of ENTYVIO™ (vedolizumab). And we 
explain how our pipeline has evolved to 
now include six new molecular entities in

We also provide examples from 
our Vienna and Los Angeles sites 
to illustrate how we can limit our 
impact on the planet while investing 
in our manufacturing network. 
In each section there are stories of 
how we are accelerating our progress 
through the use of data, digital and 
technology and strengthening the 
skills of our people to create internal 
digital leaders. This is our commitment 
to Takeda colleagues to ensure we all 
remain competitive in a fast-moving 
environment. This is also how we will 
continue to create the best diverse 
and inclusive environment, in which 
everyone can contribute and thrive. 
I am proud of the continued progress 
we have made this year towards our 
ambition to be the most trusted, 
science-driven, digital biopharmaceutical 
company and to deliver on our purpose 
of better health for people and a 
brighter future for the world. I look 
forward to building on this momentum 
together in 2024 and beyond. 
Christophe Weber 
President and Chief Executive Officer 
Dear stakeholders, 
One trait that defines Takeda is our 
values. We feel a deep responsibility 
to uphold the company’s hard-earned 
reputation and drive sustainable 
business to deliver on our vision to 
discover and deliver life-transforming 
treatments. Every decision we make 
is guided by our values of Takeda-ism, 
which incorporates Integrity, Fairness, 
Honesty, and Perseverance, with 
Integrity at the core. These values are 
brought to life through actions based 
on Patient-Trust-Reputation-Business: 
doing the right thing for Patients, 
reinforcing Trust and our Reputation and 
developing our Business, in that order. 
Our sustainability approach is centered 
on three imperatives: Patient, People 
and Planet, enabled by data, digital 
and technology, including artificial 
intelligence (AI), and in our 2024 Annual 
Integrated Report, we are pleased 
to share the progress we have made 
against each of these imperatives. 
In this year’s report, we highlight 
how, together with our partners, we 
are tackling meaningful challenges 
– from advancing equitable access 
to health care to protecting 
people and communities from the 
impacts of climate change. 
We celebrate key milestones including 
the approval and launch of three new 
therapies and recognize the efforts 
it took to bring them to patients. We

INTRODUCTION 

 
A message from our Chief 
Global Corporate Affairs and 
Sustainability Officer 
TAKAKO OHYABU 
Chief Global Corporate Affairs 
and Sustainability Officer 
Sustainability at Takeda is 
about how we run our business; 
it’s upholding our corporate 
philosophy for the benefit of patients, 
people and the planet; fulfilling 
our commitment to stakeholders; 
and ultimately contributing to the 
betterment of society. 
All Takeda employees across the 
world share this philosophy and give 
life to it through day-to-day actions. 
As a result, we continue to produce 
tangible results that are powering our 
core business in a sustainable way. 
In 2023, as our teams worked to 
operationalize sustainability across 
the organization, it was a privilege 
to visit some of our global sites 
to witness these actions taking 
place. By utilizing data, digital and 
technology and ingenuity our people 
are bringing value through the lens 
of sustainability. 
Responsible management of 
finite resources is fundamental 
for continuously delivering our 
life-transforming treatments for 
patients and communities in need. 
While taking part in the Plasma-
Derived Therapies (PDT) team’s 
town hall meeting in September 
in the United States, it was a 
pleasure to learn firsthand how 
they are taking action to overcome 
the challenge of a limited plasma 
supply. One way is by reducing the 
necessary dosage of medicines 
through innovative technologies. 
This not only would help us treat 
more people and alleviate individual 
patient treatment burdens, but could 
also lead to reducing our costs and 
potential increased investment in 
innovation — efforts that align with 
our commitment to patients. 
Throughout the town hall meeting, 
the true passion of the PDT team 
was evident. The recent approval of 
HYQVIA® (Immune Globulin Infusion  
10% (Human) with Recombinant 
Human Hyaluronidase) in the United 
States1 and European Union (EU)2 and 
GAMMAGARD LIQUID® in the United 
States,3 are tangible examples of 
innovation resulting from a patient-
centric approach, and the seeds of this 
success can be indirectly traced back 
to our colleagues working hard in R&D 
to improve our therapies for patients. 
This year, there was a noticeable shift 
in mindset as discussions increasingly 
centered on the undeniable link 
between human health and the health 
of our planet. This interdependence 
emerged as a prominent theme 
at COP28, where the inaugural 
Health Day was a pivotal discussion 
platform. During the event, there was

INTRODUCTION 

“All Takeda employees 
across the world share this 
philosophy and give life to it 
through day-to-day actions. 
As a result, we continue to 
produce tangible results 
that are powering our core 
business in a sustainable way.” 
increasing acknowledgment of the 
health-related obstacles the world 
faces and a growing understanding 
of the urgent need to implement 
a tangible response that sparks 
substantial and meaningful change. 
Developing and securing a sustainable 
supply of treatments, especially 
those directly connected to the 
environmental challenges we are 
experiencing, is one such tangible 
way we are working to drive such 
change. Takeda’s QDENGA® (Dengue 
tetravalent vaccine [live, attenuated]) 
vaccine for dengue fever is a case 
in point. Dengue is the world’s most 
prevalent mosquito-borne viral 
disease,4 and cases are rising as a 
direct result of climate change. It is 
imperative that we are investing and 
working with local partners to ensure 
that the vaccine reaches vulnerable 
communities as quickly and reliably 
as possible. 
To ensure we are delivering on 
our commitment to patients, we 
must continue exploring innovative 
processes that guarantee quality, 
safety and a stable supply of our 
products. I was impressed to witness 
teams at sites such as Vienna, Austria, 
and Neuchatel, Switzerland — where 
our employees are actively engaged 
in continuous improvement efforts in 
automation and robotics — dedicated 
to this task. 
As highlighted above, shared actions 
to advance sustainability are simply 
not possible without committed 
employees who are the driving force 
behind our core business. Therefore, 
innovation and improve outcomes 
for patients, people and society. 
As we look to the future, our 
recently launched MIRAI5 Creator 
initiative in Japan represents a 
powerful embodiment of our 
commitment to long-term value 
creation. Enthusiastic employees 
across Takeda Japan’s value chain 
have voluntarily stepped forward to 
champion sustainability, showcasing 
their passion and leadership and 
collaborating to help change internal 
processes and mindsets to develop 
value for patients and create a 
better working environment for all. 
Takeda’s sustainability journey is 
an evolution of who we are, and 
my visit to Takeda China in Beijing 
in early 2023 reinforced this point. 
After discussing sustainability at 
Takeda, a representative from a 
patient advocacy group shared with 
me how understanding Takeda’s 
approach helped her connect the 
dots regarding Takeda’s patient-
centric work. Indeed, this work is 
not an “add-on” but rather what 
makes Takeda the company and 
culture we are and have been 
for more than 240 years. 
As we continue to navigate complex 
global challenges, we remain 
committed to ensuring that Takeda 
continues to lead with passion, 
innovation and a profound sense 
of responsibility, delivering on our 
business commitments and making 
a positive impact on the world. 
supporting their diverse needs is 
essential to our progress. During 
visits to our sites in Vienna and Los 
Angeles, the teams shared with me 
how they are accelerating diversity, 
equity and inclusion (DE&I) through 
local employee resource groups 
that support gender parity, LGBTQ+ 
allyship and inclusion for people 
living with disabilities. At Takeda, we 
are a strong advocate for programs 
such as these because they help 
us create the exceptional people 
experience necessary to attract and 
retain diverse talent. We also believe 
that diverse pools of talent fuel

Our foundation for 
delivering long-term value 
A philosophy passed down 
through generations 
Our history began in 1781 with 
the sale of traditional Japanese 
and Chinese medicines in Japan, 
guided by the principle of SANPO-
YOSHI. A principle first practiced 
by a prominent group of Japanese 
merchants, it means good for the 
seller, good for the buyer and good 
for society. Our successive CEOs have 
remained true to SANPO-YOSHI in 
both word and action for more than 
240 years while articulating their own 
way to bring it to life. 
Patient, People and Planet: 
Imperatives to bring our 
corporate philosophy to life 
Today, Takeda’s corporate philosophy 
articulates why we exist (our 
purpose), where we are going (our 
vision) and how we deliver on our 
vision (our values). Our corporate 
philosophy imperatives — Patient, 
People and Planet — identify where 
Takeda must invest to deliver on our 
purpose. They reflect input from an 
Environment, Social and Governance 
(ESG) materiality assessment of 
strategically important nonfinancial 
issues to our company and 
stakeholders. 
In fiscal year 2022, we evolved these 
imperatives to create a simplified 
sustainability framework and 
sustainability focus areas. We aim 
to create long-term value over time 
by aligning our actions with these 
imperatives and sustainability focus 
areas. We measure our progress 
through our corporate philosophy 
metrics, disclosing results annually. 
Learn more about our corporate 
philosophy metrics on page 11. 
Living our values every day 
We are guided by our values of 
Takeda-ism, which incorporate 
Integrity, Fairness, Honesty and 
Perseverance, with Integrity at the 
core. They are brought to life through 
actions based on Patient-Trust-
Reputation-Business, in that order. 
Every employee, wherever they are in 
the organization, has a responsibility 
to meet the highest standards of 
ethical behavior at all times because 
everything we do impacts the most 
vital aspect of people’s lives — 
their health. Read more about our

RESPECTING HUMAN RIGHTS 
Our commitment to respecting internationally recognized 
human rights is an important part of our corporate 
philosophy and we do so within every aspect of our 
business, across our supply chains and the communities 
where we operate. Through a comprehensive human 
rights impact assessment, we identified our 11 most salient 
human rights impacts. For more information on our Human 
Rights program including our most salient impacts, please 
visit our website. 
Values-based governance 
Our corporate governance approach 
creates the foundation for values-
based decision-making at every level, 
in every country in which we operate. 
It starts with our leadership — our 
Board of Directors (Board) and the 
Takeda Executive Team (TET). See 
our Corporate Governance Structure. 
As of June 2024, Takeda has 14 
directors overseeing the company’s 
management on a global scale. To 
ensure independence and objectivity, 
11 of our directors are independent 
external directors, including the 
chair of the Board meeting. The 
Nomination and Compensation 
committees, which Takeda 
established voluntarily to achieve its 
governance goals, consist entirely of 
independent external directors. 
In nominating candidates for director 
roles, the Board considers diverse 
criteria, including gender, age, work 
experience, race, ethnicity and 
cultural background. As of June 
2024, women represent more than 
20 percent of Board members. In 
addition, current directors represent 
a broad array of skills in areas such as 
global business and strategy; science 
and medicine; legal, regulation and 
public policy; corporate governance 
and sustainability; finance and 
accounting; health care; data and 
digital; and management, leadership 
and human capital. See our Board 
skills matrix. 
The TET includes 17 members 
diverse in nationality (nine 
countries), age (40s–60s) and 
gender (nine women and eight 
men). Women make up 53% of 
the TET.

We put patients at the center of everything we do. Our long-term 
success is based on discovering, developing and delivering life-

enhance the well-being of patients, communities and countries. 
We create a competitive advantage with our ability to bring 
innovative products to market in a timely fashion. Building and 
maintaining the trust of stakeholders — including health care 
professionals, customers, regulators and patients — is also crucial 
for our sustainable business. To achieve this, we prioritize making 
our products affordable and accessible through reimbursement 
and patient assistance programs (PAPs). Additionally, ensuring 
transparency through disclosures of clinical trial results and quality

PARTNERSHIP 
As a signatory to the Global 
Health Equity Network Zero 
Health Gaps Pledge, we have 
agreed to take 10 actions to 
further embed health equity into 
our business strategy, operations 
and investments. Our multi-year 
partnership with global publisher 
Springer Nature is one example 
of how we are advancing this 
pledge. In 2023, we collaborated 
with Springer Nature on the 
inaugural Nature Inclusive Health

Paulo, Brazil. Award submissions 
included research conducted 
in more than 110 countries and 
highlighted the progress being

As a values-based global 
company that has been putting 
patients first for more than 240 years, 
Takeda aims to accelerate equitable 
access to our treatments and 
vaccines. This begins with helping 
create equitable health care for all. 
We believe that efforts to improve 
health equity and broaden access 
must be based on an understanding 
of the different situations that those 
in need and health care professionals 
face in each community. The reasons 
for lack of access to health care 
and health inequities are many and 
varied, stemming from personal 
circumstances, health infrastructure, 
cultural factors and economic 
conditions within communities. This 
makes efforts to improve access 
worldwide a complex, long-term 
challenge. For this reason, we take 
thoughtful, integrated and diversified 
approaches to address these gaps, 
as the examples on the following 
pages illustrate.

What is required to address health 
inequity? 
We believe addressing health 
equity is both a moral imperative 
and a critical business strategy. 
We embed a health equity mindset 
into our business — from R&D 
and manufacturing to access and 
corporate social responsibility 
programs, as well as partnerships. Of 
course, the causes of health inequities 
differ country to country. That’s why, 
at Takeda, we take the approach of 
working directly with communities. 
What is the role of community 
partners? 
Many people are surprised when 
they learn that 80% of what impacts 
our health happens outside of the 
doctor’s office — from education 
and employment opportunities to 
access to housing, transportation 
and nutritious food. These social 
Like in other countries, the U.S. health 
care landscape is complex, and people

challenges that can impede both access 
to care and quality health outcomes.

Unit and U.S. country head, discusses 
how Takeda is moving from commitment 
to action to achieve equitable health 
outcomes in our largest market.

lived experiences and identify their 
needs. Then, we work together with a 
diverse network of community-based 
public and private partners — 
nonprofits, academic organizations, 
industry, local governments and 
professional associations — to help 
build sustainable solutions that can 
be implemented locally. 
For example, as of 2023, we have 
worked with Remote Area Medical®, 
as part of our ongoing collaboration, 
to support over 39,000 people in 
under-resourced communities in the 
United States with access to free 
quality medical, dental and vision 
care through 200 of its pop-up 
clinics. Another is in Massachusetts 
where we joined the Health Equity 
Compact (HEC), a coalition of health 
care leaders of color. HEC addresses 
barriers to equitable health outcomes 
faced by communities of color 
and immigrant populations across 
the states. 
A key aspect of our health equity 
strategy is supporting the training 
and deployment of community health 
workers (CHWs). CHWs are trusted 
members of the community who can 
help facilitate access to health care 
and services and improve the quality 
and cultural competence of service 
delivery in underserved communities.

CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY

 
Through our support of the National 
Urban League and National Minority 
Quality Forum, historic civil rights 
and advocacy organizations, we 
are helping to deploy a community-
based health workforce across the 
United States to help historically 
underserved communities access the 
care they need. 
How do you connect Takeda’s efforts 
to create a more inclusive workplace 
with your efforts to advance health 
equity within communities? 
Equity starts with our ability to 
create a workforce of employees 
with different lived experiences from 
different cultures and backgrounds 
and bring them together in a 
workplace where they can feel a sense 
of belonging. Having a wider variety of 
perspectives helps us think differently, 
better understand the patients we 
serve and, ultimately, create solutions 
that can meet patient needs. 
One example is our DE&I Clinical 
Trial Advisory Board. It includes 100 
employees from different countries, 
backgrounds and functions. They 
review and provide feedback on 
community education and patient 
recruitment and retention materials 
for clinical trials to help ensure the 
materials are culturally appropriate. 
While this board does not replace 
traditional patient engagement 
activities, it helps us learn more 
about the communities we serve from 
employees who are also part of those 
communities. (Hear from some of our 
Advisory Board members.) 
What role can other organizations play 
in advancing health equity? 
Working to advance health equity is not 
a solo venture — no single organization 
can do this work alone. We must all 
work together and bring the right 
voices to the table. Whether you are a 
convenor, a subject matter expert or a 
community advocate who understands 
the challenges faced in your community, 
everyone has a role to play. 
One example is our longstanding 
collaboration with Partners In Health 
(PIH),1 a Boston-based international 
nonprofit. We have helped support 
a global network of 25 laboratories 
that provide screening and diagnostic 
services to over 8 million people in 
community settings. In 2023, we 
expanded our partnership to include 
work with PIH-US supporting the 
implementation of health equity 
communities of practice and building 
the capacity of community health 
workers to address social determinants 
of health and access to care in 
underserved communities across 
Massachusetts. 
What does success look like? 
Our vision is a world where everyone 
can attain their full potential for health 
and well-being. Achieving this will take 
time, resources and collaboration. We’re 
in this for the long run. I am proud of 
where Takeda is on this journey, and 
excited about the impact we will have.

communities in the United States here. 
“In Japan’s health  
care landscape, we  
are working to  
overcome barriers  
to equity to accelerate 
the path to universal 
wellness. The barriers, 
though formidable,  
serve as catalysts for 
transformative change, 
ensuring every  
individual has access  
to wellness with  
dignity and equality.”

SUPPORTING ACCESS TO CARE IN REMOTE AREAS IN JAPAN 
One in 10 people in Japan are aged 
80 or older and nearly 30% are aged 
65 or older. For elderly residents 
living outside cities, access to health 
care — particularly to specialists — can 
be difficult. To address the challenge, 
public and private sector organizations 
are coming together. 
In Hokkaido, the country’s 
northernmost prefecture, the local 
government is working to introduce 
a telemedicine system to connect 
medical specialists in cities with 
doctors in remote areas. This includes 
doctors from Sapporo Medical 
University who specialize in the 
treatment of IBD. Takeda is supporting 
the initiative by informing doctors 
in rural areas of Hokkaido about the 
program and connecting them with the 
local government to learn more.

BUILDING NEW SKILLS 
THROUGH EXPERIENCE 
One of the ways we help 
employees learn is through 
real-life experience. 
Since 2021, more than 50 of our 
R&D Pharmaceutical Sciences 
employees have participated in 
an on-the-job training program. 
For six to 12 months, participants 
contribute to projects led by 
senior members across the 
department, gaining additional 
skills in the process — from 
scientific training on gene 
therapies to critical project 
management expertise. 
“The program creates a space 
to work outside of your comfort 
zone, which is a great way to learn 
from others and grow your own 
skills and understanding,” said 
Anastasia Kharlamova, associate 
director, Analytical Development. 
We strive to create an exceptional 
people experience through our culture 
that fosters well-being, an inclusive 
workplace and lifelong learning. 
Inspiring lifelong learning 
We realize that every employee’s 
learning journey is unique. Through 
tools, resources and support, we help 
employees develop customized ways 
of learning what they need and want 
to learn, when and how they want to 
learn it. This includes learning through 
education, mentorships and on-the-job 
development opportunities. 
Supporting leadership development 
We invest in our senior leaders and 
people to help them build the inclusive 
skills, capabilities and experiences 
they need to grow and thrive. In 
2023, we designed a senior leader 
development portfolio for our top 
approximately 200 leaders and their 
successors including solutions for 
assessment, selection, onboarding and 
development. For successors, we have 
designed the Takeda Aspire Program, 
a 16-month cohort-based development 
journey for employees who we believe 
have the potential and who aspire to 
be senior leaders.

Dedicated to well-being 
Well-being remains a critical focus 
area, and we recognize that well-
being is different for each employee. 
Global Well-Being@Takeda is focused 
on providing offerings across four 
key dimensions — emotional, physical, 
financial and social. In support of 
these dimensions and inspired by 
employees’ feedback, we have set 
two long-term global well-being 
strategic imperatives: empowering 
life-work alignment and enabling 
expanded access to global core 
offerings. We were also one of 50 
companies globally to be honored by 
the Business Group on Health with its 
2023 Best Employers Excellence in 
Health and Well-Being Award. 
TOP EMPLOYER 
RECOGNITION 
FOR SEVENTH 
CONSECUTIVE YEAR 
In January 2024, the Top 
Employers Institute recognized 
Takeda for the seventh year in a 
row as a global Top Employer. We 
were one of only 17 companies to 
achieve this global certification 
in 2024. In addition, each of the 
24 Takeda countries/regions that 
participated in the survey were 
named a Top Employer. For a 
complete list, visit our website. 
Using the power of 
technology to enable career 
growth 
We empower our employees to 
define and own their career with 
the support of their people leader, 
peers and mentors along the way. In 
January 2024, we launched Career 
Navigator, a platform enabled by 
artificial intelligence (AI), to allow all 
employees to explore development 
opportunities and grow their careers 
within Takeda.1 
Based on employee input about 
their career goals and interests, the 
tool provides recommendations for 
internal job opportunities within 
Takeda; helps identify learning 
opportunities to address any skill 
gaps; and connects employees to 
mentors to facilitate growth. The 
more the employee uses the platform, 
the more the platform learns 
about them and the more tailored 
recommendations it provides. 
Owning their growth: employees 
share the joy of learning 
Our Japan commercial organization 
Human Resources (HR) team had 
a challenge. They were looking for 
creative ways to drive Takeda’s 
culture of lifelong learning and 
career ownership in the Japan 
Pharma Business Unit (JPBU). 
During a brainstorming session they 
got the idea to approach the issue 
from the perspective of employees, 
by creating a cadre of learning 
ambassadors to raise awareness of 
self-directed learning. 
Soon, there were 12 ambassadors 
providing employees with useful 
learning-related content. This 
included more than nine articles 
driving employees to the Bloom 
Learning Experience Platform (LXP). 
Their results were exponential; within 
six months, the number of employees 
from JPBU using the Bloom LXP 
increased 300%. 
“I believe that fostering a culture that 
finds meaning in learning starts at 
the level of the individual,” said one 
of the learning ambassadors. “If each 
employee continues to learn and 
brings value to their department, it 
will ultimately lead to patients getting 
the medicines they need — which in 
turn will benefit the broader society.”

CHAMPIONING A TRUE SENSE OF 
BELONGING 
Jessica Souza Silva is a member of Takeda’s 
Supply Chain team in Brazil. In 2023, she 
won the Early Career award as part of the 
company’s annual global DE&I awards for an 
innovation that helps her fellow colleagues 
bring their true selves to work. Here is 
her story. 
“During a Takeda Resource Group (TRG) 
meeting, a Black woman who works in 
production shared that the regular hair net 
she needs to wear is too small for her hair. 
For many years and in multiple industries, 
Black and mixed-race people have been 
subjected to discrimination that prevent 
them from wearing their hair in its natural 
state. In Takeda’s case, it wasn’t a policy that 
was a barrier, it was the availability of hair 
nets that accommodate natural hairstyles 
and meet our exacting standards. 
“I knew of a Brazilian company that makes a 
special hair net for Afro hair and I contacted 
them. After several tests of different options 
with the production line and our teams, we 
found a hair net that met our standards that 
our people with natural hairstyles can wear 
comfortably. 
“Empowering Black and mixed-race 
people to wear their hair in a natural style 
is significant because it allows them to 
embrace their cultural identity and challenge 
traditional beauty standards. I affectionately 
call this hair net the ‘royal cap’ because I 
believe hair is like a crown, especially when 
it comes to valuing Afro hair. With this new 
hair net, people feel more comfortable and 
have a sense of belonging.”

Our net-zero¹ ambition 
We are working to achieve net-zero 
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 
our operations by 2035 and across 
our value chain by 2040. In fiscal 
year 2023, we continued to evolve 
our climate strategy to align with 
current scientific consensus and 
better position Takeda to achieve 
our ambitious net-zero targets. We 
have transitioned away from carbon 
neutrality as a climate goal to focus 
our resources on decarbonizing 
our operations and are reinvesting 
and reallocating resources toward 
initiatives that advance our net-zero 
roadmap. This includes reducing our 
energy use, switching to renewable 
sources, whenever possible, and 
focusing on collaborations to tackle 
hard-to-abate value chain emissions, 
including single-use plastics and 
disposal of regulated medical waste. 
In line with Science Based Targets

Embedding environmental 
sustainability into product 
design 
Through our Sustainability by 
Design (SbD) program, we are 
transforming how we develop and 
deliver medicine, from the earliest 
phases of R&D to the patient 
experience and product disposal. In 
SbD, we use life-cycle assessments 
to inform our decisions during 
product development to help 
minimize environmental impacts. 
This includes opportunities to 
reduce GHG emissions, energy and 
materials, avoid hazardous materials, 
generate less waste and improve 
sustainability potential. 
We also have developed 
environmental sustainability 
improvement plans for several 
commercial products. For example, 
Takeda is moving from special colors 
(Pantone) to CMYK (cyan, magenta, 
yellow and black) in its printing 
for secondary packaging starting 
with CUVITRU® Immune Globulin 
Subcutaneous (Human) in Japan. We 
plan to switch to CMYK ink for all 
products. 
This change is expected to reduce 
ink waste and the chemicals used to 
clean the printing machine between 
printing jobs, as well as the amount 
of waste generated during the 
changeover of different packaging. 
INNOVATION LEADS THE WAY TO 
WATER SAVINGS 
At our manufacturing site in Osaka, Japan, we 
use significant amounts of distilled water as 
part of our production and cleaning processes. 
By using data and digital technologies, 
the local team reduced the site’s water 
consumption by more than 450,000 liters per 
year. Here’s what they did: 
1
Created a dashboard using data from 
an online system to determine exactly 
how much distilled water each facility 
and piece of equipment was using. 
2
Installed sensors in the pipes supplying 
distilled water to measure how much 
distilled water operators used to 
manually clean equipment. 
3
Analyzed combined data to discover 
that there were facilities and equipment 
that were set to use nearly 1.5 times the 
required amount of distilled water. In 
addition, the team found variation in the 
amount of distilled water operators used 
to clean equipment. 
4
Standardized processes helped to 
reduce distilled water consumption by 
more than 450,000 liters per year — 
more than 2 million liters of fresh water 
withdrawal and more than 7,900 cubic 
meters (m3) of natural gas. 
Not only did this project conserve a significant 
amount of water, but we also avoided the risk 
of interrupted product supply and additional 
investment in facility updates.

globally. We also created a new digital 
hub, “Takeda.AI,” for colleagues to 
access general information, training, 
strategy, standards and guidelines. 
Making our workforce  
future-ready 
To leverage the rapid technological 
advancements shaping our sector 
today and be ready for the future of 
health care, we are investing in the 
digital skills of our employees. Our 
goal is for every Takeda colleague to 
be a digital innovator supporting the 
discovery, development and delivery 
of life-transformative treatments. And 
we are making strong progress. 
From Japan and Scandinavia to 
the U.S. and Mexico, our employees 
are creating digital solutions that 
address the needs of patients, health 
care providers and caregivers — as 
well as one another. In addition to 
digital skills, our employees possess 
exceptional knowledge about our 
stakeholders, which allows them 
to develop solutions that meet 
their needs. 
Developing and retaining critical 
digital knowledge and skills within 
Takeda supports our ability to 
be competitive and agile in the 
face of changing business needs. 
Additionally, it offers our employees 
opportunities for career development 
by expanding their capabilities, 
introducing new skills for future roles, 
and re-skilling to prepare for the 
sunset of outdated roles. 
More than 24,000 employees1 
are actively engaged in digital 
learning. This includes 4,000 
who have completed training 
in robotic process automation, 
which allows us to streamline 
our operations and improve 
efficiencies. 
1 This is the cumulative number of employees who have taken at 
least one data, digital and technology training course since the 
first quarter of fiscal year 2020.

PROVIDING SEAMLESS PATIENT 
SUPPORT 
Managing a chronic condition can be complex 
for both patients and caregivers. Daily tasks 
can include scheduling medical appointments, 
remembering to take medications, finding 
answers to questions and seeking support 
from others. 
In Japan, we have introduced TOMO, a patient 
support program that provides a centralized 
place for patients on Takeda therapy and 
their caregivers to better manage their health 
treatment journey. Through TOMO, dedicated 
case managers (qualified nurses) provide 
personalized support to patients and their 
families by phone and web-based counseling 
tools. Services include emotional well-being 
support, adherence monitoring, disease 
education and home delivery of ancillary items 
to support appropriate treatment.1 
We have introduced similar digital tools in 
Scandinavia. Through our partnership with 
the Colitis Crohn Foreningen, a patient 
organization in Denmark, we have developed a 
digital resource that helps patients find nearby 
toilets for urgent situations. A separate remote 
monitoring solution offers a self-screening 
tool that patients can use to share information 
about their inflammation activity with their 
health care provider. This helps providers 
prioritize patients who need to be examined 
immediately. Studies have shown that this has 
helped increase adherence to treatment and 
reduce time to remission significantly, from 
77 days to 17 days.2 
Harnessing our digital talent 
Our new Innovation Capability 
Centers (ICCs) are helping us build 
our own tech muscle with our 
internal talent. Our digital capabilities 
and workforce are growing at a 
rapid pace and they play a vital 
role in insourcing data and digital 
capabilities. Currently, we have ICCs 
in Slovakia, Mexico and India, and 
we will further expand the network 
in other geographies to support 
specific business needs. Teams 
at the centers are creating and 
managing digital solutions across 
the business, enabling less reliance 
on external partners, as well as 
enhancing our engagement with 
health care providers and patients 
and allowing them to access our 
products and services more easily. 
They are also improving ways of 
working by deploying innovative 
applications that make everyday 
tasks more efficient. 
As part of our diverse talent pool, 
women within Data, Digital and 
Technology play a key role in driving 
innovation to tackle the most 
pressing health care challenges 
of today and tomorrow. We are 
intentionally diversifying our talent, 
particularly women, and making more 
investments to close the gender gap 
in this field.

Creating sustainable value 
in our plasma-derived 
therapies business 
Plasma-Derived Therapies (PDTs) 
are a key example of how Takeda 
is building long-term value. PDTs 
are essential treatments made from 
blood plasma that can replace 
missing or deficient proteins 
that cause rare and complex 
chronic diseases. Patients often 
depend on PDTs for life and have 
either no or very few alternative 
treatment options. In fiscal year 
2023, we achieved several positive 
milestones that are expanding 
treatment options for patients. 
Here, PDT Business Unit President 
Giles Platford and Chief Financial 
Officer Milano Furuta discuss 
the role of the PDT Business Unit 
as part of Takeda’s sustainable 
business strategy. 
How is Takeda addressing unmet 
needs through its PDT business? 
GILES: We have seen significant 
opportunity to make our broad and 
differentiated portfolio available to 
more patients around the world by 
pursuing new indications in areas 
of high unmet need and through 
geographic expansion. A great 
example has been our work in 
chronic inflammatory demyelinating 
polyneuropathy (CIPD), a disease 
affecting the peripheral nervous 
system that causes debilitating 
symptoms such as loss of feeling 
in the arms and legs and difficulty 
walking. In January 2024, we 
received regulatory approvals in 
both the United States and the 
European Union (EU) for HYQVIA 
as a maintenance therapy for the 
disease. As the only facilitated 
subcutaneous immunoglobulin 
(fSCIG), HYQVIA enables up to once-
monthly administration at home or 
in the clinic, offering the potential 
for reduced treatment burden. We 
expect IG therapies to continue to 
be the standard of care for CIDP 
and remain committed to investing 
across the continuum of care — 
from integrated technologies to 
significantly reducing the volume of 
IG needed for treatment. 
MILANO: Our values and decision-
making framework, which considers 
Patient-Trust-Reputation-Business, in 
that order, are absolutely ingrained 
in our approach, driving our actions 
to sustainably address unmet needs.

and developing innovative solutions 
across our operations, from donor 
to patient, vein to vein. Through 
a combination of expansion, 
transformation and optimization, we 
are sourcing more plasma than ever 
before. For example, while we have 
grown our BioLife plasma donation 
network by 110% since 2018, we have 
also improved donor experience. 
We’re also continuing to make 
significant capital investments while 
using data, digital and technology 
to drive efficiencies to meet our new 
goal of increasing manufacturing 
capacity by over 50% by the end of 
fiscal year 2028.1 
that requires careful collection, 
processing and distribution. Thus, 
trust and reputation are vital and 
underpin continuity of care for 
patients worldwide. The PDT business 
by its nature requires significant 
capital investment with a long-term 
horizon, which must be sustainable 
for patients and society. 
What needs to happen to ensure 
the industry can meet increasing 
demand for PDTs? 
GILES: It’s important that industry 
efforts to address plasma supply 
are supported and bolstered. 
Currently just six countries supply 
nearly 90% of the plasma needed 
around the world. This dynamic is 
not sustainable. There is an urgent 
need to update regulations that 
govern the collection of human 
plasma for essential medicines. 
Public-private partnerships can also 
play a vital role in tackling health 
inequity and moving toward a more 
sustainable global plasma ecosystem. 
A great example is Takeda joining 
an initiative led by the United 
Nations Institute for Training and 
Research that is supporting countries 
develop tailored local solutions to 
meet patient need for plasma and 
PDTs powered by resources and 
training. (For more information, visit 
Plasma4Life, a UN-based platform 
to support countries in finding their 
own tailored solutions.)Takeda is 
working to ensure a sustainable 
plasma ecosystem by redefining 
the entire end-to-end value chain  
How does the PDT business support 
Takeda’s overall long-term growth? 
MILANO: Our PDT business is a key 
driver of Takeda’s topline performance. 
Sales from PDTs contributed 21% of 
total company revenue in fiscal year 
2023, growing 12.3% at Constant 
Exchange Rate (CER). In addition, 
unlike our biopharma portfolio, PDTs 
do not face loss of exclusivity, leaving 
a long runway for continued growth. 
The PDT business’ commitment to 
sustainable growth and continuous 
margin improvement position 
it as a significant contributor to 
the company’s overall long-term 
performance and strategy.

Promoting environmental 
initiatives 
Scaling our PDT business to meet 
growing global demand and reducing 
our environmental footprint are 
not mutually exclusive — in fact, we 
believe we must do both. In fiscal 
year 2023, we opened our first 
BioLife donation center in Linz, 
Austria, designed to operate as a 
zero-GHG emissions facility. 
Within our BioLife centers, we 
have embarked on a number 
of environmental sustainability 
programs. 
BRINGING BETTER HEALTH 
AND INVESTMENT TO JAPAN 
Our PDT business is deepening 
its commitment to Takeda’s home 
country of Japan by bringing 
the benefits of its broad and 
differentiated portfolio to more 
patients in this market. In fact, over 
the next five years, we plan to have up 
to five submissions for new products 
and indications. 
In fiscal year 2023, we received 
two important approvals for PDTs 
in Japan. CUVITRU became our 
first subcutaneous immunoglobulin 
(SCIG) approved in Japan to treat 
patients with primary and secondary 
immunodeficiency. We launched 
the IgSensei “Teacher” companion 
app with CUVITRU, developed 
with direct insight from patients. 
The app is designed to increase 
patient confidence in treatment 
administration and improve the 
patient experience. In March 2024, 
we received approval for CEPROTIN® 
for intravenous injection 1000 
units (Dry Concentrate Human 
Protein C) in Japan. It is used for 
the treatment of the ultra-rare 
disorder involving severe congenital 
protein C deficiency. 
To support our efforts, in March 
2023, we announced a ¥100 billion 
investment in a new PDT facility in 
Osaka that will serve not only patients 
in Japan, but around the world. 
KEY RESULTS INCLUDE: 
60% 
average reduction in emissions per U.S. BioLife 
center from fiscal year 2016 through fiscal 
year 2023 
35% 
reduction in water consumption per U.S. 
BioLife center from calendar year 2019 through 
calendar year 2023 
87%

A patient-centric approach 
to drug development 
Fueled by our inherent curiosity 
and motivated by unmet patient 
needs, we translate science into 
potentially life-transforming 
medicines. To ensure no one is left 
behind, we strive to address health 
disparities by embedding DE&I 
principles in our approach. 
Perseverance delivers results 
For Jennifer Elliott, head of Solid 
Tumors, Global Medical Affairs 
Oncology, success is when a patient 
has hope they didn’t have before. 
Jennifer and her team spent the 
majority of fiscal year 2023 sprinting 
to prepare for the submission of the 
regulatory dossier for FRUZAQLA® 
(fruquintinib). In November 2023, 
their hard work paid off when the U.S. 
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 
approved the oral medicine for adults 
with metastatic colorectal cancer. 
It is the first novel chemotherapy-
free treatment option regardless of 
biomarker status approved in the 
United States in more than a decade. 
Asked how the moment felt, she 
explained, “It was really a sense of 
pride — but also relief that now, finally, 
there was another option for patients. 
All those months, we just kept at it 
because we knew how much they 
needed this medicine.” 
The approval of EOHILIA® 
(budesonide oral suspension) by 
the U.S. FDA in February 2024 also 
highlights the perseverance of our 
clinical development team. They 
never stopped believing in the 
hope this treatment could bring 
to patients. Following a Complete 
Response Letter, Takeda continued 
to be inspired by the encouragement 
and support of patients, advocacy 
groups and health care providers, 
while finding a new — and 
ultimately successful — regulatory 
pathway forward. 
For people living with eosinophilic 
esophagitis (EoE), sitting down 
for a meal can involve difficult 
swallowing (dysphagia). EOHILIA is 
the first and only oral treatment in 
the United States for EoE, providing 
patients 11 years and older and their 
health care professionals with a 
12-week medicine that was shown 
in two 12-week clinical studies to 
help reduce eosinophil counts 
and improve patients’ dysphagia 
symptoms compared to placebo. It 
has not been shown to be safe and 
effective for longer than 12 weeks. 
Patients were also at the forefront 
of our efforts to develop ADZYNMA® 
(ADAMTS13, recombinant-krhn), 
which addresses an unmet medical 
need in people with congenital 
thrombotic thrombocytopenic 
purpura. After more than 20 years of 
research on ADAMTS13, the U.S. FDA 
approved its use in November 2023. 
ADZYNMA also reflects our efforts to 
embed environmental sustainability 
into our product development 
by applying the SbD framework 
(See page 22). Our product’s 
secondary packaging is designed 
with environmental considerations 
in mind. We have successfully 
reduced the amount of material used 
and the weight of material for our 
packaging, contributing to lower 
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 
during distribution. Since 2023, we 
are applying our SbD framework to 
all new pipeline products.

Commitment to DE&I  
in clinical research 
People from minority groups have 
historically been under-represented 
in clinical trials. Takeda is trying to 
change this. 
“If we can ensure clinical trial participant 
populations are reflective of the patients 
who are likely to use the treatment, then 
we have stronger confidence that our 
treatments can work for many types of 
patients,” said LaShell Robinson, senior 
director, DE&I in Clinical Research. 
To increase the diversity of patients 
participating in U.S. clinical trials, we are 
fostering community partnerships and 
implementing strategies anchored in 
education, access and awareness. As part 
of our strategy, we are looking to expand 
our clinical research footprint into more 
geographies in the U.S., specifically in 
under-represented areas. 
See page 13 for more information on how 
we are working with community groups 
to build trust and lasting relationships to 
accelerate health equity. 
In the U.S., we ask clinical trial sites to 
report patient population demographics. 
When a community surrounding a site 
is racially and ethnically diverse, but 
that diversity is not reflected in the 
patient enrollment of the trials, we work 
to understand the underlying reason. 
This allows us to develop customized 
support — such as offering cultural 
competency training, hosting community 
outreach activities or providing materials 
to support discussions with diverse trial 
participants. 
REFLECTING DIVERSITY IN PSORIASIS 
STUDIES 
Much of what is known about psoriasis, a 
chronic skin disease, often does not reflect all 
skin tones. Such gaps can delay diagnosis and 
lead to inadequate care for people of color with 
the condition. 
One reason is that individuals with skin of color 
are historically under-represented in dermatologic 
education and research. A systematic review of 
randomized controlled dermatology trials found 
that psoriasis studies in the United States were the 
least diverse, with 84% of total study participants 
recorded as white. 
We are embedding DE&I in the development 
program for TAK-2792 from the start, with an 
ambition to have unprecedented patient diversity in 
our Phase 3 trials in psoriasis. 
To reach this goal, we provide educational materials 
to medical professionals on accurately diagnosing 
psoriasis in people with skin of color and offer 
resources to study sites on fostering patient 
inclusivity within trials. We are also developing 
culturally relatable patient materials, including 
imagery of psoriasis that reflects diversity of skin 
types within the patient population. 
“Clinical trials can lead to peer-reviewed scientific 
publications,” said Chesahna Kindred, M.D., M.BA., 
F.A.A.D., a dermatologist and clinical trial site 
investigator for TAK-279. “Once validated, those 
publications can form the basis of textbooks. 
Those textbooks and publications become 
important resources for both new and practicing 
health care providers. And new evidence and new 
understanding can lead to new clinical care and 
treatment approaches for patients.” 
1 As of June 2023, all our new U.S. clinical trials require a Diversity Action Plan in line with the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America’s clinical trial diversity principles and the FDA’s industry guidance on enhancing clinical trial diversity. 
2 We are conducting clinical trials of TAK-279 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. It has not been approved for this use or indication under investigation and there is no guarantee it will be approved for such use or indication.

Leveraging real-world 
evidence to inform and 
accelerate clinical trial design 
Across Takeda, we are using data, 
digital and technology solutions to 
improve speed and quality while 
reducing costs over time. These 
solutions are accelerating the delivery 
of our pipeline while encouraging 
experimentation that leads to critical 
innovation in our work. 
PROTECTING INNOVATION 
Due to the lengthy development 
periods for new drugs, the high costs 
of R&D and the small percentage of 
researched therapeutic candidates 
that reach the market, the protection 
of intellectual property plays an 
important role in the return on 
investments of a new drug. 
We seek patent protection for 
proprietary technology whenever 
possible in the United States, Japan 
and major European countries. For 
details on our outstanding substance 
patents in these markets and expiry 
dates, see our Form 20-F fiscal year 
2023. Learn more in our Position 
on Intellectual Property for Access 
to Medicines. 
For example, real-world evidence 
(RWE) played a crucial role in 
informing the Phase 3 trial design 
for fazirsiran, our investigational 
medicine for the treatment of 
antitrypsin deficiency associated 
liver disease (AATD-LD). This chronic 
genetic disease can eventually lead to 
liver failure. Currently, liver transplant 
is the only available cure for this 
rare condition.1 
When we began to design and 
initiate the Phase 3 trial under an 
accelerated timeline, we could not 
identify a robust data source that 
captured genotype and longitudinal 
data to assess the natural history of 
AATD-LD. However, a comprehensive 
data strategy helped us identify 
a robust data source from a large 
academic medical center. This not 
only provided us with evidence on 
disease progression and related 
clinical events to inform our trial 
strategy but also allowed us to 
significantly shorten the time 
to insights. 
These data became one of the most 
comprehensive sources of RWE 
for this patient population, helping 
us gain a greater understanding of 
disease progression in AATD-LD and 
supporting a robust Phase 3 trial.

Working with employees to 
create the laboratory of the 
future 
In September 2023, we broke 
ground on a new state-of-the-art 
28,000-square-meter R&D center in 
Vienna, Austria. When operational 
in 2026, it will welcome 250 R&D 
colleagues — currently spread across 
five sites. 
The facility will be shaped by input 
from the people who will work in it, 
alongside Takeda leaders in Vienna 
and project architects. 
“By bringing colleagues together in 
the planning stage of this project, we 
not only gain a sense of ownership 
of this space but are reinforcing 
a mindset of collaboration and 
collective innovation,” said Manfred 
Rieger, R&D Austria site head. 
Based on their input, the site will 
include a “ballroom” concept, where 
bioprocess equipment is mobile 
rather than in fixed positions to allow 
teams to quickly adjust processes, 
and where walls can be moved to 
create bigger or smaller rooms as 
needed. Robotics, augmented reality, 
AI and digital twins are just some of 
the advanced technologies that will 
be used at this site. 
Building with the environment  
in mind 
In creating our laboratory of the 
future, we are designing a facility 
that will support our net-zero 
goals as well as helping reduce our 
use of natural resources. A mix of 
photovoltaic panels, waste heat 
recovery and other initiatives will 
meet all electricity and heating 
demands, saving more than 400 tons 
of CO2 each year. Using groundwater 
from discharged rainwater will also 
drastically reduce the amount of 
fresh water required to maintain the 
gardens and plants in and around the 
building. The lab will be located near 
public transportation to encourage 
carbon-friendly commuting.

Our colleagues and their family 
members based in countries 
where QDENGA is available can 
receive the vaccine at no cost 
through the Takeda Dengue 
Employee Vaccination Program as 
part of our benefits program.1 
In August 2023, Takeda Brazil 
launched a vaccination campaign 
for employees and their families. 
Nearly 1,200 adults and children 
received QDENGA at our São 
Paulo office and Jaguariúna plant. 
Vanessa Kolbe, vaccines product 
manager, was one of the many 
employees who participated. “I 
was second in line,” she said. “I 
had been waiting for this moment 
for two and a half years.”

Addressing a growing disease 
The threat of dengue has never been 
greater. Transmitted by mosquitoes, 
dengue infects an estimated 390 
million people worldwide each year,1 
leading to 500,000 hospitalizations. 
There are approximately 20,000 
to 25,000 deaths globally, mainly 
among children, due to the virus.2 
It is endemic in more than 100 
countries, predominantly in low- and 
middle-income countries in Latin 
America and Asia.3 
The impact of climate change — 
including rising water temperatures, 
increased precipitation and 
devastating floods — are increasing 
this threat, creating new environments 
for mosquitoes to thrive in and carry 
the virus even further. In fact, 2023 
witnessed the highest number of 
dengue cases ever recorded, with 
an unexpected spike in dengue 
cases and outbreaks across regions 
previously unaffected by the virus.4 
The approval of the vaccine follows 
several decades of research, 
including by Takeda scientists after 
we acquired the research program 
in 2013 from Inviragen. Before its 
approval, communities mainly relied 
on mosquito-control programs and 
public awareness to reduce the risk 
of infection. While these measures 
are still critical, QDENGA provides a 
powerful new prevention method to 
help protect people against the virus 
regardless of previous exposure and 
without pre-vaccination testing. 
From the earliest days of 
development, we recognized what 
QDENGA would mean to people like 
Francisleine. That’s why we engaged 
with national, regional and local 
public health officials in countries 
where dengue is most prevalent 
as part of the vaccine’s clinical 
development program. This included 
a pivotal Phase 3 trial of more than 
20,000 children and adolescents 
aged four to 16 years living in 
dengue-endemic areas in Asia and 
Latin America. 
In August 2022, QDENGA was first 
approved in Indonesia, followed by 
the European Union in December 
2022. It is now available in more 
than 20 countries primarily in the 
private market, including Indonesia, 
Brazil, Argentina and Thailand — 
countries where dengue is endemic. 
Once approved, we are focused on 
introducing QDENGA in a way that 
is accessible and affordable. This 
includes considering a country’s 
economic stage and health 
system maturity as part of our 
pricing decisions — as we do for all 
Takeda products. 
“Our long-term goal is to make QDENGA broadly available 
through public vaccination programs to help achieve 
population-level protection against dengue. We first launched 
in the private market to support immediate availability of 
our vaccine and are now excited to see the start of a public 
program in Brazil. Given that public health vaccination 
programs often take years to implement, the quick uptake 
in Brazil is a testament to the importance of this vaccine.”

President, Global Vaccine Business Unit 
THE IMPACT OF DENGUE 
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral 
disease that has been a growing 
threat for decades. A high number of 
cases occur in the rainy seasons of 
countries in Asia and Latin America. 
Dengue was one of 10 threats to 
global health identified by the World 
Health Organization (WHO) in 2019.5 
390 million dengue 
virus infections per 
year 
0.5 million 
hospitalizations for 
dengue per year 
20,000 to 25,000 
deaths associated 
with dengue per year

Meeting demand 
Even before we started our Phase 3 
trial for QDENGA in 2016, we began 
investing in manufacturing through 
in-house and external capabilities 
and infrastructure. Partnering with 
our global contract manufacturer, 
IDT Biologika GmbH, we have 
manufactured and distributed 
millions of doses to date. 
“Dengue is a growing threat, and this 
past year has been marked by large 
outbreaks throughout the world,” 
said Derek. “Meeting demand for 
the vaccine and maintaining trust in 
countries where we have launched 
is critical.” 
In February 2024, we announced 
a strategic collaboration with 
Biological E. Limited, a leading 
vaccine manufacturer in India, to 
produce up to 50 million doses 
a year by 2030. We continue to 
explore other partnerships to 
increase QDENGA supply in Asia and 
Latin America. 
Solving a complex  
challenge 
While our dengue vaccine stands 
to make an impact, it is only one 
part of addressing the complexity 
of prevention. Capacity building, 
education and awareness are also 
critical to improving health equity 
and supporting resiliency in health 
systems, especially for vulnerable 
populations in low- and middle-
income countries. See examples on 
following page. 
To help meet the growing 
threat of dengue and 
demand for vaccines, our 
goal is to manufacture 
100 million doses of 
QDENGA a year by the 
end of the decade. 
In January 2024, the first shipments of 
QDENGA arrived in Brazil from Takeda’s 
manufacturing site in Singen, Germany, as 
part of the country’s public vaccination 
program against dengue. 
Global health experts 
recommend QDENGA 
In October 2023, the public health 
community received critical guidance 
from the WHO’s Strategic Advisory 
Group of Experts (SAGE) on 
Immunization, which recommended 
the programmatic use of QDENGA 
in settings with high dengue disease 
burden and high transmission 
intensity in children aged six to 
16 years.1 
This recommendation provides 
guidance to countries on how and 
when to initiate a public vaccination 
program for QDENGA — helping 
individuals like Francisleine in 
countries where there is the greatest 
need for protection. 
Accelerating our public impact 
Our commitment extends beyond 
individual protection as we aim to 
understand and share data about 
the broader public health impact 
of vaccination with QDENGA. Less 
than two months after the SAGE 
recommendation, Brazil announced 
it would integrate QDENGA into 
the country’s national public health 
program — becoming the first 
country to do so. We have also 
initiated a population-based study in 
Brazil (separate from the country’s 
public vaccination program) in 
the municipality of Dourados. We 
expect the study to provide valuable 
real-life data and understanding of 
QDENGA’s potential.

500 million. That’s the number 
of physical pieces of product 
information Takeda sends out each 
year, from product summaries for 
health care providers to labels and 
packaging leaflets for each of our 
medicines and vaccines. In 2024, 
QDENGA will be one of Takeda´s first 
products to participate in an industry 
partnership working to reduce this 
number to zero. 
For the QDENGA world stock keeping 
unit (SKU), patient information 
leaflets in multiple languages will be 
hosted electronically by Takeda and 
accessible via the PharmaLedger 
Association’s electronic product 
information (ePI) web application. 
As a result, fewer resources will be 
used in packaging; reduced shipping 
volume and weight will lower our 
distribution-related GHG emissions 
for QDENGA. 
Health care providers can access 
the web application and scan the 
serialized code on the pack of 
product to find the most updated ePI 
leaflet in their preferred language. 
The application will also warn the 
user should the relevant product be 
past its expiry date. 
The project is part of PharmaLedger®,

SUPPORTING DENGUE CONTROL AND PREVENTION 
The Dengue Case Repository represents a significant milestone in 
our commitment to effectively manage dengue fever. This in-house 
repository consolidates data from several sources — public and private, 
international, national and regional — offering a powerful platform for 
analytics, collaboration and proactive management to map current 
dengue risk. It can also help us predict future outbreaks using AI 
models, positioning Takeda at the forefront of dengue fever control 
efforts in the future. 
Looking ahead 
The story of QDENGA is only 
beginning. We are committed to 
continuing our work to accelerate 
access to those threatened by the

Easing the burden of IBD 
With more than 35 years of 
experience in gastroenterology, 
Takeda has made significant strides 
in addressing the unmet needs of 
patients living with Inflammatory 
Bowel Disease (IBD) — with more 
hope on the way. 
IBD: A life-disrupting 
condition 
Ask any of the approximately 6.8 
million people living with IBD1 and 
they will likely tell you this incurable 
chronic condition does more than 
cause abdominal pain. Beyond 
physical challenges including 
moderate to severe diarrhea and 
fatigue, IBD can lead to mental 
and emotional impacts such as 
anxiety, embarrassment, feelings of 
isolation and depression that are 
just as debilitating as the condition’s 
physical affects.2 
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are two of 
the most common forms of IBD. Both are chronic, 
relapsing, remitting, inflammatory conditions of the 
gastrointestinal tract. 
Over two decades of focus 
and perseverance 
2024 marks 10 years since the 
approval of ENTYVIO® (vedolizumab). 
When approved in 2014, ENTYVIO 
was welcomed by health providers 
as a new treatment option — and the 
first to be simultaneously approved 
for both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s 
disease in adult patients. 
Since then, the biologic therapy 
has achieved more than 1 million 
patient years of treatment in over 
70 countries. And in 2023, following 
EU approval in 2020, a new option 
became available to patients in the 
United States and Japan — ENTYVIO 
subcutaneous (SC) administration, 
a single-dose pre-filled pen that can 
be self-administered at home. With 
regulatory approval3 in more than 
50 countries,4 ENTYVIO SC brings 
a second option for maintenance 
treatment for adults with moderate to 
severe ulcerative colitis.

approved for Crohn’s disease in the United States). 
4 As of March 2024. 
A LOOK BACK AT THE ROAD TO ENTYVIO AND ENTYVIO SC 
ENTYVIO’s road to approval was not 
easy. There were starts and stops 
in its development and at times 
it looked like the molecule might 
not go forward. But in the end, its 
champions persevered. 
“ENTYVIO was like the little engine 
that could,” remembers Mark Patti, 
director, Clinical Operations, who was 
involved in the development program 
for ENTYVIO starting in 2006. “It’s a 
testament to what happens when you 
believe in something and refuse to 
give up.” 
When the Phase 3 clinical trials 
began, it was the largest IBD program 
evaluating both ulcerative colitis and 
Crohn’s disease ever conducted, with 
2,700 subjects enrolled across more 
than 300 sites in 39 countries. 
Mark remembers when ENTYVIO 
was approved. “We were euphoric. 
When you see and hear directly from 
a patient what their life is like living 
with one of these conditions, it’s a 
reminder of why we do what we do,” 
said Mark. “That’s why I am still here 17 
years later.”

Supporting access and 
availability globally 
Part of our mission is working to 
ensure broad access to ENTYVIO— 
particularly for patients in 
underserved communities. 
Despite rising incomes around the 
developing world, affordability 
remains a significant barrier to 
accessing innovative medicines. The 
most effective and sustainable way 
to tackle this is through national 
reimbursement programs, however, 
in some countries these systems can 
take years to mature. 
To bridge this gap, we have several 
innovative approaches including 
tiered pricing, which allows for price 
adjustments relative to a country’s 
income level and other factors; 
value-based pricing, which responds 
to payers’ and providers’ needs to 
manage uncertainty; and patient 
assistance programs (PAPs), which 
help patients with limited means 
obtain our innovative treatments. 
Since 2020, through Takeda 
affordability-based PAPs in 13 low- 
and middle-income countries and 
countries with evolving health care 
systems, we have provided access to 
ENTYVIO to more than 1,800 patients 
who otherwise would have been 
unable to afford it. 
Because barriers to access go beyond 
affordability, we also collaborate with 
public and private sector partners to 
strengthen health care systems. For 
example, in 2023, we partnered with a 
hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia, to train 
and educate health care providers 
on IBD diagnosis, management 
and patient support. The hospital 
has become the first IBD center in 
Indonesia, helping IBD patients in the 
capital and surrounding area. Learn 
more about our approach to access 
to medicines. 
Ensuring sustainable supply 
with internal and external 
partners 
Ensuring our ability to supply 
ENTYVIO has required significant 
investment, like we did at our Hikari 
site for ENTYVIO IV, and in Linz. 
We manufacture ENTYVIO SC in 
Linz, Austria, where we are investing 
approximately €100 million to 
expand production over the next 
two years. This includes completing 
a new syringe production line, 
which is expected to substantially 
benefit our global supply for 
ENTYVIO. The site also supports 
the assembly, packaging, functional 
testing and release of pre-filled 
syringes and pre-filled pens for 
ENTYVIO SC, helping to support a 
sustainable supply. 
MEETING DEMAND WHILE REDUCING OUR 
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 
As we expand production to meet growing patient 
demand we also look for innovative ways to minimize 
our environmental impact. At our Brooklyn Park site in 
Minnesota, the U.S., recent achievements include chiller 
optimization resulting in 189,000 kilowatt-hour (kWh) per 
year energy savings and an optimized boiler make-up water 
strategy that will save approximately 145,000 liters of fresh 
water annually. For ENTYVIO SC, we introduced new multi-
pack packaging. We estimate that this will reduce our use of 
cartons by approximately 70% and leaflets by approximately 
50% a year. In addition to conserving resources and reducing 
waste this will also help reduce our carbon footprint. 
TOP HONORS 
In April 2024, the 
International Society for 
Pharmaceutical Engineering 
awarded Takeda top honors 
in the Operations category 
with the 2024 Facility of the 
Year Award. We received the 
honor for our efforts in Linz, 
Austria, to reduce the process 
performance qualification 
(PPQ) time for ENTYVIO 
SC by 50% for our prefilled 
syringe filling line. This will 
allow us to reduce the PPQ 
timeline for new production 
lines while further improving 
supply chain resilience.

Partnering with the IBD 
community 
Beyond the fundamental need for 
effective treatment options, we 
understand that improving patients’ 
lives depends on recognizing their 
needs. This includes maintaining a 
healthy diet and access to food that 
is less likely to trigger IBD symptoms. 
In 2023, we worked with renowned 
chefs from the Hyatt Regency Tokyo 
to design recipes that can be enjoyed 
even by people living with IBD with 
dietary restrictions. They developed a 
range of home-delivery meals called 
“Party Plates with IBD Patients,” 
carefully crafted with the guidance of 
a dietitian specializing in IBD. 
Global Cuisine: “Party Plate with IBD Patients” 
is a low-fat option developed for IBD patients 
in Japan who have difficulty eating due to 
dietary restrictions. A meal with less fiber and 
other irritants, it provides a new option for IBD 
patients. Takeda teamed with culinary experts 
throughout the world to create similar recipes 
including in China. 
WALKING IN THEIR SHOES 
Living with IBD can be hard to understand without experiencing it. 
That’s why Takeda created In Their Shoes, an immersive two-day 
simulation in which the participants “become the patient” and 
experience what it is like to live with IBD. To experience first-hand 
the challenges of IBD patients, the chefs of Hyatt Regency Tokyo 
participated in the program when we partnered for developing the 
party plates. 
“We realized that the restrictions faced by many IBD patients are 
more challenging than we initially thought, both physically and 
mentally,” said Shozo Okamoto, head chef, Hyatt Regency Tokyo. 
Katsuaki Hoshino, event kitchen chef, Hyatt Regency Tokyo, added, 
“Some dishes ended up being quite different from the initial vision. 
But through trial and error, we successfully created delicious meals 
that add diversity and color to the dining tables and lives of IBD 
patients.” 
Looking ahead 
While current treatments are easing 
the burden of IBD for millions of 
people around the world, we won’t 
stop innovating. As long as unmet 
need remains, our researchers will 
continue their efforts to explore 
new treatments and combinations 
of medicines to better manage 
IBD. We are also pushing the 
boundaries in other areas like chronic 
pouchitis where there is a significant 
unmet need. 
“Our work isn’t done yet. We’ll be 
here for patients for the long haul 
until the needs of all IBD patients are 
met,” said Shashi Adsul, head of our 
Global Medical Lead, ENTYVIO.

70 years of serving 
community and 
global needs 
Meeting the needs of patients 
doesn’t end with the discovery 
of a life-transforming medicine 
or vaccine. Our manufacturing 
teams across the world work 24/7 
to make sure patients can get the 
high-quality treatments they need, 
when they need them. In 2023, two 
of our sites marked 70 years of 
service — to patients, employees and 
the community. 
Old and new come together 
When you visit our manufacturing 
sites in Los Angeles, USA, or Vienna, 
Austria, you don’t feel like you are 
entering sites established seven 
decades ago — a time when Jonas 
Salk was developing the first polio 
vaccine and color television sets were 
a novelty. 
The buildings are filled with state-of-
the-art technology and equipment. 
Production operators wear virtual 
reality headsets. Augmented reality 
and robots help engineers carry out 
routine tasks, while drones validate 
that tanks used in production are 
clean. And outside, photovoltaic 
panels generate renewable energy. 
But one thing that has not changed, 
in all this time, is the focus at both 
sites on delivering uninterrupted 
supply of high-quality medicines. 
Making a difference 
“We know that patients rely on us, 
including many who have no other 
treatment options than what we 
produce right here,” says Maria 
Löflund, Vienna site head. “We have a 
critical mission that we are privileged 
to carry out — helping people live a 
better life.” 
A call to Vienna’s Supply Chain team 
from a hospital in Ireland brought this 
mission home. A 12-year-old patient 
was on infusion with sepsis, a serious 
condition in which the body responds 
improperly to an infection. The 
hospital needed CEPROTIN quickly to 
save the child’s life. 
CEPROTIN is a plasma-derived 
therapy (PDT) manufactured and 
packaged by Takeda in Vienna. 
It’s used for the treatment of the 
ultra-rare disorder involving severe 
congenital protein C deficiency. 
When time is critical, as in this case, 
the Vienna site can deliver what 
regulatory agencies refer to as “life-
saving shipments.” 
“We have a critical mission that we are privileged 
to carry out — helping people live a better life.”

Keeping biological medicines 
safe from virus transmission 
Our Vienna site is also home 
to our Global Pathogen Safety 
(GPS) team in our Global Quality 
organization, which plays a critical 
role in protecting patient safety. The 
GPS laboratory is vital to keeping 
biological medicinal products, 
such as plasma- and cell culture-
derived therapies, safe from virus 
transmission. 
During the development of any new 
Takeda PDT or biologics product, 
such as a vaccine, the lab works 
closely with our research and 
manufacturing teams. They develop 
processes to detect and then to 
inactivate or remove any viruses or 
pathogen that might be in the plasma 
or biologic materials manufactured 
into the product. Through rigorous 
testing, they validate the production 
process to achieve high safety 
margins — a critical requirement for 
regulatory approval. For Takeda’s 
biological medicines, each lot 
produced anywhere in the global 
Takeda network is tested in the 
Vienna lab. 
But it doesn’t stop there. When a new 
virus emerges anywhere in the world, 
the team conducts tests to confirm 
that the existing production process 
will inactivate or remove the threat. 
For example, when the COVID-19 
virus first appeared in 2019, the lab 
conducted tests with the virus to 
ensure there was no risk to patient 
safety when using our products. 
“There are patients whose 
safety depends on what we do 
here — especially those with 
immunodeficiencies,” says Thomas R. 
Kreil, global head of Pathogen 
Safety. “Our work gives them peace 
of mind.” 
Protecting employee safety 
The lab’s 70-person team works 
with some of the most potent live 
viruses in the world. To protect their 
safety, employees work in a secure 
biocontainment level 3 lab, which 
provides rigorous safety measures 
such as negative air pressure to the 
environment, full gowning and highly 
efficient particle filtration of air 
supplies to keep all team members, 
as well as the environment, safe. 
“There are patients whose safety depends  
on what we do here — especially those with 
immunodeficiencies. Our work gives them  
peace of mind.”

SUPPORTING INCLUSION  
FOR ALL 
Evgenia “Evi” Guenova found her 
way to Takeda through MyAbility, a 
program for people with disabilities 
to meet and interview with 
companies around Vienna. As a 
person profoundly hard of hearing, 
she became interested in joining 
Takeda after learning about its 
commitment to creating an inclusive 
work environment. She quickly found 
her team took that commitment 
to heart. 
“Even though my supervisor and 
colleagues had never been exposed 
to someone with hearing loss, they 
adapted really fast,” she recalls. “We 
were both patient and understanding 
with each other, so we were able to 
develop a good symbiosis. My lovely 
and funny colleagues are now my 
favorite part of my job.” 
Evi, a microbiology lab technician, 
also joined a TRG called EnAbles. 
Through the group, she meets once 
a month with other colleagues with 
disabilities to share their experiences 
and ideas to enhance the work 
environment at Takeda. 
“I realized Takeda’s philosophy is 
to always look for ways to improve 
things, not only for its business 
but for humanity,” she says. “They 
show interest in diversity and make 
the effort to listen to us and make 
permanent improvements.”

The Los Angeles site is also making 
a difference. 
“Thank you for your part in bringing 
hope and healing to families 
like ours,” was the message site 
leadership received from a parent. 
They were talking about BabyBIG® 
[Botulism Immune Globulin 
Intravenous (Human)], produced by 
Takeda through a unique not-for-
profit partnership with BabyBIG’s 
sponsor and license-holder, California 
Department of Public Health (CDPH). 
BabyBIG is the only US 
FDA-approved treatment for patients 
with the life-threatening disease, 
infant botulism caused by botulinum 
toxin type A and type B. There are 
approximately 150–180 cases of 
infant botulism in the United States 
each year. To meet this need, we 
produce one lot of BabyBIG at our 
Los Angeles site only once every five 
years. The CDPH distributes BabyBIG 
nationwide on a not-for-profit basis, 
and we produce it at a no-profit cost. 
Since 2003, more than 2,100 infant 
botulism patients in the United States 
have received BabyBIG, resulting 
in an aggregate of over 128 years 
of avoided hospital stays and more 
than $174 million of avoided hospital 
charges. On average, infant botulism 
patients treated with BabyBIG have 
an approximately 3.5-week reduction 
in times spent in the hospital, 
resulting in over $94,000 in avoided 
hospital costs per patient.

Collaborating to reduce 
emissions and water usage 
As both sites have grown, they have 
done so with a focus on protecting 
the environment around them. 
“Our focus is to deliver the maximum 
amount of product to our patients 
worldwide with minimal impact on 
our environment,” said Christian Bugl, 
head of Environment, Health and 
Safety, and Ethics and Compliance 
in Vienna. 
Vienna has also played a leading role 
in our efforts to conserve resources. 
Since 2007, it has operated using 
100% renewable energy and has 
more than 50 initiatives underway to 
reduce energy, water and waste. 
Collaboration is critical to its 
progress. This includes a public-
private partnership to develop 
a ground-breaking process that 
would replace carbon-intensive 
natural gas with steam-generating 
heat pumps, helping to reduce 
GHG emissions. Together with the 
research institute AIT (Austrian 
Institute of Technology) and heat 
pump manufacturer Sustainable 
Process Heat GmbH, the innovation 
will mark the first time that 
natural gas-free, steam-generating 
heat pumps using 100% natural 
refrigerants will be integrated 
into industrial operation when in 
use at our site. The collaboration 
was recognized in 2023 with the 
Net-Zero Industries Award National 
Winner Austria at COP28 in Dubai. 
Our Los Angeles site is also making 
progress. In 2023, it launched the use 
of fuel cells, solar power and energy 
storage using battery packs. 
We also prioritize water conservation 
at the site, which is in an area of 
high-risk for water scarcity according 
to the World Resources Institute 
Aqueduct tool. The site has reduced 
its fresh water use by 14 million 
liters per year — equivalent to the 
amount of fresh water used by 55 Los 
Angeles homes annually — through 
recycled wastewater by a reversed 
osmosis process to cooling towers. In 
2023, in recognition for our efforts, 
the Los Angeles Department of 
Water and Power awarded the site 
its top leadership award for water 
management and conservancy. 
“We are stewards of this site,” said 
Angelica Nava, head of Environment, 
Health and Safety in Los Angeles. 
“Previous generations have helped 
ensure resources are available for 
the medicines we make here today, 
and we’re doing the same for future 
generations to come.” 
Looking to the future 
A lot has happened in 70 years, and 
both sites continue to play important 
roles — providing innovative 
medicines that have helped save 
lives, empowering employees to 
build meaningful and rewarding 
careers, and helping to conserve 
local resources for the future.  
“Our journey over the past 70 years has been shaped by  
our unwavering commitment to the health and well-being 
of patients. It is this commitment that sustains us as we 
continue to evolve and adapt to deliver on our promise.”

We expect fiscal year 2024 to be the 
final year of significant headwind from 
the loss of high-margin VYVANSE to 
generic erosion in the United States. 
Continued momentum of our Growth 
& Launch Products, with double-
digit percentage growth at CER 
expected in fiscal year 2024, should 
largely alleviate this headwind. On 
a CER basis, we expect our revenue 
to remain flat or decline slightly with 
Core Operating Profit to decline by 
approximately 10%, and Core EPS to 
decline in the mid-10s%. 
We expect to have up to six pipeline 
assets in Phase 3 development in 
fiscal year 2024 that together have 
the potential to generate significant 
value. While we plan to increase our 
R&D budget moderately in fiscal year 
2024, rigorous prioritization will allow 
us to contain our R&D budget increase 
while developing these late-stage 
programs. Although we are guiding 
for fiscal year 2024 to be another year 
of profit decline, we are positioned for 
a return to revenue and profit growth 
from fiscal year 2025.

1 Convenience translations have been made at an exchange rate of 1USD = 151.22 JPY. 
2 Further information regarding certain of Takeda’s Non-IFRS measures is posted on Takeda’s investor relations website. 
3 Core results adjust our reported results calculated and presented pursuant to IFRS to exclude the effect of items unrelated to Takeda’s core operations, such as, to the extent applicable for each line item, non-recurring items, purchase accounting effects and transaction related costs, as well as 
amortization and impairment of intangible assets and other operating income and expenses and the tax effect of each of the adjustments. 
4 We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities, subtracting acquisition of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), intangible assets and investments as well as removing any other cash that is not available to Takeda’s immediate or general business use, and adding proceeds 
from sales of PP&E, as well as from sales of investments and businesses, net of cash and cash equivalents divested. Free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial measure.  Starting from the quarter Ending June 30, 2024, we will i) change the title of Free Cash Flow as currently represented to “Adjusted 
Free Cash Flow” and ii) report “Free Cash Flow” as cash flows from operating activities less acquisition of PP&E. This change is intended to enhance the comparability of our Free Cash Flow disclosures to those of our peers and to better describe the nature of these measures as presented 
by Takeda. 
5 CER (constant exchange rate) change eliminates the effect of foreign exchange rates from year-over-year comparisons by translating Reported or Core results for the current period using corresponding exchange rates in the same period of the previous fiscal year.  Starting from the quarter 
ending June 30, 2024, we will cease adjustments for CER change for the results of operations of subsidiaries in countries experiencing hyperinflation and for which IAS29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies, is applied, because of the increased impacts of hyperinflation in the 
calculation of CER change using corresponding exchange rates in the same period of the previous fiscal year, effectively keeping CER change for these subsidiaries unchanged from those reported with IAS29. 
Beginning in fiscal year 2024, we 
are implementing an enterprise-
wide efficiency program focused on 
organizational agility, procurement 
savings, and capitalizing on our 
ongoing investment in data, digital 
and technology. We anticipate 140 
billion yen in restructuring costs this 
year primarily related to this program 
with some additional, lower costs in 
the next couple of years.  
From fiscal year 2025, we anticipate 
a return to revenue growth driven by 
our Growth & Launch Products, with 
limited LOE exposure until the early 
2030s. The new efficiency program 
will free up resources to invest 
in growth opportunities such as 
advancing the pipeline, new product 
launches, and continuing to build our 
DD&T capabilities, and will support us 
in delivering 100 to 250 basis points 
of Core Operating Profit margin 
improvement each year towards our 
target of low-to-mid 30s%. 
Guided by our vision to discover and 
deliver life-transforming treatments, 
and with a focus on maintaining 
solid investment grade credit ratings, 
we will allocate capital to deliver 
sustainable value to patients while 
delivering attractive returns to our 
shareholders. In alignment with 
our progressive dividend policy 
and reflecting confidence in our 
long-term growth outlook and cash 
flow generation, we plan to raise our 
dividend from 188 yen to 196 yen per 
share in fiscal year 2024.

are calculated differently from, the 
most closely comparable measures 
presented in accordance with IFRS. 
Takeda’s non-IFRS measures are not 
prepared in accordance with IFRS 
and such non-IFRS measures should 
be considered a supplement to, 
and not a substitute for, measures 
prepared in accordance with IFRS 
(which we sometimes refer to as 
“reported” measures). Investors 
are encouraged to review the 
definitions and reconciliations of 
non-IFRS financial measures to 
their most directly comparable IFRS 
measures. Beginning in the quarter 
ending June 30, 2024, Takeda will 
(i) change its methodology for CER 
adjustments to results of subsidiaries 
in hyperinflation countries to present 
those results in a manner consistent 
with IAS 29, Financial Reporting in 
Hyperinflation Economies, and (ii) 
re-name Free Cash Flow as currently 
calculated as “Adjusted Free Cash 
Flow” (with “Free Cash Flow” to be 
reported as Operating Cash Flow less 
Property, Plant and Equipment). 
The usefulness of Core Financial 
Measures to investors has significant 
limitations including, but not limited 
to, (i) they are not necessarily 
identical to similarly titled measures 
used by other companies, including 
those in the pharmaceutical 
industry, (ii) they exclude financial 
information and events, such as the 
effects of non-cash expenses such 
as dispositions or amortization of 
intangible assets, that some may 
consider important in evaluating 
Takeda’s performance, value or 
prospects for the future, (iii) they 
exclude items or types of items that 
may continue to occur from period 
to period in the future (however, it 
is Takeda’s policy not to adjust out 
normal, recurring cash operating 
expenses necessary to operate our 
business) and (iv) they may not 
include all items which investors 
may consider important to an 
understanding of our results of 
operations, or exclude all items which 
investors may not consider to be so. 
Exchange Rates  
In this report, certain amounts 
presented in Japanese yen have 
been translated to US dollars solely 
for the convenience of the reader. 
Except where otherwise noted, these

Definition of Core Financial 
Measures, Constant Exchange 
Rate change, and Free Cash 
Flow 
Core Revenue represents 
revenue adjusted to exclude 
significant revenue items 
unrelated to the underlying 
trends and business performance 
of Takeda’s core operations. 
Core Operating Profit represents 
operating profit adjusted to exclude 
other operating expenses and 
income, amortization and impairment 
losses on acquired intangible 
assets and other noncash items or 
items unrelated to the underlying 
trends and business performance 
of Takeda’s core operations. 
Core EPS represents net profit 
adjusted to exclude the impact of 
items excluded in the calculation 
of Core Operating Profit, and other 
non-operating items (e.g. amongst 
other items, fair value adjustments 
and the imputed financial charge 
related to contingent consideration) 
that are unusual, non-recurring in 
nature or unrelated to the underlying 
trends and business performance of 
Takeda’s ongoing operations and the 
tax effect of each of the adjustments, 
divided by the average outstanding 
shares (excluding treasury shares) 
of the reporting periods presented. 
Constant Exchange Rate (CER) 
change eliminates the effect of 
foreign exchange rates from year-
over-year comparisons by translating 
Reported or Core results for the 
current period using corresponding 
exchange rates in the same period 
of the previous fiscal year. Starting 
from the quarter ending June 30, 
2024, we will cease adjustments 
for CER change for the results of 
operations of subsidiaries in countries 
experiencing hyperinflation and for 
which IAS29, Financial Reporting 
in Hyperinflation Economies, is 
applied, because of the increased 
impacts of hyperinflation in the 
calculation of CER change using 
corresponding exchange rates in the 
same period of the previous fiscal 
year, effectively keeping CER change 
for these subsidiaries unchanged 
from those reported with IAS29. 
We present Free Cash Flow because 
we believe that this measure is useful 
to investors as similar measures 
of liquidity are frequently used 
by securities analysts, investors 
and other interested parties in 
the evaluation of companies in 
our industry. Free Cash Flow is 
also used by our management to 
evaluate our liquidity and our cash 
flows, particularly as they relate 
to our ability to meet our liquidity 
requirements and to support our 
capital allocation policies. We also 
believe that Free Cash Flow is 
helpful to investors in understanding 
how our strategic acquisitions and 
divestitures of businesses contribute 
to the cash flows and liquidity. 
We define Free Cash Flow as cash 
flows from operating activities, 
subtracting acquisition of property, 
plant and equipment (“PP&E”), 
intangible assets and investments 
as well as removing any other cash 
that is not available to Takeda’s 
immediate or general business use, 
and adding proceeds from sales 
of PP&E, as well as from sales of 
investments and businesses, net of 
cash and cash equivalents divested. 
The usefulness of Free Cash Flow to 
investors has significant limitations 
including, but not limited to, (i) it may 
not be comparable to similarly titled 
measures used by other companies, 
including those in our industry, (ii) 
it does not reflect the effect of our 
current and future contractual and 
other commitments requiring the use 
or allocation of capital and (iii) the 
addition of proceeds from sales and 
redemption of investments and the 
proceeds from sales of business, net 
of cash and cash equivalents divested 
do not represent cash received from 
our core ongoing operations. Free 
Cash Flow should not be considered 
in isolation and is not, and should 
not be viewed as, a substitute for 
cash flows from operating activities 
or any other measure of liquidity 
presented in accordance with IFRS. 
The most directly comparable 
measure under IFRS for Free Cash 
Flow is net cash from operating 
activities. Starting from the quarter 
ending June 30, 2024, we will i) 
change the title of Free Cash Flow as 
currently represented to “Adjusted 
Free Cash Flow” and ii) report “Free 
Cash Flow” as cash flows from 
operating activities less acquisition 
of PP&E. This change is intended 
to enhance the comparability of 
our Free Cash Flow disclosures to 
those of our peers and to better 
describe the nature of these 
measures as presented by Takeda. 
Definition of EBITDA/ 
Adjusted EBITDA and Net 
Debt 
We present EBITDA and Adjusted 
EBITDA because we believe that 
these measures are useful to 
investors as they are frequently 
used by securities analysts, investors 
and other interested parties in 
the evaluation of companies in 
our industry. We further believe 
that Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to 
investors in identifying trends in its 
business that could otherwise be 
obscured by certain items unrelated 
to ongoing operations because they 
are highly variable, difficult to predict,

may substantially impact our results 
of operations and may limit the 
ability to evaluate our performance 
from one period to another on a 
consistent basis. 
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should 
not be considered in isolation or 
construed as alternatives to operating 
income, net profit for the year or 
any other measure of performance 
presented in accordance with IFRS. 
These non-IFRS measures may 
not be comparable to similarly-
titled measures presented by 
other companies. 
The usefulness of EBITDA and 
Adjusted EBITDA to investors has 
limitations including, but not limited 
to, (i) they may not be comparable 
to similarly titled measures used by 
other companies, including those 
in our industry, (ii) they exclude 
financial information and events, 
such as the effects of an acquisition 
or amortization of intangible assets, 
that some may consider important 
in evaluating our performance, value 
or prospects for the future, (iii) they 
exclude items or types of items that 
may continue to occur from period to 
period in the future and (iv) they may 
not exclude all items which investors 
may consider to be unrelated to 
our long-term operations. These 
non-IFRS measures are not, and 
should not be viewed as, substitutes 
for IFRS reported net income (loss). 
We encourage investors to review 
our historical financial statements in 
their entirety and caution investors 
to use IFRS measures as the primary 
means of evaluating our performance, 
value and prospects for the future, 
and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as 
supplemental measures. 
We define EBITDA as consolidated 
net profit before income tax 
expenses, depreciation and 
amortization and net interest 
expense. We define Adjusted 
EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted 
to exclude impairment losses, other 
operating income and expenses 
(excluding depreciation and 
amortization), finance income and 
expenses (excluding net interest 
expense), our share of loss from 
investments accounted for under the 
equity method and other items that 
management believes are unrelated 
to our core operations such as 
purchase accounting effects and 
transaction related costs. 
The most closely comparable 
measure presented in accordance 
with IFRS is net profit for the period. 
Please refer to Net Profit to Adjusted 
EBITDA Bridge for a reconciliation 
to the respective most closely 
comparable measures presented in 
accordance with IFRS. 
We present Net Debt because we 
believe that it is useful to investors 
in that our management uses 
it to monitor and evaluate our 
indebtedness, net of cash and cash 
equivalents, and, in conjunction 
with Adjusted EBITDA, to monitor 
our leverage. We also believe that 
similar measures of indebtedness are 
frequently used by securities analysts, 
investors and other interested parties 
in the evaluation of companies in 
our industry. 
We define Net Debt first by 
calculating the sum of the current 
and non-current portions of 
bonds and loans as shown on our 
consolidated statement of financial 
position, which is then adjusted 
to reflect (i) the use of prior 
12-month average exchange rates 
for non-JPY debt outstanding at 
the beginning of the period and the 
use of relevant spot rates for new 
non-JPY debt incurred and existing 
non-JPY debt redeemed during the 
reporting period, which reflects the 
methodology our management uses 
to monitor our leverage, and (ii) a 
50% equity credit applied to our 
aggregate principal amount of JPY 
500.0 billion hybrid (subordinated) 
bonds issued in June 2019 by S&P 
Global Rating Japan in recognition 
of the equity-like features of those 
bonds pursuant to such agency’s 
ratings methodology. To calculate 
Net Debt, we deduct from this figure 
cash & cash equivalents, excluding 
cash temporarily held by Takeda 
on behalf of third parties related to 
vaccine operations and to the trade 
receivables sales program, and debt 
investments classified as Level 1 in the 
fair value hierarchy being recorded as 
Other Financial Assets. 
The usefulness of Net Debt to 
investors has significant limitations 
including, but not limited to, (i) it 
may not be comparable to similarly 
titled measures used by other 
companies, including those in our 
industry, (ii) it does not reflect the 
amounts of interest payments to 
be paid on our indebtedness, (iii) 
it does not reflect any restrictions 
on our ability to prepay or redeem 
any of our indebtedness, (iv) it 
does not reflect any fees, costs or 
other expenses that we may incur in 
converting cash equivalents to cash, 
in converting cash from one currency 
into another or in moving cash 
within our consolidated group, (v) it 
applies to gross debt an adjustment 
for average foreign exchange rates 
which, although consistent with 
our financing agreements, does 
not reflect the actual rates at which 
we would be able to convert one 
currency into another and (vi) it 
reflects an equity credit due to 
the fact that the amounts of our 
subordinated bonds, although we 
believe it to be reasonable, do not 
affect the status of those instruments 
as indebtedness. Net Debt should 
not be considered in isolation and 
is not, and should not be viewed as, 
a substitute for bonds and loans or 
any other measure of indebtedness 
presented in accordance with IFRS. 
The most directly comparable 
measures under IFRS for Net Debt 
is bonds and loans. Please refer to 
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for a 
reconciliation to this measure.
