Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Revenue for Q2 FY2025 rose 10.5% year-on-year to JPY 975.4 billion, driven by strong oncology sales, especially Enhertu and Datroway, despite negative FX impact and vaccine business decline.
Core operating profit declined 4.8% year-on-year to JPY 158.6 billion, mainly due to higher SG&A, R&D, and inventory write-downs.
Net income attributable to owners fell 10.8% year-on-year to JPY 130.8 billion, impacted by one-time items, increased costs, and a higher tax rate.
Operating profit dropped 22.8% to JPY 144.2 billion, reflecting the absence of prior-year one-time gains and new temporary expenses.
Upward revision of full-year revenue forecast by JPY 100 billion to JPY 2.1 trillion, reflecting strong oncology growth and FX tailwinds.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
