Current report
Worldwide sales of Nexplanon, a single-rod subdermal contraceptive implant, declined 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2025, primarily due to decreased physician demand in the United States following the five-year label approval as reinsertions have been delayed and there has been uncertainty around federal funding. In 2025, we submitted a similar application for a five-year duration period of use to the EU and UK Health Authorities. The application for five-year duration was approved for UK in April, 2026. The EU application is currently under review, with potential approval in 2027, subject to health authority review and approval. Outside of the U.S., sales declined due to the timing of shipments in selective emerging markets, partially offset by increased demand and access in Brazil.

Internal Investigation Relating to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Previous report
On October 27, 2025, we announced an internal investigation conducted by the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) regarding our sales practices for wholesalers as described in the Form 8-K.
Previous report
Overview of Audit Committee Investigation and Findings
Previous report
As disclosed in the Form 8-K and Amendment No. 1 (the “10-K Amendment”), filed on November 10, 2025, to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Original Form 10-K”) and amendments (the “10-Q Amendments” and, together with the 10-K Amendment, the “Amendments”) to our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 (such original filings, the “Original Form 10-Qs” and, together with the Original Form 10-K, the “Original Reports”), after concerns regarding our sales practices for wholesalers for Nexplanon were brought to the Board’s attention, the Audit Committee oversaw an independent, internal investigation into these sales practices. The Audit Committee’s investigation focused on our sales of Nexplanon to wholesalers. The investigation found that we asked two wholesalers in the United States to purchase greater quantities of Nexplanon at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, the third and fourth quarters of 2024 and the first, second and third quarters of 2025 (collectively, the “Relevant Periods”) than they otherwise would have purchased based on wholesaler demand. In certain instances, we waived inventory management fee performance metrics associated with caps on days of inventory to allow wholesalers to be paid the inventory management fees they would have earned but for the Company’s ask to purchase additional inventory. As a result of these purchases, the United States wholesalers significantly decreased or even halted their purchases of Nexplanon during the early weeks of the following quarters until their days of inventory on hand were reduced to levels within the contractual range. Although the incremental amount of Nexplanon sales that occurred during the Relevant Periods represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2024, as applicable (and less than 2% of the Company’s consolidated
Previous report
-27- revenue for the relevant quarterly periods), based on the results of the investigation, we have determined that without these sales practices, our consolidated revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 reported in the Original Reports (and certain of the other Relevant Periods) would have fallen short of our guidance range and/or certain external expectations. The Audit Committee investigation did not find that the use of these sales practices for wholesalers extended to sales other than sales of Nexplanonin the United States during the Relevant Periods, or that these sales practices for wholesalers were otherwise used for any other Company products.
Previous report
In connection with the investigation, the Audit Committee found that (i) our former Chief Executive Officer and leader of our U.S. commercial organization applied inappropriate pressure to achieve sales targets, which resulted in two United States wholesalers being asked to purchase inventory in excess of current customer demand for Nexplanon, (ii) our processes with respect to reporting and documenting the sales practices for wholesalers during the Relevant Periods, including with respect to inventory management fee performance metric waivers, were not followed, (iii) the former Chief Executive Officer did not reasonably ensure that relevant information was appropriately communicated; rather, relevant information was withheld from our independent directors, the Audit Committee, and the independent registered public accounting firm, and (iv) our former Chief Executive Officer and leader of our U.S. commercial organization engaged in inappropriate business conduct that violated our Code of Conduct. There were no investigative findings that other members of our executive leadership team, including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, or any member of our accounting and financial reporting group involved in the preparation of our financial statements, were aware that these sales practices resulted in the United States wholesalers being asked to purchase inventory that exceeded their demand or contractual limits, or that waivers were given so that the United States wholesalers would continue to receive inventory management fees. The Audit Committee’s investigation is complete.
Previous report
Based on the results of the Audit Committee’s investigation, we determined that these sales practices for wholesalers involving Nexplanon in the United States during the Relevant Periods were improper, and that certain of our prior disclosures relating to these sales practices for wholesalers and their effect upon revenues and product demand in our periodic filings were inaccurate or incomplete. As a result, we filed the Amendments.
Previous report
Company Determinations Following the Audit Committee Findings
Previous report
As disclosed in the Amendments, as a result of the investigation and the Audit Committee findings, our management, in consultation with the Audit Committee, has re-assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.
Previous report
As a result as reported in the Amendments, we concluded that there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 and that management’s assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 that were included in Item 9A of the Original Form 10-K should no longer be relied upon, as a result of the material weaknesses disclosed in the 10-K Amendment.
Previous report
A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. For additional information, see Part I, Item 4 of this report.
Previous report
We have determined that there will be no restatement or revision to our previously issued financial statements, including those filed with the Original Reports.
Previous report
Change in Management
Previous report
In connection with the Audit Committee investigation, on October 26, 2025, (i) Kevin Ali resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a member of the Board, (ii) Joseph Morrissey, the then-current Executive Vice President and Head of Manufacturing & Supply of the Company, was appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer (and principal executive officer) of the Company, (iii) Carrie S. Cox, Chair of the Board, was appointed Executive Chair for an interim period, and (iv) Robert Essner, a member of the Board, was appointed to the position of Lead Independent Director. Additionally and in connection with the Audit Committee investigation, on October 26, 2025, the Company terminated the employment of its Head of U.S. Commercial & Government Affairs.

Biogen Inc. (“Biogen”)
Previous report
In March 2025, we acquired from Biogen the regulatory and commercial rights in the United States for Tofidence, a biosimilar to Actemra 2 (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
Previous report
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 impacting our ability to develop new drugs, 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.
Previous report
International reference pricing frameworks, including Most-Favored-Nation (“MFN”) mandates, may further constrain our pricing flexibility and commercial strategy. Voluntary price concessions in certain European markets and increased rebate negotiations across the European Union have introduced additional pressure on net pricing and margins. These developments may influence our commercial strategy, constrain pricing flexibility and delay product launches. 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 and Part II. Item 1A below.
Previous report
Worldwide sales were $1.6 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 1%, compared to 2024. Worldwide sales were positively impacted by approximately 2% or $36 million, due to favorable foreign exchange rates.

•Nexplanon, primarily due to lower demand and decreased funding of government programs in the United States, partially offset by increased demand in Brazil and the timing of tenders, primarily in Mexico. Nexplanon sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included an estimated $17 million of sales resulting from the identified sales practices for wholesalers described in the “Recent Developments” section above, which was offset by an estimated $15 million of sales from such sales practices for wholesalers that were pulled forward into the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in a net impact of $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The impact was estimated using average daily sales, inventory levels at the wholesaler and days on hand at the wholesaler; and

Previous report
Worldwide sales of Nexplanon, a single-rod subdermal contraceptive implant, decreased 8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to lower demand and decreased funding of government programs in the United States, partially offset by increased demand in Brazil and the timing of tenders, primarily in Mexico. Sales increased 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to increased demand in Brazil and the timing of tenders in various international markets offset by lower demand and decreased funding of government programs in the United States. Nexplanon sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included an estimated $17 million of sales resulting from the identified sales practices for wholesalers described in the “Recent Developments” section above, offset by an estimated $15 million of sales from such identified sales practices for wholesalers that were pulled forward into the year ended December 31, 2024, which resulted in a net impact of $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 there was an estimated $5 million of Nexplanon sales resulting from the identified sales practices for wholesalers described in the “Recent Developments” section above. The impact was estimated using average daily sales, inventory levels at the wholesaler and days on hand at the wholesaler. The Company ceased the identified sales practices for wholesalers described in the “Recent Developments” section above, which will adversely impact the fourth quarter 2025 sales. With regard to Nexplanon’sfive-year duration indication, we continue to have collaborative discussions with the FDA. Though we were recently notified that the agency needs more time to complete the review of our submission, the PDUFA three-month extension is not material to our original timeline, which was to launch in late 2025 or early 2026.
Previous report
Worldwide sales of NuvaRing, a vaginal contraceptive product, increased 9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, due to increased demand in the United States, partially offset by ongoing generic competition. Sales declined 17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, due to the loss of a customer contract in 2024 and ongoing generic competition, partially offset by favorable discount rates in the United States associated with a new agreement. We expect a continued decline in NuvaRing sales as a result of generic competition.
Previous report
Worldwide sales of Follistim AQ, a fertility treatment, increased 1% and 20% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, due to increased demand in select international markets. The nine months ended September 30, 2025 was impacted by a one-time buy-in as a result of our exit from our interim operating model agreement in the United States with Merck related to this product during the fourth quarter of 2023, which resulted in lower sales in the first half of 2024.
