(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TOKYO:4502):
Strong first half results led by Growth Drivers
Underlying Revenue grew +7.4%, led by a +15.3% increase of Takeda's Growth Drivers
(GI, Oncology, CNS and Emerging Markets). Reported revenue declined -5.9%, due to unfavorable currencies (-8.6pt) and the impact of divestitures (-4.7pt).
Underlying Core Earnings advanced +12.7% with the Core Earnings margin increasing by 0.7pt. Despite unfavorable currencies and the negative impact of divestitures, reported operating profit was up +46.7% benefiting from strong underlying growth and a one-time gain on the Teva JV transaction.
Underlying Core EPS was up +49.3%, reflecting strong Core Earnings growth and a lower tax rate due to timing. Reported EPS more than doubled to 159 yen, up from 69 yen in the prior year period.
Reported Operating Free Cash Flow was up 34.0% to 74.6 billion yen driven by continued working capital improvements.
