SHANGHAI, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Henlius (2696.HK) today announced its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the reporting period, the Company recorded revenue of RMB 6.6666 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.5%, and net profit of RMB 0.8270 billion. Total R&D investment reached RMB 2.4919 billion, an increase of 35.4%. Amid continued investment in innovation, pre-R&D profit grew to RMB 2.3425 billion, up 26.2% year-on-year. This marks the third consecutive year of profitability and sustained growth of revenue since the Company first achieved full-year profitability in 2023, demonstrating resilient and sustainable profitability, alongside high-quality growth. In 2025, Henlius continued to strengthen its global growth momentum, with global product revenue reaching RMB 5.7746 billion, up 17.0% year-on-year. Driven by sustained ex-China revenue growth from its core products—serplulimab (trade name: Hetronifly® in Europe) and HANQUYOU (trastuzumab, trade name: HERCESSI™ in the U.S., Zercepac® in Europe)—as well as the accelerating realisation of licensing payments from strategic partnerships, the Company's ex-China business expanded significantly. Ex-China product revenue exceeded RMB 200 million in 2025, doubling year-on-year, while ex-China product profit increased to RMB 93.9 million. To date, Henlius has achieved approval for 10 products across 60 countries and regions worldwide, including 7 products approved in China, 4 products approved by the U.S. FDA, and 4 products authorized by the European Commission (EC), benefiting more than one million patients globally. Dr. Jason Zhu, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Henlius, commented: "2025 marked not only a pivotal year for Henlius as we advanced into the era of Globalisation 2.0, but also a year in which our innovation pipeline began to deliver meaningful progress.

At the same time, clinical studies are being actively advanced in nearly 30 countries and regions, further accelerating the global development of its pipeline. Meanwhile, Henlius continued to expand its global partnership network. During the reporting period, the Company entered into collaborations with leading international partners including Abbott, Eisai and Lotus regarding rights to serplulimab. In addition, Henlius established licensing partnerships with Dr. Reddy's and Sandoz for HLX15 (daratumumab) and HLX13 (ipilimumab), respectively. As a key innovative asset of the Company, dulpatatug (HLX22)2, a novel epitope anti-HER2 mAb, continues to make steady progress in its international multi-centre phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of HER2-positive gastric cancer in a head-to-head comparison with standard first-line therapy. The study has initiated first patient dosing across multiple countries and regions, including China, the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and Latin America. Two years of follow-up results from its phase 2 study in gastric cancer were presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, demonstrating durable efficacy and favourable outcomes compared to historical benchmarks, with an approximately 80% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death in the overall population. Beyond gastric cancer, dulpatatug is being further developed across additional indications, including breast cancer. Its phase 2 study in HER2-low breast cancer has completed patient enrolment, while a phase 2/3 study evaluating dulpatatug in combination with the HER2-targeted ADC HLX87 for first-line treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer has completed first patient dosing. HLX43, a PD-L1-targeted ADC with potential best-in-class (BIC) characteristics and broad anti-tumour activity across multiple tumour types, continues to demonstrate its "pipeline-in-a-pill" potential. Early clinical data from its first-in-human study, along with multiple proof-of-concept results across solid tumours, have been presented at several international scientific conferences, showing a favourable efficacy and safety profile. Notably, in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), HLX43 has demonstrated activity without the need for biomarker-based patient selection, suggesting potential applicability across a broad patient population. In addition to NSCLC, encouraging signals have also been observed in gynecological tumours, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and other solid tumours. Beyond monotherapy, the Company is actively exploring combination strategies of HLX43 with anti-EGFR mAb pimurutamab (HLX07) and serplulimab, aiming to further expand its clinical potential. In 2026, Henlius plans to accelerate proof-of-concept studies across a broader range of solid tumours while advancing multiple global pivotal trials efficiently.
