  • Takeda’s 14 global brands, with an aggregate reported revenue of 335.6 billion yen ($3.0B), posted year-over-year underlying revenue growth of +6.8% despite quarterly phasing headwinds for TAKHZYRO and IG. Takeda’s 5 key business areas with 708.0 billion yen ($6.4B) in reported revenue represented 87% of core revenues1.
    • GI with 210.5 billion yen ($1.9B) in reported revenue, with underlying revenue growth of +8% spearheaded by gut-selective ENTYVIO.
    • Rare Diseases with 155.5 billion yen ($1.4 B) in reported revenue declining -3% on an underlying basis, with HAE growth impacted by phasing, but remains in line with the current plan.
    • Plasma Derived Therapy (PDT) Immunology with 107.2 billion yen ($1.0B) in reported revenue declining -2% on an underlying basis, impacted by quarterly phasing of Immunoglobulin products, with full-year outlook unchanged.
    • Oncology with 121.4 billion yen ($1.1B) in reported revenue, with underlying revenue growth +9% driven by indication expansion across the portfolio.
    • Neuroscience with 113.4 billion yen ($1.0B) in reported revenue, with underlying revenue growth +3% driven by strong rebound of Vyvanse following impact of COVID-19 in the prior year.

1 Percentage of sales are based on Core revenue; adjusted to remove JPY 133.0B from sale of Japan diabetes portfolio recorded in revenue

Reported Operating Profit increased 48.6% Underlying Core Operating Profit Margin was 30.5% for Q1

  • Reported operating profit increased 48.6% to 248.6 billion yen ($2.2B) compared to FY2020 Q1, driven by a gain on the sale of the diabetes portfolio in Japan, lower purchase price accounting expenses and lower integration costs. These items more than offset a decrease in other operating income due to a one-time gain recorded in FY2020 Q1.
  • Underlying core operating profit for the current period declined -2.1% reflecting an increase in R&D investment and is expected to recover to “mid-single digit” growth for the full year.
  • Continued progress in debt pre-payment with approximately 242.9 billion yen toward $2.2 billion paid in FY2021 Q1.

Achieved several critical pipeline milestones to date in FY2021

  • Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine, approved in Japan for adults in May and expanded age indication to adolescents 12+ years old in July, with distribution underway.
  • Mobocertinib (TAK-788) filing under review in US, China, and other countries.

Key assumptions in FY2021 forecast

Company guidance reflects management’s expectations for continued business momentum across Takeda’s five key business areas, underlying revenue growth of its 14 global brands, and accelerated realization of cost synergies, while continuing to invest in R&D.

FY2021 guidance reflects the following key assumptions, including (1) Takeda expects at least one 505(b)2 competitor for subcutaneous VELCADE to launch in the U.S. around mid FY2021; (2) Takeda does not expect to restart sales of Natpara in the U.S. market in FY2021; and (3) FY2021 guidance does not include the impact of any potential further divestitures beyond what has already been disclosed by Takeda.

To date, Takeda has not experienced a material effect on its financial results as a result of the global spread of the novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19). Based on currently available information, Takeda believes that its financial results for FY2021 will not be materially affected by COVID-19 and, accordingly, Takeda's FY2021 forecast reflects this belief. However, the situation surrounding COVID-19 remains highly fluid, and future COVID-19-related developments in FY2021, including new or additional COVID-19 outbreaks and additional or extended lockdowns, shelter-in-place orders or other government action in major markets, could result in further or more serious disruptions to Takeda’s business, such as slowdowns in demand for Takeda’s products, supply chain related issues or significant delays in its clinical trial programs. These events, if they occur, could result in an additional impact on Takeda’s business, results of operations or financial condition, as well as result in significant deviations from Takeda’s FY2021 forecast.
