中金公司 ·  Aug 22, 2022 15:26  · Researches

1H22 performance is in line with our expectations

The company announced 1H22 results: revenue was 1.475 billion yuan, an increase of 11% over the same period last year; net profit from home was 532 million yuan, down 15% from the same period last year, mainly due to changes in the fair value of investment and the impairment of intangible assets of related cooperation varieties, resulting in an one-time non-cash adjustment. Excluding core business net profit of 653 million yuan, an increase of about 5% over the same period last year, in line with our expectations.

Trend of development

Stock core product Ridaxian maintained growth. 1H22's revenue increased by 24% month-on-month, and the stock core product, Ridaxian, maintained growth under the background of the national collection, the impact of the epidemic, and the high base in the past two years. 1H22 earned 1.1 billion yuan in revenue, an increase of 7.0% over the same period last year, and continued to provide cash flow for the company. We believe that this growth benefits from the company's clinical research-supported product life cycle management and the further promotion of the GTP model; as of June 2022, the company's GTP platform contributed more than 72% of Ridaxian sales, covering more than 800 DTP pharmacies, and we believe the platform will contribute to the post-market volume of other new varieties of the company. In the stock business, except for its own varieties, 1H22's cooperative promotion income is 172 million yuan, which is basically the same as that of the same period last year.

Continuous R & D transformation, cooperative new drugs try to commercialize. In August 2022, the company introduced advanced antibiotic Vaborem from Menarini. At present, the company's cooperative pipeline contains 9 molecules, of which: 1) Naxituximab has been commercialized on a small scale in Boao and Tianjin, with 1H22 revenue of about 24.2 million yuan. The company expects that the application for listing of this product will be formally approved by the State Drug Administration in 2022. 2) Vibativ submitted its listing application in September 2021, and we expect to be approved by 2H22-2023; 3) other late-stage varieties Vaborem, Omurtamab and RRx-001 are advancing / preparing for critical clinical trials. In addition, the company has introduced experienced Dr. Mao Li and Dr. Zhu Lingyu as Chief Medical Officer and Chief Business Development Officer respectively to better promote the progress of the company's pipeline.

The profitability of core business is basically stable. 1H22's gross profit margin was 77%, down from the same period last year (1.7ppt), mainly because the supply chain was affected by geopolitics and inflation; 1H22 sales expenses of 280 million yuan, sales expense rate of 19.0%, basically the same as the same period last year (18.9%); 1H22 management expenses of 95 million yuan, management expenses rate of 6.5%, basically the same as the same period last year (6.6%); 1H22 R & D expenditure of about 50 million yuan, an increase of 27% over the same period last year. In addition to the core business, due to the recent tightening of financing in the biotechnology industry, a biotech company the company invested in encountered refinancing difficulties, resulting in a fair value loss of about 81 million yuan. In addition, 1H22 lost about 58 million yuan on exchange, which had a negative impact on net profit.

Profit forecast and valuation

Keep profit forecasts for 2022 and 2023 unchanged. The current share price corresponds to a price-to-earnings ratio of 4.5 times 2023 / 4.2 times 2023. We use the SOTP valuation method to maintain the outperform industry rating, but due to the downward valuation center of Hong Kong pharmaceutical small-cap stocks, we cut our target price by 18.5% to HK $11.00 corresponding to 6.7 times 2022 price-to-earnings ratio and 6.3 times 2023 price-to-earnings ratio, which has 48.6% upside from the current share price.

Risk

The deterioration of product pattern; the impact of drug collection; new drug research and development is not as expected.
