Current report

We achieved GAAP profitability in the first quarter of 2025 with continued global revenue growth. In the U.S., BRUKINSA remains the leader in new CLL patient starts across all lines of therapy, and for the first time has become the overall BTKi market share leader. We’ve made progress across our late-stage hematology and solid tumor pipelines, with multiple proof-of-concept readouts expected this year across our broad portfolio of antibody-drug conjugates, multispecific antibodies and targeted protein degraders.

Current report

•First quarter 2025 total revenues increased 49% to $1.1 billion with BRUKINSA® (zanubrutinib) global sales increasing 62%to $792 million on strong demand growth versus first quarter 2024

Current report

On April 29, 2025, we announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rendered a Final Written Decision invalidating all claims of Pharmacyclics LLC’s U.S. Patent No. 11,672,803 (the “‘803 patent”) that were challenged by BeiGene in a post-grant review (“PGR”) proceeding.

Current report

On April 3, 2025, we announced the discontinuation of our clinical development program for ociperlimab (BGB-A1217), an anti-TIGIT antibody, as a potential treatment for lung cancer.

Current report

On March 31, 2025, we announced the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency issued a positive opinion recommending approval of TEVIMBRA® (tislelizumab), in combination with etoposide and platinum chemotherapy, as a first-line treatment for adult patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Current report

On March 4, 2025, we announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved TEVIMBRA (tislelizumab-jsgr), in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy, for the first-line treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 (≥1).

Current report

Revenue for TEVIMBRA totaled $171.2 million in the first quarter, compared to $145.3 million in the prior-year period, representing a 17.8% increase.

Current report

GAAP net income improved for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to the prior-year period loss, primarily attributable to revenue growth and improved operating leverage.

Current report

For the first quarter of 2025, both basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.00 per share and $0.01 per American Depositary Share (“ADS”), respectively, compared to basic loss of $0.19 per share and $2.41 per ADS in the prior-year period.

Current report

As noted above, we hold RMB denominated cash in our Parent Company (largely arising from the STAR Offering) and incur foreign currency gains or losses when remeasuring such cash to the U.S. dollar. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred realized gains on cash of $3.2 million that is included in the reconciling items between net income and net cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows primarily related to the remeasurement of RMB denominated cash to USD. The RMB denominated cash in our Parent Company, however, is required to be used to fund RMB denominated expenditures and thus foreign currency gains or losses on such cash does not affect our ability to fund those expenditures.

Current report

We also have substantial operations in China and Europe, where the functional currency is the RMB and Euro, and as such the net cash flows are translated to the U.S. dollar for financial reporting. This process generates translation gains and losses primarily on RMB-denominated cash held in China and Euro-denominted cash held in Europe that are included in the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on the consolidated statements of cash flows, as such translation gains and losses are excluded from cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Previous report

BeiGene’s strong third-quarter results underscore the Company’s global oncology leadership driven by our unique R&D and clinical advantages as well as the tremendous launch trajectory of BRUKINSA.

Previous report

In the U.S., BRUKINSA, with the broadest label of any BTK inhibitor, is now the leader in new patient starts in both frontline and relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL in addition to all other approved B-cell malignancies. As the cornerstone of our hematology franchise, BRUKINSA shows tremendous promise for patients as a monotherapy and as a backbone for best-in-class combinations with our late-stage BCL2 inhibitor, sonrotoclax, and BTK degrader BGB-16673. In the solid tumor area, we’re expanding access to our PD-1 inhibitor, TEVIMBRA, for patients worldwide and building global commercial capabilities to support our prolific pipeline of exciting potential cancer medicines. We are laying the foundation for future franchises in breast, lung, and gastrointestinal cancers across three signature platform technologies including multi-specific antibodies, protein degraders, and antibody-drug conjugates. This progress not only highlights our achievements but also emphasizes our commitment to positively impacting patients' lives globally, fostering hope and advancements in the fight against cancer.

Previous report

On September 17, 2024, we announced that the Israeli Ministry of Health approved TEVIMBRA as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma after prior systemic chemotherapy.

Previous report

On August 26, 2024, we announced that the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to BGB-16673, an orally available investigational BTK targeting chimeric degradation activation compound, for adult patients with relapsed or refractory CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma who have been previously treated with at least two prior lines of therapy, including BTK inhibitor and BCL2 inhibitor.

Previous report

Total revenue increased to $1,001.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $781.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, due to an increase in sales of BRUKINSA, tislelizumab, and our in-licensed products from Amgen, partially offset by a decrease in collaboration revenue. Collaboration revenue decreased due to termination of the Novartis collaborations in the prior year.

Previous report

The following table summarizes the components of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Previous report

Revenue for tislelizumab in China totaled $162.9 million in the third quarter, compared to $144.4 million in the prior-year period, representing a 12.8% increase. Certain additional tislelizumab indications are eligible for 2025 NRDL inclusion. We do not believe price reductions resulting from inclusion, if any, will be significant.

Previous report

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Previous report

The following table summarizes the components of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Previous report

Net product revenue increased 70.7% to $2,661.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,559.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to increased sales of BRUKINSA in the U.S. and China and increased sales of tislelizumab in China. In addition, there were increased sales of our in-licensed products from Amgen.

Previous report

Global revenue for BRUKINSA totaled $1,816.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing a 107.0% increase compared to the prior-year period. U.S. revenue for BRUKINSA totaled $1,334.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $632.4 million in the prior-year period, representing growth of 111.0%. U.S. volume growth continued to accelerate in the period due primarily to demand growth coming from expanded use in CLL as BRUKINSA continued to gain share in CLL new patient starts. BRUKINSA revenue in Europe totaled $245.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing growth of 221.0% compared to the prior-year period, driven by continued gains in market share across all major markets.

Previous report

Revenue for tislelizumab in China totaled $466.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $408.7 million representing a 14.1% increase compared to the prior-year period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, new patient demand volume resulting from broader reimbursement and further expansion of our salesforce and hospital listings continued to drive increased market penetration and market share for tislelizumab. Certain additional tislelizumab indications are eligible for 2025 NRDL inclusion. We do not believe price reductions resulting from inclusion, if any, will be significant.

Previous report

Revenue for Amgen products in China totaled $263.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $136.1 million in the prior-year period, driven primarily by increased XGEVA demand since the NRDL inclusion.

Previous report

Collaboration revenue totaled $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily related to revenue generated under the Novartis broad markets marketing and promotion agreement. Collaboration revenue totaled $265.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, recognized from deferred revenue associated with the former Novartis tislelizumab and ociperlimab collaborations.

Previous report

Gross margin on product sales increased to $2,228.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,285.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to increased product revenue in the current year period. On a GAAP basis, gross margin as a percentage of product sales increased to 83.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from 82.4% in the comparable period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to a proportionally higher sales mix of global BRUKINSA compared to other products in the portfolio, slightly offset by the impact of accelerated depreciation expense of $16.9 million resulting from the move to more efficient, larger scale production lines for tislelizumab, with a similar amount to be incurred in the fourth quarter related to this move. On an adjusted basis, which does not include the accelerated depreciation, gross margin as a percentage of product sales increased to 84.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from 83.0% in the comparable period of the prior year.

Previous report

Research and development expense increased by $126.7 million, or 9.9%, to $1,411.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $1,284.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The following table summarizes external clinical, external non-clinical and internal research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Previous report

The increase in external research and development expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to higher development milestone fees, increases in Amgen co-development expense, and higher external clinical trial costs.

Previous report

Internal research and development expense increased $64.1 million, or 7.6%, to $910.1 million and was primarily attributable to the expansion of our global development organization and our clinical and preclinical drug candidates, as well as our continued efforts to internalize research and clinical trial activities. Included within internal research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is $24.9 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to the move of clinical production to larger, more efficient production lines with approximately $2.0 million remaining to be incurred in the fourth quarter.

Previous report

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $236.8 million, or 21.7%, to $1,326.4 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from $1,089.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to investing in the expansion of our commercial activities to support our product launches, primarily BRUKINSA in the U.S. and Europe to drive continued revenue and margin expansion. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of product sales were 49.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 69.9% in the prior-year period. We expect continued investment growth in selling and marketing expenses as our product sales increase.

Previous report

Interest income, net decreased by $17.7 million, or 30.7%, to $40.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from $57.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to lower interest rates earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense increased resulting from a higher debt balance, slightly offset by an increase in interest capitalization related to Hopewell construction.

Previous report

We have substantial operations in the PRC, which generate a significant amount of RMB-denominated cash from product sales and require a significant amount of RMB-denominated cash to pay our obligations. We hold a significant amount of RMB-denominated deposits at our China subsidiaries. Since the reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar, periods of volatility in exchange rates may have a significant impact on our consolidated cash balances as they are translated into U.S. dollars. The impact of foreign currency deposits being translated into the U.S. dollar positively impacted ending cash by $8.0 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a negative impact of $50.3 million in the prior-year period.

Previous report

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate sustained positive operating cash flow, we will continue to use existing cash and net proceeds from short-term financing (see Financing Activities above) to fund our capital expansion needs and business development goals. We may be required to finance our incremental cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, new debt financings, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements, government grants, and other available sources. Under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (“SEC”), we currently qualify as a “well-known seasoned issuer,” which allows us to file shelf registration statements to register an unspecified amount of securities that are effective upon filing. In May 2023, we filed such a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the issuance of an unspecified amount of ordinary shares (including in the form of ADSs), preferred shares, various series of debt securities and/or warrants to purchase any of such securities, either individually or in units, from time to time at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of any such offering. This registration statement was effective upon filing and will remain in effect for up to three years from filing, prior to which time we may file another shelf registration statement that will be effective for up to three years from filing.

Previous report

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a holder of ADSs, ordinary shares, or RMB Shares. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends, and may require the issuance of warrants, which could potentially dilute our investors’ ownership interest. If we raise additional funds through collaboration agreements, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our medicines or drug candidates, future revenue streams or research programs, or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Previous report

Furthermore, our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by worsening global economic conditions, with disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide, resulting from the effects of inflationary pressures, previous and potential future bank failures and otherwise. If these conditions persist and deepen, we could experience an inability to access additional capital or our liquidity could otherwise be impacted, which could in the future negatively affect our capacity for certain corporate development transactions or our ability to make other important, opportunistic investments. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings, collaborations or other sources when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market products or drug candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Previous wording

We provide certain financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), commonly referred to as non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations and certain other non-GAAP measures, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information on our operating performance. Adjustments to our GAAP figures exclude, as applicable, non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization. Certain other special items or substantive events may also be included in the non-GAAP adjustments periodically when their magnitude is significant within the periods incurred. We maintain an established non-GAAP policy that guides the determination of what items may be excluded in non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of our operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of our historical and expected financial results and trends and to facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators BeiGene’s management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used by BeiGene may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
