Reason for the revision

Sales of key strategic products, led by PADCEV, IZERVAY and VYLOY, are expected to increase substantially and absorb the decline in XTANDI sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to decrease as cost optimization through SMT continues, while research and development expenses are expected to increase due to higher clinical development costs, including those for new Phase III trials. Foreign exchange effects from the yen weakening against the euro are also expected.

Details and amount of extraordinary loss

Recognized an impairment loss of ¥12.0 billion on intangible assets related to certain Xyphos programs and an impairment loss of ¥16.4 billion on intangible assets associated with the strategic discontinuation of AT132. For the next fiscal year, approximately ¥80 billion has been factored in as other expenses, including the risk of impairment losses and costs associated with organizational restructuring.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Revenue is expected to increase in the next fiscal year, as higher sales of key strategic products, led by PADCEV, IZERVAY and VYLOY, are expected to absorb the decline in XTANDI sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to decrease as cost optimization through SMT continues, while research and development expenses are expected to increase due to higher clinical development costs, including those for new Phase III trials. Foreign exchange effects based on the assumption that the yen will weaken against the euro are also expected.
