OSAKA, JAPAN & CAMBRIDGE, MASS.--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--Takeda (TOKYO:4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 (period ended December 31, 2023). With year-to-date strong momentum in its Growth & Launch Products (+12.7% at CER) offsetting the significant revenue impact of generic entrants, Takeda remains on track towards its full-year Management Guidance.

Takeda chief financial officer, Costa Saroukos, commented
“In FY2023 Q3 we made further progress in our vision to discover and deliver life-transforming treatments, receiving two new U.S. FDA approvals and broadening the reach of our existing portfolio with multiple life-cycle management approvals for our Growth & Launch Products.

“We remain on track towards our full-year Management Guidance at CER, reflecting significant generic impact, lower coronavirus vaccines revenue and investment in R&D and data, digital and technology to secure our long-term competitiveness, as well as continued strong momentum in our Growth & Launch Products.

“We continue to improve our debt profile with 100% of our debt now at fixed interest rates averaging 1.6%, and our financial foundation remains strong as we enter the fourth quarter of FY2023.”
