Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>HUTCHMED has been a company that is easily overlooked by investors. However, its BD capabilities have been verified after the deal with Takeda, and its commercialization performance is also commendable.</li>
<li>Based on our forecast, total oncology/immunology consolidated revenue in 2023 could reach about US$220 million. If product sales growth remains benign, together with good cost control on R&amp;D/SG&amp;A, eventual breakeven is reachable.</li>
<li>However, based on the current development trend, HUTCHMED could have to remain at the stage of a biotech, and is difficult to become a biopharma. Investors should be aware of this.</li>
