Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced that Eli Lilly and Company issued a press release on August 7, 2025 (local time) regarding the positive topline Phase 3 results from ATTAIN-1, evaluating the efficacy and safety of orforglipron compared to placebo in adults with obesity, or overweight with a weight-related medical problem and without diabetes. In the first Phase 3 trial of the ATTAIN program, ATTAIN-1 trial (n=3,127), orforglipron, taken once per day without food and water restrictions, achieved the primary and all key secondary endpoints compared to placebo. Participants taking the highest dose of orforglipron lost an average of 27.3 lbs (12.4kg) (12.4%) at 72 weeks using the efficacy estimand. In a key secondary endpoint, 59.6% of participants taking the highest dose of or forglipron lost at least 10% of their body weight, while 39.6% lost at least 15% of their body weight. The overall safety profile of orforglipron in ATTAIN-1 was consistent with the established GLP-1 receptor agonist class. The most commonly reported adverse events were gastrointestinal-related (nausea, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, dyspepsia) and generally mild to moderate in severity. Treatment discontinuation rates due to adverse events were 5.1% (6 mg), 7.7% (12 mg) and 10.3% (36 mg) for orforglipron vs. 2.6% with placebo. The overall treatment discontinuation rates were 21.9% (6 mg), 22.5% (12 mg) and 24.4% (36 mg) fororforglipron vs. 29.9% with placebo. No hepatic safety signal was observed. The detailed ATTAIN-1 results will be presented next month at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting 2025 and published in a peer-reviewed journal. More results from the ATTAIN Phase 3 clinical trial program will be shared later this year, along with findings from the ACHIEVE Phase 3 clinical trial program evaluating orforglipron for adults with type 2 diabetes. Eli Lilly expects to submit orforglipron for weight management to global regulatory agencies by the end of this year.

Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced that it resolved at the Board of Directors meeting held on July 24, 2025 to construct a new laboratory building (hereinafter "UKX") at Ukima Site (Kita-ku, Tokyo) to strengthen manufacturing process development capabilities for small, mid-size molecule drugs and biopharmaceuticals, as well as to promote environmental measures. Under its growth strategy TOP I 2030, Chugai aims to double R&D output and launch global inhouse products every year. The number of projects with highly challenging process development is increasing, including mid-size molecules and antibodies leveraging its proprietary antibody engineering technologies, and their success is key. To facilitate rapid entry into clinical trials and accelerate development, enhancement of its process development capabilities has become an urgent priority. Additionally, addressing initiatives for phasing out of halogenated hydrocarbons and CO2 emission reduction is an important challenge under its Mid-Term Environmental Goals 2030. To address these challenges, Chugai has decided to construct UKX at Ukima Site. UKX is designed as an environmentally friendly building in addition to expanding laboratory, and will be constructed on the west side of current Ukima Site for which a purchase agreement was concluded in October 2022. UKX will feature an office design that activates cross-functional communication for process development and will leverage lab automation to improve research efficiency. These initiatives will foster innovation and research productivity, further accelerating the establishment of manufacturing processes for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), which are becoming increasingly complex. This capital investment is not expected to affect the consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2025, announced on January 30, 2025.

Chugai Pharmaceutical revealed its financial results for the second quarter of 2025 on July 25, 2025, having revenues of 290B yen and net income of 97.16B yen, reflecting a 8.2% decline in revenue, along with a decrease of approximately 13.2% in EPS compared with the same quarter last year. A negative aspect is that this latest revenue figure breaks a series of 2th consecutive quarters in which the company exhibited growth compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, raising concerns about the company's ability to sustain its growth trajectory.
In addition, the EBITDA margin moderate decline from 50.2% in the corresponding quarter last year to 47.3%. Another figure worth noting is the free cash flow for the quarter, which was 92.58B yen, an increase of 42.55B yen from the previous year's corresponding period. Following the improvement in cash flow, the company's management paid a significant sum of 439M yen to the shareholders, of which 438M yen was paid as a dividend and 1M yen as a repurchase of Common Stock. It is important to note that the stock's dividend yield stands at approximately 1.6%, and it trades at 26.1x times current year's earnings, which is higher than the sector average (P/E 9.6x).
