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.Revenue increased in the first half, driven by higher royalty income, domestic prescription pharmaceuticals, and overseas subsidiaries and exports. Profit increased due to higher sales at Torii Pharmaceutical and the results of growth investments. The upward revision to the full-year forecasts reflects strong progress by Cabenuva, Torii Pharmaceutical-related products, Shionogi Inc. and Shionogi B.V., cefiderocol, and ViiV's HIV franchise.
