Net income attributable to HUTCHMED of $100.8 million.2024 Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenue guidance of $300 million to $400 million, driven by 30% to 50% growth target in marketed product sales and royalties.R&D expenses focused in line with strategy targeting key projects.Strengthened cash balance, with $886.3 million at year end (2022: $631.0m), ensures HUTCHMED is well placed to deliver on its objective of becoming a self-sustaining business. 2023 FULL YEAR RESULTS & BUSINESS UPDATES Mr Simon To, Executive Chairman of HUTCHMED, said, “We have made significant progress throughout 2023. We executed against our commitment to bring our innovative medicines to patients worldwide with the U.S. FDA approval of FRUZAQLA™ in November 2023, while remaining dedicated to becoming a self-sustaining business. The Takeda partnership, which is one of the biggest small-molecule overseas licensing deals in the history of China biotech, strengthened our cash position by $435 million. Takeda delivered a successful U.S. launch within 48 hours of approval, and has subsequently seen strong early patient uptake.” “We will continue to deliver on our strategy in 2024. We will stay focused on our target of becoming sustainable through our balanced strategy of growing sales of our novel medicines in China, and advancing our medicines overseas with our partners. This, when combined with our other goals on pipeline progression and further business development, means that while the global macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, HUTCHMED is positioned to thrive and continue to deliver innovative medicines to ever more patients around the world.” Dr Weiguo Su, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of HUTCHMED, said, “HUTCHMED delivered impressive financial results in 2023, with revenue up 97% to $838 million. This, alongside our significantly strengthened cash balance of $886 million, will enable us to continue advancing our pipeline and successfully executing our strategy.” “2023 was an important year for HUTCHMED, particularly for fruquintinib, for which we filed market authorization applications in the U.S., EU and Japan, based on the successful FRESCO-2 study. Following the U.S. FDA approval for third-line patients with advanced CRC, we continue to work together with Takeda to pursue additional launches in new markets worldwide. In China, we also filed an NDA for second-line gastric cancer based on the FRUTIGA study.” “Another milestone was the successful ESLIM-01 registration study in China in ITP patients for sovleplenib, our first potential novel medicine in immunological diseases. The NDA was accepted and granted priority review by the NMPA in January 2024. There are over 250,000 new and existing adult ITP patients in China20. The treatment options are limited to steroids and TPO/TPO-RAs21, representing an unmet medical need that sovleplenib could help address, with its new mechanism of action and favorable safety profile. Syk inhibition has the potential to target other major diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. We are also planning to initiate clinical development of sovleplenib outside China in 2024.” “For savolitinib, we completed the confirmatory trial in NSCLC patients with MET22 exon 14 skipping alterations. An NDA submission is expected in the first quarter of 2024, with potential to expand the label indication to include first-line patients in China. Outside China, we will continue our work with AstraZeneca on the pivotal global savolitinib lung cancer trial SAVANNAH, which, subject to favorable data, can support a filing to the U.S. FDA for approval. This study completed enrollment with a potential NDA submission towards the end of 2024 in EGFR23 mutant NSCLC patients who progressed on TAGRISSO® treatment, which received U.S. FDA Fast Track designation in January 2023. We believe the convenient dosing, targeted efficacy and safety profile of savolitinib as an oral medicine in combination with TAGRISSO®, the leading oral third-generation EGFR TKI24, should position it well in a competitive market and address the unmet needs of MET+ NSCLC patients.” "Our China commercialization efforts progressed well, as we successfully renewed NRDL25 coverage for both fruquintinib and surufatinib without further price reduction. Their in-market sales saw strong growth in 2023. Over the next two years, we plan to continue growth in China through expanded indications and the launch of new products together with revenue from FRUZAQLA™ overseas commercialization.” I. COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS Total revenue increased 97% (102% at CER) to $838.0 million in 2023 (2022: $426.4m), driven by the Takeda partnership, our strong commercial progress in China, and growth in third-party distribution sales, resulting in a net income of $101 million for 2023.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 While restrictive measures related to COVID-19 were gradually lifted in China starting from December 2022, COVꞮD-19 had some impact on our research, clinical studies and our commercial activities in the first few months of 2023. Measures were put in place to reduce the impact and, in the second quarter of 2023, these activities normalized. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Foreign exchange impact: The RMB depreciated against the U.S. dollar on average by approximately 5% during 2023, which has impacted our consolidated financial results as highlighted below. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments were $886.3 million as of December 31, 2023 compared to $631.0 million as of December 31, 2022. Adjusted Group (non-GAAP47) net cash flows excluding financing activities in 2023 were $206.7 million (2022: -$297.9m) mainly due to the receipt of $435 million in upfront and milestone payments from Takeda; andNet cash generated from financing activities in 2023 totaled $48.7 million mainly due to the drawdowns of bank borrowings (2022: net cash used in financing activities of $82.8m).

Full year 2024 guidance for Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenue is $300 million to $400 million, driven by 30% to 50% growth target in oncology marketed product revenue. HUTCHMED’s work in 2024 and beyond will be supported by its strong balance sheet, which grew by $255 million to $886 million in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments as of December 31, 2023. The Company is thus well placed to deliver against its target to become a self-sustaining business and its goal to bring its innovative medicines to patients globally through its own sales network in China markets and through partners worldwide.
