Sumitomo Pharma (4506 JP) completed the acquisition of Myovant Sciences. Myovant’s marketed drugs Orgovyx and Myfembree are on strong growth trajectory and have the potential to become blockbuster drugs.
Sumitomo’s flagship drug Latuda lost patent protection in Feb’23 and has already started seeing revenue erosion. For FY23, Sumitomo has guided for Latuda revenue of $1,565 million, down 14% YoY.
Post Latuda, newly added drugs will not be able to fully offset the effect of Latuda revenue loss. the company is not expected to launch in-house new drug before FY25.
