Today, with health care systems increasingly under strain as life expectancies rise, populations age and innovative treatment options expand, our patient-centered and outcomes-focused approach is more relevant than ever. In our 2023 Annual Integrated Report, I’m pleased to share the progress we have made over the past year to deliver on our purpose of better health for people and a brighter future for the world. We are positioning ourselves for long-term sustainable growth, innovation and resilience while staying rooted in our core values of Integrity, Fairness, Honesty and Perseverance, brought to life through actions based on patient, trust, reputation and business, in that order. Innovating with Patients in Mind Public health care systems built on a fee- for-service model are facing significant financial and resource strain, and the restrictive drug pricing and reimbursement policies adopted in some countries in an effort to alleviate the pressure, raise concerns about the impact on R&D investment and innovation. I believe that health care systems need to urgently move toward value-based health care, an approach that pays for outcome and care quality and is set up around delivering results for patients. This is the true purpose of any health care system. At the same time, we are realistic about the scale of the challenge and recognize that a successful transition to a value-based system in the public market is unlikely in the near-term and would not be sustainable without an accompanying increase in government funding. That is why Takeda’s global growth strategy is centered on the discovery and development of innovative, life- transforming medicines and vaccines that have the potential to be best-in-class or first-in-class. At the same time, we are building resilience against external risks and making bold investments in data, digital and technology (DD&T) to upskill our people and drive value creation. CEO LETTER


 
Advancing Our Pipeline to Deliver Life- Transforming Treatments to Patients Our innovative R&D strategy is delivering. In 2022, we achieved a significant milestone as our dengue vaccine, QDENGA®  (Dengue tetravalent vaccine [live, attenuated]), was approved for use in the European Union (EU). This followed a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), recommending approval in the EU and in dengue-endemic countries participating in the parallel EU- Medicines-for-all (EU-M4all)1 procedure. QDENGA has now also been approved for use in Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, the U.K. and Thailand, with broad labels, for use regardless of serostatus. Other pipeline highlights include pediatric approval for hereditary angioedema (HAE) prophylaxis TAKHZYRO® (lanadelumab) in the U.S.; continued growth of gut-selective ENTYVIO® (vedolizumab); and approvals of EXKIVITY® (mobocertinib), for non-small cell lung cancer, and LIVTENCITYTM (maribavir), for post-transplant cytomegalovirus infection/disease, in key geographies. Together, these achievements will enable us to serve new patient populations, help prevent serious illness and reduce the treatment burden for many patients. Complementing our in-house R&D engine, we reinforced our long-term growth potential through business development to bring three highly innovative programs into our mid-to-late stage pipeline. We acquired, from Nimbus Therapeutics, a potentially best-in-class oral, selective allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 (TKY2) inhibitor that has possible application across a broad range of diseases, including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and systemic lupus erythematosus. This TYK2 inhibitor — now named TAK-279 — has the potential to offer the convenience of an oral therapy while addressing unmet medical needs. We also signed an exclusive licensing agreement to further develop and commercialize fruquintinib, a potential new treatment for refractory metastatic colorectal cancer, expanding our oncology portfolio. And we signed a licensing agreement to develop a first-in-class celiac disease therapy with TAK-227. Recognizing the Power of Our People Ultimately, it is our people who drive our success. I continue to be inspired by our approximately 50,000 Takeda employees who live our values every day. Results from our annual global Employee Experience Survey confirm that our employees overwhelmingly understand how their work impacts patients and that they are able to make decisions guided by our values. We are building an exceptional people experience that promotes well-being and performance, embraces flexibility and emphasizes the value of regular face-to- face interactions. We believe that executing this transformation well could be a competitive advantage. I am proud that our people policies and practices have been recognized by the Top Employers Institute, which named Takeda as a Global Top Employer for the sixth consecutive year, one of only 15 companies to achieve this recognition. A Steadfast Focus on the Future of Our Planet Taking care of patients goes beyond developing life-transforming treatments. It's also about being responsible and ethical while protecting our planet. We remain focused on achieving net-zero2 by 2035 for our own value chain and by 2040 across our entire value chain, including our suppliers and customers, in accordance with the Science Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi’s) Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Our initiatives include conserving natural resources and designing our products with sustainability principles in mind. Better Health, Brighter Future This is a very exciting time for Takeda. The continued strengthening of our pipeline is a direct reflection of our financial discipline and success in deleveraging, driven by our strong free cash flow. In fiscal year 2022, we delivered core revenue3 growth at constant exchange rate (CER) of +3.5%, driven by sales of our Growth & Launch Products.4 On a reported basis, revenue was 4,027.5 billion yen (USD 30.3 billion), with a year-over-year increase of +12.8%. And we delivered or exceeded our management guidance for core revenue, core operating profit and core EPS growth at CER. 1 The European Medicines Agency. Medicines for use outside the EU — EU-M4all. July 2020. Retrieved June 2023. 2 Takeda defines carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions in accordance with The Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the SBTi guidelines. SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard requires companies to reduce GHG emissions by more than 90% and use permanent carbon removal and storage technologies to counterbalance the remaining <10% of residual GHG emissions that cannot otherwise be eliminated. 3 Core revenue, core operating profit, core operating profit margin, core EPS, CER % Change, net debt, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow are non-IFRS measures, i.e., measures not calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. See the financial appendix at the end of Takeda's FY2022 investor presentation (available at takeda.com/investors/financial-results) for further information about Takeda’s Non-IFRS Measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. 4 Please refer to page 49 for definition of Growth and Launch Products. Takeda delivered core operating profit growth of +9.1% at CER and a robust margin of 29.5%. This strong performance was driven by a combination of momentum in our Growth & Launch Products, solid commercial execution across the portfolio and disciplined cost control. We also continued to deliver important cash flow (446.2 billion yen free cash flow in FY2022), allowing us to invest in strategic business development activities and returning value to shareholders, while paying down debt. Our success in rapid deleveraging resulting in net debt to adjusted EBITDA of 2.6x at the end of March 2023. Excluding the upfront cash payment for TAK-279, this ratio would have been 2.3x. We have updated our capital allocation policy as a reflection of our deleveraging progress and our new phase of investment for growth and shareholder returns, and in FY2023 we intend to raise the dividend to underscore confidence in our future growth. Looking ahead, I’m confident that we have the right strategy, values and people capability to deliver our vision of providing life-transforming treatments to patients and our purpose of better health for people and a brighter future for the world.

BETTER HEALTH FOR PEOPLE, BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THE WORLD W H I L E M U C H H A S changed since Takeda was established in 1781, our founding philosophy has remained constant: to serve patients with integrity in a way that also benefits society. By doing so, Takeda has expanded its business to become the global values-based, R&D- driven biopharmaceutical company it is today. We are guided by our values, which incorporate Integrity, Fairness, Honesty and Perseverance, with Integrity at the core. Our unwavering values are embedded in Takeda’s global growth strategy and drive our business decisions. We aim to make decisions that put the focus first on patients, trust and reputation, with the goal of building a sustainable and high- performing business in the long term. A little more than one year ago, I embarked on the journey to operationalize sustainability as an integral part of Takeda’s way of doing business. In this time, I’ve met and listened to many internal and external stakeholders. As I reflect on these conversations, I realize how much more we must accomplish to truly fulfill our purpose. Yet these conversations also instilled in me great confidence in the future for three reasons. First, creating a positive impact through our corporate values is in our heritage. This is a unique strength of Takeda. Second, our employees are giving life to these values. Each and every colleague I work with, A M E S S A G E F R O M Takako Ohyabu Chief Global Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Officer A b ou t G o ve rn a n ce P a ti e n t P e o p le P la n e t F in a n c ia ls G lo b a l C S R A p p e n d ix 5 2023 Annual Integrated Report


 
wherever they are in the organization, is a leader who makes values-based decisions and is empowered to do what’s right for patients. (Read more about our values- based culture on page 12.) Last, but not least, our corporate philosophy reflects stakeholder expectations, helping to ensure that sustainability is an integral part of our business strategy. This fuels not only our business growth but also our resilience. (Read more about our sustainability framework on page 14.) Take for example the development and introduction of our QDENGA vaccine. Dengue fever is among the most common mosquito-borne viral disease worldwide, endangering half of the world’s population. Climate change has accelerated its spread, especially among under-served communities with limited access to health care. For more than 70 years, Takeda has focused on vaccine development, most recently by being at the forefront of innovation in developing this potentially life-transforming vaccine, which expands dengue prevention options for communities in need of protection. We are prioritizing countries with the highest burden of disease and where barriers to access for vaccines are particularly complex. We have challenged and empowered our people to accelerate innovation, enabling us to not only develop the product, but also to ensure timely supply while fulfilling our commitment to our planet. At our Singen manufacturing site, data and digital solutions are further augmenting our ingenuity, and the adoption of new technologies is allowing us to reimagine ways of working that foster creativity, enabling lifelong learning and employee well-being. I am hopeful that this and other examples in our report will illustrate how we are anchoring sustainability at the heart of our business and underscore my confidence in our long-term growth and future contributions to global health. Achieving great things is not without challenge and risk. But we are not afraid of moving forward, constantly asking ourselves how we can make a positive difference in patients' and people's lives, guided by our values and feedback from our stakeholders. As we do, I will continue to encourage and support our people, who make our progress possible. Together, I have no doubt that not only Takeda, but also the society in which we operate, will continue to grow stronger and more resilient.

D E N G U E   — prevalent in more than 100 countries¹ — has had a significant impact on public health for decades. This viral disease often has the greatest impact on the most vulnerable populations with limited access to care, mostly in Asia and Latin America, although it can affect people worldwide. This includes people most likely to struggle with out-of-pocket medical payments who face difficulty making ends meet when out of work due to illness. What’s more, dengue is only getting worse as the world gets warmer.2 During the past 20 years, climate change and urbanization have expanded the geographic range of the mosquitoes that transmit this disease and increased the speed of its spread. This has led to an eightfold increase in dengue cases globally.3 Addressing the Burden Through Innovative Research The dengue virus, which has four serotypes, has challenged vaccine development for years. Takeda’s dengue research efforts stretch back more than a decade. Throughout, we have worked to address the complexity of the disease as well as its global prevalence. For example, Takeda’s pivotal trial for its dengue vaccine included populations across eight dengue-endemic countries in Asia and Latin America. O N E O F O U R C O N T R I B U T I O N S to building resilience to the impact of climate change is through cutting-edge R&D to help prevent climate-accelerated diseases such as dengue. (See the Planet section for more information on how we are taking urgent climate action.)

Preparing to Meet Global Demand To prepare for the scale up required for the global supply of QDENGA, Takeda has invested in digital-driven strategies and built two cutting-edge manufacturing facilities at our site in Singen, Germany. Additionally, we are converting an existing building on the site to manufacture the vaccine. To augment our expanding internal capabilities, we partner with external companies to support global supply as well. Digital technologies are helping improve product quality and productivity. For example, we are working with an academic research institute to develop an advanced AI system that can detect potential vial defects with a higher degree of accuracy at a faster speed than human inspection would allow. We are also leveraging our cutting-edge anti-counterfeiting technology to help ensure all products that enter the legitimate supply chain are verifiable. It also allows us to easily identify counterfeit vaccines, further supporting vaccine confidence and population uptake. To support the goal of providing seamless and equitable supply of vaccines once the vials leave our site, we have invested in creating a local network of in-country distributors. Progressing Toward Global Availability Takeda was invited by the CHMP of the EMA to participate in the first-ever parallel assessment of a product for use in the EU and for countries outside the EU. In October 2022, the CHMP issued a positive opinion for the EU and dengue- endemic countries that took part in the EU-M4all procedure. In December 2022, the European Commission (EC) approved QDENGA for use in the EU. EC approval will be taken into account by the EU- M4all countries as they consider their own regulatory reviews. In 2023, we received approvals in multiple dengue-endemic countries. We believe that these approvals are just the beginning in our effort to provide a new prevention tool to a broad population and may substantially impact the spread of dengue. TA K E D A H A S B E E N helping to prevent serious diseases through vaccine development for more than 70 years through our efforts. In August 2022, Takeda succeeded in securing its first approval for a new dengue vaccine, QDENGA, in Indonesia. QDENGA is the only dengue vaccine approved to help protect people against dengue regardless of previous dengue exposure and without pre-vaccination testing — a previously unmet need in dengue prevention. “Through large, diverse trials, we focused on demonstrating the favorable safety and efficacy profile of QDENGA and that it can be used and trusted by the communities most in need of protection,” said Derek Wallace, vice president and head of Global Dengue Program. “We also invested in four and a half years of follow- up, in line with World Health Organization recommendations, to demonstrate its long-term impact on symptoms and hospitalizations, as well as safety.” Learn how we are working to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions at our manufacturing sites in the Planet section. A b ou t G o ve rn a n ce P a ti e n t P e o p le P la n e t F in a n c ia ls G lo b a l C S R A p p e n d ix 8 2023 Annual Integrated Report T H E I M PA C T O F D E N G U E • Dengue is a rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease that poses a risk to half of the world’s population.4 • Nearly 90% of estimated dengue burden is in middle-income countries5 where barriers to care are particularly complex. • Each year, there are an estimated 390 million dengue cases worldwide.6 • Up to 80% of infections are asymptomatic. Symptoms can vary greatly, ranging from mild, undifferentiated fever, to flu-like symptoms and joint and muscle pains. Although uncommon, severe cases can lead to organ impairment and/ or plasma leakage, which may lead to serious complications including death.7 • There are approximately 20,000 to 25,000 deaths globally, mainly among children, due to the virus.8 • Hospital systems can quickly become overwhelmed during dengue outbreaks, which can have repercussions on the care of non-dengue infected patients.


 
Continuing the Journey The story of QDENGA is step one. To comprehensively mitigate the effects of mosquito-borne diseases, we will continue to collaborate with local partners to help strengthen health systems and supply chains, help create new solutions to reduce mosquito breeding and invest in public health education. “Our efforts to improve public health and reduce the economic burden of dengue on health systems and individuals are just beginning,” said Alberta Di Pasquale, head of Vaccines Medical Affairs, Growth and Emerging Markets Business Unit. “We are committed to serving the most vulnerable communities at risk of dengue through our vaccine and our efforts to support health system strengthening, to help ensure no one is left behind.” Paving the Way for Broad and Equitable Access We are working with diverse stakeholders, including governments, health care providers and other trusted local and international stakeholders to accelerate access to QDENGA. Together, we are prioritizing countries with the highest burden of dengue — mainly in Latin America and Asia. We are first launching in private, endemic and travel markets, pricing the vaccine comparable or lower-than-average compared to the price of other innovative vaccines. Our pricing for QDENGA will be determined on a country-by-country basis using factors such as gross domestic product, out-of-pocket health expenditure, national policies covering vaccinations and available health care resources. We will also support initiatives at the national, provincial and individual levels, including exploring private payer and innovative financing options, as well as value-based contracting. Over time, our aim is to make the vaccine as accessible as possible through National Immunization Programs, which are government-funded programs that typically provide free vaccination to eligible participants. We are also developing educational materials to help health care providers increase awareness of the benefits of vaccination and investing in digital education tools for consumers such as KnowDengue.com.

AT TA K E DA , we describe ourselves as having a “values-based” culture. This means that in addition to complying with all applicable laws and regulations, it is essential for us to make decisions and take actions that are purposeful and meet the highest ethical and moral standards at all times. We re-enforce our values to shape our culture through various mechanisms and learning programs, from new employee orientation to practical, ethical decision- making tools and beyond. Examples include: • Code of Conduct, which encourages personal accountability of our people through a principles-based approach, guiding their actions under a wide range of circumstances. It empowers us to confidently make decisions that are consistent with our values and helps ensure our commitment to maintaining the highest ethical standards at all times. • Global Induction Forum, which is hosted twice a year by our CEO with members of the Takeda Executive Team, offers new senior leaders around the world a unique opportunity to learn about Takeda’s rich heritage, values and vision. In keeping with our patient focus, leaders at the latest Forum had an opportunity to meet with a patient virtually and took deep dives into our strategy, global business, values-based decision-making and leadership behaviors. • Values Journey Curriculum, which lays out global expectations for all employees, helping move them along a journey from basic awareness of our values when they join, to understanding what our values mean, to practical application so they can confidently apply these values every day and become role models for others. • Takeda Values Ambassadors, who work with our ethics and compliance officers to help our employees bring our values to life. To date, more than 1,000 Takeda people in more than 60 countries have volunteered or been nominated to serve as role models for Takeda’s values. Their colleagues can turn to them with concerns or questions. Coming together as a global community, Values Ambassadors share ideas and experiences through internal social media tools, meetings and global events. • Takeda’s speak-up culture initiatives and campaigns aim to create a safe place for employees to raise concerns about potential misconduct and any actions that are not aligned with our values, while also offering protection against retaliation. Concerns can be raised through various internal mechanisms, including the Takeda Ethics Line. In fiscal year 2022, we launched a refreshed speak-up campaign to empower our people by raising awareness of why, when and how to voice a concern and how to respond when someone speaks up. The campaign went beyond simply voicing concerns, to encourage speaking up for our values and creating a culture of psychological safety more broadly.

As they do, we continue to lead through our values-based approach to help ensure we remain true to the highest standards of ethics and integrity. One way is through Takeda’s Responsible Use of Science and Technology (TRUST) team. The TRUST team translates bioethics and technological ethics into our responsible innovation approach, which guides the day- to-day activities of each employee. Through an enterprise-wide hack-a-thon,1 the team developed employee-owned foundational principles and various learning resources that employees can use. In 2022, together with the Takeda Ethics Advisory Council, the TRUST team created and published Takeda’s Position Papers on Data Sharing and Reuse of Health Data and the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). These principles provide foundational guidance to R&D, OUR VALUES IN ACTION commercial and patient services teams as they develop and utilize health data and AI in their products and services. Additionally, as the use of advanced analytics and AI continues to accelerate, the TRUST team partnered with our Cyber Digital Trust team to issue guidance on the use of large language models such as ChatGPT. In 2022, the Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab selected a proposal from the TRUST team that addresses the need for auditing methodologies for AI within the life sciences sector. With this research award, Takeda will leverage its expertise to design an end-to-end AI audit process for our business and the broader life sciences industry.2 Additionally, within our governance structure, we have integrated our Global Privacy Office into our Global Ethics & Compliance organization to responsibly accelerate Takeda’s digital ambition. 1 Hack-a-thon is an event in which people gather and solve a problem in a collaborative and rapid way. 2 Takeda elected not to receive a monetary award.

SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK AND METRICS I N F O R M E D B Y an ESG materiality assessment of nonfinancial issues strategically important to our company and stakeholders, we developed our corporate philosophy imperatives (Patient, People and Planet), which identify where Takeda must invest to deliver on our vision and purpose. In fiscal year 2022, we engaged with external stakeholders, including investors, on our imperatives. Based on the feedback, we evolved them to create a simplified framework and sustainability focus areas. We measure our progress toward our corporate philosophy imperatives and sustainability focus areas through our corporate philosophy metrics. We developed these metrics with employees from across the company in a bottom-up approach and provide employees with frequent progress updates in our internal metrics dashboard. By doing so, we are creating ownership among all employees in all parts of our operations. These metrics also help hold us accountable for delivering sustainable growth and building trust with our external stakeholders.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Risk management helps protect the company’s people, assets and reputation while supporting Takeda’s long-term strategy for growth and success. The overall ERM process is the responsibility of the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer, with oversight from the Board of Directors. Principal enterprise risks and their mitigation effectiveness are approved by the Risk, Ethics and Compliance Committee (RECC) and Board of Directors on an annual basis. In addition to the continuous day-to-day assessment and mitigation of risk, which we expect from all our leaders, we also conduct an annual enterprise risk assessment process. It is designed to generate a holistic view of risks for the company and drive a culture of risk-based decision-making. Each relevant functional area within the business is responsible for managing its key risks and responses to them. ETHICAL GOVERNANCE We incorporate our values into our risk management methodology. It identifies and assesses the company’s risks, mapped against our Patient-Trust-Reputation- Business impact scale and five-year likelihood scale, to create an enterprise risk heatmap. Taxation Takeda is committed to responsible corporate citizenship; we comply with the tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we do business, and we engage in open and transparent dialogue with relevant tax authorities. As stated in our Position on Taxation, Takeda supports the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting initiative concerning international tax reform and opposes the use of artificial tax arrangements that do not have sufficient business or economic substance. Our values provide a foundation for policies and governance, which support our compliance with tax laws and regulations where we operate and require us to identify and mitigate material tax risks. Human Rights We are committed to respecting and promoting internationally recognized human rights within every aspect of our business, across our supply chain and in the communities where we operate. We expect the same from suppliers and third parties operating on our behalf. We do this in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Bill of Human Rights, comprised of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights, and Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Labour Organization Core Labor Conventions. In fiscal year 2021, we conducted a human rights impact assessment in which we identified our most salient human rights impacts. Our efforts to address them are referenced throughout this report.

We are developing and advancing our pipeline through expert R&D capabilities within our laboratories and external partnerships. We also collaborate with patient communities to address health equity and access challenges. We recognize that delivering life- transforming medicines and vaccines with valued health benefits requires more than breakthrough innovation. No treatment or vaccine can reach those in need without trained and motivated health workers, well- maintained technology and infrastructure, a reliable supply chain and policies that support sustainable and equitable access. We also build resiliency into our global supply chain to support the goal of uninterrupted supply of our products. Among our strategies, Takeda implements a dual-source/multi-source approach for W H I L E O U R P R O D U C T S A R E G L O B A L , we act locally.

PUTTING PATIENTS FIRST the materials and active pharmaceutical ingredients required to manufacture our products. We also consider geopolitical risks in our sourcing approach. Takeda implements robust strategies to facilitate access and supports policies that foster value-based health care that can help deliver greater benefits to patients and society. We advocate for creating ecosystems that bolster equitable patient access to treatments and reward medical innovation fairly, based on proven clinical and societal value. As a part of our strategy to provide timely and broad access to our products worldwide, including in underserved communities with evolving health systems, we follow a tiered pricing approach. This helps us ensure that local prices are based on a country’s specific level of economic development and the maturity of its health system. (Read more about our pricing approach in the QDENGA story on page 7.) We also offer patient assistance programs to provide medicines to patients who may be unable to afford the treatments they need. Delivering on our ambition to facilitate access requires a holistic and collaborative approach. Together with Duke University, we have developed an Access to Health Framework Guidebook that enables collective measurement and action through continuous feedback and engagement.

S P O T L I G H T DELIVERING VALUE VEIN-TO-VEIN WITH OUR PLASMA-DERIVED THERAPIES 23 P L A S M A - D E R I V E D therapies (PDTs) are critical life-transforming medicines that people with rare and complex chronic diseases around the world rely on every day. For many, these therapies represent their only effective treatment option.1 Today, Takeda supplies more than 20 plasma medicines to patients in more than 80 countries and regions. While we currently offer one of the broadest portfolios of PDTs, we aim to do much more — for the patients we serve today and for those who can benefit from our therapies in the future. Core to our approach is applying patient and caregiver insights and novel technologies to bring forward next- generation products, new formulations, new indications and new solutions that can ease the burden of disease and treatment. In fiscal year 2022, we continued to make progress toward this goal. We reported positive data from our Phase III clinical trial for HYQVIA® (Immunoglobulin (IG) Infusion 10% (Human) with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase) in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, a debilitating neurological disorder that targets the body’s nerves, and submitted applications for registration in the U.S. and EU. HYQVIA is the only immunoglobulin therapy that can be administered subcutaneously at home every three to four weeks. We also continued to advance the next generation of PDTs by in-licensing an investigational hypersalivated immunoglobulin TAK-441, which has the potential to significantly reduce the volume of medicine required to treat autoimmune indications. 1 Wasserman R, et al. Immunotherapy 2017; 9(12):1035–1050. M A I N TA I N I N G C O N T I N U I T Y O F PAT I E N T S U P P LY When the supply of our PDTs is constrained, we follow our values, prioritizing patients already on therapy who require continuity of care. We do this ahead of pursuing new business opportunities. We have met every planned commitment to patients on our plasma therapies throughout and since the pandemic despite significant impact on plasma donations. See the Planet section to learn how we are using fewer resources to produce more PDTs.

pandemic, we met this goal one year early. Our commitment to long-term sustainable growth in an area of high unmet patient need continues. We’ve also begun construction of a $300 million brownfield1 manufacturing site in Belgium. Additionally, we are planning a new global plasma manufacturing facility in Japan, expected to be operational by 2030. We are also driving transformational changes through data, digital and technological disruption. Use of data plays a key role in attracting more plasma donors and helping ensure they have the best possible donation experience across our 230+ BioLife donation centers. Our goal is to increase the number of plasma donors who walk through our doors and encourage them to donate regularly. For example, we use AI tools to optimize staffing and maximize appointment scheduling to help ensure every donor can be attended to promptly upon arrival. This eliminates the need for waiting rooms and better uses available space. “Transformation across our entire end-to- end operations is making us bigger, better and faster — good news for donors, patients and our business,” said Rob de With, head of Strategy & Program Execution, Plasma- Derived Therapies Business Unit. “And our patient-led innovation means therapies are just the beginning. Our aspiration is to leverage cutting-edge technology to create a fully integrated ecosystem of support that helps patients manage all aspects of their disease throughout their lives.” Donor and plasma screening, virus inactivation and removal and testing are crucial steps in the overall production process that can take up to 12 months1, 2 Plasma collection 3 months 6 months 9 months 12 months 1 A brownfield is a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant. 2 PPTA.

DELIVERING INNOVATIVE LIFE-TRANSFORMING MEDICINES AND VACCINES 25 O U R R E S E A R C H E R S translate science into life-transforming medicines and vaccines for people around the world facing serious, debilitating diseases. In addition to our own research, we collaborate with world-class partners to advance cutting-edge science wherever it originates, helping us build a modality- diverse and innovative pipeline. Developing Potential Treatment for a Devastating Diagnosis Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) is an ultra-rare sub-type of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a rare, chronic and debilitating blood clotting disorder caused by a deficiency in an enzyme known as ADAMTS13 protease.1 TTP can lead to life-threatening conditions, including acute episodes characterized by a reduction in platelets, hemolytic anemia and ischemic organ damage. The current standard of care for cTTP does not always fully address the condition and for many, health outcomes remain sub-optimal. O U R P I P E L I N E C O N TA I N S approximately 40 new molecular entities, many with the potential to become life-transforming treatments in the next decade. You can learn more about our pipeline here. 1 ADAMTS13 is a constitutively active enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of a large protein involved in blood clotting into smaller multimers, reducing their thrombogenic potential.

We are working to change this with TAK-755 (apadamtase alfa/cinaxadamtase alf),1 the first and only recombinant ADAMTS13 replacement investigational therapy targeting the underlying cause of TTP. Results from a pre-planned interim analysis of a pivotal Phase III study support the efficacy and safety of TAK-755 as a treatment for cTTP. If approved, it has the potential to transform TTP treatment. Recognizing the potential TAK-755 could have on patient health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted the investigational molecule both Orphan Drug and Fast Track Designation for the treatment and prevention of TTP including its congenital, acquired idiopathic and secondary forms. “ The development of recombinant ADAMTS13 (TAK-755) will likely have immediate and long-term benefits for patients. The increased ease of administration, paired with the ability to achieve sustained improvements in the ADAMTS13 activity, also has the potential to treat and prevent numerous long-term vascular complications of TTP that we are just now beginning to recognize.” — D R .

PROVIDING HEALTH BENEFITS VALUED BY PATIENTS AND SOCIETY H E A LT H C A R E S Y S T E M S face increasingly limited and fixed budgets for the purchase of health care treatments and services, while demand is ever increasing. This requires that we demonstrate the value of our medicines in new and innovative ways. We work early, before product authorization, with patient organizations, payers and other stakeholders to determine what meaningful and measurable value looks like to them. Together, we identify current gaps and opportunities for improved outcomes in terms of care, budget or system efficiencies. We then develop metrics to measure the outcome — or “value” — that our products deliver when the right patient is treated at the right time. Value-based payments based on the achievement of these metrics form the basis of what we call value-based health care. Outcomes that Matter For patients living with the rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition known as hereditary angioedema (HAE), life can often be difficult. HAE causes recurrent attacks of severe swelling in various parts of the body. If untreated, attacks can last for three days, and can occur multiple times a month. When they do, they often interrupt work, caregiving and school. TAKHZYRO helps patients better manage HAE and prevents attacks. As the first approved monoclonal antibody to treat patients with types I and II HAE, it marks a significant advance over the existing standard of care. To achieve broader and more timely access to this innovative and effective treatment, we designed a scalable framework of value-based contracting, which can be used in multiple health delivery systems around the world. The framework allows us to engage with local stakeholders to address uncertainties and create shared understanding around value at a local level. For example, based on local factors, some countries may find increasing access to new patient segments most meaningful. Others may value data showing that a high percentage of patients can maintain efficacy even at less-frequent dosing after the first six months of treatment. Using a value-based approach, Takeda has achieved broad access for TAKHZYRO in 29 countries in just over three years post-launch. Learn more about why Takeda believes health systems must shift away from the traditional fee-for- service approach toward a value-based health care model: Value-based Health Care Position Statement. T R A N S F O R M I N G H E A LT H S Y S T E M S Takeda is working to accelerate change through the World Economic Forum’s Global Coalition for Value in Healthcare. In January 2023, the Coalition launched its latest report, “The Moment of Truth for Healthcare Spending: How Payment Models Can Transform Healthcare Systems.” Takeda contributed to the publication highlighting outcomes that matter for patients living with HAE and the Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O). We co-founded H2O, a public-private consortium across the EU, which is striving to improve the quality and sustainability of care based on outcomes data provided by patients.

ACCELERATING GLOBAL, EQUITABLE ACCESS 28 A L L P E O P L E should have access to quality health care. However, this is not the case for many. While the underlying factors that lead to this reality are complex, deep- rooted and differ by region, we believe that by partnering with diverse stakeholders we can help address barriers to access and strengthen health systems globally. A W O R L D W I T H Z E R O H E A LT H G A P S We were among the first of 39 companies to sign the Global Health Equity Network Zero Health Gaps Pledge at the 2023 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. To help ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible, Takeda’s Center for Health Equity and Patient Affairs works with our global network of teams and partners to embed health equity principles into every aspect of our business. It also builds trust with local partners, allowing us to better understand the underlying causes of health inequities and how we can co-create solutions with communities to drive sustainable change.

Advocating for Equitable Access A rare disease is one that affects less than 1 in 2,000 people,1 yet, around the world, more than 300 million patients, families, friends and caregivers are impacted by one.2 A common hurdle for these patients and families is the lengthy diagnostic journey and lack of reimbursement for medicines to treat many rare diseases. In the Czech Republic, we supported local patient advocacy groups and professional societies to help raise awareness of these challenges through roundtables, whitepapers and educational events. This, along with the efforts of others, contributed to the passage of legislation that took effect in 2022 providing a pathway for reimbursement of medicines for rare diseases. In addition, patient advocacy groups now have a seat at the table for reimbursement decisions as part of an advisory committee at the Czech Ministry of Health. In Japan, we are working with patient advocacy groups, medical organizations and our sector peers to drive discussion around regional disparities in access to genomic medicines to treat cancer. In fiscal year 2022, we jointly published a discussion paper Towards the Tomorrow of Cancer Genomic Medicine (Japanese only), which shines a light on the disparities and possible solutions. In addition, we collaborated with the Health and Global Policy Institute to issue a policy proposal3 to integrate personalized cancer medicine into the medical system. In fiscal year 2023, we will continue to bring stakeholders together as well as support the collection and analysis of real-world data to help develop a pathway for patient-oriented equitable cancer care in Japan. B U I L D I N G C O M M U N I T Y- L E V E L PA R T N E R S H I P S Since 2017, Takeda has worked with Seeding Labs, a non-profit that supports scientists in developing countries. By sharing knowledge, clinical expertise and medical and scientific equipment, we are helping advance the diagnostic and clinical trials capabilities of community-based research institutions. Together, we have facilitated the donation of more than 2,000 pieces of equipment from Takeda labs and supported training at 98 institutions in 39 countries. One of these is the Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE) in the Dominican Republic. With Takeda and Seeding Labs’ support, UNIBE established the Institute of Tropical Medicine and Global Health and UNIBE Diagnostic Center. The first-of-its-kind in the country, the center has trained nearly 30 lab personnel in molecular testing techniques and more than 100 health community workers on disease education and diagnosis from April 2020 through December 2021. As of the end of fiscal year 2022, it performed approximately 55,000 diagnostic tests in a community that previously had limited access to such services. “It has been an incredible partnership,” said Dr. Robert Paulino-Ramirez, principal investigator at the institute. “With the resources we now have, we are able to address health inequities in the Dominican Republic and help reduce barriers to scientific discovery and delivery.” 1 EURODIS.

Supporting Patients Throughout Their Lives Providing patients with equitable access to health care is not a one-step process but requires ongoing support, from awareness and diagnosis to treatment and sustained care. This is especially true for patients facing the threat of cancer in under- resourced settings. In the Philippines, we work closely with the Philippine Cancer Society to provide support and financial assistance to Hodgkin lymphoma patients, starting with CD30 testing. As the first step to detect rarer forms of the condition, CD30 testing is usually paid for out of pocket in the Philippines. In a country with a per capita income of $3,460,1 this can be an insurmountable barrier for many. Over the past two years, we have made testing available to 62 patients from 24 hospitals. Once diagnosed through testing, patients face similar challenges paying for treatments, many of which are not covered under national insurance schemes. Through Takeda’s Patient Assistance Program (PAP) in the Philippines, we provide access to our oncology medicines to eligible patients. This allows them to complete the full course of treatment at the intervals prescribed by their physician. Since 2017, more than 300 Filipino patients have been able to access and complete their course of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma through our PAP. Jho-Ann Pulgo was one of them. With limited savings, she could only afford one of the 16 rounds of treatment. Through our PAP, she was able to complete treatment and focus on getting better. “Being able to have more time with my family, especially my four young nieces, and watching them grow up, is more than I dreamed of,” she says. Moving forward, we plan to broaden our partnership approach in the Philippines by establishing a Blueprint for Innovative Access program, which is based on a model we first piloted in Kenya.

CREATING AN EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE EXPERIENCE 32 T H E K E Y to harnessing the power of our people is actively and continuously listening to them. Through employee surveys, town halls, employee resource groups and team discussions, our people take an active role in shaping our workplace. Their engagement and feedback on how we can better support them leads to continuous improvements and enables us to carry out our purpose for patients. In 2022, we received feedback from our people through our annual Employee Experience Survey. While we saw improvement in many areas, including diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) and manager support, we also heard that we could do more in several areas, including: • Increasing opportunities and tools to help employees build successful careers at Takeda. • Helping employees achieve better alignment between work and life. • Investing in more efforts to help employees feel a stronger sense of belonging. Becoming More Agile To deliver on our corporate purpose, employees must be able to get the information they need, make decisions and execute priorities quickly without undue complexity. Based on the Employee Experience Survey, we learned this was a priority for improvement across Takeda. In fiscal year 2022 and continuing in 2023, we are simplifying systems, redesigning processes and introducing new tools — from new technology solutions that enhance how we collaborate across the globe, to a streamlined procurement process to reduce cycle time. We also invest in building the skills of our people leaders to foster agility. While we are not done yet, already our employees are telling us we are on the right track with an eight-point increase in our 2022 Employee Experience Survey score for agility. TA K I N G P R I D E I N O U R P U R P O S E Results from our 2022 Employee Experience Survey show increasing employee engagement — 87% completed the survey, up from 82% in 2021.

33 T O P E R F O R M and lead well, we must be well. Well-being and lifelong learning create a virtuous cycle, unleashing people’s creativity, productivity and an increased sense of purpose. At Takeda, we are focused on creating a culture that fosters both well-being and lifelong learning in all areas of our business. Prioritizing Employee Well-being We believe it is vital to take care of ourselves and each other so we can continue to create better health for people and a brighter future for the world. Based on insights from our 2021 and 2022 Employee Experience Surveys, we introduced Well-Being@Takeda, a new approach focused on improving our people’s emotional, physical, social and financial well-being. EMPOWERING OUR PEOPLE TO THRIVE AND GROW To kick off our efforts, we introduced the global platform, Thrive, to everyone at Takeda. This online platform embeds well- being directly into people’s daily lives. It offers content such as “micro steps” — too- small-to-fail behavior change goals that can be personalized. Another tool the platform offers is how to incorporate "resets” — 60-90 second mindfulness and stretch breaks designed to reduce cumulative stress. The platform is available to our employees in 10 languages and with closed captions to increase accessibility. Given our diverse employee base, we know that challenges to well-being can be different based on the employees’ role, location and personal situation. To create an inclusive workplace on a global scale, we strive to ensure that all employees have access to our global well-being programs and that those programs can be customized to accommodate the diverse needs of our people — no matter where, when or how they work.

Based on our 2022 Employee Experience Survey results, we know we can do more to provide equitable access to tools such as Thrive for employees at our manufacturing sites and BioLife donation centers who have less access in their workdays to email and digital tools. Many also work different hours than our office-based hybrid and remote staff. To better understand employee needs and how to deliver tools to them most effectively, we invited leaders from Thrive to visit our manufacturing operations in Covington, Georgia. During the visit, they met with every shift of worker, introduced them to Thrive and listened to their feedback. Our people told us they need additional resources to help manage stress, improve sleep and incorporate more healthy movements into their day. We also discussed ways to deliver content in new ways, such as podcasts, so people can enjoy and listen on their commute to and from work. In 2023, we will work to develop these additional resources. P R O M O T I N G E M P L OY E E S A F E T Y A safe and healthy workplace is foundational for employee well-being. Our manufacturing sites share a strong safety culture focused on preventing serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs). We complete SIF risk assessments annually at our manufacturing sites worldwide to proactively identify areas that can be strengthened. Each quarter, we share lessons learned across our manufacturing network and discuss actions to mitigate re- occurrence of any identified safety events. Our manufacturing leadership teams also participate in safety leadership coaching to help prevent SIFs and develop site-level improvements. For more information on employee safety, see our online sustainability disclosures.

INVESTING IN LIFELONG LEARNING 35 R O O T E D I N O U R corporate philosophy, we aspire to foster an environment that encourages a growth mindset, enabling our people to thrive inside and outside of Takeda through lifelong learning. Our approach to personal and professional development is owned by the individual and supported by our people leaders. We empower this growth through opportunities that enable individuals to learn skills they need for today and tomorrow informally, in the flow of work and formally through programs and courses. We also encourage people to actively contribute to the development of others. In 2022, we introduced Bloom. It is our cornerstone digital solution to help enable a culture where our people can continuously learn and discover opportunities for personal growth and career development. Bloom is an online learning experience platform, which provides a single-entry point for learning that is “just enough, just in time and just for me.” Within this platform, our people can: • Select topics relevant to them. • Explore everyday learning opportunities as well as learning experiences and resources. • Share what they have learned with one another to create a community of learners. Feedback from our people has led to new approaches to how we offer learning resources. From web-based courses and mentoring to short articles on targeted topics and job shadowing, we are committed to making resources available to our people in ways that best meet their needs. “ Since I have a family and three kids, my family time is my priority. I try to find spare time in between tasks and use that time to learn.” – M A S AYA S U T E R A J I M A Lead, Financial Planning and Analysis, PDT Business Unit A b o u t G o ve rn a n ce P a ti e n t P eo p le P la n e t F in a n c ia ls G lo b a l C S R A p p e n d ix 2023 Annual Integrated Report


 
ACCELERATING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION A C R O S S TA K E DA , we embrace and celebrate diversity and strive to give patients and our people equitable access to opportunities so they can achieve their full potential. We take a values-based approach to inclusive patient experiences, inclusive work environments, workforce diversity and sustainable societal impact. Inclusive Patient Experience For more information, see the Patient section Workforce Diversity Sustainable Societal Impact For more information, see the CSR section Inclusive Work Environment O U R D E I C O M M I T M E N T S Our culture is enhanced by the diversity of our people who represent more than 80 countries and regions and a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. We continue to build a workforce as diverse as the communities we serve and are committed to providing compensation opportunities that are competitive and equitable. We aspire to achieve 50% diverse gender representation at our senior-most levels — including women and non-binary individuals — by fiscal year 2027. In fiscal year 2022, we achieved 42% (which marked a two percent increase from the previous year). Ensuring we have a diverse slate of qualified candidates for all senior positions is one of many actions we are taking.

E M B R A C I N G A N I N C L U S I V E C U LT U R E I N J A PA N Someone's Day is an innovative app we are leveraging to help build inclusion through understanding the experiences of others. Developed by our people in Japan, Someone’s Day was inspired by an app Takeda launched called In Their Shoes that helps health care providers and other stakeholders better understand what it is like to live with inflammatory bowel disease. Someone’s Day embeds users into three immersive real-life experiences — parenting, providing elder care and supporting ill family members. Each demonstrates the pressures many of us face. The use of the app is coupled with team discussion as part of a two-week program. In just a few months since launch, more than 500 people participated in Someone's Day, of which 94% responded positively about their experience in a post-program survey. “Someone’s Day is a powerful experience that helps users understand challenges that many colleagues face, which may be different than your own,” said Tsuyoshi Yurita, head of Rare Hematology Franchise, Japan Pharma Business Unit. “I do not have children myself, but, with this app, I received a message notifying me of an emergency with ‘my child’ during a meeting and I had to leave to take care of the situation. This experience put me in the shoes of parents. “As a team leader, having a greater understanding of people’s lived experiences can help create a supportive environment where, for example, our team members don’t need to apologize for having to step out to care for their children. I want my team to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work, including instances where life intersects with work.” A b o u t G o ve rn a n ce P a ti e n t P eo p le P la n e t F in a n c ia ls G lo b a l C S R A p p e n d ix 37 2023 Annual Integrated Report

HELPING THE PLANET TO HELP PATIENTS T H E H E A LT H of the planet is inextricably linked with human health. This is particularly true relative to climate change, which threatens global health through diminished biodiversity, declining food security and increased exposure to heat waves, extreme weather and vector- borne diseases. Takeda has the knowledge and experience to help address critical environmental health issues, such as the disease-related impacts of climate change, through our core mission of developing life- transforming medicines and vaccines for people around the world. (See the example of QDENGA on page 7.) In addition, guided by our purpose, we are taking focused climate action within our operations and extended value chain to do our part to minimize the harmful effects of climate change. O U R A P P R O A C H Our commitment to the planet consists of three interrelated focus areas — climate action, natural resource conservation and sustainability by design — around which we structure our activities and actions. Guided by a holistic global approach, site teams implement local activities to identify and tackle specific risks and opportunities: • Climate Action Program works to fundamentally change how we power our operations by maximizing efficiencies and steadily transitioning to low-carbon and renewable energy sources. We are also working closely with our suppliers to help them set and achieve science-based targets. • Natural Resources Conservation Program works to identify and adopt innovative approaches to conserve natural resources in our operations and beyond and minimize our impacts on the natural environment. A healthy ecosystem not only contributes to business continuity but also supports our net-zero ambition. For example, by using less resources like water and generating less waste, we can reduce our energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. • Sustainability by Design Program aims to significantly reduce and minimize the environmental impacts of our products and services right from the start. This program works to embed sustainability considerations into our decision-making for all aspects of a product’s lifecycle. It also sets a foundation for reducing GHG emissions, waste, ecotoxicity and energy and materials consumption.

TAKING CLIMATE ACTION NOW I N 2 0 2 2 , we announced our accelerated goal to achieve net-zero GHG emissions related to our operations, including Scopes 1 and 2, by 2035 and for our entire value chain, including currently estimated1 Scope 3 GHG emissions, by 2040. Our goals support the Paris Climate Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and meet the criteria set by the Science-based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net Zero Standard. We have a long history of investing in projects that reduce our emissions, minimize our reliance on fossil fuels and improve resource circularity. We have taken the next step in our journey by starting work on a comprehensive net-zero strategy. It will incorporate global best practices for decarbonization and define the actions and timing necessary to achieve our net-zero ambitions. Executed through our Climate Action Program, our strategy includes four approaches: reduce, embed, invest and influence. See our online sustainability disclosures for more information about our Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions for FY2022 and other key performance indicators, including methodologies and results. 1 A lack of transparency into, and a difficulty measuring, actual Scope 3 emissions remains an important challenge to overcome as Takeda works toward net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain.

A H E A D PA R T N E R S Pioneering New Approaches to Reduce Emissions Pharmaceutical production is typically energy intensive and, to date, most of the energy required has been derived from natural gas. We are pursuing several avenues to eliminate this dependency. One example is in Austria where we are working through a public-private partnership at our largest manufacturing site in Vienna to develop a ground-breaking process that would replace natural gas with steam- generating heat pumps. Known as AHEAD (Advanced Heat Pump Demonstrator), the project is expected to reduce GHG emissions by up to 90% within one operation at the site. It will mark the first time that natural gas-free, steam-generating heat pumps will be integrated into industrial operation when in use in 2024. What will make this project innovative is the use of steam-generating heat pumps. They will be operated exclusively with 100% natural refrigerants in combination with electricity from renewable sources. These refrigerants are highly efficient and will not emit emissions contributing to climate change. The heat pumps work by repurposing heat waste from on-site chiller systems, but which can currently only heat to about 120 degrees Celsius. By combining them with steam compressors, the pumps will be able to generate steam at 184 degrees Celsius, hot enough to meet the site’s production requirements. AHEAD is intended to serve as a practical example for the entire pharmaceutical industry, as well as other industries aiming to reduce their GHG emissions. Powering Our U.S. Operations with Renewable Energy In 2022, we signed a virtual power purchase agreement to purchase approximately 350,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of renewable energy certificates (RECs) annually from Enel’s North America’s Seven Cowboy Wind Project in Oklahoma. We will apply these RECs to our global GHG reduction goals. The project, which became operational in April 2023, will generate enough clean, renewable energy to power our anticipated electricity needs for our facilities throughout the United States. This agreement accounts for more than 100,000 tons of the company’s current total GHG emissions or approximately 22% of our current annual enterprise Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

Addressing Our Main Source of Emissions: Scope 3 Currently, more than 90% of our estimated GHG emissions are from our value chain Scope 3 emissions. We are helping our highest-emitting suppliers switch to renewable energy and develop emissions goals that are aligned with the SBTi by 2024 — as well as strategies to achieve them. In 2022, we hosted our annual Partner Value Summit for 175 suppliers (representing approximately 40% of our Scope 3 emissions) to share our journey, our expectations and best practices for decarbonization. Following the event, nearly 10% of participating suppliers submitted GHG reduction targets to SBTi for approval, while many others have indicated they plan to do so in the months ahead. We also updated our Supplier Code of Conduct to include expectations for the reporting of GHG emissions and the adoption of energy efficiency measures. To help suppliers understand these expectations, we are developing associated training and a toolkit. Moving forward, we will integrate consideration of a supplier’s climate program into our supplier selection process. We are also working with others in our industry through the Energize Program, which aims to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy and reduce GHG emissions among pharmaceutical suppliers. Optimizing Product Distribution One way we are working to reduce Scope 3 emissions is by changing how we distribute our products. Globally, we are implementing more efficient transport modes for some products, including transitioning from truck to rail or from air to sea. In 2022, our sea freight ratio versus air stabilized at 47.5%, avoiding an estimated 42,000 tons of GHG emissions for our entire product portfolio. At the local level, small changes can also make a big difference. For example, in Japan, we shifted from three to two warehouses and increased the number of products transported per truck.

Aligning with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures As a supporter of the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), we issued our first comprehensive assessment of Takeda’s climate change resilience in 2022.  We are pleased to provide the following update to our TCFD disclosure. Integrating our environmental targets into our business strategy is critical to achieving our ambitious GHG reduction goals. We are committed to making steady progress toward them.


 
CONSERVING NATURAL RESOURCES TA K E DA I S W O R K I N G to use less water and other natural resources, send less waste to landfill and protect biodiversity. Doing so not only supports the health of our communities and nature, but also our efforts to reach net-zero. Optimizing Waste Landfills are a major source of groundwater pollution and contributor of GHG emissions (methane), which will last in the atmosphere for decades. Like our water conservation efforts, we support our Climate Action Program to drive and track progress at our major sites toward our zero-waste-to-landfill goal. This includes setting local goals and taking action to reduce, reuse and recycle waste. In fiscal year 2022, we diverted more than 80% of our waste from landfill. For example, we implemented AI technology at our BioLife donation centers to better understand our impact and identify reduction opportunities. This technology will also help us ensure waste bins are fully utilized to reduce pick-up frequency, which, in turn, can help reduce Scope 3 emissions. (See the Patient section to learn more about our BioLife donation centers and how we are transforming lives through our plasma-derived treatments.) Reducing Fresh Water Use The production of many types of medicines, including biologics, requires significant amounts of water at the highest standards of purity. We recognize that water is a finite resource that we share with the communities near our sites and are working to conserve it. While we have active programs to reduce and conserve our fresh water use globally, we are prioritizing our efforts at six of our manufacturing sites in areas considered to have “high” or “extremely high” water risk. For more information, see our 2022 Annual Integrated Report, page 54. Employee-driven Innovation Sparks Water Savings When we invited employees at our Los Angeles manufacturing facility to join our Water Use Reduction Innovation Challenge, Tyler Calamoneri, senior automation engineer, already had an idea. In his building, distilled water was employed to sterilize equipment used in manufacturing. The sterilized distilled water was stored in a tank. After each cleaning, the unused distilled water was flushed into the drain. Tyler realized that the unused water being flushed could be stored in the tank for up to 24 hours and still retain its sterility. "The system was unnecessarily flushing the tank after every cleaning — wasting more than 220 liters every time,” he noted. Knowing how important sterility is to the quality of the product, Tyler analyzed the average number of cleanings and cycle times to determine that the site could save more than 6.8 million liters of water annually by adjusting the flushing and cleaning cycles — and it could be done at no additional expense to the site. This would save water while also reducing the site’s GHG emissions. Tyler’s idea became reality after implementation in 2022. F O R M O R E I N F O R M AT I O N see our position on water stewardship.

Preserving and Restoring Biodiversity Biodiversity loss will have profound consequences for human health if impaired ecosystems can no longer provide clean water, energy, food, recreation and other services that contribute to well-being. We seek to support biodiversity through responsible business practices and conservation efforts, many of which are employee-led. We have conducted biodiversity assessments at all Takeda manufacturing sites globally. Assessments included screening of risks based on the potential presence of threatened or protected biodiversity areas in proximity to our facilities and the potential pressures on biodiversity from our activities. Based on the results of these initial assessments, we conducted in-depth studies at five high- priority sites. Results did not identify any site activities that materially contribute to the pressure on biodiversity. They did, however, surface opportunities for improvement, which we are evaluating in 2023. Opportunities include improving onsite wastewater pre-treatment and reducing freshwater withdrawal, which we will incorporate into our water optimization P R O M O T I N G L O C A L I N I T I AT I V E S At our Lessines, Belgium, site we are working to protect three rare local species identified on-site: the Blue-winged Oedipodid (cricket), the Wandering Andrene (solitary bee) and the Heleborine Epipactis (flowering plant). Efforts include planting melliferous plants and indigenous trees, creating ponds and installing beehives and a flower meadow. efforts. We are also evaluating methods to assess our biodiversity footprint throughout our value chain. We are working beyond our sites to preserve biodiversity. Established in 1933 as a cultivation area for medicinal plants, the Takeda Garden for Medicinal Plant Conservation in Kyoto, Japan, has gathered numerous medicinal and other useful plants from around the world for experimental purposes. The garden includes approximately 3,200 species of plants on its 94,000-square-meter site. Of these, about 1,900 are medicinal plants and about 240 are endangered or near- endangered species on the Ministry of the Environment's Red List.

DESIGNING WITH SUSTAINABILITY IN MIND M O R E T H A N 8 0 % of a product’s environmental impact is locked in before it even reaches the market.1 Through our Sustainability by Design framework, we are integrating processes and building strategies to minimize lifecycle environmental impacts of our products, including supporting our net-zero GHG emissions goal across our value chain. Developing Product-Level Sustainability Metrics In 2022, we identified four product-level sustainability metrics: GHG emissions, waste generation, water use and hazardous substance use. We are using TAK-755, our investigational product for Congenital Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) (see page 25), to pilot how we calculate the metrics and develop a product “report card” that will live with the product throughout its lifecycle. We plan Reducing Environmental Impacts of Existing Medicines We are also looking for opportunities to improve the sustainability of our medicines already available to patients. One example is PANTOLOC® (pantoprazole), first approved for use in Europe in 2009 to treat heartburn, acid reflux and gastro- oesophageal reflux disease. In 2022, we introduced alternative packaging for PANTOLOC made from 100% recycled cardboard. When fully implemented, we expect to save an estimated 87,000 kg of virgin fiber board annually.

Our Core Operating Profit grew at 9.1% on a CER basis to reach 1,188.4 billion yen (US$9.0 billion5), a record high for Takeda, and Core EPS grew at +13.9% on a CER basis to 558 yen per share. In addition, our Core Operating Profit margin increased by 1.6 percentage points to 29.5%. This year-on-year margin improvement is an indicator of our financial resilience and our ability to control costs — in fact, on a CER basis, our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) spend was lower than fiscal year 2021. A key driver for our revenue growth was the performance of our Growth & Launch Products. They contributed around 40% of revenue and grew at 19% year over year at CER. With strong fundamentals and financial discipline, we invested in our future growth, generated free cash flow of 446.2 billion yen, and continued to deleverage, reaching a net-debt-to-adjusted EBITDA of 2.6x as of March 31, 2023. Excluding the approximately 400 billion yen upfront cash payment we made to acquire TAK-279, our free cash flow would have been 837.3 billion yen, and the leverage ratio would have reached 2.3x. This achievement in deleveraging closes the chapter on our last major financial target from the Shire integration. See page 51 for footnotes.

We expect revenue to decline by low single-digit percent on a CER basis as a result, and Core EPS to decline at low-20s% CER. Nevertheless, based on our current assumptions, we expect to return to revenue, profit and margin growth in the near-term driven by continued expansion of our Growth & Launch Products, such as ENTYVIO, TAKHZYRO, LIVTENCITY and our Immunoglobulin and Albumin portfolio. We also expect to see meaningful contribution from QDENGA as it continues to roll-out.

We expect that the momentum from our Growth & Launch Products, coupled with new launches from our pipeline, will return us to growth in the near term and form the cornerstone of our future growth profile. As we look to the future, we remain committed to returning to a Core Operating Profit margin in the low-to-mid 30%, supported by productivity improvements driven by data, digital and technology. As we prepare for our next phase of growth, we will continue to maintain a solid investment grade credit rating, while allocating more capital toward our growth drivers and shareholder returns. Investing for growth will continue to consist of strategic investments in internal and external opportunities to enhance our pipeline, as well as investment in new product launches, our PDT business and data, digital and technology. We also plan to raise our dividend from 180 yen to 188 yen per share in fiscal year 2023 — Takeda’s first dividend increase in 15 years. Moving forward, we are committed to a progressive dividend policy. 1 Further information regarding certain of Takeda’s Non-IFRS measures is posted on Takeda’s investor relations website. 2 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. 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 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. 5 Convenience translations have been made at an exchange rate of 1USD = 132.75 JPY.

Financial Information and Certain Non-IFRS Financial Measures Takeda’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This Report and materials distributed in connection with this Report include certain financial measures not presented in accordance with IFRS, such as Core Revenue, Core Operating Profit, Core Net Profit, Core EPS, Constant Exchange Rate (“CER”) change, Net Debt, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Takeda’s management evaluates results and makes operating and investment decisions using both IFRS and non-IFRS measures included in this Report. These non-IFRS measures exclude certain income, cost and cash flow items which are included in, or are calculated differently from, the most closely comparable measures presented in accordance with IFRS. By including these non-IFRS measures, management intends to provide investors with additional information to further analyze Takeda’s performance and core results, including when controlling for the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates. 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, which are in the financial appendix appearing at the end of Takeda’s FY2022 investor presentation (available at takeda.com/investors/financial-results/ quarterly-results/). 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 convenience translations have been made at an exchange rate of 1USD = 132.75 JPY, the Noon Buying Rate certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on March 31, 2023. The rate and methodologies used for these convenience translations differ from the currency exchange rates and translation methodologies under IFRS used for the preparation of Takeda’s consolidated financial statements. These translations should not be construed as a representation that the relevant Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate.

FINANCIAL DEFINITIONS Definition of Core Financial Measures, Constant Exchange Rate change, and Free Cash Flow 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. 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 divestitures of non-core businesses and of portions of our investment portfolio contribute to the cash flows and liquidity available to us. 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 reflect 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. 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 A b o u t G o ve rn a n ce P a ti e n t P e o p le P la n e t F in a n c ia ls G lo b a l C S R A p p en d ix 58 2023 Annual Integrated Report


 
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 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 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. From this figure, we deduct cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash that is temporarily held by Takeda on behalf of third parties related to vaccine operations and the trade receivables sales program, to calculate Net Debt. 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 are 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.
