2. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation and Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”). The December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet data included in this report were derived from the audited financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2025.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zai Lab Limited and its subsidiaries, which are wholly owned. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.
(c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, accrual of rebates, recognition of research and development expenses based on the Company’s estimates of the actual services performed by CROs and CMOs, fair value of share-based compensation expenses, recoverability of deferred tax assets, and useful life of intangible assets for commercial products. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(d) Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments of the Company primarily include cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepayments and other current assets, non-current restricted cash, accounts payable, short-term debt, and other current liabilities. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable,

Zai Lab Limited
Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, short-term debt, and other current liabilities approximated their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments, and the carrying value of notes receivable and non-current restricted cash approximated their fair value based on the assessment of the ability to recover these amounts.
(e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. This ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will result in additional disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, once adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and expects to adopt it for the year ending December 31, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and expects to adopt it for the year ending December 31, 2027.

16. Restricted Net Assets
Chinese laws and regulations restrict the Company’s ability to receive distributions of funds from its Chinese subsidiaries. For example, relevant Chinese laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations.
In accordance with the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China, each Chinese subsidiary of the Company is required to provide statutory reserves of at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit until such reserve has reached 50% of its respective registered capital based on the enterprise’s Chinese statutory accounts. The reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. Foreign exchange and other regulations in mainland China may further restrict the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries from transferring out funds in the form of dividends, loans, and advances.
No appropriation to statutory reserves was made in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 because the Chinese subsidiaries had substantial losses during such periods. The Company did not receive any distributions from its Chinese subsidiaries; such distributions were not permitted under Chinese laws and regulations due to the reserve

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our 2024 Annual Report and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 included in Item 1. Financial Statements.
Overview
We are a patient-focused, innovative, commercial-stage, global biopharmaceutical company with a substantial presence in both Greater China and the United States. We are focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing products that address medical conditions with significant unmet needs in the areas of oncology, immunology, neuroscience, and infectious disease. We intend to leverage our competencies and resources to positively impact human health. We currently have seven commercial programs – ZEJULA, VYVGART / VYVGART Hytrulo, NUZYRA, OPTUNE, QINLOCK, XACDURO, and AUGTYRO – with products that have received marketing approval and that we have commercially launched in one or more territories in Greater China. We also have multiple programs in late-stage product development and a number of ongoing pivotal trials across our portfolio.
Since our inception, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from our operations. Substantially all of our losses have resulted from funding our research and development programs and selling, general, and administrative costs associated with our operations. Developing high quality product candidates requires significant investment in our research and development activities over a prolonged period of time, and a core part of our strategy is to continue making sustained investments in this area. Our ability to generate profits and positive cash flow from operations depends upon our ability to successfully market our commercial products and to successfully expand the indications for these products and develop and commercialize our other product candidates. As discussed further below, we expect to continue to incur substantial costs related to our research and development and commercialization activities.
As we pursue our corporate strategic goals, we anticipate that our financial results will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year depending in part on the balance between the success of our commercial products and the level of our research and development expenses. We cannot predict whether or when our product candidates will receive regulatory approval. Further, if we receive such regulatory approval, we cannot predict whether or when we may be able to successfully commercialize such products or whether or when such products may become profitable.
Recent Developments
Commercial Products
Net product revenue was $115.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 13% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher sales of NUZYRA, supported by increasing market coverage and penetration, and XACDURO, which was launched since the fourth quarter of 2024. These higher sales were partially offset by softer sales of ZEJULA, due to evolving competitive dynamics within the PARPi class.
Product Candidates
We continued to advance our product candidates through our research and development activities, including the following developments with respect to our clinical trials and regulatory approvals:
Oncology
Zocilurtatug Pelitecan (Zoci, DLL3 ADC) (formerly ZL-1310): In October 2025, we presented updated data from the global Phase I clinical trial evaluating zoci for the treatment of patients with ES-SCLC at the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference. The data demonstrated a best overall response rate of 68% in 2L patients treated at the 1.6 mg/kg dose in ES-SCLC. The median duration of response was 6.1 months across all patients and is clinically meaningful in this population with advanced disease. Meaningful activity in patients with brain metastases was also observed, including an 80% response rate in patients with untreated brain metastases. The data also demonstrated a well-tolerated safety profile at 1.6 mg/kg, with Grade ≥ 3
18


treatment-related adverse events of 13%, no Grade ≥2 interstitial lung disease, and no drug discontinuations. We have initiated a global registrational study of zoci monotherapy in 2L+ SCLC.
Tisotumab Vedotin (TIVDAK, Tissue Factor ADC): In September 2025, the Hong Kong Department of Health approved TIVDAK in Hong Kong for the treatment of adult patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after chemotherapy. TIVDAK is currently under regulatory review for its Biologics License Application by the NMPA, which was accepted in March 2025.
Bemarituzumab: In September 2025, our partner Amgen announced that the descriptive follow-up analysis of the Phase III FORTITUDE-101 clinical trial evaluating bemarituzumab in FGFR2b positive 1L gastric cancer has been completed. At the pre-specified interim analysis (the primary analysis), overall survival was significantly improved with bemarituzumab plus chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) versus chemotherapy alone (median OS of 17.9 months versus 12.5 months). However, at the follow-up analysis, the magnitude of the previously observed survival benefit attenuated (median OS of 14.5 months versus 13.2 months). Data was presented in October 2025 at the ESMO conference in Berlin. In November 2025, Amgen announced that FORTITUDE-102, a Phase Ib/III study evaluating bemarituzumab in combination with nivolumab and chemotherapy in the same patient population, was stopped.
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields): In August 2025, the NMPA granted Innovative Medical Device Designation for TTFields therapy for patients with pancreatic cancer based on the positive results from the Phase III PANOVA-3 trial. This designation offers opportunities to expedite the regulatory review and approval process. The Phase III PANOVA-3 trial evaluated the use of TTFields therapy concomitantly with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel as a first-line treatment for unresectable, locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared to gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel alone. The trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in median overall survival for patients treated with TTFields. We participated in the study in Greater China. We plan to file for regulatory approval in mainland China in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Immunology, Neuroscience, and Infectious Disease
ZL-1503 (IL-13 / IL-31): In November 2025, we initiated a global Phase I/Ib study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ZL-1503 in healthy volunteers and participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
Efgartigimod (FcRn): In August 2025, our partner argenx announced topline results from the pivotal ADAPT SERON study of VYVGART in patients with AChR-Ab seronegative gMG. The study met its primary endpoint (p-value=0.0068), demonstrating that AChR-Ab seronegative gMG patients treated with VYVGART achieved a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in MG-ADL (Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living) total score compared to placebo. Based on these results, argenx plans to submit an sBLA to the FDA seeking expansion of the VYVGART label to include adult AChR-Ab seronegative gMG patients. VYVGART was well tolerated and safe across AChR-Ab seronegative subtypes and consistent with the established safety profile in patients with AChR-Ab seropositive gMG and other indications. No new safety concerns were identified. We participated in the study in Greater China and are considering a potential China regulatory submission.

In September 2025, we joined the registrational UNITY study of the subcutaneous formulation of efgartigimod given by pre-filled syringe in Sjorgen’s disease in Greater China.
Xanomeline-Trospium (or KarXT) (M1/M4-agonist): In September 2025, the “China Schizophrenia Prevention and Treatment Guidelines (2025 Edition)” were officially released, and KarXT was included for the first time, marking the first national-level guideline globally to include KarXT. The guidelines emphasize KarXT’s broad efficacy across all three symptom domains (positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms) and
19


its unique safety profile, supporting long-term adherence and functional recovery. The NMPA accepted the NDA for KarXT for the treatment of schizophrenia in January 2025.
Povetacicept (Pove, APRIL/BAFF): In September 2025, our partner Vertex announced that the FDA had granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to pove for the treatment of IgA nephropathy. We participated in the global Phase III RAINIER study of pove in patients with IgAN in Greater China. Vertex has completed full enrollment of the Phase III study, including the interim analysis cohort for potential accelerated approval in the United States.
Organizational Updates
During the third quarter, we continued to strengthen our business through key new additions to our global leadership team. For example, we appointed Dr. Shan He as Senior Vice President, Chief Business Officer in September 2025. Dr. He is a respected leader with deep expertise in healthcare strategy, capital markets, and entrepreneurship. She will be responsible for leading and directing strategy for business development and strategic partnerships. We also announced the creation of our Oncology Scientific Advisory Board (“SAB”) in August 2025. This newly formed Oncology SAB is comprised of distinguished oncology leaders and will support the advancement of our robust oncology products and pipeline, including multiple internally developed investigational therapies.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our Commercial Products
We generate product revenue through the sale of our commercial products in Greater China, net of any related sales returns and rebates to distributors. Our cost of product revenue mainly consists of the costs of manufacturing ZEJULA and NUZYRA; costs of purchasing VYVGART / VYVGART Hytrulo, OPTUNE, QINLOCK, XACDURO, and AUGTYRO from our collaboration partners; any royalty fees incurred as a result of sales of our commercial products under our license and collaboration agreements; and amortization of capitalized post-approval milestone fees incurred under our license and collaboration agreements. We expect our product revenue to increase in coming years as we continue to focus on increasing patient access to our existing commercial products, such as through NRDL listing or increased supplemental insurance coverage in the private-pay market, and as we launch additional commercial products, if and when we obtain required regulatory approvals. We expect our cost of product revenue to increase as the volume of products sold increases.
Research and Development Expenses
We believe our ability to successfully develop product candidates will be the primary factor affecting our long-term competitiveness, as well as our future growth and development. Developing high quality product candidates requires a significant investment of resources over a prolonged period of time. We are committed to advancing and expanding our pipeline of potential best-in-class and first-in-class products, such as through clinical and pre-clinical trials and business development activities. As a result, we expect to continue making significant investments in research and development, including internal discovery activities.
Elements of research and development expenditures primarily include:
payroll and other related costs of personnel engaged in research and development activities;
fees for exclusive development rights of products granted to the Company;
costs related to pre-clinical testing of the Company’s technologies and clinical trials, such as payments to CROs and CMOs, investigators, and clinical trial sites that conduct our clinical studies; and
costs to produce the product candidates, including raw materials and supplies, product testing, depreciation, and facility-related expenses.
20


Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel compensation and related costs, including share-based compensation for commercial and administrative personnel. Other selling, general, and administrative expenses include product distribution and promotion costs, and professional service fees for legal, intellectual property, auditing, and tax services as well as other direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, insurance, and other supplies used in selling, general, and administrative activities. We expect these costs to continue to be significant to support sales of our commercial products and preparation to launch and subsequent sales of additional product candidates if and when approved.
Our Ability to Commercialize Our Product Candidates
We have multiple product candidates in late-stage clinical development and various others in clinical and pre-clinical development in Greater China and globally. Our ability to generate revenue from our product candidates is dependent on our receipt of regulatory approvals for and successful commercialization of such product candidates, which may not occur. Certain of our product candidates may require additional pre-clinical and/or clinical development, regulatory approvals in multiple jurisdictions, manufacturing supply, and significant marketing efforts before we generate any revenue from product sales.
License and Collaboration Arrangements
Our results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by our license and collaboration agreements. In accordance with these agreements, we may be required to make upfront payments and milestone payments upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory, and sales-based milestones for the relevant products as well as certain royalties at tiered percentage rates based on annual net sales of the licensed products in the licensed territories. As of September 30, 2025, we may in the future be required to pay development and regulatory milestone payments of up to an additional aggregate amount of $211.0 million for our current clinical programs and $366.0 million for other programs. Such development and regulatory milestone payments are contingent on the progress of our product candidates prior to commercialization, and we see these payments as favorable because they indicate that product candidates are advancing. As of September 30, 2025, we also in the future may be required to pay sales-based milestone payments of up to an additional aggregate amount of $1,753.0 million as well as certain royalties at tiered percentage rates on annual net sales. Such sales-based milestone and royalty payments are contingent on the performance of our commercial products, and we see these payments as favorable because they signify that a product is achieving higher sales levels.

22


Our net product revenue increased by $13.5 million and $41.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to NUZYRA, supported by increasing market coverage and penetration, XACDURO, which was launched since the fourth quarter of 2024, and higher sales of VYVGART, driven by an extension of duration of therapy and increasing market penetration. These higher sales were partially offset by softer sales of ZEJULA, due to evolving competitive dynamics within the PARPi class.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue increased by $10.2 million and $22.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to increasing sales volumes.
Collaboration Revenue and Cost of Collaboration Revenue
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, collaboration revenue increased by $0.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and cost of collaboration revenue increased by $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which are related to promotional activities in mainland China.

Research and development expenses decreased by $18.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to:
a decrease of $22.6 million in licensing fees in connection with decreased upfront and milestone payments for our license and collaboration agreements; and
a decrease of $1.9 million in personnel compensation and related costs primarily driven by our resource prioritization and efficiency efforts; partially offset by
an increase of $5.7 million in CROs/CMOs/Investigators expenses related to ongoing clinical trials.
Research and development expenses decreased by $23.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to a decrease of $14.6 million in personnel compensation and related costs and a decrease of $8.7 million in CROs/CMOs/Investigators expenses primarily driven by our resource prioritization and efficiency efforts.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily driven by higher general selling expenses to support the growth of NUZYRA and VYVGART, partially offset by decreases in selling expenses related to ZEJULA. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $11.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to our resource prioritization and efficiency efforts.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased by $0.7 million and $2.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to decreased interest rates.
Interest Expenses
Interest expense increased by $0.7 million and $2.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to higher levels of short-term debt.

Foreign Currency Gains
Foreign currency gains were $6.4 million and $9.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $14.5 million and $8.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The foreign currency gains were primarily driven by remeasurement gains due to appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other expense, net was $0.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to other income, net of $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in government grants.
Other income decreased by $0.8 million to $3.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to decreased loss on our equity investment in MacroGenics offset by a decrease in government grants.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was nil in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Net Loss
Net loss was $36.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, or a loss per ordinary share attributable to stockholders of $0.03 (or loss per ADS of $0.33), compared to a net loss of $41.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, or a loss per ordinary share of $0.04 (or loss per ADS of $0.42).
Net loss was $125.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, or a loss per ordinary share attributable to stockholders of $0.11 (or loss per ADS of $1.15), compared to a net loss of $175.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, or a loss per ordinary share of $0.18 (or loss per ADS of $1.80).
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
Our most critical accounting policies and estimates, including those that require the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments and are the most inherently uncertain, are described below.
Revenue Recognition
We sell our products to distributors (our customers), who ultimately sell the products to healthcare providers, primarily in mainland China. We recognize revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied upon the product’s delivery to distributors.
We offer rebates to our distributors to compensate the distributors consistent with pharmaceutical industry practices. We are required to establish a provision for rebates in the same period the related product sales are recognized. The estimated amount of rebates, if any, is recorded as a reduction of revenue.
Significant judgments are required in making these estimates. In determining the appropriate accrual amount, we consider our contracted rates, sales volumes, levels of distributor inventories, and historical experiences and trends. If actual results vary from our estimates or our expectations change, we will adjust these estimates accordingly, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become expected or known.
25


Research and Development Expenses
We have a significant amount of research and development expenses, including with respect to pre-clinical and clinical trials for our product candidates. Such costs are expensed as incurred when they have no alternative future uses.
We contract with third parties to perform various pre-clinical and clinical trial activities on our behalf in the ongoing development of our product candidates. Expenses related to pre-clinical and clinical trial activities are accrued based on the Company’s estimates of the actual services performed by the third parties, such as CROs and CMOs.
Significant judgments are required in estimating the actual services performed by the third parties for the respective period and the related expense accruals. In determining the appropriate accrual, we consider a variety of factors, including contractual requirements with respect to services to be provided, related rates, and our assessment of services performed during the period and progress with respect to any contractual milestones when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified by third parties of actual costs. If the actual status and timing of services performed vary from our estimates, our reported expenses and earnings for the corresponding period may be affected.
Share-Based Compensation
We grant share-based awards, including share options and restricted shares, to eligible employees, non-employees, and directors. Such share-based awards are measured at grant date fair value.
Significant assumptions are required in determining the fair value of share options, which we estimate using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. These assumptions include: (i) the volatility of our ADS price, (ii) the periods of time over which grantees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise (expected term), (iii) the expected dividend yield on our ADSs, and (iv) risk-free interest rates. Since we do not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior, the expected term is derived from the average midpoint between the weighted-average vesting and the contractual term, also known as the simplified method. The expected dividend yield is zero as we have never paid dividends and do not currently anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future, and risk-free interest rates are based on quoted U.S. Treasury rates for securities with maturities approximating the expected term. If actual results vary from our estimates or our expectations change, our reported expenses and earnings for the corresponding period may be affected.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, which are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Significant judgements are required when evaluating tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.
We recognize in our financial statements the benefit of a tax position if the tax position is “more likely than not” to prevail based on the facts and technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. We estimate our liability for unrecognized tax benefits which are periodically assessed and may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits, and the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The ultimate outcome for a particular tax position may not be determined with certainty prior to the conclusion of a tax audit and, in some cases, appeal or litigation process.
We consider positive and negative evidence when determining whether some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment considers various factors, including the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods, our historical results of operations, and our tax planning strategies. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Our estimates may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits, and expiration of the statute of limitations. If actual benefits vary from our estimates or our expectations change, we
26


will adjust the recognition and measurement estimates accordingly, which would affect reported expenses and earnings in the corresponding period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have financed our activities primarily through private placements and public offerings, including our September 2017 initial public offering and various follow-on offerings on Nasdaq and our September 2020 secondary listing and initial public offering on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. We have raised approximately $164.6 million in private equity financing and approximately $2,677.8 million in net proceeds from public offerings after deducting underwriting commissions and the offering expenses payable by us. Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. The net cash used in our operating activities was $124.8 million and $159.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For information on our research and development activities and related expenditures, see the Research and Development Expenses, Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses, License and Collaboration Arrangements, and Results of Operations sections above. In addition, as of September 30, 2025, we had commitments of $0.7 million related to commercial manufacturing development activities and capital expenditures.
We have also identified opportunities to access capital through debt arrangements on favorable commercial terms. As of September 30, 2025, we had such debt arrangements with Chinese financial institutions that allow certain of our subsidiaries to borrow up to approximately $275.4 million (or RMB1,971.7 million) to support our working capital needs in mainland China. As of September 30, 2025, we had short-term debt outstanding of $203.0 million (or RMB1,442.6 million) pursuant to these debt arrangements. These debt arrangements provide us with additional capital capacity that will give us enhanced flexibility to execute on our corporate strategic goals. For more information, see Note 10. In addition, after the third quarter, we entered into a new facility with a Chinese financial institution that will allow certain of our subsidiaries to borrow up to an additional RMB300 million (approximately $42.1 million). For more information, see Note 19.
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash, and short-term investments of $817.2 million, which we expect will enable us to meet our cash requirements including the funding of operating expenses, capital expenditures, and debt obligations for at least the next 12 months.
Although we believe that we have sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months, we may, from time to time, utilize debt arrangements on favorable commercial terms or consider additional funding sources to bring to fruition our strategic objectives. There can be no assurances that such funding will be made available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $346.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $313.7 million in proceeds from the maturity of short-term investments, a decrease of $36.0 million from acquisitions of intangible assets, and an increase of $1.2 million in proceeds from the sale of our equity investment in MacroGenics, partially offset by an increase of $4.4 million in purchases of property and equipment.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $39.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $116.7 million in repayment of short-term bank borrowings and $8.2 million in employee taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, partially offset by an increase of $74.3 million in short-term debt proceeds and $12.1 million in proceeds from exercises of stock options.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
For more information regarding recently issued accounting standards, see Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Recent Accounting Pronouncements in our 2024 Annual Report. The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk including foreign exchange risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Renminbi, or RMB, is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. The cash and cash equivalents of the Company included aggregated amounts of $25.6 million and $19.0 million, which were denominated in RMB, representing 4% and 4% of the cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
While our financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, our business mainly operates in mainland China with a significant portion of our transactions settled in RMB, and as such, we do not believe that we currently have significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not used derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to such risk. Although, in general, our exposure to foreign exchange risk should be limited, the value of your investment in our ADSs and ordinary shares will be affected by the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB and between the HK dollar and the RMB, respectively, because the value of our business is effectively denominated in RMB, while ADSs and ordinary shares are traded in U.S. dollars and HK dollars, respectively.
The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in Greater China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China.
The value of our ADSs and our ordinary shares will be affected by the foreign exchange rates between U.S. dollars, HK dollars, and the RMB. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars or HK dollars into RMB for our operations or if any of our arrangements with other parties are denominated in U.S. dollars or HK dollars and need to be converted into RMB, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar or the HK dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert RMB into U.S. dollars or HK dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar or the HK dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the conversion amounts available to us.
Since 1983, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has pegged the HK dollar to the U.S. dollar at the rate of approximately HK$7.80 to US$1.00. However, there is no assurance that the HK dollar will continue to be pegged to the U.S. dollar or that the HK dollar conversion rate will remain at HK$7.80 to US$1.00. If the HK dollar conversion rate
28


against the U.S. dollar changes and the value of the HK dollar depreciates against the U.S. dollar, our assets denominated in HK dollars will be adversely affected. Additionally, if the Hong Kong Monetary Authority were to repeg the HK dollar to, for example, the RMB rather than the U.S. dollar, or otherwise restrict the conversion of HK dollars into other currencies, then our assets denominated in HK dollars will be adversely affected.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and notes receivable.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments represent the maximum amount of losses due to credit risk. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $717.2 million and $449.7 million, respectively, restricted cash of $101.1 million and $101.1 million, respectively, and short-term investments of nil and $330.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were held by major financial institutions located in mainland China and international financial institutions outside of mainland China which we believe are of high credit quality and for which we monitor continued credit worthiness.
Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from product revenue. We manage credit risk related to our accounts receivable through ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances and limiting the amount of credit extended based upon payment history and credit worthiness. Historically, we have collected receivables from customers within the credit terms with no significant credit losses incurred. As of September 30, 2025, our two largest customers accounted for approximately 19% of our total accounts receivable collectively.
Certain accounts receivable balances are settled in the form of notes receivable. As of September 30, 2025, such notes receivable included bank acceptance promissory notes that are non-interest bearing and due within six months. These notes receivable were used to collect the receivables based on an administrative convenience, given these notes are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. In accordance with the sales agreements, whether to use cash or bank acceptance promissory notes to settle the receivables is at our discretion, and this selection does not impact the agreed contractual purchase prices.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to risks related to changes in interest rates on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $717.2 million and $449.7 million, respectively, restricted cash of $101.1 million and $101.1 million, respectively, and short-term investments of nil and $330.0 million, respectively. Our investment portfolio, which relates to cash equivalents and short-term investments, primarily consists of time deposits. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity, and maximize income without significantly increasing risk. Given the short‑term nature of our deposits and investments, we believe that a sudden change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material impact on our financial condition and/or results of operation. For example, a hypothetical 10% relative change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have a material impact on future interest income.
We are also exposed to risks related to changes in interest rates on our short-term debt, which is currently subject to a mix of fixed and floating interest rates. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had short-term debt of $203.0 million and $131.7 million, respectively. A 100-basis point increase in interest rates would not materially increase our interest expense. Our interest rate exposure from short-term debt is also offset by our exposure in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments, as discussed above. For more information on our short-term debt, see Note 10.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or furnish under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. Based upon that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such item is defined in Rules 13a-15(f)) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Upon Party B’s application, Party A agrees to provide credit limit for Party B for Party B’s use. Party A and Party B have reached a consensus through thorough negotiation on the following terms and hereby concluded this Agreement in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.
1. Credit Limit
1.1 Under this Agreement, Party A shall provide Party B with a credit limit (revolving limit) of Renminbi (in words) Five Hundred Million Yuan. Party B may apply for specific transactions in other currencies within the credit limit (the exchange rate will be based on the foreign exchange rate published by Party A at the time when the specific transaction occurs).
If any specific loan made under the Credit Agreement (applicable where no separate loan contracts are required for working capital loans) with No. Z902240301 between Party A (or Party A’s subordinate institution) and Party B is still outstanding, it will be automatically included in this Agreement and directly occupy the credit limit under this Agreement.
1.2 The credit period is 24 months, starting from August 18, 2025 to August 17, 2027. If Party B needs to utilize the credit limit to conduct specific credit transactions, it shall submit an application for credit limit usage to Party A within this period.

2. Credit Limit Utilization Arrangement
During the credit period, specific credit transactions applied for by Party B and approved by Party A will be automatically included in this Agreement and utilize the credit limit hereunder.
3. Approval and Use of Credit Limit
3.1 The credit limit under this Agreement shall be a revolving limit, and the applicable types of credit transactions, specific credit limits for each type of credit transaction, whether interchanging usage is allowed between different types of credit transactions, and specific conditions for use and more are all subject to Party A’s approval and consent. If Party A makes adjustments to its original approval opinions based on Party B’s application during the credit period, the subsequent approval opinions issued by Party A shall constitute supplements and amendments to the original approval opinions, and the same applies moving forward.
3.2 Party B must apply for the use of the credit limit on a per-transaction basis and submit the required documents as requested by Party A for Party A’s review and approval of each individual application. Party A has the right to consider whether to grant approval based on its internal management requirements and Party B’s business situation, and the right to unilaterally reject Party B’s application for use without assuming legal liability in any form towards Party B. In the event of any inconsistency between this provision and other relevant provisions under this Agreement, this provision shall prevail.
3.3 Upon Party A’s approval and consent for a specific credit transaction, the specific transaction documents (including but not limited to individual agreements/applications, framework agreements or specific business contracts) signed by Party A and Party B for the specific credit transaction shall constitute an integral part of the Credit Agreement. The specific amount, interest rate, term, use, fees, and other business elements of each loan or other credit transaction shall be determined based on the specific transaction documents and transaction vouchers confirmed by Party A (including but not limited to applications for withdrawal, loan receipts (if any), etc.), and the transaction records in Party A’s system. In case of any inconsistency, the records in Party A’s system shall prevail. The interest rate under this Agreement, unless otherwise specified in the specific transaction
Page 2 of 24


documents and transaction vouchers (including but not limited to loan receipts, etc.) confirmed by Party A as well as the business records in Party A’s system, shall be calculated using the simple interest method.
If Party B applies for working capital loans within the approved credit limit, both parties are not required to separately sign a Loan Agreement for each transaction. Party B shall submit an application for withdrawal for each transaction when applying for funds, and Party A shall approve each transaction separately.
3.4 Party A shall have the right to adjust the benchmark interest rate or interest rate determination method for loans/other credit under this Agreement on a regular or ad-hoc basis based on changes in the relevant national policies, domestic and foreign market conditions or its own credit policy situation. Such adjustments shall take effect after Party A notifies Party B (notification methods include making an announcement at Party A’s branches or on the China Merchants Bank official website, or sending notifications based on any mailing address/method provided by Party B in this Agreement); if Party B does not accept the adjustments, it may make early repayment of the loan; otherwise, it shall be deemed that Party B agrees to the adjustment as notified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a fixed interest rate is chosen, any adjustment to the fixed interest rate must be made by supplementary agreement between both parties.
In the event of any inconsistency between this provision and other relevant provisions of this Agreement, the terms hereof shall prevail.
3.5 Each loan or other credit within the credit limit shall be used for a period specifically determined in accordance with Party B’s business needs and Party A’s business management regulations, and the due date for each specific transaction may be later than the due date of the credit period (unless otherwise required by Party A).

Page 3 of 24


4.2 If Party B fails to use a loan in accordance with the provisions hereunder, the portion of the loan that is not used for the agreed purpose shall be subject to a penalty interest rate of 100% on top of the original interest rate from the date when the change of use occurs. The original interest rate refers to the rate applicable before the loan’s intended use is changed.
If Party B fails to repay a loan on time, 50% (overdue loan interest rate) of the standard overdue interest (penalty interest) will be charged on the unpaid portion from the date of the delay, based on the original interest rate. The original interest rate refers to the interest rate applicable before the loan due date (including the early due date) (if it is a floating interest rate, it is the last floating cycle before the loan due date (including the early due date)).
If a loan is both overdue and not used for the contracted purpose, interest will be charged at the higher of the above provisions.
4.3 During the loan period, if any regulation is issued by the People’s Bank of China regarding the adjustment of loan interest rates , such regulation by the People’s Bank of China shall be implemented. For avoidance of doubt, in the event that a fixed interest rate is chosen, adjustments to the fixed interest rate must be made by supplementary agreement between both parties.

4.5 Party B shall pay interest on each interest settlement date, and Party A may directly deduct the interest payable from any account with China Merchants Bank of Party B. If the last repayment date of the loan principal is not the interest settlement date, the last repayment date of the loan principal is the interest payment date, and the borrower should pay all the interests payable corresponding to the loan principal on that date. If Party B fails to pay interest on time, compound interest shall be calculated on the unpaid interest (including penalty interest) at the overdue loan interest rate specified in this provision.
