Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>HUTCHMED will receive a US$20 million milestone payment from its partner Takeda. In our view, peak sales of fruquintinib is expected to reach about US$700 million in overseas markets.</li>
<li>After the Head of AstraZeneca China has been detained by authorities, AstraZeneca's future commercialization would be affected, which will have a negative impact on savolitinib and HUTCHMED in short term.</li>
<li>Reasonable market value of HUTCHMED based on the three major products is about US$2.7-3.3 billion assuming P/S of 4. If market value is below US$2.5 billion, HUTCHMED is undervalued.</li>

Shanghai Henlius Biotech  / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>For Fosun, every major capital operation is the result of careful consideration after a long time. If it is a deal that Mr. Guo fully supports, there’s basically no problem.</li>
<li>For the privatization, the board of directors of Henlius has no special opposition. We think that this privatization would have no impact on the operation of Henlius in the future,</li>
<li>As the phenomenon of undervaluation of Henlius is difficult to fundamentally change, the Cancellation Price is attractive for most investors. There’re risks if choosing Share Alternative. Cash Alternative is preferred. </li>

Shanghai Henlius Biotech (2696 HK) - Some Thoughts About the Privatization

<ul>
<li>Fruquintinib US sales continue to be the main performance driver. License-out expectations for surufatinib is low.Highlight for savolitinib is the combination with osimertinib for NSCLC, which would bring high growth.</li>
<li>Future playbook of HUTCHMED is “continued sharp reduction of expenses + milestones from Takeda based on fruquintinib overseas sales = rapid narrowng of losses”.2024 overseas market sales may exceed US$300m.</li>
<li>There is not much problem with HUTCHMED completing its performance guidance for the year 2024. Reasonable market value range for HUTCHMED is US$1.75-3.75 billion. Breakeven is expected in 2025.</li>
