Revenue
Revenue for the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 was JPY 2,384.0 billion (JPY +282.3 billion and +13.4% AER, +5.0% CER). The increase is attributable to favorable foreign exchange rates and growth from business momentum of Plasma-Derived Therapies (“PDT”), Gastroenterology (“GI”), Oncology, Rare Diseases and Vaccines. The increase of these business areas was offset in part by a decrease in Neuroscience. The decrease in Neuroscience, which was partially mitigated by favorable foreign exchange rates, was largely attributable to continued generic erosion of sales of VYVANSE (for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”)) in the U.S., which began following loss of exclusivity in August 2023. In addition, revenue outside of our six key business areas decreased mainly due to the decline in sales of AZILVA (for hypertension), which were JPY 5.8 billion (JPY -17.8 billion and -75.4% AER, -75.4% CER) following the entry of generic competitors in Japan beginning in June 2023.

Year-on-year change in revenue for this six-month period in each of our business areas was primarily attributable to the following products:
GI
In GI, revenue was JPY 695.2 billion (JPY +98.3 billion and +16.5% AER, +7.6% CER).
Sales of ENTYVIO (for ulcerative colitis (“UC”) and Crohn’s disease (“CD”)) were JPY 473.2 billion (JPY +81.5 billion and +20.8% AER, +10.7% CER). Sales in the U.S. were JPY 326.6 billion (JPY +55.5 billion and +20.5% AER). The increase was due to favorable foreign exchange rates, increased demand in the first line biologic inflammatory bowel disease (“IBD”) population and initial patient gains after the launch of the subcutaneous formulation. Sales in Europe and Canada were JPY 112.5 billion (JPY +20.5 billion and +22.3% AER). The increase was primarily due to new patient gains by an increased use of the subcutaneous formulation and favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of GATTEX/REVESTIVE (for short bowel syndrome) were JPY 73.3 billion (JPY +14.4 billion and +24.4% AER, +14.6% CER). The increase was primarily due to increased demand in the U.S., expansion activities (pediatric indication label expansion), and favorable exchange rates.

Period Ended September 30, 2024 (Consolidated)
Rare Diseases
In Rare Diseases, revenue was JPY 388.7 billion (JPY +47.8 billion and +14.0% AER, +5.3% CER).
Sales of TAKHZYRO (for hereditary angioedema) were JPY 111.0 billion (JPY +24.0 billion and +27.5% AER, +16.7% CER). The increase was primarily due to higher demand in the U.S., Europe and Canada, and favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of enzyme replacement therapy ELAPRASE (for Hunter syndrome) were JPY 53.1 billion (JPY +7.4 billion and +16.3% AER, +8.0% CER). The increase was primarily due to favorable foreign exchange rates, and strong demand in the Growth and Emerging Markets.
Sales of LIVTENCITY (for post-transplant cytomegalovirus (“CMV”) infection/disease) were JPY 15.5 billion (JPY +7.2 billion and +86.2% AER, +70.5% CER). The increase was primarily attributable to strong market penetration and successful launch performance in the U.S., complemented by continued geographical expansion in Europe and the Growth and Emerging Markets.
Sales of enzyme replacement therapy REPLAGAL (for Fabry disease) were JPY 41.3 billion (JPY +5.1 billion and +14.1% AER, +6.9% CER). The increase was due to increased demand in the Growth and Emerging Markets, complemented by favorable foreign exchange rates.
PDT
In PDT, revenue was JPY 535.7 billion (JPY +105.5 billion and +24.5% AER, +14.3% CER).
Aggregate sales of immunoglobulin products were JPY 391.0 billion (JPY +81.9 billion and +26.5% AER, +15.9% CER). Sales of each of our three global immunoglobulin brands experienced double digit percentage sales growth, due to continued strong demand globally and growing supply, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates. Those include GAMMAGARD LIQUID/KIOVIG (for the treatment of primary immunodeficiency (“PID”) and multifocal motor neuropathy (“MMN”)), and subcutaneous immunoglobulin therapies (CUVITRU and HYQVIA) which are growing due to their benefit to patients and convenience in administration compared to intravenous therapies.
Aggregate sales of albumin products including HUMAN ALBUMIN and FLEXBUMIN (both primarily used for hypovolemia and hypoalbuminemia) were JPY 70.3 billion (JPY +11.4 billion and +19.3% AER, +11.0% CER). The increase was primarily driven by strong albumin demand in China, complemented by favorable foreign exchange rates.
Oncology
In Oncology, revenue was JPY 285.0 billion (JPY +59.8 billion and +26.6% AER, +18.7% CER).
Sales of FRUZAQLA (for colorectal cancer), which was first launched in the U.S. in November 2023, followed by several other countries, were JPY 23.1 billion.
Sales of ADCETRIS (for malignant lymphomas) were JPY 68.2 billion (JPY +14.0 billion and +25.7% AER, +17.4% CER). The increase was led by strong demand in the Growth and Emerging Markets, Europe and Canada, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of LEUPLIN/ENANTONE (for endometriosis, uterine fibroids, premenopausal breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc.) were JPY 60.4 billion (JPY +11.7 billion and +23.9% AER, +18.7% CER). The increase was due to the sales increase in the U.S, and favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of ICLUSIG (for leukemia) were JPY 35.4 billion (JPY +8.4 billion and +30.9% AER, +19.9% CER). The increase was due to steady growth in the U.S., complemented by U.S. regulatory approval of a new indication of newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in combination with chemotherapy in March 2024, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates.
Vaccines
In Vaccines, revenue was JPY 38.1 billion (JPY +20.3 billion and +114.0% AER, +107.0% CER).
Sales of QDENGA (for dengue) were JPY 19.9 billion (JPY +17.9 billion and +927.6% AER, +863.1% CER). The increase was due to the expansion of QDENGA availability in endemic countries, now reaching over 20 countries including non-endemic countries.
Sales of other vaccine products in aggregate increased primarily due to the approval of NUVAXOVID, a COVID-19 vaccine for the Omicron JN.1 variant, in Japan in September 2024.

Period Ended September 30, 2024 (Consolidated)
Neuroscience
In Neuroscience, revenue was JPY 314.6 billion (JPY -16.1 billion and -4.9% AER, -12.3% CER).
Sales of VYVANSE/ELVANSE (for ADHD) were JPY 203.2 billion (JPY -23.1 billion and -10.2% AER, -17.9% CER). The decrease was due to the multiple generic entrants in the U.S. starting from August 2023, while the growth of the adult market in Europe and favorable foreign exchange rates partially offset the negative impacts.
Sales of TRINTELLIX (for major depressive disorder ("MDD")) were JPY 64.1 billion (JPY +13.2 billion, and +25.8% AER, +16.1% CER). The increase was due to the sales increase in the U.S.
Sales of ADDERALL XR (for ADHD) were JPY 16.8 billion (JPY -5.8 billion and -25.6% AER, -31.5% CER). The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the availability of generic versions of the instant release formulation marketed by competitors in the U.S., after many months of supply disruptions, which negatively impacted ADDERALL XR.
Cost of Sales
Cost of Sales was JPY 781.3 billion (JPY +116.6 billion and +17.5% AER, +9.2% CER). The increase was primarily due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen and revenue growth in our six key business areas with a change in product mix as compared to the six-month period ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses were JPY 538.3 billion (JPY +37.2 billion and +7.4% AER, -0.4% CER). The increase was mainly due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen partially offset by various cost efficiencies.
Research and Development (R&D) expenses
R&D expenses were JPY 344.0 billion (JPY -2.7 billion and -0.8% AER, -8.3% CER). The decrease was mainly due to lower expenses attributable to termination of development programs such as modakafusp alfa (TAK-573) and EXKIVITY (for non-small cell lung cancer) partially offset by the depreciation of the Japanese yen.
Amortization and Impairment Losses on Intangible Assets Associated with Products
Amortization and Impairment Losses on Intangible Assets Associated with Products was JPY 305.2 billion (JPY -64.4 billion and -17.4% AER, -23.9% CER). Amortization expenses increased by JPY 23.6 billion mainly due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen. Impairment losses decreased by JPY 88.0 billion primarily due to higher impairment losses recorded for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023, including JPY 74.0 billion impairment charges for ALOFISEL (for complex Crohn's perianal fistulas) and JPY 28.5 billion for EXKIVITY (for non-small cell lung cancer). Impairment losses recorded for the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 includes a full impairment of intangible assets for soticlestat (TAK-935) amounting to JPY 21.5 billion following the results of the phase 3 studies.
Other Operating Income
Other Operating Income was JPY 13.9 billion (JPY +4.1 billion and +41.1% AER, +32.9% CER). The increase was mainly due to a JPY 6.1 billion gain recognized on completion of the sale of TACHOSIL (fibrin sealant patch), including a related manufacturing facility, during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Other Operating Expenses
Other Operating Expenses were JPY 78.5 billion (JPY -31.7 billion and -28.8% AER, -35.2% CER). The decrease was primarily due to higher reserve and provisions for legal proceedings during the six-month period ended September 30, 2023, including those recorded for the supply agreement litigation of AbbVie, Inc. (AbbVie), and favorable impact from reversal of valuation reserve for pre-launch inventories during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in restructuring expenses of JPY 23.1 billion mainly due to the enterprise-wide efficiency program during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Operating Profit
As a result of the above factors, Operating Profit was JPY 350.6 billion (JPY +231.3 billion and +194.0% AER, +173.1% CER).

Period Ended September 30, 2024 (Consolidated)
Net Finance Expenses
Net Finance Expenses were JPY 93.4 billion (JPY +11.6 billion and +14.1% AER, +10.3% CER). The increase of Net Finance Expenses was primarily due to an impairment loss of JPY 18.3 billion as a result of the classification of Teva Takeda Pharma Ltd. shares to the assets held for sale for the six-month period ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by an increase in interest income.
Share of Loss of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method
Share of Loss of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method was JPY 1.2 billion (JPY -2.9 billion, compared to Share of Profit of Investments Accounting for Using the Equity Method of JPY 1.6 billion for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023).
Income Tax (Expenses) Benefit
Income Tax Expenses was JPY 68.6 billion (JPY +71.0 billion, compared to Income Tax Benefit of JPY 2.4 billion for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023). The increase was primarily due to a tax expense reduction of JPY 63.5 billion recorded during the six-month period ended September 30, 2023 resulting from the reversal of the income taxes payable in excess of the settlement with Irish Revenue Commissioners with respect to a tax assessment related to the treatment of an acquisition break fee Shire received from AbbVie in 2014 as well as higher pretax earnings during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in tax expenses from the increase in tax credit recognized during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Net Profit for the Period
As a result of the above factors, Net Profit for the Period was JPY 187.4 billion (JPY +146.0 billion and +352.3% AER, +306.2% CER) and Net Profit for the Period attributable to owners of the Company was JPY 187.3 billion (JPY +145.9 billion and +352.8% AER, +306.6% CER).

Assets
Total Assets as of September 30, 2024 were JPY 14,573.0 billion (JPY -535.8 billion). Mainly due to amortization and the effect of foreign currency translation, Intangible Assets decreased (JPY -504.1 billion). In addition, mainly due to the effect of foreign currency translation, Goodwill and Property, Plant and Equipment decreased (JPY -250.0 billion and JPY -102.2 billion). These decreases were partially offset by the increase of Cash and Cash Equivalents (JPY +401.2 billion).
Liabilities
Total Liabilities as of September 30, 2024 were JPY 7,651.4 billion (JPY -183.4 billion). Mainly due to various payments including the upfront payment to Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc., Trade and Other Payables decreased (JPY -134.2 billion). Due to decreased accrued expenses, Other Current Liabilities decreased (JPY -120.0 billion). Mainly due to the effect of foreign currency translation over the lease liabilities in the U.S., total Other Financial Liabilities decreased (JPY -70.9 billion). Mainly due to amortization of intangible assets and other decreases in deferred tax liabilities in the U.S., Deferred Tax Liabilities decreased (JPY -67.2 billion). Total Bonds and Loans were JPY 5,051.2 billion* (JPY +207.4 billion), which increased primarily due to the issuance of hybrid bonds and unsecured U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes partially offset by the redemption of unsecured senior notes and commercial paper during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024.

Equity
Total Equity as of September 30, 2024 was JPY 6,921.6 billion (JPY -352.4 billion). Mainly due to fluctuation in currency translation adjustments reflecting the appreciation of the Japanese yen, Other Components of Equity decreased (JPY -428.2 billion). This decrease was partially offset by the increase in Retained Earnings (JPY +40.5 billion) mainly due to the contribution from Net Profit for the Period while the decrease of JPY 147.7 billion related to dividend payments was recorded.

Net Cash used in Investing Activities
Net Cash used in Investing Activities was JPY 231.8 billion (JPY -95.3 billion). The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in Acquisition of Intangible Assets, which was partially offset by other investing activities including the upfront payment to AC Immune SA and a minority equity investment in and acquisition of licensing options from Ascentage Pharma Group International.
Net Cash from Financing Activities
Net Cash from Financing Activities was JPY 206.3 billion (JPY +404.8 billion). The increase was mainly due to the issuance of hybrid bonds and unsecured U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes. This increase was partially offset by the redemption in full of outstanding commercial papers.

*1 Please refer to “Definition and Explanation of Non-IFRS Measures and U.S. Dollar Convenience Translations” in the Financial Appendix for the definition.
[Revenue]
Takeda expects FY2024 revenue to be JPY 4,480.0 billion, an increase of JPY 130.0 billion, or 3.0%, from the original forecast. This is primarily attributable to milder than anticipated generic erosion of VYVANSE after the loss of exclusivity in the U.S. and other business momentum as well as favorable overall changes in the assumptions of foreign exchange rates.
The Core Revenue forecast has been revised in the same way as the Revenue forecast.
[Operating Profit]
Operating Profit is expected to increase by JPY 40.0 billion, or 17.8%, from the original forecast to JPY 265.0 billion, reflecting the positive impact from VYVANSE due to milder than anticipated generic erosion in the U.S. This increase is partially offset by unfavorable impacts from other products, incremental operating expenses and foreign currency exchanges.
Core Operating Profit, which excludes impacts unrelated to the underlying trends and business performance of Takeda's core operations, is expected to be JPY 1,050.0 billion, an increase of JPY 50.0 billion, or 5.0%.
[Net profit for the year (attributable to owners of the Company)]
Net profit for the year (attributable to owners of the Company) is expected to be JPY 68.0 billion JPY, an increase of JPY 10.0 billion, or 17.2%, from the original forecast. Profit Before Tax is expected to increase by JPY 38.0 billion, or 69.1%, to JPY 93.0 billion, mainly reflecting the increase in Operating Profit. This increase in Profit Before Tax is expected to be partially offset by higher tax charges, mainly due to the write-down of deferred tax assets, resulting in an assumed effective tax rate of approximately 27%.
Reported EPS is expected to be JPY 43.03, an increase of JPY 6.33, or 17.2%, and Core EPS is expected to be JPY 456, an increase of JPY 26, or 5.9%.
