Management highlights
Corporate Focus - Twofold:
- Advance clinical pipeline towards product portfolio, with efforts to rapidly advance pre-BLA and late-stage core assets like felzartamab, and develop next-gen immuno-oncology assets (second/third wave innovation).
- Build future to become global biopharma, with progress in Hangzhou manufacturing facility and commercialization capability.
Pipeline Progress - Since start of 2021, 13 pipeline milestones achieved (7 new INDs/trial starts, 4 positive data readouts). Felzartamab on track for Q4 2021 BLA submission. Registrational trial for third-line multiple myeloma met endpoints. TJ101 registrational trial on track. Lemzoparlimab making progress in various trials (non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, AML/MDS, solid tumors). Uliledlimab Phase 1 in U.S. completed, Phase 2 to start. Plonmarlimab interim analysis positive. TJ107 and Enoblituzumab in development.
Future Building - Upgrading global R&D with San Diego facility, Hangzhou manufacturing facility pilot plant mid-2022, commercialization capability built for felzartamab launch in China.
Segment performance
As of June 30, 2021, total cash (including cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments) was RMB 4.8 billion (US$739.2 million). Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were RMB 17.8 million (US$2.8 million), solely from collaboration with AbbVie. R&D expenses for the period were RMB 593 million (US$91.8 million) compared to RMB 442.3 million in 2020, primarily due to increased CRO service fees for advancing the pipeline. Administrative expenses were RMB 451.5 million (US$69.9 million) compared to RMB 171.4 million in 2020, driven by higher share-based compensation and professional services. GAAP net loss was RMB 8 billion (US$166.7 million) vs. RMB 582.9 million in 2020; non-GAAP net loss excluding share-based comp was RMB 729.4 million (US$113 million) vs. RMB 353.1 million in 2020.

- Geopolitical concerns, mitigated by dual listings.
- Dependence on successful clinical trials and partnerships for value creation.
