Sumitomo Pharma (4506 JP) reported double-digit revenue growth in Q1FY25, driven by North America. Operating loss narrowed. Net profit stood at ¥16B in Q1FY25 (Q1FY24 net loss: ¥39B).
Robust performance of key products, gross margin expansion, achievement of sizable benefits from the North America business restructure, and streamlining R&D initiatives are the key positives in Q1FY25 result.
Sumitomo is expected to revise FY25 guidance during H1FY25 result announcement. Better-than-expected performance from key drugs as well as favorable Fx should lead to upward revision of revenue guidance.
