Business Development
Samsung Collaboration
On May 22, 2026, the Samsung Agreement was amended to include commercialization rights for Pyzchiva (ustekinumab biosimilar) in Canada. Samsung Bioepis retains full development, manufacturing, and regulatory responsibilities ("Amendment No. 8"). Pyzchiva is expected to launch in Canada in the second half of 2026.
On May 26, 2026, the Samsung Agreement was amended to extend commercialization rights for certain biosimilar products, including Renflexis and Brenzys, in specified markets for up to seven years beyond the original contract term ("Amendment No. 9").
In connection with Amendment No. 9, the Company is required to make fixed payments totaling $30 million over a nine-year period from 2026 through 2034. The Company recorded an intangible asset and corresponding liability of $20.8 million, the present value of the future payments. The intangible asset will be amortized over nine years.
The liability is accreted to its contractual value over time using the effective interest method, with accretion recognized within Interest expense to reflect the nature of the underlying arrangement.
Amendment No. 9 also includes the return of commercialization rights to Samsung for certain oncology biosimilars, including Ontruzant and Aybintio, in specified ex-U.S. markets such as Europe, Canada, and Brazil. These returns of rights are subject to defined, phased transition and cutover periods extending from 2026 through 2029, during which the Company may continue to commercialize products and fulfill contractual obligations.
On June 2, 2026, the Samsung Agreement was amended to include commercialization rights for Epyztek in Australia. Samsung Bioepis retains full development, manufacturing, and regulatory responsibilities ("Amendment No. 10"). Epyztek is expected to launch in Australia in the second half of 2026.

On February 19, 2026, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Sebela for the global rights to Miudella®, a hormone-free copper intrauterine device ("IUD") that was approved by the FDA on February 24, 2025 and is estimated to launch commercials sales in the United States in late 2026. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid $27.5 million in June 2026, with potential sales-based milestone payments of up to $505 million, and tiered double-digit royalties based on net sales. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized an intangible asset of $27.5 million.
Laborie Medical Technologies Corporation ("Laborie")
In January 2026, we divested the Jada System to Laborie for an aggregate payment of up to $465 million, comprised of consideration of $440 million, subject to certain closing adjustments, plus potential contingent consideration payments of up to $25 million based on the achievement of certain 2026 net sales targets. Approximately 100 Company employees transferred to Laborie as part of this transaction.

Worldwide sales were $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of 2%, compared to 2025. Worldwide sales were positively impacted by approximately $42 million or 3%, due to favorable foreign exchange rates.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, sales decreases for the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily reflect the lower sales of:
•Ontruzant, due to lower tendered volume from Brazil's Ministry of Health when compared with the same period in 2025;
•Singulair® (montelukast sodium), primarily attributable to decreased demand due to less favorable medical guidelines in certain international markets, most recently in China, as well as temporary supply constraints in Japan and mandatory price reductions in China and Japan; and
•Jada, due to no longer having sales following the sale of the Jada System to Laborie in January 2026.
This performance was offset by sales increases for the three months ended June 30, 2026 in:
•Hadlima, due to stronger demand in the United States and Puerto Rico;
•Zetia® (ezetimibe)/Vytorin® (ezetimibe / simvastatin), primarily driven by increased demand in China; and
•Emgality, as a result of increased demand in various international markets.
Worldwide sales were $3.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of 3%, compared to 2025. Worldwide sales during the six months ended June 30, 2026 were positively impacted by approximately $118 million, or approximately 4%, due to favorable foreign exchange rates.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, sales decreases for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily reflect lower sales of:
•Nexplanon, 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;
•Singulair, primarily attributable to decreased demand due to less favorable medical guidelines in certain international markets, most recently in China, as well as temporary supply constraints in Japan and mandatory price reductions in China and Japan;
•Ontruzant, due to lower tendered volume from Brazil's Ministry of Health when compared with the same period in 2025; and
•Jada, due to no longer having sales following the sale of the Jada System to Laborie in January 2026.
This performance was offset by sales increases for the six months ended June 30, 2026 in:
•Hadlima, due to stronger demand in the United States and Puerto Rico;
•Emgality, as a result of increased demand in various international markets; and
•Zetia/Vytorin, primarily driven by increased demand in China.
Loss of exclusivity ("LOE") negatively impacted sales of certain of our products by approximately $6 million and $10 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, based on the decrease in sales volume of those products compared to 2025. Volume-based procurement ("VBP") in China negatively impacted sales by approximately $5 million and $7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. We expect VBP to continue to negatively impact our general medicines product portfolio for the next several quarters.
Due to changing market conditions, including ongoing regional conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere, 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
-29-
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 or waivers of their terms for certain key products.
Highlights of the sales of our products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 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, declined 4% and 12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively, 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. We estimate that expanding use from the new label will begin to favorably offset the reinsertion headwind beginning in the second half of 2026. 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 the 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 were positively impacted by increased demand and access in Brazil, which we expect to continue for the remainder of 2026.
Worldwide sales of NuvaRing, a vaginal contraceptive product, declined 4% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, due to decreased demand in various international markets, partially offset by lower discount rates in the United States. Sales of NuvaRing, increased 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, due to the favorable impact of foreign exchange and lower discount rates in the United States, offset by decreased demand in various international markets.
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 4% and 20% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively, as a result of decreased demand and market contraction in China and the timing of shipments in Asia Pacific. In the second quarter of 2026, we received regulatory approval in Japan for Mercilon Combination Tablets, a low-dose estrogen-progestin (LEP) product for the treatment of dysmenorrhea.
Fertility
Worldwide sales of Follistim AQ, a fertility treatment, declined 19% and 16% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively, as a result of competitive-driven price reduction in the United States. We expect sales to continue to decline compared to 2025 for the remainder of the year, reflecting the material price decrease implemented in February 2025. We anticipate that year-over-year comparisons will stabilize once a full year has elapsed following the price reduction, assuming no additional structural price decreases occur in the interim.
Other Women's Health
In January 2026, we completed the sale of the Jada System to Laborie and, thereafter, we were no longer actively selling the Jada System. As a result, worldwide sales of Jada, a device intended to provide control and treatment of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage when conservative management is warranted, significantly declined for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively.

Renflexis is a biosimilar to Remicade2(infliximab) for the treatment of certain autoimmune conditions. Sales increased 4% and 2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively, primarily due to increased demand in Canada, partially offset by competitive pressure and unfavorable discount rates in the United States.
Hadlima is a biosimilar to Humira2 (adalimumab) for the treatment of certain autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. Sales increased 59% and 51% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively, due to stronger demand in the United States and Puerto Rico.

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, 2026, compared to 2025, declined 81% and 77%, respectively, due to lower tendered volume from Brazil's Ministry of Health when compared with the same period in 2025. We have commercialization rights to Ontruzant in all countries except in South Korea and China.
Brenzys is a biosimilar to Enbrel2 (etanercept) for the treatment of certain inflammatory diseases. Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, declined 34% and 5%, respectively, as a result of the timing of shipments in Brazil. We have commercialization rights to Brenzys in countries outside of the United States, Europe, South Korea, China, and Japan.
Bildyos injection 60 mg/mL and Bilprevda injection 120 mg/1.7 mL, are biosimilars to Prolia and Xgeva, respectively, for all indications of the reference products. Sales were $19 million and $35 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as a result of the product launch in the third quarter of 2025.

Sales of Atozet increased 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, primarily due to favorable foreign exchange, increased demand in China, due to the product launch in 2025, in Asia Pacific and Korea as well as volume uptake in certain countries in Europe, partially offset by unfavorable pricing in Europe.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased 1% and less than 1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively, driven by our product mix and the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange. Cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 includes amortization associated with the inventory fair value adjustment related to the Dermavant acquisition of $0 and $7 million, respectively, and amortization of intangible assets of $46 million and $93 million, respectively. 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.
Gross Profit update
Gross profit decreased 3% and 5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively, due to the impact of unfavorable volume, pricing and product mix and unfavorable foreign exchange.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 4% and 2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively, due to reduced headcount-related costs and lower spending as part of our cost-saving and restructuring initiatives.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased 5% for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, primarily due to reduced headcount-related costs related to our restructuring initiatives and a decrease in clinical study activity. During 2025, we discontinued the clinical development programs for investigational candidates OG-6219 and OG-7191.

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 Suzhou Centergene Pharmaceuticals, due to the evolving fertility landscape in China.
Restructuring Costs
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we incurred restructuring costs of $31 million related to our 2026 restructuring initiatives to streamline and optimize our research and development and manufacturing operations, focusing on enhancing efficiency and aligning resources with strategic priorities. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred restructuring costs of $88 million, comprised primarily of headcount-related restructuring expense associated with restructuring initiatives that were aimed at driving operational efficiencies in 2025.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased 18% and 14% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively, due to the repurchase and cancellation of approximately $419 million of the Company's 5.125% notes due in 2031 (the "2031 Notes") during the second and fourth quarters of 2025, mandatory prepayments to our term loans in the first quarter of 2026 and lower reference rates on our USD-denominated variable rate debt.
Exchange Losses (Gains)
Exchange losses (gains) were unfavorable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2025, respectively primarily due to unfavorable movements in certain foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
Other Expense (Income), net
Other expense (income), net was impacted for the three months ended June 30, 2026, by $17 million due to an unfavorable resolution of a working capital matter related to the Dermavant acquisition and $9 million related to the fair value adjustments and accretion of the Dermavant acquisition contingent consideration, related to changes in the timing of expected commercial milestones based on updated sales forecasts. Other expense (income), net was impacted for the six months ended June 30, 2026, by an $81 million net gain related to the divestiture of the Jada System to Laborie in the first quarter of 2026, $17 million due to an unfavorable resolution of a working capital matter related to the Dermavant acquisition and $4 million related to the fair value adjustments and accretion of the Dermavant acquisition contingent consideration, related to changes in the timing of expected commercial milestones based on updated sales forecasts.
Taxes on Income
The effective income tax rates were 36.0% and 29.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 valuation allowance recorded against non-deductible U.S. interest expense. Also included in the six month tax rate is the beneficial impact of the sale of the Jada System. There was a favorable impact to the 2025 year-to-date effective tax rate driven by a tax amortization benefit.
On July 4, 2025, U.S. 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. For 2026 and beyond, the impacts of the OBBBA are reflected in our U.S. cash tax liability and income tax provision primarily reflected as an increase in our interest expense limitation offset by a decrease in our foreign income inclusions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.13 billion. 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. Our ability to raise new capital or refinance our debt, will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such times.
Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities and was $2.50 billion and $1.96 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Working capital was positively impacted by our active cash cycle management, which includes the factoring of receivables and timing of vendor payments and the proceeds from the divestiture of the Jada System.
We have accounts receivable factoring agreements with financial institutions in certain countries. Under these agreements, we have factored $216 million and $217 million of our accounts receivable as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 11 "Financial Instruments" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our accounts receivable factoring and related agreements.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $332 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $295 million for the same period in the prior year due to our active cash cycle management.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $310 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $210 million used in investing activities for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to proceeds from the divestiture of the Jada system and decreased milestone payments.
Net cash used in financing activities was $50 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $298 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by decreased dividend payments and decreased repayments of debt in the current year.
As part of our post-spinoff plan to further optimize our manufacturing and supply network, we will continue to separate our supply chain through planned exits from supply agreements with 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 continuing to 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, 2026, 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, 2025 for further details. As of June 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside of the ordinary course of business.
During the second quarter of 2026, we paid cash dividends of $0.02 per share. On July 31, 2026, 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 10, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2026.
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.
