2. Reason for revision of the consolidated financial forecasts
Despite growth in all regions as well as growth of global brands Halaven, Lenvima and Fycompa on a local currency basis, revenue is forecasted to be ¥548,000 million (about the same year on year) due to the impact of revisions to the assumed exchange rates based on recent foreign exchange trends.
Operating profit is forecasted to increase by ¥6,300 million from the previous forecast to ¥60,000 million (up 15.5% year on year). While Eisai continues to make proactive investment in priority research and development projects, positive contributions are anticipated such as growth in global brands, improved performance and efficiency in operations as well as one-off income following the acquisition of EA Pharma shares (gain from a bargain purchase).
As a result, profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent is forecast to be ¥41,300 million, ¥12,100 million higher (down 24.8% year on year) than the previous forecast.
Furthermore, Eisai intends to set the dividend for the period (second six-month period ending March 31, 2017) at ¥80 per share, with the forecast for the total dividend for the year remaining unchanged at ¥150 per share (same amount as the previous fiscal year).
- *Please note that actual business results may change due to several factors since the above-mentioned forecasts were made based on information available as of October 31, 2016.
