Revenue
Revenue for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 was JPY 3,212.9 billion (JPY +141.6 billion and +4.6% AER, +0.0% CER). The increase is attributable to favorable foreign exchange rates and growth from business momentum of Plasma-Derived Therapies (“PDT”) Immunology, Gastroenterology (“GI”) and Rare Diseases. The increase of these business areas was offset by the decrease in Oncology and Neuroscience. Although the decrease was partially mitigated by favorable foreign exchange rates, it was largely impacted by generic erosion and intensified competition on certain products in the current period. In addition, revenue outside of our five key business areas decreased mainly due to lower revenue contribution from COVID-19 vaccines in Japan.

Year-on-year change in revenue for this nine-month period in each of our business areas was primarily attributable to the following products:
GI
In GI, revenue was JPY 936.1 billion (JPY +78.5 billion and +9.2% AER, +3.6% CER).
Sales of ENTYVIO (for ulcerative colitis (“UC”) and Crohn’s disease (“CD”)) were JPY 619.3 billion (JPY +71.4 billion and +13.0% AER, +6.6% CER). Sales in the U.S. were JPY 431.8 billion (JPY +43.5 billion and +11.2% AER). The increase was due to favorable foreign exchange rates and demand in the first line biologic inflammatory bowel disease (“IBD”) population primarily in UC. Sales in Europe and Canada were JPY 143.1 billion (JPY +20.7 billion and +16.9% AER). The increase was primarily due to favorable foreign exchange rates and new patient gains by an increased use of the subcutaneous formulation.
Sales of GATTEX/REVESTIVE (for short bowel syndrome) were JPY 90.0 billion (JPY +11.8 billion and +15.1% AER, +10.9% CER). The increase was primarily due to increased demand in the U.S., Europe and Japan, expansion activities (infant indication label expansion and geographic expansion), and favorable exchange rates.
Sales of TAKECAB/VOCINTI (for acid-related diseases) were JPY 90.3 billion (JPY +5.8 billion and +6.8% AER, +6.2% CER). The increase was primarily due to increased sales in Japan and the Growth and Emerging Markets including Brazil and China.
Sales of DEXILANT (for acid reflux disease) were JPY 36.1 billion (JPY -19.0 billion and -34.5% AER, -38.7% CER). The decrease was due to the loss of exclusivity and the termination of the authorized generics program in the U.S.
Rare Diseases
In Rare Diseases, revenue was JPY 585.1 billion (JPY +31.5 billion and +5.7% AER, +3.3% CER).
Revenue of Rare Hematology was JPY 230.0 billion (JPY -2.6 billion and -1.1% AER, -4.3% CER).
Sales of FEIBA (for hemophilia A and B) were JPY 28.9 billion (JPY -3.7 billion and -11.3% AER, -14.1% CER). The decrease was mainly due to competition in many countries as well as tender delays in Growth and Emerging Markets.
Sales of VONVENDI (for von Willebrand disease) were JPY 12.0 billion (JPY +2.8 billion and +30.6% AER, +22.5% CER). The increase was primarily due to increased demand in the U.S.
Sales of ADVATE (for hemophilia A) were JPY 93.9 billion (JPY +1.8 billion and +2.0% AER, -0.9% CER). The increase was attributable to favorable foreign exchange rates.
The increase of VONVENDI and ADVATE was partially offset by the decrease of other rare hematology products.

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (4502)
Summary of Financial Statements for the Nine-month
Period Ended December 31, 2023 (Consolidated)
Revenue of Rare Genetics and Other was JPY 355.0 billion (JPY +34.1 billion and +10.6% AER, +8.9% CER).
Sales of TAKHZYRO (for hereditary angioedema) were JPY 136.4 billion (JPY +19.5 billion and +16.7% AER, +11.5% CER). The continued growth was attributable to sustained launch momentum, expansion into new patient populations such as pediatrics, rising diagnosis rates, the growth of the prophylactic market, and favorable exchange rates.
Sales of LIVTENCITY (for post-transplant cytomegalovirus (“CMV”) infection/disease) were JPY 13.9 billion (JPY +6.6 billion and +90.8% AER, +78.8% 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.
Sales of enzyme replacement therapy ELAPRASE (for Hunter syndrome) were JPY 70.0 billion (JPY +5.0 billion and +7.7% AER, +7.5% CER). The increase was primarily due to strong demand in the Growth and Emerging Markets.
PDT Immunology
In PDT Immunology, revenue was JPY 611.2 billion (JPY +108.8 billion and +21.7% AER, +16.2% CER).
Aggregate sales of immunoglobulin products were JPY 485.7 billion (JPY +95.2 billion and +24.4% AER, +18.4% CER). Sales of each of our three global immunoglobulin brands marked double digit percentage of revenue 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 94.3 billion (JPY +8.8 billion and +10.2% AER, +6.9% CER). The increase was primarily driven by strong albumin demand in China.
Oncology
In Oncology, revenue was JPY 346.3 billion (JPY +1.3 billion and +0.4% AER, -2.2% CER).
Sales of VELCADE (for multiple myeloma) were JPY 4.1 billion (JPY -20.6 billion and -83.3% AER, -84.2% CER). The decrease was due to generic erosion in the U.S.
Sales of NINLARO (for multiple myeloma) were JPY 66.7 billion (JPY -9.2 billion and -12.1% AER, -15.1% CER). The decrease was due to intensified competition and decreased demand mainly in the U.S, partially aided by favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of ADCETRIS (for malignant lymphomas) were JPY 84.2 billion (JPY +18.5 billion and +28.1% AER, +27.9% CER). The increase was led by strong growth in Growth and Emerging Markets.
Sales of ICLUSIG (for leukemia) were JPY 41.5 billion (JPY +5.9 billion and +16.7% AER, +9.2% CER). The increase was due to steady growth in the U.S. and favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales of ALUNBRIG (for small-cell lung cancer) were JPY 21.1 billion (JPY +5.4 billion and +34.0% AER, +30.3% CER). The increase benefited from strong demand across all regions.
Sales of other Oncology products in aggregate increased year-on-year, including the contribution from FRUZAQLA (for colorectal cancer), a product newly launched in the U.S. in November 2023.
Neuroscience
In Neuroscience, revenue was JPY 474.9 billion (JPY -2.3 billion and -0.5% AER, -5.8% CER).
Sales of VYVANSE/ELVANSE (for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”)) were JPY 312.9 billion (JPY -22.6 billion and -6.7% AER, -12.1% 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 could only offset the negative impacts partially.
Sales of ADDERALL XR (for ADHD) were JPY 35.2 billion (JPY +16.2 billion and +84.7% AER, +73.5% CER). The increase was primarily due to a shortage of generic versions of the instant release formulation marketed by competitors in the U.S.
Sales of INTUNIV (for ADHD) were JPY 25.4 billion (JPY +8.8 billion and +52.7% AER, +50.2% CER). The increase was primarily due to buy-back of full rights in Japan.

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (4502)
Summary of Financial Statements for the Nine-month
Period Ended December 31, 2023 (Consolidated)
The increase of ADDERALL XR and INTUNIV was partially offset by the decrease of other neuroscience products such as ROZEREM (for insomnia), attributable to the continued impact of generic products in Japan.
Cost of Sales
Cost of Sales was JPY 1,044.2 billion (JPY +109.9 billion and +11.8% AER, +6.8% CER). The increase was primarily due to revenue growth in our five key business area with a change in product mix and the depreciation of Japanese yen as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was partially offset by a decrease in non-cash charges related to the unwind of the fair value step up on acquired inventories recognized in connection with the acquisition of Shire.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses were JPY 768.6 billion (JPY +26.1 billion and +3.5% AER, -1.3% CER). The increase was mainly due to the depreciation of Japanese yen partially offset by various cost efficiencies.
Research and Development (R&D) expenses
R&D expenses were JPY 534.1 billion (JPY +61.7 billion and +13.1% AER, +7.3% CER). The increase was mainly due to various investments in pipeline programs and the depreciation of Japanese yen.
Amortization and Impairment Losses on Intangible Assets Associated with Products
Amortization and Impairment Losses on Intangible Assets Associated with Products was JPY 507.0 billion (JPY +97.8 billion and +23.9% AER, +16.3% CER). The increase was mainly due to an increase in impairment charges for certain assets related to in-process R&D and marketed products and an increase of amortization expenses due to the depreciation of Japanese yen. The JPY 119.3 billion impairment losses recorded in the current period primarily includes JPY 74.0 billion impairment charges for ALOFISEL (for complex Crohn's perianal fistulas) following topline results of phase 3 ADMIRE-CD II trial and JPY 28.5 billion impairment charges following a decision to voluntarily withdraw EXKIVITY (for non-small cell lung cancer) globally.
Other Operating Income
Other Operating Income was JPY 10.8 billion (JPY -5.9 billion and -35.4% AER, -35.7% CER).
Other Operating Expenses
Other Operating Expenses were JPY 145.7 billion (JPY +18.0 billion and +14.1% AER, +9.1% CER). The increase was primarily driven by increases of restructuring expenses and additional losses recorded for the supply agreement litigation with AbbVie, Inc. (AbbVie) in the current period, partially offset by a decrease in valuation reserve for pre-launch inventories.
Operating Profit
As a result of the above factors, Operating Profit was JPY 224.1 billion (JPY -177.8 billion and -44.2% AER, -42.9% CER).
Net Finance Expenses
Net Finance Expenses were JPY 126.6 billion (JPY +54.9 billion and +76.7% AER, +77.9% CER). The increase of Net Finance Expenses compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year was primarily due to a decrease in financial income reflecting gains from acquisitions of prior equity method companies and a positive impact from the remeasurement of warrants to purchase stocks of company held by Takeda recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Share of Profit of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method
Share of Profit of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method was JPY 2.7 billion (JPY +5.9 billion, compared to Share of Loss of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method of JPY 3.1 billion in the same period of the previous fiscal year).
Income Tax (Expenses) Benefit
Income Tax Benefit was JPY 46.9 billion (JPY +88.2 billion, compared to Income Tax Expenses of JPY 41.3 billion in the same period of the previous fiscal year). The increase was primarily due to a tax expense reduction of JPY 63.5 billion 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 lower pretax earnings. These increases were partially offset by the tax charges from the write-down of deferred tax assets and legal entity restructuring in the current period.
Net Profit for the Period
Net Profit for the Period was JPY 147.2 billion (JPY -138.7 billion and -48.5% AER, -50.1% CER).

Summary of Financial Statements for the Nine-month
Period Ended December 31, 2023 (Consolidated)
(ii) Core Results (April 1 to December 31, 2023)
Definition of Core financial measures and Constant Exchange Rate change
Takeda uses the concept of Core financial measures for measuring financial performance. These measures are not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Core Revenue represents revenue adjusted to exclude significant items unrelated to Takeda's core operations.

Core Operating Profit represents net profit adjusted to exclude income tax expenses, the share of profit or loss of investments accounted for using the equity method, finance expenses and income, other operating expenses and income, amortization and impairment losses on acquired intangible assets and other items unrelated to Takeda’s core operations, such as non-recurring items, purchase accounting effects and transaction related costs.

Core EPS represents net profit 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 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.

Constant Exchange Rate (CER) change eliminates the effect of foreign exchange rates from year-over-year comparisons by translating Reported or Core results for the current period using corresponding exchange rates in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Core Revenue
Core Revenue for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 was JPY 3,212.9 billion (JPY +141.6 billion and +4.6% AER, +0.0% CER). There were no significant items unrelated to Takeda’s core operations excluded from revenue in the current period or in the same period of the previous fiscal year, and, accordingly, Core Revenue for these periods is the same as Reported Revenue. Business momentum was led by Takeda’s Growth and Launch Products* which totaled JPY 1,384.7 billion (JPY +216.6 billion and +18.5% AER, +12.7% CER).

Core Operating Profit
Core Operating Profit for the current period was JPY 865.6 billion (JPY -89.1 billion and -9.3% AER, -12.7% CER). The decrease was primarily due to a change in product mix and investments in various pipeline programs and data and technology.

The amount of change from the previous fiscal year-end is presented based on Actual Exchange Rates.
Assets.
Total Assets as of December 31, 2023 were JPY 14,222.9 billion (JPY +265.2 billion). The increases of Goodwill, Inventories, and Property, Plant and Equipment (JPY +320.6 billion, JPY +183.2 billion, JPY +150.3 billion, respectively) were mainly due to the effect of foreign currency translation. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents (JPY -245.2 billion). In addition, Intangible Assets decreased (JPY -172.6 billion) mainly due to amortization along with impairments partially offset by the effect of foreign currency translation.

Liabilities.
Total Liabilities as of December 31, 2023 were JPY 7,480.3 billion (JPY -122.7 billion). The decrease of Trade and Other Payables (JPY -165.6 billion) was primarily due to payments for the remaining upfront payment related to the acquisition of TAK-279 from Nimbus Therapeutics, LLC (Nimbus) and the exclusive license agreement with HUTCHMED (China) Limited (HUTCHMED). The decrease of Income Taxes Payable (JPY -140.4 billion) was mainly due to income taxes paid during the current period. In addition, Deferred Tax Liabilities decreased (JPY -137.6 billion). These decreases were partially offset by an increase in Bonds and Loans (JPY +281.8 billion) due to the issuance of commercial paper and the effect of foreign currency translation. Total Bonds and Loans were JPY 4,664.2 billion*.

* The carrying amount of Bonds was JPY 3,927.6 billion and Loans was JPY 736.5 billion as of December 31, 2023. Breakdown of Bonds and Loans' carrying amount is as follows.

Following this, Takeda redeemed USD 1,000 million of unsecured senior notes issued in September 2016 on their maturity date of September 23, 2023.

Takeda had short term commercial paper drawings outstanding of JPY 320.0 billion as at December 31, 2023.
Equity.
Total Equity as of December 31, 2023 was JPY 6,742.6 billion (JPY +387.9 billion). The increase of Other Components of Equity (JPY +481.5 billion) was mainly due to fluctuation in currency translation adjustments reflecting the depreciation of Japanese yen. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in Retained Earnings (JPY -144.3 billion) mainly due to the decrease of JPY 287.8 billion related to dividends payments while Net Profit for the Period contributed to an increase.

Net cash from operating activities
Net cash from operating activities for the current period was JPY 437.8 billion (JPY -245.7 billion). The decrease was due to unfavorable impacts from Changes in Assets and Liabilities, unfavorable impacts from a lower net profit for the period adjusted for non-cash items and other adjustments, and other changes.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was JPY 402.4 billion (JPY +233.8 billion). This increase was mainly due to an increase in Acquisition of Intangible Assets related to the acquisition of TAK-279 from Nimbus and the exclusive license agreement with HUTCHMED.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was JPY 296.2 billion (JPY -406.4 billion). The decrease was mainly due to a net increase in commercial paper drawings of JPY 280.0 billion, a net decrease in redemption of bonds of JPY 60.9 billion, and the settlement of cross currency interest rate swaps related to bonds during the current period.

Tax Assessment Settlement with Irish Revenue Commissioners
Shire received a tax assessment from the Irish Revenue Commissioners (“Irish Revenue”) on November 28, 2018 for EUR 398 million. This assessment relates to the tax treatment of the USD 1,635 million break fee Shire received from AbbVie in connection with the terminated offer to acquire Shire made by AbbVie in 2014. Shire was acquired by Takeda in January 2019. Takeda appealed the assessment to the Tax Appeals Commission (“TAC”) and the appeal was heard by the TAC in late 2020. On July 30, 2021, Takeda received a ruling on the matter from the TAC, with the TAC ruling in favor of the Irish Revenue and recorded an income taxes payable for the case. Subsequently, on October 17, 2023, Takeda agreed with the Irish Revenue to settle the tax assessment for EUR 130 million including interest and without penalties, as a full and final settlement of all liabilities in relation to the receipt of the break fee. As a result, Takeda reversed its income taxes payable in excess of the settlement amount of EUR 130 million and recorded JPY 63.5 billion reduction to tax expenses for the current period. Takeda made a payment in the settlement in the three-month period ended December 31, 2023.
AbbVie Supply Agreement Litigation
In November 2020, AbbVie brought suit against Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”) in Delaware Chancery Court alleging Takeda breached its agreement with AbbVie related to the supply of LUPRON in the U.S. due to shortages arising from quality issues the U.S. Food & Drug Administration identified concerning Takeda’s production facility in Hikari, Japan as part of a Form 483 issued in November 2019 and a Warning Letter issued in June 2020. In the litigation, AbbVie sought both preliminary injunctive relief and monetary damages. In September 2021, the court issued an order denying AbbVie’s request for injunctive relief. The court subsequently issued a decision finding Takeda in breach of the supply agreement. In September 2023, the court issued a decision regarding the quantification of AbbVie’s monetary damages and subsequently entered judgment in December 2023. In accordance with the judgment, Takeda will pay USD 506 million, including interest, in April 2024. Takeda had established a provision against this case during the course of the litigation and, as a result of the court’s September 2023 decision, recorded an additional JPY 25.3 billion loss in other operating expenses and JPY 6.6 billion in finance expenses for the interest for the current period.

Definition of Core Financial Measures, Constant Exchange Rate Change, Free Cash Flow, and U.S. Dollar Convenience Translations

Core Revenue represents revenue adjusted to exclude significant items unrelated to Takeda’s core operations.

Core Operating Profit represents net profit adjusted to exclude income tax expenses, the share of profit or loss of investments accounted for using the equity method, finance expenses and income, other operating expenses and income, amortization and impairment losses on acquired intangible assets and other items unrelated to Takeda’s core operations, such as non-recurring items, purchase accounting effects and transaction related costs.

Core EPS represents net profit 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 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.

Constant Exchange Rate (CER) change eliminates the effect of foreign exchange rates from year-over-year comparisons by translating Reported or Core results for the current period using corresponding exchange rates in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

We present Free Cash Flow because we believe that this measure is 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. 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. We also believe that Free Cash Flow is helpful to investors in understanding how our strategic divestitures of non-core businesses and of portions of our investment portfolio contribute to the cash flows and liquidity available to us.

We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities, subtracting acquisition of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), intangible assets and investments as well as removing any other cash that is not available to Takeda’s immediate or general business use, and adding proceeds from sales of PP&E, as well as from sales of investments and businesses, net of cash and cash equivalents divested.

The usefulness of Free Cash Flow 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 our industry, (ii) it does 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 reflect cash received from our core ongoing operations. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation and is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute 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 is net cash from operating activities.

U.S. Dollar Convenience Translations
In Financial Appendix, certain amounts presented in Japanese yen have been translated to U.S. dollars solely for the convenience of the reader at an exchange rate of 1USD = 140.92 JPY, the Noon Buying Rate certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on December 29, 2023. The rate and methodologies used for the convenience translations differ from the currency exchange rates and translation methodologies under IFRS used for the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The translation should not be construed as a representation that the Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate.

Definition of EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe 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. We further believe 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.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to operating income, net profit for the year or any other measure of performance presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.
The usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to investors has 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 exclude financial information and events, such as the effects of an acquisition or amortization of intangible assets, that some may consider important in evaluating our 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 exclude all items which investors may consider to be unrelated to our long-term operations. These non-IFRS measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for IFRS reported net income (loss). We encourage investors to review our historical financial statements in their entirety and caution investors to use IFRS measures as the primary means of evaluating our performance, value and prospects for the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures.
We define EBITDA as consolidated net profit before income tax expenses, depreciation and amortization and net interest expense. We define 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.
The most closely comparable measure presented in accordance with IFRS is net profit for the period. Please refer to Net Profit to Adjusted EBITDA Bridge for a reconciliation to the respective most closely comparable measures presented in accordance with IFRS.
We present Net Debt because we believe that it is 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 leverage. We also believe that similar measures of indebtedness are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
We define 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) a 50% equity credit applied to our aggregate principal amount of JPY 500.0 billion hybrid (subordinated) bonds issued in June 2019 by S&P Global Rating Japan in recognition of the equity-like features of those bonds pursuant to such agency’s ratings methodology. To calculate Net Debt, we deduct from this figure cash & 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.
The usefulness of 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 our industry, (ii) it does not reflect the amounts of interest payments to be paid on our indebtedness, (iii) it does not reflect any restrictions on our ability to prepay or redeem any of our indebtedness, (iv) it does not reflect any fees, costs or other expenses that we 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 our financing agreements, does not reflect the actual rates at which we would be able to convert one currency into another and (vi) it reflects an equity credit due to the fact that the amounts of our subordinated bonds, although we believe it to be reasonable, do not affect the status of those instruments as indebtedness. 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. Please refer to Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for a reconciliation to this measure.

For the calculation of net debt, starting from the quarter ended June 30, 2023, debt investments classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy being recorded as Other Financial Assets are included in the items deducted from gross debt. Had the same methodology been used for the calculation of net debt as of March 31, 2023 and prior periods, net debt would have remained unchanged.
*2 FX adjustment refers to change from month-end rate to average rate used for non-JPY debt calculation outstanding at the beginning of the period to match with adjusted EBITDA (which is calculated based on average rates). New non-JPY debt incurred and existing non-JPY debt redeemed during the reporting period are translated to JPY at relevant spot rates as of the relevant date.
*3 Bonds and loans of current and non-current liabilities. JPY 250.0 billion reduction in debt due to JPY 500.0 billion hybrid bond issuance in June 2019, given that the hybrid bond qualifies for 50% equity credit for leverage purposes. Includes non-cash adjustments related to debt amortization and FX impact.

Financial Information and Certain Non-IFRS Financial 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, Core EPS, Constant Exchange Rate (“CER”) change, Net Debt, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and 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. By including these non-IFRS measures, management intends to provide investors with additional information to further analyze Takeda’s performance and core results, including when controlling for the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates. 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 financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measures.
