Self-Developed Products - Self-developed product revenue in the first half of 2025 was 500 million yuan, accounting for 10.15% of total revenue, with a gross margin of 78.50%, although this was an 8.06 percentage point decline year-on-year [14]. - The batch issuance volume of self-developed products like ACYW135 and Hib vaccines saw significant declines, with Hib vaccine issuance down 66.46% year-on-year [15][16]. R&D Investment - The company has historically maintained a low R&D expense ratio, below 4%, compared to peers. Although the R&D expense ratio reached 8.5% in the first half of 2025, this was primarily due to a significant drop in revenue [17]. - The projected annual R&D investment for 2025 is approximately 1.27 billion yuan, which is less than the previous year's 1.391 billion yuan [17].
