Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>RemeGen reported C2H22 top line in-line with our estimate but 9.4% below consensus. Gross margin, however, beat our estimate by 21ppt. Net-net, non-IFRS operating income missed our expectation by 15%; </li>
<li>The result highlighted RemeGen’s investment case hinging on successful license out. Product revenue itself cannot carry the company to profitability; </li>
<li>With WACC of 17%, we have already provisioned for the license out absence. But we still cut TP by HK$6 to reflect the increasing spending going forward.</li>
