Reasons for the Revision

Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2022 are expected to exceed the initial forecast due in part to the growth of domestic pharmaceuticals in the Pharmaceutical Business. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to increase compared to the initial forecast centering on R&D expenses such as taking over overseas clinical trials in preparation for the termination of the license agreement with ObsEva SA (Switzerland), the overseas licensee for linzagolix, a treatment for uterine fibroids and endometriosis. However, operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent for the six months ended September 30, 2022 are expected to exceed the initial forecast due to increased net sales and an improvement in the cost of sales ratio, etc.
The financial results forecast for the full year is scheduled to be announced with the publication of the consolidated financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2022 (scheduled for November 8, 2022).

(Note) The above forecasts are based on information available to the Company as of the date of publication of this document and certain assumptions as of the date of publication of this document on uncertainties that may have an impact on future financial results. Actual results may differ greatly from these forecasts due to a variety of factors in the future.
