Net revenues demonstrate a consistent long-term growth trajectory, increasing from 13,010 million in March 2021 to 17,404 million by September 2026. A recurring seasonal pattern is evident, with first-quarter revenues typically experiencing a dip before expanding through the subsequent three quarters of each fiscal year.

Gross Profitability and Margin Trends
Gross margins have expanded in alignment with revenue growth, rising from 8,797 million in early 2021 to a peak of 13,119 million by September 2026. The cost of products sold remained relatively stable despite the increase in top-line revenue, suggesting improved production efficiency or pricing strength over the analyzed period.
Operating Expenditure and Investment Patterns
Selling, general, and administrative expenses generally fluctuated between 3,000 million and 4,000 million, with a notable spike to 5,412 million in June 2022. Research and development expenditures typically ranged between 1,500 million and 2,500 million, though a significant anomaly occurred in December 2024, where spending surged to 6,774 million. Additionally, Acquired IPR&D and milestone payments exhibit high volatility, with substantial outflows occurring in June 2024 (937 million), December 2024 (1,574 million), and September 2025 (2,680 million), indicating strategic periodic investments in intellectual property.
Operating Earnings Performance
Operating earnings generally trended upward, reaching a peak of 6,432 million in June 2026. However, performance was interrupted by severe volatility, most notably in December 2024, when operating earnings dropped to a loss of 1,490 million, coinciding with the spike in research and development spending.
Non-Operating Items and Net Income
Interest expenses showed a gradual increase, rising from 622 million in March 2021 to 700 million by September 2026. Other income and expenses were highly erratic, frequently recording large negative values that heavily influenced the bottom line. Consequently, net earnings experienced extreme fluctuations, ranging from a loss of 23 million in December 2024 to a high of 4,220 million in September 2026. The final periods of the analysis show a recovery and growth trend in net earnings attributable to the company.
