HONG KONG and SHANGHAI, China and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., July 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUTCHMED (China) Limited ("HUTCHMED", the "Company" or "we") (Nasdaq/AIM:HCM; HKEX:13), the innovative, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company, today reports its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and provides updates on key clinical and commercial developments.

All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Strategic: clinical, financial, and regulatory progress demonstrates strong delivery on the strategy

Focusing on driving near-term value creation and establishing a self-sustaining business over the long term, with the goal of bringing innovative medicines to patients around the world.
Significant progress towards bringing medicines to patients outside China through global partnerships: closed fruquintinib license agreement with Takeda¹ in March, which can potentially bring in up to $1.13 billion in payments including $400 million upfront payment received, plus royalties on net sales.

Product & pipeline: fruquintinib advancing to global launches, with continued progress across portfolio

NDA² for fruquintinib granted priority review by the U.S. FDA³, with a PDUFA⁴ goal date of November 30, 2023. Takeda preparing for fruquintinib launches worldwide with MAA⁵ validated by the EMA⁶ in June and the Japan NDA submission planned this year. Global regulatory filings supported by results from FRESCO-2, recently published in The Lancet, and data from FRESCO.
Fruquintinib NDA for second-line gastric cancer accepted in China, where fruquintinib is available and reimbursed under the brand name ELUNATE^® for the treatment of metastatic CRC⁷; Breakthrough Therapy Designation in endometrial cancer.
All three HUTCHMED medicines marketed in China now included in the NRDL⁸.
Registration study readouts expected in the second half for two potential new medicines in China, sovleplenib and amdizalisib. New registration studies initiated for savolitinib in gastric cancer and HMPL-453 for IHCC⁹; over 15 registration studies ongoing, across seven drug candidates.
Productive discovery research continues, with another novel drug candidate in clinical development (SHP2¹⁰ inhibitor HMPL-415).

Financial: HUTCHMED remains on track to become self-sustaining in 2025

Total revenues up 164% (173% at CER¹¹) to $532.9 million for the first half of 2023, with Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenues up 294% (301% at CER) to $359.2 million.
Strategy has allowed HUTCHMED to conserve cash and significantly reduce costs, with a substantial cash balance of $856.2 million on June 30, 2023 including $400 million received from Takeda.
$258.7 million of the Takeda upfront payment recognized as revenue in the first half of 2023, resulting in net income of $168.6 million; we expect to recognize approximately $280 million of this payment for the full year.
R&D¹² expenses decreased primarily due to our portfolio optimization efforts, while the reduction in SG&A expenses¹³ was mainly due to decreased administrative expenses after restructuring our U.S. operations.

2023 INTERIM RESULTS & BUSINESS UPDATES

Mr Simon To, Executive Chairman of HUTCHMED, said, "The first half of 2023 has been successful for HUTCHMED. In late 2022, we announced our pipeline prioritization plan and intention to seek global partners to bring our medicines to help patients outside of China. Six months later, this strategy is already delivering significant results to our operations. We are successfully navigating the current challenging capital markets, while making significant progress towards our goal of becoming a self-sustaining, truly global biopharma company. Crucially, it means that we are well positioned to reach more patients than ever with our medicines."

"In March, we closed a licensing deal for fruquintinib with Takeda and we are confident that they have the commitment, expertise, and commercial infrastructure to successfully roll out this innovative medicine to patients across the globe. The FDA Priority Review PDUFA date for fruquintinib is now set for November 30 this year, reflecting its potential to deliver significant improvement over currently available treatments."

Dr Weiguo Su, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of HUTCHMED, said, "With the sharpening of our goals and priorities, we now have more resources to advance our assets and drive near-term value, and we are pleased to report on the important progress made so far this year. We have over 15 registration/registration-intent studies ongoing with seven drug candidates. Alongside this, our team has presented data at a number of leading medical conferences, including AACR¹⁴, ASCO¹⁵, ASCO GI¹⁶, EHA¹⁷ and ICML¹⁸, showcasing the productivity of our world class R&D engine. Furthermore, commercial performance has remained strong this year, with robust sales growth of our in-house developed oncology products in China. All three marketed medicines are now included on the NRDL, in line with our commitment to patient access. Moreover, our strategy means we are in a strong financial position as we look to continue developing our clinical programs. We started the second half of 2023 with $856 million in cash resources, including the $400 million received from Takeda."

"HUTCHMED is now well placed for further successful product launches and life cycle extensions. In particular, we look forward to continuing the positive momentum with fruquintinib regulatory reviews around the world, and readouts from our registration studies for sovleplenib and amdizalisib later this year. As the last six months have shown, HUTCHMED clearly has the right strategy, leadership team, and vision to become a truly global biopharma, and I am confident that HUTCHMED will continue to deliver on this potential."

I. COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS

Total revenues increased 164% (173% at CER) to $532.9 million in the first half of 2023 (H1-22: $202.0m), driven by Oncology/Immunology partnering, its strong commercial progress in China, and growth in third-party distribution sales.

Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenues were up 294% (301% at CER) to $359.2 million (H1-22: $91.1m); driven by recognition of $258.7 million in partnering revenue for the upfront payment from Takeda, and our strong product sales growth resulting from in-market sales¹⁹ up 16% (25% at CER) to $101.3 million (H1-22: $87.4m);

ELUNATE^®(fruquintinib) in-market sales in the first half of 2023 increased 12% (20% at CER) to $56.3 million (H1-22: $50.4m), reflecting its continued lead in market share;
SULANDA^® (surufatinib) in-market sales in the first half of 2023 increased 66% (79% at CER) to $22.6 million (H1-22: $13.6m), reflecting the build-up in patients on treatment over 18 months on the NRDL;
ORPATHYS^® (savolitinib) in-market sales in the first half of 2023 decreased 5% (increased 2% at CER) to $22.0 million (H1-22: $23.3m). Sales in the first quarter were impacted by customary channel fluctuations ahead of its NRDL inclusion on March 1, subsequently followed by an increase in sales volume, with the second quarter of 2023 up 84% compared to the second quarter of 2022;
R&D services income up 62% (66% at CER) to $20.4 million (H1-22: $12.6m), now also including fees from our new partner Takeda for the management of regulatory activities;
Takeda upfront payment of $400.0 million received, of which $250.1 million (62%) attributable to the license was recognized immediately. The remaining balance will be recognized when ongoing services and performance obligations are completed. Up to June 2023, we have recognized an aggregate of $258.7 million to revenue and expect around $280 million by year end; and
Successful management of commercial operations to expand coverage of oncology hospitals and physicians despite challenges of pandemic-related disruptions around the start of the year.

Measures were put in place to reduce the impact and, in the second quarter of 2023, these activities normalized.

VII. SUSTAINABILITY

At HUTCHMED, we are committed to a progressive journey as we continue to grow. This includes embedding sustainability into all aspects of our operations and creating long-term value for our stakeholders, including our staff, our communities and our shareholders. In April 2023, we published our 2022 Sustainability Report alongside our 2022 Annual Report. This year we continue to make progress in line with the commitments and outcomes outlined in the report, including achieving satisfactory progress to date towards the 11 short- to long-term sustainability goals and targets and following the recommended disclosure framework of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in line with the risks assessment. In the second half of 2023, we continue enhancing our climate risks action by conducting scope 3 emissions screening, introducing a digital data collection platform, and further strengthening our sustainability-related disclosures.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Foreign exchange impact: The RMB depreciated against the U.S. dollar on average by approximately 7% during the six months ended June 30, 2023, which has impacted our consolidated financial results as highlighted below.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments were $856.2 million as of June 30, 2023 compared to $631.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

Adjusted Group (non-GAAP⁴⁴) net cash flows excluding financing activities in the first half of 2023 were $219.3 million (H1-22: -$110.9m) mainly due to receipt of a $400 million payment from Takeda; and
Net cash generated from financing activities in the first half of 2023 totaled $5.8 million mainly due to the proceeds of bank borrowings (H1-22: net cash used in financing activities of $74.6m mainly due to the repayment of bank borrowings and purchases of ADSs⁴⁵ by a trustee for the settlement of equity awards).

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $532.9 million compared to $202.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenues increased 294% (301% at CER) to $359.2 million (H1-22: $91.1m) resulting from:
- ELUNATE^®revenues increased 16% (25% at CER) to $42.0 million (H1-22: $36.0m) due to continued market share gain, comprising of manufacturing revenues, promotion and marketing service revenues and royalties;
- SULANDA^® revenues increased 66% (79% at CER) to $22.6 million (H1-22: $13.6m) from our continuing marketing activities, increasing patient access after inclusion on the NRDL in January 2022 and long duration of treatment;
- ORPATHYS^® revenues increased 10% (17% at CER) to $15.1 million (H1-22: $13.8m) after inclusion in the NRDL effective from March 2023 and comprises of manufacturing revenues and royalties;

- Partnering revenue of $258.7 million was the first half recognized portion of the $400 million upfront payment from Takeda; and
- Other R&D services income of $20.4 million (H1-22: $12.6m), primarily related to fees from AstraZeneca, Lilly and Takeda for the management of development and regulatory activities.
Other Ventures consolidated revenues increased 57% (67% at CER) to $173.7 million (H1-22: $110.9m), mainly due to higher sales of prescription drugs. This excludes 11% (19% at CER) growth in non-consolidated revenues at SHPL of $235.3 million (H1-22: $212.4m).

Net Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $364.3 million compared to $364.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Costs of Revenues increased by 52% to $208.3 million (H1-22: $137.3m), of which cost of revenues from our Other Ventures increased by 63% to $164.8 million (H1-22: $101.0m) due to the increasing sales of third-party prescription drug products, and cost of revenues from Oncology/Immunology increased by 20% to $43.5 million (H1-22: $36.3m) due to the increasing sales of ELUNATE^®, SULANDA^® and ORPATHYS^®;
R&D Expenses reduced 20% to $144.6 million (H1-22: $181.7m), mainly as a result of the strategic prioritization of our pipeline. Our international clinical and regulatory operations in the U.S. and Europe incurred expenses of $55.6 million (H1-22: $83.6m), while R&D expenses in China were $89.0 million (H1-22: $98.1m);
SG&A Expenses were $68.3 million (H1-22: $79.8m), which decreased primarily due to the restructuring of our U.S. Oncology/Immunology commercial operations at the end of 2022 while our China commercial infrastructure was able to support further revenue growth; and
Other Items generated net income of $56.9 million (H1-22: $33.9m), which increased primarily due to higher interest income earned after receiving the $400 million Takeda upfront payment in April 2023 and foreign currency exchange gains.

Net Income attributable to HUTCHMED for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $168.6 million (which include $258.7 million of the upfront payment recognized from Takeda) compared to Net Loss attributable to HUTCHMED of $162.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The net income attributable to HUTCHMED for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.20 per ordinary share / $1.00 per ADS, compared to net loss attributable to HUTCHMED of $0.19 per ordinary share / $0.96 per ADS for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
