Revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by 8.1% year-on-year to ¥68.7 billion. This was mainly due to the focus on expanding sales of new and mainstay products despite the impact of NHI price revisions and adjustments to channel inventory levels.
- Japan
Revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by 9.6% year-on-year to ¥36.6 billion.
NHI price revisions at the high end of the 1% level and the absence of the strong performance of Alesion products at the end of the previous fiscal year were partially offset by the focus on growing mainstay products such as RYJUSEA Mini which was launched in April 2025, EYLEA kit for IVT inj. 114.3mg/mL which was launched in May 2025 and Alesion eyelid cream. Within total Japan revenue, revenue from OTC (excluding China and Asia) increased by 21.4% year-on-year to ¥3.0 billion.
-
China
On a JPY basis, revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by 20.9% year-on-year (-14.0% excluding FX impact) to ¥6.3 billion. This was mainly due to the impact of adjustments to channel inventory levels. Starting this fiscal year, Hong Kong is included in the China segment rather than the Asia segment. For reference, the calculation of the year-on-year growth rate takes into account this change.
-
Asia (excluding China)
On a JPY basis, revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by 4.3% year-on-year (+2.8% excluding FX impact) to ¥6.8 billion. This was due to an increased competition in South Korea glaucoma market despite the steady growth of glaucoma and dry eye products sold in Southeast Asia.
- EMEA*3
On a JPY basis, revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by 0.2% year-on-year (+2.2% excluding FX impact) to ¥18.6 billion. This was mainly due to the focus on building leadership positions in the glaucoma and dry eye fields.
[Core operating profit]Gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by 13.2 % year-on-year to ¥37.1 billion.
SG&A expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by 0.8% year-on-year (+2.0% excluding FX impact) to ¥21.2 billion.
R&D expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by 12.8% year-on-year (+16.9% excluding FX impact) to ¥6.2 billion.
