深圳，2025年8月19日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 8月18日，康哲藥業發佈2025年中期業績，公司營收和利潤同比均實現增長，戰略轉型成效初顯。報告期內，公司實現營業收入約40.0億元（人民幣，下同），同比增長10.8%。若全按藥品銷售收入計算則營收約46.7億元，同比增長8.9%。實現淨利潤約9.3億元，同比增長3.1%。具體來看，康哲藥業已走出國採陰霾，業績將回歸持續上升軌道。公司主要非國採獨家/品牌產品及創新產品全按藥品銷售收入合計約29.0億元，同比增長20.6%，占總收入比重升至62.1%。公司獨家/品牌產品、創新產品競爭格局良好、增長可預期性強，目前已成為拉動業績向上的主力軍。根據業績公告，公司自2018年起擘畫「新康哲」轉型藍圖，以「產品創新、商業革新、國際拓展」三大戰略為支柱，構建可持續的第二增長曲線。行至2025年上半年，良好的經營業績及創新成果持續落地，證實戰略升級已逐步兌現為硬核戰果。「新產品」戰略推動創新價值兌現 夯實增長後勁立於公司三大戰略之首的「產品創新」戰略，依託「海外授權+國內合作+自主研發」三維創新機制，持續注入高價值短、中、長期管線，成為驅動增長的重要引擎。目前，創新戰略已進入持續收穫期，新產品正不斷釋放商業與臨床價值。截至目前，公司已有5款創新藥成功於中國實現商業化；2025年內，蘆可替尼乳膏和德昔度司他片兩款創新產品亦有望獲批上市。蘆可替尼乳膏是美國FDA以及歐洲EMA批准的首個、也是唯一一個局部JAK抑制劑非節段型白癜風複色產品，有望成為中國獲批上市的首款白癜風治療藥物，將填補市場空白，為中國白癜風患者帶來新希望。此外，阿爾茨海默病新藥ZUNVEYL的中國上市申請(NDA)亦已於今年7月獲受理；消費醫療產品注射用聚左旋乳酸微球填充劑已獲得上市批准，進一步豐富公司多元化產品矩陣。在研創新管線中，已有多款重磅候選藥物進入中國後期臨床開發階段，預計將在未來1-3年內陸續進入商業化，形成持續放量的新動力。其中，合作產品注射用Y-3已完成中國III期臨床，該產品為原創單分子1類新藥，亦為全球唯一進入臨床研究的非肽類PSD95/nNOS解偶聯劑，並有望成為首個治療缺血性卒中並預防卒中後抑鬱焦慮的雙功能腦細胞保護藥物。另一個口服小分子1類新藥ABP-671（URAT1抑制劑）用於治療痛風及高尿酸血症，目前其中國IIb/III期臨床正有序推進中。相較現有主流藥物，該產品有潛力以更低劑量將尿酸降低至更低水平，並具有溶解痛風石的能力，有望為患者提供療效更優、安全性更高的治療選擇。康哲藥業亦持續增厚創新儲備，不斷夯實全鏈條創新實力，以實現創新產品分階段、源源不斷獲批上市。2025上半年，公司新增ZUNVEYL、MG-K10（長效抗IL-4Rα人源化單抗注射液）兩款合作開發創新產品。截至目前，公司累計佈局約40款差異化創新管線，其中約20項為自主研發項目。同步推進「新模式」、「新地域」戰略 拓展多維增量空間根據業績公告，康哲藥業持續推進「新模式-商業革新」戰略，以多元生態鍛造抗週期韌性；並堅定執行「新地域-國際拓展」戰略，以產業國際化出海模式構建多維增長格局。在商業革新戰略下，公司持續聚焦專科領域，同時拓展新零售、新媒體渠道，構建「院內+院外」、「線上+線下」全覆蓋的營銷推廣體系，並持續強化消費醫療產品佈局。公司皮膚健康業務「德鎂醫藥」已在這一具消費屬性的賽道嶄露頭角，自2021年獨立運營以來，已實現皮膚疾病領域適應症覆蓋廣度、皮膚處方藥收入規模的雙重領先，將通過介紹上市、實物分派方式，擬分拆於香港聯交所主板獨立上市，進一步釋放其獨立價值與高成長潛力。國際化方面，2025年7月15日，公司以介紹方式成功於新加坡交易所完成第二上市，「產業國際化」戰略邁入新里程。以新加坡為樞紐，公司構建起覆蓋「研-產-銷」的新興市場全鏈條業務體系。截至目前，商業化平台公司Rxilient已在東南亞、中東、港澳台等地區累計提交近20款藥品和器械註冊申請，涵蓋皮膚科、眼科、腫瘤、自免、中樞神經等領域。蘆可替尼乳膏（白癜風適應症）已在澳門、香港獲批，並已遞交新加坡、台灣註冊申請；靜脈注射用特瑞普利單抗（首個被中國NMPA及美國FDA批准上市的國產抗PD-1單抗藥物）已提交馬來西亞等五國註冊申請；替瑞奇珠單抗注射液、蔗糖羥基氧化鐵咀嚼片亦在香港獲批。同時，公司持股45.0%的聯營CDMO生產工廠PharmaGend，目前已具備片劑、膠囊等口服固體製劑年產10億片的能力，並獲得新加坡HSA頒發的生產許可證、美國FDA cGMP認證及瑞士QP審計通過。PharmaGend鼻噴劑、乳膏、注射劑等新產線的建設正穩步推進中，為國際市場提供高標準生產交付能力。展望未來，「新康哲」增長邏輯有望加速兌現，盈利能力與業績韌性將同步提升。公司正構建以差異化創新為核心、多元生態協同驅動、國際化佈局支撐的增長體系，為高質量發展打開長期空間，為全球患者提供高品質醫藥產品和服務，為股東帶來可持續回報。關於康哲藥業康哲藥業是一家鏈接醫藥創新與商業化，把控產品全生命週期管理的開放式平台型企業，致力於提供有競爭力的產品和服務，滿足尚未滿足的醫療需求。康哲藥業專注於全球首創（FIC）及同類最優（BIC）的創新產品，並高效推進創新產品臨床研究開發和商業化進程，賦能科研成果向診療實踐的持續轉化，造福患者。康哲藥業聚焦專科領域，擁有被驗證的商業化能力，廣泛的渠道覆蓋和多疾病領域專家資源，核心在售產品已獲領先的學術與市場地位。康哲藥業圍繞優勢專科領域不斷縱深發展，以鞏固心腦血管/消化/眼科/皮膚健康業務競爭力，其中皮膚健康業務已成爲該細分領域的龍頭企業，帶來專科規模效率。同時，康哲藥業持續深化東南亞及中東區域業務發展，助力高質量持續健康發展。康哲藥業免責與前瞻性聲明本新聞無意向您做任何產品的推廣，非廣告用途。本新聞不對任何藥品和醫療器械和/或適應症作推薦。若您想瞭解具體疾病診療資訊，請遵從醫生或其他醫療衛生專業人士的意見或指導。醫療衛生專業人士作出的任何與治療有關的決定應根據患者的具體情況並遵照藥品說明書。由康哲藥業編制的此新聞不構成購買或認購任何證券的任何要約或邀請，不形成任何合約或任何其他約束性承諾的依據或加以依賴。本新聞由康哲藥業根據其認為可靠之資料及數據編制，但康哲藥業並無進行任何說明或保證、明述或暗示，或其他表述，對本新聞內容的真實性、準確性、完整性、公平性及合理性不應加以依賴。本新聞中討論的若干事宜可能包含涉及康哲藥業的市場機會及業務前景的陳述，該等陳述分別或統稱為前瞻性聲明。該等前瞻性聲明並非對未來表現的保證，存在已知及未知的風險、不明朗性及難以預知的假設。康哲藥業並不採納本新聞包含的第三方所做的任何前瞻性聲明及預測，康哲藥業對該等第三方聲明及預測不承擔責任。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Aug 19, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On 18 August, China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Company”) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the “Reporting Period”), with both revenue and profit recording year-on-year growth, demonstrating the initial results of its strategic transformation. During the Reporting Period, the Company recorded revenue of approximately RMB4.00 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 10.8%. In the case that all medicines were directly sold by the Company, revenue would be approximately RMB4.67 billion, up 8.9% year-on-year. Net profit was approximately RMB0.93 billion, representing an increase of 3.1% year-on-year.The results reflect that CMS has emerged from the shadow of National Volume-based Procurement (“National VBP”), and its performance is expected to return to a sustainable growth trajectory. Revenue from the Company’s key non-National VBP exclusive/branded products and innovative products (in the case that all medicines were directly sold by the Company) reached approximately RMB2.90 billion, up 20.6% year-on-year, accounting for 62.1% of total revenue. The company's exclusive/branded products and innovative products have a favorable competitive landscape and high visibility of future growth, and have now become the main drivers of performance growth.According to the interim results announcement, the company has been planning its “New CMS” blueprint since 2018, anchored on the three strategic pillars of “product innovation, commercial model reform, and international expansion” to build a sustainable second growth curve. By the first half of 2025, solid operating results and the steady delivery of innovation outcomes have confirmed that the Company’s strategic upgrade has been gradually translated into tangible achievements.“New Products” Strategy Drives Innovation Value Realization and Solidifies Growth MomentumAt the forefront of the Company’s three strategic pillars, the “product innovation” strategy leverages a three-dimensional innovation mechanism of “overseas licensing, domestic collaboration, and in-house R&D” to continuously inject high-value short-, medium- and long-term pipelines, serving as a key growth engine. Currently, the innovation strategy has entered a period of continuous harvest, with new products continuously releasing commercial and clinical value.To date, the Company has successfully commercialized five innovative drugs in China; By 2025, two innovative products — ruxolitinib cream and Desidustat Tablets—are also expected to receive marketing approvals. Ruxolitinib cream is the first and only topical JAK inhibitor approved by the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency for repigmentation in non-segmental vitiligo, and is expected to become the first approved treatment for vitiligo in China, filling a market gap and bringing new hope to Chinese vitiligo patients. Additionally, the New Drug Application (NDA) for the Alzheimer’s disease drug ZUNVEYL in China was accepted in July this year; the consumer healthcare product Poly-L-lactic Acid Microparticle Filler Injection has been approved for marketing, further enriching the Company’s diversified product portfolio.Among the innovative pipeline under R&D, several blockbuster candidates have entered the late-stage clinical development in China and are expected to be commercialized within the next one to three years, forming a new driving force for sustained growth.Among these, the collaborative product Y-3 for Injection has completed Phase III clinical trials in China. This product is an original unimolecular Class 1 innovative drug and the only non-peptide PSD95/nNOS uncoupler that has entered clinical development, with potential to become the first dual-function brain cytoprotectant for treating ischemic stroke while preventing post-stroke depression and anxiety. Another oral small molecule Class 1 innovative drug, ABP-671 (a URAT1 inhibitor) for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia, is progressing through Phase IIb/III clinical trials in China. Compared with existing mainstream drugs, ABP-671 has the potential to reduce uric acid to lower levels at lower doses and possesses gout-tophus dissolution capability, thereby offering patients a more effective and safer treatment option.CMS continues to expand its innovative pipeline and enhance its end-to-end innovation capabilities to ensure the steady, phased marketing approval of innovative products. In H1 2025, two new collaborative R&D innovative products — ZUNVEYL and MG-K10 (a long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection) — were added to the portfolio. To date, the Company has deployed about 40 differentiated innovative pipeline products, including approximately 20 in-house R&D projects.Advancing “New Models” and “New Markets” Strategies to Unlock Multi-dimensional GrowthAccording to the interim results announcement, CMS continues to advance its “New Models — Commercial Model Reform” strategy, forging anti-cyclical resilience through a diversified ecosystem. It also firmly implements its “New Markets - International Expansion” strategy, building a multi-dimensional growth framework via an industrial internationalization model.Under the commercial model reform strategy, the Company continues to focus on specialty therapeutic fields while expanding into new retail and new media channels, building a comprehensive marketing and promotion system that covers both “in-hospital + out-of-hospital” and “online + offline” channels, and reinforcing its diversified product portfolio with consumer attributes. Its skin health business, Dermavon, has demonstrated strong potential in this particular segment with consumer attributes. Since its independent operation in 2021, Dermavon has achieved dual leadership in both the “coverage of dermatology indications” and the “revenue scale of dermatological prescription drugs”, and is proposed to be spun off and separately listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by way of introduction and distribution in specie, to further unlock its standalone value and high-growth potential.In terms of internationalization, CMS successfully completed its secondary listing on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange by way of introduction on 15 July 2025, marking a new milestone in its “industrial internationalization” strategy. With Singapore as a hub, the Company has established a comprehensive business system covering the entire value chain of “R&D–Manufacturing–Commercialization” for emerging markets. To date, its commercial platform company, Rxilient, has cumulatively submitted nearly 20 registration applications for pharmaceutical products and medical devices across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Region, covering therapeutic fields such as dermatology, ophthalmology, oncology, autoimmune, and central nervous system. Ruxolitinib cream (vitiligo indication) has been approved for marketing in Macau and Hong Kong, and its registration applications have been submitted in Singapore and Taiwan Region. Intravenous Toripalimab (the first China-originated anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody drug that has been approved by the China NMPA and the U.S. FDA) has been submitted for registration in five countries, including Malaysia. Tildrakizumab Injection and Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablets have also been approved for marketing in Hong Kong.

BRISBANE, AUS, Aug 19, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Cholrem Pty Ltd, an Australian pharmaceutical research company, has published a landmark study in Cardiology Research and Cardiovascular Medicine, revealing that its proprietary cyclodextrin-based therapy Cavadex reverses atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the world's leading cause of death.Angiogram: Plaque Reduced Within 6 WeeksThe peer-reviewed case series demonstrates rapid symptom relief and significant regression of arterial plaque, marking a potential paradigm shift in heart disease treatment. The study followed 20 high-risk patients with advanced angina, with 18 (90%) reporting substantial symptom improvement (P0.0001) compared to expected outcomes. Objective imaging confirmed unprecedented results, including Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score reductions (e.g., from 591 to 521) and a 70% coronary artery blockage reduced to 27%. Cavadex, formulated with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), stimulates the body's natural vascular repair, offering a faster, more effective approach than existing therapies.The late Professor Laurie G. Howes, a renowned Australian cardiologist and study co-author, called Cavadex "the greatest pharmacological development in cardiology since statins." U.S. cardiologist Dr. James C. Roberts, who has treated hundreds with the therapy, noted, "We're seeing rapid, profound improvements in high-risk patients, with objective plaque regression and an excellent safety profile, leveraging a TGA- and FDA-approved molecule."Cholrem, founded by Kyle Hodgetts - a heart disease patient who pioneered Cavadex after conventional treatments failed - has supplied over 20,000 units globally. Despite HPβCD's non-patentable status limiting industry investment, Cholrem is driving this breakthrough forward. The company urges global medical communities to launch large-scale trials to validate these findings for millions suffering from heart disease.About Cholrem Pty Ltd: Cholrem is dedicated to advancing cyclodextrin-based therapies to combat ASCVD, the world's top killer, with a mission to deliver innovative, life-saving treatments.

A stock market revival, declining Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rates (“Hibor”) in the second quarter, stabilised residential sales and a steady tourism rebound helped counterbalance external pressures. However, persistent outbound travel by residents continued to divert spending elsewhere, weighing on local retail sales. Meanwhile, the office leasing market remained subdued, reflecting an ongoing imbalance between supply and demand. Against this backdrop, distributable income of the Trust decreased by 12.6% to HK$476 million and distribution per unit (“DPU”) declined by 13.3% to HK$0.0701.Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT (Left), Ms. Amy Luk, Investment and Investor Relations Director of Champion REIT (Right)Three Garden RoadAlthough overall office leasing momentum in Central remained suppressed, we received increased leasing inquiries amid rising financial market activities, with demand primarily from finance-related firms. Several new small-sized tenants, including family offices, committed to establishing operations in the property, while an existing banking sector tenant expanded its presence here. Occupancy of Three Garden Road office was 80.7% as at 30 June 2025. Rental income of the property fell 5.4% to HK$540 million (2024: HK$571 million). We advanced lease renewal efforts, successfully concluding all 2025 expirations with a high retention rate, including several anchor tenant renewals. For 2026, over 70% of the expiring leases have already been renewed.Langham Place Office TowerDuring the reporting period, Langham Place Office Tower launched “6D Wellness” YouTube channel to strengthen the property’s positioning as a one-stop wellness and lifestyle hub. As at 30 June 2025, lifestyle (wellness) tenants comprised 68% of the property’s tenant mix. Occupancy of Langham Place Office Tower remained stable at 86.9% as at 30 June 2025. The expanded co-working space introduced a Social Wellness Hall for wellness workshops and events, resonating with the property’s wellness positioning. Market rental continued to face challenges with rental income dropped by 9.1% to HK$151 million (2024: HK$166 million).Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REITLangham Place MallAs Langham Place Mall celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, it continues to embrace its bold “Stay Local, Trend Global” vision. Through immersive experiences and exclusive merchandise, we successfully attracted record crowds and drove sales, establishing new single-day footfall record in August. Recently, fashion brand BENLAI, marking its inaugural Hong Kong flagship presence in the mall, and Umbro’s first in town lifestyle themed pop-up store, have commenced operations. Further elevating the mall’s offerings, Chiikawa Ramen Buta has chosen this location for its premier overseas outlet, shortly becoming a hotspot since opening. Occupancy of Langham Place Mall remained high at 99.2% as at 30 June 2025, reaching full committed occupancy currently. Since changing consumer behaviour has posed challenges for tenants, rental income of the mall declined to HK$338 million (2024: HK$378 million).DistributionDistributable income of the Trust decreased by 12.6% to HK$476 million (2024: HK$544 million) and DPU declined by 13.3% to HK$0.0701 (2024: HK$0.0809). Based on the closing unit price of HK$2.08 recorded as at 30 June 2025, the total DPU represented an annualised distribution yield of 6.7%.Asset ValueThe appraised value of the Trust’s property portfolio was HK$58.1 billion as at 30 June 2025, declining by 3.3% from HK$60.1 billion as at 31 December 2024.SustainabilityWe continue to create shared values across our ecosystem through initiatives that drive climate resilience, build meaningful connections, and support community wellness. During the reporting period, we implemented an AI-powered chiller optimisation system at Three Garden Road, achieving 6.1% annual energy savings. Through our EcoChampion Pledge programme, we bring both office and retail tenants together in the shared commitment to fulfilling measurable environmental goals. Furthermore, Our Champion REIT ESG Gala, themed "Innovation - Inspiration · Integration", brought together over 1,000 tenants and business partners to advance sustainable operations and inclusive practices.OutlookAlthough Hong Kong retail sector has returned to growth and the financial market has rebounded, the overall operating environment of the Trust is expected to remain challenging in the rest of 2025. While lower HKD interest rates should reduce interest expenses, negative rental reversion will likely continue to suppress rental income and reduce distributions compared to last year. We remain committed to maintaining operational agility to navigate this competitive market landscape.About Champion REIT (stock code: 2778)Champion Real Estate Investment Trust is a trust formed to own and invest in income- producing office and retail properties.
