Yungjin Pharmaceutical Co (003520 KS) earns 15% of total revenue from exports. The company mainly exports antibiotic product cephalosporins to Japan.
Yungjin’s export income declined 47% y/y in 2021 due to COVID. With Japan’s policy of reducing the usage of antibiotics, we are not upbeat on the recovery of this business.
Yungjin’s outlicensed new drug candidate completed only phase 1 trial. If the candidate successfully completes later stages of trials, it is expected to be marketed only in 2024.
