Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co (4530 JP) has reported double-digit growth in revenue and net profit in Q1FY25. However, operating profit decreased 5% YoY due to higher expenses.
Topline growth was mainly driven by Salonpas, which was named the world’s no. 1 OTC topical analgesic patch band for the eighth consecutive year.
The company reiterated FY25 guidance of 7% revenue growth and low double-digit operating and net profit growth, as an increase in operating profit is expected for the full-year as planned.
