·      Key late-stage registration trials initiated with 15 ongoing/under review - across six drug candidates: ESLIM-02 for sovleplenib in warm AIHA⁹, RAPHAEL for HMPL-306 in AML¹⁰, and for surufatinib in PDAC¹¹.

·      Growing hematology portfolio with new programs targeting Menin and CD38, joining the existing portfolio of inhibitors and antibodies targeting Syk¹², EZH2¹³, IDH¹⁴, BTK¹⁵ and CD47.

Dr Dan Eldar, Non-executive Chairman of HUTCHMED, said, "HUTCHMED has delivered strong performance in the first half of this year. The team has made significant progress implementing our strategy in discovering and developing novel, effective medicines; conducting clinical trials in our home market and in the global markets; and rapidly advancing regulatory and commercial goals. I am very pleased with the ongoing success of our partnership with Takeda and with the growing ability of the Company to provide health benefits to patients overseas. We have grown our revenues from the US during this period and we expect to see revenue growth from many other countries in the coming months. We are also capitalizing on our proven track record of bringing new medicines and additional indications for our marketed medicines to China, with several potential NDA approvals for the next few years."

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to Mr Simon To, my predecessor, who has recently retired. Mr To has stood at the cradle of HUTCHMED and has made a very significant contribution to grow the Company and turn it into a global innovative player, discovering, developing and commercializing therapies for the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases, improving the quality of life of patients around the world. I look forward to guiding the Company along its next phase of growth, which is full of potential and promise."

2024 Interim Results & Business Updates

Dr Weiguo Su, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of HUTCHMED, said, "The HUTCHMED team has been working tirelessly to continue the outstanding clinical and regulatory momentum that we have had in recent years, whilst importantly driving the commercial success of our approved products. I would like to extend my thanks to everyone for their hard work and commitment. Our oncology product revenue has grown 59% compared to the first half of 2023 and we are progressing a more focused R&D pipeline that has considerable potential for value creation. This year we initiated three key late-stage studies across our pipeline and are excited to be running over a dozen such studies that could support future drug approvals."

"The partnership strategy that we adopted for globalizing our medicines is allowing us to simultaneously fuel our in-house R&D engine, drive sales in our home market, and bring our medicines to patients in new geographies. Takeda's impressive initial sales of FRUZAQLA^® demonstrates both the quality of our medicines and their potential across the globe and our strategy of working with partners outside of our home market."

"We expect to advance our registration trials in the second half of the year. Around year end, we anticipate the potential approval of sovleplenib in China and potential NDA filing of savolitinib in the US. We will continue to progress towards becoming a self-sustaining biopharma business." 

I. COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS

Oncology in-market sales were up 140% (145% at CER) to $243.3 million (H1-23: $101.3m), which led to strong growth in consolidated oncology product revenue of 59% (64% at CER) to $127.8 million (H1-23: $80.1m), and mainly comprised of the following:

·      FRUZAQLA^® (fruquintinib ex-China) in-market sales were $130.5 million (H1-23: nil), which was launched in the US in November 2023. Its strong performance was due to rapid US patient uptake, as well as fulfilling sales channel inventory requirements;

·      ELUNATE^® (fruquintinib China) in-market sales increased 8% (13% at CER) to $61.0 million (H1-23: $56.3m), in line with CRC¹⁶ market growth, maintaining our leading market share position while weathering greater market competition;

·      SULANDA^® (surufatinib) in-market sales increased 12% (17% at CER) to $25.4 million (H1-23: $22.6m), as doctors' awareness continues to increase, leading to greater NET patient access and market share; and

·      ORPATHYS^® (savolitinib) in-market sales increased 18% (22% at CER) to $25.9 million (H1-23: $22.0m), as it benefited from improved testing and diagnosis for METex14 NSCLC and also ongoing growth momentum in the second year on the NRDL¹⁷.

Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenue comprised of consolidated oncology product revenue, which included product revenue, commercial service fees and royalties, as well as R&D income from our collaboration partners, mainly as follows:

·      Takeda upfront, milestones and R&D services revenue were $33.8 million (H1-23: $269.1m), which included recognition of $19.4 million of the $435.0 million upfront and milestone payments already received from Takeda in cash during 2023. This compared to recognition of $258.7 million in the first half of 2023.

As a result, total Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenue was $168.7 million (H1-23: $359.2m). Including Other Ventures revenue, total revenue was $305.7 million (H1-23: $532.9m).

III. LATE-STAGE CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

Savolitinib (ORPATHYS^® in China), a highly selective oral inhibitor of MET²³

·      Completed enrollment of SAVANNAH (NCT03778229), a Fast Track-designated pivotal global Phase II study for NSCLC patients who have progressed following TAGRISSO^® due to MET amplification or overexpression, which may file in the US for accelerated approval. A small parallel study (NCT04606771) in this patient population presented data at AACR²⁴ also demonstrated higher clinical activity with the combination therapy, with safety consistent with the known profiles of each treatment; and

·      Continued enrolling SAFFRON (NCT05261399), a global, pivotal Phase III study in this patient population of the TAGRISSO^® combination supporting SAVANNAH; SACHI (NCT05015608), a similar pivotal Phase III study for patients in China that progressed on EGFR²⁵ inhibitor treatment, and SANOVO (NCT05009836), a pivotal Phase III study for first-line patients in China with EGFR mutation & MET overexpression.

Potential upcoming clinical and regulatory milestones for savolitinib:

·      Complete enrollment of SACHI in late 2024; and

·      File FDA²⁶ NDA on SAVANNAH, subject to positive results, around year end 2024.

·      Published ESLIM-01 (NCT05029635) results in adult patients with primary ITP in China in Lancet Haematology concurrently with presentations at EHA³⁸. In addition to demonstrating a clinically meaningful early and sustained durable response of 48.4% and a tolerable safety profile, it significantly improved quality of life and showed consistent clinical benefits regardless of prior lines of therapies, prior TPO/TPO-RA³⁹ exposure or treatment types;

·      Published results of the Phase II proof-of-concept stage of a study in patients with warm AIHA in China at EHA, demonstrating a favorable safety profile and encouraging hemoglobin benefits; and

·      Initiated ESLIM-02, the Phase III stage of the study, as a result of this positive data (NCT05535933).

Potential upcoming clinical milestones for sovleplenib:

·      Initiate a dose-finding study in ITP in the US/EU in mid-2024 (NCT06291415); and

·      Complete ESLIM-01 NMPA NDA review around year end.

Surufatinib (SULANDA^® in China), an oral inhibitor of VEGFR, FGFR⁴⁰ and CSF-1R⁴¹ designed to inhibit tumor angiogenesis and promote immune response against tumor cells via tumor associated macrophage regulation

·      Initiated a Phase II/III trial for treatment-naïve metastatic PDAC in China, in combination with PD-1⁴² antibody camrelizumab, nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine (NCT06361888). This study was informed in part by an investigator-initiated trial presented at ASCO GI 2024 of a similar combination. This highly aggressive form of cancer has an estimated 511,000 people diagnosed annually worldwide.

·      Presented results from China and US/European Phase I studies at EHA, showing it as an effective treatment for IDH1 and/or IDH2-mutated R/R AML (NCT04272957, NCT04764474); and

·      Initiated RAPHAEL Phase III Trial for IDH1- and/or IDH2-mutated R/R AML in China (NCT06387069).

Other early-stage investigational drug candidates

·      Presented preclinical and Phase I results at AACR, ASCO and EHA for ERK1/2⁴⁴ inhibitor HMPL-295, third-generation BTK inhibitor HMPL-760, Menin inhibitor HMPL-506, and CD38 ADC⁴⁵ HMPL-A067; and

·      Initiated Phase I trial for HMPL-506 for hematological malignancies in China (NCT06387082).

IV. COLLABORATION UPDATES

Further clinical progress by Inmagene⁴⁶ with two candidates discovered by HUTCHMED

·      Received approximately 7.5% of shares (fully diluted) in Inmagene following exercise of its option for an exclusive license to further develop, manufacture and commercialize IMG-007, a nondepleting anti-OX40 antibody, and IMG-004, a reversible, non-covalent, highly selective oral BTK inhibitor;

·      Inmagene announced positive interim results from a Phase IIa trial of IMG-007 for atopic dermatitis. Treatment led to rapid, marked, and durable improvement of skin signs in patients with atopic dermatitis, while remaining well-tolerated overall. Final results are anticipated later in the third quarter of 2024. Inmagene also completed enrollment of a Phase IIa trial for alopecia areata; and

·      Inmagene announced positive topline results of a multiple ascending dose study with IMG-004, indicating once daily dosing potential. It was well tolerated, without reports of liver enzyme elevation or bleeding events, across once daily doses ranges for 10 days. Preliminary modeling and data support 50mg once daily as a potential therapeutic dose and further development as a differentiated treatment for BTK-mediated immunological diseases.

V. OTHER VENTURES

·      Other Ventures revenue is predominantly from our prescription drug distribution operation in China. Consolidated revenue decreased by 21% (18% at CER) to $137.0 million (H1-23: $173.7m) primarily as a result of lower COVID-related prescription drug distribution sales in 2024.

·      SHPL⁴⁷, a non-consolidated joint venture, saw revenue decrease by 4% (flat at CER) to $225.2 million (H1‑23: $235.3m) mainly due to pricing reduction in a few higher-priced provinces to standardize the pricing structure of MUSKARDIA^® in preparation for potential national implementation of volume-based procurement.

·      Consolidated net income attributable to HUTCHMED from our Other Ventures decreased by 8% (4% at CER) to $34.1 million (H1-23: $37.2m), which was primarily due to decrease on the net income contributed from SHPL of $33.8 million (H1-23: $35.1m) as a result of price reduction impact from volume-based procurement, as well as increase in R&D spending.

·      We continue to explore opportunities to monetize the underlying value of our SHPL joint venture including various divestment and collaboration alternatives.

VI. SUSTAINABILITY

HUTCHMED is committed to progressively embedding sustainability into all aspects of our operations and creating long-term value for our stakeholders. In April 2024, we published our 2023 Sustainability Report, which highlighted progress made in our 11 goals and targets; our enhanced climate actions including Scope 3 emissions screening and measurement and engaging with suppliers; our enhanced data quality; our strengthened alignment of our five most relevant and material sustainability pillars; and our enhanced disclosure and sector specific disclosure standards ahead of requirement.

Wider recognition of HUTCHMED's efforts have been reflected in steady improvements in major local and international sustainability ratings including from Hang Seng, ISS, MSCI, S&P Global, Sustainalytics and Wind. Recently, HUTCHMED scored 49 for S&P Global ESG⁴⁸ Ratings, significantly higher than the industry average of 31. HUTCHMED also received the Best ESG(E) at the Hong Kong Investor Relations Association's 10^th Investor Relations Awards, two awards at Bloomberg Businessweek's ESG Leading Enterprises event, five awards from Metro Finance's GBA ESG Achievement Awards, and was listed amongst the Top 20 Chinese Pharmaceutical Listed Companies in ESG Competitiveness by Healthcare Executive.

In 2024, we continue our efforts on the above areas and further strengthening our climate action by conducting a more comprehensive climate risk assessment to quantify the impact of climate risks in our major operations; incorporate sustainability into our corporate culture; and considering future goals and targets.

Financial Highlights

Foreign exchange impact: The RMB depreciated against the US dollar on average by approximately 4% during the first half of 2024, which has impacted our consolidated financial results as highlighted below.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments were $802.5 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to $886.3 million as of December 31, 2023.

·      Adjusted Group (non-GAAP⁴⁹) net cash flows excluding financing activities in the first half of 2024 were ‑$51.3 million (H1-23: $219.3m), mainly due to $39.8 million net cash used in operating activities and $10.1 million of capital expenditure; and

·      Net cash used in financing activities in the first half of 2024 totaled $32.6 million due to purchases for equity awards of $36.1 million (H1-23: net cash generated from financing activities of $5.8m).  

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $305.7 million compared to $532.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

·      Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenue amounted to $168.7 million (H1-23: $359.2m) from:

§ FRUZAQLA^® revenue was $42.8 million, reflecting its successful US launch since early November 2023, comprising royalties and manufacturing revenue;

§ ELUNATE^® revenue increased 9% (14% at CER) to $46.0 million (H1-23: $42.0m) in its sixth year since launch, comprising of manufacturing revenue, promotion and marketing service revenue and royalties, which is in line with CRC market growth, maintaining our leading market share position while weathering greater market competition;

§ SULANDA^® revenue increased 12% (17% at CER) to $25.4 million (H1-23: $22.6m) continued sales growth after NRDL renewal as doctors' awareness continues to increase, leading to greater NET patient access and market share;

§ ORPATHYS^® revenue decreased 14% (10% at CER) to $13.1 million (H1-23: $15.1m), due to a reduction in manufacturing revenue to $5.3 million (H1-23: $8.5m), offset by an increase in royalties to $7.8 million (H1-23: $6.6m) reflecting strong in-market sales growth of 18% (22% at CER);

§ TAZVERIK^® revenue was $0.5 million (H1-23: $0.4m) mainly from sales in the Hainan Pilot Zone⁵⁰;

§ Takeda upfront, milestones and R&D services revenue decreased to $33.8 million (H1-23: $269.1m, of which $258.7m was the recognized portion of the $400 million upfront cash payment received from Takeda in April 2023); and

§ Other R&D services revenue of $7.1 million (H1-23: $10.0m), primarily related to fees from AstraZeneca and Lilly for the management of development and regulatory activities.

·      Other Ventures consolidated revenue decreased 21% (18% at CER) to $137.0 million (H1-23: $173.7m), primarily as a result of lower COVID-related prescription drug distribution sales in 2024. This excluded non‑consolidated revenue at SHPL of $225.2 million (H1-23: $235.3m).

Net Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $279.9 million compared to $364.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, reflecting our strong efforts on cost control.

·      Cost of Revenue decreased by 14% to $180.1 million (H1-23: $208.3m), which was the net result of a reduction in cost of revenue from our Other Ventures, offset by the increase in product sales of our marketed products and the cost of promotion and marketing services for ELUNATE^® resulting from the increased sales force;

·      R&D Expenses reduced 34% to $95.3 million (H1-23: $144.6m), mainly due to the strategic prioritization of our pipeline, particularly outside China. Clinical and regulatory expenses in the US and Europe were $14.9 million (H1-23: $55.6m), while R&D expenses in China were $80.4 million (H1-23: $89.0m);

·      S&A⁵¹ Expenses were $57.8 million (H1-23: $68.3m), which decreased primarily due to tighter control over our spending, while utilizing existing infrastructure to support further revenue growth; and

·      Other Items mainly comprised of equity in earnings of SHPL, interest income and expense, FX and taxes, generated net income of $53.3 million (H1-23: $56.9m), which decreased primarily due to lower foreign currency exchange gains recognized in the period.

Net Income attributable to HUTCHMED for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $25.8 million compared to $168.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

·      The net income attributable to HUTCHMED for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.03 per ordinary share / $0.15 per ADS⁵², (H1-23: $0.20 per ordinary share / $1.00 per ADS).

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

We reiterate full year 2024 guidance for Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenue is $300 million to $400 million, driven by 30% to 50% growth target in oncology marketed product revenue. HUTCHMED's work in 2024 and beyond will be supported by its strong balance sheet.
