Business Plan and Growth Potential

For the fiscal year ending March 2026, revenue and profit fell short of plan due to the timing of a major contract shifting into a different period. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the Company presented a plan forecasting revenue of ¥1,100–1,500 million and an operating profit of ¥5–50 million while increasing R&D investment. The ¥2 billion to be raised is to be allocated to clinical development, in-licensing and M&A, and new businesses.

Reason for revision or withdrawal

The contract upfront payment was not recorded because the timing of a major contract shifted into a different period. R&D expense for the fiscal year ending March 2026 was ¥277 million, compared with the planned ¥550 million, following a review of the timing of certain investments, but this did not represent a reduction in R&D investment.

The reasons the company gives

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

The contract upfront payment was not recorded because the timing of a major contract shifted into a different period, resulting in revenue and profit falling short of plan for the fiscal year ending March 2026. The funds raised will also be used for growth investments to increase pipeline value, expand growth opportunities, and provide health value in the healthcare sector.
