Overview of Business Results

Qualitative Information about Consolidated Operating Results

For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, consolidated net sales of Daiichi Sankyo amounted to ¥725.6 billion (up 15.6% year on year).

Despite the appreciated Japanese yen compared with the same period last year, the Group’s revenue increased by a contribution of ¥102.1 billion from the net sales of Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited ("Ranbaxy"), which was consolidated as a subsidiary in November 2008.

In terms of profitability, operating income was ¥90.0 billion (down 8.2% year on year) as the Company proactively invested in research and development. Ordinary income was ¥90.6 billion (down 2.7% year on year). Net income was ¥39.2 billion (compared to a net loss of ¥297.8 billion year on year) which reflected cases including non-application for R&D tax credit and income tax amendments related to the previous fiscal year.

Information by Geographic Segment

■ Japan

Net sales in Japan amounted to ¥410.2 billion (down 1.6% year on year).

Net sales in the prescription drug business amounted to ¥333.9 billion (up 1.8% year on year). A contributing factor was the growth in sales of the antihypertensive Olmetec® and the anti-inflammatory analgesic Loxonin® brand.

Royalty income and exports to overseas licensees generated net sales of ¥38.0 billion (down 20.6% year on year), due in part to the effect of Japanese yen appreciation and the decrease in exports of levofloxacin, a synthetic antibacterial agent, resulting from inventory adjustments by licensees, among other factors.

Net sales of healthcare (OTC) products amounted to ¥35.0 billion (down 5.6% year on year). This drop reflected the decrease in sales of Gaster 10® and other Category 1 OTC drugs following the temporary confusion on the OTC market after the enforcement of the revised Pharmaceutical Affairs Law.

■ North America

Net sales in North America were ¥161.8 billion (up 14.1% year on year).

Although the shift toward a stronger yen negatively affected the net sales in the region, continued expansion in local currency terms of key products including the antihypertensive agents Benicar® and AZOR®, and the antihyperlipidemic / type 2 diabetes treatment Welchol®, along with the sales contribution of Ranbaxy.

■ Europe

Net sales in European regions amounted to ¥71.7 billion (up 38.9% year on year) due in part to the contribution of the net sales of Ranbaxy, and the growth in sales of antihypertensive agents Olmetec® and Sevikar®.

■ India

Net sales in India amounted to ¥44.8 billion due in part to the net sales of Ranbaxy.

■ Other regions

Net sales in other regions amounted to ¥36.9 billion (up 118.3% year on year) due in part to the sales contribution of Ranbaxy.
