-- Core Revenue Growth of 7.4% at Actual Exchange Rates $(AER)$, + 2.8% at Constant Exchange Rate $(CER.UK)$ in FY2024 -- Core Operating Profit Growth of 4.9% at CER with Efficiency Program Driving Cost Savings -- Up to Six New Molecular Entities in Phase 3 Development in FY2025 with Three Phase 3 Data Readouts Recently Completed or Anticipated -- FY2025 Outlook for Broadly Flat Revenue and Core Profit Reflecting Product Momentum and Increasing Investment in New Launch Preparation -- Proposed Dividend Increase from JPY 196 to JPY 200 OSAKA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 08, 2025--
Takeda (TOKYO:4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced financial results for fiscal year 2024 (period ended March 31, 2025) with continued strong momentum in Growth & Launch Products offsetting loss of exclusivity impact to drive revenue and Core Operating Profit growth, supported by robust cost management.
Takeda has built a high-value late-stage pipeline with potentially life-transforming new treatment options for patients. Following a positive Phase 3 readout for rusfertide in Oncology in March 2025, the company anticipates a further two Phase 3 readouts in core therapeutic areas this fiscal year.
FY2025 Management Guidance at CER reflects residual carry-over of VYVANSE$(R)$ generic impact, continued efficiency savings and investment in R&D and launch preparation for Takeda's late-stage pipeline.
Takeda chief executive officer, Christophe Weber, commented:
"Takeda delivered excellent results in FY2024. Our return to Core Operating Profit margin growth underscores the strength of our Growth & Launch Products portfolio and the ability of our multi-year efficiency program to deliver meaningful cost savings.
"FY2025 will be a pivotal year as we invest in launch readiness for the late-stage pipeline, which will contribute to our broadly flat Core Operating Profit outlook for FY2025 but will be key to achieving Takeda's long-term growth potential."
Takeda chief financial officer, Milano Furuta, commented:
"Takeda's success in delivering revenue and Core Operating Profit growth in FY2024 and our outlook for broadly flat revenue and profit in FY2025, demonstrates our ability to manage through one of the largest generic impacts on our business in Takeda's history while progressing a highly promising late-stage pipeline. Our performance and outlook speak to the strength of our Growth & Launch Products, our innovative pipeline and the resilience of our organization as a whole.
"Takeda is now at an inflection point, with multiple anticipated Phase 3 data readouts this fiscal year, and I'm excited about our growth trajectory."
