Financial Highlights
The Group’s revenue increased by 62.2% YoY to RMB 2,700.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) the growth in the number of customers and projects, driven by continued active development of the global ADC and broader bioconjugates market, (ii) the increasing market share through the Group’s established position as a leading ADC CRDMO service provider in that market, and (iii) the steady advancement of the Group’s projects into later stages.
The Group’s gross profit increased by 82.2% YoY to RMB 975.2 million, with a gross profit margin of 36.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and a 4.0 percentage points increase compared to that of the corresponding period in 2024. This improvement is driven by (i) the enhanced overall operation and manufacturing efficiency, (ii) the utilization ratio of its production facilities continued to improve, and (iii) the faster ramp-up of the production line (BCM2 L2).
The Group’s adjusted net profit before interest income and expense increased by 69.6% YoY to RMB 732.6 million. The margin of adjusted net profit before interest income and expense improved to 27.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a 1.2 percentage points increase compared to that of the corresponding period in 2024.

Use of Adjusted Financial Measures (Non-IFRS Measures)
The Group defines “adjusted net profit before interest income and expense attributable to owners of the Company” as net profit attributable to owners of the Company after elimination of share-based compensation expense, interest income (including interest income from bank balances, short-term bank deposits and time deposits) and interest expense from borrowings as a non-operating item.

We believe that the adjusted financial measures used in this presentation are useful for understanding and assessing underlying business performance and operating trends, and we believe that management and investors may benefit from referring to these adjusted financial measures in assessing our financial performance by eliminating the impact of certain unusual and non-recurring items that we do not consider indicative of the performance of our business. However, the presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS.
