Claims Reviewer within 60 days after your employment with an Employer ends; provided, however for claims regarding the cessation of Separation Plan Benefits, the claim must be received by the Claims Reviewer within 60 days after the date Separation Plan Benefits are cancelled.
The claim for benefits will be reviewed by, and a determination made by, the Claims Reviewer. The Claims Reviewer will make a determination regarding the claim within a reasonable time, but not later than 90 days after its receipt by the Claims Reviewer. If the Claims Reviewer determines that an extension of time to process the claim is required, you will receive written
| Organon<br><br>Executive Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |
|---|
12
notice before the end of the initial 90-day period indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension (not to exceed an additional 90 days without your written consent) and the date by which the Claims Reviewer expects to render a decision.
If the Claims Reviewer does not fully agree with your claim, you will receive a written or electronic notice of an “adverse benefit determination” within the 90-day period (as it may be extended as described above). The notice of adverse benefit determination will include:
•The specific reason(s) for the adverse benefit determination;
•The specific provision(s) of this Plan on which the determination was based;
•Any material or information necessary for the benefits to be paid or provided as well as an explanation of why the material or information is necessary;
•An explanation of the appeal procedures set forth below; and
•A statement of your right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following the denial of your appeal.
An “adverse benefit determination” is a denial, reduction, or termination of, or failure to provide, or make payment (in whole or in part) of a benefit.
With respect to Separation Benefits, the claims and appeals procedure described in this Plan apply only to claims for eligibility to continue participation in medical, dental and life insurance coverage due to a Qualifying Termination under the applicable plans of Employer. Claims and appeals for substantive benefits (e.g., payment of medical/dental or life insurance claims incurred) under those plans must be filed in accordance with the applicable provisions of those plans.
Appealing An Adverse Benefit Determination
If you receive notice of an adverse benefit determination, you are entitled to apply for a full and fair review of your claim and the adverse benefit determination. To apply for the a review, you or your duly authorized representative must file an appeal within 60 days after your receipt of the Claims Reviewer’s notice of adverse benefit determination. If you fail to file a written appeal within the 60-day period, the Claims Reviewer’s adverse benefit determination is final and conclusive.
The appeal must be made in writing and must be filed with the Plan Administrator within the 60-day period at the following address:
Administrative Committee Organon LLC 30 Hudson Street Jersey City, NJ 07302
| Organon<br><br>Executive Severance Program | Effective: April 15, 2025 |

The appeal is deemed to be filed when it is received by the Administrative Committee.
You or your duly authorized representative may upon request and free of charge have reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant (the relevance to be determined by the Administrative Committee in accordance with ERISA) to your claim for benefits and may submit in writing any comments, documents, records and other information relating to your claim for benefits.

•The specific reason(s) for the adverse determination on review;
•Reference to the specific provisions of the Executive Severance Program on which the benefit determination is based;
•A statement that you are entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits (the relevance to be determined by the Administrative Committee in accordance with ERISA); and
•A description of your right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.
All decisions of the Administrative Committee are final and binding unless determined to be arbitrary and capricious by a court of competent jurisdiction.
