Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Despite the impact of drug price revisions and other factors, the company focused on expanding new and core products. Core operating profit declined due to lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. IFRS operating profit benefited from an increase in other income, but the company recorded impairment losses in connection with the discontinuation of development.
