Revenue. Revenue for the six-month period ended September 30, 2022 was 1,974.8 billion JPY, an increase of 180.3 billion JPY, or 10.1% (CER % change: -2.3%), compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. The increase is primarily attributable to growth from business momentum and favorable foreign exchange rates, offsetting the decrease of revenue in the current period due to the sale of a portfolio of diabetes products in Japan to Teijin Pharma Limited for 133.0 billion JPY, which was recorded as revenue in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Revenue of our core therapeutic areas (i.e. Gastroenterology (“GI”), Rare Diseases, Plasma-Derived Therapies (“PDT”) Immunology, Oncology, and Neuroscience) increased by 315.6 billion JPY, or 22.0%, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, to 1,750.2 billion JPY. Each of our core therapeutic areas, except Oncology, contributed to positive revenue growth due to growth from business momentum and favorable foreign exchange rates. Generic erosion and intensified competition impacted certain Oncology products in the current period.

Revenue outside of our core therapeutic areas significantly decreased by 135.2 billion JPY, or 37.6%, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 224.6 billion JPY, largely due to the aforementioned non-recurring 133.0 billion JPY selling price of the diabetes portfolio in Japan recorded as revenue in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

*2 The 133.0 billion JPY selling price of the sale of diabetes portfolio in Japan is included in the six-month period ended September 30, 2021.

Year-on-year change in revenue for this six-month period in each of our main therapeutic areas was primarily attributable to the following products:

•GI. In Gastroenterology, revenue was 546.4 billion JPY, a year-on-year increase of 117.3 billion JPY, or 27.3% (CER % change: 11.7%). Growth was driven by Takeda’s top-selling product ENTYVIO (for ulcerative colitis (“UC”) and Crohn’s disease (“CD”)), with sales of 346.6 billion JPY and a year-on-year increase of 90.7 billion JPY, or 35.4%. Sales of ENTYVIO in the U.S. increased by 72.5 billion JPY, or 42.3%, to 243.8 billion JPY, driven by a continued increase in the first line biologic inflammatory bowel disease (“IBD”) population both in UC and CD and favorable foreign exchange rates. Sales of ENTYVIO in Europe and Canada increased by 12.2 billion JPY, or 18.3%, to 78.8 billion JPY, supported by continued launches of the subcutaneous formulation. In the Growth and Emerging Markets, the increase in sales of ENTYVIO was led by growth in Brazil. Sales of DEXILANT (for acid reflux disease) were 38.0 billion JPY, an increase of 12.3 billion JPY, or 47.8% versus the same period of the previous fiscal year, due to the increased sales of authorized generics in the U.S. Sales of GATTEX/REVESTIVE (for short bowel syndrome) were 48.4 billion JPY, an increase of 11.6 billion JPY, or 31.5%, primarily due to increased market penetration and new country launches, including Japan in August 2021. Sales of TAKECAB/VOCINTI (for acid-related diseases) were 54.7 billion JPY, an increase of 5.6 billion JPY, or 11.4%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year, primarily due to increased sales in China. In Japan, sales were mainly driven by the expansion of new prescriptions in the Japanese market due to TAKECAB’s efficacy in reflux esophagitis and the prevention of recurrence of gastric and duodenal ulcers during low-dose aspirin administration, despite a negative impact associated with the market expansion re-pricing applied in April 2022. Sales of PENTASA (for UC) were 4.7 billion JPY, a decrease of 5.3 billion JPY, or 53.2%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year due to generic erosion in the U.S. from May 2022.

- 4 -

•Rare Diseases. In Rare Diseases, revenue was 362.2 billion JPY, a year-on-year increase of 62.2 billion JPY, or 20.7% (CER % change: 8.3%).

Revenue in Rare Hematology increased by 14.1 billion JPY, or 10.0% (CER % change: -1.5%), to 155.7 billion JPY. Sales of ADVATE (for hemophilia A), ADYNOVATE/ADYNOVI (for hemophilia A) and FEIBA (for hemophilia A and B) increased by 1.1 billion JPY or 1.8% to 62.4 billion JPY, 4.4 billion JPY or 14.8% to 34.4 billion JPY, and 1.1 billion JPY or 5.6% to 21.3 billion JPY, respectively, primarily due to favorable foreign exchange rates partially offset by negative impacts from competition in the U.S.

Revenue in Rare Genetics and Other was 206.5 billion JPY, a year-on-year increase of 48.0 billion JPY, or 30.3% (CER % change: 17.0%). Sales of TAKHZYRO (for hereditary angioedema) were 72.8 billion JPY, an increase of 25.3 billion JPY, or 53.2%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year primarily due to expansion of the prophylactic market, continued geographic expansion and strong patient uptake as well as favorable foreign exchange rates. Sales of REPLAGAL (for Fabry disease) increased by 8.4 billion JPY, or 32.3%, to 34.3 billion JPY, primarily due to the succession to manufacturing and marketing rights in Japan by Takeda upon expiration of the relevant license agreement in February 2022. Sales of other enzyme replacement therapies ELAPRASE (for Hunter syndrome) and VPRIV (for Gaucher disease) increased by 7.6 billion JPY and 2.4 billion JPY, respectively, primarily due to increased sales in Growth and Emerging Markets. Sales of LIVTENCITY (for post-transplant cytomegalovirus (“CMV”) infection/disease), which was launched in the U.S. in December 2021, were 4.2 billion JPY in the current period.

•PDT Immunology. In Plasma-Derived Therapies (“PDT”) Immunology, revenue increased by 75.9 billion JPY, or 31.9% (CER % change: 14.2%) compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, to 314.0 billion JPY. Aggregate sales of immunoglobulin products were 245.1 billion JPY, an increase of 63.7 billion JPY, or 35.2%, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. Sales of each of our three global immunoglobulin brands marked double digit percentage of revenue growth, due to continued strong demand globally and growing supply, especially in the U.S., where the pandemic pressure is now easing, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates. Those include GAMMAGARD LIQUID/KIOVIG (for the treatment of primary immunodeficiency (“PID”) and multifocal motor neuropathy (“MMN”)), and subcutaneous immunoglobulin therapies (CUVITRU and HYQVIA) which are growing due to their benefit to patients and convenience in administration compared to intravenous therapies. Aggregate sales of albumin products including HUMAN ALBUMIN and FLEXBUMIN (primarily used for hypovolemia and hypoalbuminemia) were 51.8 billion JPY, an increase of 10.0 billion JPY, or 24.0%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year driven by strong albumin demand in Europe and in Growth and Emerging Markets.

•Oncology. In Oncology, revenue was 225.3 billion JPY, a year-on-year decrease of 8.4 billion JPY, or 3.6% (CER % change: -11.5%), impacted by the rapid generic erosion of VELCADE (for multiple myeloma) sales in the U.S. Sales of VELCADE decreased by 34.3 billion JPY, or 62.2%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year to 20.8 billion JPY predominantly due to multiple generic entrants in the U.S. starting in May 2022. Sales of NINLARO (for multiple myeloma) were 48.8 billion JPY, an increase of 3.0 billion JPY, or 6.6%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year, aided by favorable foreign exchange rates, which were offset partially by intensified competition and decreased demand mainly in the U.S. Sales of ADCETRIS (for malignant lymphomas) were 41.7 billion JPY, an increase of 7.6 billion JPY, or 22.2%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year, led by strong growth in countries such as Italy and China. Sales of ICLUSIG (for leukemia) were 23.2 billion JPY, an increase of 5.4 billion JPY, or 30.0%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year, due to steady growth in the U.S. and also aided by favorable foreign exchange rates. Sales of ALUNBRIG (for non-small cell lung cancer) were 9.7 billion JPY, an increase of 3.5 billion JPY, or 55.6%, benefitting from strong demand in the Growth and Emerging Markets and in Europe. Sales of EXKIVITY (for non-small cell lung cancer), which launched in the U.S. in September 2021, were 1.4 billion JPY in the current period.

•Neuroscience. In Neuroscience, revenue was 302.3 billion JPY, a year-on-year increase of 68.6 billion JPY, or 29.3% (CER % change: 10.6%). Sales of VYVANSE/ELVANSE (for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”)) were 211.2 billion JPY, an increase of 52.0 billion JPY, or 32.6%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year mainly driven by the growth of the adult market in the U.S. and favorable foreign exchange rates. Sales of TRINTELLIX (for major depressive disorder (“MDD”)) were 49.8 billion JPY, an increase of 9.7 billion JPY, or 24.3%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year, due to increasing prescriptions in the U.S. and in Japan. Sales of INTUNIV (for ADHD) increased by 3.0 billion JPY, or 39.9%, versus the same period of the previous fiscal year, to 10.5 billion JPY driven by an increase of sales in Japan.Sales of ADDERALL XR (for ADHD) also increased, by 2.9 billion JPY or 30.1% versus the same period of the previous fiscal year, to 12.5 billion JPY mainly due to sales increases in the U.S.

Cost of Sales. Cost of Sales increased by 81.3 billion JPY, or 15.7% (CER % change: 3.9%), to 598.3 billion JPY. The increase was primarily due to the depreciation of the yen and a sales increase in our core therapeutic areas as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. The Cost of Sales Ratio increased by 1.5 pp compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 30.3%. The main reason for the increase in the Cost of Sales Ratio was the effect of the sale of a portfolio of diabetes products in Japan with the selling price of 133.0 billion JPY being recorded in revenue in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

- 5 -

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses. SG&A expenses increased by 48.4 billion JPY, or 11.2% (CER % change: -1.4%) compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, to 480.2 billion JPY, due to the impact from the depreciation of the yen in the current period.

Research and Development (R&D) expenses. R&D expenses increased by 43.7 billion JPY, or 17.2% (CER % change: 1.4%) compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, to 297.8 billion JPY, mainly due to the impact from the depreciation of the yen in the current period.

Amortization and Impairment Losses on Intangible Assets Associated with Products. Amortization and Impairment Losses on Intangible Assets Associated with Products increased by 68.1 billion JPY, or 33.1% (CER % change: 13.2%) compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, to 273.6 billion JPY, mainly due to the impact from the depreciation of the yen in the current period and an increase in impairment charges for certain assets related to in-process R&D and marketed products.

Other Operating Income. Other Operating Income was 13.5 billion JPY, a decrease of 6.1 billion JPY, or 31.0% (CER % change: -36.9%), compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year primarily due to a 8.4 billion JPY change in fair value of financial assets and liabilities associated with contingent consideration arrangements recognized in the same period of the previous fiscal year

Other Operating Expenses. Other Operating Expenses were 83.4 billion JPY, an increase of 23.9 billion JPY, or 40.2% (CER % change: 22.0%), compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, primarily due to increases in reserves and provisions during the current period, including a 12.9 billion JPY increase of valuation reserve for pre-launch inventory, partially offset by a decrease in restructuring expenses attributable to the decrease in Shire integration costs.

Operating Profit. As a result of the above factors, Operating Profit decreased by 91.0 billion JPY, or 26.3% (CER % change: -30.7%) compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 255.0 billion JPY.

Net Finance Expenses. Net Finance Expenses were 33.6 billion JPY in the current period, a decrease of 24.5 billion JPY, or 42.2% (CER % change: -35.2%) compared to Net Finance Expenses of 58.0 billion JPY for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Included in the current period are a gain on prior equity method investments related to the acquisitions of GammaDelta Therapeutics and Adaptate Biotherapeutics in April 2022 as well as a derivative gain on the warrant to purchase stocks of a company that went public in May 2022 recorded in the current period.

Share of Loss of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method.Share of Loss of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Methodwas 1.4 billion JPY, a decrease of 2.2 billion JPY, or 61.3% (CER % change: -76.7%), compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Income Tax Expenses. Income Tax Expenses were 53.3 billion JPY, a decrease of 47.4 billion JPY, or 47.1% (CER % change; -44.1%), compared to the same period of the previous year. This decrease was primarily due to a tax charge of 63.7 billion JPY for tax and interest, net of 0.5 billion JPY of associated tax benefit, arising from tax assessment involving Irish taxation of the break fee Shire received from AbbVie in connection with the terminated offer to acquire Shire made by AbbVie in 2014 in the same period of the previous year as well as tax benefits from recognition of deferred tax assets in the current period. These decreases were partially offset by the tax benefits from internal entity restructuring transactions in the same period of the previous year and tax charges from legal entity restructuring in the current period.

Net Profit for the Period. Net Profit for the Period decreased by 17.0 billion JPY, or 9.2% (CER % change: -21.1%), compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 166.8 billion JPY.

Core Results (April 1 to September 30, 2022)

Definition of Core financial measures and Constant Exchange Rate change

Core Revenue represents revenue adjusted to exclude significant items unrelated to Takeda's core operations.

Core Operating Profit represents net profit adjusted to exclude income tax expenses, the share of profit or loss of investments accounted for using the equity method, finance expenses and income, other operating expenses and income, amortization and impairment losses on acquired intangible assets and other items unrelated to Takeda’s core operations, such as non-recurring items, purchase accounting effects and transaction related costs.

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 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.

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.

Equity. Total Equity as of September 30, 2022 was 6,713.5 billion JPY, an increase of 1,030.0 billion JPY compared to the previous fiscal year-end. This was primarily resulted from an increase of 977.0 billion JPY in Other Components of Equity mainly due to fluctuation in currency translation adjustments reflecting the depreciation of yen and an increase in Retained Earnings of 50.5 billion JPY. The increase in Retained Earnings was primarily attributable to Net Profit for the Period partially offset by the dividends payments of 138.2 billion JPY.

Consolidated Cash Flows

	Billion JPY
	FY2021 H1	FY2022 H1
Net cash from (used in) operating activities	400.0	305.2
Net cash from (used in) investing activities	(103.3)	(121.9)
Net cash from (used in) financing activities	(658.4)	(267.6)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	(361.7)	(84.3)
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the year	966.2	849.7
Effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	3.4	32.7
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period	607.9	798.1

Net cash from operating activities was 305.2 billion JPY for the current period compared to 400.0 billion JPY for the same period of the previous year. The decrease of 94.8 billion JPY was primarily driven by a decrease in trade and other payables. This unfavorable impact was partially offset by higher net profit for the period adjusted for non-cash items and other adjustments reflecting sales increases in core therapeutic areas and favorable foreign exchange rates largely offset by the decrease of cash from the sale of Japan diabetes portfolio in the same period of prior fiscal year.

Net cash used in investing activities was 121.9 billion JPY for the current period compared to 103.3 billion JPY for the same period of the previous year. This increase of 18.6 billion JPY was mainly due to an increase of 42.4 billion JPY in acquisition of intangible assets and an increase of 10.8 billion JPY in acquisition of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by a decrease of 27.5 billion JPY in acquisition of business (net of cash and cash equivalents acquired).

Net cash used in financing activities was 267.6 billion JPY for the current period compared to 658.4 billion JPY for the same period of the previous year. The decrease of 390.8 billion JPY was mainly due to a decrease in repayments of bonds and long-term loans of 414.2 billion JPY, partially offset by an increase in purchase of treasury shares of 24.4 billion JPY resulting from the share buybacks conducted in the current period.

(3) Management Policy, Management Environment and Management Issues

There was no significant change in management policy, management environment and management issues for the six-month period ended September 30, 2022.

Takeda's initiatives to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and Takeda's operations in Ukraine and Russia are as follows.

Takeda's Initiatives to Mitigate the Impact of COVID-19

Takeda's response to COVID-19 continues to focus on protecting the health and safety of our employees, our ability to ensure our medicines are available to patients who rely on them and playing our part to reduce transmission and support the communities where our employees live and work. While vaccines are becoming more broadly available, we continue to strictly adhere to local public health guidance across our geographies in addition to the internal protocols we have put in place, and monitor any potential impacts of the effects and evolution of COVID-19, including new variants, on our business activities.

Takeda is manufacturing NUVAXOVID Intramuscular Injection, a novel recombinant protein-based COVID-19 vaccine which was licensed, with manufacturing technologies transferred, from Novavax, at its Hikari facility and has been distributing it in Japan since May 2022. Also, Takeda will continue to provide distribution support in bringing an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, SPIKEVAX Intramuscular Injection, to Japan through its partnership with Moderna.

Takeda’s Operations in Ukraine and Russia

Our commitment to patients, regardless of where they live, and to our people is unwavering and is even more important in times of crisis. Takeda is making every effort to protect our colleagues in Ukraine and to continue to supply patients in Ukraine and in the region with much needed treatments.

Takeda discontinued activities in Russia that are not essential to maintaining the supply of medicines to patients and providing ongoing support to our employees. This includes suspending all new investments, suspending advertising and promotion, not initiating new clinical trials and stopping enrollment of new patients in ongoing clinical trials. Our focus only on essential activities is consistent with our values and ethical responsibility to our patients in Ukraine, Russia and the region who depend on our treatments. This commitment notwithstanding, we are adhering to all international sanctions imposed on Russia.

We will be increasing our humanitarian relief efforts, including monetary and medicine donations to benefit people affected by the conflict in Ukraine, and we will continue to assess new ways to provide support as we look to meet the needs of patients across the region.

In the six-month period ended September 30, 2022, revenue attributable to Russia/CIS represented 1.9% of Takeda’s total consolidated revenue of 1,974.8 billion, as indicated in the Revenue by Region in Ⅱ. Operating and Financial Review, 2. Analysis on Business Performance, Financial Position and Cash Flows, (1) Consolidated Financial Results (April 1 to September 30, 2022). There was no material financial impact on Takeda’s financial results for the current period resulting from the crisis in these countries. However, depending on the future status of the crisis, our results of operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected.

Takeda’s R&D team works closely with the commercial functions to maximize the value of marketed products and reflect commercial insights in its R&D strategies and portfolio.

Major progress on R&D events since April 2022 are listed as follows:

R&D pipeline

Oncology

In Oncology, Takeda endeavors to deliver novel medicines to patients with cancer worldwide through a commitment to breakthrough innovation and a passion for improving the lives of patients. Takeda focuses on three key areas in oncology: (1) building on its foundational expertise in hematologic malignancies through continued investment in lifecycle management programs for marketed products NINLARO, ADCETRIS, and ICLUSIG, as well as in pipeline assets in Multiple Myeloma, and other blood cancers; (2) further developing its portfolio in lung cancer with the marketed products ALUNBRIG, EXKIVITY, and development programs in targeted lung cancer populations; and (3) pursuing novel immuno-oncology targets and next-generation platforms (e.g., modakafusp alfa (TAK-573) and subasumstat (TAK-981)) harnessing the power of the innate immune system, internally and through external partnerships.

ADCETRIS / Generic name: brentuximab vedotin

–In May 2022, Takeda announced that it received an approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for a partial change in approved items of the manufacturing and marketing approval of ADCETRIS as a first-line treatment for CD30-positive Hodgkin lymphoma in pediatric patients.

–In May 2022, Takeda and Seagen Inc. announced the overall survival (OS) data from the Phase 3 ECHELON-1 clinical trial of an ADCETRIS plus chemotherapy combination. The data was presented in an oral session at the 59th American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and at the 27th European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meeting. Data from the ECHELON-1 trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS in adult patients with previously untreated Stage III or IV classical Hodgkin lymphoma treated with ADCETRIS plus doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (A+AVD) vs. doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD). With approximately six years median follow up (73 months), patients receiving A+AVD had a 41 percent reduction in the risk of death (hazard ratio [HR] 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.396 to 0.879), with an estimated OS rate (95% CI) of 93.9% (91.6, 95.5) at 6 years. The safety profile of ADCETRIS was consistent with previous studies, and no new safety signals were observed.

VECTIBIX / Generic name: panitumumab

–In June 2022, Takeda announced the data from the PARADIGM, a Phase 3 clinical trial of VECTIBIX in chemotherapy-naive Japanese patients with unresectable advanced recurrent colorectal cancer with wild-type RAS gene,was presented at the Plenary Session of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. PARADIGM is the first prospective trial to evaluate appropriate treatment options for metastatic colorectal cancer patients with wild-type RAS gene and left-side primary tumor (descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum). The results of the trial showed that the mFOLFOX6 + VECTIBIX combination provides a statistically significant improvement in overall survival (OS) over the mFOLFOX6 + bevacizumab combination in patients with a left-sided primary tumor or regardless of tumor locations (median OS for left-sided tumors: 37.9 vs. 34.3, HR=0.82 [95.798% CI: 0.68-0.99], p=0.031, overall median OS: 36.2

- 11 -

vs. 31.3, HR=0.84 [95% CI: 0.72-0.98], p=0.030). The safety profile of VECTIBIX administration in this study was similar to clinical study results previously published.

Rare Genetics & Hematology

In Rare Genetics & Hematology, Takeda focuses on several areas of high unmet medical need. In hereditary angioedema, Takeda aspires to transform the treatment paradigm, including through TAKHZYRO, with continued investment in lifecycle management programs including evaluating TAKHZYRO in Bradykinin-mediated angioedema with normal C1-inhibitor. In rare hematology, Takeda focuses on addressing today’s needs in the treatment of bleeding disorders, including through ADVATE and ADYNOVATE/ADYNOVI, as well as on the development of pipeline assets including TAK-755 for the treatment of immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) and congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP). In rare genetics and others, Takeda is developing treatments for lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), with a portfolio that includes commercial products such as ELAPRASE and REPLAGAL, and late-stage investigational therapies and pipeline candidates like pabinafusp alfa for Hunter Syndrome. In addition, Takeda aims to redefine the management of post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/disease with LIVTENCITY. We are also building differentiated gene therapy capabilities for the development and delivery of functional cures to patients with rare diseases.

TAKHZYRO / Generic name: lanadelumab

–In April 2022, Takeda announced that the Phase 3 SPRING study evaluating the safety profile and pharmacokinetics of TAKHZYRO in patients 2 to <12 years of age is complete and has met its primary objectives. The safety profile was consistent with that seen in the clinical program for patients 12 years of age and older; there were no serious adverse events and no dropouts due to adverse events. The study also successfully reached the secondary objective evaluating the clinical activity/outcome of TAKHZYRO in preventing hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks as well as characterizing the pharmacodynamics of TAKHZYRO in pediatric subjects 2 to <12 years of age.

–In July 2022, Takeda announced late-breaking data from the Phase 3 SPRING study presented at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Hybrid Congress 2022. The primary objective of the open-label, multicenter, Phase 3 (SPRING) study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of TAKHZYRO in patients aged 2 to <12 years with HAE. Clinical outcomes (prevention of HAE attacks) were measured as a secondary objective. In this study, HAE patients received a dose of 150 mg every 4 weeks in patients 2 to <6 years and every 2 weeks in patients aged 6 to <12 years. TAKHZYRO reduced the rate of HAE attacks in children by a mean of 94.8% compared to baseline, from 1.84 attacks per month to 0.08 attacks during treatment. The majority of patients (76.2%) were attack-free during the 52-week treatment period with an average of 99.5% attack-free days. No deaths or serious treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported during the study, and no patients withdrew from the study due to TEAEs. These results are consistent with earlier studies with adult and adolescent patients. These data will be submitted to global regulatory authorities to evaluate a potential label expansion for TAKHZYRO to include the younger patient population.

–In October 2022, Takeda announced that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for the potential expanded use of TAKHZYRO for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in pediatric patients 2 to <12 years of age. The FDA has granted priority review of the application. If approved, TAKHZYRO could potentially become the first treatment of its kind for this population. The sBLA is based on data from the SPRING study, the open-label Phase 3 trial for HAE patients under the age of 12.

LIVTENCITY / Generic name: maribavir

–In April 2022, Takeda announced that it presented four company-sponsored abstracts on LIVTENCITY at the Tandem Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the 32nd European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Lisbon, Portugal. The abstracts include an exploratory analysis of the Phase 3 SOLSTICE trial showing LIVTENCITY-treated patients with post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections/disease had reductions in hospitalizations (34.8%; p=0.021) and length of hospital stay (53.8%; p=0.029), compared to those treated with conventional antiviral therapies. In addition, a post-hoc, sub-group analysis of the Phase 3 SOLSTICE trial showed shorter time to first confirmed CMV DNA level less than the lower limit of quantification (<LLOQ) with LIVTENCITY, compared to conventional antiviral therapies, which was consistent with previously reported findings.

–In September 2022, Takeda announced the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended the approval of maribavir for the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection

and/or disease that are refractory (with or without resistance) to one or more prior therapies, including ganciclovir, valganciclovir, cidofovir or foscarnet in adult patients who have undergone a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or solid organ transplant (SOT). The European Commission (EC) will consider the CHMP positive opinion and decide upon potential marketing authorization in the coming months. If approved, maribavir would be the first inhibitor of CMV-specific UL97 protein kinase in the European Union (EU) for this indication. The positive opinion from the CHMP was based on the Phase 3 SOLSTICE trial, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of maribavir versus conventional antiviral therapies (one or more of ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet or cidofovir) for the treatment of patients with refractory CMV infection, with or without resistance.

ADYNOVATE/ADYNOVI / Generic name: antihemophilic factor (recombinant), PEGylated

–In June 2022, Takeda announced that it submitted a Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) of ADYNOVATE for a partial change in approved items of the manufacturing and marketing approval, which is for dosage and administration in prophylaxis use in Japan. The application is based primarily on the results of the global Phase 3 clinical trials, CONTINUATION study and PROPEL study.

FIRAZYR / Generic name: icatibant

–In August 2022, Takeda announced that it received an approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for a partial change in approved items of the manufacturing and marketing approval for FIRAZYR as a treatment for pediatric patients two years of age or older with hereditary angioedema (HAE). The approval is based primarily on a Japanese Phase 3 open-label trial and a Phase 3 open-label trial outside of Japan evaluating the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous administration of FIRAZYR in pediatric HAE patients aged between two and 18 years.

Development code: TAK-611

–In June 2022, Takeda announced that it has received Orphan Drug Designation from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MLHW) for its recombinant human arylsulfatase A (rhASA) TAK-611 for the expected indication of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD). Currently, there are no treatments indicated for MLD in Japan. TAK-611 is an rhASA for enzyme replacement therapy for MLD, and global Phase 2b studies and other studies are ongoing.

Neuroscience

In Neuroscience, Takeda is focusing its R&D investments on potentially transformative treatments for neurological and neuromuscular diseases of high unmet need, and building its pipeline through a combination of in-house expertise and partnerships. By harnessing advances in disease biology understanding, translational tools, and innovative modalities, Takeda is primarily focusing on rare neurology, in particular, on potential investigative therapies for sleep-wake disorders such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia with a franchise of orexin-2 receptor agonists (TAK-861, TAK-925, etc.), and rare epilepsies with soticlestat (TAK-935). Additionally, Takeda also makes targeted investments to investigate well-defined segments of neuromuscular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and movement disorders.

Development code: TAK-994

–In June 2022, Takeda decided not to proceed with further development activities of TAK-994 following an assessment of the benefit/risk profile. After a safety signal had emerged in Phase 2 studies of TAK-994 (TAK-994-1501 study and TAK-994-1504 study), in October 2021, Takeda had decided to stop both Phase 2 studies early.

Gastroenterology (GI)

In Gastroenterology, Takeda focuses on delivering innovative, life-changing therapeutics for patients with gastrointestinal and liver diseases. Takeda is maximizing the potential of our inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) franchise around ENTYVIO, including development of a subcutaneous formulation, a needle free device, and expanding into other indications such as active chronic pouchitis. Takeda is also expanding its position with GATTEX / REVESTIVE and ALOFISEL, which are in ongoing and planned Phase 3 trials to support further potential geographic expansion, including in the U.S. Furthermore, Takeda is progressing

a pipeline built through partnerships exploring opportunities in IBD, celiac disease, select liver diseases, and motility disorders. Fazirsiran (TAK-999) is an example of an addition through partnership and a potential first-in-class RNAi for alpha-1 antitrypsin-deficiency associated liver disease in late-stage development.

Development code: TAK-999 / Generic name: fazirsiran

–In June 2022, Takeda and Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that results from a Phase 2 clinical study (AROAAT-2002) of investigational fazirsiran for the treatment of liver disease associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) were published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and presented in an oral presentation at The International Liver Congress 2022 - The Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL). Fazirsiran is a potential first-in-class investigational RNA interference (RNAi) therapy designed to reduce the production of mutant alpha-1 antitrypsin protein (Z-AAT) as a potential treatment for the rare genetic liver disease associated with AATD. Fazirsiran was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) in July 2021 and Orphan Drug Designation in February 2018 for the treatment of AATD from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Plasma-Derived Therapies (PDT)

Takeda has created a dedicated PDT business unit with a focus to manage the business end-to-end, from plasma collection to manufacturing, R&D, and commercialization. In PDT, we aspire to develop life-saving plasma derived treatments which are essential for patients with a variety of rare and complex chronic diseases. The dedicated R&D organization in PDT is charged with maximizing the value of existing therapies, identifying new targeted therapies, and optimizing efficiencies of current product manufacturing. Near-term, our priority is focused on delivering value from our broad immunoglobulin portfolio (HYQVIA, CUVITRU, GAMMAGARD and GAMMAGARD S/D) through pursuit of new indications, geographic expansions, and enhanced patient experience through integrated healthcare technologies. In our hematology and specialty care portfolio, our priority is pursuing new indication and formulation development opportunities for PROTHROMPLEX (4F-PCC), FEIBA, CEPROTIN and ARALAST. Additionally, we are developing next generation immunoglobulin products with 20% fSCIg (TAK-881), IgG Low IgA (TAK-880) and pursuing other early stage opportunities (e.g. hypersialylated Immunoglobulin (hsIgG)) that would add to our diversified commercial portfolio of more than 20 therapeutic products distributed worldwide.

HYQVIA / Generic name: Immunoglobulin (IG) Infusion 10% (Human) w/ Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase

–In July 2022, Takeda announced that ADVANCE-1, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating HYQVIA for the maintenance treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), met its primary endpoint. The pivotal ADVANCE-1 clinical trial evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HYQVIA in 132 adult patients with CIDP who had been on a stable dosing regimen of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy for at least three months prior to infusion. Analysis of the primary endpoint shows that HYQVIA, when administered at the same dose and dosing interval as the patient’s previous IVIG, reduced CIDP relapse as compared to placebo [9.7% vs 31.4%, respectively; p-value = 0.0045], as measured by Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT). The majority of patients in the study received a four-week dosing regimen of HYQVIA. Of the 62 patients treated with HYQVIA, the majority of treatment-related adverse events were reported as mild or moderate. No new safety risks were reported with HYQVIA. The safety profile of HYQVIA in CIDP will be further supported by data from the ongoing ADVANCE-3 clinical trial, the longest extension study of its kind with up to six years of follow-up data on some participants. Upon full data analyses, Takeda intends to submit applications for HYQVIA to regulatory authorities in the United States and European Union in fiscal year 2022.

CUVITRU / Generic name: Immunoglobulin (IG) Infusion 20% (Human)

–In October 2022, Takeda announced that it submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for manufacturing and marketing approval of a subcutaneous injection of 20% human immunoglobulin for the expected indications of agammaglobulinemia and hypogammaglobulinemia. The application is based primarily on a Phase 3 trial in Japanese patients with primary immunodeficiency syndrome (PID) and two Phase 2/3 trials outside of Japan in patients with PID. In these trials, the subcutaneous injection of 20% human immunoglobulin demonstrated its efficacy and safety as a treatment for patients with agammaglobulinemia or hypogammaglobulinemia.

Interim results from the Phase 1/2 study in Japan were positive and consistent with previously reported clinical trial results. No serious adverse events were reported in the NUVAXOVID treatment group, and the vaccine candidate was well-tolerated. Additionally, studies conducted by Novavax, including Phase 1/2 studies conducted in Australia and the U.S. as well as a Phase 2 study conducted in South Africa, evaluated safety and efficacy of booster immunization. In these studies, subjects received a booster dose 6 months after primary immunization, and compared to pre-booster levels, a significant elevation of antibody titer was observed without major safety concerns.

–In May 2022, Takeda announced that NUVAXOVID Intramuscular Injection (NUVAXOVID) has been designated as “special vaccination” status in Japan for primary (first and second dosing) and booster (third dosing) immunization following the revision of laws and regulations for COVID-19 vaccines specified under the Preventive Vaccination Law. NUVAXOVID is stored at refrigerated temperature of 2-8℃, like many other medicines and vaccines, which enables transportation and storage with conventional vaccine supply chain.

Development code: TAK-003 / Generic name: Dengue tetravalent vaccine [live,attenuated]

–In June 2022, Takeda announced that TAK-003 demonstrated continued protection against dengue fever through four and a half years (54 months), with no important safety risks identified, in the pivotal Phase 3 Tetravalent Immunization against Dengue Efficacy Study (TIDES) trial, which was presented at the 8th Northern European Conference on Travel Medicine (NECTM8). Through four and a half years, TAK-003 demonstrated 84.1% vaccine efficacy (VE) (95% CI: 77.8, 88.6) against hospitalized dengue, with 85.9% VE (78.7, 90.7) in seropositive individuals and 79.3% VE (63.5, 88.2) in seronegative individuals. TAK-003 also demonstrated overall VE of 61.2% (95% CI: 56.0, 65.8) against virologically-confirmed dengue, with 64.2% VE (58.4, 69.2) in seropositive individuals and 53.5% VE (41.6, 62.9) in seronegative individuals. Observations of VE varied by serotype and remained consistent with previously reported results. TAK-003 was generally well tolerated, and there were no important safety risks identified. No evidence of disease enhancement was observed over the 54-month follow-up exploratory analysis.

–In August 2022, Takeda announced that its dengue vaccine, QDENGA*, was approved by the Indonesian National Agency for Drug and Food Control, Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM), for the prevention of dengue disease caused by any serotype in individuals six years to 45 years of age. QDENGA is the only dengue vaccine approved in Indonesia for use in individuals regardless of previous dengue exposure and without the need for pre-vaccination testing. The approval of QDENGA is based on results through three years after vaccination from the ongoing Phase 3 TIDES

trial.
*QDENGA is the approved brand name of TAK-003 in Indonesia.

–In October 2022, Takeda announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended the approval of Takeda’s dengue vaccine candidate, TAK-003, for the prevention of dengue disease caused by any serotype in individuals four years of age and older in Europe and in dengue-endemic countries participating in the parallel EU-M4all procedure. The final step in the path to approval in Europe is Marketing Authorization from the EMA, which is expected in the coming months. Regulatory reviews will also progress in dengue-endemic countries in Latin America and Asia. CHMP’s positive opinion was supported by results across five Phase 1, 2 and 3 trials with more than 28,000 children and adults. This includes four and a half years of follow-up data from the global, pivotal Phase 3 TIDES trial, consistent with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation to obtain three to five years of follow-up data after the completion of a primary dengue vaccination in order to most accurately assess safety and efficacy.

Building a sustainable research platform / Enhancing R&D collaboration

In addition to our concentrated efforts to increase our in-house R&D capabilities, external partnerships with third-party partners are a key component of our strategy for enhancing our R&D pipeline. Our strategy to expand and diversify our external partnerships allows us to take part in research of a wide variety of new products and increases the chances that we will be able to take part in a major research-related breakthrough.

–In October 2022, Takeda, Zedira GmbH and Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH announced a collaboration and licensing agreement to develop ZED1227/TAK-227, a Phase 2b investigational therapy for the treatment of celiac disease. TAK-227 is a potential first-in-class therapy designed to prevent the immune response to gluten in celiac disease, a serious autoimmune disease where the ingestion of gluten leads to inflammation and damage to the small intestine. There are currently no approved therapies for the treatment of celiac disease. TAK-227 is a selective, oral small molecule designed to inhibit tissue transglutaminase (TG2), an enzyme that generates immunogenic gluten peptide fragments upon the breakdown of gluten in the stomach and intestinal tissue. TAK-227 targets the dysregulated transglutaminase to prevent mucosal damage in the small intestine by preventing the body’s immune response to gluten, a disease process mediated by activation of gluten-specific T cells. Under the terms of the agreement, Takeda and Dr. Falk Pharma will conduct global clinical studies for TAK-227 in celiac disease. Takeda will receive an exclusive license to develop and commercialize TAK-227 in the United States and other territories outside of Europe, Canada, Australia and China.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Reporting Entity

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (the “Company”) is a public company incorporated in Japan. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Takeda”) is a global, values-based, R&D-driven biopharmaceutical company with a diverse portfolio, engaged primarily in the research, development, production and global commercialization of pharmaceutical products. Takeda’s principal pharmaceutical products include medicines in the following key business areas: gastroenterology (“GI”), rare diseases, Plasma-Derived Therapies (“PDT”) immunology, oncology, and neuroscience.

2.    Basis of Preparation

(1) Compliance

Takeda has prepared the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the information required in consolidated financial statements as of the end of a fiscal year. Therefore, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be used with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

(2) Approval of Financial Statements

Takeda’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2022 were approved on November 4, 2022 by Representative Director, President & Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Christophe Weber and Director & Chief Financial Officer Costa Saroukos.

(3) Functional Currency and Presentation Currency

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Japanese yen (“JPY”), which is the functional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in JPY has been rounded to the nearest million, except when otherwise indicated. In tables with rounded figures, sums may not add up due to rounding.

(4) Use of Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuous basis. Changes in these accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the same judgments and estimations as well as the accounting estimates and assumptions applied and described in Takeda’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic could potentially impact business activities within Takeda, the overall impact on Takeda’s condensed interim consolidated financial results has been limited to date. Therefore, the pandemic did not have a significant impact on accounting estimates and assumptions used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Takeda will continue to reassess estimates and assumptions as the situation evolves.

3.    Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies adopted for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those adopted for the consolidated financial statements of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Takeda calculated income tax expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2022, based on the estimated average annual effective tax rate.

- 30 -

4.    Operating Segment and Revenue Information

Takeda comprises a single operating segment and is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, marketing and out-licensing of pharmaceutical products. This is consistent with how the financial information is viewed in allocating resources, measuring performance, and forecasting future periods by the CEO who is Takeda’s Chief Operating Decision Maker.

11.    Financial Instruments

(1) Fair Value Measurements

Derivative and non-derivative financial instruments measured at fair value are categorized in the following three-tier fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs in making the measurements. Level 1 is defined as observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability. Level 2 is defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable. Level 3 is defined as unobservable inputs.

	JPY (millions)
As of September 30, 2022	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Assets:
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
Derivatives	—	38,167	—	38,167

- 38 -

(2) Valuation Techniques

The fair value of derivatives is measured based on Treasury management system valuation models or the Black-Scholes model, whose significant inputs are based on observable market data.

The fair value of the investment in convertible notes is measured using techniques such as the discounted cash flow and option pricing models.

The fair value of trade receivables, which are due from customers that Takeda has the option to factor, are measured based on the invoiced amount.

Equity investments and investments in debt instruments are not held for trading. If equity instruments or investments in debt instruments are quoted in an active market, the fair value is based on price quotations at the period-end-date. If equity instruments or investments in debt instruments are not quoted in an active market, the fair value is calculated utilizing an adjusted book value per share method or EBITDA multiples approach based on available information as of each period-end-date and comparable companies. The principal input that is not observable and utilized for the calculation of the fair value of equity instruments and investments in debt instruments classified as Level 3 is the EBITDA rate used for the EBITDA multiples approach, which ranges from 2.7 times to 13.1 times.

Financial assets and liabilities associated with contingent consideration arrangements are measured at fair value at the time of the divestiture or the acquisition date of business combination. When the contingent consideration arrangement meets the definition of a financial asset or liability, it is subsequently re-measured at fair value at each closing date. The determination of the fair value is based on models such as scenario-based methods and discounted cash flows. The key assumptions take into consideration the probability of meeting each performance target, forecasted revenue projections, and the discount factor. The financial assets associated with contingent consideration arrangements are recognized mainly in relation to the divestiture of XIIDRA. The financial liabilities associated with contingent consideration arrangements are discussed in Note (5) Financial liabilities associated with contingent consideration arrangements.

(3) Transfers between levels

Takeda recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. There were transfers from Level 3 to Level 1 recorded in the six-month period ended September 30, 2022. These transfers resulted from the investments in the companies whose shares were previously not listed on an equity or stock exchange and had no recent observable active trades in the shares.. During the six-month period ended September 30, 2022, the companies listed their equity shares on an exchange and are currently actively traded in the market. As the equity shares have a published price quotation in an active market, the fair value measurement was transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 on the fair value hierarchy during the six-month period ended September 30, 2022.There were no other transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six-month period ended September 30, 2022.

(4) Level 3 fair values

Takeda invests in equity instruments mainly for research collaboration. The following table shows a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances for Level 3 financial asset fair values for the period ended September 30, 2022. The disclosure related to Level 3 financial liabilities which are financial liabilities associated with contingent consideration arrangements are included in (5) Financial liabilities associated with contingent consideration arrangements. There are no significant changes in fair value during the changes in certain assumptions which influence the fair value measurement for Level 3 financial assets.
