Following the closing of the license with Takeda and having received from them the upfront payment of $400 million, the company currently expects to recognize approximately $280 million in 2023. Weiguo Su, CEO and CSO of HUTCHMED, said, “With the sharpening of our goals and priorities, we now have more resources to advance our assets and drive near-term value, and we are pleased to report on the important progress made so far this year. We have over 15 registration/registration-intent studies ongoing with seven drug candidates. Alongside this, our team has presented data at a number of leading medical conferences, including AACR14, ASCO15, ASCO GI16, EHA17 and ICML18, showcasing the productivity of our world class R&D engine. Furthermore, commercial performance has remained strong this year, with robust sales growth of our in-house developed oncology products in China. All three marketed medicines are now included on the NRDL, in line with our commitment to patient access. Moreover, our strategy means we are in a strong financial position as we look to continue developing our clinical programs. We started the second half of 2023 with $856 million in cash resources, including the $400 million received from Takeda. HUTCHMED is now well placed for further successful product launches and life cycle extensions. In particular, we look forward to continuing the positive momentum with fruquintinib regulatory reviews around the world, and readouts from our registration studies for sovleplenib and amdizalisib later this year. As the last six months have shown, HUTCHMED clearly has the right strategy, leadership team, and vision to become a truly global biopharma, and I am confident that HUTCHMED will continue to deliver on this potential.”
