FY2026 Second-Quarter Earnings Briefing Materials

Cumulative results for the second quarter of FY2026 exceeded the year-earlier period for revenue and operating profit, driven by higher sales of core drugs and the weaker yen. The full-year forecast was unchanged from the figures announced in July, while the full-year forecasts for Enhertu and Datroway were updated to the figures announced in October, with forecasts for both products raised.
