Shareholder Returns and Maximizing Corporate Value

1. Views on Cost of Capital and Market Valuation

Takeda’s management constantly assesses the Company’s cost of capital, profitability and market valuation utilizing various metrics relevant to our business.

While Takeda’s management reviews profitability using both reported and non-IFRS metrics, Takeda’s profitability on a reported basis is significantly impacted by non-core / non-cash items, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, as is the case with many other global pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, profitability and valuation metrics can be significantly impacted by unforeseeable factors, both internal and in the external business environment, and therefore it is difficult to predict or set targets on these metrics. Therefore, Takeda does not provide detailed forecasts other than single-year management guidance and financial forecasts, and descriptive goals for mid-to-long term revenue and profitability.

Guided by our commitment to patients, our people, and the planet, Takeda management firmly believes that our focus on delivering growth - through investment in our product portfolio, R&D, and business development - alongside our commitment to competitive total shareholder returns, will result in the realization of competitive market valuation in the mid-to-long term.

2. Dividends Overview

3. Shareholder Returns and Dividends

Takeda has adopted a progressive dividend policy of increasing or maintaining the annual dividend per share each year. In addition, Takeda may engage in the acquisition of its own shares when appropriate, including to enhance capital efficiency and improve shareholder returns.

Takeda distributes dividends twice a year. In FY2023, Takeda intends to return cash to shareholders with an annual dividend of 188 yen per ordinary share, consisting of interim and fiscal year-end dividends of 94 yen per share.

Takeda American Depositary Shares (ADS) are listed on the NYSE.

Please note that 2 ADSs represent 1 ordinary share, and therefore the ADS dividend amount is ½ of the ordinary share amount. The final US Dollar dividend amount will only become known at the timing of payment when our ADS Depositary, the Bank of New York Mellon, exchanges the dividends from Japanese Yen to US Dollars for ADS holders. The final USD amount will be stated on the Bank of New York Mellon’s website.
