CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG) : New Drug for Renal Anaemia Desidustat Tablets Approved in China

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Mar 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS”, or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that on 13 March 2026, new drug for renal anaemia Desidustat Tablets (the “Product”) has been approved for marketing in China by the National Medical Products Administration of the People’s Republic of China (NMPA). The Product is a novel, oral HypoxiaInducible Factor-Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitor (HIF-PHI) for treating anaemia in non-dialysis adult, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients.The approval of Desidustat Tablets will further strengthen the Group’s overall layout in the field of nephrology, and synergize with the marketed innovative drug Velphoro (Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablets, indicated for CKD hyperphosphatemia). Through the efficient linkage of nephrology expert resources and channel networks, the Group is expected to rapidly promote the large-scale clinical application of Desidustat Tablets, providing differentiated treatment options for Chinese CKD patients with renal anaemia and making a positive contribution to the Group’s performance.More information about Desidustat Tablets and Renal AnaemiaAs a novel oral HIF-PHI, the Product’s mechanism of action promotes erythropoiesis through increasing endogenous erythropoietin, improving iron availability and reducing hepcidin. Its China Phase III clinical trial has demonstrated positive results. The primary endpoint of the haemoglobin (Hb) mean change from baseline to Week 7-9 has indicated that, Desidustat is more effective than placebo in increasing Hb level. Results from the extension study demonstrate that the Product can maintain Hb level within the target range over the long term with acceptable safety. In addition, the Product significantly reduces hepcidin levels and ameliorates iron metabolism disorders.There is still a large unmet need in the treatment of anaemia in CKD patients in China. It is estimated that there are more than 120 million CKD patients in China[1]. Anaemia is one of the frequent complications of CKD, which exhibits a progressively increasing incidence with disease progression. A survey in China showed that the prevalences of anaemia in patients at CKD stage 1 to 5 were 22.0%, 37.0%, 45.4%, 85.1%, and 98.2%, respectively[2]. The target-achieving rate (the Hb level reaching the target value (110~120g / L)) has increased to 51.5% for haemodialysis CKD patients with anaemia[3], but is still only 8.2% for anaemia patients in non-dialysis CKD[4]. The Product is administrated orally, thus expecting to improve the treatment compliance of patients and to meet the unmet treatment needs in the field of CKD anaemia.Desidustat Tablets have been approved for marketing in India.CMS INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT LIMITED, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, obtained an exclusive license for the Product from Zydus Lifesciences Limited (earlier known as Cadila Healthcare Limited) pursuant to a License Agreement with an effective date of 20 January 2020.The Group adheres to its core strategy of “innovation-driven”, having established a tiered and multi-dimensional innovation product portfolio with abundant reserves: 7 new drugs have been approved for marketing, 6 are currently under marketing review, and nearly 20 projects are about to initiate or are progressing through clinical trials.

CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG): Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream (Lumirix(R)) Achieves Initial Prescriptions in Multiple Regions in China for Patients with Vitiligo SeaPRwire

CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG): Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream (Lumirix(R)) Achieves Initial Prescriptions in Multiple Regions in China for Patients with Vitiligo

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Mar 13, 2026 – (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On 12 March 2026, China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health, which is applying for a separate listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) has its innovative prescription medicine ruxolitinib phosphate cream (Lumirix®) (the “Product”, marketed as Opzelura® in the U.S., Europe and Canada) recorded the initial prescriptions for vitiligo patients across 30 provincial-level regions. The prescriptions cover approximately a thousand influential public and private medical institutions in the field of skin health and disease management, including Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital, Dermatology Hospital of Southern Medical University, Second People’s Hospital of Chengdu, The First Bethune Hospital of Jilin University, The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, United Family Healthcare Group, among others*. Meanwhile, the Product has become concurrently accessible via over 1,300 offline drugstores as well as JD.com e-commerce platform. *Hospital rankings are listed in no particular order. As the first topical JAK inhibitor approved in China for the treatment of vitiligo, ruxolitinib phosphate cream has officially launched its large-scale clinical application today, marking a breakthrough in China’s vitiligo treatment landscape and ushering in a new era of precision targeted therapy for vitiligo. Supported by safety and efficacy fully demonstrated in clinical studies, the Product is expected to bring new hope for repigmentation to millions of vitiligo patients. The rapid commercialization progress of ruxolitinib phosphate cream underscores strong product operation capabilities of CMS (including Dermavon), while also reflecting the robust supports from China’s regulatory reforms in accelerating patient access to clinically urgently needed innovative drugs. Benefiting from the integrated healthcare ecosystem of the Hainan Free Trade Port and the “Urgently Needed Imported Drugs for Clinical Use” policy, the Product initiated pilot clinical use in August 2023 at Boao Super Hospital within the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone. Pilot usage subsequently expanded to designated medical institutions across the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, Beijing-Tianjin region and other regions. In accordance with the relevant regulations of China’s real-world data application pilot project, as well as supported by the Hainan Provincial Medical Products Administration and the Administration of the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, the Product has accumulated real-world clinical data in China under pilot application, significantly accelerating its clinical, registration and approval timelines. The Product received its Drug Registration Certificate on January 30, 2026 (approval date: January 27, 2026). Following its approval, in less than 1.5 months (including the Chinese New Year holiday), the initial prescriptions for ruxolitinib phosphate cream have been issued across multiple regions and hospitals, reflecting the highly efficient collaboration and concerted efforts among CMS teams, regulatory authorities and business partners. With robust support from the cross-departmental coordination mechanism of the Beijing Daxing Airport Economic Zone Joint Administrative Committee, once import conditions were met, the Product completed customs clearance approval, sampling and related customs procedures within 24 hours, and obtained the drug testing report within 7 working days, representing efficient execution and acceleration for the innovative drugs in China. During this process, the Beijing Municipal Medical Products Administration proactively provided end-to-end policy guidance; the government service center has efficiently completed customs clearance filing; the Beijing Institute for Drug Control has conducted methodological pre-testing to accelerate timelines for innovative drug, and continuous worked during the Chinese Spring Festival; and Daxing Airport Customs provided specialized pre-guidance on declaration and swiftly completed customs review and release. Through parallel workflows and coordinated execution, all parties collectively pressed the “fast-forward button” for the Product’s commercialization, helping this urgently needed innovative therapy reach patients faster. As the Product enters the large-scale clinical application stage, it is expected to further strengthen Dermavon’s comprehensive dermatology solutions and brand value. Building on its leadership in skin health, Dermavon will continue to improve accessibility of ruxolitinib phosphate cream to benefit more vitiligo patients and steadfastly safeguard public skin health through innovation. About Vitiligo Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. The discolored areas usually get bigger with time and the condition could influence skin on any part of the patients’ body. Vitiligo usually affects the appearance of patients, especially on exposed areas such as the face and neck. According to a study that involved over 1,000 diagnosed vitiligo patients, over 45% of patients have facial involvement, and over 20% of patients have neck involvement[1].The obvious presence of white patches may make patients feel that their appearance has been compromised, which in turn materially affects their social life, and is associated with a significantly higher incidence of mental health disorders; accordingly, there is an urgent need for effective treatment options for vitiligo[2]. It is estimated that there are approximately 10.3 million vitiligo patients in China and non-segmental vitiligo patients account for approximately 8.2 million[1]. Existing therapies, such as topical corticosteroids (TCS) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs), have clinical limitations, with adverse reactions or limited efficacy with long-term use. Ruxolitinib phosphate cream successfully fills the gap in targeted drug treatment for vitiligo and is of great landmark significance. More Information About Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream Ruxolitinib phosphate cream (Opzelura®), a novel cream formulation of the selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib developed by Incyte, is the first and only drug approved for the repigmentation of non-segmental vitiligo by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA)[3,4]. In the U.S., the Product is indicated for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older, and for the short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in non-immunocompromised adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older whose disease is not well controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable. In Europe, ruxolitinib phosphate cream is approved for the topical treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age. In China, besides vitiligo indication, the product’s NDA for the treatment of mild-to-moderate AD in adults and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older is also under regulatory review, which has been included in the Priority Review List and is expected to accelerate the Product’s AD review process for marketing approval. The Group, through the subsidiary of Dermavon entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Incyte for ruxolitinib phosphate cream on 2 December 2022, obtaining an exclusive license to develop, register and commercialize the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries (the “Territory”) and a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Product in the Territory. The subsidiary of Dermavon has sublicensed the relevant rights for the Product outside of Mainland China to the Group (excluding Dermavon and its subsidiary). Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (excluding territories in which exclusive rights have already been licensed), marketed in the United States and Europe as Opzelura®. Opzelura® and the Opzelura® logo are registered trademarks of Incyte.

CITIC Resources Deepens Dual-Engine Strategy of ‘Investment + Trading’, Continues to Promote High-Quality Development ACN Newswire

CITIC Resources Deepens Dual-Engine Strategy of ‘Investment + Trading’, Continues to Promote High-Quality Development

HONG KONG, Mar 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – CITIC Resources Holdings Limited (hereinafter referred to as CITIC Resources or the Company, or the Group when its subsidiaries are included; Stock Code: 1205.HK) has announced its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”). During the Year, the Group actively responded to the complex international environment and cyclical industry pressures. Systematically advancing initiatives in “upstream asset deployment, expansion of trading business, and enhancement of production and operations”, the Group deepened its dual-engine development model of “investment + trading”, stabilised its core operations, cultivated a second growth curve, and demonstrated robust operational and developmental resilience.As a key growth driver for the Group, the oil and gas trading business within the import and export segment expanded steadily during the Year, achieving a significant milestone with a trading volume exceeding 20.0 million barrels and revenue reaching approximately HK$11.34 billion. Meanwhile, the Group broke the long-standing monopoly of the sales channel of crude oil, enhancing the market value of its oil and gas properties. In the non-oil-and-gas business, the Group consistently prioritises refined and proactive management of its equity investments as a core task and actively conveyed its philosophy of improving quality and enhancing efficiency to the operators. Notably, the value of shares held in Aloca Corporation (“Aloca”) increased by approximately 46.3% during the Year. On the oil and gas front, focusing on refined reservoir management and continuous scientific research breakthroughs, the Group achieved stable production and increased reserves. It comprehensively deepened lean management throughout the production process, coupled with the implementation of cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancement measures, propelled continuous improvements in management standards and operational efficiency across all phases of oil and gas projects from exploration, development to production.During the Year, the Group achieved revenue of approximately HK$14.96 billion (2024: approximately HK$9.50 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 57.6%. Impacted by factors such as a decline in the average selling price of crude oil and coal, and higher raw material costs, profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company amounted to approximately HK$0.17 billion (2024: HK$0.57 billion). Despite that, all of the Group’s segments recorded profits for the Year and the Group continued to maintain a strong financial position with cash and deposits of approximately HK$3.52 billion as at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: HK$2.03 billion). As at 31 December 2025, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$14.61 billion, and net assets attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$8.79 billion. The gearing ratio and interest-bearing debt ratio were approximately 38.8% and 23.5% respectively, with a return on equity (annualised) of approximately 2.0%.As part of its efforts to optimise its asset structure, the Group disposed of shares in Alcoa in January and March 2026, totalling approximately 2.17% of Alcoa’s total issued shares[1]. By seizing the opportunity to monetise its investment at a high valuation, the Group continues to create greater value for its shareholders.Mr. Hao Weibao, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CITIC Resources, said: “Looking ahead to 2026, the Group will focus on key areas such as the development, production and trading of oil and gas, as well as investments in the aluminum industry chain, deepen synergies among trading, investment and production management, and continue to implement the business strategy of consolidating the existing core business and pursuing dual-engine expansion through ‘investment + trading’.To consolidate our existing principal business, the Group will continue to enhance lean production and operational management to increase reserves and output, while steadily expanding production and sales scale. The Group will also intensify the introduction and application of new processes and technologies, leveraging technological innovation to empower high-quality development of our core businesses and reinforce our core growth foundation.On the dual-engine driver of ‘investment + trading’ expansion front, the Group will continue to track and position in high-quality oil and gas assets and the aluminium-centric key metals industry chain. Trading operations and investment projects will be deeply integrated: the investment arm will secure equity resources, while the trading arm will achieve market-oriented sales. This approach will also enhance our market sensitivity, enabling us to identify and acquire high-quality upstream resources and assets, thereby creating a virtuous cycle in which ‘investment acquires resources and trading converts value’. The Group is committed to implementing these development strategies and will continue to deliver long-term and stable returns to our shareholders.”[1]Details regarding the disposal were disclosed in the announcements and circular dated 16 January, 6 February, and 5 March.For details of CITIC Resources’ 2025 annual results, please refer to the Group’s annual results announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Group’s website.About CITIC Resources Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 1205.HK)CITIC Resources Holdings Limited has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 1997.

CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG): Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream (Lumirix(R)) Achieves Initial Prescriptions in Multiple Regions in China for Patients with Vitiligo ACN Newswire

CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG): Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream (Lumirix(R)) Achieves Initial Prescriptions in Multiple Regions in China for Patients with Vitiligo

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Mar 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On 12 March 2026, China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health, which is applying for a separate listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) has its innovative prescription medicine ruxolitinib phosphate cream (Lumirix®) (the “Product”, marketed as Opzelura® in the U.S., Europe and Canada) recorded the initial prescriptions for vitiligo patients across 30 provincial-level regions. The prescriptions cover approximately a thousand influential public and private medical institutions in the field of skin health and disease management, including Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital, Dermatology Hospital of Southern Medical University, Second People's Hospital of Chengdu, The First Bethune Hospital of Jilin University, The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, United Family Healthcare Group, among others*. Meanwhile, the Product has become concurrently accessible via over 1,300 offline drugstores as well as JD.com e-commerce platform. *Hospital rankings are listed in no particular order.As the first topical JAK inhibitor approved in China for the treatment of vitiligo, ruxolitinib phosphate cream has officially launched its large-scale clinical application today, marking a breakthrough in China’s vitiligo treatment landscape and ushering in a new era of precision targeted therapy for vitiligo. Supported by safety and efficacy fully demonstrated in clinical studies, the Product is expected to bring new hope for repigmentation to millions of vitiligo patients.The rapid commercialization progress of ruxolitinib phosphate cream underscores strong product operation capabilities of CMS (including Dermavon), while also reflecting the robust supports from China’s regulatory reforms in accelerating patient access to clinically urgently needed innovative drugs. Benefiting from the integrated healthcare ecosystem of the Hainan Free Trade Port and the “Urgently Needed Imported Drugs for Clinical Use” policy, the Product initiated pilot clinical use in August 2023 at Boao Super Hospital within the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone. Pilot usage subsequently expanded to designated medical institutions across the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, Beijing-Tianjin region and other regions. In accordance with the relevant regulations of China’s real-world data application pilot project, as well as supported by the Hainan Provincial Medical Products Administration and the Administration of the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, the Product has accumulated real-world clinical data in China under pilot application, significantly accelerating its clinical, registration and approval timelines. The Product received its Drug Registration Certificate on January 30, 2026 (approval date: January 27, 2026).Following its approval, in less than 1.5 months (including the Chinese New Year holiday), the initial prescriptions for ruxolitinib phosphate cream have been issued across multiple regions and hospitals, reflecting the highly efficient collaboration and concerted efforts among CMS teams, regulatory authorities and business partners. With robust support from the cross-departmental coordination mechanism of the Beijing Daxing Airport Economic Zone Joint Administrative Committee, once import conditions were met, the Product completed customs clearance approval, sampling and related customs procedures within 24 hours, and obtained the drug testing report within 7 working days, representing efficient execution and acceleration for the innovative drugs in China. During this process, the Beijing Municipal Medical Products Administration proactively provided end-to-end policy guidance; the government service center has efficiently completed customs clearance filing; the Beijing Institute for Drug Control has conducted methodological pre-testing to accelerate timelines for innovative drug, and continuous worked during the Chinese Spring Festival; and Daxing Airport Customs provided specialized pre-guidance on declaration and swiftly completed customs review and release. Through parallel workflows and coordinated execution, all parties collectively pressed the “fast-forward button” for the Product’s commercialization, helping this urgently needed innovative therapy reach patients faster.As the Product enters the large-scale clinical application stage, it is expected to further strengthen Dermavon’s comprehensive dermatology solutions and brand value. Building on its leadership in skin health, Dermavon will continue to improve accessibility of ruxolitinib phosphate cream to benefit more vitiligo patients and steadfastly safeguard public skin health through innovation.About VitiligoVitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. The discolored areas usually get bigger with time and the condition could influence skin on any part of the patients’ body. Vitiligo usually affects the appearance of patients, especially on exposed areas such as the face and neck. According to a study that involved over 1,000 diagnosed vitiligo patients, over 45% of patients have facial involvement, and over 20% of patients have neck involvement[1].The obvious presence of white patches may make patients feel that their appearance has been compromised, which in turn materially affects their social life, and is associated with a significantly higher incidence of mental health disorders; accordingly, there is an urgent need for effective treatment options for vitiligo[2].It is estimated that there are approximately 10.3 million vitiligo patients in China and non-segmental vitiligo patients account for approximately 8.2 million[1]. Existing therapies, such as topical corticosteroids (TCS) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs), have clinical limitations, with adverse reactions or limited efficacy with long-term use. Ruxolitinib phosphate cream successfully fills the gap in targeted drug treatment for vitiligo and is of great landmark significance.More Information About Ruxolitinib Phosphate CreamRuxolitinib phosphate cream (Opzelura®), a novel cream formulation of the selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib developed by Incyte, is the first and only drug approved for the repigmentation of non-segmental vitiligo by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA)[3,4]. In the U.S., the Product is indicated for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older, and for the short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in non-immunocompromised adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older whose disease is not well controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable. In Europe, ruxolitinib phosphate cream is approved for the topical treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age. In China, besides vitiligo indication, the product’s NDA for the treatment of mild-to-moderate AD in adults and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older is also under regulatory review, which has been included in the Priority Review List and is expected to accelerate the Product’s AD review process for marketing approval.The Group, through the subsidiary of Dermavon entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Incyte for ruxolitinib phosphate cream on 2 December 2022, obtaining an exclusive license to develop, register and commercialize the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries (the “Territory”) and a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Product in the Territory. The subsidiary of Dermavon has sublicensed the relevant rights for the Product outside of Mainland China to the Group (excluding Dermavon and its subsidiary).Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (excluding territories in which exclusive rights have already been licensed), marketed in the United States and Europe as Opzelura®. Opzelura® and the Opzelura® logo are registered trademarks of Incyte.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

深圳, 2026年3月13日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2026年3月12日,康哲药业控股有限公司 ("康哲药业")欣然宣布,旗下德镁医药有限公司("德镁医药",专业聚焦皮肤健康的创新型医药企业,正申请于香港联合交易所有限公司主板独立上市),其创新处方药磷酸芦可替尼乳膏(百卢妥(R))("产品",在美国、欧洲及加拿大以Opzelura(R)的名称销售)在全国30个省级行政区为白癜风患者开出首批处方,覆盖包括复旦大学附属华山医院、上海市皮肤病医院、南方医科大学皮肤病医院、成都市第二人民医院、吉林大学白求恩第一医院、中南大学湘雅二医院、和睦家医疗集团等千家在皮肤健康及疾病管理领域具有影响力的公立及私立医疗机构*,并实现超1,300家线下药店以及京东电商平台同步可及。*医院排名不分先后磷酸芦可替尼乳膏为中国批准的首款用于白癜风治疗的外用JAK抑制剂,今日正式拉开产品规模化临床应用的序幕,标志着我国白癜风治疗领域实现突破性进展,迈入精准靶向治疗的全新时代,产品将以经过临床充分验证的安全和有效性,点亮千万白癜风患者复色希望。磷酸芦可替尼乳膏的跨越式商业化进程,不仅彰显了康哲药业卓越的产品运营能力,更充分体现了国家药政改革对临床亟需创新药加速可及的有力支持。受益于海南自贸港医疗健康产业整合性优势,以及 "临床急需进口" 政策,2023年8月,产品率先在海南博鳌乐城国际医疗旅游先行区博鳌超级医院启动临床应用,随后试点应用逐步扩展至粤港澳大湾区、京津等区域指定医疗机构。在我国药品真实世界数据应用试点有关程序,以及海南省药品监督管理局与海南博鳌乐城国际医疗旅游先行区管理局的支持下,产品通过"先行先试"临床应用积累中国真实环境的诊疗数据,大大提速产品临床、注册和获批上市进程,并成功于2026年1月30日取得《药品注册证书》(批准日期2026年1月27日)。获批以来,仅耗时不到1.5个月(含春节假期),磷酸芦可替尼乳膏便实现全国多地、多医院首批处方集中落地,这亦是康哲药业各部门、相关监管部门及合作伙伴高效联动、共同努力的成果。在北京大兴临空区联合管委会跨部门合作机制的有力保障下,产品具备进口条件后24小时内即完成了药品通关审批、药品抽样及海关程序,并于7个工作日内取得药品检验报告,全程跑出了高效务实的"中国创新药加速度"。在此过程中,北京市药监局主动开展商业规模批次政策的全流程指导,政务中心高效完成通关备案;北京市药品检验研究院则通过前置方法学预检验、开辟创新药专项通道,并在春节期间持续作业,全力确保检验进度高效推进;大兴机场海关则提前对药品申报要素进行专项指导,快速完成报关审核和药品放行工作。各方协同、流程并联,合力为磷酸芦可替尼乳膏上市按下"快进键",助力该临床急需创新药惠及广大患者。随着产品进入规模化临床应用阶段,将进一步强化德镁医药皮肤疾病综合解决方案及品牌价值。德镁医药依托在皮肤健康领域的领先地位,将持续推进磷酸芦可替尼乳膏使更多白癜风患者获益,以创新之力坚定守护民众皮肤健康。关于白癜风白癜风是一种慢性自身免疫性疾病,其特征是皮肤色素脱失,其发病原因为产生色素的细胞即黑素细胞的缺失。脱色区域通常会随着时间的推移而扩大,且该病症可能影响患者身体任何部位的皮肤,影响患者的容貌,尤其是面部、颈部等显眼部位。根据一项对1,000多名已确诊白癜风患者进行的研究,超过45%的患者面部受累,超过20%的患者颈部受累[1]。白色斑块的明显存在可能会让患者认为自身的形象受到损害,进而严重影响其社会活动,精神疾病发病率显著增加,因此白癜风的治疗需求非常迫切[2]。据估算,中国约有1,030万人患有白癜风,其中约820万人患有非节段型白癜风[1]。现有疗法,如外用糖皮质激素(TCS)及外用钙调神经磷酸酶抑制剂(TCIs)存在临床缺陷,长期用药有不良反应或疗效有限。磷酸芦可替尼乳膏成功填补了白癜风靶向药物治疗的空白,具有重大标志性意义。关于磷酸芦可替尼乳膏的更多信息磷酸芦可替尼乳膏(Opzelura(R))是Incyte开发的选择性JAK1/JAK2抑制剂芦可替尼制成的一种创新型乳膏,是经美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)及欧洲药品管理局(EMA)批准的首款也是唯一一款用于非节段型白癜风复色的药物[3,4]。在美国,产品获批用于局部治疗成人及12岁及以上儿童患者的非节段型白癜风;及其他外用药控制不佳或不建议使用时,非免疫功能受损的2岁及以上儿童和成人轻中度特应性皮炎的局部短期和非持续性慢性治疗。在欧洲,磷酸芦可替尼乳膏被批准用于局部治疗成人及12岁及以上青少年伴面部受累的非节段型白癜风。在中国,除白癜风适应症外,产品2岁及以上儿童和成人轻中度特应性皮炎(AD)适应症亦处于NDA审评阶段, 且该项NDA已获纳入优先审评品种名单,有望加快产品AD适应症上市审评进程。康哲药业于2022年12月2日,通过德镁医药的附属公司与Incyte就磷酸芦可替尼乳膏订立合作和许可协议("许可协议"),获得在中国大陆、香港特别行政区、澳门特别行政区、台湾地区及东南亚十一国("区域")研发、注册及商业化产品的独家许可权利,以及在区域内生产产品的非独家许可权利。德镁医药的附属公司已将磷酸芦可替尼乳膏除中国大陆外的其他区域的相关权利再许可予康哲药业(不包括德镁医药及其附属公司)。Incyte拥有磷酸芦可替尼乳膏全球开发和商业化权利(已独占许可区域除外),在美国及欧洲以Opzelura(R)的名称销售。Opzelura(R)和Opzelura(R)标识是Incyte的注册商标。关于康哲药业康哲药业是一家链接医药创新与商业化,把控产品全生命周期管理的开放式平台型企业,致力于提供有竞争力的产品和服务,满足尚未满足的医疗需求。康哲药业专注于全球首创(FIC)及同类最优(BIC)的创新产品,并高效推进创新产品临床研究开发和商业化进程,赋能科研成果向诊疗实践的持续转化,造福患者。康哲药业聚焦专科领域,拥有被验证的商业化能力,广泛的渠道覆盖和多疾病领域专家资源,核心在售产品已获领先的学术与市场地位。康哲药业围绕优势专科领域不断纵深发展,以巩固心肾代谢/消化/眼科/皮肤健康业务竞争力,带来专科规模效率,其中皮肤健康业务(德镁医药)已成为其细分领域的龙头企业,并拟于联交所独立上市。同时,康哲药业持续推动研产销全产业链在东南亚及中东区域运营发展,以获取新兴市场的增量,助力集团实现高质量可持续发展。参考文献/资料1.数据来自灼识咨询报告2.Wang G, Qiu D, Yang H, Liu W.

Guoquan Achieves Simultaneous Growth in Scale and Profitability, Core Operating Profit Increases by 48.2% in 2025

HONG KONG, Mar 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – 12 March 2026, Guoquan Food (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("Guoquan" or the "Company"; stock code: 2517.HK), a leading one-stop home meal products brand in China, announced its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025, which have been reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board.Adhering to the strategic positioning of "community central kitchen" in 2025, the Company successfully established a holistic instant retail store network through a multi-channel, multi-scenario omni-channel layout and the deep integration of online and offline operating models. The Company continuously delved into consumers' demand, developed and iterated a diverse suite of product portfolios, deepened refined store operation and management, and strengthened the construction of a membership ecosystem, effectively enhancing store operational efficiency and market competitiveness. Concurrently, the Company continued to deepen its industrial layout and promote the integrated closed-loop construction of "production, supply and marketing", achieving stable development throughout the year.For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company's revenue amounted to RMB7,810.0 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 20.7%. Gross profit reached RMB1,686.6 million, a year-on-year increase of 19.0%. Net profit was RMB453.9 million, a significant year-on-year increase of 88.2%. Core operating profit (adjusted for non-recurring items such as gains or losses on fair value changes on unlisted convertible redeemable preferred shares and donations for fire rescue in Tai Po, Hong Kong) was RMB460.7 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 48.2%. Basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB0.1630, a substantial year-on-year increase of 93.8%.Continuously Strengthening Omni-channel Instant Retail: Offline Expansion and Online Engagement Drive GrowthAs of 31 December 2025, the Company's total number of stores nationwide reached 11,566, a net increase of 1,416 stores from 10,150 as at the end of 2024, covering 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. In terms of regional store layout, the Company achieved a net increase of 1,004 township-level stores in 2025. Addressing the consumption characteristics and needs of township markets, the Company developed differentiated product structures and store displays, accurately aligning with consumer demands in lower-tier markets and further enhancing township market penetration. Concurrently, the Company continued to deploy smart retail scenarios in mid-to-high-tier markets, completing the intelligent and unmanned transformation and upgrade of over 3,000 retail stores in 2025, achieving synergistic development between lower-tier and mid-to-high-tier markets.To empower franchisees, facilitate their sales growth, and further expand consumer reach while offering a more flexible shopping experience, the Company continuously provides support and guidance to franchisees in core areas such as store operations and business development. Leveraging the Company's Guoquan APP, WeChat mini-program, third-party food delivery platforms and social commerce platforms (such as Douyin), a multi-level online sales network has been established. In 2025, the Company achieved over 9.41 billion impressions on platforms through its multi-level Douyin accounts matrix. Stores generated GMV of RMB1.49 billion via the Douyin channel, representing a year-on-year increase of 75.3%.Membership Ecosystem Continuously Improved; Product Portfolio Enhances in Scenarization and RichnessIn 2025, the operation of the Guoquan membership program yielded significant results, further releasing the value of the membership ecosystem. During the Reporting Period, the number of the Company's registered members reached approximately 64.9 million, a year-on-year increase of 57.1%, demonstrating rapid expansion of the membership base. The prepaid card business also achieved stable growth, with the value stored in prepaid cards amounting to approximately RMB1.2 billion during the Reporting Period, a year-on-year increase of 22.3%. This indicates continuously improving member stickiness and consumption contribution, forging a closer connection with consumers.Relying on its substantial membership base, the Company persistently pursues innovation in its product offerings, consistently upholding the business philosophy of providing consumers with "tasty, convenient and value-for-money" products. It continuously enriches its product portfolio and iterates new products to comprehensively meet consumers' diverse dining needs. As of 31 December 2025, the Company had introduced 282 new SKUs of hot pot and barbecue products. It created multiple scenarized meal suites such as the "Barbecue Camping Container Set", "Crayfish Feast Set", and "Six Popular Hot Pot Sets", achieving deep integration of products and consumption scenarios. Furthermore, the Company expanded its product categories within the drinks and beverage consumption scenario, launching products such as NFC fruit juices, craft beer, and flavored tea beverages. This continuously enhances the richness and diversification of the product matrix, further perfecting the one-stop meal products supply system.Deepening Industrial Layout; Strengthening Digitalized Supply Chain ControlGuoquan continues to promote the integrated closed-loop construction of "production, supply and marketing". Adopting a "one-product-one-factory" strategy, it further deepens the breadth and depth of its industrial layout, providing solid production capacity support for business development. As of 31 December 2025, the Company possessed seven food ingredient production plants, covering core categories such as condiments, meatballs, paste and aquatic products, and beef products, forming a comprehensive and well-defined production capacity matrix. Concurrently, the construction of the Company's food production base in Danzhou, Hainan Province, officially commenced. This base will further expand its geographical coverage, optimize the supply chain's radiation radius, and strengthen the national production capacity layout and logistics reach.This solid industrial foundation continuously improves the operational efficiency of the digitalized supply chain. Based on the supply chain system operating from factory to central warehouse and to retail stores, the Company can monitor supply and demand dynamics from the procurement end to the store end, and closely manage inventory levels, thereby achieving efficient management of the entire supply chain. As of 31 December 2025, the Company had deployed 20 digitalized central warehouses across China, achieving swift product circulation through digital stock and barcode management. Simultaneously, the digitalization of the supply chain covering core segments such as production, procurement, warehousing, and logistics allows for precise monitoring of supply-demand dynamics and inventory levels, ensuring the timely supply of products to stores in the Chinese mainland. This comprehensively enhances the overall operational efficiency of the supply chain, solidifying core barriers in cost control and quality assurance.Six Core Strategic Directions: Continuously Advancing Business UpgradesIn 2026, Guoquan targets that the total number of stores will exceed 14,500, representing a net increase of over 2,934 stores, with an estimated store closure rate of less than 4%. It targets high-single-digit growth in store efficiency, and the number of registered members is targeted to exceed 95 million. The Company targets that the growth rate of core operating profit will be significantly higher than that of its revenue.First, Fully expand the sales network with four stores jointly advancing with concerted efforts. Guoquan will continue to build a multi-level sales network, accelerate the expansion of large stores in townships, practice the philosophy of "food equality", and precisely meet the consumption needs of residents in county and township markets. Concurrently, it will explore innovative store formats and upgrade the franchisee management system to build a symbiotic and mutually beneficial franchise ecosystem.Second, Deepen the strategy of community central kitchen to expand community consumption scenarios. The Company will focus on creating food retail solutions for "four meals a day", continuously diversifying its product categories and building a more competitive product matrix to achieve organic sales growth while further consolidating its advantages in lower-tier market layout.Third, Deepen membership operation and IP to advance the community brand project. The Company will continue to advance refined membership operation, deeply integrate media resources such as popular TV commercials, offline community advertising and social media and e-commerce platforms (such as Douyin) to expand its membership base, and improve the membership rights system to enhance member loyalty and stickiness. Furthermore, it will further deepen the operation of its brand IP image "Guobao" to strengthen brand value and emotional resonance with consumers.Fourth, AI big data empower stores to innovate smart retail scenarios. By integrating Internet of Things, big data, and AI technology, the Company will drive the smart operation of stores with data. It will promote the in-depth integration of the Guoquan stir-fry business format with smart cooking machines, accurately analyze consumers' dining habits, optimize dish parameters and cooking procedures for smart cooking machines, realize the standardized production of stir-fry dishes, and optimize the consumer experience.Fifth, Continue to promote the industrial layout and strengthen the advantage of one-product-one-factory. Adhering to the "one-product-one-factory" strategy, Guoquan will further integrate upstream resources domestically and internationally, accelerate the construction of the food production base in Danzhou, Hainan Province, increase R&D investment, and launch more product portfolios with a high quality-price ratio.Sixth, Develop overseas markets in phases to deliver the good taste of China.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to Introduce 10MW-Class Centrifugal Chiller for Next-Generation AI Data Centers in North America

TOKYO, Mar 13, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) today announced its strategic intent to work toward the introduction of a 10-megawatt (MW) class centrifugal chiller for next-generation AI data centers in the North American market, targeting industrial-grade AI computing infrastructure. The company plans to obtain U.S. safety and regulatory certification, including UL, potentially as early as 2026, with commercial availability targeted thereafter.As demand for large-scale AI computing accelerates globally, data center operators are increasingly prioritizing proven reliability, energy efficiency, and water sustainability over experimental technologies. Leveraging decades of industrial experience, MHI is positioning its centrifugal chiller solution as a potential standardized cooling platform for gigawatt-class AI data centers, where operational track record is a critical decision factor.Proven Industrial Leadership Delivering Outstanding Energy and Water EfficiencyMHI's centrifugal chillers are backed by an extensive track record across industrial and mission-critical applications, supported by a leading approximately 60% domestic market share in Japan(*1). This proven performance base provides a strong foundation for data center operators seeking dependable cooling infrastructure for continuous, high load operation.Key features of the solution include:High efficiency centrifugal chiller design utilizing an in-house developed compressor, optimized through a single-compressor configuration to achieve superior part-load and full-load performance.Integrated plant-level control using MHI's proprietary Control System and self-designed Modular Chiller Plant (MCP) architecture, enabling effective utilization of free-cooling operation modes and improved Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).Low-water-consumption cooling configurations using dry coolers to address growing concerns around water scarcity and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) in large-scale data centers.A system design philosophy that emphasizes operational stability, repeatability, and long-term efficiency, rather than reliance on unproven technologies.Together, these features are expected to facilitate both energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, while maintaining the robustness required for AI workloads operating at unprecedented scale.Designed for Emerging AI Data Center ArchitecturesThe newly announced 10MW-class chiller is optimally designed with the objective of aligning with emerging reference architectures for large-scale AI computing facilities, which demand higher cooling capacity, increased redundancy, and standardized deployment models.By addressing the cooling requirements of gigawatt-class AI data centers, MHI's solution aims to support the evolution of data centers from traditional IT facilities into fully integrated AI data centers, where cooling infrastructure plays a direct role in enabling computing performance, uptime, and total cost optimization.Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group is dedicated to delivering more sustainable and reliable solutions to data centers by combining decarbonized power generation, reliable power distribution, high efficiency cooling systems and Integrated Digital Solutions. We seek to empower our customers through the complete lifecycle from design phase to post deployment with actionable insights, solutions and services. This initiative represents a key step in MHI's broader global strategy to expand its data center cooling portfolio, with a strong focus on high-density AI workloads, sustainability, and industrial-grade reliability.(*1) This represents MHI Group's share of the centrifugal chiller market in Japan.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

R&D expenses rose significantly by 75% year-on-year, laying a solid technological foundation for the Company’s development. By building a unified AI technology middle platform and a modular capability system, the Group achieved improvements in both R&D efficiency and technology reusability.Its self-developed AI-OMNI multimodal neural integrated collaboration engine achieved key breakthroughs in perception, decision-making, and execution, becoming the core technological support for the Group’s product innovation. Leveraging these technological advantages, Qunabox Group systematically launched and upgraded a series of AI-powered interactive marketing products, including AI digital human shopping assistants, AI holographic marketing cabinets, an AIGC middle platform and resource library, AI Agent workstations, and AI data and strategy analytics solutions. These innovations provide reliable support for implementation across multiple businesses and scenarios, directly driving high-quality revenue growth.Business Synergy Fueling Expansion, Global Layout Unlocking New Growth PotentialBy business segment, the marketing services segment, the Group’s core business, recorded a year-on-year revenue increase of 27.8% in 2025 to reach RMB1.402 billion. Among them, the high-margin value-added marketing services delivered a standout performance, with revenue hitting RMB236 million, a year-on-year surge of 32.9%. Its revenue share continued to rise, driving the optimization of the overall revenue quality and gross margin structure. In 2025, the gross profit of this segment amounted to RMB875 million, up 28.8% year on year.As the strategic practice platform for the Group's "AI experiential consumption" initiative, the merchandise sales segment achieved continuous improvements in the commercial conversion efficiency of AI interactive terminals. This was accomplished through expanding the terminal network in high-potential cities such as Hangzhou, Chengdu and Ningbo, optimizing the product portfolio toward higher-margin items, and replacing traditional price promotions with intelligent interactive marketing. The segment has developed strong synergies with the core marketing services and become an important scenario for the commercial application of cutting-edge technologies. In 2025, revenue from the merchandise sales segment of Qunabox Group increased by 5.2% year on year to RMB194 million, while gross profit rose by 12.7% year on year to RMB49 million.The layout of lifestyle and innovative businesses has unlocked a new dimension of global growth for Qunabox Group. In 2025, focusing on "AI + Lifestyle", the Group expanded into the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Australia simultaneously. An overseas business department was established to oversee the full implementation of global operations, and strategic cooperation has been reached with key local partners in Dubai. Currently, Qunabox Group has completed the preliminary preparations for its AI-powered indoor entertainment spaces and obtained operating licenses in Dubai and Singapore. The establishment of overseas teams, product localization and refinement, as well as the integration of software and hardware systems are advancing steadily. The Group has also completed the validation of localized AI models, ensuring that its AI-driven interactive experiences can be accurately adapted to multilingual and cross-cultural scenarios. This lays a solid foundation for the scalable expansion of its overseas business, which is expected to become the Company’s second growth curve for performance.Expanding Customer Base: A New Journey for AI + Consumption ScenariosLeveraging its innovative and efficient business model and outstanding service capabilities, Qunabox Group has maintained sound and stable partnerships with brand clients. Additionally, the Company has expanded the application scenarios of its services, enriched and optimized its AI-driven interactive marketing products, developed data strategy solutions, and refined its marketing product portfolio and service model. As a result, the Company has continuously expanded its industry influence, deepened cooperation with high-quality clients, and steadily grown its premium client base, with both the number of brand clients and key accounts on the rise. In 2025, the total number of brand clients served by Qunabox Group increased to 332 for the full year, including 58 key accounts. The average revenue per key account grew by 15% year on year, reflecting a continuous rise in client value and further consolidating the foundation for the Company’s sustained performance growth.Supported by strong performance, Qunabox Group maintained a sound financial position and ample cash flow throughout the year. As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s cash and bank balances amounted to RMB1.506 billion, providing strong support for subsequent investments in technology, business expansion and global deployment.In summary, Qunabox Group’s outstanding performance in 2025 is the inevitable result of its years of deep engagement in AI technologies and its steadfast implementation of the “AI + Consumption Scenarios” strategy. The turnaround from loss to profit further demonstrates the sustainability of its business model and the growth potential of its profitability.Looking ahead, as the integration of artificial intelligence with physical consumption scenarios continues to deepen, a window of opportunity has emerged for the large-scale deployment of AI applications. With technology at its core and scenarios as its foundation, Qunabox Group is building a cross-regional, end-to-end AI lifestyle platform. Amid the accelerated cultivation of new quality productive forces, the Company, leveraging its technological barriers, scenario advantages and global vision, is well positioned to continue leading the industry transformation in the integration of AI and consumption and to achieve long-term sustainable development of its own.

深度受益AI落地浪潮 中信证券首次覆盖 予迅策科技(03317)目标价160港元

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 2026-03-13 / 09:20 UTC+8 3月12日,中信证券发布迅策科技(03317)首次覆盖研报,给予公司“增持”评级,目标价160港元,较当前股价具备13%的上行空间。研报指出,迅策科技作为国内领先的实时数据基础设施供应商,正逐步从资管行业向多行业渗透,有望成长为“中国版Palantir”,深度受益于AI落地带来的数据基础设施需求增长。 迅策科技成立于2016年,专注于AI实时数据基础设施及分析平台,2025年12月底登陆港交所。公司以实时数据基础设施为核心业务,通过模块化架构实现灵活扩展,截至2025年上半年已开发超过330个功能模块,覆盖数据采集、治理、分析到AI应用落地全流程。客户范围从保险公司、银行资管、券商等金融机构,延伸至城市管理、制造、电信等多元领域,三大国有电信运营商均已覆盖。 近期全球开源AI Agent项目OpenClaw引发广泛关注,推动AI Agent赛道成为产业焦点。OpenClaw的火爆标志着AI Agent正从“对话式交互”向“任务式执行”范式跃迁。随着OpenClaw等AI工具深入企业级应用,基础数据治理正成为AI落地的关键支撑。代理式人工智能对数据安全与质量非但没有降低,反而显著提高了数据治理、实时性和安全性的门槛。这正是公司价值所在:为AI时代的自主决策,构筑最坚实、最可信的数据底座。 中信证券指出,迅策科技2022-2024年营收持续增长,分别为2.88亿元、5.30亿元(同比增长84.3%)和6.32亿元(同比增长19.1%)。预计在客户规模和ARPU双重驱动下,2025-2027年公司营收将达12.8亿、23.3亿和34.5亿元,同比增速分别为103%、82%和48%。公司预计将于2026年实现盈利,净利润有望达2.72亿元,并于2027年进一步提升至8.41亿元。 中信证券将迅策科技与国际AI数据平台Palantir对标,认为两者在产品架构及商业模式上具有相似性。Palantir近年营收CAGR达32.9%,B端客户三年增长三倍,充分印证了AI数据平台的商业化潜力。迅策科技亦在加速全球化布局,已开始服务海外基金、QDII等场景,后续有望拓展新加坡、日本等市场。 2026-03-13 此财经新闻稿由EQS via SeaPRwire.com转载。本公告内容由发行人全权负责。原文链接: http://www.todayir.com/sc/index.php
