Insights

Financial Analyst

Examining the financial results of Zai Lab Limited reveals a notable 25% year-over-year growth in product revenue, with even higher growth at constant exchange rates. This indicates a robust demand for the company's products, particularly VYVGART, which has shown impressive traction in the Chinese market. The company's cash position remains strong despite a decrease from the previous year, which could signal strategic investments or increased operating costs. Investors should consider the potential for continued revenue growth against the backdrop of the company's aim to achieve profitability by the end of 2025.

Market Research Analyst

The inclusion of VYVGART on China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) is likely to enhance patient access and drive sales volumes, a positive signal for market adoption and future revenue streams. The company's strategic focus on launching new products and expanding indications over the next few years could further catalyze growth. However, investors should be mindful of the competitive landscape and the impact of regulatory changes, such as anti-corruption enforcement efforts that have previously affected hospital and physician practices in China.

Medical Research Analyst

Zai Lab's diverse pipeline, including potential regulatory approvals for sulbactam-durlobactam and efgartigimod SC, positions the company at the forefront of innovation in the biotech sector. The therapeutic areas covered by their products, such as oncology, autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases, address significant unmet medical needs. The company's R&D strategy and upcoming clinical trial readouts could have a substantial impact on the company's valuation and market positioning, provided the trials yield positive results.

• Total product revenue of $266.7 million for Full-Year 2023, representing 25% y-o-y growth; 31% y-o-y growth at constant exchange rate (CER)

• VYVGART^® (efgartigimod alfa injection) was launched in September 2023 in China and we estimate that nearly 1,000 patients were treated through the fourth quarter before its listing on China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL)

• We estimate that nearly 1,000 new patients were treated with VYVGART in January 2024 alone; expect VYVGART product sales to exceed $70.0 million in 2024

• Regulatory reviews ongoing for sulbactam-durlobactam, efgartigimod SC and repotrectinib; up to four new regulatory submissions expected in 2024

• Strong balance sheet with a cash position of $807.6 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2022

SHANGHAI & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688) today announced financial results for full-year 2023, along with recent product highlights and corporate updates.

“We made excellent progress on several key strategic priorities in 2023, notably the launch of VYVGART in China for generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in September and the drug’s successful inclusion on China’s NRDL for this indication effective January 1, 2024,” said Dr. Samantha Du, Founder, Chairperson, and Chief Executive Officer of Zai Lab. “The launch is off to an impressive start with more patients treated with VYVGART in January than the last four months of 2023 combined, fueled by high physician adoption and increased patient access as hospitals add VYVGART to formularies. Looking ahead, we expect strong commercial performance across our portfolio this year, and are preparing for three new potential launches in 2024. We are also excited by the progress of our late-stage pipeline and our growing global early-stage development efforts. We are on track to achieve the objectives outlined in our five-year strategic plan and to position Zai Lab as a high-growth, profitable and innovative biotech company.”

“We are focused on achieving three corporate objectives,” said Josh Smiley, President and Chief Operating Officer of Zai Lab. “First, we seek to accelerate top-line growth supported by multiple launches of new products and indications over the next two to three years. Second, we aim to reach corporate profitability by the end of 2025 through revenue growth and continued focus on efficiency and productivity. Third, we are committed to building a global portfolio through our internal discovery activities and strategic business development. These corporate objectives capture our vision for Zai Lab, where we lead with innovation, grow with purpose, and deliver on our mission of improving patient lives globally,” Mr. Smiley concluded.

Full-Year 2023 Financial Results

• Product revenue was $266.7 million in 2023, compared to $212.7 million in 2022, representing 25% y-o-y growth and 31% y-o-y growth at CER. This increase was primarily driven by increased sales volumes, the launch of VYVGART, and decreased negative effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in sales rebates to distributors and the effects on hospital and physician practices from the recent industry-wide anti-corruption enforcement efforts in China in the second half of 2023.
  • Sales rebates to distributors resulting from price reductions in connection with NRDL listings were $13.0 million in 2023, up from $5.3 million in 2022, driven by an increased number of new and renewed NRDL listings.

Key Highlights by Commercial Products

ZEJULA^®

• $168.8 million in 2023, which increased 16% y-o-y from $145.2 million in 2022.
• The increase was driven by increased hospital sales in first-line ovarian cancer and duration of treatment prolongment, partially offset by sales rebates in connection with the renewal in the NRDL.
• ZEJULA continues to be the leading PARP inhibitor in hospital sales for ovarian cancer in China, in its third year on the NRDL.
• ZEJULA’s NRDL listing was renewed for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with first-line and recurrent ovarian cancer, effective January 1, 2024.

VYVGART^®

• $10.0 million in 2023, compared to nil in 2022.
• We successfully launched VYVGART for the treatment of adult patients with gMG, who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive, in September 2023.
• We estimate that nearly 1,000 patients were treated from launch through the fourth quarter of 2023.
• VYVGART was added to the NRDL for the treatment of gMG, effective January 1, 2024.
• We estimate that nearly 1,000 new patients were treated in January 2024 alone driven by positive physician and patient reception as well as increased patient access as VYVGART is added to hospital formularies.
• We are expecting more than $70.0 million in VYVGART revenue in 2024.

OPTUNE^®

• $47.0 million in 2023, which was relatively flat compared to $47.3 million in 2022.
• Continued growth in supplemental insurance coverage was offset by the effects of industry-wide anti-corruption efforts.

QINLOCK^®

• $19.2 million in 2023, which increased 29% y-o-y from $15.0 million in 2022.
• Growth was supported by its inclusion in the NRDL in the first quarter of 2023 for the fourth-line treatment of advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), partially offset by sales rebates in connection with the NRDL listing.

NUZYRA^®

• $21.7 million in 2023, which increased by 316% y-o-y from $5.2 million in 2022.
• Growth was driven by the initial inclusion of NUZYRA (IV formulation) for the treatment of adults with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) in the NRDL in the first quarter of 2023.
• The oral formulation of NUZYRA was added to the NRDL for these indications, effective January 1, 2024, which we expect to further increase patient access.

• Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $265.9 million for 2023, compared to $286.4 million for 2022. This decrease was primarily due to decreased upfront and milestone payments for our license and collaboration agreements, partially offset by an increase in personnel compensation and related costs.

• Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $281.6 million for 2023, compared to $259.0 million for 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher general selling expenses related to commercial operations to support the launch of VYVGART, partially offset by a decrease in professional services fees.

• Net loss was $334.6 million for 2023, or a loss per ordinary share attributable to common stockholders of $0.35 (or loss per American Deposit Share (“ADS”) of $3.46), compared to a net loss of $443.3 million for 2022, or a loss per ordinary share of $0.46 (or loss per ADS of $4.63). The decrease in net loss was primarily due to product revenue growing faster than net operating expenses, increased interest income, and decreased foreign currency loss.

• Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash totaled $807.6 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2022.
