Company estimates $15 million of milestone payments in the first quarter

Organon (NYSE: OGN), a global healthcare company with a focus on women’s health, will release its first quarter 2024 financial results on May 2, 2024, prior to the company’s webcast and conference call scheduled for 8:30 a.m. EDT.

IPR&D and Milestones

Organon currently expects that it will record approximately $15 million of milestone payments in the first quarter of 2024, representing approximately $0.05 to both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share. The milestone payments relate to progress associated with the development of a denosumab biosimilar candidate and expect to be paid in accordance with certain agreements with Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc., one of Organon’s biosimilar collaborators.

As previously disclosed, Organon does not forecast IPR&D (in process research and development) or milestone payments due to the level of uncertainty and ability to forecast the timing of such achievements. As such, this payment, as well as any future IPR&D and milestone payments are not contemplated in the company’s financial guidance provided on February 15, 2024. Organon’s first quarter 2024 results have not been finalized and are subject to the company’s quarterly financial statement closing procedures. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from the preliminary estimates described herein.
