Notice Concerning Gain on Return of Retirement Benefit Trust (Extraordinary Income) Recorded in the Company’s Non-Consolidated Financial Statements (Japanese GAAP)

Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Osaka, Japan; Representative Director, President and CEO: Toru Kimura; Securities Code: 4506, Prime Market of TSE; the “Company”) announced today that the Company has decided to receive a full return of the retirement benefit trust assets. The plan assets, including the retirement benefit trust assets, are overfunded relative to defined benefit obligations, a situation that is expected to continue. As a result of the return, the Company will record the related gain in its non-consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 (April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027) under Japanese GAAP as described below. Since the Company has adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for its consolidated financial statements, there will be no impact on the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

1.Scheduled Date of Return

September 28, 2026

2.Expected Amount to Be Returned Approximately

26.1 billion yen

3.Impact on the Company’s Financial Results

As a result of the return, the Company expects to recognize in full the previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the shares held in the trust. The Company therefore expects to record a gain of approximately 17.3 billion yen from the return of retirement benefit trust assets as extraordinary income in its non-consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 under Japanese GAAP. The amount of the gain will be determined at the time of the return and may therefore change. Since the Company has adopted IFRS for its consolidated financial statements, there will be no impact on the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
