Overall review of financial results for 2026/3 3Q
YoY change: Net sales and profit increased on a consolidated basis.
Net sales increased due to a rise in sales volume following an increase in production volume at Towa Pharmaceutical, growth in the domestic health food business at Sunsho Pharmaceutical, and an increase in contract manufacturing in European BtoB at Towa INT.
Gross profit increased as an increase in sales at Towa Pharmaceutical and a drop in the cost of sales ratio due to an increase in production volume at Towa INT outweighed a rise in the cost of sales ratio due to a worsening business mix at Sunsho Pharmaceutical.
Operating profit increased as increases in SG&A expenses in all three categories was more than offset by an increase in gross profit at Towa Pharmaceutical and Towa INT.
Ordinary profit increased due to the posting of a 4.5 billion yen gain on valuation of derivatives.
Progress rate for the full-year plan: Net sales: 72.9%, Operating profit: 72.2% on a consolidated basis
The progress rate for net sales remained sluggish as there were products at Towa Pharmaceutical whose growth after the lifting of regulated shipments was less than expected.
The progress rate for operating profit remained sluggish as the cost of sales ratio rose more than expected at Sunsho Pharmaceutical due to a worsening business mix.
The progress rate for ordinary profit was strong due to the posting of a 4.5 billion yen gain on valuation of derivatives, which had not been included in the plan.

Outline of financial results for 2026/3 3Q (Consolidated)
Net sales and operating profit increased due to a rise in sales volume following an increase in production volume at Towa Pharmaceutical and an increase in contract manufacturing in European BtoB at Towa INT, which more than offset the worsening results at Sunsho Pharmaceutical.
The progress rates remained sluggish as there were products at Towa Pharmaceutical whose growth after the lifting of regulated shipments was less than expected, and the cost of sales ratio rose more than expected at Sunsho
Pharmaceutical.
Ordinary profit increased, and its progress rate was strong due to the posting of a 4.5 billion yen gain on valuation of derivatives, which had not been included in the plan.
Due to the uncertainty about the financial market environment, exchange rate trends, etc., we have not revised the full-year plan.
