Overview of FY2014 2nd Quarter Results (1)
• Self-Medication Operation Group (Taisho, Japan)
– Results did not meet initial forecasts mainly due to the impact of
the consumption tax hike being greater than anticipated, and to
unsettled summer weather in Jul.- Sept.
• Self-Medication Operation Group (Overseas)
– Overall, performed largely as planned as a whole
– Sales up year on year due to contribution from brand acquisition
(Flanax)
– Results did not meet initial forecasts due to the sluggish
consumption caused by the political instability in Thailand
<For reference: Market conditions>
– Domestic OTC drugs market
FY2014 2Q (Apr.- Sept.): contracted 3.9% YOY
(Apr.- Jun.: contracted 6.4% YOY, Jul.- Sept.: contracted 1.5% YOY)
