Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the challenges faced by Changchun High-tech, a major player in the growth hormone market, due to declining performance and increased competition, particularly from national procurement policies that have significantly reduced profit margins [5][10][12]. Financial Performance - In Q1 2025, Changchun High-tech reported revenue of 2.997 billion yuan, a year-on-year decline of 5.66%, and net profit dropped to 473 million yuan, a decrease of 44.95% [7]. - For the full year 2024, the company recorded revenue of 13.466 billion yuan, down 7.55%, and net profit of 2.583 billion yuan, down 43.01% [7]. - This marks the first time in nearly 20 years that the company has reported a decline in both revenue and net profit [7]. Market Dynamics - The growth hormone market has been significantly impacted by national procurement policies, which began in 2022, leading to substantial price reductions for Changchun High-tech's products [10]. - The introduction of volume-based procurement in 2023 further eroded profit margins, with prices for certain products dropping from 1,000 yuan to 300 yuan, resulting in a loss of approximately 70% of profit space [10]. Strategic Challenges - The company has heavily relied on its subsidiary, Jinsai Pharmaceutical, which has contributed around 80% of its revenue, but this segment has also seen declining performance [8][10]. - Jinsai Pharmaceutical's revenue for 2024 was 10.671 billion yuan, a decrease of 3.73%, and net profit fell by 40.67% to 2.678 billion yuan [7]. Cost Structure - Increased operational costs have been noted, with sales expenses rising by 30.60% to 1.212 billion yuan, management expenses up by 40.68% to 332 million yuan, and R&D expenses increasing by 21.80% to 514 million yuan [8]. - The number of sales personnel for Jinsai Pharmaceutical increased from 3,155 to 4,995, yet this did not prevent the decline in performance [8]. Future Strategies - The company is attempting to diversify its product offerings and expand the indications for its growth hormone products, including new approvals for various growth disorders [12][15]. - Changchun High-tech is also pursuing a multi-faceted transformation strategy, focusing on pediatric care, women's health, adult endocrinology, dermatology, and oncology [15]. - The company is investing in R&D for innovative drugs, such as an IL-1β drug for arthritis, which is expected to be approved this year [15]. Industry Context - The overall pharmaceutical industry is facing challenges related to innovation-driven transformation, with pressures from healthcare cost controls and a declining birth rate impacting market demand for growth hormones [16]. - The need for companies to balance investment and returns during this transition is critical, as not all firms will successfully navigate the shift towards innovative drug development [16].
