1. Overview of Operating Results and Financial PositionThe forward-looking statements in this document are those determined as of the end of the current consolidated accounting period.
(1) Overview of operating results for the fiscal year under reviewWith the corporate philosophy of "Contribute to people's health and dedicate ourselves to people's genuine smiles," the Group has been working on various issues. The aim is to establish a foundation in new markets and new businesses and realize group synergies with each subsidiary while making the domestic generic drug business its core business in accordance with the "6th Medium-term Business Plan 2024-2026 PROACTIVE III" announced in June 2024.
As a result, operating results for the fiscal year under review are as follows.
Consolidated earnings (Millions of yen)
Year ended March 31, 2025 | Year ended March 31, 2026 | Change | Change | |
Net sales | 259,594 | 273,710 | 14,116 | 5.4% |
Cost of sales | 164,865 | 174,606 | 9,741 | 5.9% |
Gross profit | 94,729 | 99,104 | 4,375 | 4.6% |
Selling, general and administrative expenses | 71,486 | 76,001 | 4,515 | 6.3% |
Operating profit | 23,242 | 23,102 | (139) | (0.6)% |
Ordinary profit | 26,152 | 28,079 | 1,927 | 7.4% |
Profit attributable to owners of parent | 18,986 | 5,250 | (13,736) | (72.3)% |
Net sales were up due to an increase in sales volume as well as unit price at Towa Pharmaceutical and growth in sales in the European B2B and B2C businesses at Towa Pharma International Holdings, S.L. (hereinafter referred to as "Towa INT"). Operating profit, on the other hand, declined as it failed to offset a rise in the cost of sales ratio at Sunsho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Sunsho Pharmaceutical") resulting from a worsening sales mix.
Net sales were 273,710 million yen (up 5.4% year on year), operating profit came to 23,102 million yen (down 0.6% year on year), ordinary profit was 28,079 million yen (up 7.4% year on year) due to a gain of 5,384 million yen on valuation of derivatives, but profit attributable to owners of parent totaled 5,250 million yen (down 72.3% year on year). This decline was due to the recording of impairment losses of 14,729 million yen as a result of the future cash flow review, in light of the deteriorating performance of Sunsho Pharmaceutical.
