Hong Kong, Shanghai & Florham Park, NJ - Monday, July 31, 2023: 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 Takeda^[1] 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

·      NDA^[2] for fruquintinib granted priority review by the U.S. FDA^[3], with a PDUFA^[4] goal date of November 30, 2023. Takeda preparing for fruquintinib launches worldwide with MAA^[5] validated by the EMA^[6] 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 CRC^[7]; Breakthrough Therapy Designation in endometrial cancer.

·      All three HUTCHMED medicines marketed in China now included in the NRDL^[8].

·      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 IHCC^[9]; over 15 registration studies ongoing, across seven drug candidates.

·      Productive discovery research continues, with another novel drug candidate in clinical development (SHP2^[10] inhibitor HMPL-415).

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

·      Total revenues up 164% (173% at CER^[11]) 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&D^[12] expenses decreased primarily due to our portfolio optimization efforts, while the reduction in SG&A expenses^[13] 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 AACR^[14], ASCO^[15], ASCO GI^[16], EHA^[17] and ICML^[18], 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 sales^[19] 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.

IV. COLLABORATION UPDATES

Closed Exclusive Worldwide License to Takeda for Fruquintinib Outside China

·      Takeda is responsible for development, manufacturing and commercialization in all indications and territories outside of mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau; and

·      HUTCHMED is eligible to receive up to $1.13 billion, including the $400 million upfront received in April 2023, and up to $730 million in additional potential payments relating to regulatory, development and commercial sales milestones, as well as royalties on net sales.

Further clinical progress by Inmagene with two candidates discovered by HUTCHMED

·      Inmagene initiating a global, Phase II trial in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis with IMG-007, an anti-OX40 antibody. It was safe and well-tolerated in the completed Phase I study with no reports of pyrexia or chills, which are common adverse events of rocatinlimab, another anti-OX40 treatment.

·      Inmagene completed a Phase I study with IMG-004, a reversible, non-covalent, highly selective oral BTK inhibitor designed to target immunological diseases. IMG-004 was safe and well-tolerated in this single-ascending-dose study, with a long half-life and sustained pharmacodynamic effects that are well above others in its class.

V. OTHER VENTURES

Other Ventures include our profitable prescription drug marketing and distribution platforms

·      Other Ventures consolidated revenues increased by 57% (67% at CER) to $173.7 million (H1-22: $110.9m);

·      Consolidated net income attributable to HUTCHMED from our Other Ventures increased by 5% (12% at CER) to $37.2 million (H1-22: $35.4m), which was primarily due to the net income contributed from SHPL of $35.1 million (H1-22: $33.6m); and

·      We are exploring opportunities to monetize the underlying value of our SHPL joint venture including various divestment and equity capital market alternatives.

VI. IMPACT OF COVID-19

While restrictive measures related to COVID-19 were gradually lifted in China starting from December 2022, COVꞮD-19 had some impact on our research, clinical studies and our commercial activities in the first months of 2023. 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-GAAP^[44]) 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 ADSs^[45] 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;

§ TAZVERIK^® revenues were $0.4 million (H1-22: $0.1m) from further sales in the Hainan Pilot Zone;

§ 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.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

Oncology/Immunology

We discover, develop, manufacture and market targeted therapies and immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases through a fully integrated team of approximately 900 scientists and staff (December 31, 2022: ~960), and an in-house oncology commercial organization of over 900 staff (December 31, 2022: ~870).

We have 13 oncology drug candidates in clinical trials in China, with four also in active clinical development in the U.S. and Europe. Our three medicines, fruquintinib, surufatinib and savolitinib, have all been approved and launched in China and the fourth, tazemetostat, has been approved and launched in Hainan Pilot Zone and Macau, and submitted for registration in Hong Kong.

MARKETED PRODUCT SALES

Despite some initial challenges in the first quarter of the year due to the impact of COVID-19 in China, in-market sales of HUTCHMED's novel oncology products continued to grow at 16% (25% at CER) to $101.3 million (H1‑22: $87.4m) in the first half of 2023.

Fruquintinib (ELUNATE^® in China)

ELUNATE^® is approved for the treatment of third-line metastatic CRC for which there is an approximate incidence of 105,000 new patients per year in China. We estimate that in the first half of 2023, approximately 17,000 (H1 2022: approximately 14,000) new patients were treated with ELUNATE^® in China, despite some challenges in the first quarter of the year due to the impact of COVID-19. ELUNATE^® surpassed regorafenib in prescription numbers for late-stage CRC at the end of 2021, and that lead grew to an approximately 47% market share at the end of June 2023. This resulted in in-market sales of $56.3 million, up 12% (20% at CER) versus the first half of 2022 ($50.4 million).

Under the terms of our agreement with Lilly, HUTCHMED manages all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities for ELUNATE^® in China. We consolidate as revenues approximately 70-80% of ELUNATE^® in-market sales from manufacturing fees, service fees and royalties paid to us by Lilly. In the first half of 2023, we consolidated $42.0 million in revenue for ELUNATE^®, equal to 75% of in-market sales. Our commercial team continues to be highly active, celebrating ELUNATE^®'s fifth year since it was approved and adding a further 112 (+17%) new hospital pharmacy listings in the first half of 2023.

ELUNATE^® continues to be included in the NRDL in 2023. Negotiations with the China NHSA^[47] to renew its inclusion beyond 2023 are expected to take place in the second half of this year. The new NHSA NRDL price determination scheme was published in July 2023, indicating medicines that already have reimbursement coverage will go through a simplified renewal/renegotiation process with limited further price discount, particularly for products that have been reimbursed for at least four years, such as ELUNATE^®.

Outside of China, fruquintinib will be marketed by our partner Takeda. In the U.S., commercial preparations are ongoing by Takeda to be ready for launch once U.S. approval is granted.

Surufatinib (SULANDA^® in China)

SULANDA^® was launched in China in 2021 for the treatment of all advanced NETs^[48] for which there is an approximate incidence of 34,000 new patients per year in China. In the first half of 2023, approximately 12,000 new patients were treated with SULANDA^®, compared to the approximately 12,000 new patients in 2022. The two older therapies for advanced NETs approved and NRDL reimbursed in China, SUTENT^® and AFINITOR^®, were approved in 2012 and 2014, respectively. In the first quarter of 2023, SULANDA^® had the leading share of the market at approximately 17%, compared to SUTENT and AFINITOR at 13% and 11%, respectively.

Sales growth in 2022 was strong, being the first year in which SULANDA^® had been listed on the NRDL. As a result of our continued marketing activities, increasing patient access to SULANDA^® and its long duration of treatment, total sales in the first half of 2023 accelerated, growing by 66% (79% at CER) to $22.6 million (H1-22: $13.6 million). Our commercial team added a further 103 (+19%) new hospital pharmacy listings in the first half of 2023.

Savolitinib (ORPATHYS^® in China)

ORPATHYS^® is the first-in-class selective MET inhibitor to be approved in China, launched and marketed by our partner, AstraZeneca for patients with MET exon 14 skipping alteration NSCLC. More than a third of the world's lung cancer patients are in China. Among those with NSCLC globally, approximately 2-3% have tumors with MET exon 14 skipping alterations. 

In 2021, 2022 and the first two months of 2023, ORPATHYS^® was sold as a self-pay drug. Following negotiations with the China NHSA in January 2023, ORPATHYS^® has been included in the updated NRDL since March 1, 2023 at a 38% discount relative to the self-pay price, broadening patient access to this medicine. Sales during the first half of 2023 were impacted by customary channel fluctuations following the announcement (in January 2023) and implementation of the NRDL listing (in March 2023), with increased volume in the latter part of the first half of 2023. In-market sales for ORPATHYS^® fell 5% (increased 2% at CER) in the first half of 2023 to $22.0 million (H1-22: $23.3m) resulting in our consolidation of $15.1 million (H1-22: $13.8m) in revenues from manufacturing fees and royalties. Sales in the second quarter of 2023 were substantially higher than in the second quarter of 2022 before NRDL listing, increasing 84% by volume.

Market understanding of the need for MET testing has improved significantly, with approximately half of new advanced/relapsed NSCLC patients in China being tested. In the National Health Commission's Treatment Guidelines for Primary Lung Cancer 2022 and the China Medical Association Oncology Committee Lung Cancer Group's China Medical Association Guideline for Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Lung Cancer, ORPATHYS^® was identified as the only targeted therapy recommended for MET exon 14 patients, while a similar guideline from CSCO^[49] also recommended ORPATHYS^® as the standard of care for such patients. As MET testing awareness and access increases, more patients are expected to be prescribed a selective MET inhibitor.

ORPATHYS^® is the first selective MET inhibitor on the market in China, representing the majority MET TKI^[50] sales. Several selective MET inhibitors are in development in China, but only one is currently expected to be eligible to enter NRDL negotiations in late 2023.

In March 2023, ORPATHYS^® was approved in the Macau Special Administrative Region.

Tazemetostat (TAZVERIK^® in Hainan and Macau, China; the U.S. and Japan)

In May 2022, tazemetostat was approved by the Health Commission and Medical Products Administration of Hainan Province to be used in the Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (Hainan Pilot Zone), under the Clinically Urgently Needed Imported Drugs scheme, for the treatment of certain patients with epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma consistent with the label as approved by the FDA. Launched in 2013 and located in China, the Hainan Pilot Zone is a destination for international medical tourism and global hub for scientific innovation, welcoming 83,900 medical tourists in 2020, according to official data. Tazemetostat was included in the 2022 CSCO guidelines for epithelioid sarcoma. 10 epithelioid sarcoma patients began treatment in the first half of 2023 (H1-22: none). Tazemetostat is included in 2023 CSCO guideline for follicular lymphoma.

In March 2023, tazemetostat was approved in the Macau Special Administrative Region. A market authorization application has been under review in Hong Kong since December 2022. 

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Our strategy is aimed at accelerating our path to profitability and establishing a long-term sustainable business, by prioritizing late-stage and registrational studies in China and partnering outside of China. Selected out-licensing opportunity candidates, particularly outside of China, include sovleplenib, surufatinib and HMPL-306. HUTCHMED intends to continue to run early phase development programs for selected drug candidates in U.S., E.U. and Japan where we believe we can differentiate from a global perspective.

Below is a summary update of the clinical trial progress of our investigational drug candidates. For more details about each trial, please refer to our 2022 Annual Report published in April 2023 and recent scientific publications.

Savolitinib (ORPATHYS^® in China)

Savolitinib is an oral, potent, and highly selective oral inhibitor of MET. In global partnership with AstraZeneca, savolitinib is being studied in NSCLC, PRCC and gastric cancer clinical trials with about 2,000 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in combinations. AstraZeneca has paid HUTCHMED $85 million of the total $140 million in upfront payments, development and approvals milestones that are potentially payable under the relevant license and collaboration agreement.

Savolitinib - Lung cancer:

The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for savolitinib in lung cancer patients.

Savolitinib + IMFINZI®	SOUND: MET-driven, EGFR wild type	China	II	Ongoing since 2022	NCT05374603

Update on combination therapies in EGFR TKI-resistant NSCLC - MET-aberration is a major mechanism for acquired resistance to both first/second-generation EGFR TKIs as well as third-generation EGFR TKIs like TAGRISSO^®. Among patients who experience disease progression post-TAGRISSO^® treatment, approximately 15-50% present with MET aberration. The prevalence of MET amplification and overexpression may differ depending on the sample type, detection method and assay cut-off used. Savolitinib has been studied extensively in these patients in the TATTON (NCT02143466) and SAVANNAH (NCT03778229) studies. The encouraging results led to the initiation and planning of three Phase III studies: SACHI and SANOVO were initiated in China in 2021, and the global, pivotal Phase III SAFFRON study is currently open for enrollment.

The SAVANNAH global Phase II study, in patients who have progressed following TAGRISSO^® due to MET amplification or overexpression, is expected to complete recruitment in the second half of 2023. In January 2023, the U.S. FDA designated as a Fast Track development program the investigation of savolitinib for use in combination with TAGRISSO^® for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have MET overexpression and/or amplification, as detected by an FDA-approved test, and who have had disease progression during or following prior TAGRISSO^®. We continue to evaluate the possibility of using the SAVANNAH study as the basis for U.S. accelerated approval.

The SAFFRON study, which will evaluate the efficacy and safety of savolitinib in combination with TAGRISSO^® compared to pemetrexed plus platinum doublet-chemotherapy, has now activated a majority of the approximately 250 sites in over 20 countries planned for the study, although enrollment of SAVANNAH is being prioritized until it is fully enrolled.

Two registrational studies are ongoing in China in EGFR mutated NSCLC with MET aberrations: the SANOVO study in treatment naïve patients, and SACHI study in patients whose disease progressed following treatment with any first-line EGFR TKI. Both trials are expected to complete enrollment in 2024. 

Update on MET altered, EGFR wild type NSCLC in China - The June 2021 monotherapy approval by the NMPA was based on positive results from a Phase II trial conducted in China in patients with NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping alterations (NCT02897479). A confirmatory study in this patient population fully enrolled in H1 2023 (NCT04923945). Results from the first-line cohort of this study are accepted for disclosure by WCLC.

Savolitinib - Kidney cancer:

MET is a key genetic driver in papillary RCC, and emerging evidence suggests that combining immunotherapies with a MET inhibitor could enhance anti-tumor activity. PRCC is a subtype of kidney cancer, representing about 15% of patients, with no treatments approved for patients with tumors that harbor MET-driven alterations. Savolitinib has been studied in multiple global studies in PRCC patients, including the SAVOIR monotherapy and CALYPSO combination therapy global Phase II trials, that both demonstrated highly encouraging results. These results led to the initiation of a global Phase III, the SAMETA study, in 2021. Over 140 sites in over 20 countries are enrolling patients.

The table below shows a summary of the clinical study for savolitinib in kidney cancer patients.

Treatment	Name, Line, Patient Focus	Sites	Phase	Status/Plan	NCT #
Savolitinib + IMFINZI®	SAMETA: MET-driven, unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic PRCC	Global	III	Ongoing since 2021	NCT05043090

Savolitinib - Gastric cancer:

MET-driven gastric cancer has a very poor prognosis. Multiple Phase II studies have been conducted in Asia to study savolitinib in MET-driven gastric cancer, of which approximately 5% of all gastric cancer patients, demonstrated promising efficacy, including VIKTORY. The VIKTORY study reported a 50% ORR^[53] with savolitinib monotherapy in gastric cancer patients whose tumors harbor MET amplification.

Treatment	Name, Line, Patient Focus	Sites	Phase	Status/Plan	NCT #
Savolitinib	2L+ gastric cancer with MET amplification. Two-stage, single-arm study	China	II registration-intent	~65 patient registration cohort enrolling since March 2023	NCT04923932

Preliminary efficacy and safety data from an interim analysis of 20 patients in a Phase II trial of savolitinib monotherapy in patients with MET-amplified advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal junction adeno-carcinomas or gastric cancer was reported at AACR 2023, showing promising efficacy in patients with MET-amplified diseases, particularly in patients with high MET gene copy number. Confirmed ORR by independent review was 45%, or 50% in the 16 patients with high MET gene copy number. Duration of response rate at 4-months was 85.7%. The most common grade 3 or above TRAEs (more than 5%) were decreased platelet count, hypersensitivity, anemia, neutropenia and abnormal hepatic function. The BID regimen is being investigated to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of savolitinib in MET high patients. Following consultation with the NMPA with this data, a patient registration cohort began enrolling in March 2023.

Fruquintinib (ELUNATE^® in China)

Fruquintinib is a novel, selective, oral inhibitor of VEGFR 1/2/3 kinases that was designed to improve kinase selectivity to minimize off-target toxicity and thereby improve efficacy and tolerability. Fruquintinib has been studied in clinical trials with about 5,500 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in combination with other agents.

Aside from its first approved indication of third-line CRC (in China), studies of fruquintinib combined with various checkpoint inhibitors (including TYVYT^® and tislelizumab) are underway. Registration-intent studies combined with chemotherapy (FRUTIGA study in gastric cancer) or checkpoint inhibitors (TYVYT^® combo, in endometrial cancer and RCC) are ongoing in China.

We are partnered with Lilly in China and with Takeda outside of China. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for fruquintinib.

Fruquintinib - CRC updates:

FRESCO-2 (NCT04322539) - Positive results from this double-blind, placebo-controlled, global Phase III study in 691 patients with refractory metastatic CRC were presented at ESMO 2022 and subsequently published in The Lancet. The study demonstrated that treatment with fruquintinib resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful increase in OS and the key secondary endpoint of PFS^[59] compared to treatment with placebo. The safety profile of fruquintinib in FRESCO-2 was consistent with previously reported fruquintinib studies.

Further analyses presented at ASCO GI and ASCO 2023 added to the understanding of fruquintinib efficacy and safety. At ASCO GI, results showed that health-related quality of life was not negatively impacted by treatment with fruquintinib.

ASCO presentations showed that in subgroup analyses by prior lines of therapies up to six or more and by prior treatment with approved agents, fruquintinib improved OS and PFS for all subgroups and prior therapies, consistent with those of the overall study population. A separate study showed that during the study adverse events of special interest led to low rates of dose reduction (13.6% for patients who received fruquintinib vs 0.9% for patients who received placebo) and dose discontinuation (8.3% for patients who received fruquintinib vs 6.1% for patients who received placebo).

Outcomes from the Japanese cohort was presented at JSMO 2023. Fruquintinib treatment led to results for Japanese patients in the study consistent with the overall study population.

Filing of a rolling submission of an NDA was accepted by the FDA in May 2023 for priority review, with PDUFA date of November 30, 2023. MAA filing to the EMA was validated in June 2023. NDA filing to the PMDA is expected to follow in 2023.

China Phase IV (NCT04005066) - Results presented at ASCO 2023 from a prospective, 3,005-patient study to evaluate the safety of fruquintinib in real-world clinical practice in China are consistent with the fruquintinib safety profile observed in existing clinical studies, with no new or significant safety signals identified.

Fruquintinib - Gastric cancer updates:

FRUTIGA (NCT03223376) - This randomized, double-blind, Phase III study in China to evaluate fruquintinib combined with paclitaxel compared with paclitaxel monotherapy, for second-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer, enrolled approximately 700 patients in July 2022. Its co-primary endpoints are PFS and OS. The trial met the PFS endpoint at a statistically and clinically meaningful level. The OS endpoint was not statistically significant per the pre-specified statistical plan, although there was an improvement in median OS. Fruquintinib also demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in secondary endpoints including ORR, DCR^[60] and DoR^[61]. The safety profile of fruquintinib in FRUTIGA was consistent with previously reported studies. In April 2023, the NDA in China was accepted for review by the NMPA. Full detailed results are subject to ongoing analysis and are expected to be disclosed at an upcoming scientific meeting.

Fruquintinib - Combinations with checkpoint inhibitors updates:

Advanced endometrial cancer registration-intent cohort of TYVYT^® combination (NCT03903705) - Platinum-based systemic chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for advanced endometrial cancer in China. However, patients who progress following first-line therapy have limited treatment options, and the prognosis remains poor. Initially presented at CSCO 2021, data in this endometrial cancer cohort is encouraging.

We agreed with the NMPA to expand this cohort into a single-arm registrational Phase II study. In July 2023, the cohort fully enrolled and was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation. Favorable results from this trial could lead to a regulatory approval application to the NMPA in this treatment setting in 2024.

Advanced metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (NCT05522231) - In first-line clear-cell RCC, clinical benefits have been demonstrated for the combination of antiangiogenic therapy and immunotherapy. However, there is limited evidence on the benefits of this combination in the second-line setting. Phase II (NCT03903705) data disclosed at ASCO 2023 showed encouraging anti-tumor efficacy and durability in these patients. PFS results from this exploratory study of the fruquintinib and sintilimab combination in metastatic clear-cell RCC were reported. At data cut-off on November 30, 2022, median PFS was 15.9 months in 20 previously treated patients. No new safety signals were observed.

A Phase II/III trial of fruquintinib in combination with TYVYT^® as second-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic RCC was initiated in October 2022. The study is a randomized, open-label, active-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib in combination with TYVYT^® versus axitinib or everolimus monotherapy for the second-line treatment of advanced RCC. The primary endpoint is PFS. Approximately 260 patients will be enrolled in the study.

Fruquintinib - Exploratory development:

In China, we support an investigator initiated trial program for fruquintinib, and there are over 50 of such trials ongoing in various solid tumor settings. A number of investigator-initiated trials were presented at ASCO 2023, including initial results of a Phase II study of fruquintinib in combination with investigator's choice of chemotherapy in second-line metastatic CRC with microsatellite stable (MSS) phenotype, as well as fruquintinib monotherapy for the treatment of biliary tract cancer and soft tissue sarcoma.

Fruquintinib - Partnership with Takeda:

In January 2023, HUTCHMED entered into an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize fruquintinib in all indications and territories outside of mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, where it is marketed and will continue to be marketed by HUTCHMED in partnership with Lilly. Subject to the terms of the agreement, HUTCHMED will be eligible to receive up to $1.13 billion, including $400 million which was received in April 2023 on closing of the agreement, and up to $730 million in additional potential payments relating to regulatory, development and commercial sales milestones, as well as royalties on net sales.

Surufatinib (SULANDA^® in China)

Surufatinib is a novel, oral angio-immuno kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity associated with VEGFR and FGFR, both shown to be involved in tumor angiogenesis, and CSF-1R, which plays a key role in regulating tumor-associated macrophages, promoting the body's immune response against tumor cells. Surufatinib has been studied in clinical trials with around 1,800 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in combinations, and is approved in China. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to surufatinib worldwide.

Surufatinib's ability to inhibit angiogenesis, block the accumulation of tumor associated macrophages and promote infiltration of effector T cells into tumors could help improve the anti-tumor activity of PD-1 antibodies. Several combination studies with PD-1 antibodies have shown promising data. A summary of the clinical studies of surufatinib is shown in the table below.

Surufatinib - Monotherapy in NET updates:

Ex-China regulatory discussions - Surufatinib received FDA Fast Track Designations in April 2020 for the treatment of pNETs and epNETs. Orphan Drug Designation for pNETs was granted in November 2019. While discussions in 2020 suggested that two positive Phase III studies of surufatinib in patients with pNETs and epNETs in China, could form the basis to support a U.S. NDA submission, this was ultimately not accepted. A new multi-regional clinical trial (MRCT) would be required to move forward with this program in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Following dialogue with the Japanese PMDA, we have decided not to file a Japanese NDA on the basis of the clinical trial data available at this time.

Surufatinib - Combination therapy with checkpoint inhibitors:

A Phase II China study (NCT04169672) combining surufatinib with TUOYI^® enrolled patients in nine solid tumor types, including NENs, biliary tract cancer, gastric cancer, thyroid cancer, SCLC, soft tissue sarcoma, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer and NSCLC. These have led to the initiation in September 2021 of the first Phase III trial combining surufatinib with a PD-1 antibody, the SURTORI-01 study in NEC and a Phase II study in SCLC in 2022.

We reported the results from the advanced thyroid cancer and endometrial cancer cohorts at ASCO 2023. Amongst efficacy evaluable radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer patients, median PFS was 10.9 months and median OS was not reached (median follow-up duration was 22.1 months). Amongst efficacy evaluable endometrial cancer patients, median PFS was 5.4 months and 12-month OS rate was 71.0% (median follow-up duration was 16.8 months). In both cohorts, the combination showed a tolerable safety profile. Additionally, results from the NSCLC cohort were presented at AACR 2023 demonstrating promising anti-tumor activity in first-line setting for advanced PD-L1 positive NSCLC patients with manageable toxicity.

Surufatinib - Exploratory development:

In China, we support an investigator-initiated trial program for surufatinib, with over 80 of such trials in various solid tumor settings being conducted for both combination and single agent regimens. These trials explore and answer important medical questions in addition to our own company-sponsored clinical trials. A number of investigator initiated trials were presented at ASCO 2023 for surufatinib in combination with other agents, including with chemotherapy as well as with camrelizumab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) plus different chemotherapy regimens in various solid types including pancreatic adenocarcinoma and NSCLC.

Hematological Malignancies Candidates

HUTCHMED currently has six investigational drug candidates targeting hematological malig-nan-cies in clinical development. Sovleplenib (HMPL-523, targeting Syk), amdizalisib (HMPL-689, targeting PI3Kδ), and HMPL‑760 (targeting BTK) are being studied in several trials against B-cell dominant malignancies. In addition to the three B-cell receptor pathway inhibitors, HUTCHMED is also develop-ing HMPL-306 (targeting IDH1 and IDH2), tazemetostat (a methyl-trans-ferase inhibitor of EZH2) and HMPL-A83 (an anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody).

Sovleplenib (HMPL-523)

Sovleplenib is a novel, selective, oral inhibitor targeting Syk, for the treatment of hematological malignancies and immune diseases. Syk is a component in Fc receptor and B-cell receptor signaling pathway. Sovleplenib has been studied in clinical trials with around 500 patients to date.

In December 2022, we completed recruitment of a Phase III study in China for primary ITP, for which it has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation, and presented proof of concept data on both primary ITP and hematological malignancies at ASH^[67] 2021. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to sovleplenib worldwide. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for sovleplenib.

Treatment	Name, Line, Patient Focus	Sites	Phase	Status/Plan	NCT #
Sovleplenib monotherapy	ESLIM-01: ≥2L ITP	China	III	Fully enrolled; Topline results expected in H2 2023; Breakthrough Therapy Designation	NCT05029635
Sovleplenib monotherapy	Indolent NHL[68]	U.S. / Europe	I/Ib	Ongoing; Prelim. Data at ASH 2021	NCT03779113
Sovleplenib monotherapy	Warm AIHA	China	II/III	Phase II fully enrolled; Phase III decision in 2023 pending Phase II results	NCT05535933

ESLIM-01 (Evaluation of Sovleplenib for immunological diseases-01, NCT05029635) - In October 2021, we initiated a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase III trial in China of sovleplenib in 188 adult patients with primary ITP who have received at least one prior line of standard therapy. ITP is an autoimmune disorder that can lead to increased risk of bleeding. The primary endpoint of the study is the durable response rate. In January 2022, the NMPA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for this indication. Enrollment was completed in December 2022 and we expect to release topline results in the second half of 2023.

China Phase II/III in warm AIHA - This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II/III study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of sovleplenib in the treatment of warm AIHA. AIHA is the result of destruction of red blood cells due to the production of antibodies against red blood cells which bind to antigens on the red blood cell membrane in autoimmune disorders. If the results of the Phase II stage of the study indicate sufficiently satisfactory efficacy and safety, the Phase III stage will be initiated. The first patient was enrolled in September 2022. The enrollment of Phase II part of the study was completed in mid-2023, and the results will lead to a decision on whether to initiate Phase III.

Amdizalisib (HMPL-689)

Amdizalisib is a novel, highly selective oral inhibitor targeting the isoform PI3Kδ, a key component in the B-cell receptor signaling pathway. Amdizalisib's pharmacokinetic properties have been found to be favorable with good oral absorption, moderate tissue distribution and low clearance in preclinical studies. We also expect that amdizalisib will have low risk of drug accumulation and drug-drug interactions, supporting feasibility of development in combination with other drugs. The first of such activities is in combination with tazemetostat. Amdizalisib has been studied in clinical trials with around 400 patients to date. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to amdizalisib worldwide. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for amdizalisib.

Treatment	Name, Line, Patient Focus	Sites	Phase	Status/Plan	NCT #

Amdizalisib monotherapy	2L Relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma	China	II registration-intent	Ongoing since Apr 2021	NCT04849351

Phase II registration-intent trial (NCT04849351) - In April 2021, we commenced a registration-intent, single-arm, open-label Phase II trial in China in approximately 100 patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and approximately 80 patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma, two subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The primary endpoint is ORR. The trial is being conducted in over 35 sites in China, has fully enrolled the follicular lymphoma cohort and the marginal zone lymphoma cohort enrollment is ongoing.

Phase Ib expansion study in relapsed/refractory lymphoma (NCT03128164) - This is a open‑label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of amdizalisib in relapsed and/or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Updated safety data in all patients at recommended Phase II dose (RP2D), as well as updated efficacy data from the follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma and peripheral T cell lymphoma cohorts were reported at ICML in June 2023. At median follow-up duration of 22.1 months, median DoR and PFS were not reached for the 26 efficacy evaluable patients in the follicular lymphoma cohort. PFS and DoR from the marginal zone lymphoma cohort were presented for the first time, at median follow-up duration of 20.3 months. Median DoR was not reached and median PFS was 26.8 months for the 16 efficacy evaluable patients in this cohort. Amdizalisib showed an acceptable safety profile and promising anti-tumor activity in relapsed/refractory lymphoma.

Tazemetostat

In August 2021, we entered into a strategic collaboration with Epizyme, a subsidiary of Ipsen, to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize tazemetostat in Greater China, including the mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Tazemetostat is an inhibitor of EZH2 developed by Ipsen that is approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of certain epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma patients. It received accelerated approval from the FDA based on ORR and DoR in January and June 2020 for epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma, respectively. Tazemetostat has been studied in clinical trials with around 1,200 patients to date.

We are developing and plan to seek approval for tazemetostat in various hematological and solid tumors in China. We are participating in Ipsen's SYMPHONY-1 (EZH-302) study, leading it in China. We are generally responsible for funding all clinical trials of tazemetostat in China, including the portion of global trials conducted there. Separately, we are conducting a China bridging study in follicular lymphoma for potential conditional registration based on its U.S. approvals. We also initiated a Phase II study in combination with our PI3Kδ inhibitor amdizalisib in patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma in February 2023. We are responsible for the research, manufacturing and commercialization of tazemetostat in China. Tazemetostat was approved in China Hainan Pilot Zone in 2022 and the Macau Special Administrative Region in 2023.

The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for tazemetostat.

Results from 25 patients treated with two different dosing regimens were presented at the ASCO 2023 annual meeting, supporting the choice of a recommended Phase II dose. After consultation with the CDE, a monotherapy registration trial design was agreed, and the first patient was enrolled in March 2023. 

HMPL-306

HMPL-306 is a novel dual-inhibitor of IDH1 and IDH2 enzymes. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations have been implicated as drivers of certain hematological malignancies, gliomas and solid tumors, particularly among acute myeloid leukemia patients. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to HMPL-306 worldwide. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for HMPL-306.

Treatment	Name, Line, Patient Focus	Sites	Phase	Status/Plan	NCT #

HMPL-306 monotherapy	Hematological malignancies	U.S.	I	Ongoing since 2021	NCT04764474

China Phase I in hematological malignancies (NCT04272957) - This is a two-phase, open-label Phase I study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of HMPL‑306 in patients of relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies harboring IDH1 and/or IDH2 mutations. The dose escalation phase of the study is completed. The first-in-human dose-escalation phase data was presented at EHA Annual Meeting in June 2023. Based on the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and preliminary clinical findings, a recommended Phase II dose was nominated for the dose expansion phase of the study.

HMPL-760

HMPL-760 is an investigational, non-covalent, third-generation BTK inhibitor. It is a highly potent, selective, and reversible inhibitor with long target engagement against BTK, including wild-type and C481S-mutated BTK. China Phase I studies opened in early 2022 will include relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or CLL^[69] patients with or without a prior regimen containing a BTK inhibitor. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to HMPL-760 worldwide.

HMPL-760 monotherapy	CLL, SLL[70], other B-NHL	China	I	Ongoing since Jan 2022	NCT05190068

HMPL-295

HMPL-295 is a novel ERK inhibitor. ERK is a downstream component of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling cascade (MAPK pathway). This is our first of multiple candidates in discovery targeting the MAPK pathway, followed by HMPL-415 targeting SHP2. A China Phase I study was initiated in July 2021 for HMPL-295. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to HMPL-295 worldwide.

RAS-MAPK pathway is dysregulated in cancer, in which mutations or non-genetic events hyper-activate the pathway in up to 50% of cancers. RAS and RAF predict worse clinical prognosis in a wide variety of tumor types, mediate resistance to targeted therapies, and decrease the response to the approved standards of care, namely, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. ERK inhibition has the potential to overcome or avoid the intrinsic or acquired resistance from the inhibition of RAS, RAF and MEK upstream mechanisms.

HMPL-653

HMPL-653 is a novel, highly selective, and potent CSF-1R inhibitor designed to target CSF-1R driven tumors as a monotherapy or in combination with other drugs. We initiated a China Phase I study in January 2022. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to HMPL-653 worldwide.

CSF-1R is usually expressed on the surface of macrophages and can promote growth and differentiation of macrophages. Studies have shown that blocking the CSF-1R signaling pathway could effectively modulate the tumor microenvironment, relieve tumor immunosuppression, and synergize with other anti-cancer therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors to achieve tumor inhibition. It has been demonstrated in several clinical studies that CSF-1R inhibitors could treat tenosynovial giant cell tumors, and treat a variety of malignancies in combinations. Currently no CSF-1R inhibitor has been approved in China.

HMPL-A83

HMPL-A83 is an investigational IgG4-type humanized anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody that exhibits high affinity for CD47. HMPL-A83 blocks CD47 binding to Signal regulatory protein (SIRP) α and disrupts the "do not eat me" signal that cancer cells use to shield themselves from the immune system. In preclinical studies, HMPL‑A83 demonstrated a high affinity for CD47 antigen on tumor cells and strong phagocytosis induction of multiple tumor cells, as well as weak affinity for red blood cells and no induction of hemagglutination, implying low risk of anemia, a potential event of special interest. HMPL-A83 has also demonstrated strong anti-tumor activity in multiple animal models. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to HMPL-A83 worldwide.

HMPL-415

HMPL-415 is a novel SHP2 allosteric inhibitor. A China Phase I study was initiated in July 2023. HUTCHMED currently retains all rights to HMPL-415 worldwide.

SHP2 is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase ubiquitously expressed mainly in the cytoplasm of several tissues. SHP2 modulates diverse cell signaling events that control metabolism, cell growth, differentiation, cell migration, transcription and oncogenic transformation. It interacts with diverse molecules in the cell, and regulates key signaling events including RAS/ERK, PI3K/AKT, JAK/STAT and PD-1 pathways downstream of several receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) upon stimulation by growth factors and cytokines. This is the second of multiple candidates to have emerged from our discovery research that targets this pathway, the first being HMPL-295. Dysregulation of SHP2 expression or activity causes many developmental diseases, and hematological and solid tumors.

IMG-007 (OX40 antibody)	Adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis	Global	II	Open for enrollment in July 2023	Pending
IMG-007 (OX40 antibody)	Adult healthy volunteers	Australia	I	Single ascending dose completed	NCT05353972
IMG-004 (BTK inhibitor)	Adult healthy volunteers	Global	I	Single ascending dose completed	NCT05349097

IMG-007 in atopic dermatitis - This is a novel antagonistic monoclonal antibody targeting the OX40 receptor. OX40 is a costimulatory receptor member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily expressed predominantly on activated T cells. A global, proof-of-concept trial in adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis is open for enrollment. This follows a Phase I single ascending dose study in healthy volunteers that demonstrated that IMG-007, up to 600 mg, was safe and well-tolerated, with no reports of pyrexia or chills, which were common adverse events of rocatinlimab, another OX40 antibody treatment. At projected therapeutic dose levels, IMG-007 also demonstrated a mean terminal half-life of 31-37 days. The long half-life combined with a potentially improved safety profile supports IMG-007's best-in-class potential as an OX40 targeted therapy.

IMG-004 in immunological diseases - This is a small molecule inhibitor that binds to BTK in a non-covalent, reversible manner. Designed specifically for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that usually require long-term treatment, IMG-004 is potent, highly selective and brain permeable. A Phase I single ascending dose study in healthy volunteers in the U.S., initiated in August 2022, has recently completed. It showed that IMG‑004 was safe and well-tolerated with a long half-life and sustained pharmacodynamic effects, supporting further clinical development. Results will be submitted to an upcoming medical conference.

MANUFACTURING

We continue to use contract manufacturing organizations in China to produce our clinical and commercial API^[71] supplies. For manufacturing drug products, we currently use a combination of contract manufacturers and our internal manufacturing facility.

We have a drug product facility in Suzhou which manufactures both clinical and commercial supplies for some of our products. We have also completed construction of a new drug product facility in Pudong, Shanghai, which will increase our novel drug product manufacturing capacity by over five times. The qualification of the Shanghai facility and its equipment is underway and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023. The clinical manufacturing and technology transfer for some of our commercial products is expected to start in the next few months. This is in line with our previously outlined expectations of manufacturing clinical supplies from the new facility starting in 2023 and commercial supplies around 2025, after the necessary regulatory filings and approvals.

We completed technology transfer for the API and drug product of amdizalisib and sovleplenib into the selected commercial manufacturing facilities in preparation for potential NDA filings. Process validation for these products (both API and drug product) are now complete.

We completed the NDA enabling work related to manufacturing for the global launch of fruquintinib at the commercial manufacturing sites. Process validation for API of this product was completed last year, and process validation for drug product at our Suzhou facility was completed earlier this year. A second drug product facility in Switzerland is also planned to be qualified in the second half of 2023, in anticipation for a potential European approval.

Consolidated net income attributable to HUTCHMED from our Other Ventures increased by 5% (12% at CER) to $37.2 million (H1-22: $35.4m).

Hutchison Sinopharm^[72]: Our prescription drugs commercial services business, which in addition to providing certain commercial services for our own products, provides services to third-party pharmaceutical companies in China, grew sales by 68% (79% at CER) to $166.7 million in the first half of 2023 (H1-22: $99.3m).

In 2021, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre made a final award in favor of Hutchison Sinopharm against Luye^[73] in the amount of RMB253.2 million ($35.4 million), plus costs and interest (the "Award"), in connection with the termination of Hutchison Sinopharm's right to distribute SEROQUEL^® in China. In June 2022, Luye provided a bank guarantee of up to RMB286.0 million to cover the Award, pending the outcome of an application by Luye to the High Court of Hong Kong to set aside the Award. On July 26, 2022, Luye's application to set aside the Award was dismissed by the High Court with costs awarded in favor of Hutchison Sinopharm. On June 6, 2023, an appeal hearing filed by Luye was heard by the Court of Appeal in Hong Kong and judgement is awaited.

SHPL: Our own-brand prescription drugs business, operated through our non-consolidated joint venture SHPL, grew sales by 11% (19% at CER) to $235.3 million (H1-22: $212.4m). This sales growth and favorable product mix led to an increase of 5% (12% at CER) in net income attributable to HUTCHMED to $35.1 million (H1-22: $33.6m).

The SHPL operation is large-scale, with a commercial team of about 2,300 staff managing the medical detailing and marketing of its products not just in hospitals in provincial capitals and medium-sized cities, but also in the majority of county-level hospitals in China. SHPL's Good Manufacturing Practice-certified factory holds 74 drug product manufacturing licenses and is operated by about 550 manufacturing staff.

SXBX^[74] pill: SHPL's main product is SXBX pill, an oral vasodilator prescription therapy for coronary artery disease. SXBX pill is the second largest botanical prescription drug in this indication in China, with a national market share in the first five months of 2023 of 22.2% (first four months of 2022: 21.5%). Sales increased by 8% (16% at CER) to $214.5 million in the first half of 2023 (H1-22: $197.9m).

SXBX pill is protected by a formulation patent that expires in 2029, but also retains certain state protection that extends indefinitely, and is one of less than two dozen proprietary prescription drugs represented on China's National Essential Medicines List (NEML). Inclusion on this list means that all Chinese state-owned health care institutions are required to carry it. SXBX pill is fully reimbursed in all of China.

We continue to explore divestment and equity capital market opportunities to monetize our investment in SHPL.

Dividends: Our share of SHPL's profits are passed to the HUTCHMED Group through dividend payments. In the first six months of 2023, dividends of $14.6 million (H1-22: $22.7m) were paid from SHPL to the HUTCHMED Group level with aggregate dividends received by HUTCHMED since inception of over $300 million.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this announcement also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures based on management's view of performance including:

·      Adjusted Group net cash flows excluding financing activities

·      CER

Management uses such measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the HUTCHMED Group's overall performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures provide useful and meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance investors' understanding of the continuing operating performance of our business and facilitate the comparison of performance between past and future periods. These adjusted financial measures are non-GAAP measures and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies may define these measures in different ways.

Adjusted Group net cash flows excluding financing activities: We exclude deposits in and proceeds from short-term investments for the period, and exclude the net cash generated from financing activities for the period to derive our adjusted Group net cash flows excluding financing activities. We believe the presentation of adjusted Group net cash flows excluding financing activities provides useful and meaningful information about the change in our cash resources excluding those from financing activities which may present significant period-to-period differences.

CER: We remove the effects of currency movements from period-to-period comparisons by retranslating the current period's performance at previous period's foreign currency exchange rates. Because we have significant operations in China, the RMB to U.S. dollar exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results. We believe the presentation at CER provides useful and meaningful information because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our results and increases the transparency of our underlying performance.

GROUP CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To date, we have taken a multi-source approach to fund our operations, including through cash flows generated and dividend payments from our Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations, service and milestone and upfront payments from our collaboration partners, bank borrowings, investments from third parties, proceeds from our listings on various stock exchanges and follow-on offerings.

Primarily due to a recognition of $258.7 million in partnering revenue from the upfront payment from Takeda, commercial progress achieved on our three in-house developed oncology medicines in China, as well as growth in our third-party distribution sales, we generated a net income of $168.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (H1-22: net loss of $162.9m).

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $856.2 million and unutilized bank facilities of $65.3 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had $40.1 million in bank borrowings.

Certain of our subsidiaries and joint ventures, including those registered as wholly foreign-owned enterprises in China, are required to set aside at least 10.0% of their after-tax profits to their general reserves until such reserves reach 50.0% of their registered capital. In addition, certain of our joint ventures are required to allocate certain of their after-tax profits as determined in accordance with related regulations and their respective articles of association to the reserve funds, upon approval of the board.

Profit appropriated to the reserve funds for our subsidiaries and joint ventures incorporated in the PRC was approximately $127,000 and nil for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, as a result of PRC regulations restricting dividend distributions from such reserve funds and from a company's registered capital, our PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a certain amount of their net assets to us as cash dividends, loans or advances. This restricted portion amounted to $0.1 million as of June 30, 2023.

In addition, our non-consolidated joint venture, SHPL, held an aggregate of $43.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and no bank borrowings as of June 30, 2023. Such cash and cash equivalents are only accessible by us through dividend payments from the joint venture. The level of dividends declared by the joint venture is subject to agreement each year between us and our joint venture partner based on the profitability and working capital needs of the joint venture.

Net Cash generated from/(used in) Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $89.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash generated from operating activities of $226.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net change of $316.3 million was primarily attributable to the net loss attributable to HUTCHMED of $162.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net income attributable to HUTCHMED of $168.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (which included $258.7 million in upfront income recognized from Takeda).

Net Cash (used in)/generated from Investing Activities

Net cash generated from investing activities was $259.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $316.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net change of $575.7 million was primarily attributable to short-term investments which had net withdrawals of $275.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to net deposits of $315.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net change was partially offset by a dividend of $23.9 million received from divestment of a former equity investee during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net Cash generated from/(used in) Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $74.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash generated from financing activities of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net change of $80.4 million was mainly attributable to bank borrowings which had a net repayment of $26.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to net proceeds of $22.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net change was also attributable to a decrease in purchases of ADSs of $39.0 million by a trustee for the settlement of equity awards of the Company which totaled $48.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, partly offset by dividends paid to non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries of $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 while there was no such dividend payment for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

LOAN FACILITIES 

In October 2021, our subsidiary entered into a 10-year fixed asset loan facility agreement with Bank of China Limited for the provision of a secured credit facility in the amount of RMB754.9 million ($105.5 million) with an annual interest rate at the 5-year China Loan Prime Rate less 0.8% (which was supplemented in June 2022). This credit facility is guaranteed by another subsidiary of the Group, and secured by the underlying leasehold land and buildings, and includes certain financial covenant requirements. As of June 30, 2023, RMB287.3 million ($40.1 million) was utilized from the fixed asset loan facility.

In May 2022, our subsidiary entered into a 12-month revolving loan facility with HSBC in the amount of HK$390.0 million ($50.0 million) with an interest rate at HIBOR^[75] plus 0.5% per annum. This revolving facility is guaranteed by us. The revolving loan facility expired in May 2023.

Our non-consolidated joint venture SHPL had no bank borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2023.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2023. Our purchase obligations relate to property, plant and equipment that are contracted for but not yet paid.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

A substantial portion of our revenues and expenses are denominated in renminbi, and our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. While we do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to such risk, any significant fluctuation in the value of renminbi may adversely affect our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition in the future.

The value of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China's political and economic conditions. The conversion of renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the PBOC^[76]. If we decide to convert renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us. On the other hand, if we need to convert U.S. dollars into renminbi for business purposes, e.g. capital expenditures and working capital, appreciation of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have a negative effect on the renminbi amounts we would receive from the conversion. In addition, for certain cash and bank balances deposited with banks in the PRC, if we decide to convert them into foreign currencies, they are subject to the rules and regulations of foreign exchange control promulgated by the PRC government.

CREDIT RISK

Substantially all of our bank deposits are in major financial institutions, which we believe are of high credit quality. We limit the amount of credit exposure to any single financial institution. We make periodic assessments of the recoverability of trade and other receivables and amounts due from related parties. Our historical experience in collection of receivables falls within the recorded allowances, and we believe that we have made adequate provision for uncollectible receivables.

INTEREST RATE RISK

We have no significant interest-bearing assets except for bank deposits. Our exposure to changes in interest rates is mainly attributable to our bank borrowings, which bear interest at floating interest rates and expose us to cash flow interest rate risk. We have not used any interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. We have performed sensitivity analysis for the effects on our results for the period from changes in interest rates on floating rate borrowings. The sensitivity to interest rates used is based on the market forecasts available at the end of the reporting period and under the economic environments in which we operate, with other variables held constant. According to the analysis, the impact on our results of a 1.0% interest rate shift would be nil for the six months ended June 30, 2023 because the entire interest expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were associated with our outstanding fixed asset loan and were capitalized when the underlying property, plant and equipment were under construction.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We did not have during the years presented, and we do not currently have, any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Other than as disclosed in note 11 to the interim financial statements, the Group does not have any other significant commitments or contingent liabilities.

GEARING RATIO

The gearing ratio of the Group, which was calculated by dividing total interest-bearing loans by total equity, was 5.0% as of June 30, 2023, an increase from 2.8% as of December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in interest-bearing loans.

SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS HELD

Except for our investment in a non-consolidated joint venture SHPL with a carrying value of $37.7 million including details below and those as disclosed in note 7 to the interim financial statements, we did not hold any other significant investments in the equity of any other companies as of June 30, 2023.

Place of establishment and operations		Nominal Value of Registered Capital		Equity Interest Attributable to the Group		Principal activities
		(in RMB'000)
PRC		229,000		50%		Manufacture and distribution of prescription drug products

Our own-brand prescription drugs business under our Other Ventures is operated through SHPL. Dividends received from SHPL for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $14.6 million.

FUTURE PLANS FOR MATERIAL INVESTMENTS AND CAPITAL ASSETS

Note 11 discloses our capital commitment as of June 30, 2023. We are building a new drug product facility in Shanghai, China, and will make additional investments in capital assets accordingly.

MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we did not have any other material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

PLEDGE OF ASSETS

Our 10-year fixed asset loan facility agreement with Bank of China Limited is secured by the underlying leasehold land and buildings. RMB287.3 million ($40.1 million) was utilized from the fixed asset loan facility as of June 30, 2023.

INFLATION

In recent years, China has not experienced significant inflation, and thus inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the Consumer Price Index in China increased by 1.5%, 1.8% and flat in 2021, 2022 and the first half of 2023, respectively. Although we have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we can provide no assurance that we will not be affected in the future by higher rates of inflation in China.

INTERIM DIVIDEND

The Board does not recommend any interim dividend for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Notes to the interim unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Nature of Business

HUTCHMED (China) Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") are principally engaged in researching, developing, manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products. The Group and its equity investee have research and development facilities and manufacturing plants in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") and sell their products mainly in the PRC, including Hong Kong and Macau. In addition, the Group has established international operations in the United States of America (the "U.S.") and Europe.

The Company's ordinary shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, and its American depositary shares ("ADS") are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Liquidity

As at June 30, 2023, the Group had accumulated losses of US$803,057,000 primarily due to its spending in drug research and development activities. The Group regularly monitors current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient cash balances and adequate credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term. As at June 30, 2023, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of US$222,996,000, short-term investments of US$633,172,000 and unutilized bank borrowing facilities of US$65,343,000. Short-term investments comprised of bank deposits maturing over three months.

Based on the Group's operating plan, the existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and unutilized bank borrowing facilities are considered to be sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations and other commitments for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the look-forward period used).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of results for the periods presented, have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any other interim period.

The comparative year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the annual audited consolidated financial statements, but is condensed to the same degree as the interim condensed balance sheet data.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users have read or have access to the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year.

The preparation of interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Amendments that have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company conditionally adopted a share option scheme on June 4, 2005 (as amended on March 21, 2007) and such scheme has a term of 10 years. It expired in 2016 and no further share options can be granted. Another share option scheme was conditionally adopted on April 24, 2015 (as amended on April 27, 2020) (the "Hutchmed Share Option Scheme"). Pursuant to the Hutchmed Share Option Scheme, the Board of Directors of the Company may, at its discretion, offer any employees and directors (including Executive and Non-executive Directors but excluding Independent Non-executive Directors) of the Company, holding companies of the Company and any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, and subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company share options to subscribe for shares of the Company.

As at June 30, 2023, the aggregate number of shares issuable under the Hutchmed Share Option Scheme was 47,044,598 ordinary shares and the aggregate number of shares issuable under the prior share option scheme which expired in 2016 was 211,320 ordinary shares. The Company will issue new shares to satisfy share option exercises. Additionally, the number of shares authorized but unissued was 633,838,550 ordinary shares.

Share options granted are generally subject to a four-year vesting schedule, depending on the nature and the purpose of the grant. Share options subject to the four-year vesting schedule, in general, vest 25% upon the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date as defined in the grant letter, and 25% every subsequent year. However, certain share option grants may have a different vesting schedule as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. No outstanding share options will be exercisable or subject to vesting after the expiry of a maximum of eight to ten years from the date of grant.

A summary of the Company's share option activity and related information is as follows:

	Number of share options		Weighted average exercise price in US$ per share		Weighted average remaining contractual life (years)		Aggregate intrinsic value (in US$'000)
Outstanding at January 1, 2022	37,190,590		4.88		7.04		82,377

Vested and exercisable at December 31, 2022	21,113,285		4.57		4.80		6,288
Vested and exercisable at June 30, 2023	21,976,870		4.58		4.97		591

Note: Includes 861,220 share options (represented by 172,244 ADS) granted to an executive director in May 2022 where the number of share options exercisable is subject to a performance target based on a market condition covering the 3-year period from 2022 to 2024 which has been reflected in estimating the grant date fair value. The grant date fair value of such awards is US$0.24 per share using the Polynomial model. Vesting of such award will occur in March 2025 if the performance target based on a market condition is met.

In estimating the fair value of share options granted, the following assumptions were used in the Polynomial model for awards granted in the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2023		Year Ended December 31, 2022
Weighted average grant date fair value of share options (in US$ per share)	1.14		0.85
Significant inputs into the valuation model (weighted average):
Exercise price (in US$ per share)	2.50		2.26
Share price at effective date of grant (in US$ per share)	2.50		2.22
Expected volatility (note (a))	53.3%		46.7%
Risk-free interest rate (note (b))	3.69%		2.98%
Contractual life of share options (in years)	10		10
Expected dividend yield (note (c))	0%		0%

Notes:

(a)   The Company calculated its expected volatility with reference to the historical volatility prior to the issuances of share options.

(b)   The risk-free interest rates reference the U.S. Treasury yield curves because the Company's ADS are currently listed on the NASDAQ and denominated in US$.

(c)   The Company has not declared or paid any dividends and does not currently expect to do so prior to the exercise of the granted share options, and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Polynomial model.

The Company will issue new shares to satisfy share option exercises. The following table summarizes the Company's share option exercises:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
	(in US$'000)
Cash received from share option exercises	1,058		34
Total intrinsic value of share option exercises	1,898		57

The Group recognizes compensation expense on a graded vesting approach over the requisite service period. The following table presents share-based compensation expense included in the Group's condensed consolidated statements of operations:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
	(in US$'000)
Research and development expenses	1,664		2,795
Selling and administrative expenses	1,522		871
Cost of revenues	53		75
	3,239		3,741

As at June 30 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost was US$8,107,000, and will be recognized on a graded vesting approach over the weighted average remaining service period of 2.50 years.

(ii)  LTIP

The Company grants awards under the LTIP to participating directors and employees, giving them a conditional right to receive ordinary shares of the Company or the equivalent ADS (collectively the "Awarded Shares") to be purchased by the Trustee up to a cash amount. Vesting will depend upon continued employment of the award holder with the Group and will otherwise be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. Additionally, some awards are subject to change based on annual performance targets prior to their determination date.

LTIP awards prior to the determination date

Performance targets vary by award, and may include targets for shareholder returns, financings, revenues, net income/(loss) after taxes and the achievement of clinical and regulatory, business development and manufacturing milestones. As the extent of achievement of the performance targets is uncertain prior to the determination date, a probability based on management's assessment on the achievement of the performance target has been assigned to calculate the amount to be recognized as an expense over the requisite period with a corresponding entry to liability.

LTIP awards after the determination date

Upon the determination date, the Company will pay a determined monetary amount, up to the maximum cash amount based on the actual achievement of the performance target specified in the award, to the Trustee to purchase the Awarded Shares. Any cumulative compensation expense previously recognized as a liability will be transferred to additional paid-in capital. Based on the actual achievement of performance target, the amount previously recorded in the liability will be adjusted through share-based compensation expense.

Granted awards in 2022 and 2023 under the LTIP are as follows:

Grant date		Maximum cash amount (in US$ millions)		Covered financial years		Performance target determination date
May 23, 2022		60.4		2022		note (a)
September 13, 2022		3.8		2022		note (a)
September 13, 2022		1.7		note (b)		note (b)
June 5, 2023		54.9		2023		note (a)

Notes: 

(a)  The annual performance target determination date is the date of the announcement of the Group's annual results for the covered financial year and vesting occurs two business days after the announcement of the Group's annual results for the financial year falling two years after the covered financial year to which the LTIP award relates.

(b)  This award does not stipulate performance targets and is subject to a vesting schedule of 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant.

The Trustee has been set up solely for the purpose of purchasing and holding the Awarded Shares during the vesting period on behalf of the Company using funds provided by the Company. On the determination date, if any, the Company will determine the cash amount, based on the actual achievement of each annual performance target, for the Trustee to purchase the Awarded Shares. The Awarded Shares will then be held by the Trustee until they are vested.

The Trustee's assets include treasury shares and funds for additional treasury shares, trustee fees and expenses. The number of treasury shares (in ordinary share equivalent) held by the Trustee were as follows:

	Number of treasury shares		Cost (in US$'000)
As at January 1, 2022	8,139,175		40,014
Purchased	14,028,465		48,084
Vested	(2,566,265)		(12,034)
As at December 31, 2022	19,601,375		76,064
Purchased	2,725,515		9,071
Vested	(4,480,895)		(17,267)
As at June 30, 2023	17,845,995		67,868

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, US$5,041,000 and US$8,397,000 of the LTIP awards were forfeited respectively based on the determined or estimated monetary amount as at the forfeiture date.

The following table presents the share-based compensation expenses recognized under the LTIP awards:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
	(in US$'000)
Research and development expenses	5,700		7,196
Selling and administrative expenses	4,614		4,228
Cost of revenues	237		213
	10,551		11,637
Recorded with a corresponding credit to:
Liability	1,303		3,297
Additional paid-in capital	9,248		8,340
	10,551		11,637

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, US$4,563,000 and US$15,351,000 were reclassified from liability to additional paid-in capital respectively upon LTIP awards reaching the determination date. As at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, US$441,000 and US$3,701,000 were recorded as liabilities respectively for LTIP awards prior to the determination date.

As at June 30, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost was approximately US$38,153,000, which considers expected performance targets and the amounts expected to vest, and will be recognized over the requisite periods.

License and collaboration agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical

On January 23, 2023, the Group and Takeda Pharmaceuticals International AG entered into an exclusive out-licensing agreement (the "Takeda Agreement") to further the global development, commercialization and manufacturing of Fruquintinib in territories outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau (the "Territory"). Under the terms of the Takeda Agreement, the Group is entitled to receive a series of payments up to US$1.13 billion, including upfront, regulatory, development and commercial sales milestone payments, plus royalties on net sales in the Territory. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Group has received $400 million upfront payment.

The Takeda Agreement has the following material performance obligations: (1) the licenses for the development and commercialization of Fruquintinib in the Territory and the manufacture of Fruquintinib for use in the Territory, (2) services for research and development of ongoing clinical trials, regulatory submissions and manufacturing technology transfer and (3) manufacturing supply.

The transaction price for these performance obligations includes the upfront payment, service cost reimbursements, milestone payments and sales-based royalties. Milestone payments were not included in the transaction price until it becomes probable that a significant reversal of revenue would not occur, which is generally when the criteria to receive the milestone are achieved. Manufacturing sales are variable consideration and were not included in the transaction price at inception as regulatory approval had not been achieved.

The allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation was based on the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation determined at the inception of the contract. Based on this estimation, proportionate amounts of transaction price to be allocated to the licenses, and other performance obligations were 62% and 38% respectively.

Control of the licenses to Fruquintinib was transferred at the inception date of the agreement and consequently, amounts allocated to this performance obligation were recognized at inception. Conversely, services are performed over the term of the Takeda Agreement and amounts allocated are recognized over time using a percentage-of-completion method and manufacturing supply is recognized at a point in time when the control of the goods is transferred. Royalties are recognized as future sales occur as they meet the requirements for the sales-usage based royalty exception.

Revenue recognized under the Takeda Agreement is as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
	(in US$'000)
Licensing-from upfront payment	250,070
Services-collaboration research and development-from deferred upfront payment	8,615

20. Litigation

From time to time, the Group may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. The Group believes that there are currently no claims or actions pending against the Group, the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Group's view of these matters may change in the future. When an unfavorable outcome occurs, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Group's financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods in which the unfavorable outcome occurs, and potentially in future periods.

On May 17, 2019, Luye Pharma Hong Kong Ltd. ("Luye") issued a notice to the Group purporting to terminate a distribution agreement that granted the Group exclusive commercial rights to Seroquel in the PRC for failure to meet a pre-specified target. The Group disagrees with this assertion and believes that Luye have no basis for termination. As a result, the Group commenced legal proceedings in 2019 in order to seek damages. On October 21, 2021 (and a decision on costs and interest in December 2021), the Group was awarded an amount of RMB253.2 million (equivalent to US$35.4 million) with interest of 5.5% per annum from the date of the award until payment and recovery of costs of approximately US$2.2 million (collectively the "Award"). On June 27, 2022, Luye provided the Group a bank guarantee of up to RMB286.0 million to cover the Award amounts, pending the outcome of an application by Luye to the High Court of Hong Kong to set aside the Award. On July 26, 2022, Luye's application to set aside the Award was dismissed by the High Court with costs awarded in favor of the Group. On October 7, 2022, Luye filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court of Appeal regarding the dismissal and the notice was accepted on November 8, 2022. On June 6, 2023, a Court of Appeal hearing was held and a judgement is expected but yet to be received. The legal proceedings are ongoing and as no Award amounts have been received as at the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, no Award amounts have been recognized and no adjustment has been made to Seroquel-related balances as at June 30, 2023. Such Seroquel-related balances include accounts receivable, long-term prepayment, accounts payable and other payables of US$1.1 million, US$0.3 million, US$0.9 million and US$1.1 million respectively.

21. Subsequent Events

The Group evaluated subsequent events through July 31, 2023, which is the date when the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

Notes:

(a)  Lease amortization

Under U.S. GAAP, for operating leases, the amortization of right-of-use assets and the interest expense element of lease liabilities are recorded together as lease expenses, which results in a straight-line recognition effect in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Under IFRS, all leases are accounted for like finance leases where right-of-use assets are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis while lease liabilities are measured under the effective interest method, which results in higher expenses at the beginning of the lease term and lower expenses near the end of the lease term.

(b)  Issuance costs

Under U.S. GAAP and IFRS, there are differences in the criteria for capitalization of issuance costs incurred in the offering of equity securities.

(c)  Capitalization of development and commercial rights

Under U.S. GAAP, the acquired development and commercial rights do not meet the capitalization criteria as further development is needed as of the acquisition date and there is no alternative future use. Such rights are considered as in-process research and development and were expensed to research and development expense.

Under IFRS, the acquired development and commercial rights were capitalized to intangible assets. The recognition criterion is always assumed to be met as the price already reflects the probability that future economic benefits will flow to the Group.

(d)  LTIP classification

Under U.S. GAAP, LTIP awards with performance conditions are classified as liability-settled awards prior to the determination date as they settle in a variable number of shares based on a determinable monetary amount, which is determined upon the actual achievement of performance targets. After the determination date, the LTIP awards are reclassified as equity-settled awards.

Under IFRS, LTIP awards are classified as equity-settled awards, both prior to and after the determination date, as they are ultimately settled in ordinary shares or the equivalent ADS of the Company instead of cash.
