Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Background and Nature of Operations	Background and Nature of Operations Organon & Co. (“Organon” or the "Company") is a global health care company formed through a spinoff from Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”) to focus on improving the health of women throughout their lives. Organon develops and delivers innovative health solutions through a portfolio of prescription therapies within women's health, biosimilars and established brands (the "Organon Products"). Organon has a portfolio of more than 60 medicines and products across a range of therapeutic areas. The Company sells 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. The Company operates six manufacturing facilities, which are located in Belgium, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom ("UK"). Unless otherwise indicated, trademarks appearing in italics throughout this document are trademarks of, or are used under license by, the Organon group of companies. The Company’s operations include the following product portfolios: • Women’s Health: the Company has a portfolio of contraception and fertility brands, such as Nexplanon® (etonogestrel implant) (sold as Implanon NXT™ in some countries outside the US), a long-acting reversible contraceptive, which is a class of contraceptives that are recognized as the most effective type of hormonal contraception available to patients with a lower long-term average cost. • Biosimilars: the Company’s current portfolio spans across immunology and oncology treatments. All five of the biosimilars in Organon’s portfolio have launched in certain countries globally, including two biosimilars in the United States. • Established Brands: the Company has a portfolio of established brands, which generally are beyond market exclusivity, including leading brands in cardiovascular, respiratory, dermatology and non-opioid pain management. On June 2, 2021, Organon and Merck entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"). Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Merck agreed to spin off the Organon Products into Organon, a new, publicly-traded company (the "Separation"). In connection with the Separation, on June 2, 2021, Merck distributed (the "Distribution"), on a pro rata basis, to holders of the outstanding shares of common stock of Merck, par value $0.50 per share (the "Merck Common Stock") on May 17, 2021 (the "Record Date"), all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Organon (the "Common Stock"). Each Merck stockholder was entitled to receive one-tenth of a share of the Common Stock for each share of Merck Common Stock held on the Record Date. Organon is now a standalone publicly-traded company and, on June 3, 2021, regular-way trading of the Common Stock commenced on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "OGN." The Separation was completed pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements with Merck related to the Separation, including, but not limited to a tax matters agreement (the "Tax Matters Agreement" or "TMA"), an employee matters agreement (the "Employee Matters Agreement" or "EMA") and a transition services agreement (the "Transition Service Agreement" or "TSA"). Following the Separation, certain functions continue to be provided by Merck under the TSA or are being performed using the Company’s own resources or third-party service providers. Under the TSA, Merck is providing Organon various services and, similarly, Organon is providing Merck various services. The provision of services under the TSA generally will terminate within 25 months following the spin-off; however, the provision of certain services has been extended to 31 months. Additionally, under manufacturing and supply agreements, the Company manufactures certain products for Merck, or its applicable affiliate and Merck manufactures certain products for the Company or its applicable affiliate (see Note 14 for additional details). The Company incurred certain costs in its establishment as a standalone public company and expects to incur ongoing additional costs associated with operating as an independent, publicly-traded company.

Basis of Presentation

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of PresentationThe unaudited financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to June 2, 2021, are referred to as "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Organon have been eliminated. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Organon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Prior to the Separation on June 2, 2021, the Company’s historical Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from Merck’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the Company were reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on a historical cost basis, as included in the consolidated financial statements of Merck, using the historical accounting policies applied by Merck, following a legal entity approach. For such periods prior to the Separation, certain corporate and shared costs were allocated to the Company based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification was not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method. Refer to Note 2 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K for additional details on Organon's basis of presentation during periods prior to the Separation, at Separation and post Separation. The Company’s historical results prior to the Separation included certain Merck non-U.S. legal entities that were conveyed to Organon in connection with the Separation (collectively, the "Transferred Entities" and each, a "Transferred Entity") and included operations related to other Merck products that were retained by Merck (the "Merck Retained Products"). The Merck Retained Products business of the Transferred Entities was contributed by the Company to Merck and its affiliates and any remaining assets and liabilities were transferred as of June 2, 2021. Accordingly, the historical results of operations of the Merck Retained Products have been reflected as discontinued operations in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For periods prior to the Separation, income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income was calculated on a separate tax return basis and the Company’s operations were included in the tax returns of certain legal entities established to operate the Organon Products business (the "Organon Entities"), Transferred Entities, or the respective Merck entities of which the Company’s business was a part. As of June 2, 2021, and in connection with the Separation, the Company adjusted its deferred tax balances and computed its related tax provision to reflect operations as a standalone entity. As a standalone entity, the Company files tax returns on its own behalf, and tax balances and effective income tax rates may differ from the amounts reported in the historical periods. Certain assets and liabilities, including accounts receivables, inventories and trade payables included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet prior to the Separation, were retained by Merck post-Separation and therefore were recorded through Net investment from Merck & Co., Inc. in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As part of the Separation, Net investment from Merck & Co., Inc. was reclassified to Common Stock and Accumulated Deficit. Use of Estimates The presentation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported, as further described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from management's estimates and assumptions. Due to the significant uncertainty that exists relative to the duration and overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our future operating performance, particularly in the short-term, may be subject to volatility. The assessment of certain accounting matters and specifically its effect on the Company's results require consideration of forecasted financial information in the context of the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as of June 30, 2022 and through the date of this report. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards There were no recently issued accounting standards adopted by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Refer to Note 3 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Organon's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for standards adopted in 2021. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an amendment to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This amendment eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors that have adopted the new credit losses guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 326 ("ASC 326") and requires enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The new guidance also requires public business entities to present gross write-offs by year of origination in their vintage disclosures. The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendment applied prospectively, except for the recognition and remeasurement of troubled debt restructurings. Entities can elect to adopt the guidance on troubled debt restructurings using either a prospective or modified retrospective transition. If an entity elects to apply a modified retrospective transition, it will record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2021, the FASB issued new guidance requiring disclosures about transactions with a government that have been accounted for by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model. The guidance increases transparency about the types of transactions, the accounting for the transactions, and the effect of the transactions to the Company’s financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods in 2022 and can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued guidance to improve the accounting for contract assets and contract liabilities from acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. The guidance addresses diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the recognition of an acquired contract liability, payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by an acquirer. The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023 and its amendments will be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the guidance. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period and subject to different transition requirements. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for prior acquisitions; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent upon the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations. In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting and subsequently issued clarifying amendments. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied on a prospective basis at any time between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Samsung Collaboration	Samsung Collaboration The Company has an agreement with Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. ("Samsung Bioepis") to develop and commercialize multiple pre-specified biosimilar candidates, which have since launched and are part of the Company’s product portfolio. Under the agreement, Samsung Bioepis is responsible for preclinical and clinical development, process development and manufacturing, clinical trials and registration of product candidates, and the Company has an exclusive license for worldwide commercialization with certain geographic exceptions specified on a product-by-product basis. The Company’s access rights to each product under the agreement last for 10 years from each product’s launch date on a market-by-market basis. Gross profits are shared equally in all markets with the exception of Brazil where gross profits are shared 65% to Samsung Bioepis and 35% to the Company. Since the Company is the principal on sales transactions with third parties, the Company recognizes sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses on a gross basis. Generally, profit sharing adjustments are recorded either to Cost of sales (after commercialization) or Selling, general and administrative expenses (prior to commercialization). Samsung Bioepis is eligible for additional payments associated with pre-specified clinical and regulatory milestones. As of June 30, 2022, potential future regulatory milestone payments of $25 million remain under the agreement.

Acquisitions and Licensing Arrangements	Acquisitions and Licensing Arrangements Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. ("Henlius") In June 2022, Organon and Henlius, a global biopharmaceutical company, entered into a definitive agreement whereby Organon will license commercialization rights for biosimilar candidates referencing Perjeta® (pertuzumab, HLX11), (a trademark of Genentech, Inc.), used for the treatment of certain patients with HER2+ breast cancer in combinations with trastuzumab and chemotherapy and Prolia®/Xgeva® (denosumab, HLX14), (trademarks of Amgen Inc.) used for the treatment of certain patients with osteoporosis with high risk of fracture and for the prevention of skeletal-related events in patients with multiple myeloma and in patients with bone metastasis from solid tumors. Organon will acquire exclusive global commercialization rights except for China; including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The agreement includes an option to negotiate an exclusive license for global commercialization rights for a biosimilar candidate referencing Yervoy® (ipilimumab, HLX13) (a trademark of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company). Ipilimumab is used for the treatment of certain patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, as adjuvant treatment of certain patients with cutaneous melanoma, certain patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma, Colorectal Cancer, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma and Esophageal Cancer. Under the terms of the license agreement, Organon paid a $73 million upfront payment during the third quarter of 2022, of which $3 million was reflected in Other current assets. Henlius is eligible to receive potential developmental, regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $468 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company determined that certain developmental milestones were probable of occurrence and recognized $97 million reflecting the $70 million upfront payment and $27 million related to development milestones as Acquired in-process research and development and milestones . The remaining potential milestone payments will be recognized by Organon when achievement of the contractual milestones is probable. Henlius will be responsible for development and, if approved, will supply the products to Organon. Daré Bioscience, Inc. ("Daré") In March 2022, Organon and Daré, a leader in women’s health innovation, entered into an agreement whereby Organon licensed the global commercial rights to Xaciato® (clindamycin phosphate vaginal gel, 2%). Xaciato is an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in females 12 years of age and older. Xaciato received both Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) and Fast Track designations from the FDA for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. Under the terms of the license agreement, Organon paid a $10 million upfront payment during the third quarter of 2022. Daré is eligible to receive potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $182.5 million and tiered double-digit royalties based on net sales. Xaciato is expected to be available commercially in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2022. As of June 30, 2022 management determined that the first commercial milestone was deemed probable of occurring, and recognized an intangible asset of $12.5 million reflecting the $10 million upfront payment and $2.5 million commercial milestone. The intangible asset will be amortized over its useful life of 12 years. The remaining potential milestone payments will be recognized by Organon when achievement of the contractual milestones is probable. Bayer AG In February 2022, Organon acquired the product rights and related inventory from Bayer AG to Marvelon ™ (ethinylestradiol, desogestrel) and Mercilon ™ (ethinylestradiol, desogestrel), combined oral hormonal daily contraceptive pills, in the People’s Republic of China, including Hong Kong and Macau, and has entered into an agreement to acquire the rights to these products in Vietnam. Marvelon and Mercilon are already owned, manufactured, and marketed by Organon as prescription oral contraceptives in 20 other markets. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. In the first quarter of 2022, Organon paid $30 million to acquire the product rights and inventory in China and accrued an additional $35 million related to these rights which was paid during the second quarter of 2022. This resulted in Organon recognizing an intangible asset of $42 million related to the product rights with the remainder of the consideration recorded to Inventories for the fair value of acquired inventory during the first quarter of 2022. The intangible assets related to currently marketed products will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of 10 years. The transaction to acquire the rights to these products in Vietnam closed in the third quarter of 2022. For details regarding Organon's 2021 acquisitions and licensing agreements, See Note 5 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments Foreign Currency Risk Management The Company has a balance sheet risk management and a net investment hedging program to mitigate against volatility of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company uses a balance sheet risk management program to mitigate the exposure of net monetary assets of its subsidiaries that are denominated in a currency other than a subsidiary’s functional currency from the effects of volatility in foreign exchange. In these instances, Organon principally utilizes forward exchange contracts to offset the effects of exchange on exposures denominated in developed country currencies, primarily the euro, Swiss franc and Japanese yen. For exposures in developing country currencies, the Company enters into forward contracts to partially offset the effects of exchange on exposures when it is deemed economical to do so based on a cost-benefit analysis that considers the magnitude of the exposure, the volatility of the exchange rate and the cost of the hedging instrument. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a given subsidiary are remeasured at spot rates in effect on the balance sheet date with the effects of changes in spot rates reported in Other (income) expense, net . The forward contracts are not designated as hedges and are marked to market through Other (income) expense, net. Accordingly, fair value changes in the forward contracts help mitigate the changes in the value of the remeasured assets and liabilities attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, except to the extent of the spot-forward differences. These differences are not significant due to the short-term nature of the contracts, which typically have average maturities at inception of less than one year. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of these contracts was recorded as an asset of $28 million and $19 million, respectively, in Other current assets and a liability of $7 million and $5 million, respectively, in Accrued and other current liabilities. The notional amount of forward contracts was $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2022 and $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2021. The cash flows from these contracts are reported as operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of economic hedges on foreign currency debt (see Note 7). In each quarter subsequent to the Separation, €1.75 billion in the aggregate of both the euro-denominated term loan (€750 million) and of the 2.875% euro-denominated secured notes (€1.25 billion) has been designated and is effective as an economic hedge of the net investment in euro-denominated subsidiaries. As a result, $90 million, $127 million, $56 million and $56 million of foreign currency gains due to spot rate fluctuations on the euro-denominated debt instruments are included in foreign currency translation adjustments in Other Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income includes the impact of actual net gains and losses of Organon's derivative financial instruments, as well as the impact of Merck’s derivative financial instruments prior to the Separation allocated to the Company utilizing a proportional allocation method: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Allocated net (gains) loss in Revenues $ — $ 23 $ — $ 55 Foreign exchange (gains) loss in Other (income) expense, net (21) 9 (25) 5 Prior to the Separation, Merck managed the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on its affiliates’ earnings, cash flows and fair values of assets and liabilities through operational means and through the use of various financial instruments, including derivative instruments. Merck established revenue hedging and balance sheet risk management programs that the Company participated in to protect against the volatility of future foreign currency cash flows and changes in fair value caused by volatility in exchange rates. Organon has established accounts receivable factoring agreements with financial institutions in certain countries to sell accounts receivable. Under these agreements, Organon factored $78 million and $87 million of accounts receivable during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which reduced outstanding accounts receivable. The cash received from the financial institutions is reported within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In June 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Senior Credit Agreement”) providing for a Term Loan B Facility, consisting of (i) a U.S. Dollar-denominated senior secured “tranche B” term loan in the amount of $3.0 billion due 2028 (ii) a euro-denominated senior secured “tranche B” term loan in the amount of €750 million due 2028; and a Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1 billion, with a five-year term that matures in 2026. The interest rate on revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a step-down based on meeting a leverage ratio target. A commitment fee applies to the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, initially equal to 0.50% and subject to a step-down to 0.375% based on meeting a leverage ratio target. There were no outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The estimated fair value of long-term debt (including current portion) as of June 30, 2022 was $8.1 billion compared with a carrying value (which includes a reduction for amortized debt issuance costs) of $8.9 billion and, at December 31, 2021, was $9.4 billion compared with a carrying value of $9.1 billion. Fair value was estimated using inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability and would be considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company made interest payments of $179 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 related to its debt instruments. The average maturity of the Company's long-term debt as of June 30, 2022 is approximately 6.5 years and the weighted-average interest rate on total borrowings as of June 30, 2022 is 4.0%. On June 6, 2022, the Company made a discretionary prepayment of $100 million on the U.S. Dollar-denominated term loan. The schedule of principal payments required on long-term debt for the next five years and thereafter is as follows: ($ in millions) 2022 $ 2 2023 9 2024 9 2025 9 2026 12 Thereafter 8,965 The Senior Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants, including a total leverage ratio covenant, which measures the ratio of (i) consolidated total debt to (ii) consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and subject to other adjustments, that must meet certain defined limits which are tested on a quarterly basis. In addition, the Senior Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit, among other things, Organon’s ability to prepay, redeem or repurchase its subordinated and junior lien debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase equity interests, and create or become subject to liens. As of June 30, 2022, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants and no default or event of default has occurred.

Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies Organon is involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature considered normal to its business, including product liability, intellectual property, and commercial litigation, as well as certain additional matters including governmental and environmental matters. In the opinion of Organon as of June 30, 2022, it is unlikely that the resolution of these matters will be material to Organon's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Given the nature of the litigation discussed in this note and the complexities involved in these matters, Organon is unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss for such matters until Organon knows, among other factors, (i) what claims, if any, will survive dispositive motion practice, (ii) the extent of the claims, including the size of any potential class, particularly when damages are not specified or are indeterminate, (iii) how the discovery process will affect the litigation, (iv) the settlement posture of the other parties to the litigation, and (v) any other factors that may have a material effect on the litigation. Organon records accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available. Individually significant contingent losses are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable. Legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable. Organon's decision to obtain insurance coverage is dependent on market conditions, including cost and availability, existing at the time such decisions are made. Organon has evaluated its risks and has determined that the cost of obtaining product liability insurance outweighs the likely benefits of the coverage that is available and, as such, has no insurance for most product liabilities. Reference is made below to certain litigation in which Merck, but not Organon, is named as a defendant. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Organon is required to indemnify Merck for liabilities relating to, arising from, or resulting from such litigation. Product Liability Litigation Fosamax Merck is a defendant in product liability lawsuits in the United States involving Fosamax® (alendronate sodium) (the "Fosamax Litigation"). As of June 30, 2022, approximately 3,450 cases comprising the Fosamax Litigation are pending against Merck in either federal or state court. Plaintiffs in the vast majority of these cases generally allege that they sustained femur fractures and/or other bone injuries ("Femur Fractures") in association with the use of Fosamax . All federal cases involving allegations of Femur Fractures have been or will be transferred to a multidistrict litigation in the District of New Jersey ("Femur Fracture MDL"). In the only bellwether case tried to date in the Femur Fracture MDL, Glynn v. Merck , the jury returned a verdict in Merck's favor. In addition, in June 2013, the Femur Fracture MDL court granted Merck's motion for judgment as a matter of law in the Glynn case and held that the plaintiff's failure to warn claim was preempted by federal law. In August 2013, the Femur Fracture MDL court entered an order requiring plaintiffs in the Femur Fracture MDL to show cause why those cases asserting claims for a femur fracture injury that took place prior to September 14, 2010, should not be dismissed based on the court's preemption decision in the Glynn case. Pursuant to the show cause order, in March 2014, the Femur Fracture MDL court dismissed with prejudice approximately 650 cases on preemption grounds. Plaintiffs in approximately 515 of those cases appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ("Third Circuit"). In March 2017, the Third Circuit issued a decision reversing the Femur Fracture MDL court's preemption ruling and remanding the appealed cases back to the Femur Fracture MDL court. In May 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that the Third Circuit had incorrectly concluded that the issue of preemption should be resolved by a jury, and accordingly vacated the judgment of the Third Circuit and remanded the proceedings back to the Third Circuit to address the issue in a manner consistent with the Supreme Court's opinion. In November 2019, the Third Circuit remanded the cases back to the District Court in order to allow that court to determine in the first instance whether the plaintiffs' state law claims are preempted by federal law under the standards described by the Supreme Court in its opinion. On March 23, 2022, the District Court granted Merck's motion and ruled that Plaintiffs' failure to warn claims are preempted as a matter of law to the extent they assert that Merck should have added a Warning or Precaution regarding atypical femur fractures prior to October 2010. On July 11, 2022, the District Court entered an Order to Show Cause as to why the Court should not dismiss either with prejudice or conditionally all of Plaintiffs' claims that are not dependent on the preempted failure to warn claims. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, approximately 975 cases were actively pending in the Femur Fracture MDL. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 2,195 cases alleging Femur Fractures have been filed in New Jersey state court and are pending in Middlesex County. The parties selected an initial group of cases to be reviewed through fact discovery, and Merck has continued to select additional cases to be reviewed. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 275 cases alleging Femur Fractures have been filed and are pending in California state court. All of the Femur Fracture cases filed in California state court have been coordinated before a single judge in Orange County, California. Additionally, there are four Femur Fracture cases pending in other state courts. Discovery is presently stayed in the Femur Fracture MDL and in the state court in California. Nexplanon/Implanon Merck is a defendant in lawsuits brought by individuals relating to the use of Nexplanon and Implanon™ (etonogestrel implant). In the United States, as of June 30, 2022, there was one filed product liability action involving Nexplanon pending in the Western District of Arkansas (in which Organon is also named as a defendant). The court's schedule for the matter provides for a trial date in the fourth quarter of 2023, should it be necessary. In addition, there were two filed product liability actions involving Implanon , both of which are pending in the Northern District of Ohio as well as 56 unfiled cases involving Implanon alleging similar injuries, which have been tolled under a written tolling agreement. As of June 30, 2022, Merck had 18 cases pending outside the United States, of which 14 relate to Implanon and four relate to Nexplanon . Propecia/Proscar Merck is a defendant in product liability lawsuits in the United States involving Propecia® (finasteride) and/or Proscar® (finasteride). The federal lawsuits were consolidated for pretrial purposes in federal multidistrict litigation in the Eastern District of New York (the "MDL"), and the matters in state court in New Jersey were consolidated in Middlesex County ("N.J. Coordinated Proceedings"). In 2018, Merck and the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee in the MDL and the Plaintiffs' Liaison Counsel in the N.J. Coordinated Proceedings entered into an agreement to resolve the lawsuits for an aggregate amount of $4.3 million. The settlement was subject to certain contingencies, including 95% plaintiff participation and a per plaintiff clawback if the participation rate was less than 100%. The contingencies were satisfied and the settlement agreement has been finalized. As of June 30, 2022, only three cases remain pending in the United States, (1) a case currently pending in the MDL; (2) a matter involving Propecia in state court in Los Angeles, California in which Merck's motion for summary judgment was granted and subsequently appealed; and (3) a matter involving Proscar in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California in which Merck's motion to dismiss was granted by the District Court. In this case, the plaintiff can appeal the decision. The Company is also defending 17 product liability cases outside the United States, two of which are class actions and four of which are putative class actions. Governmental Proceedings From time to time, Organon's subsidiaries may receive inquiries and may be the subject of preliminary investigation activities from competition and/or other governmental authorities, including in markets outside the United States. These authorities may include regulators, administrative authorities, and law enforcement and other similar officials, and these preliminary investigation activities may include site visits, formal or informal requests or demands for documents or materials, inquiries or interviews and similar matters. Certain of these preliminary inquiries or activities may lead to the commencement of formal proceedings. Should those proceedings be determined adversely to Organon, monetary fines and/or remedial undertakings may be required. Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Organon assumed liability for all pending and threatened legal matters related to products transferred to Organon, including competition investigations resulting from enforcement activity concerning Merck's conduct involving Organon's products. Organon could be obligated to indemnify Merck for fines or penalties, or a portion thereof, resulting from such investigations. Organon is aware of one such enforcement activity pending in Europe. Hadlima™ (adalimumab-bwwd) In July 2021, Organon received a Civil Investigation Demand ("CID") from the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Washington. The CID requests answers to interrogatories, as well as various documents, regarding certain activities related to adalimumab and adalimumab biosimilars. Organon is cooperating with the government's investigation and has produced information in response to the CID. Patent Litigation From time to time, generic manufacturers of pharmaceutical products file Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDAs") with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") seeking to market generic forms of Organon's products prior to the expiration of relevant patents owned by Organon. To protect its patent rights, Organon may file patent infringement lawsuits against such generic companies. Similar lawsuits defending Organon's patent rights may exist in other countries. Organon intends to vigorously defend its patents, which it believes are valid, against infringement by companies attempting to market products prior to the expiration of such patents. As with any litigation, there can be no assurance of the outcomes, which, if adverse, could result in significantly shortened periods of exclusivity for these products, potential payment of damages and legal fees, and, with respect to products acquired through acquisitions, potentially significant intangible asset impairment charges. Nexplanon In June 2017, Microspherix LLC ("Microspherix") sued Organon in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting that the manufacturing, use, sale and importation of Nexplanon infringed several of Microspherix's patents that claim radio-opaque, implantable drug delivery devices. Microspherix is claiming damages from September 2014 until the patents expired in May 2021. Organon brought Inter Partes Review ("IPR") proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") and successfully stayed the district court action. The USPTO invalidated some, but not all, of the claims asserted against Organon. Organon appealed the decisions that found claims valid, and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the USPTO's decisions. The matter is no longer stayed in the district court, and Organon is currently litigating the invalidity and non-infringement of the remaining asserted claims. A claim construction hearing was held on March 2, 2022, and any further dates in the schedule will be set based on the date the court issues a claim construction order. Other Litigation There are various other pending legal proceedings involving Organon, principally product liability and intellectual property lawsuits. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of Organon as of June 30, 2022, either the likelihood of loss is remote or any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to be material to Organon's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows either individually or in the aggregate. Legal Defense Reserves Legal defense costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable. Some of the significant factors considered in the review of these legal defense reserves are as follows: the actual costs incurred by Organon; the development of Organon's legal defense strategy and structure in light of the scope of its litigation; the number of cases being brought against Organon; and the costs and outcomes of completed trials and the most current information regarding anticipated timing, progression, and related costs of pre-trial activities and trials in the associated litigation. The legal defense reserve as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $13 million and $9 million, respectively, and represented Organon's best estimate of the minimum amount of defense costs to be incurred in connection with its outstanding litigation; however, events such as additional trials and other events that could arise in the course of its litigation could affect the ultimate amount of legal defense costs to be incurred by Organon. Organon will continue to monitor its legal defense costs and review the adequacy of the associated reserves and may determine to increase the reserves at any time in the future if, based upon the factors set forth, it believes it would be appropriate to do so.

Stock-based Compensation Plans

Stock-based Compensation Plans	6 Months Ended

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation Plans	Stock-Based Compensation Plans The Company grants stock option awards, performance share units ("PSUs") and restricted share units ("RSUs") pursuant to its 2021 Incentive Stock Plan. Employee stock options are granted to purchase shares of Company stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Generally, stock options have a contractual term of ten years and vest one-third each year over a three-year period, subject to limited exceptions. RSUs are stock awards that are granted to employees and entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the awards vest. RSU awards generally vest one-third each year over a three-year period. The fair value of the stock option and RSU awards is determined and fixed on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price. The terms of the Company's PSU awards allow the recipients of such awards to earn a variable number of shares based on total stockholder return of the Company relative to an index of peer companies ("relative TSR") specified in the awards. For PSUs with a market-based relative TSR goal, stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date regardless of the actual number of shares earned. PSU awards generally vest after three years. For RSUs and PSUs, dividends declared during the vesting period are payable to the employees only upon vesting. RSU and PSU distributions will be in shares of Company stock after the end of the vesting or performance period, subject to the terms applicable to such awards. Stock-based compensation expense incurred by the Company was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Stock-based compensation expense recognized in: Cost of sales $ 3 $ 3 $ 6 $ 5 Selling, general and administrative 13 11 23 16 Research and development 3 4 5 8 Income tax benefits 4 4 7 6 The Company used the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the stock options as of the grant date using the following assumptions: Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Expected dividend yield 3.12 % Risk-free interest rate 2.47 % Expected volatility 43.43 % Expected life (years) 5.89 A summary of the equity award transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows: Stock Options Restricted Share Units Performance Share Units (shares in thousands) Shares Weighted average exercise price Weighted average grant date fair value Shares Weighted average grant date fair value Shares Weighted average grant date fair value Outstanding as of January 1, 2022 4,394 $ 34.35 $ 8.63 3,280 $ 36.69 120 $ 51.63 Granted 556 $ 34.93 $ 11.34 2,273 $ 34.91 — $ — Vested/Exercised (15) $ 37.39 $ 9.72 (1,196) $ 37.49 — $ — Forfeited/Cancelled — $ — $ — (86) $ 35.82 — $ — Outstanding as of June 30, 2022 4,935 $ 34.40 $ 8.93 4,271 $ 35.54 120 $ 51.63 The following table summarizes information about equity awards outstanding that are vested and expected to vest and equity awards outstanding that are exercisable as of June 30, 2022: Equity Awards Vested and Expected to Vest Equity Awards That are Exercisable (shares in thousands; aggregate intrinsic value in millions) Awards Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Remaining Term Awards Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Remaining Term Stock Options 4,693 $ 34.40 $ 6 7.78 2,429 $ 32.98 $ 6 6.49 Restricted Share Units 3,913 145 2.24 Performance Share Units 211 8 2.13 The amount of unrecognized compensation costs as of June 30, 2022 was $157 million, which will be recognized in operating expense ratably over the weighted average vesting period of 2.21 years.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Taxes on Income	Taxes on IncomeThe effective income tax rates were 18.5% and 1.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 20.2% and 8.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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. During the second quarter of 2021 the Company recorded a $70 million tax benefit relating to a portion of the non- U.S. step-up of tax basis associated with the Company's Separation from Merck. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021, also reflects the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") conclusion of its examinations of Merck’s 2015-2016 U.S. federal income tax returns. As a result, the Company reflected an allocation from Merck of $18 million representing the Company's portion of the payment made to the IRS in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's portion of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits for the years under examination exceeded the allocated adjustments relating to this examination period and therefore the Company included a $29 million net tax benefit also included in the six months ended June 30, 2021. This net benefit reflects reductions in reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and other related liabilities for tax positions relating to the years that were under examination.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Third Party Arrangements Related Party Disclosures	Third Party Arrangements and Related Party Disclosures Pursuant to the Separation, Merck ceased to be a related party to Organon and accordingly, no related party transactions or balances have been reported since June 2, 2021. In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which contains provisions that, among other things, relate to (i) assets, liabilities and contracts to be transferred, assumed and assigned to each of Organon and Merck as part of the Separation, (ii) cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of the Organon business with Organon and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Merck’s remaining business with Merck, (iii) procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters, (iv) the allocation between Organon and Merck of rights and obligations under existing insurance policies with respect to occurrences prior to completion of the Distribution, as well as the right to proceeds and the obligation to incur certain deductibles under certain insurance policies, and (v) procedures governing Organon’s and Merck’s obligations and allocations of liabilities with respect to ongoing litigation matters that may implicate each of Merck’s business and Organon’s business. Organon entered into other agreements with Merck that govern aspects of Organon’s relationship with Merck following the Separation, including the Transition Services Agreement, Interim Operating Model Agreements ("IOM") agreements, Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement as well as Intellectual Property License Agreements and Regulatory Agreements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, material transactions occurred in connection with the IOM agreements. For details on the rights and responsibilities of the parties under the IOM agreements, refer below; for all other agreements refer to Note 19 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K. • IOM agreements - Merck and Organon entered into a series of IOM agreements pursuant to which Merck and certain of its affiliates that held licenses, permits and other rights in connection with marketing, import and/or distribution of Organon products in various jurisdictions prior to the Separation, will continue to market, import and distribute such products until such time as the relevant licenses and permits are transferred to Organon or its affiliates, while permitting Organon (or Merck, as applicable) to recognize revenue relating to the sale of its respective products, to the extent practicable. Under such IOM agreements and in accordance with the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the relevant Merck entity will continue operations in the affected market on behalf of Organon, with Organon receiving all of the economic benefits and burdens of such activities. Organon began receiving these economic benefits as of June 2, 2021. Based on the terms of the IOM agreements, the Company determined it is the Principal under these arrangements. Organon holds all risks and rewards of ownership inclusive of risk of loss, market risk and benefits related to the inventory. Additionally, Organon has latitude in pricing, has the ability to direct Merck regarding decisions over inventory, and is responsible for all credit and collections risks and losses associated with the related receivables. As such, Organon recognizes these sales on a gross basis. The amount due from Merck under such agreements was $434 million and $403 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is reflected in accounts receivable. The amount due to Merck under these agreements was $702 million and $928 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in accounts payable. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, sales and cost of sales resulting from the manufacturing and supply agreements with Merck were $33 million and $31 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 sales and cost of sales resulting from the manufacturing and supply agreements with Merck were $66 million and $60 million, respectively. For the period from June 2, 2021 to June 30, 2021, sales and cost of sales resulting from the manufacturing and supply agreements with Merck were $14 million and $13 million, respectively. Prior to the Separation, the Company did not operate as a standalone business and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Merck. The following disclosure summarizes activity between the Company and Merck up to the Separation, including the affiliates of Merck that were not part of the Separation. Cost allocations from Merck Merck provided significant corporate, manufacturing, selling, marketing, administrative, research services and resources to the Company. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect an allocation of these costs. Some of these services continue to be provided by Merck to the Company on a temporary basis under the Transition Services Agreement. The allocations reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for continuing operations are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Cost of sales $ — $ 13 $ — $ 69 Selling, general and administrative — 46 — 134 Research and development — 10 — 35 $ — $ 69 $ — $ 238 Management believes these cost allocations are a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit derived by, the Company during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a standalone public company at the time. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a standalone public company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by the Company’s employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as manufacturing, selling, information technology and infrastructure. Related party transactions The following transactions represent activity between Organon Entities and Transferred Entities with other Merck affiliates prior to the Separation: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Included in continuing operations Supply sales to Merck affiliates $ — $ 58 $ — $ 143 Purchases from Merck affiliates — 28 — 65 Cost reimbursements and fees from Merck affiliates — — — 1 Included in discontinued operations Supply sales to Merck affiliates $ — $ — $ — $ 12 Purchases from Merck affiliates — 3 — 53 Net transfers to Merck & Co., Inc. Prior to the Separation, net transfers to Merck were included within Net investment from Merck & Co., Inc. on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity and represent the net effect of transactions between the Company and Merck. The components of Net transfers to Merck & Co., Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2021 (1) Cash pooling and general financing activities $ 168 Cost allocations, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation (209) Taxes deemed settled with Merck (259) Allocated derivative and hedging (losses) gains (88) Net transfers (from) to Merck & Co., Inc. as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for Continuing Operations (2) $ (388) Net transfers to (from) Merck included in Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Discontinued Operations 597 Total net transfers to Merck as included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows $ 209 Stock-based compensation expense (includes $3 of discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021) (32) Net assets contributed by Merck affiliates (778) Derecognition of amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to employee benefit plan transfers to Merck affiliates 13 Net transfers (from) to Merck & Co., Inc. as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity $ (588) (1) Amounts represent activity through the date of the Separation. The components of Net transfers to Merck & Co., Inc. for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2021 Cash pooling and general financing activities $ (585) Net assets distributed to (contributed by) Merck Affiliates (838) Cost allocations (72) Income taxes deemed settled with Merck (136) Allocated derivative and hedging gains (losses) (53) Net transfers (from) to Merck & Co., Inc. as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity $ (1,684) Prior to the Separation, transfers between the Organon Entities, the Transferring Entities and Merck affiliates were recognized in Net transfers to Merck & Co., Inc. in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity at Merck’s historical cost. Additionally, in connection with the Separation, certain assets and liabilities included in the pre-Separation balance sheet were retained by Merck and certain assets and liabilities not included in the pre-Separation balance sheet were transferred to Organon. Adjustments for transfers are reflected in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Discontinued Operations	Discontinued OperationsIn contemplation of the Separation, the Merck Retained Products business in the Transferred Entities was distributed to Merck affiliates and, accordingly, the historical results of operations, assets and liabilities, and the cash flows of the Merck Retained Products for such Transferred Entities are reflected as discontinued operations. The components of Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax for the Merck Retained Products business are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Sales $ — $ 4 $ — $ 93 Costs, Expenses and Other Cost of Sales — 13 — 65 Selling, general and administrative — 1 — 15 Research and development — — — 4 Other (income) expense, net — (6) — 4 Income from discontinued operations before taxes $ — $ (4) $ — $ 5 Taxes on income — — — 5 Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes $ — $ (4) $ — $ — Discontinued operations includes related party sales of $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share On June 2, 2021, the date of the Separation, 253,516,000 shares of the Common Stock were distributed to Merck stockholders of record as of the Record Date. This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Separation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, these shares are treated as issued and outstanding as of January 1, 2021 for purposes of calculating historical basic and diluted earnings per share. Prior to the Separation, certain of the Company's employees participated in stock-based compensation plans sponsored by Merck. Under these plans employees were granted stock options, PSU's, and RSU's. On June 2, 2021, and in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement, all Merck stock options, PSUs and RSUs were converted using the conversion ratios set forth in the Employee Matters Agreement. Merck stock options, PSUs and RSUs were converted into Organon stock option awards and RSUs. Awards were equitably adjusted to reflect the spin-off and to preserve the same intrinsic value and general terms and conditions (including vesting) as were in place immediately prior to the adjustments. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions and shares in thousands, except per share amounts) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net income attributable to Organon: Income from continuing operations $ 234 $ 431 $ 582 $ 826 Income from discontinued operations — (4) — — Net income attributable to Organon $ 234 $ 427 $ 582 $ 826 Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding 254,018 253,516 253,802 253,516 Stock awards and equity units (share equivalent) 1,138 312 1,303 312 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 255,156 253,828 255,105 253,828 Earnings Per Share Attributable to Organon common stockholders - Basic Income from continuing operations $ 0.92 $ 1.70 $ 2.29 $ 3.26 Income from discontinued operations — (0.02) — — Basic earnings per common share attributable to Organon common stockholders $ 0.92 $ 1.68 $ 2.29 $ 3.26 Earnings Per Share Attributable to Organon common stockholders - Diluted Income from continuing operations 0.92 1.70 2.28 3.25 Income from discontinued operations — (0.02) — — Diluted earnings per common share attributable to Organon common stockholders $ 0.92 $ 1.68 $ 2.28 $ 3.25 For periods prior to the Separation, it is assumed that there were no dilutive equity instruments as there were no equity awards of Organon outstanding prior to the Separation. For periods subsequent to the Separation and the Distribution, diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive stock awards that are outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards, when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period beginning after June 2, 2021 (the "Distribution date"). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 4.5 million, 5.2 million, 4.5 million and 5.2 million, respectively, of common shares issuable under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the computation of earnings per common share assuming dilution because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Dividend Program During the second quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share on Organon’s stock that was paid on June 16, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 16, 2022. During each of the first quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021, the Company's Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per share on Organon's Common Stock.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting	The unaudited financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to June 2, 2021, are referred to as "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Organon have been eliminated. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Organon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Prior to the Separation on June 2, 2021, the Company’s historical Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from Merck’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the Company were reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on a historical cost basis, as included in the consolidated financial statements of Merck, using the historical accounting policies applied by Merck, following a legal entity approach. For such periods prior to the Separation, certain corporate and shared costs were allocated to the Company based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification was not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method. Refer to Note 2 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K for additional details on Organon's basis of presentation during periods prior to the Separation, at Separation and post Separation. The Company’s historical results prior to the Separation included certain Merck non-U.S. legal entities that were conveyed to Organon in connection with the Separation (collectively, the "Transferred Entities" and each, a "Transferred Entity") and included operations related to other Merck products that were retained by Merck (the "Merck Retained Products"). The Merck Retained Products business of the Transferred Entities was contributed by the Company to Merck and its affiliates and any remaining assets and liabilities were transferred as of June 2, 2021. Accordingly, the historical results of operations of the Merck Retained Products have been reflected as discontinued operations in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For periods prior to the Separation, income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income was calculated on a separate tax return basis and the Company’s operations were included in the tax returns of certain legal entities established to operate the Organon Products business (the "Organon Entities"), Transferred Entities, or the respective Merck entities of which the Company’s business was a part. As of June 2, 2021, and in connection with the Separation, the Company adjusted its deferred tax balances and computed its related tax provision to reflect operations as a standalone entity. As a standalone entity, the Company files tax returns on its own behalf, and tax balances and effective income tax rates may differ from the amounts reported in the historical periods. Certain assets and liabilities, including accounts receivables, inventories and trade payables included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet prior to the Separation, were retained by Merck post-Separation and therefore were recorded through Net investment from Merck & Co., Inc. in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As part of the Separation, Net investment from Merck & Co., Inc. was reclassified to Common Stock and Accumulated Deficit.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The presentation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported, as further described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from management's estimates and assumptions. Due to the significant uncertainty that exists relative to the duration and overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our future operating performance, particularly in the short-term, may be subject to volatility. The assessment of certain accounting matters and specifically its effect on the Company's results require consideration of forecasted financial information in the context of the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as of June 30, 2022 and through the date of this report.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards There were no recently issued accounting standards adopted by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Refer to Note 3 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Organon's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for standards adopted in 2021. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an amendment to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This amendment eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors that have adopted the new credit losses guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 326 ("ASC 326") and requires enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The new guidance also requires public business entities to present gross write-offs by year of origination in their vintage disclosures. The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendment applied prospectively, except for the recognition and remeasurement of troubled debt restructurings. Entities can elect to adopt the guidance on troubled debt restructurings using either a prospective or modified retrospective transition. If an entity elects to apply a modified retrospective transition, it will record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2021, the FASB issued new guidance requiring disclosures about transactions with a government that have been accounted for by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model. The guidance increases transparency about the types of transactions, the accounting for the transactions, and the effect of the transactions to the Company’s financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods in 2022 and can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued guidance to improve the accounting for contract assets and contract liabilities from acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. The guidance addresses diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the recognition of an acquired contract liability, payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by an acquirer. The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023 and its amendments will be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the guidance. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period and subject to different transition requirements. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for prior acquisitions; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent upon the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations. In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting and subsequently issued clarifying amendments. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied on a prospective basis at any time between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.
