Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>RemeGen’s 23H1 results were unsatisfactory. We also have concerns about its future sales performance. The core reason behind is the disorganized pipeline layout, leading to inefficient sales system/high cost.</li>
<li>RemeGen's core technologies are mostly in-licensed from third parties. At first, RemeGen just hoped to develop drugs/build pipeline through these technologies, without considering the potential challenges of commercialization ahead.</li>
<li>The anti-corruption campaign could negatively affected RemeGen's 23H2 performance. The Company could fail to meet management's guidance for 2023. We lowered our valuation of RemeGen to RMB12 billion-18 billion.</li>

<li>Novartis' return of PD-1 to BeiGene may actually have nothing to do with TIGIT project. Long-term strategic adjustment and decreasing value of tislelizumab to Novartis could be the core reasons.</li>
<li>Abandoning PD-1 is a simple decision for Novartis, but not for BeiGene, who will do its best to promote FDA approval for tislelizumab, aiming to expand internationalization and stabilize valuation.</li>
<li>We advise investors not to focus too much on whether or not tislelizumab will eventually get FDA approval,because the actual peak sales tislelizumab can contribute to BeiGene could be disappointing.</li>
