<US>
Performance in line with full-year forecast revised significantly upward
in Q2, driven by the penetration of 1L mUC based on EV-103 study (cis-
ineligible) approved in April 2023
Approval of 1L mUC additional indication based on EV-302 study (both
cis-eligible and ineligible) in Dec 2023 at an incredible speed, only two
weeks after the FDA filing acceptance
Expect significant sales contribution in FY2024 and beyond, driven by
the robust data and further expansion of eligible patient population
<Europe>
Reimbursement started in 3 new countries including Spain, a total of 13
countries as of now. Expect further sales growth

Q3/FY2023 YTD FY2023 Revised FCST Factors for the downward revision
3.6 bil. yen 7.1 bil. yen
DTC activities have been effective, however, it is taking longer to impact the demand increase
Based on market research, HCP’s perception of the current payer coverage progress is
“insufficient to actively prescribe VEOZAH” which is impacting the uptake
As a result, full-year forecast has been revised downward by incorporating the above factors and
reassessing the timing and pace of demand ramp to delay which was expected particularly in Q4

VEOZAH TV spot during the Super Bowl in the US
In FY2024, expect % of lives covered (payer coverage) to increase and
continued momentum from commercial investments
Mid- to long-term and peak sales outlook will be reviewed based on the
progress of overcoming HCP’s perception that coverage is insufficient
Overall initiatives are progressing, however, demand trails internal expectations

gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma
Metastatic gastric cancer is an area of significant unmet
need, especially in advanced stages with ~6% five-year
survival rate at Stage IV and treatment options are
limited
Target: Claudin 18.2
Claudin is a major structural component of tight junctions
and seals intercellular space in epithelial sheets
Broadly expressed in various cancer types
Prevalence of patients with high expression of
Claudin 18.2 is substantial: 38%
~60% of primary pancreatic adenocarcinomas;
~20% of these meet the eligibility criteria for the

Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Study

Initial data analyses showed an association between chronic HRT use and
increased risk of cardiovascular disease and breast cancer
Since WHI’s findings, use of HRT has dropped
Although subsequent analysis of the WHI data have demonstrated that HRT is safe
and effective when initiated in the appropriate patient in the appropriate manner
(i.e. right time, formulation, dose and duration), prescriptions have not rebounded,
leaving some women with minimal options to satisfactorily manage their VMS

Characteristics of ACP
Pegylated RNA aptamer (Chemically synthesized)
ACP inhibits complement C5, and slows inflammation and cell
death associated with development and progression of GA
GA secondary to AMD

Geographic atrophy (GA)
Advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration
(AMD)
Globally, approximately 5 million people are estimated to
have GA at least in one eye
1
Approximately 75% of people living with GA in the US are
believed to be undiagnosed
2
Without timely treatment, an estimated 66% of people with
GA may become blind or severely visually impaired
