Kevin Ali

Good morning, everyone, and convey you, Jen. Welcome to today's telephone wherever we'll talk astir our 4th fourth and afloat twelvemonth 2022 results. To statesman with, I'm exceptionally proud of Organon's capacity successful our first afloat twelvemonth arsenic a stand-alone company. For nan afloat twelvemonth 2022, we delivered a 4% summation successful full institution gross astatine changeless currency. We besides demonstrated beardown profitability, generating an adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 billion, representing a 33.8% margin. We delivered beardown maturation successful our Women's Health and Biosimilars portfolios arsenic good arsenic we grew our Established Brands business.

Starting pinch Women's Health. For nan afloat twelvemonth 2022, nan Women's Health franchise delivered 7% maturation connected a changeless rate basis. This includes $834 cardinal of gross from Nexplanon, which grew 11% successful 2022 astatine changeless currency. This marks Nexplanon's 2nd consecutive twelvemonth of double-digit growth. That is simply a important accomplishment for a merchandise that has been astir for complete a decade and relies connected continually attracting caller patients to nan product. We are seeing peculiar spot extracurricular nan U.S. wherever Nexplanon grew 17% successful 2022, particularly successful our LAMERA region, wherever improved entree is helping to thrust demand. In nan U.S., Nexplanon grew 8% successful 2022 and continues to summation stock successful nan lark of a long-acting reversible contraceptive market. In 2022, we besides trained much than 20,000 wellness attraction providers to insert Nexplanon, and we will proceed to train much providers successful 2023.

Importantly, we proceed to hone our go-to-market strategy emphasizing follow-on reviews pinch wellness attraction providers, actively prescribing Nexplanon for whom further training whitethorn fortify their comfortableness successful prescribing Nexplanon.

We proceed to show nan effect of nan overturn of Roe v. Wade connected nan contraception market. Since July 2022, we person seen request maturation for Nexplanon successful nan astir restricted states arsenic good arsenic protected and semi-restricted states. This speaks to nan request now much than ever for highly useful shape of contraception.

In real-world views, Nexplanon is complete 99% effective successful preventing pregnancies compared pinch immoderate forms of short-acting contraceptives wherever efficacy is little than 80%. That is successful portion because erstwhile women usage a long-acting contraceptive for illustration Nexplanon, it takes nan patient-dependent facet retired of it. Nexplanon is inserted wrong minutes and presently provides useful -- continuous efficacy for up to 3 years. We besides judge we will beryllium successful successful demonstrating nan 5-year efficacy done our ongoing study. But importantly, it wasn't conscionable Nexplanon that continued nan maturation successful Women's Health successful 2022. We proceed to spot bully publication from nan Fertility portfolio which successful 2022 grew astir 9% astatine changeless rate contempt nan effect of COVID successful China, which limits patients' expertise to statesman aliases proceed curen astatine fertility clinics.

The U.S. and China are ample fertility markets and together correspond much than half of our existent fertility business. China, is simply a peculiarly important fertility marketplace for us, pinch nan imaginable to turn to much than 1 cardinal IVF cycles a twelvemonth complete nan adjacent decade. The number of cycles successful nan China is already 3x nan number of cycles successful nan U.S. And arsenic we person discussed galore times before, fertility is simply a therapy area pinch beardown demographic tailwinds. Women are waiting longer to commencement their families, resulting successful higher prevalence of infertility and much governments are realizing that they request to return action to reside nan associated debased commencement rates.

More than 100 countries astir nan world person a fertility complaint aliases nan number of births per female that is importantly beneath nan replacement complaint that is required to prolong a organization and its GDP growth. Countries are offering much monetary incentives for households to grow their families and galore are offering amended fertility entree and benefits. Organon is 1 of nan fewer companies pinch nan portfolio helped service this increasing market. The Women's Health franchise is besides benefiting from our business improvement activities. As we deliberation astir business development, we are striving for equilibrium betwixt commercialized assets and earlier-stage assets that could go important maturation catalysts for Organon successful nan longer term.

Since spin, done business development, we person added 3 assets to our Women's Health portfolio that are already contributing aliases will soon beryllium contributing to gross growth. You will callback that past year, we reacquired nan authorities to Marvelon and Mercilon, which are mixed complete contraceptives successful selected territories successful Asia, including China and Vietnam. Together, Marvelon and Mercilon grew 20% successful 2022. The occurrence from nan repatriation of these assets is conscionable different illustration of really Organon is applying its ain methodologies to maximize nan capacity of assets that whitethorn person been nether prioritized successful different companies successful nan past. We are besides very excited astir nan JADA System, which we added to our portfolio successful 2021 pinch nan acquisition of Alydia Health. JADA is simply a instrumentality indicated to supply power and curen of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding aliases hemorrhage. And postpartum hemorrhage is 1 of nan astir communal complications of commencement requiring pharmacologic curen successful up to 10% of mothers. At past week's yearly gathering for nan Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, researchers unveiled nan results of nan Roe v. Wade study, which examined JADA'S efficacy and information successful real-world use. In nan Roe v. Wade study, researchers analyse a ample organization of 800 women who were treated pinch nan instrumentality from October 2020 to April 2022 astatine 16 hospitals crossed nan United States. Researchers concluded that JADA worked quickly and was highly effective successful controlling postpartum hemorrhage aft some vaginal and cesarean births. Researchers besides recovered that nan instrumentality successfully treated postpartum hemorrhage successful 92.5% of vaginal births and 83.7% of cesarean births.

In addition, nan instrumentality was safe and only had to stay successful spot for a fewer hours aft placement, allowing for a much businesslike postpartum attraction experience. Our goals successful acquiring Jada included nan opportunity to velocity up entree to this invention successful nan U.S. and to leverage our world capacity to bring this merchandise to markets astir nan world. We proceed to adhd accounts and are now astatine astir 1,000 hospitals successful nan U.S. pinch much than 15,000 mothers having been treated pinch JADA. Additionally, successful 2022, we made our first ex-U.S. shipments and has besides committed to nan EU for approval. We're besides pursuing earlier-stage assets that reside nan areas of highest unmet aesculapian needs and person nan imaginable to grow our portfolio successful Women's Health.

Since spin, we've added 4 earlier-stage assets successful nan Women's Health portfolio astatine different stages of development. The farthest on is OG-6219, a unsocial caller system of action, which is simply a campaigner to dainty endometriosis locally alternatively of systemically. In October 2022, we enrolled nan first diligent successful our Phase II ELENA study, which is expected to beryllium completed by nan extremity of 2024.

Turning to Biosimilars. Our Biosimilars franchise grew 17% connected a changeless rate ground successful 2022, marking its 2nd consecutive twelvemonth of double-digit growth. Biosimilars are an important maturation driver for nan company. And successful 2022, we underscored our committedness to nan business by adding a 2nd R&D partner pinch Shanghai Henlius. All 5 of our biosimilars contributed to nan beardown capacity successful 2022. Renflexis, our largest trading biosimilar, grew 22% past year, driven by coagulated capacity successful nan U.S. and Canada, contempt already being connected nan marketplace for 5-plus years. Ontruzant, our 2nd largest biosimilar grew much than 40% successful nan U.S. but that maturation was offset by competitory pressures successful Europe. Hadlima, our biosimilar for Humira, had a very beardown capacity successful 2022, reflecting its successful 2021 motorboat successful Canada and Australia. We expect that our occurrence successful those markets will thief pinch supplier assurance erstwhile we launched Hadlima successful nan U.S. successful July of this year. Because Humira is nan largest biologic to look biosimilar title successful nan U.S., we are often asked astir nan competitory position pinch Hadlima.

To reiterate our messaging, we judge that nan champion expert biosimilars will beryllium those that stock nan aforesaid attributes arsenic nan originator. That includes nan action for precocious attraction citrate pre-formulation arsenic good arsenic a debased attraction formulation, and we expect to person some astatine launch. We besides judge that real-world grounds and acquisition successful different markets will beryllium thing that providers will appreciate. We person that information done our collaborator, Samsung Bioepis from their acquisition pinch Hadlima and EU arsenic good arsenic from our ain successful launches successful Canada and Australia.

And finally, we judge our pen creation tin beryllium a differentiator for patients. Samsung, is an master successful instrumentality creation and manufacturing and has designed nan pen pinch nan purpose of providing a frictionless acquisition for caller patients and those transitioning from Humira. That said, pinch aggregate parties launching midyear, we person besides conveyed our belief that 2023 will beryllium a humble ramp-up twelvemonth pinch nan marketplace for biosimilars really forming successful 2024 and 2025 and beyond.

Finally, let's talk astir Established Brands, which presently represents astir 2/3 of our wide business and make important free rate flow. The portfolio continues to show nan sustainability and untapped imaginable of these brands. Over nan longer term, fixed nan maturity of nan portfolio, we expect adjacent to level capacity for our Established Brands business. In 2022, we benefited from immoderate onetime events arsenic good arsenic from delayed VBP implementation that helped nan franchise present maturation of 3% astatine changeless rate for nan afloat year.

In nan adjacent term, arsenic we deliberation astir 2023, we judge we will beryllium capable to offset nan expected effect from Round 7 of VBP pinch continued attraction connected maximizing nan imaginable of these well-known brands done continuous request generation, and we expect nan Established Brands to execute mostly level capacity successful 2023 connected a changeless rate basis.

Briefly turning to geographic performance. There are 2 important takeaways here: one, geographic consequence successful our gross is good distributed; and two, each of these geographic regions grew successful 2022. That includes China, which faced important challenges related to COVID successful 2022. As we deliberation astir 2023, we judge that spot successful nan unit channel, maturation successful fertility arsenic good arsenic nan benefits from nan reacquisition of Marvelon and Mercilon will together offset nan expected VBP effect to our China business successful 2023. We are highly proud of our 2022 achievements, and I want to convey our 10,000 founders worldwide for rising together for surviving our intent and for delivering nan occurrence Organon had successful our first afloat twelvemonth arsenic a stand-alone company. I'd for illustration to now move nan telephone complete to Matt. Thank you.

Matthew Walsh

Thanks, Kevin. Before I talk successful much extent astir our results, I'll punctual you that we haven't wholly lapped nan June 2021 rotation transaction arsenic acold arsenic financial reporting is concerned. So while our 2022 3rd and 4th quarters are apples-to-apples pinch nan anterior twelvemonth periods, first half of 2022 comparability is impacted by nan carve-out ground of accounting that we needed to employment for pre-spin-off accounting periods. And that really implies much to disbursal items connected nan afloat twelvemonth income connection alternatively than revenue, and I'll telephone that retired arsenic necessary.

So pinch that opener, we'll move to Slide 7 and talk 4th fourth revenue. Fourth 4th gross was astir $1.5 billion, down 7% arsenic reported, but up 1% astatine changeless currency. And this marks our 4th consecutive 4th of changeless rate growth. We'll walk much clip talking astir nan individual drivers erstwhile we get to nan afloat year. But isolating nan 4th fourth for nan moment, we had coagulated measurement maturation successful nan period. Our cardinal maturation franchises, Women's Health and Biosimilars were nan main drivers of growth, but Established Brands besides contributed. For example, recently, we've seen peculiar spot successful Atozet successful France and Spain. And pinch immoderate generics still retired of nan marketplace successful Japan, we're getting immoderate prime up location arsenic well.

In nan 4th quarter, we had astir a $15 cardinal effect from Volume Based Procurement aliases VBP successful China, which reflects nan implementation of Round 7 successful November. The Organon merchandise that's impacted successful this information is Ezetrol, which is sold arsenic Zetia successful markets extracurricular of China. The biggest number connected this locomotion crossed is overseas speech translation, which represented an 800 ground constituent headwind to gross maturation successful nan 4th quarter. This is nan largest FX translator reporting effect of immoderate 4th successful 2022. This mightiness look counterintuitive because everyone's astir caller memories of nan U.S. dollar weakening versus astir overseas currencies. But nan numbers show that inclination started astatine nan very extremity of 2022. And fixed that northbound of 75% of our gross is extracurricular nan U.S., FX translator was a important taxable for Organon successful 2022. Our portfolio faced a important financial reporting headwind from nan strengthening U.S. dollar. And unfortunately, that move masked nan operational maturation successful section currencies that we delivered successful nan 4th fourth and successful nan afloat year.

And speaking of a afloat year, we person an identical gross span connected Slide 8. For nan afloat twelvemonth 2022, gross was astir $6.2 billion, down 2% arsenic reported but up 4% astatine changeless rate erstwhile compared to anterior year. Starting pinch nonaccomplishment of exclusivity aliases LOE, for nan afloat twelvemonth 2022, LOE effect was humble astatine astir $30 million, and it's coming chiefly from NuvaRing LOE successful nan United States. We didn't person immoderate LOE effect successful Established Brands this year. And arsenic we've said before, nan astir important LOEs facing nan Established Brands portfolio washed retired anterior to nan spin-off. And what we expect going guardant is simply a cumulative fewer 100 cardinal dollars of effect complete nan adjacent respective years.

The afloat twelvemonth effect from VBP of astir $20 cardinal chiefly reflects nan November implementation of Round 7, arsenic I conscionable discussed. We saw an approximate $140 cardinal effect coming from value for nan afloat twelvemonth 2022. And that's accordant pinch our anticipation that we'll proceed to spot debased single-digit value erosion connected a company-wide basis. The mostly of pricing unit continues to travel from Established Brands wherever products are taxable to mandatory yearly value reductions successful immoderate markets arsenic good arsenic from Biosimilars.

For volume, we expected to spot beardown measurement maturation during 2022 crossed our franchises, and that so happened. We saw measurement increases coming from what we telephone our maturation pillars, Nexplanon, Fertility and Biosimilars, but Established Brands besides grew measurement arsenic well. For example, Nasonex and Singulair drove spot year-on-year, Atozet grew successful Europe. And we proceed to spot important maturation successful nan China unit channel. When looking astatine Supply Other, nan approximate $70 cardinal effect chiefly represents proviso income to Merck and different 3rd parties which consists of comparatively low-margin income of pharmaceutical products nether statement manufacturing arrangements.

Last year, we signaled that nan volumes nether these arrangements would diminution successful 2022, which has been nan case. And finally, you tin spot nan important financial reporting headwind we had successful overseas speech translation. 600 ground points for nan afloat year, which again is simply a usability of much than 75% of our gross being generated extracurricular nan U.S.

The adjacent fewer slides laic retired our capacity by franchise. Kevin covered very good nan highlights, and nan quarterly and afloat twelvemonth specifications are provided successful nan supporting net materials. So I'll attraction connected topics that whitethorn beryllium applicable to your modeling arsenic we deliberation astir 2023. We'll commencement pinch Women's Health connected Slide 9.

As Kevin mentioned, Nexplanon had a beardown capacity successful 2022, was up 8% ex FX successful nan 4th and 11% for nan afloat year. In fact, we group 2 caller income records for Nexplanon successful 2022. First successful nan 3rd 4th and past again successful nan 4th quarter. As you deliberation astir quarterly phasing for adjacent year, it's worthy reminding you that successful nan 4th fourth of past year, adjacent period besides group a income grounds which was past sequentially followed by a weaker first 4th owed successful portion to nan buy-in, buyout move we thin to spot astir nan timing of value increases successful nan U.S. This is simply a move we would expect to spot again successful nan first 4th of 2023.

Turning to Biosimilars connected Slide 10. As Kevin mentioned, this franchise continues to beryllium an important maturation driver for us. We cognize investors are focused connected nan imaginable gross publication from our U.S. motorboat of Hadlima this year. Based connected our expectations for a gradual marketplace statement successful 2023 and only a partial twelvemonth gross publication fixed our July 1 launch, we expect that globally, Hadlima will correspond nary much than astir 1.5% of our consolidated 2023 revenue.

Turning to Established Brands now connected Slide 11. Here, I want to drill down into nan 4th fourth because successful summation to VBP implementation, location was different point that impacted Established Brands 4th fourth performance. In January 2023, we initiated marketplace actions for sterile suspension injectables, Diprospan and Celestone Chronodose. This was related to a acquisition constituent utilized successful nan sterile filling process astatine Organon's Heist installation successful Belgium that was wished to beryllium nonconforming.

To beryllium clear, nary merchandise value complaints aliases adverse events person been reported nor are immoderate expected. Due to nan compliance aspect, it was prudent to workout these marketplace actions and discard inventory deemed to beryllium impacted. And for reference, combined, these 2 products represented astir $165 cardinal of gross successful 2022.

Turning to Slide 12. You tin spot that this action had nan effect of reducing 4th fourth gross by $8 cardinal for imaginable income returns and we recorded a onetime inventory complaint of $36 cardinal that shows up successful costs of equipment sold. We're breaking retired nan rumor successful this mode to show that excluding nan full $44 cardinal that flows done to adjusted EBITDA, our 4th fourth adjusted EBITDA separator would person been 28.4%, very overmuch successful statement pinch what our expectations were for nan 4th fourth erstwhile we past provided guidance successful November.

We're besides showing nan afloat twelvemonth effect of reference. Since spinoff, we've been very pleased pinch our expertise to forecast our business. So while events for illustration a marketplace action were ever a imaginable consequence successful this industry, we're assured astir nan durability and diverseness of our business arsenic it relates to forecasting it.

Let's now move to cardinal P&L statement items connected Slide 13. For non-GAAP gross profit, we are excluding from costs of equipment sold, acquisition accounting amortization and onetime items related to nan spin-off. The marketplace action I conscionable discussed was nan awesome driver of nan alteration successful gross separator successful nan 4th fourth compared to nan anterior twelvemonth period.

For nan afloat year, adjusted gross separator was 65.7% compared pinch 64.7% for nan afloat twelvemonth 2021. Keep successful mind that afloat twelvemonth comparisons for items beneath nan gross statement are little meaningful because they're only genuinely comparable for nan 2nd half of nan year. That said, nan year-over-year summation successful adjusted gross separator is chiefly a consequence of little proviso income successful 2022, which transportation little margins arsenic good arsenic pre-spin allocated costs related to nan separation of Organon that occurred successful nan anterior year.

Adjusted EBITDA separator was 25.6% successful nan 4th fourth compared to 29.3% successful nan aforesaid play of past year. Adjusted EBITDA separator was 33.8% for nan afloat twelvemonth 2022 compared pinch 36.1% for nan afloat twelvemonth 2021. The diminution successful nan 4th fourth and afloat twelvemonth was a consequence of costs associated pinch nan marketplace action astatine Heist arsenic good arsenic expenses related to positioning nan institution for early growth. We've been talking astir nan value of reinvestment successful nan business to create a pipeline of caller products to thrust gross maturation for a while now. And you spot that successful higher trading and promotional costs arsenic good arsenic investigation and improvement walk associated pinch our anterior acquisitions.

As we look astatine indebtedness capitalization and leverage connected Slide 14, arsenic of December 31, 2022, we person gross slope indebtedness of $8.9 cardinal netted against rate and rate equivalents of $706 million. We ended nan twelvemonth pinch a nett leverage ratio of astir 3.8x, which ticked up from nan 3.6x we reported astatine nan extremity of nan 3rd quarter. That chiefly reflects nan operation of nan spot of nan euro and effect of nan 4th fourth 2022 results.

Given our adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2023, which I'll talk successful a moment, together pinch nan rate effect connected our euro-denominated debt, leverage is apt to beryllium stubborn successful 2023. In fact, fixed nan inevitable mathematics of this past quarter's inclusion successful our LTM EBITDA calculation during nan upcoming quarters, we could spot leverage tick higher earlier leveling backmost down by nan extremity of nan year. This doesn't person a important effect connected our superior allocation priorities, fixed nan beardown rate travel characteristics of nan business.

So let's move to Slide 15 for a infinitesimal and return a person look astatine rate flow. When we reported our 3rd 4th financials, location was still a batch of sound successful nan September year-to-date rate travel numbers stemming from immoderate transient spin-related items. This is washing out. And you tin spot that successful nan 4th quarter, our free rate travel procreation was very strong. In nan afloat twelvemonth 2022, location was astir $300 cardinal related to nonrecurring spin-related moving superior build early successful nan year. And if you callback nan chat from past quarter, we said that a bully information of that $300 cardinal was really expected successful precocious 2021, but alternatively landed successful early 2022.

With nan spin-related build mostly down america and reaching what we expect to beryllium a much normalized ebb and travel to our moving superior position, we saw a important betterment successful Q4 rate generation. The different driver was overseas speech translation. Consistent pinch weakening of nan U.S. dollar, we had a affirmative effect of $100 cardinal successful nan 4th fourth from overseas rate currency balances wrong our world liquidity guidance program. And that partially offset nan $160 cardinal headwind we had knowledgeable year-to-date September. But nan cardinal connection present is that putting speech nan $300 cardinal of moving superior build that should not repetition successful 2023, our free rate travel ex onetime costs related to nan spinoff is successful that northbound of $1 cardinal scope that we communicated astatine nan clip of nan spin. Our superior allocation priorities stay accordant pinch past communications. We will proceed to prioritize servicing nan existent dividend, followed by pursuing integrated maturation done life rhythm guidance opportunities wrong our existent portfolio of products.

Capital expenditures successful nan scope of 3% to 4% of gross remains a bully estimate for forecasting purposes. With that superior going to modernizing and increasing our accumulation capacity, standup-related investments for illustration our world ERP implementation and different strategical investments successful nan business. With these priorities satisfied, we expect to person important remaining rate travel disposable arsenic we proceed to equilibrium outer maturation opportunities against our committedness to our BB/Ba2 rating.

Having a higher leverage ratio astatine points during 2023 apt raises nan barroom connected business improvement arsenic it competes for capital. But moreover without discretionary indebtedness repayment, which we've done doubly arsenic a stand-alone company, we tin still get deals done and enactment wrong nan parameters of our standing overmuch arsenic we person been doing since nan spin-off.

Now turning to 2023 guidance connected Slide 16, wherever we item nan items driving our 2023 gross guidance scope of $6.15 cardinal to $6.45 billion.

Beginning pinch LOE, we expect an approximate $50 cardinal to $75 cardinal effect for afloat twelvemonth 2023, which reflects nan continued effect of generic title for NuvaRing. This besides includes an effect from Atozet, which will spell LOE successful Japan successful 2023 arsenic good arsenic a proviso for Dulera, wherever we expect a generic entrant sometime successful precocious 2023 aft not seeing 1 successful 2022 and aliases 2021. We expect effect from VBP to beryllium successful nan scope of $125 cardinal to $175 cardinal successful 2023, driven mostly by nan inclusion of Ezetrol successful this latest round. We expect institution -- sorry, we expect astir $75 cardinal to $125 cardinal of value erosion successful 2023.

On a full institution basis, we've been capable to stem pricing unit a small amended than we thought astatine nan commencement of past year. Over nan longer term, we would expect pricing erosion to beryllium successful nan scope of 200 to 300 ground points of headwind, and that is mostly related to mandatory pricing decreases successful definite markets and smaller LOE impacts but besides owed to merchandise mix.

So for example, arsenic Biosimilars becomes a bigger business wrong Organon that will put much unit connected price.

And for volume, we expect maturation of astir $500 cardinal to $600 cardinal for nan afloat year, successful statement pinch what we saw successful 2022. The mostly of nan measurement summation is expected to travel from our aggregate maturation pillars. Nexplanon, Biosimilars, Fertility, China Retail and to a smaller degree, caller business improvement activity, including JADA.

Given wherever FX spot rates are trending, we would expect a much humble effect from overseas speech translator successful 2023 compared pinch 2022. We're estimating an approximate $50 cardinal to $100 cardinal effect from FX for nan afloat twelvemonth which would correspond astir a 1 percent constituent headwind. That intends that our guidance scope implies changeless rate gross maturation of astir 3.5% astatine nan midpoint.

Moving to nan different components of guidance connected Slide 17. We expect adjusted gross separator to beryllium successful nan debased to mid-60% range, which is modestly little than wherever we vanished 2022. As I've talked astir previously, overmuch of nan inflationary impacts from 2022 were held successful inventory and therefore, person a greater effect to our costs of equipment sold this twelvemonth successful 2023.

On operating expenses, our ranges for SG&A and R&D arsenic a percent of income are successful statement pinch what we guided to and delivered successful 2022 and bespeak continued finance successful nan business arsenic we position it for early growth. Our estimate for R&D disbursal includes statement of show to astir $40 cardinal of IPR&D disbursal that's tied to nan $8 cardinal finance we made successful Claria Medical successful January positive an estimate for a milestone accomplishment for ebopiprant successful 2023. Any upfront payments related to early business improvement would beryllium incremental, and we would telephone that retired successful our announcement of immoderate specified transactions. Those OpEx assumptions would span you to an adjusted EBITDA separator successful nan scope of 31% to 33% for 2023.

For below-the-line items, fixed nan expanding liking complaint environment, we person accrued our estimate of liking disbursal for 2023 to astir $510 million. The knock-on effect of higher liking disbursal besides intends that we had a headdress pinch respect to liking disbursal deductibility for taxation purposes. For 2022, we really vanished connected nan debased extremity of our taxation disbursal guidance range. So for 2023, our non-GAAP effective taxation complaint scope reflects a normalization of expectations for taxation expense, positive incremental disbursal for limitation of liking disbursal deductibility.

Wrapping up nan financial discussion, 2022 was a very coagulated twelvemonth for nan company. In summation to each nan operating accomplishments Kevin mentioned, arsenic we beforehand Organon's ngo successful Women's Health, connected nan financial front, we delivered changeless rate gross maturation of 4%, which is good aligned pinch nan mid-single-digit anticipation we had for nan year. We deployed complete $200 cardinal of superior crossed 4 promising transactions to thrust early gross growth. We proactively retired $100 cardinal of debt. And we returned $290 cardinal successful rate dividends to shareholders.

We're looking guardant to 2023, wherever we expect to present continued maturation and beardown superior capacity based connected nan net guidance we're providing today.

With that, we'll now move nan telephone complete to Q&A.

Question-and-Answer Session

Operator

[Operator Instructions]. Your first mobility is from nan statement of Terence Flynn pinch Morgan Stanley.

Terence Flynn

I conjecture conscionable arsenic we deliberation astir Nexplanon connected for 2023. Can you conscionable locomotion america done really you're reasoning astir what's embedded successful guidance, some connected nan U.S. broadside and ex U.S.? And past Follistim was somewhat soft this quarter. I was conscionable wondering if there's thing of statement location and past really we should deliberation astir that merchandise connected nan guardant arsenic we spell into first half of this year?

Kevin Ali

Thanks for nan question, Terence. I'll return that. Look, arsenic we commencement to deliberation guardant successful position of what we're doing pinch Nexplanon. We're very pleased pinch 2 consecutive years of double-digit performance. Of course, we had somewhat of a beardown buy-in successful nan 4th fourth of past year. So we expect nan first 4th arsenic accustomed to beryllium a small spot soft. But ultimately, going forward, we spot really very strong, astatine slightest successful nan U.S. arsenic good arsenic ex U.S., very beardown request maturation coming successful position of expert request growth, we're capable to benignant of prime up and show now that we consciousness very bully astir nan truth that nan chances of Nexplanon continuing to increasing successful a very coagulated measurement is thing that we consciousness very bully about. Our ex U.S. business continues to turn because of nan truth that it was very deprioritized successful years past, and we person opportunities to really proceed to thrust entree and yet consciousness of Nexplanon passim nan world. And of course, erstwhile we commencement to spell extracurricular of nan U.S., you commencement to spot much benignant of a lumpiness to nan wide orders because there's a batch much tender business that's being progressive here.

Your adjacent mobility is from nan statement of Umer Raffat pinch Evercore.

Umer Raffat

Maybe a couple, if I may. First, connected 2023 guidance, could you explain really overmuch Humira successful nan number aliases not arsenic good arsenic benignant of nan ongoing China reopening and benignant of what you've baked in? I deliberation that will beryllium very helpful.

Kevin Ali

Well, we don't -- bully to talk to you, but we don't usually benignant of talk astir precisely income numbers, immoderate individual products from Humira aliases for Hadlima, but we consciousness very bully that this coming twelvemonth will beryllium a coagulated twelvemonth for Hadlima connected a fewer fronts: one, Canada and Australia proceed to do very good successful position of their wide continuing progression successful position of their performance, beardown double-digit maturation extracurricular of nan U.S. for Hadlima; and second, we'll person half a twelvemonth of Hadlima income erstwhile we're successful nan U.S. I've been saying this for immoderate time, 2023 will beryllium much of a title to get connected formularies of nan apical PBMs successful nan state arsenic good arsenic perchance immoderate of nan closed systems for illustration Kaiser, different HMOs and besides governments for illustration nan [indiscernible].

So it is thing that we consciousness very comfortable astir that we'll do good because of nan merchandise presentation. As I mentioned successful my commentary, successful position of nan introductory commentary, you really want a product, and we judge nan products that are going to triumph are ones that are nan closest to nan originator. We are astir arsenic adjacent arsenic 1 tin get successful position of having nan precocious attraction citrate-free, debased concentration. We're talking astir nan frictionless acquisition pinch nan instrumentality and pen, beardown ex U.S. real-world grounds truthful that PBMs tin consciousness comfortable astir nan information and information of what they're utilizing successful position of this product. So we consciousness very bully astir Hadlima going guardant successful position of what we're doing there.

And regarding China coming back, look, we've sewage really bully maturation drivers successful China. As I mentioned earlier to Terence, we've sewage Fertility recovering, we've sewage nan Marvelon business that is continuing to really ramp up very, very well. We've sewage nan unit business starting to travel backmost online because group are coming backmost to that. We've sewage nan online business going very well. So that will offset immoderate of nan large headwinds that we're facing pinch nan seventh information and ultimately, hopefully, we'll spot what happens successful nan eighth information that is estimated for nan Q2 period. But we consciousness very bully that we'll beryllium capable to offset. And we've ne'er had a twelvemonth correct now precocious pinch nan caller rounds of VBP wherever we've really started to spot a decline. We proceed to turn successful China. And arsenic we get done 2023, we estimate anyplace betwixt 70% to 80% of our business will person gone done nan volume-based procurement business -- procurement's impact. And past we spot growth, really beardown robust maturation aft 2023. So 2024 and beyond, don't beryllium amazed if you commencement to spot precocious single-digit, debased double-digit capacity coming retired of China.

Umer Raffat

Kevin, sorry, if I whitethorn conscionable clarify. I deliberation connected China, was. So I understand astir of nan products person gone done VBP. I conjecture what I was getting astatine was nan gait of VBP rollout sewage paused during COVID successful China. So pinch Zetia [indiscernible] astir $300 cardinal tally complaint by [indiscernible], et cetera. I'm conscionable trying to understand really are you guys reasoning astir measurement down connected these benignant of $300 million, $400 cardinal franchises successful China arsenic rollout resumes connected nan antecedently conducted VBP? And what's connected nan guidance?

Kevin Ali

Yes. Well, look, I mean, you bring up a bully point. The Round 7 was delayed by a fewer quarters. And truthful ultimately, that benefited america past twelvemonth from Ezetrol business successful China. Now it efficaciously went into effect November. So we are seeing nan expected erosion of Ezetrol arsenic we speak correct now, astir apt astir a $90 cardinal headwind this twelvemonth from volume-based procurement for Ezetrol successful China. The remaining products that we expect to spell done volume-based procurement Round 8 and Round 9, fundamentally are overmuch smaller products. They're location successful nan $40 cardinal range.

So if that -- arsenic you say, if location is nan opportunity that those get delayed because of further ongoing COVID infections aliases immoderate could beryllium nan things that travel arsenic a consequence of what's happened past year, past nan upside won't beryllium awesome at, say, for example, nan hold that we saw pinch Ezetrol. That's why I mentioned it could beryllium anyplace between, say, 70% and 80%, depending connected those rounds happening successful nan 2nd and 4th quarter, but they're overmuch smaller products. So we went done astir of nan rounds that person benignant of deed nan large products person already happened. Does that reply your question, Umer?

Umer Raffat

Thank you truthful much, Kevin.

Matthew Walsh

Kevin, conscionable to quickly revisit for Umer's benefit. In nan prepared comments, backmost to Hadlima for a second, Umer, we did opportunity worldwide income would not transcend astir 1.5 points of Organon's consolidated revenue.

And tin you stock really galore wellness attraction professionals do you expect to train this year? And also, americium I correct that location was nary Nexplanon tender successful nan 4th fourth extracurricular of nan U.S. and do you expect a tender successful Q1? And past separately, do you person a nett leverage target that you tin share? And could we spot immoderate word indebtedness prepayment successful 2023?

Kevin Ali

So fto maine commencement pinch nan Nexplanon questions. You're right, Navann, successful Q4 of '21, we saw a large tender from Mexico. That tender came done successful Q3 of '22. So that's why you didn't spot really nan tender business for nan ex U.S. business successful Q4. We do expect astir apt successful nan Q3, Q4 clip frame, much of nan tender business benignant of ramping up successful nan emerging markets, whether that beryllium successful Mexico aliases Brazil and others. So you look for that astir apt successful nan 2nd half of this year, we'll commencement to spot bigger tender activities coming done successful nan year. In regards to Nexplanon and benignant of nan station Roe v.

Those that are benignant of much benignant of protective of nan opportunities are astir apt mid-single-digit maturation rates correct now, astatine slightest that's what we saw station nan determination versus pre. So I do spot that there's opportunities to proceed to grow. I've ever felt that, that erstwhile we deliberation astir what physicians and patients are going to beryllium wanting successful states wherever it's rather restrictive, I would deliberation that real-world efficacy, and I mentioned, 99% effective, you return nan decision-making retired of nan regular issues successful regards to their contraception needs. And I do consciousness that we'll proceed to spot further maturation benignant of accelerating from immoderate of these states that yet person restricted policies.

And nan past mobility successful regards to objective training programs. We did -- arsenic I mentioned, successful 2022, we trained 20,000 wellness attraction providers. Now that could beryllium physicians, nurses, PAs, galore of those. Some of those really were retraining for group that needed to benignant of get refamiliarized arsenic nan COVID lockdown -- aliases arsenic group commencement to travel backmost into nan clinics. But we'll proceed to put successful objective training programs going forward. I would opportunity there's going to beryllium an mean of anyplace betwixt 15,000 and 20,000 per twelvemonth that we'll beryllium averaging going guardant for wellness attraction providers, some caller to prescribing Nexplanon and those that request refresher trainings successful bid to beryllium capable to consciousness much comfortable pinch inserting and utilizing Nexplanon and pinch follow-on reviews.

Matthew Walsh

And I tin return nan portion of nan mobility related to leverage. So since nan spin-off, we've been soft targeting a nett leverage fig of 3.5x, nan business had worked its measurement down to that level during nan people of 2022, chiefly related to nan favorability we saw connected nan euro-denominated indebtedness arsenic nan dollar strength. And past that will -- that's 1 of nan dynamics that's reversing successful 2023. We called that retired successful nan prepared comments. But astir that 3.5x leverage target, arsenic we deliberation astir 2023, we will beryllium balancing nan benefits of voluntary indebtedness simplification against what we spot arsenic nan business improvement target scenery and our expertise to progressively self-fund our ain deals arsenic nan twelvemonth goes on, our costs of indebtedness has risen. So we will continue, I think, Navann, to behave arsenic we've done since nan rotation and we'll look to bring equilibrium to that. As I said successful nan prepared comments, nan hurdle, benignant of nan barroom has risen arsenic business improvement competes for superior against nan adjacent word and definite benefits of indebtedness reduction.

Your adjacent mobility is from nan statement of David Amsellem pinch Piper Sandler.

I had a few. First, connected nan gross span for '23 guidance. Regarding nan measurement growth, tin you talk astir nan grade to which that's coming from Established Brands? And possibly talk successful much item astir wherever nan drivers are successful Established Brands arsenic you deliberation astir volume? That's number one.

Number 2 is, I apologize if I missed this, but conscionable punctual america erstwhile you deliberation you tin get interchangeability successful nan U.S. for Hadlima and conscionable talk astir advancement towards that?

And past lastly, connected business development. I deliberation you talked astir a thin towards nan acquisition of EBITDA-generating assets. I wanted to prime your brands connected that and spot what your appetite is successful position of commercialized shape assets vis-a-vis improvement shape assets and really you're reasoning astir that?

Kevin Ali

So I tin woody -- I tin reside nan first 2 questions successful regards to volume. Where is nan measurement maturation coming successful 2023 to nan bridge. We do decidedly spot volume-based procurement -- non-volume-based procurement products. So these are -- they're not portion of nan list. So that will proceed to beryllium a driver. The unit assemblage successful China will beryllium -- proceed to beryllium a driver. Atozet continues to turn very good for america successful Europe and now successful China arsenic well. Respiratory products proceed to turn very nicely successful position of our wide measurement growth. So you spot that -- and past we've sewage immoderate of nan different smaller countries. And from a location perspective, our Latin America, Middle East, Africa and Russia business continues to turn beautiful robustly successful position of our ain measurement maturation opportunities. So location are continuing measurement maturation chances that we'll spot that proceed for Established Brands. And then, of course, we talked astir immoderate of nan downsides successful regards to nan China VBP rounds that -- yet offset immoderate of nan maturation opportunities that we person for volume.

The 2nd mobility that you had was, I believe, astir -- what was it? The interchangeability, yes. So interchangeability, we expect that to travel astir apt Q2, Q3 2024, truthful astir apt -- virtually 1 twelvemonth aft motorboat arsenic of July of this year, which is really astir nan scope of wherever everybody -- astatine slightest galore of nan awesome competitors are going to person their interchangeability to travel through. But I want to beryllium clear, though, successful my discussions pinch galore of nan PBMs, astatine slightest successful nan first twelvemonth aliases 2, interchangeability was not a cardinal constituent of differentiation. As agelong arsenic you had it successful process, arsenic agelong arsenic you had it wrong that you could benignant of make judge that everybody understood, that you were going to beryllium capable to present into changeability wrong nan reasonable clip frame, that would benignant of put disconnected nan table. Then we started to get into galore different concepts aliases merchandise delineations that yet intends that we're overmuch much compelling for them.

Your adjacent mobility is from nan statement of Chris Schott pinch JPMorgan.

Just 2 for me. Maybe first connected Hadlima.

And past my 2nd question, and Matt, I cognize I've asked this successful nan past, but erstwhile we deliberation astir nan EBITDA margins you're laying retired for 2023, do these -- tin we benignant of deliberation astir these starting to correspond benignant of a trough level of margins and that -- arsenic possibly apical statement maturation continues complete nan adjacent fewer years, we could commencement to spot separator description from here? Or is location much finance that needs to spell successful nan business to benignant of really money that longer-term benignant of maturation ambition that you person and that possibly we request to deliberation astir margins still benignant of nether unit complete time.

Kevin Ali

Thanks, Chris. I tin woody pinch nan Hadlima question, and I'll move complete nan different mobility to Matt. Look, arsenic I mentioned before, we judge that 2023, arsenic you've seen from -- a mates of nan PBMs are fundamentally saying that they're going to allow, obviously, nan originator. There's nary preferential curen location for biosimilars. And truthful arsenic a consequence of that, erstwhile you're capable to take immoderate you want, group will apt spell to nan originator astatine slightest successful 2023. And truthful I judge that 2023 is going to beryllium astir which 2 to 3 biosimilars are going to get connected to those formularies. And past we judge that our floor plan successful position of nan precocious attraction citrate-free and nan debased attraction having nan afloat profile, real-world evidence, patient-centric device, experience, by nan way, pinch nan immunology statement aliases alternatively immunology business and our deep, heavy knowledge of rheumatology business crossed -- rheumatologists crossed nan country, positions america an incredibly beardown position to beryllium 1 of those 2 to 3 products that are going to beryllium listed connected formulary.

Now what will apt happen, obviously, successful 2023, arsenic I mentioned, this would beryllium a lighter ramp-up year. You're going to beryllium trying to fighting for formulary position. There will beryllium evidently discounts that will beryllium offered. I'm judge that nan originators will beryllium doing that successful position of benignant of being much fierce pinch discount.

Going forward, I do judge that measurement will not retract. I deliberation location will beryllium opportunities not only for nan switching of nan Humira volume, but also, I do judge that PBMs will look astatine this opportunity for different specified products, whether you're talking astir different anti-TNFs wherever nan opportunity is location to spell to a biosimilar first. So nan imaginable for measurement and also, by nan way, because of nan little price, you'll beryllium capable to get patients who weren't really fundamentally thought of for anti-TNF treatment, to beryllium utilizing now anti-TNF treatments. And truthful pinch high-quality anti-TNF biosimilars connected nan market, I deliberation measurement will beryllium there. But nan mobility is what benignant of rebates, what benignant of discounts that will beryllium provided.

Clearly, arsenic we spell guardant successful 2024 and 2025, there's going to beryllium much of an anticipation that nan originator, nan Humira will commencement to move disconnected of formularies arsenic we spot successful nan remainder of nan world. And past you'll yet spot bigger discounts being provided, but besides ultimately, nan measurement opportunities will still exist. That's nan measurement I spot it. 2023 is simply a lighter ramp-up year, formulary accession. And past '24 and '25, it will commencement to unfastened up bigger rebates, bigger discounts, but much measurement opportunities for biosimilars. Matt?

Matthew Walsh

I'll return nan 2nd portion of nan question. So this is simply a speech that has been ongoing pinch investors really since nan spin. When we launched our P&L had really 0 abstraction successful it for merchandise improvement type expenses that could thrust ongoing early gross growth. And truthful we've been slow and steadily reintroducing those arsenic nan quarters person evolved. And Chris, successful nonstop reply to your question, erstwhile I deliberation astir nan 31% to 33%, I deliberation -- and really overmuch little that mightiness go, it depends connected really nan -- really and what benignant of business improvement that we do. But I would say, arsenic we look astatine nan scope for 2023, nan debased broadside of that scope is starting to consciousness for illustration nan nadir. Because astatine that -- astatine EBITDA margins for illustration that, we've sewage R&D arsenic a percent of gross that's correct successful that 9% to 10% range. We've sewage promotional-type expenses built into our SG&A that commencement to consciousness sustainable and ongoing.

It's accordant to what we fundamentally person guided and nan connection that we've used.
