*1 Core operating profit: An adjusted profit in which non-recurring items (impairment, gain on sales of property, plant, and equipment, etc.) are deducted from operating profit.
*2 Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization: Core operating profit added depreciation.
Revenue (including profit from transfer of license) was 438.3 billion yen, a 0.7 percent increase from the previous year. While revenue for the previous fiscal year included 25.0 billion yen recorded for the lump-sum payment received due to a transfer of the license of an ADHD treatment drug, revenue for the consolidated fiscal year under review exceeded that of the previous year, marking a record high for the third consecutive year, as a result of steady growth in each business, mainly overseas business, and an increase in royalty income.
In terms of profits, expenses increased from the previous fiscal year due to an increase in cost of sales resulting from changes in the composition of products in revenue, as well as an increase in research and development expenses resulting from active investments in major development projects and the effect of foreign exchange rates, and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to global business expansion. On the other hand, the increase in overall expenses was limited partly because of a non-recurring expense incurred for the implementation of a special early retirement program in the previous fiscal year. As a result of an increase in revenue due to the expansion of each business, operating profit increased 2.1 percent to 156.6 billion yen. Profit before tax was 200.8 billion yen, a
percent increase year on year, profit attributable to owners of parent was 170.4 billion yen, a 5.2 percent increase, and EBITDA was 179.3 billion yen, a 5.0 percent decrease.
In the consolidated fiscal year under review, we achieved record-high results for revenue and operating profit for the third consecutive year while aggressively making investments in new businesses and growth drivers for global expansion and medium- to long-term growth.
Domestic sales of prescription drugs
Domestic sales of prescription drugs decreased 34.6 percent year on year to 98.8 billion yen. This was mainly due to the impact of a lump-sum payment of 25.0 billion yen associated with the transfer of a license of an ADHD treatment drug, which was recorded in the previous fiscal year, and a decrease in sales of infectious disease drugs. Sales of Xocova decreased due to the extremely weak COVID-19 epidemic compared to the previous consolidated fiscal year. On the
other hand, Xocova's share in the COVID-19 treatment drug market expanded significantly compared to the previous consolidated fiscal year. Xofluza, an influenza treatment drug, also gained a high market share and recorded steady sales during the spread of influenza this winter.
These products have gained a market share in their respective treatment drug markets as planned and are expected to contribute stably to business performance if the disease spreads again in the future. Total revenue from COVID-19-related products and influenza-related products (Xofluza, Rapiacta) for the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 was 51.8 billion yen. In addition, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, sales of QUVIVIQ, an insomnia treatment drug, started in December 2024.
Overseas subsidiary sales and exports
Revenue from overseas business increased 18.4 percent to 59.1 billion yen from the previous year. Due to strong sales of Cefiderocol (product name in U.S.: Fetroja, product name in Europe: Fetcroja), revenues from businesses in the U.S. and Europe were 23.4 billion yen, a 30.6 percent increase, and 16.8 billion yen, a 24.0 percent increase, respectively. The growth of Cefiderocol can be attributed to its market penetration in countries where it is already marketed due to accumulation of clinical evidence. We will continue to promote the growth of our European and U.S. businesses by expanding the number of countries where Cefiderocol is sold, further promoting penetration in countries where it is already marketed, and expanding the number of countries where the subscription-based reimbursement model* has been adopted. Revenue in China decreased 18.3 percent year on year to 8.7 billion yen. However, we made steady progress toward a shift to new drug businesses, such as filing an application for approval of Cefiderocol and achieving the primary endpoint in a Phase 3 clinical study of Naldemedine.
* A model in which the country can receive antibiotics when needed by paying a fixed amount of compensation to the developing company irrespective of the quantity of antibiotics prescriptions.
Royalty income and dividend income from ViiV
Royalty income from ViiV increased 22.8 percent from the previous year to 240.4 billion yen due to strong growth of oral two-drug combinations and long-acting formulations (LA formulations) and foreign exchange effects. Other royalty income was 4.3 billion yen, a 6.8 percent decrease.
Dividend income from ViiV increased 18.8 percent to 40.3 billion yen due to steady progress of ViiV's business.
As a result, total royalty income and dividend income from ViiV for the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 amounted to 285 billion yen, an increase of 21.6 percent, marking a record high.
Research and Development
In FY2024, we actively promoted and advanced our research and development activities, with a focus on COVID-19-related projects and other priority projects..
Research
For S-892216, a next-generation 3CL protease inhibitor, development is underway with two types of formulations, a long-acting formulation and an oral formulation, targeting the treatment and prevention of COVID-19. In FY2024, we made progress in research on the pre-exposure prophylaxis indication for the long-acting formulation and signed an agreement with U.S.-based BARDA to receive a grant of $375 million in development support.
For S-268024, a COVID-19 preventive vaccine designed to target the JN.1 lineage, which is the 2024/2025 recommended strain, we advanced research and initiated a Phase 3 study during FY2024 in preparation for the development of vaccines that can respond to future recommended strains.
S-567123, a universal vaccine, is a next-generation vaccine that is expected to provide a preventive effect against a wide range of mutations as a single drug. Our initial goal is to develop a universal vaccine for COVID-19, and during FY2024, we advanced non-clinical studies and preparations for investigational drug manufacturing.
S-917091 is a candidate anti-HIV drug with a different mechanism of action from integrase inhibitors. During FY2024, we advanced various research projects with the aim of enabling ultra-long-acting HIV treatment (administered once every three months or less frequently) by using it in combination with an integrase inhibitor.
S-898270 is a candidate treatment expected to improve cognitive functions, including learning and memory. We advanced research with the aim of initiating a Phase 1 clinical study in the first half of FY2025.
Development
Ensitrelvir (Xocova), a COVID-19 oral treatment drug, achieved its primary endpoint in the global Phase 3 post-exposure prophylaxis trial (SCORPIO-PEP study) conducted among household contacts or cohabitants of COVID-19 patients. This
was the world's first clinical study to demonstrate the efficacy of an oral antiviral drug in suppressing the onset of COVID-19. Based on these results, we submitted an application for an additional indication for the prevention of COVID-19 in Japan. For global applications, we are currently engaged in discussions with regulatory authorities, taking into
account the results of this study as well as previous clinical trials. In the U.S., we have already initiated a rolling submission for the indication of COVID-19 prevention.
COVGOZE for intramuscular injection is a COVID-19 preventive vaccine (monovalent original strain). Unlike the mRNA vaccines that have been mainly used so far, it is a recombinant protein vaccine based on technology that has been widely used both domestically and internationally for many years, with proven efficacy and long-term safety. In FY2024,
it received manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan for use in initial immunization as SHIONOGI's first vaccine. S-337395 is a novel oral treatment for RSV infections. Since there are currently no effective antiviral drugs available for RSV, it is expected to serve as a new treatment option. In FY2024, we achieved the primary endpoint in a Phase 2
clinical study (human challenge study) and made progress toward the initiation of late-stage clinical trials.
Zuranolone is a novel antidepressant with a new mechanism of action different from that of existing drugs and demonstrates efficacy with once-daily oral administration for 14 days. In FY2024, in a Phase 3 clinical study, statistically significant improvements in depressive symptoms, rapid onset of action, and good tolerability compared to the placebo group were confirmed, and we submitted an application for manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan.
S-606001 is a candidate oral small-molecule treatment for Pompe disease. Pompe disease is a rare disorder, with an estimated 50,000 patients worldwide, and unmet medical needs that cannot be fully addressed by existing treatments remain. Therefore, this agent is expected to serve as a new treatment option. In FY2024, we advanced Phase 1 clinical studies in Japan.
SASS-001 is a candidate oral treatment for sleep apnea syndrome being co-developed with Apnimed, which has extensive expertise in sleep disorders. In FY2024, a Phase 2 clinical study was started.
ENDEAVORRIDE is a therapeutic app designed for pediatric patients with ADHD. In FY2024, we obtained manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan based on favorable results from a domestic Phase 3 clinical study.

Revenue
Regarding revenue, in our domestic business, we anticipate an increase due to the growth of acute respiratory virus infection drugs, driven by improved COVID-19 treatment rates and the expansion of Xocova's market share, in addition to the contributions of new products, including QUVIVIQ. On the other hand, in our overseas business, while we anticipate growth in local currency terms due to the steady sales of cefiderocol, we expect a decrease in revenue due to exchange rate effects. As for royalty income from HIV-related products from ViiV, we expect continued growth in fiscal 2024 due to increased sales of Dovato, long-acting treatment Cabenuva, and preventive drug Apretude. Furthermore, we plan to M&A the pharmaceutical business of Japan Tobacco Inc. expected to anticipate revenue growth through this. Consequently, we anticipate an overall increase in revenue.
Profit
In terms of profits, we anticipate increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to the expansion of domestic sales activities, the establishment of a sales structure for the development of ensitrelvir in US and the Europe, the globalization of corporate functions, and the promotion of DX. As for R&D expenses, we plan to spend the highest amount on R&D since our founding to further accelerate development of growth drivers that can be sold globally. Although we anticipate an overall increase in expenses, we expect growth in revenue to exceed this, and we anticipate an increase in all profit items, namely, operating profit, profit before tax, and profit attributable to owners of parent.

Notes: 1. No financial instruments are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are not dilutive.
In September 2022, Shionogi made a disposition of 9,000,000(before stock split 3,000,000) shares of treasury stock to Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited (re-trustee: the trust account of Custody Bank of Japan, Ltd.) in relation to the Shionogi Infectious Disease Research Promotion Foundation. However, these shares are treated as treasury stock. Therefore, these shares are deducted from the average number of shares of common stock during the period in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.
The Company conducted a 3-for-1 stock split of shares of common stock, effective October 1, 2024. Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share were calculated under the assumption that the stock split had been conducted at the beginning of the year ended March 31, 2024.

(Significant Company Split)
Effective as of April 1, 2025, Shionogi & Co., Ltd. (the "Company") carried out an absorption-type company split (the "Absorption-type Split") in which UMN Pharma Inc. ("UMN Pharma"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, served as the splitting company, and Shionogi Pharma Co., Ltd. ("Shionogi Pharma"), also a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, served as the successor company.
Purpose of this absorption-type company split
In our medium-term management plan, STS2030 Revision, we have set forth enhancement of our vaccine business as part of total care for infectious diseases. This fiscal year, we established the Vaccine Business Division to oversee research and development, production, and sales in an integrated manner, thereby creating a system that can respond quickly and flexibly, from vaccine production to supply. To strengthen and streamline our vaccine production capabilities, Shionogi Pharma has decided to take over the vaccine production function of UMN Pharma through this absorption-type company split.
Details of the business subject to the Absorption-type Split and the book values of the assets and liabilities to be split Major business areas Research, development, manufacturing, and sales of biopharmaceuticals

Form of the Absorption-type Split
An absorption-type company split in which UMN Pharma, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, serves as the splitting company and Shionogi Pharma, also a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, serves as the successor company.
Date of the Absorption-type Split April 1, 2025
Other important matters
There will be no changes to the names, locations, business activities, or capital of the companies involved as a result of the Absorption-type Split. Through this absorption-type company split, the production functions of UMN Pharma will be assumed by Shionogi Pharma while certain assets such as goodwill and intangible assets will be transferred to Shionogi. Dissolution of UMN Pharma was resolved at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on March 31, 2025, and the liquidation is expected to be completed by early June of the same year. The impact of this absorption-type company split on our consolidated financial results is expected to be minimal.
