Financial Performance

Takeda reported a year-to-date revenue decline of 2.8% at constant exchange rates (CER) and 3.3% at actual exchange rates (AER), with core operating profit decreasing by 3.4% at both CER and AER. However, reported operating profit increased by 1.2% at AER, driven by lower restructuring expenses offsetting impairment costs.

Impact of VYVANSE® Generics

The impact of VYVANSE® generics is tapering off, narrowing the gap between growth in new product revenue and VYVANSE erosion. Operational efficiencies have led to reductions in operating expenses, including R&D costs.

Future Growth and Drug Launches

Takeda is positioned for long-term growth with multiple late-stage programs having multibillion-dollar peak revenue potential. Following positive Phase 3 study results in 2025, the company has submitted New Drug Applications (NDAs) for oveporexton and rusfertide, with plans to file an NDA for zasocitinib. These programs are expected to launch within the next 18 months.
