During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we saw continued currency market fluctuations and inflation reflecting rising

prices of electrical power, energy, and raw materials for multiple reasons, including uncertainties about the policy trends of the US administration. Furthermore, alongside the policy-driven wage hikes, the increasing labor shortages, symbolized by the so-called “2024 Problem,” have led to rising costs across various areas. Meanwhile, with uncertainty surrounding the ability to pass on

these costs through price increases, as well as the uncertainty regarding the impact on crude oil prices and product procurement stemming from heightened tensions in the Middle East that surfaced toward the end of the fiscal year, among other factors, the outlook for the domestic economy and corporate earnings has continued to remain unclear.

Under these circumstances, the Suzuken Group formulated a Medium-Term Management Plan covering the period through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 . Through the implementation of this plan, the Group advanced its transformation into a health creation enterprise working as “One Team,” aiming to create new value as an entity that continues to provide new solutions and hope for the changing healthcare ecosystem, thereby further enhancing corporate value and contributing to solving social issues. Leading up to the 100th anniversary of our founding in 2032, we positioned “Reform of existing businesses” and “Preparation for new growth businesses” as our main focuses and took steps to advance these initiatives.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we worked on several measures as part of the “Reform of existing businesses,” including reinforcing the distribution model for specialty drugs, such as orphan drugs and regenerative medicine products, through collaboration with various companies, as well as creating a new profit model through MS*1 activities.

Specifically, in order to build a healthcare distribution platform, we worked on enhancing the quality of our pharmaceutical distribution by implementing Cubixx, a specialty drug traceability solution, at regional core hospitals and other medical

institutions nationwide. In the distribution of specialty drugs, we addressed the requirements of pharmaceutical companies

seeking market entry and new product launches in Japan, while strengthening our distribution base to ensure the reliable delivery of new drugs to patients awaiting treatment. As a result, as of the end of the fiscal year, a total of 710 units were in operation across 597 customers nationwide, with adoption exceeding half of designated cancer care hospitals and reaching approximately 80% of national university hospitals. Looking ahead, in addition to further promoting the adoption of Cubixx, we will enhance its functionality through integration with peripheral services, enabling more accurate data acquisition, improved visibility of

distribution inventory, and demand forecasting using inventory and consumption data.

As an initiative aimed at strengthening the distribution infrastructure, we established the Greater Tokyo Distribution Center in Soka City, Saitama Prefecture, and commenced full operations in April 2024. It is the industry’s first complex distribution center that incorporates a contract manufacturing and manufacturer distribution area within a wholesale distribution base, employing cutting-edge robotic technology for enhanced automation and labor efficiency. Additionally, in May 2025, we entered into a land sale agreement with Kasugai City in Aichi Prefecture and acquired land for the development of a new logistics hub, tentatively named the Chubu Distribution Center, to serve the Chubu region (central Japan) (with construction scheduled to start in October 2027). In the future, we aim to achieve a variety of benefits, including improved efficiency through automation, reduced transportation and delivery costs, quality assurance that complies with GDP*2 standards, environmental benefits such as reduced CO2 emissions, and further strengthening our BCP response in the event of a disaster by maximizing the use of the Group’s

distribution network, starting with both the Greater Tokyo Distribution Center and Chubu Distribution Center.

Moving forward, the Suzuken Group will continue to sequentially introduce and implement new initiatives to realize the “Reform of existing businesses.”

For “Preparation for new growth businesses,” the Suzuken Group has been working with its partner companies to establish new distribution channels, accelerate the development of digital health businesses through collaborations, and advance innovative

services and information businesses, in order to provide new value to pharmaceutical companies, medical institutions, pharmacies, and patients.

Specifically, we have launched services through the COLLABO Portal*3, a portal site for medical and nursing care

professionals. In addition to delivering various services and information offered by the Suzuken Group, the COLLABO Portal is equipped with functions that connect customers with the Suzuken Group, pharmaceutical companies, and multidisciplinary

healthcare professionals and specialist staff. It also enables the integrated delivery of digital health services from partner companies. Through these initiatives, we have worked to create a safe and secure environment in which digital health services can be utilized in medical and nursing care settings.

In addition, we approved and completed (effective April 1, 2026) the merger and integration of Collabo Square Co., Ltd., which operates the COLLABO Portal, and Embrace Co., Ltd., which operates Medical Care Station (MCS)*4 , a medical and nursing care collaboration platform. Through our initiatives during the period of this Medium-Term Management Plan, new connections have been established between the Company and over 440,000 (user IDs) medical and nursing care professionals.
