2. Reason for the differences
In fiscal 2014, Daiichi Sankyo reported profit for the year that was significantly higher than in the results of fiscal 2013, due to the gain on merger of subsidiary involved in the exchange of shares in Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited to shares in Sun Pharmaceutical Industries. (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 2014 also released today.
