New products exhibited strong growth with increasing profitability

During the reporting period, the Company achieved rapid growth in sales of insulin products. In particular, the sales of insulin analogs increased by more than 200% YoY. Among these products, insulin glargine is still in its early rollout stage and has been approved for use in more than 3,800 secondary and above hospitals across China. Since it was approved for marketing in October 2021, insulin aspart has been quickly adopted by hospitals nationwide and has started to contribute to sales revenue. In addition, the Company has seen steady growth in revenue from human insulin products and further expansion of market share.

During the reporting period, the Company launched three Class 1 novel drugs for diabetes and two Class 1 novel drugs for gout/hyperuricemia.
