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.In the Pharmaceutical Business, products launched in the fiscal year ended March 2026 and new products launched during the current fiscal year contributed to results, while costs for existing products were also reduced. In the BPO Business, the number of dispatched medical representatives increased against a backdrop of growing demand for their services. In the Pharmacy Business, the average technical fee per prescription increased, but the number of prescriptions processed declined due to factors including longer prescription periods.
