Takeda Reports Third-Quarter FY2025 Results: Updates Full Year Outlook to Reflect VYVANSE® Generics Impact, OPEX Discipline and FX Tailwind; Progressing Toward Three Transformative Launches Ahead

 OSAKA, Japan - Thursday, 29. January 2026

Year-to-Date Revenue Declined by 2.8% at Constant Exchange Rate (CER), 3.3% at Actual Exchange Rates (AER); Impact of VYVANSE® Generics is Tapering Off

Core Operating Profit Declined by 3.4% at both CER and AER Year to Date

Reported Operating Profit Increased by 1.2% at AER Year to Date, Lower Restructuring Expenses More Than Offset Impairment

 

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Takeda (TOKYO:4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced earnings results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 (nine months ended December 31, 2025). The gap between incremental Growth & Launch Products revenue and VYVANSE erosion is narrowing, and operational efficiencies drove year-on-year reductions in operating expenses, including R&D. The company raised its full-year forecasts based on cost discipline and FX tailwind, while its Revenue Management Guidance has been updated primarily due to the impact of VYVANSE generics.

Takeda is positioned for long-term growth and has multiple late-stage programs with multibillion-dollar peak revenue potential. Following the positive readouts from Phase 3 studies in 2025, the company has submitted New Drug Applications (NDAs) for oveporexton and rusfertide and is on track to file an NDA for zasocitinib. Each of these programs, which Takeda expects to launch within the next 18 months, has the potential to redefine standards of care, transform patient lives and contribute to Takeda's new growth trajectory.

Takeda chief financial officer, Milano Furuta, commented:

“While we manage the impact of VYVANSE generics, we are implementing disciplined cost management and improving operational efficiency and therefore expect to achieve the previously disclosed Management Guidance for Core Operating Profit.

“FY2025 remains a truly pivotal year for Takeda as we are in a phase of preparing for significant new product launches. Looking ahead, with multiple innovative launches and a robust late-stage pipeline, Takeda is positioned to bring life-transforming medicines that improve patient lives and deliver long-term shareholder value.”

NIQ Launches Breakthrough Framework That Exposes Billions Lost to the Say–Do Gap

 The new global framework quantifies the disconnect between consumer intent and real‑world buying behavior, unlocking powerful paths to reclaim volume and fuel growth

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--NielsenIQ (NYSE: NIQ) today announced the launch of its Say–Do Gap Measurement Framework, an innovative behavioral metric set to transform how brands and retailers understand modern consumers and navigate a pressing challenge: consumers who say one thing but buy another. With economic uncertainty, shifting priorities, and increasingly value‑driven decision-making changing consumer habits, this growing disconnect has cost the industry more than 13 billion unit sales over the past five years—losses many companies can no longer afford to overlook.

By unifying deep attitudinal insights with verified purchase data across 25+ global markets, the Say–Do Framework bridges this gap and exposes where brands are losing momentum, where unmet demand is hiding, and where opportunity is silently compounding. Brands and retailers can now quantify the gap between what consumers believe and what they buy, and market or create products that deliver value with the correct consumer, maximize price retention, and deliver unit volume growth.

“Brands and retailers can no longer afford to navigate using half the compass. The Say-Do Framework delivers behavioral truth rooted in real buying patterns in order to help our clients defend price, reclaim volume, and unlock growth with precision,” said Marta Cyhan-Bowles, Chief Communications Officer & Head of Global Marketing COE, NIQ.

This new framework applies seamlessly across categories, cohorts, markets, and claims, and can be weighted to reflect brand-specific priorities. Because it refreshes continually through NIQ’s globally connected panel network, businesses can track how shifts in sentiment, messaging, or macro forces reshape consumer behavior over time. It’s not just a diagnostic; it’s a living, repeatable revenue engine.

NIQ’s proprietary linkage methodology makes it possible for leaders to see not just where consumer intent falls short of action but also the “why”, and what it will take to close that distance profitably.

“This is the clearest bridge yet between what consumers believe and what they buy,” said Troy Treagan, Chief Product Officer at NIQ. “For years, leaders could only guess why intent failed to translate into action. Now they can see the drivers of the gap, quantify its financial impact, and take data-driven steps to close it. Any company looking to regain momentum in 2026 should have this framework at the center of its decisions.”

The Say–Do Gap Measurement Framework is now available globally as part of NIQ’s Full View™ suite. To learn more, visit niq.com/say-do-framework.

About NIQ

NIQ is a leading consumer intelligence company, delivering the most complete understanding of consumer buying behavior and revealing new pathways to growth. Our global reach spans over 90 countries covering approximately 85% of the world’s population and more than $ 7.2 trillion in global consumer spend.

Multi-Color Corporation Initiates Implementation of Restructuring Agreement

 ATLANTA -

Commences Prepackaged Chapter 11 Process As Part of Previously Announced Restructuring Support Agreement to Reset Balance Sheet and Position Company for Long-Term Growth and Investment

Restructuring Supported by CD&R and More Than Supermajority of Senior Secured Lenders Who Have Agreed to Backstop Nearly $890 Million Investment; Provides More Than $500 Million of New Liquidity Upon Emergence

All Global Operations and Service to Customers Expected to Continue Without Interruption; All Trade Vendors and Suppliers Expected to be Paid in Full

Provides for $250 Million of New Money Debtor-in-Possession Financing to Capitalize the Business Throughout the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Process

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Multi-Color Corporation (“MCC” or the “Company”), a global leader in prime label solutions, today announced that to implement the previously announced restructuring support agreement (the “RSA”), the Company has commenced its prepackaged Chapter 11 filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (“the Court”).

MCC announced on January 27 it had entered into the RSA with holders of approximately 72% in amount of MCC’s secured first lien debt and its equity sponsor, CD&R, on the terms of a comprehensive financial restructuring. The transactions contemplated by the RSA will significantly deleverage MCC’s balance sheet, reducing its net debt load from approximately $5.9 billion to approximately $2.0 billion. The Company’s annualized cash interest will also be reduced from approximately $475 million to $140 million in 2026, a reduction of over $330 million, with long-term debt maturities extended to 2033 following consummation of the restructuring transactions. Additionally, the RSA provides for an $889 million new common and preferred equity investment that will support long-term growth and investment. Upon emergence, MCC will have more than $500 million of liquidity.

BUSINESS AS USUAL

The RSA also provides for $250 million of new money debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing to capitalize the business throughout the prepackaged Chapter 11 process. Subject to the Court’s approval, this additional financing is expected to allow MCC to continue operating in the ordinary course during the restructuring without impacting trade creditors, customers, employees, vendors, or suppliers, and will allow the Company to honor its commitments to strategic partners.

MCC has filed a series of customary “first day motions” that, subject to Court approval, will allow the Company to continue to operate in the ordinary course of business while it works to deleverage its capital structure. In addition to seeking approvals related to the DIP financing, MCC will seek authority to allow the Company to continue to maintain wages and benefits without interruption, satisfy employee-related claims, pay trade vendors and suppliers in full in the ordinary course, and perform other critical functions and processes necessary for the Company to continue uninterrupted operations.

Stakeholders with questions can contact Verita, the Company’s claims and noticing agent, at (866) 967-1788 (U.S./Canada toll free) or +1 (310) 751-2688 (International) or submit an inquiry to www.veritaglobal.net/MCC/inquiry.

CSG Recognized in Multi-Category Trusted Analyst Reports for CPQ, Monetization, and Digital Partner Management

 The depth, innovation, and real-world impact of the company’s telecom portfolio are what make CSG stand out in the industry

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Communication service providers (CSPs) are under pressure to simplify complexity, monetize new services, and deliver experiences customers trust with speed and accuracy. To succeed, they need partners who can turn quote-to-cash and digital monetization into a competitive advantage, not just a back-office function.

Over the past year, CSG® (NASDAQ: CSGS) has achieved multi-category recognition from leading analyst firms for doing exactly that. To CSG, these recognitions reinforce a role as a go-to partner for CSPs looking to move faster, unlock new revenue streams, and modernize their core with AI-powered, telco-specific platforms built for real-world complexity.

CPQ Leadership for Complex B2B and B2B2X Monetization

CSG Quote & Order continues to stand out for CSPs that need to configure complex offers, quote with confidence, and move from deal to revenue without friction.

With Quote & Order, CSG is named:

A Challenger in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Configure, Price & Quote Application Suites for its Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. CSG Quote & Order is a catalog‑driven CPQ and order management platform for complex B2B telecoms. It streamlines quote‑to‑cash workflows so CSPs can launch deals faster, protect margins, and deliver a better customer experience.

With Ascendon, CSG is named as:

A Leader in MGI Research’s 2025 Agile Billing 360 Ratings for the second year in a row, recognized for combining a highly agile, cloud-based billing platform with a sophisticated product catalog that supports complex pricing, high-volume transactions and delivers reliable outcomes.

A Major Player in the 2025 IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Enterprise-Focused Subscription & Usage Management Applications for Telecommunications. IDC MarketScape notes: “Real-time rating and charging, policy control, and provisioning of services set Ascendon apart from lightweight subscription billers because it supports large-scale transactional volumes, ensuring billing accuracy.”

“Almost every CSP talks about end-to-end transformation, but very few have the platforms, partners, and momentum to make it real,” said Chad Dunavant, Chief Product & Strategy Officer, CSG. “To us, these recognitions show that CSG is doing exactly that—connecting CPQ, monetization, digital wholesale, and customer experience on a unified, AI-powered foundation built for telecom complexity, not generic use cases. As a result, CSG customers aren’t just modernizing systems but changing the trajectory of their business. That’s the bar we hold ourselves to every day, and it’s energizing to see analysts recognize our solutions.”

Galderma Unveils ‘Wake Up To Restylane’, Underscoring Restylane as the Ideal Hyaluronic Acid Treatment for Always-On Natural Beauty

 ZUG, Switzerland - Thursday, 29. January 2026 AETOSWire Print 

‘Wake Up To Restylane®’ is a global campaign designed to meet the rising demand for natural-looking always-on results, helping people wake up looking refreshed and rested, and reframes Restylane treatments from a clinical procedure into an always-on beauty regimen

Backed by 30 years of science, the Restylane portfolio is the only hyaluronic acid (HA) range offering four distinct technologies, designed to deliver personalized natural-looking outcomes that provide contour, definition, and hydration, with HA closest to the skin’s own1-7

This launch builds on new clinical data presented at the International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS) World Congress 2026, confirming Restylane’s proven efficacy and versatility across multiple facial areas and the décolletage8-11

 

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Galderma (SIX: GALD), the pure-play dermatology category leader, has launched ‘Wake Up To Restylane’, a global campaign that showcases Restylane as an everyday beauty ally. Aligned with the growing desire for effortless, authentic results that restore facial balance and improve skin quality, the campaign highlights Restylane’s unique ability to deliver personalized results that move naturally with expressions to help people look and feel good.1,6,12-18

The launch was unveiled at the IMCAS World Congress 2026 in Paris, where Galderma also presented new clinical data reinforcing Restylane’s efficacy across key facial areas such as the chin, jawline, temples, as well as the décolletage, underscoring its unique position as the only HA portfolio offering a variety of formulations for tailored outcomes.1,8-11

 

“What's compelling about ‘Wake Up To Restylane’ is its focus on beauty that’s ready when you are. Patients increasingly want treatments that fit seamlessly into their lives, and this campaign captures that shift perfectly. For practitioners, Restylane continues to set the benchmark for HA treatments and remains an indispensable tool in modern aesthetic practice thanks to its proven science, unmatched versatility and reliability, and personalized, natural-looking results.”

 

DR. KULDEEP MINOCHA

AESTHETIC PHYSICIAN

As HA treatments remain the go-to for modern beauty, Restylane helps people wake up ready to go

‘Wake Up To Restylane’ captures a growing desire to look subtly refreshed – like you slept well – without the effort, especially towards beauty-conscious consumers, some of whom might be new to injectables, and want results that look authentic and harmonious, while aligning with their lifestyles. Restylane delivers what skincare and makeup alone can’t: structure, definition, balance, and a lasting glow, thanks to its unique HA that works in sync with your skin.1,6,12-18

Insights from Galderma’s research of over 4,300 consumers and healthcare professionals (HCPs) across four countries (Brazil, China, Germany and the United States) highlight the relevance of this campaign.12 HA treatments remain an important aesthetic treatment option, with about a third of consumers ranking HA as their top injectable choice ahead of neuromodulators.12 HA treatments remain among the most planned procedures globally, which signals the durable relevance and trust in the category.12

HAs are often chosen for deeply personal reasons: people describe HA treatments as an act of self‑care and self‑love, a little indulgence in a stressful life that helps them feel comfortable in their own skin.12 Many are choosing HA specifically to improve skin quality, seeking healthy, glowing, hydrated skin that looks refreshed.12 Patients and practitioners align on natural‑looking results, delivered safely and with reliable outcomes.12 This aligns perfectly with Restylane’s promise: authentic beauty that’s ready when you are, supported by three decades of safety data.1-3

 

“Restylane has an iconic heritage as a trusted, science-backed HA treatment, and ‘Wake Up To Restylane’ is an exciting evolution in how we connect the brand with evolving beauty aspirations. We’re not just responding to change – we’re leading it – driving the category forward, including for those taking their first steps into aesthetics, while staying true to the authentic always-on beauty and personalization that define the brand."

Restylane: Backed by science and designed differently, with proven versatility across facial areas and skin concerns

The versatile portfolio of Restylane HA treatments is designed to meet diverse patient needs across key areas of the face and décolletage, from soft, flexible formulations that smooth facial lines and wrinkles for a more youthful look, to firmer gels that provide contouring and structural support.2,5-11,13-21

Ongoing clinical evidence continues to reinforce Restylane’s ability to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results across multiple indications.8-11 New clinical data presented at IMCAS demonstrated the efficacy of Restylane Shaype™ in shaping the chin, Restylane Lyft™ in improving jawline definition, and Restylane Volyme™ in correcting hollowing of the temples, while Restylane Skinboosters™ improved skin quality and smoothed wrinkles in the décolletage – an area often affected by sleep lines.8-11

With over 30 years of innovation and more than 77 million treatments administered worldwide, Restylane remains highly relevant in addressing some of today’s most significant aesthetic trends and needs, from facial changes following medication-driven weight loss to growing concerns related to menopause and skin health.1,22-24 Galderma’s continued innovation underscores its commitment to helping people feel good in their skin at every life stage.

About the Restylane portfolio

Restylane hyaluronic acid (HA) treatments are designed differently to go beyond volumizing for natural-looking results.1,25-27 Our HA is minimally modified and our innovative manufacturing process preserves its biocompatibility while creating individual products designed for a specific purpose.12,28-30 Powered by NASHA®, NASHA HD™, OBT™ and SB-NASHA™ technologies, Restylane offers gels with the highest firmness to the highest flexibility, enabling personalized treatments that deliver structural support, natural-looking results, and a healthy glow.4-7 Trusted for almost three decades, our HA gels work in sync with your skin for 100% natural-looking results.1-3

About Galderma

Galderma (SIX: GALD) is the pure-play dermatology category leader, present in approximately 90 countries. We deliver an innovative, science-based portfolio of premium flagship brands and services that span the full spectrum of the fast-growing dermatology market through Injectable Aesthetics, Dermatological Skincare and Therapeutic Dermatology.

State Street, in Collaboration with ADIO, to Create 300+ New Jobs With Launch of New Al Ain Operations Hub

 BOSTON & ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - 

The expansion further solidifies State Street’s role as a trusted strategic partner in Abu Dhabi’s financial ecosystem, supporting the emirate’s commitment to regional economic diversification and developing next-generation talent in Al Ain.

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), one of the world’s leading providers of financial services to institutional investors, has signed a support agreement with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) to establish a new operating center in the Al Ain region, Abu Dhabi. The collaboration marks a significant step in State Street’s long-term expansion strategy in the Middle East and UAE and reinforces its role as a strategic partner within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) ecosystem.

As part of its long-term growth plan in Abu Dhabi and aligning to State Street’s global clients’ increasing presence in Abu Dhabi, the new operating hub will create more than 300 financial services roles over the next four years, providing meaningful career pathways for local Emirati talent. In addition, State Street will collaborate with local universities to create career and internship opportunities for graduates, as well as organize training and seminars to help develop the next generation of local young talent, aligning with Abu Dhabi’s priority to build a knowledge-based, globally competitive workforce.

“State Street’s strategy is to meet our clients where they are going. We are committed to investing in the growth of our UAE business and expanding our presence in Abu Dhabi and the ADGM,” said Ron O’Hanley, Chairman and CEO of State Street. “Abu Dhabi, including Al Ain, is a strategic priority for State Street, and we believe our experience in global financial centres can support the emirate’s continued development as an important global financial hub. The combination of strong local talent and our global expertise positions State Street as a trusted partner to both local and international institutions.”

This collaboration also forms part of ADIO’s FinTech, Insurance, Digital and Alternative Assets (FIDA) cluster, a platform to develop high-value, exportable financial capabilities and create a future-facing financial services ecosystem. By 2045, the cluster is projected to contribute an additional AED56 billion to Abu Dhabi’s gross domestic product (GDP) and attract at least AED17 billion in investment, aligned with the emirate’s wider economic diversification agenda.

“State Street’s expansion into the Al Ain region reflects the type of long-term, capacity-building partnership that supports Abu Dhabi’s economic development agenda across the emirate, aligned with the priorities of the Falcon Economy. We welcome this partnership and value State Street’s contribution to creating high-quality employment opportunities for UAE nationals, nurturing talent development in the Al Ain region, and upskilling future leaders for the financial sector,” said H.E. Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development and Abu Dhabi Global Market.

“By anchoring investment, developing specialised financial talent and strengthening institutional capability, this initiative advances priority sectors while embedding sustainable, high-value opportunities for national talent across Abu Dhabi. As we continue to expand strategic partnerships, we remain focused on equipping UAE talent with the skills and pathways needed to support economic diversification and accelerate Abu Dhabi’s transition towards a more resilient, knowledge-based economy,” H.E. Al Zaabi added.

State Street has been active in Abu Dhabi since 2018 through its presence in ADGM, where it continues to serve institutional clients across the region. The launch of the Al Ain region operating center represents a natural progression of this commitment, broadening its contribution to Abu Dhabi’s financial services landscape and talent development agenda.

The agreement reflects the shared ambition between ADIO and State Street to co-create a robust, globally competitive financial environment, one that nurtures talent, accelerates innovation and reinforces the UAE’s standing as a destination for long-term investment and strategic growth.

In addition to its collaboration with ADIO and role as a trusted strategic partner to Abu Dhabi, State Street intends to upgrade its ADGM licence. This enhancement would enable the firm to further strengthen local market infrastructure, introduce leading global capabilities, and expand global access to position ADGM as on its “Path to Forward” as a premier international financial center.
