Annual updateEach line is the climb from the baseline the document states to the target it sets. The slope is scaled against the largest climb in this document. The increase shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the amount of growth.
Due to some BP2202-related research and development activities previously recorded as advances progressing ahead of schedule, resulting in an increase in research and development expenses, including ¥41 million in expenses recognized earlier than originally planned.
