Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. revised consolidated earnings guidance for the Six Months Ending September 30, 2026 and full Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2027. For the six months, the company now expects net sales of JPY 44,800 million, Operating profit of JPY 500 million, Profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 7,400 million and Basic earnings per share of JPY 176.92 against previous guidance of net sales of JPY 48,000 million, Operating profit of JPY 1,900 million, Profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 8,000 million and Basic earnings per share of JPY 196.77. For the Full year, the company now expects net sales of JPY 88,700 million, Operating profit of JPY 2,000 million, Profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 13,300 million and Basic earnings per share of JPY 326.97 against previous guidance of net sales of JPY 95,700 million, Operating profit of JPY 4,400 million, Profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 14,500 million and Basic earnings per share of JPY 356.65. Reasons for the Revision: As the sales of TAVNEOS for the treatment of microscopic polyangiitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis deviated from the planned sales for the first quarter, the Company reduced the sales forecast for the interim period and the full-year period after analyzing the trends of the prescription of TAVNEOS. As for the interim period profit forecast, the Company expects its gross profit to decrease due to an increase in the cost of sales ratio resulting from a decline in the sales of TAVNEOS. Regarding selling, general and administrative expenses, as a result of examining the progress of expenses for the first quarter and the expected expenses for the second quarter, the Company has revised the forecast of operating profit to ¥500 million, down ¥1,400 million (% year on year) from the initial forecast, and the forecast of ordinary profit to ¥1,700 million, down ¥1,100 million (% year on year) from the initial forecast. For extraordinary income, the Company expects to report a gain on sale of investment securities of ¥8,500 million as initially expected and revised the forecast of profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥7,400 million, down ¥600 million (down 4.9% year on year). As for the full-year profit forecast, the Company expects the cost of sales ratio to increase as with the interim period. As for selling, general and administrative expenses, milestone payments resulting from the progress of domestic development of the in-licensed products were initially planned to be recognized in the second half but are now expected to be recognized in the next fiscal year. As a result, the Company has revised the forecast of operating profit to ¥2,000 million, down ¥2,400 million (% year on year) from the initial forecast, and the forecast of ordinary profit to ¥4,000 million, down ¥2,000 million (% year on year) from the initial forecast. For extraordinary income, the Company expects to report a gain on sale of investment securities of ¥14,000 million as initially expected and revised the forecast of profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥13,300 million, down ¥1,200 million (down 3.5% year on year).

Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced the opinion by European authorities regarding concerns over the integrity of data from the international Phase III clinical trial of TAVNEOS (generic name: avacopan), a treatment for microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), which are designated as intractable diseases. TAVNEOS was developed by ChemoCentryx and is commercialised outside the US and in selected countries by CSL, its affiliates and partners pursuant to a collaboration and license agreement between Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma Ltd. and ChemoCentryx. Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma Ltd. has subsequently sublicensed the rights in Japan to Kissei. Amgen acquired ChemoCentryx in 2022. On January 30, 2026, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) initiated a review by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) because concerns arose regarding data integrity in the multinational Phase III clinical trial. On June 26, 2026, the CHMP recommended revoking the marketing authorization in the European Union (EU) for TAVNEOS, stating that it had not been demonstrated that the benefits outweigh the risks. The CHMP's opinion has been submitted to the European Commission (EC), and a final decision by the EC is expected later. Kissei will continue the discussions regarding the appropriate measures in Japan with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). The impact of this matter on Kissei’s business performance is currently under review. If it becomes clear that there will be an impact on our performance, we will promptly disclose the information. TAVNEOS is a treatment for rare diseases in the renal field and others, developed by ChemoCentryx Inc. (USA). This drug is an orally administrable small molecule compound that antagonizes the C5a receptor present on white blood cells such as neutrophils. By inhibiting the migration of white blood cells and the induction of adhesion molecules, it provides a significant and effective therapeutic effect against MPA and GPA.

Furthermore, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) of FDA announced on April 27, 2026, that it proposed the withdrawal of its approval in the United States, asserting that there is new information indicating lack of substantial evidence of effectiveness for the drug and that ChemoCentryx’s application that resulted in FDA approval contained untrue statements of material facts. In addition, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) announced on January 30, 2026, that it has initiated a review by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) due to concerns regarding the integrity of data from the Phase III clinical trial study.

While the approval of this drug in Japan remains in effect, Kissei has begun providing information to healthcare professionals, urging them to refrain from using this drug for new patients and to carefully assess the continuation of treatment for existing patients, explaining the risks of liver dysfunction and alternative treatments to ensure patient safety. Patients currently taking this drug should not independently decide on the continuation of treatment and are advised to consult with their treating physician. The sales revenue of this product for the fiscal year ending March 2026 was JPY 11,524 million. The impact of this matter on Kissei's business performance is currently under review.
