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.

Now, please turn to slide 4.

I would like to explain the financial results for the third quarter.

Consolidated net sales were approximately 204.0 billion yen, up 5.3% year on year,

and consolidated operating profit was approximately 19.4 billion yen, up 4.7% year on year.

However, their progress rates remained sluggish.

Sunsho Pharmaceutical, etc. achieved an increase in net sales, but its profit decreased. Segment net sales progressed as planned, but the progress rate of segment profits was sluggish.

Towa INT achieved an increase in both net sales and profit, and both net sales and segment profit after eliminating intercompany transactions with Towa Pharmaceutical progressed as planned.

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.

(In 25/3 3Q, a 1.7 billion yen gain on valuation of derivatives was recognized.)

Now please turn to slide 6.

I would like to explain the consolidated financial results summary for the third quarter.

Consolidated net sales and operating profit increased year on year due to a rise in sales 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.

Compared to the full-year plan, the progress rates remained sluggish as there were products at Towa Pharmaceutical whose sales growth after the lifting of regulated shipments was less than expected, and the cost of sales ratio rose more than expected at Sunsho Pharmaceutical.

Consolidated ordinary profit increased, and the 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.
