Organon & Co (NYSE:OGN) reported a first-quarter revenue of $1.622 billion, a 5% increase year-over-year, surpassing the consensus of $1.563 billion. The growth was led by an 11% increase in Women's Health revenue, notably from Nexplanon, and a 46% surge in Biosimilar revenue, driven by Ontruzant and Renflexis. Despite a flat performance in Established Brands, the company beat adjusted EPS estimates with $1.22 against a consensus of $0.93. However, adjusted gross margin and EBITDA margin saw slight declines. Organon declared a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share and reaffirmed its FY24 revenue guidance of $6.2 billion to $6.5 billion. OGN shares rose 2.18% to $19.24.
