Revenue was 499.7 billion yen (up 14.0 percent year on year). In addition to the steady growth of overseas business and royalty income, our domestic business expanded significantly following the acquisition of Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. as a consolidated subsidiary through M&A of the Japan Tobacco Inc. (hereinafter, " JT " ) Group's pharmaceutical business (JT pharmaceutical business, domestic group company Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and U.S. group company Akros), and the recording of its revenue. As a result, each business made steady progress, and revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 exceeded that of the previous fiscal year, marking a record high for the fourth consecutive year.
In terms of profits, despite a year-on-year increase in expenses, mainly selling, general and administrative expenses, as a result of actively making preparations for the launch of new products in the U.S., and post-merger integration (PMI) activities related to business investments for future growth, operating profit increased 6.5 percent to 166.7 billion yen, marking a record high for the fourth consecutive year. Profit before tax was 238.9 billion yen, a 19.0 percent increase year on year, and profit attributable to owners of parent was 205.2 billion yen, a 20.4 percent increase year on year, and EBITDA increased 4.7 percent year on year to 187.7 billion yen.
In the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we achieved record-high results in revenue and for all profit items, while making significant business investments aimed at strengthening our management and business foundations to realize our 2030 Vision.
Domestic sales of prescription drugs
Domestic sales of prescription drugs increased 25.0 percent year on year to 123.5 billion yen. Since Torii Pharmaceutical became a consolidated subsidiary on September 1, 2025, its sales for seven months have been recorded. In addition, by co-promoting key products of Shionogi & Co., Ltd. and Torii Pharmaceutical, we were able to leverage each company's strengths to provide information to medical institutions in a mutually complementary manner, thereby achieving an increase in revenue.
By product category, revenue from acute respiratory infection drugs was 33.8 billion yen, a 34.8 percent decrease year on year. Sales of the anti-coronavirus drug Xocova decreased due to the low prevalence of COVID-19 compared to the previous consolidated fiscal year. On the other hand, sales of the anti-influenza virus drug Xofluza increased in line with the spread of influenza during the winter. Although both drugs maintained a high market share in their respective treatment drug markets and generated a certain level of revenue, overall revenue in the acute respiratory infections field fell short of the level of the previous consolidated fiscal year. In the QOL disease field, prescriptions of QUVIVIQ, an insomnia treatment, have increased as one year has passed since its launch and the 14-day prescription restriction has been lifted. As a result, revenue increased 224.1 percent to 2.6 billion yen, significantly exceeding that of the previous fiscal year. Furthermore, in March 2026, sales commenced for ZURZUVAE, a treatment drug for depression with a novel mechanism of action.
Overseas subsidiary sales and exports
Revenue from overseas business increased 9.9 percent to 65.0 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 28.7 billion yen, a 22.9 percent increase, and 20.8 billion yen, a 23.4 percent increase, respectively. Revenue from our China business was 6.2 billion yen, a 28.3 percent decrease. This is mainly due to a decline in sales of generic drugs resulting from healthcare cost-containment policies. Meanwhile, we made steady progress in transitioning to a new drug business. We obtained approval for Cefiderocol in January 2026 for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, and our new drug application for Naldemedine, a treatment for opioid-induced constipation, was accepted in May 2025.
Royalty income and dividend income from ViiV
Royalty income from ViiV Healthcare Ltd. (hereinafter, "ViiV") increased 8.7 percent from the previous year to 261.3 billion yen due to the strong growth of oral two-drug combinations and long-acting formulations (LA formulations). Other royalty income increased significantly to 17.3 billion yen, up 304.9 percent year on year, supported by strong sales of the anti-influenza drug Xofluza, which is out-licensed to Roche (Switzerland), as well as the recognition of new royalties related to the JT pharmaceutical business, which the Company acquired on December 1, 2025. Dividend income from ViiV increased 30.0 percent to 52.4 billion yen due to the steady progress of ViiV's business.
Research and Development
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we actively advanced our research and development activities, focusing on projects in our priority areas of infectious diseases and QOL diseases with significant social impact.
Research
Research on S-567123, a vaccine designed to prevent the onset of infection by inducing antibodies that suppress the activity of sarbecoviruses (a group of viruses including SARS coronavirus [SARS-CoV-1] and novel coronavirus [SARS-CoV-2]), has progressed, and a Phase 1 clinical trial has begun. This vaccine is a next-generation vaccine expected to be effective against emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2, as it induces antibodies that target regions of the virus where mutations are unlikely to occur.
Furthermore, research on S-898270, a therapeutic candidate for improving symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, has progressed, and a Phase 1 clinical trial has been initiated. This drug is expected to improve cognitive function by enhancing neuronal and synaptic functions.
In addition to advancing these research activities, we completed the acquisition of the JT Group's pharmaceutical business with the aim of strengthening our in-house drug discovery capabilities, particularly in small-molecule drug discovery. Through this acquisition, we enhanced our drug discovery infrastructure by expanding our talent base of experienced medicinal chemists and other specialists, and by acquiring and integrating advanced technology platforms, such as AI and quantum computing, from the JT pharmaceutical business. We aim to further enhance our strengths as a drug discovery-based pharmaceutical company and generate globally competitive in-house developed products.
Development
In the field of infectious diseases, based on the positive results of the global Phase 3 post-exposure prophylaxis study (SCORPIO-PEP) for ensitrelvir (product name in Japan: Xocova), an oral antiviral drug for COVID-19, we submitted an application for approval in the United States for the prevention of COVID-19, and the application was accepted by the
U.S. FDA. In Europe, we submitted marketing authorization applications for both post-exposure prophylaxis and treatment indications. In addition, in Japan, we obtained approval for post-exposure prophylaxis and also submitted a manufacturing and marketing authorization application for treatment in children aged 6 to 11 years. Furthermore, we initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial to expand the age range to include children aged 0 to 5 years.
Regarding S-892216, a next-generation antiviral drug for COVID-19, we obtained positive results in a Phase 2 clinical trial toward obtaining approval as an oral treatment and advanced preparations for a Phase 3 clinical trial. Furthermore, development of long-acting formulations has progressed toward obtaining approval for pre-exposure prophylaxis for the purpose of preventing infection.
Regarding S-268024, a COVID-19 vaccine targeting the JN.1 lineage of the SARS-CoV-2 variant, the primary endpoint was achieved in a Phase 3 clinical trial, demonstrating efficacy and a favorable safety profile. Based on these results, we submitted an application for partial change to the manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan.
Regarding baloxavir marboxil (product name in Japan: Xofluza), an anti-influenza drug, we obtained manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan for a granule formulation intended for pediatric patients. This has made it possible to offer treatment options to a wider range of patients.
Cefiderocol, an injectable antibacterial agent for the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections, including those caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, was approved in China for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections. In the field of QOL diseases with significant social impact, we initiated a global Phase 2 clinical trial of S-606001, a small-molecule oral treatment candidate for the rare disease Pompe disease. This disease is a genetic metabolic disorder characterized by muscle weakness and respiratory dysfunction, with significant unmet medical needs that existing treatments have not fully addressed, and this drug is expected to provide a new treatment option.
Regarding zuranolone (product name in Japan: ZURZUVAE), an oral antidepressant with a novel mechanism of action, we obtained manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan. This drug is effective when taken orally once a day for 14 days. In a Phase 3 clinical trial in Japan, it demonstrated a significant improvement in depressive symptoms compared with placebo as early as two days after the start of administration, suggesting a rapid onset of action.
Regarding S-531011, an anti-CCR8 antibody for solid tumors, we obtained results from the Phase 1 portion of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial and initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial.
Furthermore, following the M&A of the JT Group's pharmaceutical business, we acquired several promising development products from the former JT pharmaceutical business and Torii Pharmaceutical.
Financial Position for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026
As of March 31, 2026, total assets were 2,576,870 million yen, an increase of 1,041,521 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.
Non-current assets increased, primarily due to an increase in investments accounted for using the equity method, following an additional investment in ViiV, which resulted in the company becoming an equity-method affiliate. Furthermore, due to increases in property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets following the consolidation of Torii Pharmaceutical as a subsidiary and the absorption-type split of the JT pharmaceutical business, non-current assets totaled 1,266,535 million yen, an increase of 589,690 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. Please note that the amounts of goodwill, intangible assets, etc. are provisionally calculated amounts as allocation of the acquisition cost has not yet been completed. Current assets were 1,310,335 million yen, an increase of 451,831 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, due to increases in cash and cash equivalents resulting from borrowings associated with large investments, fixed-term deposits of more than three months (included in other financial assets under current assets), and trade receivables.
Equity totaled 1,686,205 million yen, an increase of 323,708 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, due to recording of profits and other factors despite a decrease due to dividend payments and other components of equity.
Liabilities totaled 890,665 million yen, an increase of 717,813 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.
Non-current liabilities were 63,235 million yen, an increase of 19,775 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to an increase in deferred tax liabilities. Current liabilities were 827,430 million yen, an increase of 698,037 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to an increase in borrowings associated with large investments.

Revenue
Regarding revenue, in our domestic business, the anti-coronavirus drug Xocova and the anti-influenza drug Xofluza have each achieved a high market share in their respective treatment markets. These products are expected to contribute steadily to business performance in the event of infectious disease outbreaks. Furthermore, to establish a growth foundation beyond the infectious disease field, we anticipate steady growth across our entire domestic business, driven by the growth of new products such as QUVIVIQ, an insomnia treatment, and ZURZUVAE, a depression treatment, in addition to the extensive non-infectious disease product portfolio of Torii Pharmaceutical.
In our overseas business, in addition to Cefiderocol, which has achieved steady growth primarily in Europe and the U.S., we have acquired the edaravone (product name in Japan: RADICUT, product name in U.S.: RADICAVA) business. We anticipate significant global growth, primarily in the U.S., by establishing a rare disease business as a key pillar outside the infectious disease field. For ensitrelvir, we will promote its global expansion by obtaining approval for post-exposure prophylaxis and through its commercial launch.
Regarding royalty income, royalties from HIV-related products from ViiV are expected to increase, supported by the sales growth of Dovato, the long-acting treatment drug Cabenuva, and the preventive drug Apretude. In addition, royalty income previously received by the former JT pharmaceutical business will be recognized for the full year. As a result, overall revenue is expected to increase for the fifth consecutive year.
Profit
In terms of profits, we expect an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses, reflecting the strengthening of our domestic business through integration with Torii Pharmaceutical, which became a wholly owned subsidiary in the previous fiscal year, as well as efforts to maximize the value of the Radicava business in the U.S. We also expect an increase in amortization expenses due to the recognition of intangible assets arising from M&A. Regarding research and development expenses, we expect an increase in costs as we integrate the pipeline acquired through M&A, advance the prioritization and focus of development products, and continue to invest primarily in late-stage clinical trials. As outlined above, overall expenses are expected to increase, but we anticipate a significant increase in revenue that will more than offset these costs. As a result, we expect operating profit to increase for the fifth consecutive year and profit attributable to owners of parent to increase for the third consecutive year.

Changes in Presentation
"Investments accounted for using the equity method," which were included in "Other non-current assets" in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, are now presented separately starting from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 because of their increased significance.

The SHIONOGI Group has a single business segment related to prescription drugs. We operate research, development, purchase, manufacturing, and distributing prescription drugs and related businesses. While analysis of each product sales and profits or expenses of each subsidiary are made, decision of business strategy and allocation of the management resources, especially allocation of R&D expenses, are made on a company-wide basis. Therefore disclosure of segment information is omitted.

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, 2025 .
Business combination
For the consolidated year ended March 31, 2026 (from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026)
At the Board of Directors meeting held on May 7, 2025, the Company resolved to acquire common shares of Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, "Torii Pharmaceutical" ) through a tender offer pursuant to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (hereinafter, the "Tender Offer), to succeed to the pharmaceutical business of Japan Tobacco Inc. (hereinafter, "Japan Tobacco") (hereinafter, "JT Pharmaceutical Business") through a company split (simplified absorption-type split) (hereinafter, the "Absorption-type Split" ), and to enter into an agreement regarding the acceptance of all issued shares of Akros Pharma Inc. (a 100% sub-subsidiary of Japan Tobacco, hereinafter, "Akros") by Shionogi Inc., a SHIONOGI subsidiary company in the U.S.A. (hereinafter, the "Share Acceptance").
As a result of the Tender Offer, which the Company has implemented since May 8, 2025, Torii Pharmaceutical became an equity-method affiliate of the Company on June 25, 2025, which is the commencement date of settlement for the Tender Offer.
Torii Pharmaceutical resolved at its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on September 1, 2025 to acquire all of Torii Pharmaceutical's common shares held by Japan Tobacco (hereinafter referred to as the "Share Repurchase"), and the Share Repurchase became effective on the same day.

Outline of business combination
Name and the line of business of the acquired company
Name Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Line of business Manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products
Date of acquisition September 1, 2025
Main reasons for the business combination
The SHIONOGI Group had been considering a collaboration with the JT Pharmaceutical Business since the beginning of 2024 to realize its vision "Building Innovation Platforms to Shape the Future of Healthcare" in its efforts relating to the STS2030 Revision, its medium-term business plan. After careful consideration, it concluded that acquiring the JT Pharmaceutical Business and making Akros and Torii Pharmaceutical wholly owned subsidiaries were highly significant to realizing the vision.
While the JT Pharmaceutical Business is responsible for research and development, Torii Pharmaceutical is responsible for manufacturing, sales, and promotional activities. By establishing an integrated value chain between the two companies, we have created an efficient collaborative framework. Torii Pharmaceutical is a pharmaceutical company with strengths in the areas of skin diseases, allergens, and kidney/dialysis. To achieve its medium- to long-term business vision "VISION2030" and ensure sustainable growth beyond 2030, it has been focusing on "maximizing the value of existing products and development products" and "acquiring new in-licensed products."
After this transaction, synergies can be anticipated, such as the following: (1) the distinct strengths of the Company and Torii Pharmaceutical with regard to medical departments and facilities will be integrated, expanding the scope of information provision and also enabling the provision of information that meets the needs of doctors; (2) the potential for global expansion of future development pipelines will increase, leading to strengthened sales through the accumulation of R&D and sales data collected and evaluated both in Japan and overseas; and (3) by utilizing the Company's manufacturing facilities, a flexible in-house production system can be established, including the ability to increase production. Therefore, Torii Pharmaceutical became a subsidiary of the SHIONOGI Group by repurchasing its shares from Japan Tobacco, the former parent company of Torii Pharmaceutical.

(Notes) 1. The identification of assets and liabilities is currently under a detailed review, and the allocation of the acquisition cost has not been completed. Therefore, provisional accounting treatment has been applied based on reasonable information available at this time. Based on new information obtained by the end of the current fiscal year, the provisional fair value was adjusted. The main contents of the change were increases of 7,036 million yen in other non-current assets, 3,141 million yen in Inventories and 2,102 million yen in other non-current liabilities, and a decrease of 3,501 million yen in Intangible assets. As a result, goodwill decreased by 3,947 million yen.
Intangible assets are primarily sales rights.
Goodwill is primarily generated in relation to expected future profitability. None of the recognized goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Non -controlling interests are measured by multiplying the percentage of non-controlling interests by the identifiable net assets of the acquired company on the date control was acquired

Additional acquisition
In October 2025, the Company acquired additional shares of Torii Pharmaceutical, which became a consolidated subsidiary in September 2025, through a squeeze-out procedure. We have determined that it is appropriate to account for this acquisition as a single transaction together with the Share Repurchase.
As a result, our equity interest in Torii Pharmaceutical has increased from 86.34 percent to 100.00 percent.
The acquisition consideration for the additional shares of Torii Pharmaceutical acquired through the squeeze-out procedure was 11,026 million yen. As a result of this additional acquisition, non-controlling interests decreased by 7,884 million yen and goodwill increased by 3,142 million yen.

Line of business Pharmaceutical business
Date of acquisition December 1, 2025
Main reasons for the business combination
The JT Pharmaceutical Business has been engaged in research and development of prescription drugs since entering the business in 1987, aiming to create first-in-class small molecule drugs through stable research and development investment. Currently, under the business purpose of "valuing science, technology, and human resources and contributing to patients' health" and aiming to create original new drugs that can be used internationally, Japan Tobacco conducts research and development, while Torii Pharmaceutical handles manufacturing, sales, and promotion activities, building an integrated value chain and maximizing synergies within the group. The JT Pharmaceutical Business focuses on three priority research and development areas: cardiovascular, renal, and muscle; immunology and inflammation; and central nervous system. It has strengths in efficient and rapid clinical development through specialization on research and development in small molecule drug discovery and collaboration between domestic and international research and development bases. To deliver new drugs created in-house to patients as early as possible, the JT Pharmaceutical Business actively engages in out-licensing and partnerships with global mega-pharma companies, in addition to promoting in-house development.
To realize its Vision, the Company concluded that by acquiring the JT Pharmaceutical Business, which has strengths in small molecule drug discovery and high research and development capabilities, it would be possible to accelerate the development of promising pipeline projects held by the two companies and increase the efficiency and speed of business operations through the establishment of a collaborative structure with the Company's pharmaceutical manufacturing functions. The Company believes that this business combination will create a leading company that delivers innovative pharmaceuticals from Japan to the world, contributing to the health of patients and people worldwide and contributing to the realization of a sustainable and healthy society.
