Kaken Pharmaceutical (4521 JP) reported 2% YoY decline in revenue H1FY24, while operating profit decreased 33% YoY. Top selling products are impacted by NHI drug price revision and increasing competition.
The company has reiterated FY24 guidance of flat revenue, 5% YoY decline in operating profit, and 23% YoY growth in net profit. Profitability is expected to deteriorate in H2.
Kaken is not expected to see any immediate respite as the small contribution from the new products will not compensate for the revenue loss from its top selling products.
