In the first half, revenue and operating profit increased on growth at Towa Pharmaceutical and other businesses and at Towa INT, bringing operating profit progress against the full-year plan to 39.8%.

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 and operating profit increased because both sales volume and unit prices rose at Towa Pharmaceutical and other businesses, while European B2C and European B2B operations grew at Towa INT. 三生医薬 and other businesses performed poorly due to delays in expanding sales to existing customers and developing new customers, as well as lost orders in the pharmaceutical business. Ordinary profit and interim net income declined mainly because a loss on valuation of derivatives of approximately ¥2.3 billion was recognized.
