H1 2025 earnings summary14 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, dropped 80.5% year-over-year to RMB49.4 million, mainly due to lower sales of pralsetinib, price adjustments, and absence of major licensing or milestone deals.

  • Net loss for the period was RMB270.2 million (Non-IFRS), reversing a prior-year profit, driven by a shift from gross profit to gross loss.

  • Advanced global expansion with new regulatory approvals and strategic partnerships, notably for sugemalimab in Europe, UK, LATAM, and China.

  • Four commercialized products with nine approved indications and five territories covered, including major launches in EU and UK.

  • Sugemalimab became the first PD-L1 developed by a Chinese biopharma to be marketed internationally, with approvals in EU, UK, and China.

Financial highlights

  • Revenue for 2025 H1 was RMB49.4 million, down from RMB254.2 million year-over-year.

  • Net loss for 2025 H1 was RMB265.1 million (Non-IFRS), compared to a profit of RMB10.8 million in 2024 H1.

  • Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits stood at RMB652.8 million as of June 30, 2025, with an additional RMB425.8 million raised in July 2025.

  • Operating expenses remained stable at RMB179.3 million, with R&D expenses rising 44% year-over-year to RMB105.2 million.

  • Cost of revenue increased to RMB142.2 million, mainly due to inventory write-downs and early billing for pralsetinib supply.

Outlook and guidance

  • Anticipates revenue growth in H2 2025 from new licensing agreements, especially Gentili, and potential NRDL inclusion for pralsetinib.

  • Multiple global regulatory submissions and commercial launches planned for sugemalimab and other pipeline assets.

  • Focus on advancing CS5001 and CS2009 towards pivotal trials and expanding early-stage candidates.

  • Ongoing expansion of commercial partnerships in SEA, Australia, Canada, Japan, India, Europe, and LATAM.

  • Caution that pipeline products may not ultimately be developed or marketed successfully.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
