Hong Kong, Shanghai & Florham Park, NJ - Monday, July 31,
2023: HUTCHMED (China) Limited ("HUTCHMED", the "Company" or "we")
(Nasdaq/AIM: HCM; HKEX: 13), the innovative, commercial-stage
biopharmaceutical company, today reports its unaudited financial
results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and provides updates
on key clinical and commercial developments.
All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise
stated.
Strategic: clinical, financial, and regulatory progress
demonstrates strong delivery on the strategy
-- Focusing on driving near-term value creation and establishing
a self-sustaining business over the long term, with the goal of
bringing innovative medicines to patients around the world.
-- Significant progress towards bringing medicines to patients
outside China through global partnerships: closed fruquintinib
license agreement with Takeda ([1]) in March, which can potentially
bring in up to $1.13 billion in payments including $400 million
upfront payment received, plus royalties on net sales.
Product & pipeline: fruquintinib advancing to global
launches, with continued progress across portfolio
-- NDA ([2]) for fruquintinib granted priority review by the
U.S. FDA ([3]) , with a PDUFA ([4]) goal date of November 30, 2023
. Takeda preparing for fruquintinib launches worldwide with MAA
([5]) validated by the EMA ([6]) in June and the Japan NDA
submission planned this year. Global regulatory filings supported
by results from FRESCO-2, recently published in The Lancet, and
data from FRESCO.
-- Fruquintinib NDA for second-line gastric cancer accepted in
China , where fruquintinib is available and reimbursed under the
brand name ELUNATE(R) for the treatment of metastatic CRC ([7]) ;
Breakthrough Therapy Designation in endometrial cancer .
-- All three HUTCHMED medicines marketed in China now included in the NRDL ([8]) .
-- Registration study readouts expected in the second half for
two potential new medicines in China , sovleplenib and amdizalisib.
New registration studies initiated for savolitinib in gastric
cancer and HMPL--453 for IHCC ([9]) ; over 15 registration studies
ongoing , across seven drug candidates.
-- Productive discovery research continues , with another novel
drug candidate in clinical development (SHP2 ([10]) inhibitor
HMPL-415).
Financial: HUTCHMED remains on track to become self-sustaining
in 2025
-- Total revenues up 164% (173% at CER ([11]) ) to $532.9
million for the first half of 2023, with Oncology/Immunology
consolidated revenues up 294% (301% at CER) to $359.2 million.
-- Strategy has allowed HUTCHMED to conserve cash and
significantly reduce costs, with a substantial cash balance of $856
.2 million on June 30, 2023 including $400 million received from
Takeda.
-- $258.7 million of the Takeda upfront payment recognized as
revenue in the first half of 2023, resulting in net income of
$168.6 million; we expect to recognize approximately $280 million
of this payment for the full year.
-- R&D ([12]) expenses decreased primarily due to our
portfolio optimization efforts, while the reduction in SG&A
expenses ([13]) was mainly due to decreased administrative expenses
after restructuring our U.S. operations.
2023 Interim Results & Business Updates
Mr Simon To, Executive Chairman of HUTCHMED, said, "The first
half of 2023 has been successful for HUTCHMED. In late 2022, we
announced our pipeline prioritization plan and intention to seek
global partners to bring our medicines to help patients outside of
China. Six months later, this strategy is already delivering
significant results to our operations. We are successfully
navigating the current challenging capital markets, while making
significant progress towards our goal of becoming a
self-sustaining, truly global biopharma company. Crucially, it
means that we are well positioned to reach more patients than ever
with our medicines."
"In March, we closed a licensing deal for fruquintinib with
Takeda and we are confident that they have the commitment,
expertise, and commercial infrastructure to successfully roll out
this innovative medicine to patients across the globe. The FDA
Priority Review PDUFA date for fruquintinib is now set for November
30 this year, reflecting its potential to deliver significant
improvement over currently available treatments."
Dr Weiguo Su, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific
Officer of HUTCHMED, said, "With the sharpening of our goals and
priorities, we now have more resources to advance our assets and
drive near-term value, and we are pleased to report on the
important progress made so far this year. We have over 15
registration/registration-intent studies ongoing with seven drug
candidates. Alongside this, our team has presented data at a number
of leading medical conferences, including AACR ([14]) , ASCO ([15])
, ASCO GI ([16]) , EHA ([17]) and ICML ([18]) , showcasing the
productivity of our world class R&D engine. Furthermore,
commercial performance has remained strong this year, with robust
sales growth of our in-house developed oncology products in China.
All three marketed medicines are now included on the NRDL, in line
with our commitment to patient access. Moreover, our strategy means
we are in a strong financial position as we look to continue
developing our clinical programs. We started the second half of
2023 with $856 million in cash resources, including the $400
million received from Takeda."
"HUTCHMED is now well placed for further successful product
launches and life cycle extensions. In particular, we look forward
to continuing the positive momentum with fruquintinib regulatory
reviews around the world, and readouts from our registration
studies for sovleplenib and amdizalisib later this year. As the
last six months have shown, HUTCHMED clearly has the right
strategy, leadership team, and vision to become a truly global
biopharma, and I am confident that HUTCHMED will continue to
deliver on this potential."
I. COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS
Total revenues increased 164% (173% at CER) to $ 532.9 million
in the first half of 2023 (H1-22: $202.0m), driven by
Oncology/Immunology partnering, its strong commercial progress in
China, and growth in third-party distribution sales.
Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenues were up 294% (301% at
CER) to $359.2 million (H1-22: $91.1m); driven by recognition of
$258.7 million in partnering revenue for the upfront payment from
Takeda, and our strong product sales growth resulting from
in-market sales ([19]) up 16% (25% at CER) to $101.3 million
(H1--22: $87.4m);
-- ELUNATE(R) (fruquintinib) in-market sales in the first half
of 2023 increased 12% (20% at CER) to $56.3 million (H1-22:
$50.4m), reflecting its continued lead in market share;
-- SULANDA(R) (surufatinib) in-market sales in the first half of
2023 increased 66% (79% at CER) to $22.6 million (H1-22: $13.6m),
reflecting the build-up in patients on treatment over 18 months on
the NRDL;
-- ORPATHYS(R) (savolitinib) in-market sales in the first half
of 2023 decreased 5% (increased 2% at CER) to $22.0 million (H1-22:
$23.3m). Sales in the first quarter were impacted by customary
channel fluctuations ahead of its NRDL inclusion on March 1,
subsequently followed by an increase in sales volume, with the
second quarter of 2023 up 84% compared to the second quarter of
2022;
-- R&D services income up 62% (66% at CER) to $20.4 million
(H1-22: $12.6m), now also including fees from our new partner
Takeda for the management of regulatory activities;
-- Takeda upfront payment of $400.0 million received, of which
$250.1 million (62%) attributable to the license was recognized
immediately. The remaining balance will be recognized when ongoing
services and performance obligations are completed. Up to June
2023, we have recognized an aggregate of $258.7 million to revenue
and expect around $280 million by year end; and
-- Successful management of commercial operations to expand
coverage of oncology hospitals and physicians despite challenges of
pandemic-related disruptions around the start of the year.

IV. COLLABORATION UPDATES
Closed Exclusive Worldwide License to Takeda for Fruquintinib
Outside China
-- Takeda is responsible for development, manufacturing and
commercialization in all indications and territories outside of
mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau; and
-- HUTCHMED is eligible to receive up to $1.13 billion,
including the $400 million upfront received in April 2023, and up
to $730 million in additional potential payments relating to
regulatory, development and commercial sales milestones, as well as
royalties on net sales.
Further clinical progress by Inmagene with two candidates
discovered by HUTCHMED
-- Inmagene initiating a global, Phase II trial in adults with
moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis with IMG-007 , an anti-OX40
antibody. It was safe and well-tolerated in the completed Phase I
study with no reports of pyrexia or chills, which are common
adverse events of rocatinlimab, another anti-OX40 treatment.
-- Inmagene completed a Phase I study with IMG-004 , a
reversible, non-covalent, highly selective oral BTK inhibitor
designed to target immunological diseases. IMG-004 was safe and
well-tolerated in this single-ascending-dose study, with a long
half-life and sustained pharmacodynamic effects that are well above
others in its class.
V. OTHER VENTURES
Other Ventures include our profitable prescription drug
marketing and distribution platforms
-- Other Ventures consolidated revenues increased by 57% (67% at
CER) to $173.7 million (H1-22: $110.9m);
-- SHPL ([43]) non-consolidated joint venture revenues increased
by 11% (19% at CER) to $235.3 million (H1-22: $212.4m);
-- Consolidated net income attributable to HUTCHMED from our
Other Ventures increased by 5% (12% at CER) to $37.2 million
(H1-22: $35.4m), which was primarily due to the net income
contributed from SHPL of $35.1 million (H1-22: $33.6m); and
-- We are exploring opportunities to monetize the underlying
value of our SHPL joint venture including various divestment and
equity capital market alternatives.
VI. IMPACT OF COVID-19
While restrictive measures related to COVID-19 were gradually
lifted in China starting from December 2022, COV D-19 had some
impact on our research, clinical studies and our commercial
activities in the first months of 2023. Measures were put in place
to reduce the impact and, in the second quarter of 2023, these
activities normalized.
VII. SUSTAINABILITY
At HUTCHMED, we are committed to a progressive journey as we
continue to grow. This includes embedding sustainability into all
aspects of our operations and creating long-term value for our
stakeholders, including our staff, our communities and our
shareholders. In April 2023, we published our 2022 Sustainability
Report alongside our 2022 Annual Report. This year we continue to
make progress in line with the commitments and outcomes outlined in
the report, including achieving satisfactory progress to date
towards the 11 short- to long-term sustainability goals and targets
and following the recommended disclosure framework of the Task
Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in line with
the risks assessment. In the second half of 2023, we continue
enhancing our climate risks action by conducting scope 3 emissions
screening, introducing a digital data collection platform, and
further strengthening our sustainability-related disclosures.
Financial Highlights
Foreign exchange impact : The RMB depreciated against the U.S.
dollar on average by approximately 7% during the six months ended
June 30, 2023, which has impacted our consolidated financial
results as highlighted below.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments were $856.2
million as of June 30, 2023 compared to $631.0 million as of
December 31, 2022.
-- Adjusted Group (non-GAAP ([44]) ) net cash flows excluding
financing activities in the first half of 2023 were $219.3 million
(H1-22: -$110.9m) mainly due to receipt of a $400 million payment
from Takeda; and
-- Net cash generated from financing activities in the first
half of 2023 totaled $5.8 million mainly due to the proceeds of
bank borrowings (H1-22: net cash used in financing activities of
$74.6m mainly due to the repayment of bank borrowings and purchases
of ADSs ([45]) by a trustee for the settlement of equity
awards).
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $532.9
million compared to $202.0 million in the six months ended June 30,
2022.
-- Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenues increased 294 %
(301% at CER) to $359.2 million (H1--22: $91.1m) resulting
from:
-- ELUNATE(R) revenues increased 16% (25% at CER) to $42.0
million (H1-22: $36.0m) due to continued market share gain,
comprising of manufacturing revenues, promotion and marketing
service revenues and royalties;
-- SULANDA(R) revenues increased 66% (79% at CER) to $22.6
million (H1-22: $13.6m) from our continuing marketing activities,
increasing patient access after inclusion on the NRDL in January
2022 and long duration of treatment;
-- ORPATHYS(R) revenues increased 10% (17% at CER) to $15.1
million (H1-22: $13.8m) after inclusion in the NRDL effective from
March 2023 and comprises of manufacturing revenues and
royalties;
-- TAZVERIK(R) revenues were $0.4 million (H1-22: $0.1m) from
further sales in the Hainan Pilot Zone;
-- Partnering revenue of $258.7 million was the first half
recognized portion of the $400 million upfront payment from Takeda;
and
-- Other R&D services income of $20.4 million (H1-22:
$12.6m), primarily related to fees from AstraZeneca, Lilly and
Takeda for the management of development and regulatory
activities.
-- Other Ventures consolidated revenues increased 57% (67% at
CER) to $173.7 million (H1-22: $110.9m), mainly due to higher sales
of prescription drugs. This excludes 11% (19% at CER) growth in
non-consolidated revenues at SHPL of $235.3 million (H1-22:
$212.4m).
Net Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $364.3
million compared to $364.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2022.
-- Costs of Revenues increased by 52% to $208.3 million (H1-22:
$137.3m), of which cost of revenues from our Other Ventures
increased by 63% to $164.8 million (H1-22: $101.0m) due to the
increasing sales of third-party prescription drug products, and
cost of revenues from Oncology/Immunology increased by 20% to $43.5
million (H1-22: $36.3m) due to the increasing sales of ELUNATE(R) ,
SULANDA(R) and ORPATHYS(R) ;
-- R&D Expenses reduced 20% to $144.6 million (H1-22:
$181.7m), mainly as a result of the strategic prioritization of our
pipeline. Our international clinical and regulatory operations in
the U.S. and Europe incurred expenses of $55.6 million (H1-22:
$83.6m), while R&D expenses in China were $89.0 million
(H1--22: $98.1m);
-- SG&A Expenses were $68.3 million (H1-22: $79.8m), which
decreased primarily due to the restructuring of our U.S.
Oncology/Immunology commercial operations at the end of 2022 while
our China commercial infrastructure was able to support further
revenue growth; and
-- Other Items generated net income of $56.9 million (H1-22:
$33.9m), which increased primarily due to higher interest income
earned after receiving the $400 million Takeda upfront payment in
April 2023 and foreign currency exchange gains.
Net Income attributable to HUTCHMED for the six months ended
June 30, 2023 was $168.6 million (which include $258.7 million of
the upfront payment recognized from Takeda) compared to Net Loss
attributable to HUTCHMED of $162.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2022.
-- The net income attributable to HUTCHMED for the six months
ended June 30, 2023 was $0.20 per ordinary share / $1.00 per ADS,
compared to net loss attributable to HUTCHMED of $0.19 per ordinary
share / $0.96 per ADS for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

OPERATIONS REVIEW
Oncology/Immunology
We discover, develop, manufacture and market targeted therapies
and immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and immunological
diseases through a fully integrated team of approximately 900
scientists and staff (December 31, 2022: 960), and an in-house
oncology commercial organization of over 900 staff (December 31,
2022: 870).
We have 13 oncology drug candidates in clinical trials in China,
with four also in active clinical development in the U.S. and
Europe. Our three medicines, fruquintinib, surufatinib and
savolitinib, have all been approved and launched in China and the
fourth, tazemetostat, has been approved and launched in Hainan
Pilot Zone and Macau, and submitted for registration in Hong
Kong.
MARKETED PRODUCT SALES
Despite some initial challenges in the first quarter of the year
due to the impact of COVID-19 in China, in-market sales of
HUTCHMED's novel oncology products continued to grow at 16% (25% at
CER) to $101.3 million (H1--22: $87.4m) in the first half of
2023.
Fruquintinib (ELUNATE(R) in China)
ELUNATE(R) is approved for the treatment of third-line
metastatic CRC for which there is an approximate incidence of
105,000 new patients per year in China. We estimate that in the
first half of 2023, approximately 17,000 (H1 2022: approximately
14,000) new patients were treated with ELUNATE(R) in China, despite
some challenges in the first quarter of the year due to the impact
of COVID-19. ELUNATE(R) surpassed regorafenib in prescription
numbers for late-stage CRC at the end of 2021, and that lead grew
to an approximately 47% market share at the end of June 2023. This
resulted in in-market sales of $56.3 million, up 12% (20% at CER)
versus the first half of 2022 ($50.4 million).
Under the terms of our agreement with Lilly, HUTCHMED manages
all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and
regional marketing activities for ELUNATE(R) in China. We
consolidate as revenues approximately 70-80% of ELUNATE(R)
in-market sales from manufacturing fees, service fees and royalties
paid to us by Lilly. In the first half of 2023, we consolidated
$42.0 million in revenue for ELUNATE(R) , equal to 75% of in-market
sales. Our commercial team continues to be highly active,
celebrating ELUNATE(R) 's fifth year since it was approved and
adding a further 112 (+17%) new hospital pharmacy listings in the
first half of 2023.
ELUNATE(R) continues to be included in the NRDL in 2023.
Negotiations with the China NHSA ([47]) to renew its inclusion
beyond 2023 are expected to take place in the second half of this
year. The new NHSA NRDL price determination scheme was published in
July 2023, indicating medicines that already have reimbursement
coverage will go through a simplified renewal/renegotiation process
with limited further price discount, particularly for products that
have been reimbursed for at least four years, such as ELUNATE(R)
.
Outside of China, fruquintinib will be marketed by our partner
Takeda. In the U.S., commercial preparations are ongoing by Takeda
to be ready for launch once U.S. approval is granted.
Surufatinib (SULANDA(R) in China)
SULANDA(R) was launched in China in 2021 for the treatment of
all advanced NETs ([48]) for which there is an approximate
incidence of 34,000 new patients per year in China. In the first
half of 2023, approximately 12,000 new patients were treated with
SULANDA(R) , compared to the approximately 12,000 new patients in
2022. The two older therapies for advanced NETs approved and NRDL
reimbursed in China, SUTENT(R) and AFINITOR(R) , were approved in
2012 and 2014, respectively. In the first quarter of 2023,
SULANDA(R) had the leading share of the market at approximately
17%, compared to SUTENT and AFINITOR at 13% and 11%,
respectively.
Sales growth in 2022 was strong, being the first year in which
SULANDA(R) had been listed on the NRDL. As a result of our
continued marketing activities, increasing patient access to
SULANDA(R) and its long duration of treatment, total sales in the
first half of 2023 accelerated, growing by 66% (79% at CER) to
$22.6 million (H1-22: $13.6 million). Our commercial team added a
further 103 (+19%) new hospital pharmacy listings in the first half
of 2023.
Savolitinib (ORPATHYS(R) in China)
ORPATHYS(R) is the first-in-class selective MET inhibitor to be
approved in China, launched and marketed by our partner,
AstraZeneca for patients with MET exon 14 skipping alteration
NSCLC. More than a third of the world's lung cancer patients are in
China. Among those with NSCLC globally, approximately 2-3% have
tumors with MET exon 14 skipping alterations.
In 2021, 2022 and the first two months of 2023, ORPATHYS(R) was
sold as a self-pay drug. Following negotiations with the China NHSA
in January 2023, ORPATHYS(R) has been included in the updated NRDL
since March 1, 2023 at a 38% discount relative to the self-pay
price, broadening patient access to this medicine. Sales during the
first half of 2023 were impacted by customary channel fluctuations
following the announcement (in January 2023) and implementation of
the NRDL listing (in March 2023), with increased volume in the
latter part of the first half of 2023. In-market sales for
ORPATHYS(R) fell 5% (increased 2% at CER) in the first half of 2023
to $22.0 million (H1-22: $23.3m) resulting in our consolidation of
$15.1 million (H1-22: $13.8m) in revenues from manufacturing fees
and royalties. Sales in the second quarter of 2023 were
substantially higher than in the second quarter of 2022 before NRDL
listing, increasing 84% by volume.
Market understanding of the need for MET testing has improved
significantly, with approximately half of new advanced/relapsed
NSCLC patients in China being tested. In the National Health
Commission's Treatment Guidelines for Primary Lung Cancer 2022 and
the China Medical Association Oncology Committee Lung Cancer
Group's China Medical Association Guideline for Clinical Diagnosis
and Treatment of Lung Cancer , ORPATHYS(R) was identified as the
only targeted therapy recommended for MET exon 14 patients, while a
similar guideline from CSCO ([49]) also recommended ORPATHYS(R) as
the standard of care for such patients. As MET testing awareness
and access increases, more patients are expected to be prescribed a
selective MET inhibitor.
ORPATHYS(R) is the first selective MET inhibitor on the market
in China, representing the majority MET TKI ([50]) sales. Several
selective MET inhibitors are in development in China, but only one
is currently expected to be eligible to enter NRDL negotiations in
late 2023.
In March 2023, ORPATHYS(R) was approved in the Macau Special
Administrative Region.
Tazemetostat (TAZVERIK(R) in Hainan and Macau, China; the U.S.
and Japan)
In May 2022, tazemetostat was approved by the Health Commission
and Medical Products Administration of Hainan Province to be used
in the Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone
(Hainan Pilot Zone), under the Clinically Urgently Needed Imported
Drugs scheme, for the treatment of certain patients with
epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma consistent with the
label as approved by the FDA. Launched in 2013 and located in
China, the Hainan Pilot Zone is a destination for international
medical tourism and global hub for scientific innovation, welcoming
83,900 medical tourists in 2020, according to official data.
Tazemetostat was included in the 2022 CSCO guidelines for
epithelioid sarcoma. 10 epithelioid sarcoma patients began
treatment in the first half of 2023 (H1-22: none). Tazemetostat is
included in 2023 CSCO guideline for follicular lymphoma.
In March 2023, tazemetostat was approved in the Macau Special
Administrative Region. A market authorization application has been
under review in Hong Kong since December 2022.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Our strategy is aimed at accelerating our path to profitability
and establishing a long-term sustainable business, by prioritizing
late-stage and registrational studies in China and partnering
outside of China. Selected out-licensing opportunity candidates,
particularly outside of China, include sovleplenib, surufatinib and
HMPL-306. HUTCHMED intends to continue to run early phase
development programs for selected drug candidates in U.S., E.U. and
Japan where we believe we can differentiate from a global
perspective.
Below is a summary update of the clinical trial progress of our
investigational drug candidates. For more details about each trial,
please refer to our 2022 Annual Report published in April 2023 and
recent scientific publications.
Savolitinib (ORPATHYS(R) in China)
Savolitinib is an oral, potent, and highly selective oral
inhibitor of MET. In global partnership with AstraZeneca,
savolitinib is being studied in NSCLC, PRCC and gastric cancer
clinical trials with about 2,000 patients to date, both as a
monotherapy and in combinations. AstraZeneca has paid HUTCHMED $85
million of the total $140 million in upfront payments, development
and approvals milestones that are potentially payable under the
relevant license and collaboration agreement.

Update on combination therapies in EGFR TKI-resistant NSCLC -
MET-aberration is a major mechanism for acquired resistance to both
first/second-generation EGFR TKIs as well as third-generation EGFR
TKIs like TAGRISSO(R) . Among patients who experience disease
progression post-TAGRISSO(R) treatment, approximately 15-50%
present with MET aberration. The prevalence of MET amplification
and overexpression may differ depending on the sample type,
detection method and assay cut-off used. Savolitinib has been
studied extensively in these patients in the TATTON (NCT02143466)
and SAVANNAH (NCT03778229) studies. The encouraging results led to
the initiation and planning of three Phase III studies: SACHI and
SANOVO were initiated in China in 2021, and the global, pivotal
Phase III SAFFRON study is currently open for enrollment.
The SAVANNAH global Phase II study, in patients who have
progressed following TAGRISSO(R) due to MET amplification or
overexpression, is expected to complete recruitment in the second
half of 2023. In January 2023, the U.S. FDA designated as a Fast
Track development program the investigation of savolitinib for use
in combination with TAGRISSO(R) for the treatment of patients with
locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have MET
overexpression and/or amplification, as detected by an FDA-approved
test, and who have had disease progression during or following
prior TAGRISSO(R) . We continue to evaluate the possibility of
using the SAVANNAH study as the basis for U.S. accelerated
approval.
The SAFFRON study, which will evaluate the efficacy and safety
of savolitinib in combination with TAGRISSO(R) compared to
pemetrexed plus platinum doublet-chemotherapy, has now activated a
majority of the approximately 250 sites in over 20 countries
planned for the study, although enrollment of SAVANNAH is being
prioritized until it is fully enrolled.
Two registrational studies are ongoing in China in EGFR mutated
NSCLC with MET aberrations: the SANOVO study in treatment naïve
patients, and SACHI study in patients whose disease progressed
following treatment with any first-line EGFR TKI. Both trials are
expected to complete enrollment in 2024.
Update on MET altered, EGFR wild type NSCLC in China - The June
2021 monotherapy approval by the NMPA was based on positive results
from a Phase II trial conducted in China in patients with NSCLC
with MET exon 14 skipping alterations (NCT02897479). A confirmatory
study in this patient population fully enrolled in H1 2023
(NCT04923945). Results from the first-line cohort of this study are
accepted for disclosure by WCLC.
Savolitinib - Kidney cancer:
MET is a key genetic driver in papillary RCC , and emerging
evidence suggests that combining immunotherapies with a MET
inhibitor could enhance anti-tumor activity. PRCC is a subtype of
kidney cancer, representing about 15% of patients, with no
treatments approved for patients with tumors that harbor MET-driven
alterations. Savolitinib has been studied in multiple global
studies in PRCC patients, including the SAVOIR monotherapy and
CALYPSO combination therapy global Phase II trials, that both
demonstrated highly encouraging results. These results led to the
initiation of a global Phase III, the SAMETA study, in 2021. Over
140 sites in over 20 countries are enrolling patients.

savolitinib in kidney cancer patients.

Savolitinib - Gastric cancer:
MET-driven gastric cancer has a very poor prognosis. Multiple
Phase II studies have been conducted in Asia to study savolitinib
in MET-driven gastric cancer, of which approximately 5% of all
gastric cancer patients, demonstrated promising efficacy, including
VIKTORY. The VIKTORY study reported a 50% ORR ([53]) with

Preliminary efficacy and safety data from an interim analysis of
20 patients in a Phase II trial of savolitinib monotherapy in
patients with MET-amplified advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal
junction adeno-carcinomas or gastric cancer was reported at AACR
2023, showing promising efficacy in patients with MET-amplified
diseases, particularly in patients with high MET gene copy number.
Confirmed ORR by independent review was 45%, or 50% in the 16
patients with high MET gene copy number. Duration of response rate
at 4-months was 85.7%. The most common grade 3 or above TRAEs (more
than 5%) were decreased platelet count, hypersensitivity, anemia,
neutropenia and abnormal hepatic function. The BID regimen is being
investigated to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of
savolitinib in MET high patients. Following consultation with the
NMPA with this data, a patient registration cohort began enrolling
in March 2023.
Fruquintinib (ELUNATE(R) in China)
Fruquintinib is a novel, selective, oral inhibitor of VEGFR
1/2/3 kinases that was designed to improve kinase selectivity to
minimize off-target toxicity and thereby improve efficacy and
tolerability. Fruquintinib has been studied in clinical trials with
about 5,500 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in
combination with other agents.
Aside from its first approved indication of third-line CRC (in
China), studies of fruquintinib combined with various checkpoint
inhibitors (including TYVYT(R) and tislelizumab) are underway.
Registration-intent studies combined with chemotherapy (FRUTIGA
study in gastric cancer) or checkpoint inhibitors (TYVYT(R) combo,
in endometrial cancer and RCC) are ongoing in China.
We are partnered with Lilly in China and with Takeda outside of

Fruquintinib - CRC updates:
FRESCO-2 (NCT04322539) - Positive results from this
double-blind, placebo-controlled, global Phase III study in 691
patients with refractory metastatic CRC were presented at ESMO 2022
and subsequently published in The Lancet . The study demonstrated
that treatment with fruquintinib resulted in a statistically
significant and clinically meaningful increase in OS and the key
secondary endpoint of PFS ([59]) compared to treatment with
placebo. The safety profile of fruquintinib in FRESCO-2 was
consistent with previously reported fruquintinib studies.
Further analyses presented at ASCO GI and ASCO 2023 added to the
understanding of fruquintinib efficacy and safety. At ASCO GI,
results showed that health-related quality of life was not
negatively impacted by treatment with fruquintinib.
ASCO presentations showed that in subgroup analyses by prior
lines of therapies up to six or more and by prior treatment with
approved agents, fruquintinib improved OS and PFS for all subgroups
and prior therapies, consistent with those of the overall study
population. A separate study showed that during the study adverse
events of special interest led to low rates of dose reduction
(13.6% for patients who received fruquintinib vs 0.9% for patients
who received placebo) and dose discontinuation (8.3% for patients
who received fruquintinib vs 6.1% for patients who received
placebo).
Outcomes from the Japanese cohort was presented at JSMO 2023.
Fruquintinib treatment led to results for Japanese patients in the
study consistent with the overall study population.
Filing of a rolling submission of an NDA was accepted by the FDA
in May 2023 for priority review, with PDUFA date of November 30,
2023. MAA filing to the EMA was validated in June 2023. NDA filing
to the PMDA is expected to follow in 2023.
China Phase IV (NCT04005066) - Results presented at ASCO 2023
from a prospective, 3,005-patient study to evaluate the safety of
fruquintinib in real-world clinical practice in China are
consistent with the fruquintinib safety profile observed in
existing clinical studies, with no new or significant safety
signals identified.
Fruquintinib - Gastric cancer updates:
FRUTIGA (NCT03223376) - This randomized, double-blind, Phase III
study in China to evaluate fruquintinib combined with paclitaxel
compared with paclitaxel monotherapy, for second-line treatment of
advanced gastric cancer, enrolled approximately 700 patients in
July 2022. Its co-primary endpoints are PFS and OS. The trial met
the PFS endpoint at a statistically and clinically meaningful
level. The OS endpoint was not statistically significant per the
pre-specified statistical plan, although there was an improvement
in median OS. Fruquintinib also demonstrated a statistically
significant improvement in secondary endpoints including ORR, DCR
([60]) and DoR ([61]) . The safety profile of fruquintinib in
FRUTIGA was consistent with previously reported studies. In April
2023, the NDA in China was accepted for review by the NMPA. Full
detailed results are subject to ongoing analysis and are expected
to be disclosed at an upcoming scientific meeting.
Fruquintinib - Combinations with checkpoint inhibitors
updates:
Advanced endometrial cancer registration-intent cohort of
TYVYT(R) combination (NCT03903705) - Platinum-based systemic
chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for advanced
endometrial cancer in China. However, patients who progress
following first-line therapy have limited treatment options, and
the prognosis remains poor. Initially presented at CSCO 2021, data
in this endometrial cancer cohort is encouraging.
We agreed with the NMPA to expand this cohort into a single-arm
registrational Phase II study. In July 2023, the cohort fully
enrolled and was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation.
Favorable results from this trial could lead to a regulatory
approval application to the NMPA in this treatment setting in
2024.
Advanced metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma
(NCT05522231) - In first-line clear-cell RCC, clinical benefits
have been demonstrated for the combination of antiangiogenic
therapy and immunotherapy. However, there is limited evidence on
the benefits of this combination in the second-line setting. Phase
II (NCT03903705) data disclosed at ASCO 2023 showed encouraging
anti-tumor efficacy and durability in these patients. PFS results
from this exploratory study of the fruquintinib and sintilimab
combination in metastatic clear-cell RCC were reported. At data
cut-off on November 30, 2022, median PFS was 15.9 months in 20
previously treated patients. No new safety signals were
observed.
A Phase II/III trial of fruquintinib in combination with
TYVYT(R) as second-line treatment for locally advanced or
metastatic RCC was initiated in October 2022. The study is a
randomized, open-label, active-controlled study to evaluate the
efficacy and safety of fruquintinib in combination with TYVYT(R)
versus axitinib or everolimus monotherapy for the second-line
treatment of advanced RCC. The primary endpoint is PFS.
Approximately 260 patients will be enrolled in the study.
Fruquintinib - Exploratory development:
In China, we support an investigator initiated trial program for
fruquintinib, and there are over 50 of such trials ongoing in
various solid tumor settings. A number of investigator-initiated
trials were presented at ASCO 2023, including initial results of a
Phase II study of fruquintinib in combination with investigator's
choice of chemotherapy in second-line metastatic CRC with
microsatellite stable (MSS) phenotype, as well as fruquintinib
monotherapy for the treatment of biliary tract cancer and soft
tissue sarcoma.
Fruquintinib - Partnership with Takeda:
In January 2023, HUTCHMED entered into an exclusive worldwide
license to develop and commercialize fruquintinib in all
indications and territories outside of mainland China, Hong Kong
and Macau, where it is marketed and will continue to be marketed by
HUTCHMED in partnership with Lilly. Subject to the terms of the
agreement, HUTCHMED will be eligible to receive up to $1.13
billion, including $400 million which was received in April 2023 on
closing of the agreement, and up to $730 million in additional
potential payments relating to regulatory, development and
commercial sales milestones, as well as royalties on net sales.
Surufatinib (SULANDA(R) in China)
Surufatinib is a novel, oral angio-immuno kinase inhibitor that
selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity associated with
VEGFR and FGFR, both shown to be involved in tumor angiogenesis,
and CSF-1R, which plays a key role in regulating tumor-associated
macrophages, promoting the body's immune response against tumor
cells. Surufatinib has been studied in clinical trials with around
1,800 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in combinations,
and is approved in China. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to
surufatinib worldwide.
Surufatinib's ability to inhibit angiogenesis, block the
accumulation of tumor associated macrophages and promote
infiltration of effector T cells into tumors could help improve the
anti-tumor activity of PD-1 antibodies. Several combination studies
with PD-1 antibodies have shown promising data. A summary of the
clinical studies of surufatinib is shown in the table below.

Surufatinib - Monotherapy in NET updates:
Ex-China regulatory discussions - Surufatinib received FDA Fast
Track Designations in April 2020 for the treatment of pNETs and
epNETs. Orphan Drug Designation for pNETs was granted in November
2019. While discussions in 2020 suggested that two positive Phase
III studies of surufatinib in patients with pNETs and epNETs in
China, could form the basis to support a U.S. NDA submission, this
was ultimately not accepted. A new multi-regional clinical trial
(MRCT) would be required to move forward with this program in the
U.S., Europe and Japan. Following dialogue with the Japanese PMDA,
we have decided not to file a Japanese NDA on the basis of the
clinical trial data available at this time.
Surufatinib - Combination therapy with checkpoint
inhibitors:
A Phase II China study (NCT04169672) combining surufatinib with
TUOYI(R) enrolled patients in nine solid tumor types, including
NENs, biliary tract cancer, gastric cancer, thyroid cancer, SCLC,
soft tissue sarcoma, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer and
NSCLC. These have led to the initiation in September 2021 of the
first Phase III trial combining surufatinib with a PD-1 antibody,
the SURTORI-01 study in NEC and a Phase II study in SCLC in
2022.
We reported the results from the advanced thyroid cancer and
endometrial cancer cohorts at ASCO 2023. Amongst efficacy evaluable
radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer
patients, median PFS was 10.9 months and median OS was not reached
(median follow-up duration was 22.1 months). Amongst efficacy
evaluable endometrial cancer patients, median PFS was 5.4 months
and 12-month OS rate was 71.0% (median follow-up duration was 16.8
months). In both cohorts, the combination showed a tolerable safety
profile. Additionally, results from the NSCLC cohort were presented
at AACR 2023 demonstrating promising anti-tumor activity in
first-line setting for advanced PD-L1 positive NSCLC patients with
manageable toxicity.
Surufatinib - Exploratory development:
In China, we support an investigator-initiated trial program for
surufatinib, with over 80 of such trials in various solid tumor
settings being conducted for both combination and single agent
regimens. These trials explore and answer important medical
questions in addition to our own company-sponsored clinical trials.
A number of investigator initiated trials were presented at ASCO
2023 for surufatinib in combination with other agents, including
with chemotherapy as well as with camrelizumab (an anti-PD-1
antibody) plus different chemotherapy regimens in various solid
types including pancreatic adenocarcinoma and NSCLC.
Hematological Malignancies Candidates
HUTCHMED currently has six investigational drug candidates
targeting hematological malig-nan-cies in clinical development.
Sovleplenib (HMPL-523, targeting Syk), amdizalisib (HMPL-689,
targeting PI3K ), and HMPL--760 (targeting BTK) are being studied
in several trials against B-cell dominant malignancies. In addition
to the three B-cell receptor pathway inhibitors, HUTCHMED is also
develop-ing HMPL-306 (targeting IDH1 and IDH2), tazemetostat (a
methyl-trans-ferase inhibitor of EZH2) and HMPL-A83 (an anti-CD47
monoclonal antibody).
Sovleplenib (HMPL-523)
Sovleplenib is a novel, selective, oral inhibitor targeting Syk,
for the treatment of hematological malignancies and immune
diseases. Syk is a component in Fc receptor and B-cell receptor
signaling pathway. Sovleplenib has been studied in clinical trials
with around 500 patients to date.
In December 2022, we completed recruitment of a Phase III study
in China for primary ITP, for which it has received Breakthrough
Therapy Designation, and presented proof of concept data on both
primary ITP and hematological malignancies at ASH ([67]) 2021.
HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to sovleplenib worldwide. The
table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for
sovleplenib.

ESLIM-01 (Evaluation of Sovleplenib for immunological
diseases-01, NCT05029635) - In October 2021, we initiated a
randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase III trial in
China of sovleplenib in 188 adult patients with primary ITP who
have received at least one prior line of standard therapy. ITP is
an autoimmune disorder that can lead to increased risk of bleeding.
The primary endpoint of the study is the durable response rate. In
January 2022, the NMPA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for
this indication. Enrollment was completed in December 2022 and we
expect to release topline results in the second half of 2023.
China Phase II/III in warm AIHA - This is a randomized,
double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II/III study to evaluate the
efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of sovleplenib
in the treatment of warm AIHA. AIHA is the result of destruction of
red blood cells due to the production of antibodies against red
blood cells which bind to antigens on the red blood cell membrane
in autoimmune disorders. If the results of the Phase II stage of
the study indicate sufficiently satisfactory efficacy and safety,
the Phase III stage will be initiated. The first patient was
enrolled in September 2022. The enrollment of Phase II part of the
study was completed in mid-2023, and the results will lead to a
decision on whether to initiate Phase III.
Amdizalisib (HMPL-689)
Amdizalisib is a novel, highly selective oral inhibitor
targeting the isoform PI3K , a key component in the B-cell receptor
signaling pathway. Amdizalisib's pharmacokinetic properties have
been found to be favorable with good oral absorption, moderate
tissue distribution and low clearance in preclinical studies. We
also expect that amdizalisib will have low risk of drug
accumulation and drug-drug interactions, supporting feasibility of
development in combination with other drugs. The first of such
activities is in combination with tazemetostat. Amdizalisib has
been studied in clinical trials with around 400 patients to date.
HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to amdizalisib worldwide. The

Phase II registration-intent trial (NCT04849351) - In April
2021, we commenced a registration-intent, single-arm, open-label
Phase II trial in China in approximately 100 patients with
relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and approximately 80
patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma, two
subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The primary endpoint is ORR.
The trial is being conducted in over 35 sites in China, has fully
enrolled the follicular lymphoma cohort and the marginal zone
lymphoma cohort enrollment is ongoing.
Phase Ib expansion study in relapsed/refractory lymphoma
(NCT03128164) - This is a open--label study to evaluate the safety,
tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of
amdizalisib in relapsed and/or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma
patients. Updated safety data in all patients at recommended Phase
II dose (RP2D), as well as updated efficacy data from the
follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma
and peripheral T cell lymphoma cohorts were reported at ICML in
June 2023. At median follow-up duration of 22.1 months, median DoR
and PFS were not reached for the 26 efficacy evaluable patients in
the follicular lymphoma cohort. PFS and DoR from the marginal zone
lymphoma cohort were presented for the first time, at median
follow-up duration of 20.3 months. Median DoR was not reached and
median PFS was 26.8 months for the 16 efficacy evaluable patients
in this cohort. Amdizalisib showed an acceptable safety profile and
promising anti-tumor activity in relapsed/refractory lymphoma.
Tazemetostat
In August 2021, we entered into a strategic collaboration with
Epizyme, a subsidiary of Ipsen, to research, develop, manufacture
and commercialize tazemetostat in Greater China, including the
mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Tazemetostat is an inhibitor
of EZH2 developed by Ipsen that is approved by the U.S. FDA for the
treatment of certain epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma
patients. It received accelerated approval from the FDA based on
ORR and DoR in January and June 2020 for epithelioid sarcoma and
follicular lymphoma, respectively. Tazemetostat has been studied in
clinical trials with around 1,200 patients to date.
We are developing and plan to seek approval for tazemetostat in
various hematological and solid tumors in China. We are
participating in Ipsen's SYMPHONY-1 (EZH-302) study, leading it in
China. We are generally responsible for funding all clinical trials
of tazemetostat in China, including the portion of global trials
conducted there. Separately, we are conducting a China bridging
study in follicular lymphoma for potential conditional registration
based on its U.S. approvals. We also initiated a Phase II study in
combination with our PI3K inhibitor amdizalisib in patients with
relapsed or refractory lymphoma in February 2023. We are
responsible for the research, manufacturing and commercialization
of tazemetostat in China. Tazemetostat was approved in China Hainan

HMPL-453
HMPL-453 is a novel, selective, oral inhibitor targeting FGFR
1/2/3. Aberrant FGFR signaling is associated with tumor growth,
promotion of angiogenesis, as well as resistance to anti-tumor
therapies. Approximately 10-15% of IHCC patients have tumors
harboring FGFR2 fusion. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to

annual meeting, supporting the choice of a recommended Phase II
dose. After consultation with the CDE, a monotherapy registration
trial design was agreed, and the first patient was enrolled in
March 2023.
HMPL-306
HMPL-306 is a novel dual-inhibitor of IDH1 and IDH2 enzymes.
IDH1 and IDH2 mutations have been implicated as drivers of certain
hematological malignancies, gliomas and solid tumors, particularly
among acute myeloid leukemia patients. HUTCHMED currently retains

harboring IDH1 and/or IDH2 mutations. The dose escalation phase of
the study is completed. The first-in-human dose-escalation phase
data was presented at EHA Annual Meeting in June 2023. Based on the
pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and preliminary clinical findings,
a recommended Phase II dose was nominated for the dose expansion
phase of the study.
HMPL-760
HMPL-760 is an investigational, non-covalent, third-generation
BTK inhibitor. It is a highly potent, selective, and reversible
inhibitor with long target engagement against BTK, including
wild-type and C481S-mutated BTK. China Phase I studies opened in
early 2022 will include relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma or CLL ([69]) patients with or without a prior regimen
containing a BTK inhibitor. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights

HMPL-295
HMPL-295 is a novel ERK inhibitor. ERK is a downstream component
of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling cascade (MAPK pathway). This is
our first of multiple candidates in discovery targeting the MAPK
pathway, followed by HMPL-415 targeting SHP2. A China Phase I study
was initiated in July 2021 for HMPL-295. HUTCHMED currently retains
all rights to HMPL-295 worldwide.
RAS-MAPK pathway is dysregulated in cancer, in which mutations
or non-genetic events hyper-activate the pathway in up to 50% of
cancers. RAS and RAF predict worse clinical prognosis in a wide
variety of tumor types, mediate resistance to targeted therapies,
and decrease the response to the approved standards of care,
namely, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. ERK inhibition has the
potential to overcome or avoid the intrinsic or acquired resistance
from the inhibition of RAS, RAF and MEK upstream mechanisms.

HMPL-653
HMPL-653 is a novel, highly selective, and potent CSF-1R
inhibitor designed to target CSF-1R driven tumors as a monotherapy
or in combination with other drugs. We initiated a China Phase I
study in January 2022. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to
HMPL-653 worldwide.
CSF-1R is usually expressed on the surface of macrophages and
can promote growth and differentiation of macrophages. Studies have
shown that blocking the CSF-1R signaling pathway could effectively
modulate the tumor microenvironment, relieve tumor
immunosuppression, and synergize with other anti-cancer therapies
such as immune checkpoint inhibitors to achieve tumor inhibition.
It has been demonstrated in several clinical studies that CSF-1R
inhibitors could treat tenosynovial giant cell tumors, and treat a
variety of malignancies in combinations. Currently no CSF-1R

HMPL-A83
HMPL-A83 is an investigational IgG4-type humanized anti-CD47
monoclonal antibody that exhibits high affinity for CD47. HMPL-A83
blocks CD47 binding to Signal regulatory protein (SIRP)
<ALPHA> and disrupts the "do not eat me" signal that cancer
cells use to shield themselves from the immune system. In
preclinical studies, HMPL --A83 demonstrated a high affinity for
CD47 antigen on tumor cells and strong phagocytosis induction of
multiple tumor cells, as well as weak affinity for red blood cells
and no induction of hemagglutination, implying low risk of anemia,
a potential event of special interest. HMPL-A83 has also
demonstrated strong anti-tumor activity in multiple animal models.
HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to HMPL-A83 worldwide.

HMPL-415
HMPL-415 is a novel SHP2 allosteric inhibitor. A China Phase I
study was initiated in July 2023. HUTCHMED currently retains all
rights to HMPL-415 worldwide.
SHP2 is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase ubiquitously
expressed mainly in the cytoplasm of several tissues. SHP2
modulates diverse cell signaling events that control metabolism,
cell growth, differentiation, cell migration, transcription and
oncogenic transformation. It interacts with diverse molecules in
the cell, and regulates key signaling events including RAS/ERK,
PI3K/AKT, JAK/STAT and PD-1 pathways downstream of several receptor
tyrosine kinases (RTKs) upon stimulation by growth factors and
cytokines. This is the second of multiple candidates to have
emerged from our discovery research that targets this pathway, the
first being HMPL-295. Dysregulation of SHP2 expression or activity
causes many developmental diseases, and hematological and solid
tumors.

IMG-007 in atopic dermatitis - This is a novel antagonistic
monoclonal antibody targeting the OX40 receptor. OX40 is a
costimulatory receptor member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor
(TNFR) superfamily expressed predominantly on activated T cells. A
global, proof-of-concept trial in adult patients with
moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis is open for enrollment. This
follows a Phase I single ascending dose study in healthy volunteers
that demonstrated that IMG-007, up to 600 mg, was safe and
well-tolerated, with no reports of pyrexia or chills, which were
common adverse events of rocatinlimab, another OX40 antibody
treatment. At projected therapeutic dose levels, IMG-007 also
demonstrated a mean terminal half-life of 31-37 days. The long
half-life combined with a potentially improved safety profile
supports IMG-007's best-in-class potential as an OX40 targeted
therapy.
IMG-004 in immunological diseases - This is a small molecule
inhibitor that binds to BTK in a non-covalent, reversible manner.
Designed specifically for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that
usually require long-term treatment, IMG-004 is potent, highly
selective and brain permeable. A Phase I single ascending dose
study in healthy volunteers in the U.S., initiated in August 2022,
has recently completed. It showed that IMG--004 was safe and
well-tolerated with a long half-life and sustained pharmacodynamic
effects, supporting further clinical development. Results will be
submitted to an upcoming medical conference.
MANUFACTURING
We continue to use contract manufacturing organizations in China
to produce our clinical and commercial API ([71]) supplies. For
manufacturing drug products, we currently use a combination of
contract manufacturers and our internal manufacturing facility.
We have a drug product facility in Suzhou which manufactures
both clinical and commercial supplies for some of our products. We
have also completed construction of a new drug product facility in
Pudong, Shanghai, which will increase our novel drug product
manufacturing capacity by over five times. The qualification of the
Shanghai facility and its equipment is underway and is expected to
be completed in the second half of 2023. The clinical manufacturing
and technology transfer for some of our commercial products is
expected to start in the next few months. This is in line with our
previously outlined expectations of manufacturing clinical supplies
from the new facility starting in 2023 and commercial supplies
around 2025, after the necessary regulatory filings and
approvals.
We completed technology transfer for the API and drug product of
amdizalisib and sovleplenib into the selected commercial
manufacturing facilities in preparation for potential NDA filings.
Process validation for these products (both API and drug product)
are now complete.
We completed the NDA enabling work related to manufacturing for
the global launch of fruquintinib at the commercial manufacturing
sites. Process validation for API of this product was completed
last year, and process validation for drug product at our Suzhou
facility was completed earlier this year. A second drug product
facility in Switzerland is also planned to be qualified in the
second half of 2023, in anticipation for a potential European
approval.
OTHER VENTURES
Our Other Ventures include drug marketing and distribution
platforms covering about 290 cities and towns in China with over
3,000 mainly manufacturing and commercial personnel. Built over the
past 20 years, it primarily focuses on prescription drugs and
science-based nutrition products through several joint ventures and
subsidiary companies.
In the first six months of 2023, our Other Ventures delivered
encouraging growth with consolidated revenues up 57% (67% at CER)
to $173.7 million (H1-22: $110.9m). Consolidated net income
attributable to HUTCHMED from our Other Ventures increased by 5%
(12% at CER) to $37.2 million (H1-22: $35.4m).
Hutchison Sinopharm ([72]) : Our prescription drugs commercial
services business, which in addition to providing certain
commercial services for our own products, provides services to
third-party pharmaceutical companies in China, grew sales by 68%
(79% at CER) to $166.7 million in the first half of 2023 (H1-22:
$99.3m).
In 2021, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre made a
final award in favor of Hutchison Sinopharm against Luye ([73]) in
the amount of RMB253.2 million ($35.4 million), plus costs and
interest (the "Award"), in connection with the termination of
Hutchison Sinopharm's right to distribute SEROQUEL(R) in China. In
June 2022, Luye provided a bank guarantee of up to RMB286.0 million
to cover the Award, pending the outcome of an application by Luye
to the High Court of Hong Kong to set aside the Award. On July 26,
2022, Luye's application to set aside the Award was dismissed by
the High Court with costs awarded in favor of Hutchison Sinopharm.
On June 6, 2023, an appeal hearing filed by Luye was heard by the
Court of Appeal in Hong Kong and judgement is awaited.
SHPL: Our own-brand prescription drugs business, operated
through our non-consolidated joint venture SHPL, grew sales by 11%
(19% at CER) to $235.3 million (H1-22: $212.4m). This sales growth
and favorable product mix led to an increase of 5% (12% at CER) in
net income attributable to HUTCHMED to $35.1 million (H1-22:
$33.6m).
The SHPL operation is large-scale, with a commercial team of
about 2,300 staff managing the medical detailing and marketing of
its products not just in hospitals in provincial capitals and
medium-sized cities, but also in the majority of county-level
hospitals in China. SHPL's Good Manufacturing Practice-certified
factory holds 74 drug product manufacturing licenses and is
operated by about 550 manufacturing staff.
SXBX ([74]) pill : SHPL's main product is SXBX pill, an oral
vasodilator prescription therapy for coronary artery disease. SXBX
pill is the second largest botanical prescription drug in this
indication in China, with a national market share in the first five
months of 2023 of 22.2% (first four months of 2022: 21.5%). Sales
increased by 8% (16% at CER) to $214.5 million in the first half of
2023 (H1-22: $197.9m).
SXBX pill is protected by a formulation patent that expires in
2029, but also retains certain state protection that extends
indefinitely, and is one of less than two dozen proprietary
prescription drugs represented on China's National Essential
Medicines List (NEML). Inclusion on this list means that all
Chinese state-owned health care institutions are required to carry
it. SXBX pill is fully reimbursed in all of China.
We continue to explore divestment and equity capital market
opportunities to monetize our investment in SHPL.
Dividends: Our share of SHPL's profits are passed to the
HUTCHMED Group through dividend payments. In the first six months
of 2023, dividends of $14.6 million (H1-22: $22.7m) were paid from
SHPL to the HUTCHMED Group level with aggregate dividends received
by HUTCHMED since inception of over $300 million.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION
In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, this announcement also contains certain non-GAAP
financial measures based on management's view of performance
including:
-- Adjusted Group net cash flows excluding financing activities
-- CER
Management uses such measures internally for planning and
forecasting purposes and to measure the HUTCHMED Group's overall
performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures provide
useful and meaningful information to us and investors because they
enhance investors' understanding of the continuing operating
performance of our business and facilitate the comparison of
performance between past and future periods. These adjusted
financial measures are non-GAAP measures and should be considered
in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies may define
these measures in different ways.
Adjusted Group net cash flows excluding financing activities: We
exclude deposits in and proceeds from short-term investments for
the period, and exclude the net cash generated from financing
activities for the period to derive our adjusted Group net cash
flows excluding financing activities. We believe the presentation
of adjusted Group net cash flows excluding financing activities
provides useful and meaningful information about the change in our
cash resources excluding those from financing activities which may
present significant period-to-period differences.
CER: We remove the effects of currency movements from
period-to-period comparisons by retranslating the current period's
performance at previous period's foreign currency exchange rates.
Because we have significant operations in China, the RMB to U.S.
dollar exchange rates used for translation may have a significant
effect on our reported results. We believe the presentation at CER
provides useful and meaningful information because it facilitates
period-to-period comparisons of our results and increases the
transparency of our underlying performance.

GROUP CAPITAL RESOURCES
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
To date, we have taken a multi-source approach to fund our
operations, including through cash flows generated and dividend
payments from our Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures
operations, service and milestone and upfront payments from our
collaboration partners, bank borrowings, investments from third
parties, proceeds from our listings on various stock exchanges and
follow-on offerings.
Primarily due to a recognition of $258.7 million in partnering
revenue from the upfront payment from Takeda, commercial progress
achieved on our three in-house developed oncology medicines in
China, as well as growth in our third-party distribution sales, we
generated a net income of $168.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2023 (H1-22: net loss of $162.9m).
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments of $856.2 million and unutilized bank
facilities of $65.3 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had $40.1
million in bank borrowings.
Certain of our subsidiaries and joint ventures, including those
registered as wholly foreign-owned enterprises in China, are
required to set aside at least 10.0% of their after-tax profits to
their general reserves until such reserves reach 50.0% of their
registered capital. In addition, certain of our joint ventures are
required to allocate certain of their after-tax profits as
determined in accordance with related regulations and their
respective articles of association to the reserve funds, upon
approval of the board.
Profit appropriated to the reserve funds for our subsidiaries
and joint ventures incorporated in the PRC was approximately
$127,000 and nil for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022,
respectively. In addition, as a result of PRC regulations
restricting dividend distributions from such reserve funds and from
a company's registered capital, our PRC subsidiaries are restricted
in their ability to transfer a certain amount of their net assets
to us as cash dividends, loans or advances. This restricted portion
amounted to $0.1 million as of June 30, 2023.
In addition, our non-consolidated joint venture, SHPL, held an
aggregate of $43.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and no bank
borrowings as of June 30, 2023. Such cash and cash equivalents are
only accessible by us through dividend payments from the joint
venture. The level of dividends declared by the joint venture is
subject to agreement each year between us and our joint venture
partner based on the profitability and working capital needs of the
joint venture.

Net Cash generated from/(used in) Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $89.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash generated from
operating activities of $226.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2023. The net change of $316.3 million was primarily
attributable to the net loss attributable to HUTCHMED of $162.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net
income attributable to HUTCHMED of $168.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2023 (which included $258.7 million in
upfront income recognized from Takeda).
Net Cash (used in)/generated from Investing Activities
Net cash generated from investing activities was $259.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash used
in investing activities of $316.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2023. The net change of $575.7 million was primarily
attributable to short-term investments which had net withdrawals of
$275.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared
to net deposits of $315.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2023. The net change was partially offset by a dividend of $23.9
million received from divestment of a former equity investee during
the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net Cash generated from/(used in) Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $74.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash generated from
financing activities of $5.8 million for the six months ended June
30, 2023. The net change of $80.4 million was mainly attributable
to bank borrowings which had a net repayment of $26.5 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to net
proceeds of $22.9 million during the six months ended June 30,
2023. The net change was also attributable to a decrease in
purchases of ADSs of $39.0 million by a trustee for the settlement
of equity awards of the Company which totaled $48.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $9.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2023, partly offset by dividends paid to
non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries of $9.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2023 while there was no such dividend
payment for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
LOAN FACILITIES
In October 2021, our subsidiary entered into a 10-year fixed
asset loan facility agreement with Bank of China Limited for the
provision of a secured credit facility in the amount of RMB754.9
million ($105.5 million) with an annual interest rate at the 5-year
China Loan Prime Rate less 0.8% (which was supplemented in June
2022). This credit facility is guaranteed by another subsidiary of
the Group, and secured by the underlying leasehold land and
buildings, and includes certain financial covenant requirements. As
of June 30, 2023, RMB287.3 million ($40.1 million) was utilized
from the fixed asset loan facility.
In May 2022, our subsidiary entered into a 12-month revolving
loan facility with HSBC in the amount of HK$390.0 million ($50.0
million) with an interest rate at HIBOR ([75]) plus 0.5% per annum.
This revolving facility is guaranteed by us. The revolving loan
facility expired in May 2023.
Our non-consolidated joint venture SHPL had no bank borrowings
outstanding as of June 30, 2023.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of
June 30, 2023. Our purchase obligations relate to property, plant

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
A substantial portion of our revenues and expenses are
denominated in renminbi, and our consolidated financial statements
are presented in U.S. dollars. While we do not believe that we
currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and
have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge our
exposure to such risk, any significant fluctuation in the value of
renminbi may adversely affect our cash flows, results of operations
and financial condition in the future.
The value of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other
currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things,
changes in China's political and economic conditions. The
conversion of renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S.
dollars, has been based on rates set by the PBOC ([76]) . If we
decide to convert renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of
making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for
other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against
the renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar
amounts available to us. On the other hand, if we need to convert
U.S. dollars into renminbi for business purposes, e.g. capital
expenditures and working capital, appreciation of the renminbi
against the U.S. dollar would have a negative effect on the
renminbi amounts we would receive from the conversion. In addition,
for certain cash and bank balances deposited with banks in the PRC,
if we decide to convert them into foreign currencies, they are
subject to the rules and regulations of foreign exchange control
promulgated by the PRC government.
CREDIT RISK
Substantially all of our bank deposits are in major financial
institutions, which we believe are of high credit quality. We limit
the amount of credit exposure to any single financial institution.
We make periodic assessments of the recoverability of trade and
other receivables and amounts due from related parties. Our
historical experience in collection of receivables falls within the
recorded allowances, and we believe that we have made adequate
provision for uncollectible receivables.
INTEREST RATE RISK
We have no significant interest-bearing assets except for bank
deposits. Our exposure to changes in interest rates is mainly
attributable to our bank borrowings, which bear interest at
floating interest rates and expose us to cash flow interest rate
risk. We have not used any interest rate swaps to hedge our
exposure to interest rate risk. We have performed sensitivity
analysis for the effects on our results for the period from changes
in interest rates on floating rate borrowings. The sensitivity to
interest rates used is based on the market forecasts available at
the end of the reporting period and under the economic environments
in which we operate, with other variables held constant. According
to the analysis, the impact on our results of a 1.0% interest rate
shift would be nil for the six months ended June 30, 2023 because
the entire interest expenses incurred for the six months ended June
30, 2023 were associated with our outstanding fixed asset loan and
were capitalized when the underlying property, plant and equipment
were under construction.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We did not have during the years presented, and we do not
currently have, any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Other than as disclosed in note 11 to the interim financial
statements, the Group does not have any other significant
commitments or contingent liabilities.
GEARING RATIO
The gearing ratio of the Group, which was calculated by dividing
total interest-bearing loans by total equity, was 5.0% as of June
30, 2023, an increase from 2.8% as of December 31, 2022. The
increase was primarily attributable to the increase in
interest-bearing loans.
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS HELD
Except for our investment in a non-consolidated joint venture
SHPL with a carrying value of $37.7 million including details below
and those as disclosed in note 7 to the interim financial
statements, we did not hold any other significant investments in
the equity of any other companies as of June 30, 2023.

MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES
AND JOINT VENTURES
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we did not have any
other material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries,
associates and joint ventures.
PLEDGE OF ASSETS
Our 10-year fixed asset loan facility agreement with Bank of
China Limited is secured by the underlying leasehold land and
buildings. RMB287.3 million ($40.1 million) was utilized from the
fixed asset loan facility as of June 30, 2023.
INFLATION
In recent years, China has not experienced significant
inflation, and thus inflation has not had a material impact on our
results of operations. According to the National Bureau of
Statistics of China, the Consumer Price Index in China increased by
1.5%, 1.8% and flat in 2021, 2022 and the first half of 2023,
respectively. Although we have not been materially affected by
inflation in the past, we can provide no assurance that we will not
be affected in the future by higher rates of inflation in
China.

HUTCHMED (CHINA) LIMITED
Notes to the interim unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
1. Organization and Nature of Business
HUTCHMED (China) Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries
(together the "Group") are principally engaged in researching,
developing, manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products.
The Group and its equity investee have research and development
facilities and manufacturing plants in the People's Republic of
China (the "PRC") and sell their products mainly in the PRC,
including Hong Kong and Macau. In addition, the Group has
established international operations in the United States of
America (the "U.S.") and Europe.
The Company's ordinary shares are listed on the Main Board of
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the AIM market of the
London Stock Exchange, and its American depositary shares ("ADS")
are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Liquidity
As at June 30, 2023, the Group had accumulated losses of
US$803,057,000 primarily due to its spending in drug research and
development activities. The Group regularly monitors current and
expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains
sufficient cash balances and adequate credit facilities to meet its
liquidity requirements in the short and long term. As at June 30,
2023, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of US$222,996,000,
short-term investments of US$633,172,000 and unutilized bank
borrowing facilities of US$65,343,000. Short-term investments
comprised of bank deposits maturing over three months.
Based on the Group's operating plan, the existing cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments and unutilized bank borrowing
facilities are considered to be sufficient to meet the cash
requirements to fund planned operations and other commitments for
at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of the
interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the
look-forward period used).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP")
for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for
complete financial statements. The interim unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same
basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of results
for the periods presented, have been included. The results of
operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations for the full year or any other interim
period.
The comparative year-end condensed balance sheet data was
derived from the annual audited consolidated financial statements,
but is condensed to the same degree as the interim condensed
balance sheet data.
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the
presumption that users have read or have access to the annual
audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal
year.
The preparation of interim unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Amendments that have been issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board or other standards-setting bodies that do not
require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a
material impact on the Group's condensed consolidated financial
statements.

12. Share-based Compensation
(i) Share--based Compensation of the Company
The Company conditionally adopted a share option scheme on June
4, 2005 (as amended on March 21, 2007) and such scheme has a term
of 10 years. It expired in 2016 and no further share options can be
granted. Another share option scheme was conditionally adopted on
April 24, 2015 (as amended on April 27, 2020) (the "Hutchmed Share
Option Scheme"). Pursuant to the Hutchmed Share Option Scheme, the
Board of Directors of the Company may, at its discretion, offer any
employees and directors (including Executive and Non-executive
Directors but excluding Independent Non-executive Directors) of the
Company, holding companies of the Company and any of their
subsidiaries or affiliates, and subsidiaries or affiliates of the
Company share options to subscribe for shares of the Company.
As at June 30, 2023, the aggregate number of shares issuable
under the Hutchmed Share Option Scheme was 47,044,598 ordinary
shares and the aggregate number of shares issuable under the prior
share option scheme which expired in 2016 was 211,320 ordinary
shares. The Company will issue new shares to satisfy share option
exercises. Additionally, the number of shares authorized but
unissued was 633,838,550 ordinary shares.
Share options granted are generally subject to a four-year
vesting schedule, depending on the nature and the purpose of the
grant. Share options subject to the four-year vesting schedule, in
general, vest 25% upon the first anniversary of the vesting
commencement date as defined in the grant letter, and 25% every
subsequent year. However, certain share option grants may have a
different vesting schedule as approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company. No outstanding share options will be exercisable or
subject to vesting after the expiry of a maximum of eight to ten
years from the date of grant.
A summary of the Company's share option activity and related
information is as follows:

Note: Includes 861,220 share options (represented by 172,244
ADS) granted to an executive director in May 2022 where the number
of share options exercisable is subject to a performance target
based on a market condition covering the 3-year period from 2022 to
2024 which has been reflected in estimating the grant date fair
value. The grant date fair value of such awards is US$0.24 per
share using the Polynomial model. Vesting of such award will occur
in March 2025 if the performance target based on a market condition
is met.
In estimating the fair value of share options granted, the
following assumptions were used in the Polynomial model for awards
granted in the periods indicated:
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2022
------------------------------- -----------------------------
Weighted average grant date fair value of share
options (in US$ per share) 1.14 0.85
Significant inputs into the valuation model
(weighted average):
Exercise price (in US$ per share) 2.50 2.26
Share price at effective date of grant (in US$
per share) 2.50 2.22
Expected volatility (note (a)) 53.3% 46.7%
Risk-free interest rate (note (b)) 3.69% 2.98%
Contractual life of share options (in years) 10 10
Expected dividend yield (note (c)) 0% 0%
Notes:
(a) The Company calculated its expected volatility with
reference to the historical volatility prior to the issuances of
share options.
(b) The risk-free interest rates reference the U.S. Treasury
yield curves because the Company's ADS are currently listed on the
NASDAQ and denominated in US$.
(c) The Company has not declared or paid any dividends and does
not currently expect to do so prior to the exercise of the granted
share options, and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of
zero in the Polynomial model.
The Company will issue new shares to satisfy share option
exercises. The following table summarizes the Company's share
option exercises:
Six Months Ended June 30,

As at June 30 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost was
US$8,107,000, and will be recognized on a graded vesting approach
over the weighted average remaining service period of 2.50
years.
(ii) LTIP
The Company grants awards under the LTIP to participating
directors and employees, giving them a conditional right to receive
ordinary shares of the Company or the equivalent ADS (collectively
the "Awarded Shares") to be purchased by the Trustee up to a cash
amount. Vesting will depend upon continued employment of the award
holder with the Group and will otherwise be at the discretion of
the Board of Directors of the Company. Additionally, some awards
are subject to change based on annual performance targets prior to
their determination date.
LTIP awards prior to the determination date
Performance targets vary by award, and may include targets for
shareholder returns, financings, revenues, net income/(loss) after
taxes and the achievement of clinical and regulatory, business
development and manufacturing milestones. As the extent of
achievement of the performance targets is uncertain prior to the
determination date, a probability based on management's assessment
on the achievement of the performance target has been assigned to
calculate the amount to be recognized as an expense over the
requisite period with a corresponding entry to liability.
LTIP awards after the determination date
Upon the determination date, the Company will pay a determined
monetary amount, up to the maximum cash amount based on the actual
achievement of the performance target specified in the award, to
the Trustee to purchase the Awarded Shares. Any cumulative
compensation expense previously recognized as a liability will be
transferred to additional paid-in capital. Based on the actual
achievement of performance target, the amount previously recorded
in the liability will be adjusted through share-based compensation
expense.
Granted awards in 2022 and 2023 under the LTIP are as
follows:
Maximum cash amount (in US$ Performance target
Grant date millions) Covered financial years determination date

June 5, 2023 54.9 2023 note (a)
Notes:
(a) The annual performance target determination date is the date
of the announcement of the Group's annual results for the covered
financial year and vesting occurs two business days after the
announcement of the Group's annual results for the financial year
falling two years after the covered financial year to which the
LTIP award relates.
(b) This award does not stipulate performance targets and is
subject to a vesting schedule of 25% on each of the first, second,
third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant.
The Trustee has been set up solely for the purpose of purchasing
and holding the Awarded Shares during the vesting period on behalf
of the Company using funds provided by the Company. On the
determination date, if any, the Company will determine the cash
amount, based on the actual achievement of each annual performance
target, for the Trustee to purchase the Awarded Shares. The Awarded
Shares will then be held by the Trustee until they are vested.
The Trustee's assets include treasury shares and funds for
additional treasury shares, trustee fees and expenses. The number
of treasury shares (in ordinary share equivalent) held by the
Trustee were as follows:

License and collaboration agreement with Takeda
Pharmaceutical
On January 23, 2023, the Group and Takeda Pharmaceuticals
International AG entered into an exclusive out-licensing agreement
(the "Takeda Agreement") to further the global development,
commercialization and manufacturing of Fruquintinib in territories
outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau (the "Territory").
Under the terms of the Takeda Agreement, the Group is entitled to
receive a series of payments up to US$1.13 billion, including
upfront, regulatory, development and commercial sales milestone
payments, plus royalties on net sales in the Territory. During the
six months ended June 30, 2023, the Group has received $400 million
upfront payment.
The Takeda Agreement has the following material performance
obligations: (1) the licenses for the development and
commercialization of Fruquintinib in the Territory and the
manufacture of Fruquintinib for use in the Territory, (2) services
for research and development of ongoing clinical trials, regulatory
submissions and manufacturing technology transfer and (3)
manufacturing supply.
The transaction price for these performance obligations includes
the upfront payment, service cost reimbursements, milestone
payments and sales-based royalties. Milestone payments were not
included in the transaction price until it becomes probable that a
significant reversal of revenue would not occur, which is generally
when the criteria to receive the milestone are achieved.
Manufacturing sales are variable consideration and were not
included in the transaction price at inception as regulatory
approval had not been achieved.
The allocation of the transaction price to each performance
obligation was based on the relative standalone selling price of
each performance obligation determined at the inception of the
contract. Based on this estimation, proportionate amounts of
transaction price to be allocated to the licenses, and other
performance obligations were 62% and 38% respectively.
Control of the licenses to Fruquintinib was transferred at the
inception date of the agreement and consequently, amounts allocated
to this performance obligation were recognized at inception.
Conversely, services are performed over the term of the Takeda
Agreement and amounts allocated are recognized over time using a
percentage-of-completion method and manufacturing supply is
recognized at a point in time when the control of the goods is
transferred. Royalties are recognized as future sales occur as they
meet the requirements for the sales-usage based royalty
exception.
Revenue recognized under the Takeda Agreement is as follows:

17. Earnings/(Losses) Per Share
(i) Basic earnings/(losses) per share
Basic earnings/(losses) per share is calculated by dividing the
net income/(loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted
average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue during the
period. Treasury shares held by the Trustee are excluded from the
weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue for
purposes of calculating basic earnings/(losses) per share.
Six Months Ended June 30,
2023 2022
Weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue 846,928,863 849,283,553
Net income/(loss) attributable to the Company (US$'000) 168,551 (162,861)
Basic earnings/(losses) per share attributable to the Company (US$ per share) 0.20 (0.19)
(ii) Diluted earnings/(losses) per share
Diluted earnings/(losses) per share is calculated by dividing
net income/(loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted
average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue and dilutive
ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive
ordinary share equivalents include shares issuable upon the
exercise or settlement of share options and LTIP awards issued by
the Company using the treasury stock method.

20. Litigation
From time to time, the Group may become involved in litigation
relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business.
The Group believes that there are currently no claims or actions
pending against the Group, the ultimate disposition of which could
have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject
to inherent uncertainties and the Group's view of these matters may
change in the future. When an unfavorable outcome occurs, there
exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Group's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the
periods in which the unfavorable outcome occurs, and potentially in
future periods.
On May 17, 2019, Luye Pharma Hong Kong Ltd. ("Luye") issued a
notice to the Group purporting to terminate a distribution
agreement that granted the Group exclusive commercial rights to
Seroquel in the PRC for failure to meet a pre-specified target. The
Group disagrees with this assertion and believes that Luye have no
basis for termination. As a result, the Group commenced legal
proceedings in 2019 in order to seek damages. On October 21, 2021
(and a decision on costs and interest in December 2021), the Group
was awarded an amount of RMB253.2 million (equivalent to US$35.4
million) with interest of 5.5% per annum from the date of the award
until payment and recovery of costs of approximately US$2.2 million
(collectively the "Award"). On June 27, 2022, Luye provided the
Group a bank guarantee of up to RMB286.0 million to cover the Award
amounts, pending the outcome of an application by Luye to the High
Court of Hong Kong to set aside the Award. On July 26, 2022, Luye's
application to set aside the Award was dismissed by the High Court
with costs awarded in favor of the Group. On October 7, 2022, Luye
filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court of Appeal regarding the
dismissal and the notice was accepted on November 8, 2022. On June
6, 2023, a Court of Appeal hearing was held and a judgement is
expected but yet to be received. The legal proceedings are ongoing
and as no Award amounts have been received as at the issuance date
of these condensed consolidated financial statements, no Award
amounts have been recognized and no adjustment has been made to
Seroquel-related balances as at June 30, 2023. Such
Seroquel-related balances include accounts receivable, long-term
prepayment, accounts payable and other payables of US$1.1 million,
US$0.3 million, US$0.9 million and US$1.1 million respectively.
21. Subsequent Events
The Group evaluated subsequent events through July 31, 2023,
which is the date when the interim unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements were issued.
22. Reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and International Financial

Notes:
(a) Lease amortization
Under U.S. GAAP, for operating leases, the amortization of
right-of-use assets and the interest expense element of lease
liabilities are recorded together as lease expenses, which results
in a straight-line recognition effect in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
Under IFRS, all leases are accounted for like finance leases
where right-of-use assets are generally depreciated on a
straight-line basis while lease liabilities are measured under the
effective interest method, which results in higher expenses at the
beginning of the lease term and lower expenses near the end of the
lease term.
(b) Issuance costs
Under U.S. GAAP and IFRS, there are differences in the criteria
for capitalization of issuance costs incurred in the offering of
equity securities.
(c) Capitalization of development and commercial rights
Under U.S. GAAP, the acquired development and commercial rights
do not meet the capitalization criteria as further development is
needed as of the acquisition date and there is no alternative
future use. Such rights are considered as in-process research and
development and were expensed to research and development
expense.
Under IFRS, the acquired development and commercial rights were
capitalized to intangible assets. The recognition criterion is
always assumed to be met as the price already reflects the
probability that future economic benefits will flow to the
Group.
(d) LTIP classification
Under U.S. GAAP, LTIP awards with performance conditions are
classified as liability-settled awards prior to the determination
date as they settle in a variable number of shares based on a
determinable monetary amount, which is determined upon the actual
achievement of performance targets. After the determination date,
the LTIP awards are reclassified as equity-settled awards.
Under IFRS, LTIP awards are classified as equity-settled awards,
both prior to and after the determination date, as they are
ultimately settled in ordinary shares or the equivalent ADS of the
Company instead of cash.
