Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was RMB208.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 8.3% increase from RMB192.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, due to the increase of production. Our cost of sales consists of material costs, staff compensation, utilities and other overhead, depreciation and amortization, share-based payment compensation, and others. The following table sets forth a breakdown of its cost of sales by nature in absolute amount for the years indicated.

Year ended December 31, Year-on-year change (%)

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Other Income and Gains

Our other income and gains decrease by 36.6% from RMB59.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB37.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As we fulfilled all the conditions attaching to the Bond-related Grant (as defined in the Prospectus) in June 2024, the remaining Bond-related Grant is recognized as other income in 2024 and is one-off in nature. In 2025, we recognized higher bank interest which offsets the decrease.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses were RMB45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 5.9% increase from RMB42.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase of staff compensation.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were RMB75.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 2.4% increase from RMB73.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to the increase of professional service fees and staff compensation.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were RMB29.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 1.1% increase from RMB28.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of material cost.

Other Expenses

Other expenses were RMB14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to RMB0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly due to the increase in foreign exchange losses during the year.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was RMB33.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to approximately RMB19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was composed of current and deferred tax.

Fair Value Gains/(losses) on Financial Liabilities at FVTPL

The change in the fair value on financial liabilities at FVTPL was primarily attributable to changes in the valuation of our Company.

Profit for the Year

As a result of the foregoing, the profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 reached RMB217.4 million, compared with a profit of RMB59.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Non-IFRS Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (the "IFRSs"), the Group also use adjusted net profit (non-IFRS measure) and adjusted net profit margin (non-IFRS measure) as an additional financial measure, which is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRSs.

The Group believes adjusted net profit (non-IFRS measure) and adjusted net profit margin (non-IFRS measure) provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they help our management. However, our presentation of adjusted net profit (non-IFRS measure) and adjusted net profit margin (non-IFRS measure) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The use of adjusted net profit (non-IFRS measure) and adjusted net profit margin (non-IFRS measure) has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for an analysis of, our results of operations or financial condition as reported under IFRSs.

The Group defines adjusted net profit (non-IFRS measure) for the year, as profit for the year adjusted by adding back (i) fair value gains or losses on financial liabilities at FVTPL comprising fair value gains or losses on convertible bonds and redemption liabilities, of which the redemption liabilities converted into equity upon the Listing, (ii) share-based payment compensation, which are non-cash in nature, and (iii) listing expenses, and adjusted net profit margin (non-IFRS measure) as adjusted net profit (non-IFRS measure) divided by revenue.

For the year ended December 31,

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Liquidity and Capital Resource

The Board and the Audit Committee constantly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that the Company maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group funded its cash requirements primarily from business operations, capital contribution from shareholders and issuance of equity shares as major sources of liquidity. With respect to cash management, our objective is to optimize liquidity to secure a stable return for shareholders in a risk-averse manner. Specifically, the Group has policies in place to monitor and manage the settlement of trade receivables. When determining the credit term of a customer, the Group considers a number of factors, including length of past cooperation and its past payment timeliness. To monitor the settlement of our trade receivables and avoid credit losses, the Group conducts annual review of each customer's financial performance, which is primarily based on the amount and aging of the trade receivables due from such customer in the respective period.

The Group had cash and cash equivalents of RMB887.6 million as of December 31, 2025, as compared to RMB387.2 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to cash generated from operation and proceeds from the Global Offering. Most of the cash and cash equivalents of the Group were denominated in Renminbi and U.S. dollars. Most of the time deposits of the Group were denominated in U.S. dollars.

Significant Investments

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Bank Borrowings and Gearing Ratio

As of December 31, 2025, the Group's outstanding borrowings amounted to RMB30.0 million, all of which were unsecured borrowings.

As of December 31, 2025, the Group's gearing ratio (i.e. total liabilities divided by total assets) was 12.6% (as of December 31, 2024: 72.8%), which was mainly due to the changed balance of redemption liabilities on equity shares and the proceeds from the Global Offering.

Contingent Liabilities

As of December 31, 2025, the Group did not have any material contingent liabilities or guarantees.

Charges on Assets

As of December 31, 2025, the Group did not pledge or charge any other assets except for the restricted cash pledged for foreign exchange trading and other operating activities.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our foreign currency transactions, including sales, expose us to foreign currency risk. Certain of our bank balances and cash, trade receivables and trade payables are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the relevant group entities and expose us to such foreign currency risk (mainly related to US dollar, Hong Kong dollar, and European dollar). For the year ended December 31, 2025, no financial instruments were used for hedging purposes, and the Group did not commit to any financial instruments to hedge its exposure to exchange rate risk.

The Directors and senior management will continue to monitor the foreign exchange exposure and will consider applicable derivatives when necessary.

There are certain key risks and uncertainties involved in our operations, some of which are beyond our control. Set out below are the material risks and uncertainties that we face:

  • Competition in the CRDMO market for GLP-1 products may intensify as the growing GLP-1 market attracts more market entrants.
  • If we fail to implement our expansion plan to enhance our manufacturing capabilities as planned, or if such plan fails to achieve expected benefits, our business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

The Board is pleased to present the Corporate Governance Report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025.

CORPORATE PURPOSE, CULTURE AND STRATEGY

The Company's vision is to "expand the world of peptide and oligonucleotides, serving life science", and we firmly believe that the Company is moving forward towards this goal. The management team has put our corporate culture into practice by working harder and more diligently to deliver excellent performance.

The Board consistently ensures that all members of the Group are guided by our purpose and strategy, align the corporate culture in their daily work, and work together as one to promote quality development led by an advanced culture. The Group's operating practices, internal policies and stakeholder relationships give us the opportunity to actively practice our corporate culture and values in a multi-dimensional and holistic manner, which may create stable and sustainable business development and growth and bring long-term value to shareholders. The Company will take big strides, maintain the momentum of growth and continue to be a trusted global integrated Tides CRDMO partner to accelerate and transform discovery, development and manufacturing in the fast growing field of peptide and oligonucleotide to benefit patients worldwide.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Company was incorporated on June 11, 2020 as a limited liability company under the laws of the PRC, and the H shares of the Company were listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on June 30, 2025, since which time the Corporate Governance Code as set out in Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules has been applicable to the Company.

The Company and our Directors are committed to upholding and implementing the highest standards of corporate governance and recognize the importance of protecting the rights and interests of all shareholders of the Company. Save as disclosed below, the Company has complied with all the applicable code provisions set out in the Corporate Governance Code throughout the period from the Listing Date up to the date of this report.

Pursuant to code provision C.2.1 in Part 2 of the Corporate Governance Code, companies listed on the Stock Exchange are expected to comply with, but may choose to deviate from the requirement that the responsibilities between the chairperson and the chief executive should be segregated and should not be performed by the same individual. The Group does not have a separate chairperson and chief executive and Dr. Xu Qi (徐琪) ("Dr. Xu"), our chairwoman of the Board, executive Director and chief executive, currently performs these two roles. The Board believes that vesting the roles of both chairperson and chief executive in the same person has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within the Group and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning for the Group. The Board considers that the balance of power and authority for the present arrangement will not be impaired, given that: (1) decision to be made by our Board requires approval by at least a majority of our Directors; (2) Dr. Xu and the other Directors are aware of and undertake to fulfill their fiduciary duties as Directors, which require, among other things, that she acts for the benefit and in the best interests of our Company and will make decisions for our Company accordingly; (3) the balance of power and authority is ensured by the operations of the Board, including three independent non-executive Directors, and has a fairly strong independence element; and (4) the overall strategic and other key business, financial, and operational policies of our Company are made collectively after thorough discussion at both Board, and senior management levels.

The Company will continue to regularly review and monitor its corporate governance practices to ensure compliance with the Corporate Governance Code, and maintain a high standard of corporate governance practices of the Company.

Pursuant to the Board Diversity Policy, the Company seeks to achieve Board diversity through the consideration of a number of factors, including but not limited to gender, age, race, cultural background, educational background, industry experience and professional experience. Our Directors have a balanced mix of knowledge and skills, including knowledge and experience in the areas of pharmaceuticals, finance, corporate management and governance. They obtained degrees in various areas including chemistry, biology, pharmacy, economics, finance and business administration. Our Board Diversity Policy is well implemented as evidenced by the fact that there are Directors ranging from 41 years old to 71 years old and comprises four female Directors and five male Directors. As at December 31, 2025, we also have witnessed a balanced gender ratio in the overall workforce, with a male to female ratio of approximately 6:5.

The Company will use its best efforts to maintain at least two female representations on the Board and continue to take steps to promote diversity at all levels of the Company including but without limitation to the Board and senior management levels, to enhance the effectiveness of corporate governance of the Company as a whole. In particular, the Company will continue to put effort into maintaining a pipeline of potential successors of the Board to maintain or achieve gender diversity via different channels, such as by engaging human resources agencies to identify potential successors for the Board.

The Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing and ensuring the diversity of the Board. During the period from the Listing Date to the date of this report, the Nomination Committee has monitored and evaluated the implementation of the Board Diversity Policy from time to time to ensure its continued effectiveness. As reviewed and suggested by the Nomination Committee, the Board was of the view that the Board has achieved diversity in terms of gender, age and skill, knowledge and professional experience, and considers that the Board Diversity Policy is effective. It is currently not required to set any measurable objectives for implementing the said policy.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS

Governance Structure of Risk Management

The Company recognizes that risk management is critical to the success of its business operations. Key operational risks that the Company faces include changes in the overall market conditions and regulatory environment relating to the global peptide CRDMO service market and oligonucleotide CDMO service market, its ability to offer quality drug discovery, development and manufacturing services, its ability to manage anticipated growth and to execute on its growth strategies and its ability to compete with other CRDMO service providers. The Company also faces various market risks. In particular, the Company is exposed to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks that arise in the normal course of its business.

The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the risk management and internal control systems and reviewing their effectiveness annually. However, such systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

Governance Structure of Internal Control

The Company has engaged an internal control consultant (the "Internal Control Consultant") to perform certain agreed-upon procedures in connection with the internal control of the Company and its major operating subsidiaries and to report factual findings on the Company's entity-level controls and internal controls of various processes, including environment controls, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, internal monitoring, sales and receivables management, purchases and payment management, inventory management, production management, R&D management, human resources and remuneration management, treasury management, fixed asset and intangible asset management, reporting and disclosure, tax, insurance, contract management and information system management. Regarding the Company's internal control management, the Internal Control Consultant identified deficiencies, primarily concerning the absence of listing-related systems and the need to enhance management of process systems. In response, the Company established and implemented a corresponding internal control management system in May 2024 to regulate its operations in alignment with its business situation.

The Board is responsible for establishing and ensuring effective internal controls to safeguard our Shareholder's interest at all times. The internal control policies set out a framework to identify, evaluate and manage key risks associated with our strategic objectives on an ongoing basis. The following is a summary of the internal control policies, measures and procedures we have implemented or plan to implement:

  • We have set up an internal control department and an internal audit department, which are responsible for the overall internal control development and assessment of our Company.
  • Our internal control department is responsible for issuing and amending internal control policies, measures and procedures to ensure that we maintain comprehensive and effective internal control.
  • Our internal audit department organizes periodic inspections relating to the implementation of and adherence to the internal controls of each business department. We conduct internal control inspections through on-site visit, random sampling and other means. Upon completion of on-site visits, our internal audit department delivers to the head of the relevant business department information and statistics related to the risks discovered during the visits and any suggested remedial action. The head of the relevant business department is then required to carry out the relevant remedies.
  • The head of each business department is responsible for implementing relevant internal control policies, measures and procedures and conducting regular review regarding the implementation of such policies, measures and procedures.
  • We have adopted various measures and procedures for all of our business operations, including project management, quality assurance, intellectual property protection, environmental protection and occupational health and safety.

To the shareholders of Medtide Inc.

(Incorporated in the People's Republic of China with limited liability)

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Medtide Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") set out on pages 68 to 149, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2025, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB") and have been properly prepared in compliance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing ("HKSAs") as issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA's Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the "Code"), as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


Medtide Inc.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (CONTINUED)

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue recognition for contract research, development and manufacturing organization ("CRDMO") contracts under fee-for-service ("FFS") basis

Revenue of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2025 was RMB570 million, of which RMB531 million was derived from CRDMO contracts under FFS basis, representing 93% of total revenue.

The management of the Group recognised revenue when control of the services or goods underlying the performance obligation is transferred to customers.

Given that revenue from CRDMO contracts under FFS basis constitutes the largest proportion of total revenue, any misstatement in relation to occurrence and timing of recognition of such revenue could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Therefore, we determined the revenue recognition for contract research and development manufacturing organization ("CRDMO") contracts under FFS basis to be a key audit matter.

The disclosures of revenue recognition for CRDMO contracts under FFS basis are included in notes 2.3, 4 and 5 to the financial statements.

Our procedures in relation to the risk of inappropriate revenue recognition included:

(1) Obtaining an understanding of and performing the assessment on the revenue recognition policy adopted by the management, based on the review of sales contracts on a sample basis;

(2) Obtaining an understanding, evaluating the design, and testing the operating effectiveness of the internal controls related to the revenue recognition of CRDMO contracts under FFS basis;

(3) Performing analytical review procedures, including analyzing and corroborating the fluctuation of selling prices and the gross margin in different periods;

(4) Selecting samples from recorded revenue transactions for CRDMO contracts under FFS basis and examining evidence supporting the transfer of control of services or goods;

(5) Performing cut-off testing for revenue transactions and tracing the sample to evidence supporting the transfer of control of goods or services to determine that the revenue is recognised in the correct accounting period.

(6) Reviewing the disclosures of revenue in financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

OTHER INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REPORT

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors of the Company either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The directors of the Company are assisted by the Audit Committee in discharging their responsibilities for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.


Medtide Inc.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Hooi Wan Yee (practising certificate number: P07668).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (which include all International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards ("IASs") and Interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") 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 (RMB'000) except when otherwise indicated.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

Basis of consolidation (Continued)

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 derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, any non-controlling interest and the foreign currency translation reserve; and recognizes the fair value of any investment retained and any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognized 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 amendments to IAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability for the first time for the current year’s financial statements. The Group has not early adopted any other standard or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Amendments to IAS 21 specify how an entity shall assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how it shall estimate a spot exchange rate at a measurement date when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments require disclosures of information that enable users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable. As the currencies that the Group had transacted in and the functional currencies of overseas subsidiaries for translation into the Group’s presentation currency were exchangeable, the amendments did not have any impact on the Group’s financial statements.

In addition, the IASB has issued amendments to Illustrative Examples on IFRS 7, IFRS 18, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 36 and IAS 37 Disclosures about Uncertainties in the Financial Statements, which added illustrative examples in the corresponding IFRS Accounting Standards. These examples reflect existing requirements in the corresponding IFRS Accounting Standards to report the effects of uncertainties in the financial statements using climate-related examples. Therefore, the amendments do not have an effective date or transitional provisions.

2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements²

Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7¹
  1. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026
  2. Effective for annual/reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027
  3. No mandatory effective date yet determined but available for adoption

Further information about those IFRS Accounting Standards that are expected to be applicable to the Group is described below:

IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. While a number of sections have been brought forward from IAS 1 with limited changes, IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of the five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations and to present two new defined subtotals. It also requires disclosures about management-defined performance measures in a single note and introduces enhanced requirements on the grouping (aggregation and disaggregation) and the location of information in both the primary financial statements and the notes. Some requirements previously included in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, which is renamed as IAS 8 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements. As a consequence of the issuance of IFRS 18, limited, but widely applicable, amendments are made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, IAS 33 Earnings per Share and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. In addition, there are minor consequential amendments to other IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS 18 and the consequential amendments to other IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 with earlier application permitted. Retrospective application is required. The Group is currently analyzing the new requirements and assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on the presentation and disclosure of the Group's financial statements.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

IFRS 19 allows eligible entities to elect to apply reduced disclosure requirements while still applying the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards. To be eligible, at the end of the reporting period, an entity must be a subsidiary as defined in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, cannot have public accountability and must have a parent (ultimate or intermediate) that prepares consolidated financial statements available for public use which comply with IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS 19 was amended in 2025 to reduce the previous full disclosure requirements for new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards issued between February 2021 and May 2024. Earlier application is permitted. As the Company is a listed company, it is not eligible to elect to apply IFRS 19 and its amendments.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments clarify the date on which a financial asset or financial liability is derecognized and introduce an accounting policy option to derecognize a financial liability that is settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date if specified criteria are met. The amendments clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with environmental, social and governance and other similar contingent features. Moreover, the amendments clarify the requirements for classifying financial assets with non-recourse features and contractually linked instruments. The amendments also include additional disclosures for investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments shall be applied retrospectively with an adjustment to opening retained profits (or other component of equity) at the initial application date. Prior periods are not required to be restated and can only be restated without the use of hindsight. Earlier application of either all the amendments at the same time or only the amendments related to the classification of financial assets is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity clarify the application of the "own-use" requirements for in-scope contracts and amend the designation requirements for a hedged item in a cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope contracts. The amendments also include additional disclosures that enable users of financial statements to understand the effects these contracts have on an entity's financial performance and future cash flows. The amendments relating to the own-use exception shall be applied retrospectively. Prior periods are not required to be restated and can only be restated without the use of hindsight. The amendments relating to the hedge accounting shall be applied prospectively to new hedging relationships designated on or after the date of the initial application. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 shall be applied at the same time. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 address an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and in IAS 28 in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require a full recognition of a gain or loss resulting from a downstream transaction when the sale or contribution of assets constitutes a business. For a transaction involving assets that do not constitute a business, a gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in the investor's profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investor's interest in that associate or joint venture. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The previous mandatory effective date of amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 was removed by the IASB.

However, the amendments are available for adoption now.

Amendments to IAS 21 specify how an entity shall assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how it shall estimate a spot exchange rate at a measurement date when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments require disclosures of information that enable users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable. Earlier application is permitted. When applying the amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information. Any cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained profits or to the cumulative amount of translation differences accumulated in a separate component of equity, where appropriate, at the date of initial application. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 set out amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7 (and the accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7), IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7. Details of the amendments that are expected to be applicable to the Group are as follows:

  • IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: The amendments have updated certain wording in paragraph B38 of IFRS 7 and paragraphs IG1, IG14 and IG20B of the Guidance on implementing IFRS 7 for the purpose of simplification or achieving consistency with other paragraphs in the standard and/or with the concepts and terminology used in other standards. In addition, the amendments clarify that the Guidance on implementing IFRS 7 does not necessarily illustrate all the requirements in the referenced paragraphs of IFRS 7 nor does it create additional requirements. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

  • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: The amendments clarify that when a lessee has determined that a lease liability has been extinguished in accordance with IFRS 9, the lessee is required to apply paragraph 3.3.3 of IFRS 9 and recognize any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss. However, the amendments do not address how a lessee distinguishes between a lease modification as defined in IFRS 16 and an extinguishment of a lease liability in accordance with IFRS 9. In addition, the amendments have updated certain wording in paragraph 5.1.3 of IFRS 9 and Appendix A of IFRS 9 to remove potential confusion. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

  • IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements: The amendments clarify that the relationship described in paragraph B74 of IFRS 10 is just one example of various relationships that might exist between the investor and other parties acting as de facto agents of the investor, which removes the inconsistency with the requirement in paragraph B73 of IFRS 10. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

  • IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows: The amendments replace the term "cost method" with "at cost" in paragraph 37 of IAS 7 following the prior deletion of the definition of "cost method". Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group's financial statements.

2.4 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition date fair value which is the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.4 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Business combinations and goodwill (Continued)

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts of the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognized for non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Group's previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognized in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at December 31. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

2.4 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Business combinations and goodwill (Continued)

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative value of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Fair value measurement

The Group measures its certain financial instruments at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 – based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly
  • Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

Fair value measurement (Continued)

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories, financial assets and other non-current assets), the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's or cash-generating unit's value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, a portion of the carrying amount of a corporate asset (e.g., a headquarters building) is allocated to an individual cash-generating unit if it can be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis or, otherwise, to the smallest group of cash-generating units.

An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Property and equipment and depreciation

Property and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an item of property and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Expenditure incurred after items of property and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalized in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual depreciation rates used for this purpose are as follows:

Buildings 3.23%
Machinery and equipment 9.7% to 48.5%
Motor vehicles 6.06% to 9.7%
Computer and office equipment 9.7% to 48.5%

Where parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year end.

An item of property and equipment including any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognized in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.

Construction in progress represents buildings and leasehold improvements under construction, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value at the date of acquisition. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.

Software

Purchased software is stated at cost less any impairment losses and is amortized on the straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 to 10 years. The estimated useful life of 3 to 10 years for software is determined by considering the period of the economic benefits to the Group as well as by referring to the industry practice.

Knowhows

Knowhows with finite useful lives are measured initially at cost less any impairment losses and are amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 10 years. The estimated useful life of 10 years for knowhows are estimated based on the lifecycle of the products and current market competition.

Research and development costs

All research costs are charged to the profit or loss as incurred.

Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalized and deferred only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the project and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Product development expenditure which does not meet these criteria is expensed when incurred.

Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component and non-lease components, the Group adopts the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components and to account for the lease component and the associated non-lease components (e.g., property management services for leases of properties) as a single lease component.

Group as a lessee (Continued)

(a) Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are recognized at the commencement date of the lease (that is the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease terms and the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Office premises 3 to 5 years
Leasehold land 48 to 50 years

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

(b) Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for termination of a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate the lease. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in lease payments (e.g., a change to future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate) or a change in assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

(c) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of office premises (that is those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the recognition exemption for leases of low-value assets to leases of equipment that is considered to be of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Investments and other financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL").

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant financing component, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value, plus in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15 in accordance with the policies set out for "Revenue recognition" below.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.

The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling. Financial assets which are not held within the aforementioned business models are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Group's consolidated statements of financial position) when:

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
  • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass-through" arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses ("ECLs") for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

General approach

ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When making the assessment, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, including historical and forward-looking information. The Group considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 60 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

Financial assets at amortized cost are subject to impairment under the general approach and they are classified within the following stages for measurement of ECLs except for trade receivables which apply the simplified approach as detailed below.

  • Stage1 – Financial instruments for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
  • Stage2 – Financial instruments for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition but that are not credit-impaired financial assets and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
  • Stage3 – Financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date (but that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired) and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Simplified approach

For trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or when the Group applies the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant financing component, the Group applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Under the simplified approach, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a general matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings or payables, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group's financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables, interest-bearing bank borrowings, lease liabilities, amounts due to related parties, convertible bonds and redemption liabilities on equity shares.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. Gains or losses on liabilities designated at FVTPL are recognized in profit or loss, except for the gains or losses arising from the Group's own credit risk which are presented in other comprehensive income with no subsequent reclassification to profit or loss. The net fair value gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not include any interest charged on these financial liabilities. The Group has designated its redemption liabilities on equity shares and convertible bonds as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, details of which are included in note 29 and 30 to the financial statements.

Subsequent measurement (Continued)

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

After initial recognition, trade payables, other payables, interest-bearing bank borrowings and lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortization is included in finance costs in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or canceled, or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognized in profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis or on a weighted average method and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash on hand and at banks, and short-term highly liquid deposits with a maturity of generally within three months that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, and short-term deposits as defined above and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the country in which the Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of each of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences; and
  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

  • when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences; and
  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Income tax (Continued)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if and only if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Government grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.

Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the statement of profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments or deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and released to the statement of profit or loss by way of a reduced depreciation charge.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

When the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the amount of consideration is estimated to which the Group will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods or services to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Revenue recognition (Continued)

Revenue from contracts with customers (Continued)

The Group generate revenue primarily from peptide CRDMO services (Contract Research, Development, Manufacturing Organization) for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies provided by fee model of fee-for-service ("FFS") or full-time-equivalent ("FTE").

CRDMO services

The majority of revenue are generated through contracts under FFS model. The CRDMO services promised in the FFS contracts usually contain multiple deliverables, which are generally in the form of technical laboratory reports and/or manufactured peptide or oligonucleotides products at different scales, including laboratory scale, pilot scale and cGMP-compliant commercial scale. The Group allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, except for the allocation of discounts and variable consideration. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Group transfer control of the distinct services to its customer upon receipt or delivery of reports or products in accordance with applicable delivery terms in the FFS contracts.

For the research services provided on a FTE basis, the Group provides its customer with a project team of scientists and technical staff dedicated to the customer's studies for a specific period of time and charges the customer at a fixed rate per employee. For the services under FTE model, the Group has assessed that the customers simultaneously receive and consume benefit provided by the Group's performances. Therefore, the performance obligation of FTE services is satisfied over time and FTE revenue is recognized over the service period.

Revenue from other sources

Rental income is recognized on a time proportion basis over the lease terms.

Other income

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is recognized when a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).

Share-based payments

The Company operates a share award scheme for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Employees (including directors) of the Group receive remuneration and rewards in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for equity instruments (“equity-settled transactions”).

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. Further details are given in note 7 to the Financial statements. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in employee benefit expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to profit or loss for a period represents the movement in the cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

For awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met, no expense is recognized. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vesting irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. In addition, an expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the award is recognized immediately. This includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the Group or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and is designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

Pension scheme

The employees of the Group's subsidiaries which operate in Chinese mainland are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. The subsidiaries operating in Chinese mainland is required to contribute a certain percentage of its payroll costs to the central pension scheme. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension scheme.

The subsidiary in the US maintains multiple qualified contributory savings plans as allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code in the US. These plans are defined contribution plans covering substantially all its qualifying employees and provide for voluntary contributions by employees, subject to certain limits. The contributions are made by both the employees and the employer. The employees' contributions are primarily based on specified dollar amounts or percentages of employee compensation. The only obligation of the subsidiaries in the US with respect to the retirement benefit plans is to make the specified contributions under the plans.

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Dividends

Final dividends are recognized as a liability when they are approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. Proposed final dividends are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because the Company's memorandum and articles of association grant the directors the authority to declare interim dividends. Consequently, interim dividends are recognized immediately as a liability when they are proposed and declared.

The Financial statements is presented in RMB, which is the Company's functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of each reporting period. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising on translation of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation difference on the item whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognized in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

2.4 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Foreign currencies (Continued)

In determining the exchange rate on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to an advance consideration, the date of initial transaction is the date on which the Group initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Group determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt of the advance consideration.

The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries are currencies other than RMB. As at the end of each reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into RMB at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period and their statements of profit or loss are translated into RMB at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

The resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in the profit or loss.

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated into RMB at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of overseas subsidiaries which arise throughout the year are translated into RMB at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Group's Financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

Provision for expected credit losses on trade receivables

The loss allowances for trade receivables are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected credit loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. The provision for ECLs is sensitive to changes in estimates. The information about the ECLs and the Group's trade receivables is disclosed in note 21 to the financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES (CONTINUED)

Estimation uncertainty (Continued)

Net realizable value of inventories

The Group assesses periodically if cost of inventories may not be recoverable based on an assessment of the net realizable value of inventories. Allowances are applied to inventories where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net realizable value is lower than the cost of inventories. The identification of obsolete inventories requires the use of judgement and estimates on the conditions and usefulness of the inventories, the net realizable value has been determined based on the contracted selling price to be recognized less all estimated remaining costs to completion and costs necessary to provide the service. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the inventories in the year in which such estimate changes.

Useful lives of other intangible assets

The Group's management determines the useful lives and related amortization charges for its other intangible assets. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of other intangible assets of similar nature and functions and may vary significantly as a result of policy changes and keen competitions from competitors, resulting in higher amortization charge and/or write-off or write-down of technically obsolete assets when useful lives are less than previously estimated. The Group will increase the amortization charges where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or will write off or write down obsolete assets that have been abandoned or sold.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized in respect of deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses. As those deferred tax assets can only be recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the losses can be utilized, management's judgement is required to assess the probability of future taxable profits. Management's assessment is revised as necessary and additional deferred tax assets are recognized if it becomes probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Fair value of financial instruments

The redemption liabilities on equity shares issued by the Group are not traded in an active market and the respective fair values are determined by using valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow model.

The fair values of redemption liabilities on equity shares of the Group as at December 31, 2024 and 2025 were RMB639,805,000 and nil respectively. Further details are set out in note 29 to the financial statements. Such valuation is based on key parameters about risk-free rate, discounts for lack of marketability ("DLOM") and volatility, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results.

Estimation uncertainty (Continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets (other than goodwill)

The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets (including the right-of-use assets) at the end of each of the reporting periods. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The calculation of the fair value less costs of disposal is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. When value-in-use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Impairment of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating units and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amounts of goodwill as at December 31, 2024 and 2025 were RMB95,406,000 and RMB95,406,000 respectively and no impairment losses were recognized during the year. Details of the impairment testing are set out in note 18.

4. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

For the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group’s chief executive officer, 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.

14. EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT

The calculation of the basic earnings per share amounts is based on the profits for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 133,515,000 (2024: 125,000,000) outstanding during the year.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share amounts for the year ended December 31, 2024 is based on the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, adjusted to reflect fair value loss/(gains) on convertible bonds. The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation is the number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, as used in the basic earnings per share calculation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cost and net carrying amount at the beginning and end of year | 95,406 | 95,406 |

The Group's goodwill acquired through business combination is related to the acquisition of Chinese Peptide and its subsidiaries (the "Chinese Peptide Group") in June 2020 and the goodwill has been allocated to Chinese Peptide Group cash-generating unit (the "Chinese Peptide Group CGU") for impairment testing at the end of each of the reporting period.

The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to Chinese Peptide Group CGU is as follows:

| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Chinese Peptide Group CGU | 95,406 | 95,406 |

Goodwill is tested by management for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. As at December 31, 2024, and 2025, the impairment test is performed for Chinese Peptide Group CGU by engaging an independent valuation firm to estimate its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount has been determined based on a value in use ("VIU") calculation. The calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the projected period are extrapolated using the estimated terminal growth rates. Management leveraged their experience in the industries and provided forecast based on past performance and their expectation of future business plans and external sources of information.

The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projections to undertake impairment testing of goodwill:

| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pre-tax discount rate | 15.37% | 15.37% |
| Revenue (% compound growth rate) | 8.56% | 13.16% |
| Terminal growth rate | 2.00% | 2.00% |

Pre-tax discount rate – The discount rate used is before tax and reflects specific risks relating to Chinese Peptide Group CGU.


Annual Report 2025

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025

18. GOODWILL (CONTINUED)

Revenue growth rate – The basis used to determine the budgeted revenue is based on management’s expectation and expectation of the future market.

Terminal growth rate – The forecasted terminal growth rate is based on management’s expectations and does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the industry relevant to Chinese Peptide Group CGU.

Management of the Company has performed sensitivity test by decreasing 1% of revenue growth rate, decreasing 1% of terminal growth rate or increasing 1% of pre-tax discount rate, with all other assumptions held constant. The impacts on the amount by which Chinese Peptide Group CGU recoverable amount above its carrying amount (headroom) are as below:

| | 2025
RMB’000 | 2024
RMB’000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Headroom | 1,944,069 | 1,846,704 |
| Impact by decreasing revenue growth rate | (70,547) | (81,731) |
| Impact by decreasing terminal growth rate | (130,924) | (127,085) |
| Impact by increasing pre-tax discount rate | (171,307) | (164,713) |

No impairment loss in relation to goodwill is recognized for Chinese Peptide Group CGU during the year. Considering there was still sufficient headroom based on the assessment, the management of the Company believes that a reasonably possible change in the key parameters would not cause the carrying amount of the Chinese Peptide Group CGU to exceed its recoverable amount as at December 31, 2024, and 2025.

The Group's trading terms with its customers are payment in advance or on credit. The credit period is generally from one month to two months. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables to minimize credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. The balances of trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.

| At the end of the year | 6,179 | 4,925 |

For trade receivables, the Group has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been assessed on individual basis for debtors in severe financial difficulty, or collectively basis by using a provision matrix, estimated based on the financial quality of debtors and historical credit loss experience based on the aging of the trade receivables, adjusted as appropriate to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

29. REDEMPTION LIABILITIES ON EQUITY SHARES (CONTINUED)

Presentation and classification

The Group and the Company have designated the redemption liabilities on equity shares as whole as financial liabilities carried at FVTPL and presented as "redemption liabilities on equity shares" in the consolidated statements of financial position. The change in fair value of the redemption liabilities on equity shares is charged to profit or loss except for the portion attributable to credit risk change that shall be charged to other comprehensive income. Management considered that the fair value change in the redemption liabilities on equity shares attributable to changes of own credit risk is not significant. The discounted cash flow was used to determine the fair value of convertible bonds.

Pursuant to the special rights termination agreement dated May 15, 2024 entered into among all current shareholders, all shareholders' special rights granted had be automatically terminated upon listing, except redemption features which had be automatically terminated upon the first submission of the listing application on May 31, 2024, provided that redemption rights shall be automatically and immediately reinstated and restored upon the earlier of (i) the date when the Company's listing application is rejected, returned, or voluntarily withdrawn by the Company; or (ii) the listing has not taken place by December 31, 2026. Considering the contingency relating to the reinstatement and restoration of the redemption features is outside the control of the Company, the redemption liabilities on equity shares is assessed to be continuously measured as financial liabilities carried at FVTPL after entering the termination agreement.

On June 30, 2025, the Company was successfully listed on the Stock Exchange. Pursuant to the special rights termination agreement dated May 15, 2024, the completion of the listing triggered the automatic termination of all the special rights granted to Series A Shares and then the fair value of redemption liabilities on equity shares of RMB621,342,000 was reclassified to equity accordingly.

The movements in redemption liabilities on equity shares during the year are set out below:

| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| At the beginning of the year | 639,805 | 542,038 |

| Conversion of redeemable liabilities on equity shares upon IPO | (621,342) | - |
| At the end of the year | - | 639,805 |

The Company used the discounted cash flow and back-solve method to determine the underlying share value of the Company and performed an equity allocation based on the Option Pricing model ("OPM model") to arrive the fair value of the redemption liabilities on equity shares as at the end of each reporting period with reference to valuation report carried out by an independent valuer.

Presentation and classification (Continued)

In addition to the underlying share value of the Company determined by the discounted cash flow and back-solve method, other key valuation assumptions used in the OPM model to determine the fair value are as follows:

As at December 31, 2024
Risk-free interest rate 1.08%
DLOM 10.54%
Volatility 54.84%

The Group estimated the risk-free interest rate based on the yield of China government bond with maturity close to the expected exit timing as of the valuation date. The DLOM was estimated based on the option-pricing method. Under the option-pricing method, the cost of put option, which can hedge the price change before the privately held share can be sold, was considered as a basis to determine DLOM. Volatility was estimated based on annualized standard deviation of daily shares price return of comparable companies for a period from the valuation date and with a similar span as time to expiration.

30. CONVERTIBLE BONDS

Three-year 7.0% RMB300 million convertible bonds

In December 2020, the Company issued three-year 7.0% convertible bonds in an aggregate principal amount of RMB300,000,000 to a third-party investor, Hangzhou Heda Kontide Venture Capital Partnership (Limited partnership) ("Heda Kontide", 杭州和達康肽創業投資合夥企業(有限合夥)). According to the convertible bond agreement, the conversion period will be 3 years starting from the day the Company received the convertible bonds investment and the conversion period would be subject to 2-year extension if the Company and Heda Kontide reach a consensus. If the subsidiary of the Company, Chinese Peptide, achieved net profits of more than one billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, the conversion price of the convertible bonds will be equal to the price per share in the latest new equity financing. If Chinese Peptide failed to achieve more than one billion net profits for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Heda Kontide will have right to request the Company to redeem all of the convertible bonds. The Company needs to repay interest of the convertible bonds at 7.0% to Heda Kontide not later than December 30 each year. On March 29, 2024, the Company had repaid the principal amount of RMB300,000,000 of convertible bonds to Heda Kontide in full. Pursuant to provisions of the supplemental agreement with the relevant government authority in March 2024, the interest rate of the convertible bonds was reduced to 5.5% due to the decrease in market financing cost in China and the Company had fully repaid.

33. SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN (CONTINUED)

The Pre-IPO Employee Incentive Scheme (Continued)

Each grant of share awards needs to meet service requirements from the date of grant to the later of (1) five years since the grant date (the "Service Period") and (2) one year after successful listing of the Company (the "Lock-up Period"). In the first three years of the Service Period, 30%, 30% and 40% of the total number of share awards shall be released to eligible participants on the first, second and third anniversary date of grant date upon meeting certain individual and the Group's performance targets. The eligible participants would be repaid with original subscription price plus single digit interest if employment were terminated within the Service Period and would be entitled to portion of economic benefits of the released share awards if employment were terminated within the Lock-up Period. After taking into consideration of the best estimation of the listing date, the management determined the vesting period of the relevant restricted shares based on the above performance conditions and service requirements. As such, the share-based payment expenses are amortized during the vesting period.

Details of granted shares are as follows:

39. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair values

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, pledged bank deposits, trade receivables, financial assets included in prepayments, other receivables and other assets, trade payables, financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals and lease liabilities approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of the non-current time deposits have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

The Group’s finance department headed by the financial director is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. At the end of each of the reporting period, the finance department analyzes the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The directors review the results of the fair value measurement of financial instruments periodically for financial reporting.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

The Group invests in unlisted investments. The Group has estimated the fair values of these unlisted investments by using a discounted cash flow valuation model based on the market interest rates of instruments with similar terms and risks.

The fair values of the redemption liabilities on equity shares measured at FVTPL are determined using the option pricing model. Further details are set out in note 29 to the financial statements.

The discounted cash flow method was used to determine the fair value of convertible bonds. Further details are set out in note 30 to the financial statements.

40. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and redemption liabilities on equity shares. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group's operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The board of the directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below.

Foreign currency risk

The Group has transactional currency exposures. Such exposures arise from financing activities by subsidiaries in currencies other than the subsidiaries' functional currencies.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity at the end of each of the reporting period to a reasonably possible change in the USD, HKD and EUR exchange rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit before tax and equity (due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities).

40. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognized and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant. The Group also expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with pledged bank deposits, time deposits and cash at banks since they are substantially deposited at state-owned banks and other medium or large-sized listed banks. The management of the Group does not expect that there will be any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

Maximum exposure and year-end staging

The table below shows the credit quality and the maximum exposure to credit risk based on the Group's credit policy, which is mainly based on aging information unless other information is available without undue cost or effort, and year-end staging classification as at December 31. The amounts presented are gross carrying amounts for financial assets.
