Item 1. Business

Overview

Organon & Co. (“Organon,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a global healthcare 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 women’s health, biosimilars and established brands. 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, the Organon group of companies.

Our operations include the following product portfolios:

Women’s Health: Our 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, and is in 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. Our 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, and a license from Daré Biosciences for the global commercial rights to Xaciato® (clindamycin phosphate vaginal gel, 2%), an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (“BV”) in females 12 years of age and older.

Biosimilars: Our current biosimilars portfolio spans across immunology and oncology treatments. Our oncology biosimilars; Ontruzant® (trastuzumab-dttb) and Aybintio TM 1 (bevacizumab), have been launched in more than 20 countries and our immunology biosimilars; Brenzys TM 1 (etanercept), Renflexis® (infliximab-abda) and Hadlima® (adalimumab-bwwd), have been launched in five countries. All five biosimilars in our portfolio have launched in Canada, and three biosimilars; Ontruzant, Renflexis and Hadlima have launched in the United States.

Established Brands: We have a portfolio of established brands, which includes leading brands in cardiovascular, respiratory, dermatology and non-opioid pain management. Most brands in our established brands portfolio (with the exception of Emgality® 2 (galcanezumab-gnlm), Rayvow™2 (lasmiditan) and Vtama® (tapinarof)) lost exclusivity years ago and have faced generic competition for some time.

Led by the women’s health portfolio, coupled with an expanding biosimilars business and a stable franchise of established brands medicines, our products produce sufficient cash flows to support investments in innovation and future growth opportunities in women’s health. In addition, we are pursuing opportunities to collaborate with biopharmaceutical innovators looking to commercialize their products by leveraging our scale and presence.

In 2024, we expanded our product portfolios through the following acquisitions and licenses:

In October 2024, we acquired Dermavant Sciences Ltd. (“Dermavant”), a company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics in immuno-dermatology. Dermavant’s novel product, Vtama 1%, for the topical treatment of mild, moderate, and severe plaque psoriasis in adults, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in May 2022. In December 2024, the FDA approved Vtama for an additional indication of topical 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.

In September 2024, we entered into license and supply agreements with Suzhou Centergene Pharmaceuticals (“Centergene”) acquiring the exclusive commercialization rights to Centergene’s investigational asset, SJ02, in China. SJ02 is a long-acting recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone carboxyl-terminal peptide fusion protein (FSH-CTP) designed for controlled ovarian stimulation (“COS”) in combination with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (“GnRH”) antagonist. It is used to facilitate the development of multiple follicles in women undergoing assisted

-3- reproductive technology (“ART”) programs.

In August of 2024, we expanded our agreement with Eli Lilly (“Lilly”) to become the sole distributor and promoter for Emgality in the following additional markets: Canada, Colombia, Israel, South Korea, Kuwait, Mexico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. Our original agreement with Lilly provided us with sole distribution rights only in Europe. Emgality, a humanized monoclonal antibody calcitonin gene-related peptide (“CGRP”) antagonist, is indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults, and in some markets, the indication specifies prophylaxis for those with at least four migraine days per month. Emgality is also indicated in some markets for the treatment of episodic cluster headache in adults.

Products

We are engaged in both developing and delivering innovative health solutions through a diverse portfolio of products. These products serve patient needs across multiple therapeutic areas and product categories of women’s health, biosimilars and established brands. These portfolios are further described below, together with select details for products within each group. Our sales for each of our product groups are as follows:

Women’s Health Portfolio

In 2024, our women’s health portfolio accounted for $1.8 billion, or approximately 28% of our total revenues, with $846 million, or approximately 48%, generated outside the United States. Our women’s health products are sold by prescription primarily in two therapeutic areas: contraception (which includes key brands such as Nexplanon and NuvaRing), and fertility (which includes key brands such as Follistim AQand Elonva TM 1(corifolitropina alfa)). Additionally, we continue to assess commercialization opportunities in conditions that are either unique to women, disproportionally affect women, or impact women differently than men. Our women’s health products are sold in over 90 markets worldwide, including the United States, China, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Mexico as well as many other countries in the European Union (the “EU”), South America, Asia, and Africa.

Contraception

Our contraception portfolio currently consists of the following products, which work to prevent pregnancy primarily by suppressing ovulation:

Nexplanon is a prescription medication for the prevention of pregnancy in women. It consists of a small, thin and flexible arm implant that is placed discreetly under the skin of the inner, upper non-dominant arm by a health care provider. It is a progestin-only, radiopaque, removable implant, containing 68 mg of etonogestrel that is pre-loaded into an applicator. It is typically prescribed to women who are not looking to become pregnant in the near future and do not want to take a daily contraceptive. The product is currently indicated for a period of up to three years of use (at which point the insertion must be removed). It is also reversible, meaning that a woman can have it removed at any time after insertion. An application for a five-year duration period of use was submitted to the FDA in December 2024 and is currently undergoing regulatory review. Subject to such review, we currently expect that any US approval could occur as early as 2025. If approved, we could receive an additional three years of market exclusivity for Nexplanon in the United States. We currently plan to make a similar application for review by EU regulators in 2025. Subject to such review, we currently expect that any potential EU approval could occur as early as 2026. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the additional periods of market exclusivity referred to above will be granted.

NuvaRing is a monthly vaginal contraceptive ring with a combination of progestin and estrogen used to prevent pregnancy in women. NuvaRing is typically prescribed for women that want a monthly contraceptive option.

Cerazette™ ¹ (desogestrel) is a progestin-only, daily pill used to prevent pregnancy in women. Progestin-only products, like Cerazette, are typically used by women who want hormonal contraception but for whom estrogen-containing contraceptives may not be medically appropriate. Cerazetteis not approved or marketed in the United States but is available in certain countries outside the United States.

Marvelon™ ¹ (desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol pill) and Mercilon™ ¹ (desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol pill) are both combinations of progestin and estrogen that are used as daily pills to prevent pregnancy. Marvelon contains a higher daily dose of estrogen than Mercilon. These medicines are not approved or marketed in the United States but are available in certain countries outside the United States. Mercilon is being evaluated for treatment of dysmenorrhea (lower abdominal pain immediately prior to or during menstruation), and we currently expect to make a regulatory submission for the same indication to Japan’s Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Agency (the “PMDA”) in 2025. Subject to such review, we currently expect that any potential Japanese PMDA approval could occur as early as 2026; however, there can be no assurance that such approval will be granted.

Fertility

Our fertility brands include the following products, which are primarily used for medically-assisted reproduction (“MAR”) and/or in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) treatment cycles:

Follistim AQ, which is marketed as Puregon in most countries outside the United States, contains human follicle-stimulating hormone (“FSH”) and is used to promote the development of multiple ovarian follicles in MAR procedures. Such procedures include IVF, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and embryo transfer. Follistim AQ belongs to the group of gonadotropic hormones used by women trying to conceive using IVF.

Elonva (which is not available in the United States) is a sustained follicle stimulant with the same mechanism of action as recombinant FSH. Due to its ability to initiate and sustain growth of multiple ovarian follicles for an entire week, a single

-5- subcutaneous injection of the recommended dose of Elonva may replace the first seven injections of any daily gonadotropin preparation in an ovarian stimulation treatment cycle. Elonva belongs to the group of gonadotropic hormones used by women trying to conceive using MAR and/or IVF.

Ganirelix acetate injection (marketed in certain countries outside the United States as Orgalutran™) is an injectable GnRH antagonist used to prevent luteinizing hormone surges. Ganirelix acetate injection is used in fertility treatments in combination with FSH.

Postpartum Hemorrhage

Jada is intended to provide control and treatment of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage when conservative management is warranted. Jada uses a low-level vacuum to encourage the physiologic contraction of the uterus to control bleeding. Jadais currently available in the United States at a majority of hospitals that offer labor and delivery services and is also available in several markets outside of the United States. We are considering options for future market expansion in additional markets globally.

Bacterial Vaginosis

Xaciato is an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of BV in females 12 years of age and older, which is licensed through an agreement with Daré Biosciences.

Xaciato is currently available in the United States; however, we plan to assess opportunities to seek potential further marketing authorizations for countries outside the United States.

Biosimilars Portfolio

A biosimilar is a biological medicine that is highly similar to another biological medicine that has already been approved by the FDA. In 2024, our biosimilars portfolio accounted for $662 million, or approximately 10% of our total revenues, with $310 million, or approximately 47%, generated outside the United States. The assets in our biosimilars portfolio, coupled with our commercial experience in biosimilars, provide an opportunity to benefit from future growth anticipated in this area.

Our Biosimilars Products

Our biosimilars portfolio consists of therapies in immunology and oncology for which we have worldwide commercialization rights with certain geographic exceptions specified on a product-by-product basis. Such exceptions are governed by agreements that we entered into with Samsung Bioepis and Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. (“Henlius”).

As of December 31, 2024, we have licenses to commercialize the following development stage products:

Regulatory Development:

HLX14, a biosimilar candidate to Amgen's Prolia²/Xgeva² (denosumab), is a recombinant anti-RANKL human monoclonal antibody, Prolia is indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture, and Xgeva is indicated for the prevention of skeletal-related events in patients with multiple myeloma and in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors. We have worldwide commercialization rights to HXL14 in countries except for China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Henlius is responsible for development of this product and, if approved, will supply the products to us.

HLX11, a biosimilar candidate to Roche's Perjeta² (pertuzumab), is an anti-HER2 domain II humanized monoclonal antibody. Pertuzumab, in combinations with trastuzumab and chemotherapy, is used for the treatment of certain patients with HER2+ breast cancer. We have worldwide commercialization rights to HXL11 in countries except for China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Henlius is responsible for development and, if approved, will supply the products to us.

SJ02, a long-acting recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone carboxyl-terminal peptide FSH-CTP. SJ02 is designed for COS in combination with a GnRH antagonist to facilitate the development of multiple follicles in women undergoing ART programs. SJ02 is designed to initiate and maintain follicular growth in the ovaries for one week. If approved, a single-dose injection of SJ02 has the potential to offer an alternative to the current treatment regimen. We have exclusive commercialization rights in China. Centergene is responsible for the development of this product and, if approved, will supply the product to us.

Clinical Pharmaceutical Development:

OG-6219, a HSD17β1 inhibitor, is an investigational agent being evaluated as a potential treatment for endometriosis. Endometriosis is a common and chronic condition that affects up to one in 10 women of reproductive age, causes abdominal pain and is associated with infertility. Approximately 10% of premenopausal women are diagnosed with endometriosis, and diagnosis occurs an average of seven years after the development of symptoms. Current therapies are predominantly hormonal treatments, which are not generally suitable for long-term use, and frequent surgical interventions may be required. OG-6219 is a non-hormonal treatment with a novel mechanism of action. As there are currently limited treatment options for women with endometriosis, this represents a priority disease area for us.

OG-7191, a HSD17β5 inhibitor, is a preclinical program targeting polycystic ovarian syndrome (“PCOS”), one of the most common women's health conditions often associated with metabolic disorders, hyperandrogenism and infertility. PCOS is a life-long chronic disorder and is associated with infertility as a result of menstrual cycle disruption. Approximately 10-13% of women worldwide suffer from PCOS. Our OG-7191 program aims to directly target the root cause of PCOS and the underlying pathophysiology of this condition. As there are currently no approved therapies for PCOS, this represents another priority disease area for us.

OG-9489 is an investigational non-hormonal, on-demand contraceptive candidate. In the United States, approximately 65% of women 15–49 of age use some form of contraception, with a growing proportion of these women seeking non-hormonal reliable contraception. We have entered into a research collaboration and exclusive license agreement with Cirqle Biomedical (“Cirqle”) for this novel investigational candidate. Under the terms of the agreement, Cirqle is responsible for conducting preclinical studies according to the mutually agreed research plan, and if successful, we will have exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize the product.

-9-

MedTech Development:

The Claria System is an investigational medical device being studied for use during minimally invasive laparoscopic hysterectomy. In 2023, we made a strategic investment in Claria Medical, Inc. (“Claria”). Under the terms of that agreement, Claria is responsible for conducting clinical studies according to the mutually agreed research plan. With approximately 600,000 hysterectomies performed annually in the United States alone, hysterectomy is one of the most performed surgeries for women. Claria’s investigational device uses a uterine containment and extraction system that aims to improve the hysterectomy procedure for both patients and physicians by providing a faster, simpler and safer procedure. This technology has been granted Safer Technology designation by FDA. The Safer Technologies designation does not confer FDA marketing clearance or approval, but is given to devices that are, among other things, reasonably expected to significantly improve the safety of currently available treatments or diagnostics that target an underlying disease or condition. Our agreement with Claria also gives us the option to acquire Claria.

We rely on internal scientific expertise and close collaborations with partners, and expect to advance product development opportunities, data generation, product registration, and licensing on a global scale.

We also regularly assess our employees’ experience, including measures of engagement, well-being, inclusion, and core cultural values through annual surveys and regular check-ins.

Our employees are at the core of our mission to improve the health of women and, given our global nature, we have a strong focus on female representation. Globally, over half of our employees are female, and women comprise nearly half of our senior leadership.

Intellectual Property

We actively seek to secure and maintain patents that protect our products, product candidates and other investors or improvements that we consider important to our business. Patents may cover products per se, pharmaceutical formulations, processes for, or intermediates useful in, the manufacture of products, devices for delivering products, or the uses of products. Protection for individual products extends for varying periods in accordance with the legal life of patents in the various countries, and may be extended in some jurisdictions based upon the period of time a patented product is under regulatory review by the relevant health authority. The protection afforded, which may also vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent and its scope of coverage.

We have been granted a license from Merck for Nexplanon / Implanon NXT that permits use of the underlying technology solely as a contraceptive implant containing only the active pharmaceutical ingredient currently used in the product. We are also party to a separate licensing agreement with Merck that provides a limited expansion of the fields for which we may use the underlying technology of Nexplanon / Implanon NXTbeyond contraception in exchange for milestone payments.

We consider the patents that cover Nexplanon to be material to our business. The relevant Nexplanon rod patents will expire in 2027 in the United States and in 2025 in other countries around the world. Key aspects of the Nexplanon applicator are patented until 2030 in the United States and 2026 in certain other countries. There are currently no material contested proceedings or third-party claims that involve the patents that cover Nexplanon. As described above, an application for a five-year duration period of use was submitted to the FDA in December 2024, and is currently undergoing regulatory review, and if approved, we could receive an additional three years of market exclusivity for Nexplanon in the United States. We currently plan to make a similar application for review by EU regulators in 2025. However, there can be no assurance that the additional periods of market exclusivity referred to above will be granted. See Note 18 “Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Primary patent exclusivity for Vtama is provided by patents on topical formulations of tapinarof. These patents expire in May 2036 in the United States and other countries around the world. Additional patents on other aspects of Vtama expire later, and related patent applications are pending.

While the expiration of a product patent normally results in generic competition for the covered pharmaceutical product, commercial benefits may continue to be derived from, for example: (i) later-granted patents on processes and intermediates related to the most economical method of manufacture of the active ingredient of such product; (ii) patents relating to the use or delivery of such product; and (iii) patents relating to novel compositions and formulations. In addition, in the United States and certain other countries, an additional period of market or data exclusivity may be available under relevant law. The effect of product patent expiration on pharmaceutical products also depends upon many other factors, such as the nature of the market and the position of the product in it, the growth of the market, the complexities and economics of the process for manufacture of the active ingredient of the product and the requirements of new drug provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act or similar laws and regulations in other countries.

Additions to market or data exclusivity are sought in the United States and other countries through all relevant laws, including laws increasing patent life. Additionally, improvements in intellectual property laws are sought in the United States and other

-12- countries through reform of patent and other relevant laws and implementation of international treaties. For further information with respect to our patents, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and Note 18 “Contingencies—Patent Litigation” to the Financial Statements included in this report.

Worldwide, all of our important products are sold under trademarks that are considered in the aggregate to be of material importance. Trademark protection continues in some countries as long as used; in other countries, as long as registered. Registration is for fixed terms and can be renewed indefinitely.

Royalty income in 2024 on patent and know-how licenses and other rights amounted to $8 million. We also incurred royalty expenses totaling $5 million in 2024 under patent and know-how licenses we hold.

Privacy and Data Protection

We are subject to a significant number of privacy and data protection laws and regulations globally, many of which place restrictions on our ability to transfer, access and use personal data across our business including healthcare provider information and clinical trial data. The legislative and regulatory landscape for privacy and data protection continues to evolve, and there are privacy and data protection frameworks with the potential to directly affect our business. These include, for instance, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which and imposes penalties of up to 4% of global revenue, and China's Personal Information Protection Law (“PIPL”) and US state privacy laws. The data protection regulatory environment in China has been evolving quickly, including regulations regarding cross-border transfers of personal data. These laws regulate the processing of personal information and increase the obligations of companies to protect and safeguard information. Certain of these regulations also require organizations to evaluate cross-border transfers of personal information and may require localization of certain data if specific conditions are met.

Competition

We conduct our business in highly competitive markets which mirror the equally competitive pharmaceutical industry. Our competitors include other worldwide research-based pharmaceutical companies, smaller research companies with more limited therapeutic focus and generic drug manufacturers. Our operations may be adversely affected by generic and biosimilar competition as our products mature, as well as technological advances of competitors, industry consolidation, patents granted to competitors, competitive combination products, new products of competitors, the generic availability of competitors’ branded products and new information from clinical trials of marketed products or post-marketing surveillance. In addition, patent rights are increasingly being challenged by competitors and the outcome can be highly uncertain. An adverse result in a patent dispute can preclude commercialization of products or negatively affect sales of existing products and could result in the payment of royalties or in the recognition of an impairment charge with respect to intangible assets associated with certain products. Competitive pressures continue to intensify as the industry grows.

To remain competitive, the additional resources required to meet market challenges include quality control, flexibility to meet buyer specifications, an efficient distribution system and a strong technical information service. We plan to continue to acquire and market products through external alliances, such as licensing arrangements and collaborations, and have designed our sales and marketing efforts to address changing industry conditions.

In the United States private sector, consolidation and integration among health care providers is a major factor in the competitive pharmaceutical products marketplace. Private third-party insurers, as well as federal and state governments, employ formularies to control costs by negotiating discounted prices in exchange for formulary inclusion. In addition to formulary tier co-pay or co-insurance differentials, private health insurance companies and self-insured employers have been raising co-payments and co-insurance required from beneficiaries, particularly for branded pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. Private health insurance companies are also increasingly imposing utilization management tools, such as clinical protocols requiring prior authorization for a branded product if a generic product is available or requiring the patient to first fail on one or more generic products before permitting access to a branded medicine. These management tools are also used in treatment areas in which the payor has taken the position that multiple branded products are therapeutically comparable. As the United States payor market further concentrates, and as more drugs become available in generic form, pharmaceutical companies may face greater pricing pressure from private third-party payors. In addition, other proposals that allow international reference pricing or, under certain conditions, the international importation of medicines, may be considered.

We face increasing pricing pressure globally from managed care organizations and government agencies and programs. This pricing pressure could negatively affect our sales and profit margins. In the United States, these concerns include: (i) practices of managed care organizations, federal and state exchanges and institutional and governmental purchasers, and (ii) federal laws and regulations related to Medicare and Medicaid.

United States

In the United States, government authorities are increasingly attempting to limit or regulate the price of medical products and services, particularly for new and innovative products and therapies, which has resulted in lower average selling prices. There have been several Congressional inquiries, and federal legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to drug pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer-sponsored patient assistance programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drugs.

For example, effective January 1, 2024, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 eliminated the statutory Medicaid drug rebate cap, previously set at 100% of a drug’s average manufacture price, for single source and innovator multiple source drugs. In addition, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”), among other things, allows Medicare to penalize drug companies that raise prices for products covered under Medicare Parts B and D faster than inflation; and beginning in 2025, implement changes to the Medicare Part D benefit that will cap benefit annual out-of-pocket spending at $2,000, with new discount obligations for pharmaceutical manufacturers. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has taken steps to implement the IRA, including on December 20, 2024, releasing a list of 64 Medicare Part B products that had an adjusted coinsurance rate based on the inflationary rebate provisions of the IRA for the time period of January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025. It remains to be seen how the drug pricing provisions imposed by the IRA will affect the broader pharmaceutical industry, and Organon cannot predict how future regulatory actions to implement the IRA could result in further pricing pressures.

Other proposed administrative actions may affect Organon’s government pricing responsibilities. For example, CMS has issued proposals to amend the existing Medicaid Drug Rebate Program regulations. In addition, we may also be affected by developments relating to the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program. In June 2023, we implemented a policy to reduce diversion and inappropriate claims for discounts and rebates by contract pharmacies that were affiliated with 340B-eligible entities. Multiple manufacturers have adopted similar policies, and the Department of Health and Human Services has sent several of these manufacturers letters claiming that the policies violate the 340B statute and referring the manufacturers for potential enforcement action. Certain drug manufacturers challenged these letters in federal court. The U.S. Courts of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the Third Circuit recently ruled in favor of several manufacturers. To date, other challenges are still pending. At the state level, individual states are increasingly aggressive in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing. We believe that our policy complies with the 340B statute, yet it is unclear how this pending litigation, recent and proposed legislation, or future administrative actions relating to the 340B Drug Pricing Program will impact our business.

European Union

Pricing and reimbursement of medicinal products are not harmonized at the EU level, but rather controlled by individual EU Member States. These Member States have attempted to contain drug costs by engaging in reference pricing. Reference pricing allows authorities to examine pre-determined markets for published prices of drugs. The downward pressure on health care costs in general, particularly prescription drugs, has intensified. As a result, manufacturers are erecting increasingly high entry barriers to new products. Additionally, EU Member States have the power to restrict the range of pharmaceutical products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some EU Member States, we may be required to conduct studies that compare the cost-effectiveness of our product candidates to other therapies that are considered the local standard of care. There can be no assurance that any EU Member State will allow favorable pricing, reimbursement and market access conditions for any of our products, or that it will be feasible to conduct additional cost-effectiveness studies, if required.

Japan

In Japan, the pharmaceutical industry is subject to government-mandated price reductions of pharmaceutical products. Furthermore, the government can order re-pricings for specific products if it determines that use of such products will exceed certain thresholds defined under applicable re-pricing rules.

-14-

China

Despite going through multiple loss of exclusivity (“LOE”) events in our portfolio, our performance in China has remained consistent, largely due to the strength of our underlying business. As used in this report, LOE refers to a loss of regulatory, data, or other marketing exclusivity that can, in the absence of patent protection, result in direct competition for the product in a given market. Continued growth of our business in China depends upon ongoing development of a favorable environment for innovative pharmaceutical products, sustained access for our current in-line products, and the minimization of trade impediments or adverse pricing controls. In recent years, the Chinese government has introduced and implemented several structural reforms to accelerate the shift to innovative products and reduce costs. The Chinese government updates the National reimbursement Drug List (“NRDL”) for the government-administered insurance plans on a yearly basis; a drug's initial access to the NRDL is coupled with significant price reductions and is subject to further price reviews after two years.

While pricing pressure has always existed in China, health care reform has increased this pressure in part due to the acceleration of generic substitution through volume-based procurement (“VBP”). The Chinese VBP program operates through a tendering process for mature products that have generic substitutes with a Generic Quality Consistency Evaluation (“GQCE”) approval. Mature products that have entered into the first nine rounds of VBP have had, on average, a price reduction of over 50%. VBP has been roughly a semi-annual process that will have a significant impact on mature products moving forward, which we expect to increase pricing pressure on our products in China. There are approximately 450 molecules included under the first ten rounds of VBP. After the expiration of the national VBP period, the VBP products may be subject to further price reductions in the provincial-level VBP programs implemented by individual provinces or province alliances; such provincial-level VBP programs may also target molecules that are not qualified for national VBP. In addition, multiple Chinese provinces are piloting a Universal Reimbursement Payment Standard (“URPS”) program in their respective provinces. Under the URPS, the government may determine the reimbursement prices by referring to the prices of the lowest-priced VBP winning products, with any remaining costs then passed along to the patients in the form of a co-pay, which reduces the affordability of certain products with prices that exceed the lowest-priced VBP-winning products. The URPS policy will create additional pricing and volume pressure for pharmaceutical products that are subject to the program and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Other Markets

Governments in many other markets are also focused on constraining health care costs and have enacted price controls and measures impacting intellectual property, including in exceptional cases, threats of compulsory licenses that aim to put pressure on the price of innovative pharmaceuticals or result in constrained market access to innovative medicine. We anticipate that pricing pressures and market access challenges will continue in the future to varying degrees in such markets.

In addressing cost containment pressures, we engage in public policy advocacy with policymakers and continue to work to demonstrate that our medicines provide value to patients and to those who pay for health care. We advocate with government policymakers to encourage a long-term approach to sustainable health care financing that ensures access to innovative medicines and does not disproportionately target pharmaceuticals as a source of budget savings. In markets with historically low rates of health care spending, we encourage those governments to increase their investments and adopt market reforms to improve their citizens’ access to appropriate health care, including medicines.

Regulation of Our Products

The pharmaceutical and medical device industries are subject to regulation by regional, country, state and local authorities around the world, focused on standards and processes for determining drug and device safety and effectiveness, as well as conditions for sale or reimbursement. In the United States, the FDA administers requirements covering the testing, approval, safety, effectiveness, manufacturing, labeling and marketing of pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

The EU has also adopted directives and other legislation concerning the classification, approval for marketing, labeling, advertising, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, integrity of the supply chain, pharmacovigilance and safety monitoring of medicinal products for human use. These provide mandatory standards throughout the EU, which may be supplemented or implemented with additional regulations by the EU Member States.

Industry practice and government regulations in the United States and most foreign countries provide for the determination of effectiveness and safety of new chemical compounds suitable for pharmaceutical use through pre-clinical tests and controlled clinical evaluation. Before a new drug may be marketed in the United States, recorded data on pre-clinical and clinical investigations are included in the NDA for a drug or the Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for a biologic, and submitted to the FDA for the required approval, which can be a phased process. As a manufacturer and distributor of drug products, our

-15- activities are regulated under various federal and state statutes and state manufacturer and wholesaler laws. Manufacturers and distributors of controlled substances must also maintain registration with the Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”), and comply with various regulatory requirements, including maintaining records and inventory, reporting to the DEA, and meeting certain security and operational safeguards. Similar requirements exist in most states.

The FDA imposes medical device regulations that govern requirements for design, development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, clinical trials, and pre-market clearance and approval, among other requirements. Marketed devices are also subject to ongoing FDA regulation. Requirements include those related to establishment registration and device listing, labeling and advertising, unique device identification, and good manufacturing practices. Although physicians are permitted to use their medical judgment to use medical devices for indications other than those cleared or approved by the FDA, we may not promote our products for such “off-label” uses and can only market our products for cleared or approved uses.

Before our pharmaceutical products can be marketed outside the United States, they are also subject to regulatory approvals in those countries. Each country has a separate and independent review process and timeline, which varies significantly between jurisdictions. In certain countries, the sales price of a product must also be approved by the applicable regulator.

Failure by us or by any of our third-party partners, including suppliers, manufacturers and distributors, to comply with laws governing the conduct of clinical trials, manufacturing approval, marketing authorization of pharmaceutical products and marketing of such products, both before and after grant of marketing authorization, statutory health insurance, bribery and anti-corruption or other applicable regulatory requirements, may result in administrative, civil or criminal penalties. These penalties could include delays or refusal to authorize the conduct of clinical trials or to grant marketing authorization, product withdrawals and recalls, product seizures, suspension, withdrawal or variation of the marketing authorization, total or partial suspension of production, distribution, manufacturing or clinical trials, operating restrictions, injunctions, suspension of licenses, fines and criminal penalties.

We and our third-party manufacturers are also subject to other good manufacturing practices, which are extensive regulations governing manufacturing processes, stability testing, record keeping and quality standards as defined by the regulatory authorities. Companies may be subject to civil, criminal or administrative sanctions if they fail to comply with these practices.

The advertising and promotion of our products are also subject to laws, rules, regulations, and industry self-regulatory codes of conduct concerning promotion of pharmaceutical products, interactions with health care providers, misleading and comparative advertising and unfair commercial practices.

In the future, we will likely become subject to new laws and regulations. For additional information, please see “Risk Factors — We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, and we may face serious consequences for violations if we fail to meet the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.”

Climate and Environmental Matters

We believe that climate change will present some degree of risk to our business. Some of the potential effects of climate change to our business could include increased operating costs due to additional regulatory requirements, changes in supply and suppliers due to regulatory requirements, physical risks to our facilities, water limitations and disruptions to our supply chain. Some potential risks are integrated into our business planning, including investment in reducing energy, water use and greenhouse gas emissions. We do not believe these potential risks are material to our business at this time.

We are not aware of any compliance issues associated with applicable environmental laws and regulations that would have a material adverse effect on our business. Expenditures for remediation and environmental liabilities are estimated to be approximately $14 million in the aggregate for the years 2025 through 2029. For additional information, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Estimates” and Note 18 “Contingencies —Environmental Matters” to the Financial Statements included in this report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, various legislation, regulations and international accords pertaining to climate change have been implemented or are being considered for implementation, particularly as they relate to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”), California’s Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act and Climate Related Financial Risk Act, and similar regulations under consideration by the SEC. For additional information, please see “Risk Factors — We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, and we may face serious consequences for violations if we fail to meet the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.”
