Core Viewpoint - Beida Pharmaceutical plans to issue H-shares and apply for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to enhance its capital strength and competitiveness, as well as to advance its internationalization process [1][10]. Company Overview - Beida Pharmaceutical, established in 2003 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2016, is recognized as China's "first innovative drug stock" [3]. - The company's flagship product, Alectinib (brand name: Kaimena), is China's first independently developed small molecule targeted anti-cancer drug [3]. Financial Performance - From 2019 to 2024, Beida's revenue is projected to grow from 1.5 billion to 2.8 billion yuan, with the best net profit at 400 million yuan and the worst at 30 million yuan [7]. - In the first half of this year, Beida achieved revenue of 1.731 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.37%, but its net profit decreased by 11.91% to 191 million yuan [7][8]. Market Position and Competition - Beida's Alectinib is a first-generation EGFR-TKI product, facing increasing competition from six approved third-generation EGFR-TKIs in China, five of which are domestically developed [5][9]. - The company has lost its leading position in the EGFR-TKI market, with its third-generation EGFR-TKI, Beifu, lacking a first-mover advantage as it was approved later than competitors [9]. Product Portfolio - Besides EGFR-TKIs, Beida also has ALK-TKIs and CDK4/6 inhibitors, but the market for ALK-TKIs is limited, and CDK4/6 inhibitors are in a highly competitive field [9]. - Beida's only commercially mature products are biosimilars, which face challenges in a price-sensitive environment [9]. Funding and Financial Structure - As of mid-2023, Beida's current assets were 1.359 billion yuan, while current liabilities were 1.757 billion yuan, indicating potential liquidity issues [10]. - The company aims to use funds from the H-share issuance for new drug research, clinical trials, debt repayment, and to improve its financial structure [10].
