2. Reasons for Revision
The revised forecast in the table above reflects the business momentum of
Takeda's 14 global brands and favorability of operating expenses and cost
synergies.
The revenue forecast has been decreased by 40.0 billion JPY, or 1.2%, to
3,260.0 billion JPY, predominantly reflecting the negative impact of foreign
currency, mostly the appreciation of the yen, and the NATPARA recall in the
U.S.*2, partially offset by upwardly revised assumptions for products such
as ENTYVIO, TAKECAB and VYVANSE.
Core Operating Profit has been increased by 20.0 billion JPY, or 2.2%, to
930.0 billion JPY, reflecting the positive impact from cost efficiencies and
synergies. The Operating Profit forecast has been increased by 56.0 billion
JPY, or 33.7%, to a loss of 110.0 billion JPY, reflecting the increase in
Core Operating Profit and revised assumptions for the full year impact of
purchase price accounting expenses*3.
Reported EPS has been increased by 60.74 JPY to a loss of 175.31 JPY,
benefitting from the recognition of a non-cash deferred tax benefit relating
to the Tax Reform in Switzerland.
*2 In September 2019, NATPARA was recalled in the U.S. due to an issue
related to the rubber septum of its cartridge.
*3 Takeda has made adjustments to the provisional fair value as of the
acquisition date of assets acquired through the acquisition of Shire
including NATPARA, and accordingly revised assumptions for the full year
impact of purchase price accounting. The revised forecast reflects decrease
in amortization expense of intangible assets and decreased amount charged to
cost of sales from unwinding of the fair value step-up on inventory.
3. Upgrading Management Guidance
Takeda has upwardly revised its full-year profit and margin guidance with
business momentum more than offsetting the recall of NATPARA in the U.S.

*4 Constant Exchange Rate growth compared to baseline of 3,300 billion JPY.
This baseline revenue is a pro-forma which adds Legacy Shire's (April -
December 2018) revenue previously reported under US GAAP and conformed to
IFRS without material differences, excluding Legacy Shire's oncology
business, which was sold in August 2018, and converted to JPY using FY2018
full year average rate (111 JPY/USD). Baseline revenue is also adjusted for
divested assets such as Techpool, Multilab, and TACHOSIL from Legacy Takeda
and XIIDRA from Legacy Shire.
