Impairment losses under ECL model, net of reversal increased from RMB334.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB671.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to comprehensive assessment of recoverability, as well as parameters such as discount rate, leading to the increase in provision calculated by the ECL model.

Impairment losses of non-financial assets

Impairment losses of non-financial assets increased from RMB115.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB234.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily stemmed from the Company’s strategic realignment of operations and the impairment losses of non-current non-financial assets incurred during the resource integration process.

Impairment losses of goodwill

Impairment losses of goodwill decreased from RMB110.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to nil for the year ended December 31, 2025. The impairment recognized in 2024 was primarily attributable to challenges to future performance growth in certain business.

Impairment losses of assets classified as held for sale

Impairment losses of assets classified as held for sale was RMB120.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily related to the sale of WuXi ATU China operations. In comparison, the RMB948.4 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to expected loss on sales of ATU US and UK operations.

Share of results of associates

Share of results of associates increased from gains of RMB252.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to gains of RMB452.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to: (1) the turnaround from loss to gain in equity pick-up from WuXi Healthcare Ventures II, L.P. resulted from fair value and investment gains on certain portfolios; (2) an increase in equity pick-up gain from WuXi XDC Cayman Inc. in line with its performance.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased from RMB268.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB306.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher effective interest expense on Convertible Bonds during the Reporting Period (all of which have been converted by 2025), partially offset by lower interest expense on borrowings.

Profit for the Year

Profit for the year increased from RMB9,469.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB19,377.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily due to the Company maintaining a laser focus on and strengthening the Company's CRDMO business model, with continued revenue growth, ongoing optimization of production processes and operational efficiency, and enhanced capacity efficiency resulting from growth in late-stage clinical and commercial projects, all of which contributed to the increase in net profit. In addition, the investment income from sale of a partial interest in an associate WuXi XDC Cayman Inc. and from divestiture of certain business during the Reporting Period, further contributed to the increase in net profit.

Cash Flows

RMB million | 2024
RMB million |
| --- | --- | --- |

| Net cash used in investing activities | (1,167.4) | (5,098.0) |
| Net cash from (used in) financing activities | 1,122.7 | (3,832.7) |
| Free cash flow | 10,888.1 | 7,983.3 |

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash from operating activities of the Company amounted to RMB16,426.3 million, representing an increase of 37.0% as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the strong profit growth during the Reporting Period, coupled with healthy working capital turnover management and continuously improving financial management capabilities, further strengthening financial stability.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities of the Company amounted to RMB1,167.4 million, representing a decrease of 77.1% as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the significant cash inflow from sale of a partial interest in an associate WuXi XDC Cayman Inc. and from divestiture of certain business during the Reporting Period.


For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash from financing activities of the Company amounted to RMB1,122.7 million, while net cash used in financing activities of the Company amounted to RMB3,832.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The turnaround was primarily due to the cash inflows from the placing of new H Shares, partially offset by incremental cash outflows related to 2024 Profit Distribution, 2025 Special Dividend Distribution and 2025 Mid-Year Dividend Distribution during the Reporting Period.

Indebtedness

As at December 31, 2025, total liabilities of the Company amounted to RMB22,873.3 million (December 31, 2024: RMB21,240.2 million), the composition of which was 34.2% being trade and other payables, 34.1% being bank borrowings, 11.8% being contract liabilities, 11.0% being income tax payables and 8.9% being other items.

As at December 31, 2025, the gearing ratio, calculated as total liabilities over total assets, was 22.2%, as compared with 26.4% as at December 31, 2024. The lower ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in the Company's total assets derived from the increase in profit for the year and the proceeds from the placing of H Shares during the year.

Treasury Policies

Currently, the Group follows a set of treasury policies to manage its capital resources, foreign exchange and cash flows to prevent related risks. The Group applied its cash flows from operations, bank loans and proceeds from the issuance of bonds and new shares to satisfy its operational and investment needs.

Certain entities in the Group have sales and purchases in foreign currencies, which expose the Group to foreign exchange risks. In addition, certain entities in the Group also have receivables and payables which are denominated in currencies other than their respective functional currencies. The Group is mainly exposed to the foreign currency of the USD. During the Reporting Period, the Group used derivative contracts to hedge against part of our exposure to foreign exchange risks.

B. Non-IFRS Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with IFRS, we use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted non-IFRS gross profit, adjusted non-IFRS net profit attributable to the owners of the Company and adjusted free cash flow (collectively the “adjusted non-IFRS measures”) as additional financial measures.

The adjusted non-IFRS measures are not an alternative to (i) profit before income tax or profit for the period (as determined in accordance with IFRS) as a measure of our operating performance, (ii) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of our ability to meet our cash needs, or (iii) any other measures of performance or liquidity.

The Company believes that the adjusted non-IFRS measures are useful for understanding and assessing underlying business performance and operating trends, and that the Company’s management and investors may benefit from referring to these measures in assessing the Group’s financial performance by eliminating the impact of certain unusual, non-recurring, non-cash and/or non-operating items that the Group does not consider indicative of the performance of the Group’s business.

The management of the Group believes such adjusted non-IFRS measures are widely accepted and adopted in the industry in which the Group operates. However, the presentation of the adjusted non-IFRS measures is not intended to be (and should not be) considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. Shareholders and potential investors should not view the adjusted non-IFRS measures on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under IFRS, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies.

Note 1: The discrepancies between the total and sums of amounts in the table above are due to rounding.
Note 2: The adjustments made to the adjusted non-IFRS gross profit mentioned above are the same as those made to the adjusted non-IFRS net profit attributable to the owners of the Company at the gross profit level.


Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Year ended December 31, 2025 RMB Million Year ended December 31, 2024 RMB Million
Net cash from operating activities 16,426.3 11,986.8
Add: Tax impact of sale of a partial interest in an associate 242.7
Adjusted net cash from operating activities 16,669.0 11,986.8
Less: Capital expenditures (5,538.2) (4,003.5)
Adjusted free cash flow 11,130.8 7,983.3

Note: Free cash flow refers to the net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures. The adjustments to free cash flow primarily relate to income tax expenditures related to significant transactions, mainly equity or business sales, disclosed in Company's announcements. Specifically, adjusted free cash flow in 2025 excludes the tax payment impact relating to the sale of a partial interest in an associate, WuXi XDC Cayman Inc., which was initially recognized in net cash from operating activities. As the sales constitute material non-recurring activities with related proceeds reflected in net cash from investing activities, this adjustment is necessary to ensure an accurate representation of core operating cash flows and to maintain meaningful period-to-period comparability of our financial results.

THE MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

A. Industry Landscape and Trends

The global pharmaceutical research and production service industry is expected to maintain rapid growth, driven by a higher proportion of outsourcing from large pharmaceutical companies and the increasing demands from small and medium pharmaceutical companies. On the one hand, the innovative drug R&D industry is characterized by large investments, long cycles, and high risks. As a result of low R&D returns and the "patent cliff" faced by drug manufacturers, large pharmaceutical companies are expected to promote R&D projects through external R&D institutes to improve R&D efficiency and reduce R&D costs. On the other hand, small pharmaceutical companies, including small and medium pharmaceutical and life science companies and individual entrepreneurs, have become a major driving force for pharmaceutical innovation. These small and medium pharmaceutical companies do not have the sufficient time or capital to build their own R&D project laboratories and production facilities but need various services to meet their needs of R&D project in a short period of time. They will seek R&D and production outsourcing services, especially integrated end-to-end R&D services, to fulfill their R&D service needs from concept verification to product launch. According to the latest Frost & Sullivan report published in September 2025, global pharmaceutical industry R&D investment will increase from USD277.6 billion in 2024 to USD373.1 billion in 2029, with a CAGR of approximately 6.1%.

The global pharmaceutical R&D services industry, especially platform companies with global new drug R&D and production service capabilities, are expected to benefit from the rapid growth of global new drug R&D investment and outsourcing rates. According to the Frost & Sullivan report, the outsourcing ratio of the global pharmaceutical R&D investment is expected to increase from 51.9% in 2024 to 60.0% in 2029. The report also predicts that the market for global outsourcing services provided by pharmaceutical R&D service companies (excluding large-molecule and CGT CDMO) will increase from USD136.5 billion in 2024 to USD239.5 billion in 2029, with a CAGR of approximately 11.9%.

It has systematically presented our targets, actions and progress, responding to the expectations of regulators, customers and other stakeholders for our long-term sustainable development.

Our sustainable development management practices have also been highly recognized by globally leading ESG rating agencies.

Going forward, while further developing our core business and striving for progress, we will continue to implement our sustainable development strategy and work with all sectors of society to build a healthier and more sustainable future.

D. Potential Risks

(1) Risk of market demands decline in drug R&D services

Our business operation relies on expenditures and demands of our customers (including multi-national pharmaceutical companies, life science companies, start-ups, and scholars and non-profit research organizations, etc.) on outsourcing services, i.e., discovery, analytical testing, development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, etc. In the past, benefiting from continuous growth of the global pharmaceutical market and the increase of R&D budgets and the proportion of outsourcing services of our customers, the demands on our services from our

  • 33 -

customers continued to rise. Our business operation could be adversely impacted if the industry growth slows down or percentages of outsourcing services decline. In addition, any merger, consolidation and R&D budget adjustment of pharmaceutical players might also impact our customers' R&D expenditures and outsourcing demands, resulting in adverse impact on our business operation.

(2) Risk of changes in regulatory policy of the industry

The drug R&D services industry is heavily regulated by regulators including drug administrations in any nation or region where we have established our presence, which typically regulate drug R&D services players through development of relevant policies, laws and regulations. The scope of regulation may cover various aspects such as technical specifications and standards and requirements for cross-border outsourcing services and production. Systems of policies, laws and regulations in the drug R&D services industry are well established in developed countries. In China, regulators such as the NMPA also have gradually developed and continuously refined relevant laws and regulations subject to market development. In case we fail to timely adjust our operating strategy to adapt to changes of industrial policies and laws and regulations in the drug R&D services industry in corresponding nations or regions, potential adverse impact might be caused to our business operation.

(3) Risk of heightened competition in the drug R&D services industry

Currently, competition in the global drug R&D services market is getting increasingly intense. Our competitors in particular segments mainly include specialized CROs/CDMOs and in-house R&D department of large pharmaceutical companies, among which, most are large global pharmaceutical companies or R&D organizations, which may enjoy advantages over us in terms of financial strength, technological capabilities and customer base.

Aside from the aforementioned incumbents, we also face competition from new entrants, which either have greater financial strength, more effective business channels or stronger R&D capabilities in respective segment. We will face risk resulted from heightened competition in the pharmaceutical market and weakened competitive edge in case we fail to enhance our overall R&D strength and other strengths in business competition.

– 34 –


(4) Business compliance risk

We have always attached great importance to the compliance of our business operation and gradually established a relatively complete internal control system, which requires our staff to abide by relevant laws and regulations and carry out business activities in accordance with relevant laws. Although we have developed a comprehensive internal control and compliance approval system as well as standard operating procedures to ensure legitimacy and compliance of our daily operation, our business operation will be adversely impacted to a certain degree resulting from failure to obtain qualifications required for daily R&D, testing analysis and production, or to completing necessary approval and filing processes or to timely coping with any regulatory requirement put forward or added by the regulators due to ineffective supervision on subsidiaries or departments by the parent company and senior management in actual practices given the number of subsidiaries we control.

(5) Risk of global operation and change of international policy

We have built or acquired a number of companies to fuel our global business expansion and accumulated abundant experience of global operation over the years. During the Reporting Period, our revenue from global operation accounted for a significant proportion of our main business revenue. Given that we are required to abide by the laws and regulations of the nations and regions where we carry out business operations and rely on suppliers of raw materials, customers and technical service providers to ensure our orderly daily operation, our normal global operation and sustainable development may be impacted and subject to potential adverse impact in case any of the following circumstances occurs, including material change of laws, regulations, industrial policies or political and economic environment of any nation or region where we carry out business operation, or any other factors beyond our control such as international tension, war, trade sanction, or other force majeure.

(6) Risk of loss of key scientific staff

Our key scientific staff is an important part of our core competence as well as foundation and key to our survival and growth. Maintenance of a stable team of key scientific staff and attraction of talents to join us play a key role on our abilities to keep our leading position in the industry in terms of technological capabilities and continuity of our R&D and manufacturing services. Turnover of key scientific staff might occur if we lose our competitive edge in terms of compensation, incentive mechanism on core technical staff fails to give its full play or human resources management/control or internal promotion system could not be effectively implemented, which will in turn adversely affect our core competitiveness and sustainable profitability.

  • 35 -

(7) Risk of failure in business expansion

We anticipate that our customers' outsourcing demands on drug R&D, commercial manufacturing and clinical development will increase on an ongoing basis. In order to continuously meet market demands and seize the growth opportunity, we need to invest a great deal of capital and resources and continue to push forward strengthening of our capabilities and expansion of scale globally. Adverse impact might be caused to our business, financial and operating performances and outlook in case our entry into new segment suffers unforeseeable delay due to delay in construction and regulatory issues, or we fail to achieve our growth targets.

(8) Exchange Rate risk

Most of the Company's revenue was settled in USD. If RMB appreciates significantly in the future, the resulting RMB income may decrease correspondingly after conversion; concurrently, the exchange of the Company's USD assets into RMB may incur foreign exchange losses, which may directly impact our profitability as a result.

(9) Risk of material impact on value of our assets at fair value by market fluctuation

Value of our assets or liabilities measured at fair value, such as equity interests in listed companies and non-listed underlying investment interests, and biological assets, are measured at the fair value at the end of each Reporting Period, with the changes in fair value recognized in current profit and loss. Among which, our equity interests in listed companies and other non-listed underlying interests are recorded as other non-current financial assets measured at fair value, the value of which could be greatly affected by market fluctuations. We pay close attention to the trend of the share price on the investee listed companies with a view to making timely investment decisions with these investee companies. As we mark-to-market the fair value of certain of our investments on a periodic basis, we expect the fair value of our financial assets at fair value, especially the value of shares in publicly-traded companies held by us, may be significantly changed by capital market fluctuations which may cause significant fluctuations on our net profit and further affect our results.

  • 36 -

(10) Risks of impact of emergencies and force majeure on our operation

Emergent public health emergencies, earthquakes, typhoons and other force majeure events may affect our operation. In response to these situations, we have developed business continuity plans to timely and systematically facilitate the resumption of the critical operations, functions, and technology in the pre-and post-crisis periods and during the crisis, ensuring that our business can continue to develop feasibly and steadily. However, if our business continuity plans fail to cope with the impact of relevant emergencies and force majeure events, it may have an adverse impact on our business, finance, operational performance and prospects.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company is committed to ensuring that its affairs are conducted in accordance with high ethical standards. This reflects its belief that, in the achievement of its long-term objectives, it is imperative to act with probity, transparency and accountability. By so acting, the Company believes that Shareholder wealth will be maximized in the long term and that its employees, those with whom it does business and the communities in which it operates will all benefit. The Board is of the view that, the Company has complied with the relevant code provisions contained in the CG Code during the Reporting Period, save for deviation from code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code.

Pursuant to code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code, the responsibility between the chairman and chief executive officer should be segregated and should not be performed by the same individual. However, the Company does not have a separate chairman and chief executive officer and Dr. Ge Li currently performs these two roles. The Board considers that vesting the roles of chairman and chief executive officer in the same person is beneficial to the management of the Group. The balance of power and authority is ensured by the operation of the senior management and the Board, which comprises experienced individuals. The Board currently comprises four executive Directors (including Dr. Ge Li), two non-executive Directors and five independent non-executive Directors and therefore has a fairly strong independence element in its composition.

The Board will continue to review and monitor its code of corporate governance practices of the Company with an aim to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance.

DIRECTORS' SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The Company has devised its own code of conduct regarding Directors' dealings in the Company's securities (the "Code of Conduct") on terms no less exacting than the Model Code as set out in Appendix C3 to the Listing Rules.

Specific enquiry has been made of all the Directors and the Directors have confirmed that they have complied with the Model Code and the Code of Conduct throughout the Reporting Period.


The Company has also established written guidelines (the “Employees Written Guidelines”) no less exacting than the Model Code for securities transactions by employees who are likely to be in possession of unpublished price-sensitive information of the Company. No incident of non-compliance of the Employees Written Guidelines by the employees was noted by the Company.

The Audit Committee has reviewed with management and external auditor the consolidated financial information of the Group for the Reporting Period, including accounting principles and practices adopted by the Group and discussed internal controls and financial reporting matters.

Scope of work of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu

Other than additional/change in accounting policies resulting from application of amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards, the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are the same as those presented in the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

3. APPLICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In the current year, the Group has applied the following amendments to an IFRS Accounting Standard as issued by the IASB for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the Group’s annual period beginning on January 1, 2025 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

Amendments to IAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability
The application of the amendments to an IFRS Accounting Standard in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Based on the Group’s internal organisation structure, management requirements and internal reporting system, the Group’s operations are divided into different segments whose operating results are regularly evaluated by the Group’s management to determine the allocation of resources to them and evaluate their performance. In order to provide more focused and relevant accounting information in the financial report to reflect the Group’s current main businesses and growth drivers, the continuing operations are primarily divided into WuXi Chemistry, WuXi Testing, WuXi Biology and Others. These reportable segments are determined based on the nature of the business. This change does not affect the financial statement data and presentation, and it only affects the presentation of segment reporting. Prior year segment disclosures have been represented to conform with the current year’s presentation.
