Revenue in US dollars Revenue (US$m)
The revenue line above, converted at the average ¥/US$ rate of each figure’s own year — never today’s.
Between 1970–2025, Kyowa Kirin’s revenue grew 10.0-fold in yen (4.3% a year). Converted at each year’s own average rate, the same span is 24-fold in dollars (6.0% a year), from $138m to $3.3bn. The dollar figure grew faster because the yen was stronger at the end of the period than at the start — a yen of revenue in 2025 bought more dollars than one in 1970.

Reporting basis
Which accounting standard each stretch of the series was filed under, and whether the accounts are consolidated.
The series crosses 3 reporting regimes — parent-only Japanese GAAP for 1970–1984; consolidated Japanese GAAP for 1992–2012; and consolidated IFRS for 2013–2025. Figures are not strictly comparable across a change of basis: consolidation in particular adds subsidiaries that were previously outside the accounts.
| Fiscal years | Standard | Basis | Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1970–1984 | Japanese GAAP | parent-only | 15 |
| 1992–2012 | Japanese GAAP | consolidated | 22 |
| 2013–2025 | IFRS | consolidated | 13 |
All figures are in Japanese yen as filed. Where a foreign-currency comparison is needed elsewhere on this site, yen amounts are converted at the average rate of each figure's own year — not today's rate. Exchange rates & sources →
