<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nCompany guidance reflects management\u2019s expectations for continued business momentum across Takeda\u2019s five key business areas, underlying revenue growth of its 14 global brands, and accelerated realization of cost synergies, while continuing to invest in R&amp;D.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFY2021 guidance reflects the following key assumptions, including (1) Takeda expects at least one 505(b)2 competitor for subcutaneous VELCADE to launch in the U.S. around mid FY2021; (2) Takeda does not expect to restart sales of Natpara in the U.S. market in FY2021; and (3) FY2021 guidance does not include the impact of any potential further divestitures beyond what has already been disclosed by Takeda.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTo date, Takeda has not experienced a material effect on its financial results as a result of the global spread of the novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19). Based on currently available information, Takeda believes that its financial results for FY2021 will not be materially affected by COVID-19 and, accordingly, Takeda&#8217;s FY2021 forecast reflects this belief. However, the situation surrounding COVID-19 remains highly fluid, and future COVID-19-related developments in FY2021, including new or additional COVID-19 outbreaks and additional or extended lockdowns, shelter-in-place orders or other government action in major markets, could result in further or more serious disruptions to Takeda\u2019s business, such as slowdowns in demand for Takeda\u2019s products, supply chain related issues or significant delays in its clinical trial programs. These events, if they occur, could result in an additional impact on Takeda\u2019s business, results of operations or financial condition, as well as result in significant deviations from Takeda\u2019s FY2021 forecast.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more details on Takeda&#8217;s Q1 FY2021 results and other financial information, please visit: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.takeda.com%2Finvestors%2Ffinancial-results%2F&amp;esheet=52468870&amp;newsitemid=20210729006282&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.takeda.com%2Finvestors%2Ffinancial-results%2F&amp;index=4&amp;md5=2f8d2d27da171870122899563eb296f2\">https:\/\/www.takeda.com\/investors\/financial-results\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nMore information on Takeda\u2019s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) approach and values-based corporate governance can be found in the 2021 Annual Integrated Report for FY2020, which ended March 31, 2021.
