Core Viewpoint - In the post-COVID era, CanSino's performance is showing signs of recovery, primarily driven by the sales of its meningococcal vaccines, despite the overall market challenges for meningitis vaccines in China [3][4]. Financial Performance - CanSino reported a revenue of 846 million yuan for 2024, marking a year-on-year increase of 137.01% [3]. - The company achieved a net loss attributable to shareholders of 379 million yuan, which is a 74.45% reduction in losses compared to the previous year [3]. - The adjusted net loss was 441 million yuan, reflecting a 72.61% decrease in losses year-on-year [3].
