Takeda (NYSE: TAK) balances VYVANSE hit with cash strength and modest FY2025 upgrade
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited reported mixed results for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. Revenue fell to JPY 3,411.2 billion, down 3.3% year over year, mainly because its ADHD drug VYVANSE in the U.S. faced heavy generic competition, sharply reducing Neuroscience revenue.
Despite lower sales, cost controls and fewer restructuring charges helped operating profit edge up 1.2% to JPY 422.4 billion, while net profit rose 2.4% to JPY 216.3 billion. Core operating profit and Core EPS declined about 3–4% as Takeda absorbed lower Neuroscience revenue and higher impairments on certain R&D assets.
The balance sheet strengthened, with total assets at JPY 15.4 trillion and the equity ratio improving to 49.6%. Operating cash flow increased to JPY 966.9 billion, supporting ongoing dividends; the company projects a full-year dividend of JPY 200 per share. Management slightly raised FY2025 revenue, operating profit and EPS forecasts, mainly from foreign-exchange tailwinds, but revised Core Revenue guidance to a low-single-digit decline at constant exchange rates.

Insights
Core earnings dip modestly as VYVANSE generics bite, but cash flow and guidance remain solid.
Takeda shows resilient profitability in the face of revenue pressure. Nine‑month revenue declined JPY 117.0 billion (3.3%) as U.S. VYVANSE lost exclusivity, driving a 31.1% drop in Neuroscience revenue. Yet operating profit still grew 1.2% to JPY 422.4 billion, helped by lower restructuring costs and broad cost discipline.
Growth areas offset part of the shock. GI, PDT, Oncology and Vaccines all posted revenue gains, with ENTYVIO, QDENGA and plasma immunoglobulin therapies expanding. Core operating profit slipped only 3.4% to JPY 971.6 billion, while Core EPS eased to JPY 428, reflecting generic headwinds and higher impairments on discontinued R&D platforms.
Cash generation and balance sheet metrics are strong. Net cash from operating activities rose to JPY 966.9 billion, and equity climbed to JPY 7.6 trillion, supporting a planned JPY 200 full‑year dividend per share. Management nudged FY2025 revenue and profit forecasts higher—largely on FX—while shifting Core Revenue guidance from “broadly flat” to a low‑single‑digit decline at constant exchange rates, signalling near‑term growth pressure but underlying stability.

FAQ
How did Takeda (TAK) perform in the nine months ended December 31, 2025?
Takeda delivered slightly higher profits on lower sales. Nine‑month revenue declined 3.3% to JPY 3,411.2 billion, but operating profit rose 1.2% to JPY 422.4 billion and net profit increased 2.4% to JPY 216.3 billion, supported by cost savings and fewer restructuring charges.
What drove Takeda’s revenue decline in FY2025 Q3 year-to-date?
The main drag was U.S. generic competition to VYVANSE. Neuroscience revenue fell 31.1% to JPY 314.5 billion, with VYVANSE/ELVANSE sales down 46.0% to JPY 155.1 billion. This outweighed growth in GI, plasma‑derived therapies, Oncology and Vaccines, leading to a 3.3% total revenue decline.
How are Takeda’s core earnings and Core EPS trending in FY2025?
Core metrics are down modestly from last year. Core operating profit slipped 3.4% to JPY 971.6 billion and Core net profit attributable to owners declined 3.6% to JPY 673.6 billion. Core EPS fell from JPY 443 to JPY 428, reflecting lower Neuroscience revenue and higher impairment charges.
What FY2025 guidance did Takeda provide and how was it revised?
Takeda slightly raised full-year profit forecasts but cut core growth expectations. FY2025 revenue is now projected at JPY 4,530.0 billion and operating profit at JPY 410.0 billion, both modestly above October guidance. At constant exchange rates, management now expects a low-single-digit decline in Core Revenue.
How strong is Takeda’s balance sheet and cash flow as of December 31, 2025?
The company shows solid leverage and liquidity. Total assets reached JPY 15,408.8 billion and equity rose to JPY 7,644.1 billion, with an equity ratio of 49.6%. Net cash from operating activities increased to JPY 966.9 billion, lifting cash and cash equivalents to JPY 654.9 billion.
What dividend is Takeda expecting to pay for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026?
Takedaaims to modestly raise its dividend. The company paid total dividends of JPY 196.00 per share for the prior fiscal year and now projects JPY 200.00 per share for the year ending March 31, 2026, including two JPY 100.00 installments.
Which business areas and key products are currently growing for Takeda?
Growth is led by GI, plasma therapies, Oncology and Vaccines. ENTYVIO revenue rose 6.5% to JPY 744.5 billion, QDENGA vaccines grew 25.9% to JPY 37.7 billion, and immunoglobulin products reached JPY 593.6 billion, helping offset pressure from VYVANSE generics and certain hemophilia products.
