Note:

Core operating profit is calculated by deducting from operating profit any gains and losses resulting from nonrecurring factors, including changes in fair value of contingent consideration, impairment losses, and business structure improvement expenses.

2. Reasons for the revisions

In the revised forecasts announced today, the Company has changed the full-year foreign exchange assumption (average exchange rate for the period) from 145.0 JPY to 150.0 JPY against 1 USD, as compared with the previous forecast.
Revenue has been revised upward by 20.0 billion JPY to 449.0 billion JPY, reflecting higher‑than‑expected sales of products such as GEMTESA® (therapeutic agent for overactive bladder) in the North America segment, as well as the positive impact of the weaker yen.
Core operating profit has been revised upward by 10.0 billion JPY to 107.0 billion JPY. In addition to the increase in gross profit resulting from higher revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses and R&D expenses are now expected to be slightly lower than the previous forecast, excluding the impact of yen depreciation.
Driven by the increase in core operating profit, operating profit has been revised upward by 10.0 billion JPY to 108.0 billion JPY and profit attributable to owners of the parent has been revised upward by 10.0 billion JPY to 102.0 billion JPY, compared with the previous forecast.
