Revenue
Revenue for the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 was JPY 2,384.0 billion (JPY +282.3 billion and +13.4% AER, +5.0% CER). The increase is attributable to favorable foreign exchange rates and growth from business momentum of Plasma-Derived Therapies (“PDT”), Gastroenterology (“GI”), Oncology, Rare Diseases and Vaccines. The increase of these business areas was offset in part by a decrease in Neuroscience. The decrease in Neuroscience, which was partially mitigated by favorable foreign exchange rates, was largely attributable to continued generic erosion of sales of VYVANSE (for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”)) in the U.S., which began following loss of exclusivity in August 2023. In addition, revenue outside of our six key business areas decreased mainly due to the decline in sales of AZILVA (for hypertension), which were JPY 5.8 billion (JPY -17.8 billion and -75.4% AER, -75.4% CER) following the entry of generic competitors in Japan beginning in June 2023.

Year-on-year change in revenue for this six-month period in each of our business areas was primarily attributable to the following products:
GI
In GI, revenue was JPY 695.2 billion (JPY +98.3 billion and +16.5% AER, +7.6% CER).
Sales of ENTYVIO (for ulcerative colitis (“UC”) and Crohn’s disease (“CD”)) were JPY 473.2 billion (JPY +81.5 billion and +20.8% AER, +10.7% CER). Sales in the U.S. were JPY 326.6 billion (JPY +55.5 billion and +20.5% AER). The increase was due to favorable foreign exchange rates, increased demand in the first line biologic inflammatory bowel disease (“IBD”) population and initial patient gains after the launch of the subcutaneous formulation. Sales in Europe and Canada were JPY 112.5 billion (JPY +20.5 billion and +22.3% AER). The increase was primarily due to new patient gains by an increased use of the subcutaneous formulation and favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of GATTEX/REVESTIVE (for short bowel syndrome) were JPY 73.3 billion (JPY +14.4 billion and +24.4% AER, +14.6% CER). The increase was primarily due to increased demand in the U.S., expansion activities (pediatric indication label expansion), and favorable exchange rates.

Period Ended September 30, 2024 (Consolidated)
Rare Diseases
In Rare Diseases, revenue was JPY 388.7 billion (JPY +47.8 billion and +14.0% AER, +5.3% CER).
Sales of TAKHZYRO (for hereditary angioedema) were JPY 111.0 billion (JPY +24.0 billion and +27.5% AER, +16.7% CER). The increase was primarily due to higher demand in the U.S., Europe and Canada, and favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of enzyme replacement therapy ELAPRASE (for Hunter syndrome) were JPY 53.1 billion (JPY +7.4 billion and +16.3% AER, +8.0% CER). The increase was primarily due to favorable foreign exchange rates, and strong demand in the Growth and Emerging Markets.
Sales of LIVTENCITY (for post-transplant cytomegalovirus (“CMV”) infection/disease) were JPY 15.5 billion (JPY +7.2 billion and +86.2% AER, +70.5% CER). The increase was primarily attributable to strong market penetration and successful launch performance in the U.S., complemented by continued geographical expansion in Europe and the Growth and Emerging Markets.
Sales of enzyme replacement therapy REPLAGAL (for Fabry disease) were JPY 41.3 billion (JPY +5.1 billion and +14.1% AER, +6.9% CER). The increase was due to increased demand in the Growth and Emerging Markets, complemented by favorable foreign exchange rates.
PDT
In PDT, revenue was JPY 535.7 billion (JPY +105.5 billion and +24.5% AER, +14.3% CER).
Aggregate sales of immunoglobulin products were JPY 391.0 billion (JPY +81.9 billion and +26.5% AER, +15.9% CER). Sales of each of our three global immunoglobulin brands experienced double digit percentage sales growth, due to continued strong demand globally and growing supply, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates. Those include GAMMAGARD LIQUID/KIOVIG (for the treatment of primary immunodeficiency (“PID”) and multifocal motor neuropathy (“MMN”)), and subcutaneous immunoglobulin therapies (CUVITRU and HYQVIA) which are growing due to their benefit to patients and convenience in administration compared to intravenous therapies.
Aggregate sales of albumin products including HUMAN ALBUMIN and FLEXBUMIN (both primarily used for hypovolemia and hypoalbuminemia) were JPY 70.3 billion (JPY +11.4 billion and +19.3% AER, +11.0% CER). The increase was primarily driven by strong albumin demand in China, complemented by favorable foreign exchange rates.
Oncology
In Oncology, revenue was JPY 285.0 billion (JPY +59.8 billion and +26.6% AER, +18.7% CER).
Sales of FRUZAQLA (for colorectal cancer), which was first launched in the U.S. in November 2023, followed by several other countries, were JPY 23.1 billion.
Sales of ADCETRIS (for malignant lymphomas) were JPY 68.2 billion (JPY +14.0 billion and +25.7% AER, +17.4% CER). The increase was led by strong demand in the Growth and Emerging Markets, Europe and Canada, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of LEUPLIN/ENANTONE (for endometriosis, uterine fibroids, premenopausal breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc.) were JPY 60.4 billion (JPY +11.7 billion and +23.9% AER, +18.7% CER). The increase was due to the sales increase in the U.S, and favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of ICLUSIG (for leukemia) were JPY 35.4 billion (JPY +8.4 billion and +30.9% AER, +19.9% CER). The increase was due to steady growth in the U.S., complemented by U.S. regulatory approval of a new indication of newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in combination with chemotherapy in March 2024, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates.
Vaccines
In Vaccines, revenue was JPY 38.1 billion (JPY +20.3 billion and +114.0% AER, +107.0% CER).
Sales of QDENGA (for dengue) were JPY 19.9 billion (JPY +17.9 billion and +927.6% AER, +863.1% CER). The increase was due to the expansion of QDENGA availability in endemic countries, now reaching over 20 countries including non-endemic countries.
Sales of other vaccine products in aggregate increased primarily due to the approval of NUVAXOVID, a COVID-19 vaccine for the Omicron JN.1 variant, in Japan in September 2024.

Period Ended September 30, 2024 (Consolidated)
Neuroscience
In Neuroscience, revenue was JPY 314.6 billion (JPY -16.1 billion and -4.9% AER, -12.3% CER).
Sales of VYVANSE/ELVANSE (for ADHD) were JPY 203.2 billion (JPY -23.1 billion and -10.2% AER, -17.9% CER). The decrease was due to the multiple generic entrants in the U.S. starting from August 2023, while the growth of the adult market in Europe and favorable foreign exchange rates partially offset the negative impacts.
Sales of TRINTELLIX (for major depressive disorder ("MDD")) were JPY 64.1 billion (JPY +13.2 billion, and +25.8% AER, +16.1% CER). The increase was due to the sales increase in the U.S.
Sales of ADDERALL XR (for ADHD) were JPY 16.8 billion (JPY -5.8 billion and -25.6% AER, -31.5% CER). The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the availability of generic versions of the instant release formulation marketed by competitors in the U.S., after many months of supply disruptions, which negatively impacted ADDERALL XR.
Cost of Sales
Cost of Sales was JPY 781.3 billion (JPY +116.6 billion and +17.5% AER, +9.2% CER). The increase was primarily due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen and revenue growth in our six key business areas with a change in product mix as compared to the six-month period ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses were JPY 538.3 billion (JPY +37.2 billion and +7.4% AER, -0.4% CER). The increase was mainly due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen partially offset by various cost efficiencies.
Research and Development (R&D) expenses
R&D expenses were JPY 344.0 billion (JPY -2.7 billion and -0.8% AER, -8.3% CER). The decrease was mainly due to lower expenses attributable to termination of development programs such as modakafusp alfa (TAK-573) and EXKIVITY (for non-small cell lung cancer) partially offset by the depreciation of the Japanese yen.
Amortization and Impairment Losses on Intangible Assets Associated with Products
Amortization and Impairment Losses on Intangible Assets Associated with Products was JPY 305.2 billion (JPY -64.4 billion and -17.4% AER, -23.9% CER). Amortization expenses increased by JPY 23.6 billion mainly due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen. Impairment losses decreased by JPY 88.0 billion primarily due to higher impairment losses recorded for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023, including JPY 74.0 billion impairment charges for ALOFISEL (for complex Crohn's perianal fistulas) and JPY 28.5 billion for EXKIVITY (for non-small cell lung cancer). Impairment losses recorded for the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 includes a full impairment of intangible assets for soticlestat (TAK-935) amounting to JPY 21.5 billion following the results of the phase 3 studies.
Other Operating Income
Other Operating Income was JPY 13.9 billion (JPY +4.1 billion and +41.1% AER, +32.9% CER). The increase was mainly due to a JPY 6.1 billion gain recognized on completion of the sale of TACHOSIL (fibrin sealant patch), including a related manufacturing facility, during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Other Operating Expenses
Other Operating Expenses were JPY 78.5 billion (JPY -31.7 billion and -28.8% AER, -35.2% CER). The decrease was primarily due to higher reserve and provisions for legal proceedings during the six-month period ended September 30, 2023, including those recorded for the supply agreement litigation of AbbVie, Inc. (AbbVie), and favorable impact from reversal of valuation reserve for pre-launch inventories during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in restructuring expenses of JPY 23.1 billion mainly due to the enterprise-wide efficiency program during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Operating Profit
As a result of the above factors, Operating Profit was JPY 350.6 billion (JPY +231.3 billion and +194.0% AER, +173.1% CER).

Period Ended September 30, 2024 (Consolidated)
Net Finance Expenses
Net Finance Expenses were JPY 93.4 billion (JPY +11.6 billion and +14.1% AER, +10.3% CER). The increase of Net Finance Expenses was primarily due to an impairment loss of JPY 18.3 billion as a result of the classification of Teva Takeda Pharma Ltd. shares to the assets held for sale for the six-month period ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by an increase in interest income.
Share of Loss of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method
Share of Loss of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method was JPY 1.2 billion (JPY -2.9 billion, compared to Share of Profit of Investments Accounting for Using the Equity Method of JPY 1.6 billion for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023).
Income Tax (Expenses) Benefit
Income Tax Expenses was JPY 68.6 billion (JPY +71.0 billion, compared to Income Tax Benefit of JPY 2.4 billion for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023). The increase was primarily due to a tax expense reduction of JPY 63.5 billion recorded during the six-month period ended September 30, 2023 resulting from the reversal of the income taxes payable in excess of the settlement with Irish Revenue Commissioners with respect to a tax assessment related to the treatment of an acquisition break fee Shire received from AbbVie in 2014 as well as higher pretax earnings during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in tax expenses from the increase in tax credit recognized during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Net Profit for the Period
As a result of the above factors, Net Profit for the Period was JPY 187.4 billion (JPY +146.0 billion and +352.3% AER, +306.2% CER) and Net Profit for the Period attributable to owners of the Company was JPY 187.3 billion (JPY +145.9 billion and +352.8% AER, +306.6% CER).

Core Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
Core SG&A expenses were JPY 538.5 billion (JPY +37.1 billion and +7.4% AER, -0.5% CER). The increase was mainly due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen partially offset by various cost efficiencies.
Core Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
Core R&D expenses were JPY 344.1 billion (JPY -2.6 billion and -0.7% AER, -8.3% CER). The decrease was mainly due to lower expenses attributable to termination of development programs such as modakafusp alfa (TAK-573) and EXKIVITY (for non-small cell lung cancer) partially offset by the depreciation of the Japanese yen.
Core Net Profit for the Period
Core Net Profit for the Period was JPY 489.2 billion (JPY +81.4 billion and +20.0% AER, +8.9% CER) and Core Net Profit attributable to owners of the Company was JPY 489.1 billion (JPY +81.4 billion and +20.0% AER, +8.9% CER) and are calculated from Core Operating Profit as below:

Core Income Tax Expenses

Core EPS
Core EPS was JPY 310 (JPY +49 and +18.8% AER, +7.9% CER).

Assets
Total Assets as of September 30, 2024 were JPY 14,573.0 billion (JPY -535.8 billion). Mainly due to amortization and the effect of foreign currency translation, Intangible Assets decreased (JPY -504.1 billion). In addition, mainly due to the effect of foreign currency translation, Goodwill and Property, Plant and Equipment decreased (JPY -250.0 billion and JPY -102.2 billion). These decreases were partially offset by the increase of Cash and Cash Equivalents (JPY +401.2 billion).

Liabilities
Total Liabilities as of September 30, 2024 were JPY 7,651.4 billion (JPY -183.4 billion). Mainly due to various payments including the upfront payment to Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc., Trade and Other Payables decreased (JPY -134.2 billion). Due to decreased accrued expenses, Other Current Liabilities decreased (JPY -120.0 billion). Mainly due to the effect of foreign currency translation over the lease liabilities in the U.S., total Other Financial Liabilities decreased (JPY -70.9 billion). Mainly due to amortization of intangible assets and other decreases in deferred tax liabilities in the U.S., Deferred Tax Liabilities decreased (JPY -67.2 billion). Total Bonds and Loans were JPY 5,051.2 billion* (JPY +207.4 billion), which increased primarily due to the issuance of hybrid bonds and unsecured U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes partially offset by the redemption of unsecured senior notes and commercial paper during the six-month period ended September 30, 2024.

Following this, on June 25, 2024, Takeda issued 60-year unsecured Hybrid Bonds with an aggregate principal amount of JPY 460.0 billion and a maturity date of June 25, 2084.
On July 5, 2024, Takeda issued USD 3,000 million in unsecured U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes with maturity dates ranging from July 5, 2034 to July 5, 2064. The proceeds of the USD bond issuance were efficiently deployed to fund a tender offer to redeem USD 1,500 million in unsecured senior notes on July 12, 2024 in advance of their original maturity in September 2026, with the balance of proceeds deployed towards the reduction of commercial paper drawings in July 2024.
Equity
Total Equity as of September 30, 2024 was JPY 6,921.6 billion (JPY -352.4 billion). Mainly due to fluctuation in currency translation adjustments reflecting the appreciation of the Japanese yen, Other Components of Equity decreased (JPY -428.2 billion). This decrease was partially offset by the increase in Retained Earnings (JPY +40.5 billion) mainly due to the contribution from Net Profit for the Period while the decrease of JPY 147.7 billion related to dividend payments was recorded.

Net Cash used in Investing Activities was JPY 231.8 billion (JPY -95.3 billion).

Net Cash from Financing Activities
Net Cash from Financing Activities was JPY 206.3 billion (JPY +404.8 billion). The increase was mainly due to the issuance of hybrid bonds and unsecured U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes. This increase was partially offset by the redemption in full of outstanding commercial papers.

[Revenue]
Takeda expects FY2024 revenue to be JPY 4,480.0 billion, an increase of JPY 130.0 billion, or 3.0%, from the original forecast. This is primarily attributable to milder than anticipated generic erosion of VYVANSE after the loss of exclusivity in the U.S. and other business momentum as well as favorable overall changes in the assumptions of foreign exchange rates.
The Core Revenue forecast has been revised in the same way as the Revenue forecast.

[Operating Profit]
Operating Profit is expected to increase by JPY 40.0 billion, or 17.8%, from the original forecast to JPY 265.0 billion, reflecting the positive impact from VYVANSE due to milder than anticipated generic erosion in the U.S. This increase is partially offset by unfavorable impacts from other products, incremental operating expenses and foreign currency exchanges.
Core Operating Profit, which excludes impacts unrelated to the underlying trends and business performance of Takeda's core operations, is expected to be JPY 1,050.0 billion, an increase of JPY 50.0 billion, or 5.0%.

[Net profit for the year (attributable to owners of the Company)]
Net profit for the year (attributable to owners of the Company) is expected to be JPY 68.0 billion JPY, an increase of JPY 10.0 billion, or 17.2%, from the original forecast. Profit Before Tax is expected to increase by JPY 38.0 billion, or 69.1%, to JPY 93.0 billion, mainly reflecting the increase in Operating Profit. This increase in Profit Before Tax is expected to be partially offset by higher tax charges, mainly due to the write-down of deferred tax assets, resulting in an assumed effective tax rate of approximately 27%.
Reported EPS is expected to be JPY 43.03, an increase of JPY 6.33, or 17.2%, and Core EPS is expected to be JPY 456, an increase of JPY 26, or 5.9%.

(6) Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Significant Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern Assumption)
Not applicable.
(Material Accounting Policies)
Material accounting policies adopted for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those adopted for the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Takeda calculated income tax expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2024, based on the estimated average annual effective tax rate.

(Operating Segment Information)
Takeda comprises a single operating segment and is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, marketing and out-licensing of pharmaceutical products. This is consistent with how the financial information is viewed in allocating resources, measuring performance, and forecasting future periods by the CEO who is Takeda’s Chief Operating Decision Maker.
(Significant Changes in Equity Attributable to Owners of the Company)
Not applicable.
(Significant Subsequent Events)
On October 6, 2024, Takeda redeemed JPY 500,000 million in Hybrid subordinated bonds that were issued in June 2019, in advance of their original maturity of June 2079. The redemption was funded using the proceeds of the JPY 460,000 million Hybrid Bond issued on June 25, 2024 together with a JPY 40,000 million Syndicated Hybrid Loan drawn down on October 3, 2024. The impact from the accelerated debt repayment on the condensed interim consolidated statements of profit or loss was not material.

Definition and Explanation of Non-IFRS Measures and U.S. Dollar Convenience Translations
Core Financial Measures
Takeda’s Core Financial Measures, particularly Core Revenue, Core Operating Profit, Core Net Profit for the Year attributable to owners of the Company and Core EPS, exclude revenue from divestments, amortization and impairment losses on intangible assets associated with products (includes in-process R&D) and other impacts unrelated to the underlying trends and business performance of Takeda’s core operations, such as non-recurring items, purchase accounting effects and transaction related costs. Core Revenue represents revenue adjusted to exclude revenue items unrelated to the underlying trends and business performance of Takeda’s core operations. Core Operating Profit represents operating profit adjusted to exclude other operating expenses and income, amortization and impairment losses on intangible assets associated with products (includes in-process R&D) and non-cash items or items unrelated to the underlying trends and business performance of Takeda’s core operations. Core EPS represents net profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company, adjusted to exclude the impact of items excluded in the calculation of Core Operating Profit, and other non-operating items (e.g. amongst other items, fair value adjustments and the imputed financial charge related to contingent consideration) that are unusual, non-recurring in nature or unrelated to the underlying trends and business performance of Takeda’s ongoing operations and the tax effect of each of the adjustments, divided by the average outstanding shares (excluding treasury shares) of the reporting periods presented.
Takeda presents its Core Financial Measures because Takeda believes that these measures are useful to understanding its business without the effect of items that Takeda considers to be unrelated to the underlying trends and business performance of its core operations, including items (i) which may vary significantly from year-to-year or may not occur in each year, or (ii) whose recognition Takeda believes is largely uncorrelated to trends in the underlying performance of our core business. Takeda believes that similar measures are frequently used by other companies in its industry, and that providing these measures helps investors evaluate Takeda’s performance against not only its performance in prior years but on a similar basis as its competitors. Takeda also presents Core Financial Measures because these measures are used by Takeda for budgetary planning and compensation purposes (i.e., certain targets for the purposes of Takeda’s Short-Term Incentive and Long-Term Incentive compensation programs, including incentive compensation of the CEO and CFO, are set in relation to the results of Takeda’s Core Financial Measures).
Constant Exchange Rate (“CER”) Change
Constant Exchange Rate (CER) change eliminates the effect of foreign exchange rates from year-over-year comparisons by translating financial results in accordance with IFRS or Core (non-IFRS) financial measures for the current period using corresponding exchange rates in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Takeda presents CER change because we believe that this measure is useful to investors to better understand the effect of exchange rates on our business, and to understand how our results of operations might have changed from year to year without the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates. These are the primary ways in which our management uses these measures to evaluate our results of operations. We also believe that this is a useful measure for investors as similar performance measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the results of operations of other companies in our industry (many of whom similarly present measures that adjust for the effect of exchange rates).
The usefulness of this presentation has significant limitations including, but not limited to, that while CER change is calculated using the same exchange rates used to calculate financial results as presented under IFRS for the previous fiscal year, this does not necessarily mean that the transactions entered into during the relevant fiscal year could have been entered into or would have been recorded at the same exchange rates. Moreover, other companies in our industry using similarly titled measures may define and calculate those measures differently than we do, and therefore such measures may not be directly comparable. Accordingly, CER change at constant exchange rates should not be considered in isolation and is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for change in financial results as prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. Starting from the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we ceased adjustments for CER change for the results of operations of subsidiaries in countries experiencing hyperinflation and for which IAS29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies, is applied, because of the increased impacts of hyperinflation in the calculation of CER change using corresponding exchange rates in the same period of the previous fiscal year, effectively keeping CER change for these subsidiaries unchanged from those reported with IAS29.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Takeda defines Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less acquisition of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”). Takeda defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities, subtracting payments for acquisition of PP&E, intangible assets, investments (excluding debt investments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and businesses, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired, and other transactional payments deemed related or similar in substance thereto as well as adding proceeds from sales of PP&E, sales and redemption of investments (excluding debt investments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and sales of businesses, net of cash and cash equivalents divested, and further adjusting for the movement of any other cash that is not available to Takeda’s immediate or general business use.
Takeda presents Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow because Takeda believes that these measures are useful to investors as similar measures of liquidity are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is also used by our management to evaluate our liquidity and our cash flows, particularly as they relate to our ability to meet our liquidity requirements and to support our capital allocation policies. Takeda also believes that Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are helpful to investors in understanding how our strategic acquisitions and divestitures of businesses contribute to our cash flows and liquidity.
The usefulness of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to investors has significant limitations including, but not limited to, (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, including those in our industry, (ii) they do not reflect the effect of our current and future contractual and other commitments requiring the use or allocation of capital and (iii) the addition of proceeds from sales and redemption of investments and the proceeds from sales of business, net of cash and cash equivalents divested do not represent cash received from our core ongoing operations. Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation and are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with IFRS. The most directly comparable measure under IFRS for Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow is net cash from operating activities. Starting from the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we i) changed the title of Free Cash Flow as previously represented to "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" and ii) began reporting “Free Cash Flow” as cash flows from operating activities less acquisition of PP&E. This change is intended to enhance the comparability of our Free Cash Flow disclosures to those of our peers and to better describe the nature of these measures as presented by Takeda.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Takeda defines EBITDA as consolidated net profit before income tax expenses, depreciation and amortization and net interest expense. Takeda defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude impairment losses, other operating income and expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization), finance income and expenses (excluding net interest expense), our share of loss from investments accounted for under the equity method and other items that management believes are unrelated to our core operations such as purchase accounting effects and transaction related costs.
Takeda presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because Takeda believes that these measures are useful to investors as they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Primarily, Adjusted EBITDA is used by Takeda for the purposes of monitoring its financial leverage. Takeda further believes that Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to investors in identifying trends in its business that could otherwise be obscured by certain items unrelated to ongoing operations because they are highly variable, difficult to predict, may substantially impact our results of operations and may limit the ability to evaluate our performance from one period to another on a consistent basis.
The usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to investors has significant limitations including, but not limited to, (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, including those in the pharmaceutical industry, (ii) they exclude financial information and events, such as the effects of an acquisition, or amortization of intangible assets, that some may consider important in evaluating Takeda’s performance, value or prospects for the future, (iii) they exclude items or types of items that may continue to occur from period to period in the future and (iv) they may not include all items which investors may consider important to an understanding of our results of operations, or exclude all items which investors may not consider to be so. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation and are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for operating income, net profit for the year or any other measure of performance presented in accordance with IFRS. The most closely comparable measure presented in accordance with IFRS is net profit for the period.

A-2

Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt
Takeda defines Net Debt as the book value of bonds and loans on consolidated statements of financial position adjusted only for cash and cash equivalents, and Adjusted Net Debt first by calculating the sum of the current and non-current portions of bonds and loans as shown on our consolidated statement of financial position, which is then adjusted to reflect (i) the use of prior 12-month average exchange rates for non-JPY debt outstanding at the beginning of the period and the use of relevant spot rates for new non-JPY debt incurred and existing non-JPY debt redeemed during the reporting period, which reflects the methodology our management uses to monitor our leverage, and (ii) the “equity credit” applied to Takeda’s “hybrid” subordinated indebtedness by S&P Global Rating Japan in recognition of the equity-like features of those instruments pursuant to such agency’s ratings methodology. To calculate Adjusted Net Debt, Takeda deducts from this figure cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash temporarily held by Takeda on behalf of third parties related to vaccine operations and to the trade receivables sales program, and debt investments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy being recorded as Other Financial Assets.
Takeda presents Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt because Takeda believes that these measures are useful to investors in that our management uses it to monitor and evaluate our indebtedness, net of cash and cash equivalents, and, in conjunction with Adjusted EBITDA, to monitor our financial leverage (for the avoidance of doubt, Adjusted Net Debt and the ratio of Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be indicators of Takeda’s liquidity). Takeda also believes that similar measures of indebtedness are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Particularly following the acquisition of Shire, investors, analysts and, in particular, ratings agencies, have closely monitored Takeda’s leverage, as represented by the ratio of its Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA. In light of the weight given by ratings agencies in particular to this ratio, Takeda believes that such information is useful to investors to help understand not only Takeda’s financial leverage, but also how ratings agencies evaluate the level of financial leverage in evaluating Takeda’s quality of credit. Accordingly, as described below, Takeda includes an adjustment to its Adjusted Net Debt to reflect the “equity credit” afforded to certain of its subordinated indebtedness by ratings agencies (such indebtedness does not qualify for treatment as equity under IFRS).
The usefulness of Adjusted Net Debt to investors has significant limitations including, but not limited to, (i) it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, including those in the pharmaceutical industry, (ii) it does not reflect the amounts of interest payments to be paid on Takeda’s indebtedness, (iii) it does not reflect any restrictions on Takeda’s ability to prepay or redeem any of our indebtedness, (iv) it does not reflect any fees, costs or other expenses that Takeda may incur in converting cash equivalents to cash, in converting cash from one currency into another or in moving cash within our consolidated group, (v) it applies to gross debt an adjustment for average foreign exchange rates which, although consistent with Takeda’s financing agreements, does not reflect the actual rates at which Takeda would be able to convert one currency into another and (vi) it reflects an equity credit despite the fact that Takeda’s subordinated bonds are not eligible for equity treatment under IFRS, although Takeda believes this adjustment to be reasonable and useful to investors. Adjusted Net Debt should not be considered in isolation and is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for bonds and loans or any other measure of indebtedness presented in accordance with IFRS. The most directly comparable measures under IFRS for Net Debt is bonds and loans. Starting from the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we i) changed the title of Net Debt as previously represented to "Adjusted Net Debt" and ii) began reporting “Net Debt” as the book value of bonds and loans on consolidated statements of financial position adjusted only for cash and cash equivalents. This change is intended to enhance the comparability of our Net Debt disclosures to those of our peers and to better describe the nature of these measures as presented by Takeda.

This report and any materials distributed in connection with this report may contain forward-looking statements, beliefs or opinions regarding Takeda’s future business, future position and results of operations, including estimates, forecasts, targets and plans for Takeda. Without limitation, forward-looking statements often include words such as “targets”, “plans”, “believes”, “hopes”, “continues”, “expects”, “aims”, “intends”, “ensures”, “will”, “may”, “should”, “would”, “could”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “projects”, "forecasts", "outlook" or similar expressions or the negative thereof. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements: the economic circumstances surrounding Takeda’s global business, including general economic conditions in Japan and the United States; competitive pressures and developments; changes to applicable laws and regulations; challenges inherent in new product development, including uncertainty of clinical success and decisions of regulatory authorities and the timing thereof; uncertainty of commercial success for new and existing products; manufacturing difficulties or delays; fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates; claims or concerns regarding the safety or efficacy of marketed products or product candidates; the impact of health crises, like the novel coronavirus pandemic; the success of our environmental sustainability efforts, in enabling us to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions or meet our other environmental goals; the extent to which our efforts to increase efficiency, productivity or cost-savings, such as the integration of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, in our business or other initiatives to restructure our operations will lead to the expected benefits; and other factors identified in Takeda’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and Takeda’s other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, available on Takeda’s website at: https://www.takeda.com/investors/sec-filings-and-security-reports/ or at www.sec.gov.

Financial Information and Non-IFRS Measures
Takeda’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
This report and materials distributed in connection with this report include certain financial measures not presented in accordance with IFRS, such as Core Revenue, Core Operating Profit, Core Net Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company, Core EPS, Constant Exchange Rate (“CER”) change, Net Debt, Adjusted Net Debt, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Takeda’s management evaluates results and makes operating and investment decisions using both IFRS and non-IFRS measures included in this presentation. These non-IFRS measures exclude certain income, cost and cash flow items which are included in, or are calculated differently from, the most closely comparable measures presented in accordance with IFRS. Takeda’s non-IFRS measures are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and such non-IFRS measures should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, measures prepared in accordance with IFRS (which we sometimes refer to as “reported” measures). Investors are encouraged to review the definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measures. Beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2024, Takeda (i) changed its methodology for CER adjustments to results of subsidiaries in hyperinflation countries to present those results in a manner consistent with IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies, (ii) re-named Free Cash Flow as previously calculated as “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” (with “Free Cash Flow” to be reported as Operating Cash Flow less Property, Plant and Equipment), and (iii) re-named Net Debt as previously calculated as “Adjusted Net Debt” (with “Net Debt” to be reported as the book value of bonds and loans less cash and cash equivalents).
The usefulness of Core Financial Measures to investors has significant limitations including, but not limited to, (i) they are not necessarily identical to similarly titled measures used by other companies, including those in the pharmaceutical industry, (ii) they exclude financial information and events, such as the effects of non-cash expenses such as dispositions or amortization of intangible assets, that some may consider important in evaluating Takeda’s performance, value or prospects for the future, (iii) they exclude items or types of items that may continue to occur from period to period in the future (however, it is Takeda’s policy not to adjust out normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary to operate our business) and (iv) they may not include all items which investors may consider important to an understanding of our results of operations, or exclude all items which investors may not consider to be so.
