II. OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

  • (I) The Company’s operations, financial position and major factors affecting the results of operations during the reporting period

During the reporting period, the Company achieved operating revenue of RMB1,082,995,200, representing an increase of 40.26% year-on-year; the net loss attributable to owners of the parent was RMB1,540,094,900; the net loss attributable to owners of the parent after deducting non-recurring gains and losses was RMB1,572,211,400.

At the end of the reporting period, the Company’s total assets amounted to RMB5,527,862,800, a decrease of 8.19% from the beginning of the period; the owner’s equity attributable to the parent amounted to RMB3,425,751,000, a decrease of 31.21% from the beginning of the period.

Despite the fast growth in sales revenue from telitacicept and disitamab vedotin in this year, R&D investment remained at a high level due to the continuous advancement of Company’s new drug R&D pipeline and a number of innovative drugs at the critical experimental study stage. At the same time, the Company has made more commercialisation investments such as team building expenses and expenditures on academic promotional activities in order to expand its market share. Therefore, the Company recorded a net loss for 2023, with losses before and after deducting nonrecurring gains and losses.

  • (II) Major reasons for the increase/decrease of 30% or more in the items in the above table

  • During the reporting period, the Company recorded a year-on-year increase of 40.26% in operating revenue, largely due to an increase in sales revenue as a result of the rise in sales volumes of telitacicept and disitamab vedotin for injection.

  • During the reporting period, operating revenue, total profit, net profit attributable to owners of the parent, net profit attributable to owners of the parent after deducting non-recurring gains and losses, basic earnings per share and weighted average return on net assets recorded a year-on-year decrease over last year, largely due to the significant increase in R&D expenses as a result of the continuous advancement of each R&D pipeline and a number of innovative drugs being at the critical experimental study stage. In addition, the commercial sales investments such as team building expenses and expenditures on academic promotional activities increased.

  • At the end of the reporting period, the owner’s equity attributable to the parent and the net assets per share attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 31.21% and 37.46%, respectively, as compared with that at the beginning of the period, largely due to the increase in losses as a result of the above reasons.
