2. Reason for the differences
Owing to a gain on merger of subsidiaries derived from the exchange of shares in Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited to shares in Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, significant differences in profit for the year have arisen between the results of fiscal 2015 and the results of fiscal 2014. (Daiichi Sankyo does not typically disclose the forecast of profit for the year, so it discloses the fact only when there is a significant difference between the actual results of profit for the year and that of the previous fiscal year).
The above figures for revenue, operating profit, profit before tax, profit for the year, profit attributable to owners of the Company, and basic earnings per share are the same as those disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Results for Fiscal 2015 also released today.
