2022 FULL YEAR RESULTS & BUSINESS UPDATES
"I am proud of the progress that we at HUTCHMED have made during 2022," said Mr Simon To, Chairman of HUTCHMED. "This work is already bearing fruit, as indicated not only by the increase in revenues, but also the positive clinical and regulatory progress we have made with fruquintinib – culminating in the successful, post-period licensing agreement with Takeda, marking a significant delivery against the Company’s strategy. This out-licensing ensures we remain true to the overall goal of our business of safeguarding access to our innovative medicines to patients globally. Further, our partnerships provide significant financial momentum while we focus on revenue growth from increased product sales in China."

"This strategy of revenue growth and strategic partnerships places us well on the path to a sustainable business. It is this path which will allow us to continue our expansion, as demonstrated by HUTCHMED’s continued delivery in China where our oncology commercial team has reached about 900 people to support greater access to our medicines; our ongoing development of savolitinib, which became our third product on the NRDL; and the continued ability of our business to develop medicines towards global markets. It is through this ability that we expect to see multiple New Drug Applications being made not only in China but with key regulators around the world as we look to extend our ability to bring potentially life changing medicines to patients around the world."

"2022 has been a key turning point for HUTCHMED, but I believe it will enable us to truly reach our goal of becoming a global biopharmaceutical company."

Dr Weiguo Su, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of HUTCHMED, said, "2022 was a pivotal year for HUTCHMED. Challenged by difficult market conditions, the team worked incredibly hard to position HUTCHMED for success today as well as for a promising future. In November, we announced a new strategy that focuses on accelerating our path to a sustainable and profitable business, which involves a reprioritization of pipeline assets and a partnership approach for bringing our innovative medicines more efficiently to patients outside of China. We believe that this new strategy has unlocked greater value in the Company and we are already seeing a positive impact from this approach."

"In early 2023 we announced a significant licensing deal with Takeda for the global development, commercialization and manufacturing of fruquintinib, outside of China. We are pleased to have attracted such a strong partner and to place fruquintinib in the hands of a company with the scale, expertise, resources and commitment to maximize its success globally, as we believe we are already doing in China. The expected proceeds from the deal notably extends our cash runway, and the additional bandwidth allows us to continue to pursue value-driving opportunities from our internal pipeline while supporting our commercial growth in China. The Takeda deal perfectly exemplifies our global partnership approach and showcases our commitment to fulfilling our promises, swiftly and effectively."

"This approach goes hand in hand with the strategic prioritization of our pipeline. This includes focusing our development efforts on late-stage assets through clinical development and towards patients. Ultimately, this is how we will accelerate our path to a sustainable business over the long term. As part of our pipeline prioritization, we have reduced some funding to select international clinical programs and we look to further develop of some of these programs through partnerships. Specifically, these changes affect amdizalisib, HMPL-306 and HMPL-760 international clinical programs. We will continue the surufatinib clinical program in Japan where a bridging study is fully recruited. Going forward, HUTCHMED still intends to continue to run early phase development programs for select drug candidates in the U.S., EU and Japan including sovleplenib where we believe our compounds are differentiated from a global perspective. This does not impact our commitment to patients, which, if anything, has intensified as we sharpen our focus on a smaller set of programs that we believe have the most immediate patient impact.

I am proud of what the team has achieved this year amidst very difficult times for the sector, and feel very positive about our outlook."

Earlier stage investigational drug candidates

In addition to the six drug candidates being developed in over 15 registration studies above, HUTCHMED is developing six further oncology candidates in early stage clinical trials. These are HMPL-306, a highly selective oral inhibitor of IDH1/2[41] designed to address resistance to currently marketed IDH inhibitors; HMPL-760, a highly selective, third-generation oral inhibitor of BTK[42] with improved potency versus first generation BTK inhibitors against both wild type & C481S mutant enzymes; HMPL-453, a highly selective oral inhibitor of FGFR 1/2/3; HMPL-295, a highly selective oral inhibitor of ERK[43] in the MAPK pathway [44] with the potential to address intrinsic or acquired resistance from upstream mechanisms such as RAS-RAF-MEK; HMPL-653, an oral, highly selective, and potent CSF-1R inhibitor designed to target CSF-1R driven tumors as a monotherapy or in combinations; and HMPL-A83, a differentiated, red blood cell sparing CD47 monoclonal antibody.

Subject to data and consultation with the CDE[45], several of these earlier stage drug candidates have potential to move into registration trials in 2023 and early 2024. We have recently agreed a registration enabling trial design for HMPL-453 for the treatment of IHCC[46] with the CDE and preparations are underway to start the study. Results supporting this decision will be submitted for scientific presentation in 2023.

IV. COLLABORATION UPDATES

V. OTHER VENTURES
Other Ventures include our profitable prescription drug marketing and distribution platforms

Other Ventures consolidated revenues increased by 11% (15% at CER) to $262.6 million (2021: $236.5m);
SHPL[47] non-consolidated joint venture revenues increased by 11% (14% at CER) to $370.6 million (2021: $332.6m);
Consolidated net income attributable to HUTCHMED from our Other Ventures increased by 16% (17% at CER) to $54.6 million (2021: $47.3m which excluded $95.6m related to HBYS[48]), which was primarily due to the net income contributed from SHPL of $49.9 million (2021: $44.7m); and
We continue to review divestment and equity capital market options and we have started the process for a share reform of the SHPL joint venture.

VI. IMPACT OF COVID-19
COVID-19 had some impact on our research, clinical studies and our commercial activities in 2022, particularly with respect to hospital lockdowns, travel restrictions, and shipping difficulties. Clinical sites in Shanghai were particularly impacted during April and May 2022. Measures were put in place to reduce the impact of such restrictions to the extent possible, including online patient follow-up and the retention of core research teams on-site to maintain critical activities, with business returning to normal in June. Restrictive measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic have gradually been lifted in China starting from December 2022, and we expect the travel, social and economic activities to normalize.

VII. SUSTAINABILITY
HUTCHMED has made continued progress in its commitment to the long-term sustainability of its businesses and communities in which it conducts business, including:

Enhanced disclosures, including publishing our second Sustainability Report, and publishing eight new governance and sustainability-related policies and statements;
Strengthened governance, including establishing a four-tier governance framework to facilitate oversight and implementation of sustainability issues;
Committed to 11 short- to long-term sustainability goals and targets, incorporated sustainability KPIs on goals and targets into management’s performance-based remuneration;
Comprehensive stakeholder engagement conducted with over 2,400 key internal and external stakeholders involving quantitative and qualitative assessments, and a materiality analysis to help identify the most material sustainability issues to the Company;
Enhanced sustainability awareness building in over 20 meetings/sessions during the year amongst the general staff, the Sustainability Working Group, senior management, the Sustainability Committee and the Board; and
Climate risks action, including an assessment to identify climate-related risks and opportunities for the Company, and following the recommended disclosure framework of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
We believe all these efforts will guide us towards a more sustainable future. The 2022 Sustainability Report will be published alongside our 2022 Annual Report in due course and will include further information on HUTCHMED sustainability initiatives and their performance.

VIII. U.S. ACCOUNTING OVERSIGHT
As had been expected, in 2022 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) named over 170 China-based companies, including HUTCHMED, to its conclusive list of public companies identified as having retained a registered public accounting firm that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") is unable to inspect to investigate completely. However, on December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to inspect and investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and vacated its prior determination that it was unable to inspect or investigate them completely. As a result, we do not expect to be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 after we file our annual report on Form 20-F for such fiscal year.

This has had no impact on the business operations of the Company.

FULL YEAR 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments were $631.0 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to $1,011.7 million as of December 31, 2021.

Adjusted Group (non-GAAP[49]) net cash flows excluding financing activities in 2022 were -$297.9 million (2021: -$73.5m) mainly due to increased spending on Oncology/Immunology R&D; and
Net cash used in financing activities in 2022 totaled $82.8 million (2021: net cash generated from financing activities of $650.0m primarily from the offering of shares on HKEX[50]) mainly due to the repayments of bank borrowings, dividends paid to non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries and purchases of ADSs[51] by a trustee for the settlement of equity awards.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $426.4 million compared to $356.1 million in 2021.

Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenues increased 37% (41% at CER) to $163.8 million (2021: $119.6m) resulting from:
ELUNATE revenues increased 31% to $69.9 million (2021: $53.5m) in manufacturing revenues, promotion and marketing service revenues and royalties, as our in-house sales team increased in-market sales 32% to $93.5 million (2021: $71.0m), as provided by Lilly;

SULANDA revenues increased 178% to $32.3 million (2021: $11.6m), after inclusion on the NRDL starting in January 2022;

ORPATHYS revenues increased 97% to $22.3 million (2021: $11.3m), in manufacturing revenues and royalties following its launch in the second half of 2021. AstraZeneca reported $41.2 million in-market sales (2021: $15.9m) of ORPATHYS in 2022;

TAZVERIK revenues of $0.1 million following its successful launch in Hainan province in June 2022;

Milestone payment of $15.0 million (2021: $25.0m milestone payment upon first sale of ORPATHYS in China), to us by AstraZeneca, related to the initiation of SAFFRON; and

Other R&D services income of $24.2 million (2021: $18.2m), which were primarily fees from AstraZeneca and Lilly for the management of development activities in China.

Other Ventures consolidated revenues increased 11% (15% at CER) to $262.6 million (2021: $236.5m), mainly due to higher sales of prescription drugs. This excludes the strong 11% (14% at CER) growth in non-consolidated revenues at SHPL of $370.6 million (2021: $332.6m).

Net Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $787.2 million compared to $550.7 million in 2021.

Costs of Revenues were $311.1 million (2021: $258.2m), the majority of which were the cost of third-party prescription drug products marketed through our profitable Other Ventures, as well as costs associated with ELUNATE, including the provision of promotion and marketing services to Lilly, and the costs for SULANDA and ORPATHYS which commenced commercial sales in July 2021;
R&D Expenses were $386.9 million (2021: $299.1m), which increased mainly as a result of an expansion in the active development of our novel oncology drug candidates. Our international clinical and regulatory operations in the U.S. and Europe incurred expenses of $170.9 million (2021: $140.1m), while R&D expenses in China were $216.0 million (2021: $159.0m);
SG&A Expenses[52] were $136.1 million (2021: $127.1m), which increased primarily due to higher staff costs and selling expenses to support the expansion of our Oncology/Immunology commercial operations; and
Other Items generated net income of $46.9 million (2021: $133.7m), which decreased primarily due to a one-off gain of $82.9 million in 2021 related to the divestment of HBYS.

Net Loss attributable to HUTCHMED for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $360.8 million compared to $194.6 million in 2021.

The net loss attributable to HUTCHMED in 2022 was $0.43 per ordinary share / $2.13 per ADS, compared to net loss attributable to HUTCHMED of $0.25 per ordinary share / $1.23 per ADS in 2021.
