CORPORATE PROFILE

We are a leading biopharmaceutical company in China, focusing on the research, development and commercialization of new drugs and biosimilar for cancers and autoimmune diseases. We strive to bring to the market high quality and affordable innovative biologics through our efficient research and development (“R&D”) system and low-cost pharmaceutical production capabilities, and develop differentiated therapeutic products by fully utilizing our extensive R&D experience. Our drug pipeline currently consists of 9 monoclonal antibody drugs and 1 strong antibody drug, 3 of which approved for marketing are our core products:

✓ CMAB009恩立妥 (cetuximab β injection): CMAB009恩立妥 is a recombinant anti-EGFR chimeric monoclonal antibody which has been approved by the NMPA for marketing in June 2024 (Guo Yao Zhun Zi S20240025) for first-line therapy for RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC in combination with the FOLFIRI regimen. CMAB009 was developed and prepared using a specific CHO expression process of the Company with an international PCT patent (PCT patent number: PCT/CN2016/070024), which has achieved significant therapeutic efficacy and clear safety advantage, and has been fully substantiated by the results of two completed clinical trials.

In August 2023, Taizhou Pharmaceutical has entered into a business cooperation agreement with Jiangsu Simcere Zaiming Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (江蘇先聲再明醫藥有限公司) (“Jiangsu Simcere Zaiming”), a company with remarkable tumor drug sales capability and proven track record, pursuant to which Taizhou Pharmaceutical granted exclusive commercial rights in respect of CMAB009恩立妥 (including but not limited to sales management, marketing and promotion, formulation and adjustment of related strategies and the rights to obtain relevant benefits) in the Chinese Mainland. CMAB009恩立妥 is the third product of the Company approved for marketing, and is the first domestically produced anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody innovative drug with independent intellectual property for the first-line treatment of mCRC approved by the NMPA. CMAB009恩立妥 is also expected to expand its indications to pancreatic cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, cervical squamous cell carcinoma and other cancers, as its administration together with a variety of small molecule drugs has tremendous potential for research and development and application in various other indications such as non-small cell lung cancer. The Group is propelling the clinical and registration work of CMAB009恩立妥* targeting the aforesaid indications. For more details of the NMPA approval, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated June 25, 2024.

According to “2022 Cancer Incidence and Mortality in China” published by the National Cancer Center, colorectal cancer, also known as colon cancer, has significant incidence in China with approximately 500,000 new diagnosed cases per annum, ranking 2nd in terms of prevalence among malignant tumors. In relatively developed regions, the morbidity of colorectal cancer even exceeds that of hepatitis B. So far, patients with colorectal cancer in China are overly dependent on imported anti-EGFR antibodies, of which major products are often highly priced and may lead to severe hypersensitivity reactions among over 2% patient population as evidenced in clinical studies. Accordingly, the first page of drug instructions approved by China and the U.S. always bears a black box warning against severe adverse reactions. As the first independently developed anti-EGFR new antibody marketed in China in nearly two decades, CMAB009恩立妥 has remarkable clinical efficacy and has a better safety profile without black box warnings as compared with imported drugs carrying black box warnings indicating severe adverse reactions, and it has therefore received wide acclaim among doctors and patients. We delivered the first order of CMAB009恩立妥 and the products were administrated to its first batch of patients within the same month during which it was approved for marketing. Besides, we have established an efficient and extensive marketing network, and launched nearly 100 academic promotions with the support from nearly 1,000 top experts, involving hundreds of leading hospitals in 28 provinces. Meanwhile, to extend care to impoverished patients suffering from tumor, we joined hands with professional institutions to roll out charitable drug give-away activities across the nation. In November 2024, we conducted negotiations with the National Healthcare Security Administration of the PRC (the “NHSA”) over the pricing of CMAB009恩立妥*, an exclusive innovative drug, allowing it to be successfully covered by the pharmaceuticals catalogue for reimbursement under China’s national medical insurance program (the “Medical Insurance”), which has started to benefit a wide population of patients suffering from colorectal cancer in China.

✓ CMAB007奥遏舒 (Omalizumab α for Injection): It was approved for marketing by the NMPA in May 2023 (Guo Yao Zhun Zi S20230030 for specification of 75mg/vial and Guo Yao Zhun Zi S20230031 for specification of 150mg/vial) for the treatment of patients diagnosed with IgE mediated asthma, which is the first domestic allergic asthma therapeutic antibody new drug in China approved by the NMPA. In August 2023, CMAB007奥遏舒 was also approved by the NMPA to launch clinical trials for indications relating to chronic spontaneous urticaria in adults and adolescents (aged 12 and above) who still show symptoms after treatment with H1 antihistamines. We have successfully initiated the phase III clinical trial of CMAB007奥遏舒 for treatment of urticaria. As an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, CMAB007奥遏舒 is also expected to expand its indications to allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and food allergies. In the future, we will actively carry out various studies to rapidly expand the R&D and therapeutic applications of CMAB007奥遏舒* in multiple allergic disease areas.

In 2023, Taizhou Pharmaceutical entered into an exclusive commercialization cooperation agreement in relation to CMAB007奥遇舒 in China with Jiangxi Jemincare Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (江西清民可信醫藥有限公司) (“Jemincare”), a pharmaceutical company with remarkable market promotion capability and proven track record. CMAB007奥遇舒 was included as an exclusive product in the negotiation list under the Medical Insurance, and in the fourth quarter of 2023, it was successfully included in the pharmaceuticals catalogue under the Medical Insurance after negotiation. As of the date of this announcement, we have put up our CMAB007奥遇舒 for sale on all provincial pharmaceutical product procurement and GPO platforms across the Chinese Mainland, covering thousands of hospitals, primary medical institutions and pharmacies. We have implemented various academic activities involving nearly 1,000 leading medical experts for CMAB007奥遇舒, an exclusive product included in the pharmaceuticals catalogue under the Medical Insurance. In the beginning of 2024, we launched data analysis and studies on the efficacy and safety of CMAB007奥遇舒 in the real world. A total of 18 projects have been successively established by the asthma scientific research fund for CMAB007奥遇舒 to study and broaden its evidence-based medicine information. CMAB007奥遇舒 shows a drastic growth in sales volume in 2024 by 2,125% year-on-year compared to 2023.

✓ CMAB008類停 (infliximab for injection): It was approved for marketing by the NMPA in July 2021 (Guo Yao Zhun Zi S20210025) for the treatment of 1) ulcerative colitis in adults; 2) ankylosing spondylitis; 3) rheumatoid arthritis; 4) Crohn’s disease in adults and pediatric patients aged above 6 years old; 5) fistula Crohn’s disease; and 6) psoriasis. According to the regulations of the Medical Insurance, CMAB008類停 has also been automatically included in the Medical Insurance.

CMAB008類停 was approved for the treatment of six indications which have huge long-term unmet market demand (with more than 10 million patients in the PRC which is still growing). In March 2022, Taizhou Pharmaceutical entered into an exclusive promotion service agreement with Kexing Biopharm Co., Ltd. (科興生物製藥股份有限公司) (“Kexing Biopharm”), a company listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 688136), pursuant to which Taizhou Pharmaceutical granted an exclusive licence to promote CMAB008類停 in the Chinese Mainland (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan regions) to Kexing Biopharm. CMAB008類停 has been marketed on the procurement platform across all the provinces within China and extended its footprints to thousands of hospitals of different levels, primary medical institutions and pharmacies, posting an exponential growth in sales volume by 108% year-on-year compared to 2023. We also launched multifaceted brand building activities for CMAB008類停, including nearly 100 market promotion activities and almost 1,000 special academic discussions on CMAB008類停 under the four major themes including “Care for Rheumatoid Arthritis”. In addition to general indications, infliximab has been included in the tenth diagnosis and treatment plan of COVID-19 as a remedy, as well as the Expert Consensus on Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of COVID-19 among Children (Fifth Edition) for the treatment of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (“MIS-C”). We are also working with medical experts to explore the application of CMAB008類停* in systemic inflammatory response and cardiac injury after cardiac arrest.

Besides, for the benefit of low-income patients, we continued to conduct relief donation of CMAB008 類停 to give back to society. With the progress in both academic fields and contributions to society, CMAB008 類停 has secured remarkable market recognition, which set the solid foundation for its continued rapid growth in sales volume. The Company has also initiated cooperation with partners who have accumulated abundant overseas market resources over a long period of time to rapidly expand to overseas markets. At present, the Company has launched registration and market exploration in more than 30 countries and/or regions, completed GMP inspections in three countries, and has passed the GMP inspection certification in Brazil, a PIC/S member country. The new drug application of CMAB008 類停* was also approved by the medical products regulatory authorities of Peru, Indonesia, Pakistan and Bangladesh. For further details, please refer to the announcements of the Company dated July 2, 2024, December 27, 2024 and January 2, 2025 respectively.

(All the above products are collectively referred to as "Core Products").

Among our other drug candidates, CMAB015 (secukinumab) possesses remarkable efficacy advantages in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, and has become one of the most rapidly growing biological agents in the treatment of psoriasis in China. We have completed the phase I clinical trials for CMAB015 and launched the phase III clinical trials. CMAB807/CMAB807X (denosumab) has completed phase III clinical trials for osteoporosis, and has been under application and registration for full indication with reference to international precedents. The "strong antibody" new drug CMAB017 has obtained approval from the NMPA for clinical trial for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including but not limited to colorectal cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Compared with marketed EGFR anti-body drugs, CMAB017 has better efficacy and is safer. We have also developed CMAB022 (ustekinumab), a biosimilar, which promises sound market prospect for the treatment of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, etc.

We have strong in-house capabilities in pharmaceutical research, manufacturing, pre-clinical and clinical development. We promote the commercialization of drugs developed by us through business cooperation with leading domestic enterprises engaged in sales of pharmaceutical products. This approach enables us to capitalize on the economies of scale arising from the substantial sales channels and expert resources and experience of our business partners accumulated throughout the years in disease-specific fields, and to build up and enhance our own distinctive and efficient sales system with a focus on specific indications. We focus on the R&D of monoclonal antibodies. Our core R&D team members have more than 20 years of experience in this area, and have led three major projects under the "863" Program, also called the State High-Tech Development Plan, among other national-level scientific research projects.

We have five antibody drug production lines in operation in Taizhou. The construction of plants in our new R&D and industrial base in Taizhou has also been completed, and the Company's 7,500L new GMP production line has been under commissioning and trial production, process validation and GMP registration, bringing the aggregate scale of our cell reactor to reach 40,000 liters. The solid equipment, technology and quality foundation we have in the field of antibody drug preparation will enable us to possess an excellent competitive advantage in future Medical Insurance and centralized procurement negotiations. Leveraging the competitive advantages in the R&D and mass production capacity in anti-body drugs in the PRC, we also proactively engage in CDMO business without compromising our independent product R&D.

We believe that we are well positioned to seize China's substantial market opportunities, in particular those resulting from China's recent healthcare regulatory reforms, including new Medical Insurance measures. The primary focus of our R&D – monoclonal antibody drugs targeting cancers and autoimmune diseases – has substantial untapped clinical demand in China.

Further, during the rapid growth of the pharmaceutical market in China, the central procurement under the Medical Insurance that may be extended to cover biological drugs in the future and the increased effort in national negotiations of exclusive products on Medical Insurance will restructure the pharmaceutical market in China to a large extent. We will actively participate in the national medical reform with our advantages in terms of advanced technology, quality and cost, as well as aggressive and flexible product cooperation model, and capture the opportunities presented during the policy reform so as to capture the huge unmet market demand in China. We have also initiated our global market expansion, successfully passed the GMP inspection certification in PIC/S member countries, been approved for marketing in multiple overseas countries, and will further accelerate the registration and launching of our drugs in the international market.

類停* - CMAB008 (infliximab for injection)

CMAB008類停*, is a recombinant anti-TNF α chimeric monoclonal antibody that was approved by the NMPA (Guo Yao Zhun Zi S20210025) on July 12, 2021 for the treatment of:

(i) ulcerative colitis in adults;
(ii) ankylosing spondylitis;
(iii) rheumatoid arthritis;
(iv) Crohn's disease in adults and pediatric patients aged above 6 years old;
(v) fistula Crohn's disease; and
(vi) psoriasis.

CMAB008類停 is the first China-made infliximab approved for marketing, which is a monoclonal antibody biosimilar independently developed by the Company and one of the core products of the Company. CMAB008類停 uses the CHO expression system, and is a monoclonal antibody targeting TNF α that specifically merges with TNF α and blocks the inflammatory cascade response caused by TNF α. The researches we have completed have shown that, compared to other anti-TNF α drugs on the market, CMAB008類停 has a stronger affinity for TNF α and a stronger glycosylation character, with rapid onset of effect, long-lasting efficacy, long dosing intervals and no hypersensitivity reactions. The results of our completed researches including, clinical trials, non-clinical comparative studies and pharmacological comparisons of CMAB008類停 have also shown that CMAB008類停* is identical to the original infliximab in terms of efficacy, safety, pharmacological profile and quality.

CMAB008類停 is the first infliximab launched in the domestic market following “Remicade”, the original drug imported and sold by Xi’an Janssen Pharmaceutical Limited (西安楊森製藥有限公司). CMAB008類停 is approved for the treatment of six indications which have huge long-term unmet market demand with more than 10 million patients in the PRC which is still growing. During the past decade, following the inclusion in the Medical Insurance system and shift in habit towards adopting biological agents, the overall market share of infliximab witnessed a rapid increase, especially in the field of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), for which infliximab has become the key biological agent for treatment due to its rapid onset of effect and obvious curative effect.

In March 2022, Taizhou Pharmaceutical entered into an exclusive promotion service agreement with Kexing Biopharm, pursuant to which Taizhou Pharmaceutical granted an exclusive licence to promote CMAB008類停* in the Chinese Mainland (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan regions) to Kexing Biopharm.

  • 13 -

During the Reporting Period, CMAB008類停 posted an exponential growth in sales volume by 108% year-on-year. We also launched thousands of specialized academic discussions on CMAB008類停, including the “Care for Rheumatoid Arthritis”, “Unremitting Efforts against Ankylosing Spondylitis” and “Love with 類停” activities. In addition to general indications, infliximab has been included in the tenth diagnosis and treatment plan of COVID-19 as a remedy, as well as the Expert Consensus on Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of COVID-19 among Children (Fifth Edition) for the treatment of MIS-C. We are also working with medical experts to explore the application of CMAB008類停 in systemic inflammatory response and cardiac injury after cardiac arrest. The Company has launched registration and market exploration in more than 30 countries and/or regions, completed GMP inspections in three countries, and has passed the GMP inspection certification in Brazil, a PIC/S member country. The new drug application of CMAB008類停* was also approved by the medical products regulatory authorities of Peru, Indonesia, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

CMAB807/CMAB807X (denosumab) is a human immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) monoclonal antibody with affinity and specificity for human RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand), which is a transmembrane or soluble protein essential for the formation, function, and survival of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone resorption. CMAB807/CMAB807X prevents RANKL from activating its receptor, RANK, on the surface of osteoclasts and their precursors. Prevention of the RANKL/RANK interaction inhibits osteoclast formation, function, and survival, thereby decreasing bone resorption and increasing bone mass and strength in both cortical and trabecular bones.

The increased osteoclast activity stimulated by RANKL is the medium of bone pathology in solid tumor with bone metastasis. Similarly, giant cell tumor of bone is composed of stromal cells expressing RANKL and osteoclast-like giant cells expressing RANK receptor. RANK receptor signaling promotes osteolysis and tumor growth. CMAB807/CMAB807X prevents RANKL from activating osteoclasts, their precursors and receptor RANK on the surface of osteoclast-like giant cells.

CMAB807/CMAB807X has completed phase III clinical trials for osteoporosis and applied to the NMPA for NDA regarding full indication application. The NDA of CMAB807/CMAB807X had been accepted by NMPA in January 2025. We expect that CMAB807/CMAB807X will be approved by NMPA for marketing in the second quarter of 2026 for the indications of osteoporosis, tumor bone metastasis and giant cell tumor of bone.

CMAB017 (anti-EGFR probody) is an innovative probody drug. Regarding CMAB017, the design of blocking peptide is expected to significantly reduce adverse skin reactions, gastrointestinal mucosa, etc. The selection of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) constant region can enhance the effect mediated by Fc fragment of antibody and thus improve the curative effect. CMAB017 is a biological class I new drug with better efficacy and safety than similar products available on the market, and it is expected that more new probody drugs will be developed by leveraging the research and development platform of CMAB017. CMAB017 is indicated for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including but not limited to colorectal cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. CMAB017 has been approved by the NMPA for clinical trials for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including but not limited to colorectal cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Results of the completed experimental study on tissue distribution of tumor-bearing mice show that CMAB017 concentrates locally in tumor 24-72 hours after administration. We expect that CMAB017 may launch phase I clinical trials in the first quarter of 2025 and is expected to be approved by the NMPA for marketing in the second quarter of 2030.

CMAB015 (secukinumab) is a biosimilar candidate for secukinumab. Secukinumab is a fully humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody. It mainly functions by selectively binding interleukin 17A (IL-17A), a key factor in the inflammatory pathway, and inhibiting it from binding with interleukin 17 (IL-17) receptor, so as to alleviate the inflammatory reaction. Its indications include moderate and severe plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Secukinumab demonstrated significant therapeutic effect. Overall, as an IL-17A inhibitor, secukinumab demonstrated efficacy and safety in moderate and severe psoriasis and other related indications, providing patients with new treatment options. CMAB015 targets IL-17A for treating plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Secukinumab is the most effective curer for psoriasis at present, which offers significant efficacy and guarantees much more stable condition after drug withdrawal compared with peers. CMAB015 has been approved by the NMPA for clinical trials of the treatment of plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. We have completed the phase I clinical trial for CMAB015 and have initiated the phase III clinical trial. We expect to file NDA for CMAB015 in the third quarter of 2026 and expect that CMAB015 may be approved by the NMPA for marketing in the fourth quarter of 2027.


CMAB819 (nivolumab) is our biosimilar drug candidate. CMAB819 has been approved by the NMPA for clinical trial. The phase I clinical trials have been completed. We expect that CMAB819 may be approved by the NMPA for marketing in the third quarter of 2029. CMAB819 is indicated for the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.

CMAB022 is a candidate biosimilar product of stelara® (ustekinumab), targeting and binding interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-23 (IL-23). It inhibits these two proinflammatory cytokines by binding to the P40 subunit shared by IL-12 and IL-23 and preventing them from binding to the cell surface IL-12 receptor β 1. IL-12 and IL-23 play a key role in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. FDA approved its use for treatment of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. According to the results of several large-scale randomized controlled trials conducted abroad (UNITI-1, UNITI-2 and IM-UNITI), ustekinumab has significant clinical remission and clinical response rate for patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, as well as a high healing rate of intestinal mucosa. Not only can ustekinumab be used as an induction therapy, it can also be continued as a subcutaneous injection for maintenance therapy after a single intravenous injection, with good efficacy and safety during maintenance therapy. In addition, ustekinumab can also be used as a salvage therapy, and in the case of failure or intolerance of other biologics (e.g., anti-TNFα drugs), the use of ustekinumab can still achieve favourable results. CMAB022 has completed engineering cell construction, screening and laboratory scale process studies, and is undergoing pilot process scale-up. We expect to complete all preclinical studies and submit a clinical trial application in the second quarter of 2026; and obtain NMPA approval for marketing (for the psoriasis indication, and to apply for expansion to other approved indications) in the fourth quarter of 2030.

CMAB023 is an anti-TSLP IgG2-lambda monoclonal antibody, and a biosimilar drug candidate for TEZSPIRE (Tezepelumab). TSLP is a key epithelial cytokine in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli (such as lung allergens, viruses and other pathogens), which can be found at the top of multiple inflammatory cascades and will trigger excessive and sustained immune response to airway inflammation relating to severe asthma such as eosinophilia. Therefore, the early upstream activity of TSLP in the inflammatory cascade has been identified as a potential target in a wide range of asthma patients. Blocking TSLP can prevent immune cells from releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines, thus preventing asthma from deterioration and enhancing control over asthma. We have successfully developed CMAB023, which has completed cell line construction and is under process development. It is expected that CMAB023 will obtain marketing approval from the NMPA in the second quarter of 2030. As a broad-spectrum anti-allergic antibody drug, it covers broader scope of allergic patients, offers a better curative effect, and contributes significantly to mitigating the condition aggravation among patients with severe asthma.

CMAB016 is a candidate biosimilar product of Dupixent® (dupilumab) and a monoclonal antibody of the human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) subtype. CMAB016 targets and binds to the alpha subunit of the interleukin 4 (IL-4) receptor, blocking the signaling pathway of IL-4 and interleukin 13 (IL-13), and is approved by FDA for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and prurigo nodularis. In the BOREAS and NOTUS trials: the incidence of acute exacerbations of moderate-to-severe COPD at week 52 was significantly reduced by 30% and 34%, respectively, in the dupilumab-treated group compared to the placebo group. Both trials demonstrated rapid and significant improvement in lung function with dupilumab compared to placebo, and the benefit was sustained through week 52. CMAB016 has completed engineering cell construction, screening and laboratory scale process studies, and we expect to complete all preclinical studies and file a clinical trial application in the second quarter of 2026; and obtain NMPA approval for marketing in the second quarter of 2029.

Quality assurance

We believe that an effective quality management system for our raw materials, equipment and finished products is critical to ensure the quality of our services and maintain our reputation and success. To ensure that our products and services consistently meet high industry standards and requirements, we have also established a company-level quality assurance department to inspect the quality of our products and services. It is also responsible for the approval, organization and coordination of quality control and quality assurance procedures within each subsidiary. Facilities and equipment are subject to inspection measures such as united registrar systems, factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, installation qualification, operator qualification, performance qualification, and regular maintenance throughout their entire life cycles. Our manufacturing business lines are inspected in accordance with the PRC national laboratory quality control standard and the GMP management requirements; our research and development business lines are also inspected in accordance with the GMP management requirements.

FUTURE AND OUTLOOK

We leverage our efficient sales system with a focus on niche markets to capture the opportunities presented in the pharmaceutical reform in China.

Under the implementation of the new Medical Insurance policy in recent years, the pharmaceutical market in China is undergoing significant market restructuring. Companies with more competitive advantages in quality and pricing have benefited greatly from the negotiations on Medical Insurance price between the National Healthcare Security Administration and regional healthcare security administrative bodies at all levels and negotiations in relation to central procurement for drugs covered under the Medical Insurance. As a result, the overall market penetration has increased significantly during the reformation. This trend will drive the development of the pharmaceutical market in China for a long time into the future. Riding on the trend of the overall pharmaceutical policy reform, we will join forces with our partners to build a sales team in China with high efficiency and academic promotion as its core strategy, focusing on niche markets, such as gastroenterology, respiratory, rheumatology and oncology, with an aim to promote our products and cultivate the practice of antibody drugs application. We will actively monitor, and participate in, the negotiations of Medical Insurance, especially focusing on capturing the huge potentials brought by the negotiations of central procurement for biological products under the Medical Insurance. Relying on the significant advantages of our drugs in terms of quality and cost, we will capture opportunities presented in the significant increase in market penetration caused by the policy reform, effectively satisfying the unmet market demand in China in respect of biological agents with high quality products and ultimately benefiting patients.

The antibody drugs development in overseas markets has shown a rapid increase resulting in a huge unmet global market demand for antibody drugs, especially for those with PIC/S members as the core. In light of the policy reform in China, the economies of scale of antibody drugs will greatly enhance the global competitiveness of Chinese antibody drugs. In view of this, we are collaborating closely with our overseas market expansion partners to initiate new drug registration and launching new drugs in different countries and regions in a comprehensive and flexible manner with multiple products, with an aim to promote our products' global presence and accelerate their growth in the global market.

Fluctuations in exchange rates between RMB and other currencies in which our Group conducts business may affect our financial condition and results of operation. The Group mainly operates in the PRC and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to Hong Kong dollars and the U.S. dollars. The conversion of foreign currencies into RMB, including Hong Kong dollars and the U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People's Bank of China. The Group primarily limits our exposure to foreign currency risk by closely monitoring the foreign exchange market. During the Reporting Period, the Group did not enter into any currency hedging transactions.

GEARING RATIO

Gearing ratio is calculated using total liabilities divided by total assets and multiplied by 100%. As at December 31, 2024, the gearing ratio of the Group was 91.2% (as at December 31, 2023: 80.2%).

The following table sets forth our other key financial ratios as of the dates indicated.

At December 31,
2024 2023
Current ratio(1) 1.2 1.1
Quick ratio(2) 0.8 0.8

Notes:

(1) Current ratio represents current assets divided by current liabilities as of the same date.

(2) Quick ratio represents current assets less inventories and divided by current liabilities as of the same date.

Our current ratio increased from 1.1 as at December 31, 2023 to 1.2 as at December 31, 2024, mainly due to increase in accounts receivable as a result of increase in sales. Our quick ratio was 0.8 as at December 31, 2023 and remained the same as at December 31, 2024.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. CORPORATE AND GROUP INFORMATION

Mabpharm Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on 1 June 2018, and its shares were listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 31 May 2019. The address of the registered office is 190 Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-90008, Cayman Islands and the principal place of business is located at Block G79, Lujia Road East, Koutai Road West, China Medical City, Taizhou, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

The Company is an investment holding company. The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are principally engaged in the research, development and production of monoclonal antibody drugs for cancers and autoimmune diseases and the transfer of intellectual property.

The immediate holding company of the Company is Asia Mabtech Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, which is ultimately controlled by Mr. Guo Jianjun.

Information about subsidiaries

Particulars of the Company’s principal subsidiaries are as follows:

Name Place of incorporation/ registration and business Issued ordinary/ registered share capital Percentage of equity attributable to the Company Principal activities
Direct Indirect
Taizhou Mabtech Pharmaceutical Limited (“Taizhou Pharmaceutical”) (泰州通博文科藥業有限公司)* PRC/Mainland China US$210,000,000 - 100% Research and development, manufacturing, technical consulting, technology transfer and provision of technical services of biological products, diagnostic reagents, chemical biological reagents and drugs

The above table lists the subsidiaries of the Company which, in the opinion of the directors, principally affected the results for the year or formed a substantial portion of the net assets of the Group. To give details of other subsidiaries would, in the opinion of the directors, result in particulars of excessive length.


  • 33 -

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (which include all International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) and Interpretations) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2024. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

(a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

(b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

(c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described above. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, any non-controlling interest and the exchange fluctuation reserve; and recognises the fair value of any investment retained and any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The Group has adopted the following revised IFRS Accounting Standards for the first time for the current year’s financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
(the “2020 Amendments”)
Amendments to IAS 1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (the “2022 Amendments”)
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 Supplier Finance Arrangements

The nature and the impact of the revised IFRS Accounting Standards are described below:

(a) Amendments to IFRS 16 specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. Since the Group has no sale and leaseback transactions with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate occurring from the date of initial application of IFRS 16, the amendments did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

(b) The 2020 Amendments clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current, including what is meant by a right to defer settlement and that a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement. The amendments also clarify that a liability can be settled in its own equity instruments, and that only if a conversion option in a convertible liability is itself accounted for as an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification. The 2022 Amendments further clarify that, among covenants of a liability arising from a loan arrangement, only those with which an entity must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of that liability as current or non-current. Additional disclosures are required for non-current liabilities that are subject to the entity complying with future covenants within 12 months after the reporting period.

The Group has reassessed the terms and conditions of its liabilities as at 1 January 2023 and 2024 and concluded that the classification of its liabilities as current or non-current remained unchanged upon initial application of the amendments. Accordingly, the amendments did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

(c) Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additional disclosure of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. As the Group does not have supplier finance arrangements, the amendments did not have any impact on the Group’s financial statements.


  • 35 -

2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in these financial statements. The Group intends to apply these new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements^{3}
IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures^{3}
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments^{2}
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity^{2}
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture^{4}
Amendments to IAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability^{1}
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7^{2}
  1. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025
  2. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026
  3. Effective for annual/reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027
  4. No mandatory effective date yet determined but available for adoption

The application of IFRS 18 will have no impact on the consolidated statements of financial position of the Group, but will have impact on the presentation of the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Except for IFRS 18, the directors of the Company anticipate that these new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial performance and financial position in the foreseeable future.

3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment information

For the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment, the key management of the entities and business comprising the Group, being the chief operating decision maker, reviews the consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole and hence, the Group has only one reportable segment and no further analysis of this single segment is presented.

Geographical information

During the reporting period, all of the Group’s revenue was derived from customers located in the PRC and the Group’s non-current assets are substantially located in the PRC, accordingly, no geographical information in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments is presented.

Information about a major customer

There was no revenue derived from the transaction with a single customer amounting to 10% or more of the Group’s revenues in 2024. Revenue of approximately RMB14,151,000 was derived from the exclusive right for the commercialisation in Mainland China with a single customer in 2023.

(b) Performance obligations

Information about the Group’s performance obligations is summarised below:

Sale of pharmaceutical products

The performance obligation is satisfied upon delivery of the products and acceptance by the customer, and payment is generally due within 30 to 90 days from delivery. Some contracts provide customers with rights of return and sales rebates which give rise to variable consideration subject to constraint.

Exclusive right for the commercialisation

The performance obligation is satisfied overtime during the expected commercialisation period after the commercialisation authorisation from the local authorities is obtained, with reference to the budgeted manufacture order from the customer (i.e. when the customer receives and consumes the benefits during the commercialisation stage) or the expected product life cycle (10 years).

Contract development and manufacturing agreement with customers

The performance obligation is satisfied upon delivery of the control of rights of the deliverables and acceptance by the customer.

Revenue from the rendering of contract services

The performance obligation is satisfied upon delivery of the control of rights of the deliverables and acceptance by the customer.

The amounts of transaction prices allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations as at 31 December are as follows:

| | 2024
RMB’000 | 2023
RMB’000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Amounts expected to be recognised as revenue: | | |

| Over one year | 351,952 | 304,771 |
| Total | 397,496 | 346,801 |

The remaining performance obligations expected to be recognised after one year mainly relate to the transaction prices allocated to the exclusive right for the commercialization. The revenue from the exclusive right for the commercialization is expected to be recognised during the future estimated commercialisation period. The amounts disclosed above do not include variable consideration.

| Total | 10,552 | 9,578 |


  1. INCOME TAX

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands and is exempted from income tax.

Hong Kong profits tax is provided at the rate of 16.5% (2023: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the year. No Hong Kong profits tax was provided for as there was no estimated assessable profit of the Group’s Hong Kong subsidiary that was subject to Hong Kong profits tax during the year.

Under the Law of the PRC of Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT Law”) and the Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries is 25% throughout the reporting period.

In November 2024, Taizhou Pharmaceutical was reaccredited as a “High and New Technology Enterprise”, therefore is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15% for a three-year period since 2024. The qualification as a High and New Technology Enterprise will be subject to review by the relevant tax authority in the PRC for every three years and Taizhou Pharmaceutical should self-evaluate whether it meets the criteria of High and New Technology Enterprise each year.

Pursuant to Caishui [2018] circular No. 76, Taizhou Pharmaceutical can carry forward its unutilised tax losses for up to ten years. This extension of expiration period applies to all the unutilised tax losses that were carried forward by Taizhou Pharmaceutical at the effective date of the tax circular.

Pursuant to the relevant EIT Laws, Taizhou Pharmaceutical enjoyed a super deduction of 200% on qualifying research and development expenditures during the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2024.

A reconciliation of the tax expense applicable to loss before tax at the statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the Company and its subsidiaries are domiciled to the tax expense at the effective tax rate is as follows:

| | 2024
RMB’000 | 2023
RMB’000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Loss before tax | (127,947) | (209,356) |
| Income tax expense calculated at 25% | (31,987) | (52,339) |
| Effect of different tax rates of subsidiaries operating in other jurisdictions
and enacted by local authority | 13,585 | 20,989 |
| Tax effect of expenses not deductible for tax purposes | 2,755 | 2,110 |
| Effect of research and development expenses that are additionally deducted | (14,786) | (7,221) |
| Tax effect of tax losses and deductible temporary differences not recognised | 30,433 | 36,461 |
| Income tax expense recognised in profit or loss | - | - |

The Group has unused tax losses of RMB1,423,370,000 available for offset against future profits as of 31 December 2024 (2023: RMB1,264,261,000). The tax losses of the entity will expire in one to ten years for offsetting against taxable profits of the companies in which the losses arose. The Group had deductible temporary differences of RMB255,429,000 at 31 December 2024 (2023: RMB207,972,000), which are mainly related to deferred income and accrued expenses.

Deferred taxation had not been recognised on the unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences since it is not probable that the taxable profits will be available against which the tax losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilised in the foreseeable future.

  1. DIVIDENDS

No dividend was paid or proposed for holders of ordinary shares of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024, nor has any dividend been proposed since the end of the reporting period (2023: Nil).

11. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the following data:

| | 2024
RMB'000 | 2023
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company for the purpose of calculating basic loss per share | (127,947) | (209,356) |
| | 2024
'000 | 2023
'000 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of calculating basic loss per share | 4,124,080 | 4,124,080 |

The calculation of diluted loss per share amounts for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023 did not assume the exercise of the pre-IPO share options since its inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

12. LEASES

The Group as a lessee

The Group has lease contracts for various items of leasehold land and buildings used in its operations. Lump sum payments were made upfront to acquire the leased land from the owner with lease periods of 50 years, and no ongoing payments will be made under the terms of the land lease. Leases of buildings generally have lease terms between 3 and 18 years. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets outside the Group.

(a) Right-of-use assets

  1. TRADE RECEIVABLES

| | 2024
RMB'000 | 2023
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Trade receivables | 96,950 | 19,968 |
| Impairment | (2,424) | (545) |
| Total | 94,526 | 19,423 |

The Group's trading terms with its customers are mainly on credit. The credit period is generally 30 to 90 days for major customers. Each customer has a maximum credit limit. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control department to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. In view of the aforementioned and the fact that the Group's trade receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.

An ageing analysis of the trade receivables as at the end of the reporting period, based on the invoice date and net of loss allowance, is as follows:

| | 2024
RMB'000 | 2023
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Within 3 months | 75,807 | 16,454 |
| 4 to 6 months | 11,482 | 2,182 |
| 7 to 9 months | 6,283 | 109 |
| 10 to 12 months | 954 | 678 |
| Total | 94,526 | 19,423 |


The movements in the loss allowance for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:

| | 2024
RMB'000 | 2023
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| At beginning of year | 545 | 118 |
| Impairment losses | 1,879 | 427 |
| At end of year | 2,424 | 545 |

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on aging. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Generally, trade receivables are written off if past due for more than one year and are not subject to enforcement activity.

Set out below is the information about the credit risk exposure on the Group's trade receivables using a provision matrix:

As at 31 December 2024

With 3 months 4 to 6 months 7 to 9 months 10 to 12 months Over 12 months Total
