The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased for the fiscal year ended March 2026, owing to growth in Enhertu and Datroway sales and the positive impact of yen depreciation. Operating profit declined because compensation for losses incurred by contract manufacturers and other items were recorded as one-off expenses. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the Company expects gross profit to increase due to growth in Enhertu and Datroway sales and an improvement in the cost-of-sales ratio, while also anticipating higher expenses, including profit-share payments to AstraZeneca.
