VISEN Pharmaceuticals reported its maiden revenue of RMB34.54 million for the six months ended 30 June 2026, generated by the January launch of its once-weekly growth hormone therapy lonapegsomatropin (brand name SKYTROFA/維臻高).
Revenue translated into a gross profit of RMB18.06 million and a gross margin of 52.3%. The company remained loss-making, but its net loss narrowed 11.8% year on year to RMB104.10 million as lower R&D and administrative spending offset higher selling and marketing costs tied to commercialisation.
Key cost lines evolved as follows: • R&D expense fell 19.9% to RMB37.37 million after completion of major clinical activities on lead programmes. • Administrative expense dropped 44.0% to RMB33.60 million. • Selling and marketing expense rose to RMB35.77 million as the commercial rollout accelerated. • Finance costs increased to RMB2.03 million on interest for bank borrowings taken in 2H 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents stood at RMB505.81 million at end-June, down from RMB632.65 million at end-2025, reflecting operating outflows of RMB119.20 million. Total assets were RMB887.16 million, while total equity was RMB671.25 million. The current ratio slipped to 4.00 from 4.47.
