Items this document does not state (11)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Consolidated results benefited from the increase in Daiichi Sankyo Espha's ownership stake from 51% to 80% and the expanded contribution from the pharmaceutical business. In the pharmacy business, the unit price of technical fees increased due to the acquisition of the Medical DX Promotion System Development Fee and a higher generic drug utilization rate, but profit declined. The BPO business benefited from an increase in the number of dispatched medical representatives, while the pharmaceutical business benefited from sales of new products.
