Pipeline Development Updates F351 (hydronidone): In May 2026, Gyre announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted its New Drug Application (NDA) for F351 (hydronidone) as a treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-induced liver fibrosis. The acceptance came after Gyre submitted the NDA through its majority-owned subsidiary Gyre Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (Gyre Pharmaceuticals) following the priority review status for F351 granted by the NMPA in March. Pirfenidone (ETUARYTM): A Phase 3 trial of pirfenidone for the treatment of pneumoconiosis (PD) in the People's Republic of China (PRC) completed enrollment in 2025. A total of 272 patients were enrolled evaluating the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks of pirfenidone capsule treatment in patients with PD versus placebo. The final patient is expected to complete the study by the fourth quarter of 2026. In April 2026, Gyre initiated its adaptive Phase 2/3 clinical trial in oncology-related pulmonary complications, with the first patient enrolled. The trial is evaluating pirfenidone for radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), including cases complicated by immune-related pneumonitis, at leading oncology centers. Dr. Luo added, “Following the close of our acquisition of Cullgen, we gained a portfolio of targeted protein degraders and degrader-antibody conjugates, while also expanding our pipeline into cancer, inflammatory diseases, cancer pain and solid tumors. We now have a full-spectrum pipeline consisting of clinical and IND-enabling assets to address multiple therapeutic areas with a focus on fibrosis and inflammatory diseases, plus a next-generation TPD/DAC platform to complement our legacy, commercial-stage fibrosis platform. We believe the latter provides long-term upside, especially with our China-based innovation capabilities driving cost efficiencies for early-stage development.” Cullgen Acquisition Closes in the Second Quarter of 2026 On May 4, 2026, Gyre Therapeutics acquired Cullgen Inc. (Cullgen) in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $300 million and Cullgen became a wholly owned subsidiary of Gyre. Upon the closing of this transaction, Cullgen's former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dr. Ying Luo, was appointed President and CEO of Gyre and joined Gyre's Board. Additionally, Yue Xiong, former Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of Cullgen, was appointed CSO of Gyre, Thomas Eastling, former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Cullgen, was appointed CFO of Gyre, and Ping Zhang was named Chairman. The combined company remains headquartered in San Diego with subsidiaries in Beijing and Shanghai, with roughly 740 employees, and numerous announced therapeutic programs spanning inflammation/pain and cancer. The transaction has been accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively recast for all periods presented during which the Company and Cullgen were under common control to reflect the combined financial position and results of operations of the Company and Cullgen as if the common-control transfer had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Updates on Programs in Development Following Cullgen Acquisition CG001419 for cancer pain and solid tumors: Following the successful completion of a Phase 1 study in Australia of 78 healthy volunteers in December 2025, Gyre is now planning a Phase 2 study to further evaluate CG001419 in cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) or other metastatic cancer pain syndromes. CG001419 continues to separately be evaluated in a Phase 1 trial in China for the treatment of solid tumors. CG009301 for AML: The second product candidate from Cullgen, CG009301, is a GSPT1 Degrader for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This candidate continues to be studied in a Phase 1 dose-escalation trial being conducted in China in patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. Dual-degrader programs, next-generation TPDs: Gyre expects to submit Investigational New Drug (IND) applications in the United States and/or China in the first quarter of 2027 for two additional Cullgen degrader assets: CG923308, a CDK2-Cyclin E dual degrader for solid tumor indications, and CG620953, a TYK2-JAK1 dual degrader for autoimmune diseases. DACs, next-generation ADCs: Additional candidates include degrader antibody conjugates (DACs), which are considered to be the next generation of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and which are in development to target both solid tumors and hematological malignancies by pairing distinct protein degraders with tumor-specific antibodies. Financial Results Cash Position As of June 30, 2026, Gyre held $43.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, $14.1 million in short-term bank deposits, $17.5 million in short-term investment, and $28.4 million in long-term certificates of deposit, totaling $103.2 million. Compared to $116.1 million as of December 31, 2025, total cash decreased by $12.9 million, or 11%, primarily driven by a decrease in short-term investment of $10.6 million. Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $29.1 million, compared to $29.7 million for the same period in 2025, representing a $0.6 million, or 2%, decrease. Gyre Pharmaceuticals revenue increased during the period, primarily driven by higher ETUARYTM sales volumes resulting from ETUARYTM focused marketing efforts, despite lower ContivaTM and EtorelTM product revenues earned following the implementation of China's national centralized procurement program. The increase was offset by a $3.0 million decrease in collaboration revenue from the Collaboration, Option, and License Agreement with Astellas Pharma Inc. (the Astellas Agreement) which ended in March 2026, resulting in an overall decrease in revenues of $0.6 million, or 2%, compared to the prior-year period. Cost of Revenues: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, cost of revenues was $2.2 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.0 million, or 92%, increase was primarily driven by a $0.7 million increase in production costs associated with EtorelTM products, a $0.2 million increase in production costs for ETUARYTM, and a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. Selling and Marketing Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, selling and marketing expense was $13.8 million, compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.4 million, or 9%, decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.5 million decrease in promotional and conference expenses as certain promotional objectives were achieved in the first quarter of 2026, reducing spending in the second quarter, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses, and a $0.5 million increase in personnel-related costs, primarily due to increased sales commissions resulting from higher sales volumes during the second quarter of 2026. Research and Development Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, research and development expense was $19.1 million, compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. Gyre reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). This release presents the financial measure “adjusted net income,” which is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for this non-GAAP financial measure is “net income.” Adjusted net income presents Gyre’s results of operations after excluding gain from change in fair value of warrants, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes, transaction costs and loss on disposal of assets, net. This is meant to supplement, and not substitute, Gyre’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income as defined by Gyre may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. Management believes that presenting adjusted net income provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating Gyre’s performance and valuation. See the reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income in the section titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. About F351 F351 is Gyre’s lead development candidate for the treatment of liver fibrosis that is being developed for two different indications. It is a structurally modified derivative of pirfenidone designed to optimize metabolic properties while targeting the TGF-β1 signaling pathway, a key mediator of fibrogenesis. Gyre is developing F351 for two primary indications: CHB-associated liver fibrosis in the PRC and MASH-associated liver fibrosis initially in the United States. In the United States, Gyre has completed a Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers evaluating F351’s safety, tolerability, and PK. Gyre is further analyzing China Phase 3 study results of F351, together with new pre-clinical results obtained to determine an optimal regulatory path for Phase 2 studies in MASH fibrosis. About Gyre Pharmaceuticals Gyre Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Gyre Therapeutics, Inc., is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative drugs for organ fibrosis. Its flagship product, ETUARY™ (pirfenidone capsule), was the first approved treatment for IPF in the PRC in 2011 and has maintained a prominent market share over the past several years. In addition, Gyre Pharmaceuticals' pipeline includes F351 (hydronidone), a structural analogue of pirfenidone, which demonstrated statistically significant fibrosis regression after 52 weeks of treatment in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in CHB-associated liver fibrosis in the PRC. In May 2026, China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted Gyre Pharmaceuticals’ New Drug Application (NDA) for F351 as a treatment for CHB-induced liver fibrosis, which is liver damage resulting from the infection of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). F351 received Breakthrough Therapy designation by the CDE of the NMPA in March 2021. Gyre Pharmaceuticals is also developing treatments for PD, RILI with or without immune-related pneumonitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and acute/acute-on-chronic liver failure (ALF/ACLF). As of June 30, 2026, Gyre Therapeutics owns a 69.7% equity interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals.

Compared to $75.9 million as of December 31, 2025, total cash increased by $3.3 million, or 4%, primarily driven by higher customer collections and reduced tax payments. Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $22.5 million, compared to $22.1 million for the same period in 2025. The $0.4 million, or 2%, increase was primarily due to the increase in Contiva™ and Etorel™ sales by approximately $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, partially offset by the decrease in ETUARY™ sales and other products sales by approximately $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Contiva™ was launched in March 2025, and Etorel™ was not commercially launched until June 2025. ETUARY™ revenue declined by approximately 3% year-over-year, primarily attributable to the seasonal fluctuation in 2026 compared to 2025. Cost of Revenues: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cost of revenues was $1.2 million, compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2025. The $0.3 million, or 37%, increase was primarily driven by to a $0.3 million rise in early production costs for Etorel™ cost of sales and a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in ETUARY™ cost of sales. Selling and Marketing Expense: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, selling and marketing expense was $14.1 million, compared to $10.8 million for the same period in 2025. The $3.3 million, or 30%, increase was primarily driven by to a $2.9 million increase in promotion expenses for Etorel™ and Contiva™, and early-stage preparation activities for F351 commercial launch, and a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in staff cost due to a decrease in bonus and a $0.1 million decrease in travel and other expenses. Research and Development Expense: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, research and development expense was $6.7 million, compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2025. The $3.6 million, or 118%, increase was primarily attributable to Gyre Pharmaceuticals and was driven by a $2.0 million increase in clinical research expenses, primarily relating to the Phase 3c and other clinical trial for F351 in the PRC requested by NMPA. The increase also reflects a $0.5 million increase in materials and utilities expenses, and a $1.1 million increase attributable to Gyre Therapeutics’ pre-clinical activities for future investigational new drug (IND) filings in the United States. These costs represent planned investments and are expected to continue in the near- to medium-term. General and Administrative Expense: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, general and administrative expense was $7.3 million, compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2025. The $2.3 million, or 46%, increase was primarily driven by a $0.8 million increase in stock-based compensation costs, a $0.9 million increase in staff costs due to the Company’s internal realignment of responsibilities and compensation adjustments, and a $0.6 million increase in miscellaneous expenses. Transaction Costs: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $2.5 million transaction costs were incurred in connection with the acquisition of Cullgen. As the merger transaction closed in early May 2026, we expect there will be additional non-recurring transaction costs incurred after the first quarter of 2026. (Loss) Income from Operations: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, loss from operations was $9.4 million, compared to income from operations of $2.3 million for the same period in 2025. The $11.7 million decrease was primarily driven by $12.1 million increase in total operating expense driven by transactions costs, increased stock based compensation, expanded marketing expenses for Etorel™ and Contiva™, early-stage preparation activities for ETUARY™ and Phase 3c and other clinical trial and pre-clinical activities, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in revenue. Net (Loss) Income: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net loss was $9.9 million, compared to net income of $3.7 million for the same period in 2025. The $13.6 million decrease was primarily driven by an increase in operating expenses of $12.1 million, a decrease in other income of $2.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense of $0.3 million, and an increase in revenue of $0.4 million. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net (Loss) Income: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $4.2 million, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $2.9 million for the same period in 2025. The $7.1 million decrease was primarily driven by the increase in operating expenses of $5.6 million and a decrease in other income of $2.2 million, offset by an increase in revenue of $0.4 million and a decrease in income tax expenses of $0.3 million.

This trial will evaluate pirfenidone for radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), including cases complicated by immune-related pneumonitis, at leading oncology centers. Corporate Updates: In March 2026, Gyre announced an agreement to acquire Cullgen Inc. (Cullgen), a privately-held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of targeted protein degrader and degrader antibody conjugate therapies, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $300 million. Following the closing of the acquisition, expected in the second quarter of 2026, the new combined entity is expected to be a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company with U.S.- and China-based capabilities spanning from discovery to manufacturing and commercialization and covering multiple therapeutic areas, including inflammatory diseases, cancers, and pain. Financial Results Cash Position As of December 31, 2025, Gyre had cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term bank deposits of $75.9 million. Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2025 Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $37.2 million, compared to $27.9 million for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of $9.3 million, or 33.3% year-over-year. The growth was driven by $1.5 million in Etorel® sales and $2.5 million in Contiva® sales, as well as a $5.5 million increase in ETUARY® sales, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in generic drug revenue. The increase in ETUARY® sales reflects strengthened commercial execution and the reallocation of marketing resources during the second half of 2025. Cost of Revenues: For the three months ended December 31, 2025, cost of revenues was $1.7 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.5 million increase was primarily driven by a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, and a $0.1 million increase in cost of sales of Etorel® and Contiva®. Selling and Marketing Expense: Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $23.8 million, compared to $16.9 million for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of $6.9 million, or 40.8% year-over-year. The increase was primarily attributable to expanded commercial activities, including a $2.9 million increase in personnel costs driven by higher sales headcount and commissions, a $2.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $1.7 million increase in conference and promotional activities, and a $0.1 million increase in travel and other expenses.

General and Administrative Expense: For the three months ended December 31, 2025, general and administrative expense was $6.7 million, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.2 million increase was primarily driven by a $1.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.8 million increase in functional and administrative department's personnel expense, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in professional service expense, a $0.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense and a $0.1 million decrease in miscellaneous expense. Income from Operations: For the three months ended December 31, 2025, income from operations was $0.1 million, compared to $0.7 million income from operations for the same period in 2024. The $0.6 million decrease in income from operations was driven primarily by a $9.9 million increase in total operating expenses, partially offset by a $9.3 million increase in revenue. Net (Loss) Income: For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net loss was $1.4 million, compared to $0.6 million net income for the same period in 2024. The $2.0 million decrease was driven primarily by an increase in income tax expense of $1.1 million, an increase in operating expenses of $9.9 million and a decrease in other income of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $9.3 million. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: For the three months ended December 31, 2025, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $4.3 million, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2024. The $3.2 million increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue of $9.3 million partially offset by the increase in operating expenses of $5.8 million and an decrease in other income of $0.3 million. Financial Results for the Full Year Ended December 31, 2025 Revenues: Revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2025 were $116.6 million, compared to $105.8 million for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of $10.8 million, or 10.2% year-over-year. The growth was driven by $5.5 million in Contiva® sales and $4.6 million in Etorel® sales, along with a $1.1 million increase in ETUARY® sales, partially offset by a $0.4 million decline in generic drug revenue. Sales of Contiva® and Etorel®, which commenced commercialization in March 2025 and June 2025, respectively, were primarily driven by the targeted allocation of commercial and marketing resources to support their respective launches during the first half of 2025. The increase in ETUARY® sales reflects a strategic realignment of marketing efforts in the third quarter of 2025 to optimize product mix and address evolving market dynamics. Cost of Revenues: For the full year ended December 31, 2025, cost of revenues was $5.4 million, compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.5 million increase was primarily driven by a $0.8 million increase in ETUARY®'s cost, due to higher plant, property and equipment depreciation from a plant renovation completed in the second half of 2024, a $0.6 million increase in the cost of Contiva® and Etorel®, in line with the corresponding increase in their sales, and a $0.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. These factors were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in costs related to generic drugs due to the decrease in sales. Selling and Marketing Expense: For the full year ended December 31, 2025, selling and marketing expense was $65.2 million, compared to $57.5 million for the same period in 2024. This $7.7 million increase was primarily driven by a $2.5 million increase in conference expenses and promotional expenses, attributable to the launch of additional promotional campaigns in the current year—particularly for the Company’s new products, a $2.6 million increase in staff costs, which was driven by expanded headcount and higher sales commissions, consistent with the corresponding growth in revenue, a $2.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.3 million increase in traveling and other expense. Research and Development Expense: For the full year ended December 31, 2025, research and development expense was $13.7 million, compared to $12.0 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.7 million increase was attributable to a $1.0 million increase in clinical trial costs, primarily as a result of data analysis costs for Hydronidone, PD and RILI, a $0.4 million increase in staff costs, which included $0.2 million in stock-based compensation expense, a $0.5 million increase in facilities, depreciation and other expenses, attributable mainly to professional and consulting fees incurred in connection with research and development operations, and a $0.4 million increase in pre-clinical research expenses. These expense increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in materials and utilities expenses. General and Administrative Expense: For the full year ended December 31, 2025, general and administrative expense was $20.8 million, compared to $16.1 million for the same period in 2024. This $4.7 million increase was primarily driven by a $3.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $1.3 million increase in functional and administrative department's personnel expense, and a $0.9 million increase in miscellaneous expense. These cost increases were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in professional service expenses. Income from Operations: For the full year ended December 31, 2025, income from operations was $11.5 million, compared to $16.2 million in income for the same period in 2024. The $4.7 million decrease in income from operations was driven primarily by a $15.5 million increase in total operating expenses, partially offset by a $10.8 million increase in revenue. Net Income: For the full year ended December 31, 2025, net income was $9.9 million, compared to $17.9 million net income for the same period in 2024. This $8.0 million decrease was driven primarily by the increase in operating expenses of $15.5 million and decrease in change in fair value of warrant liability of $4.5 million, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $10.8 million, an increase in other income of $0.4 million, and a decrease in income tax expense of $0.8 million. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: For the full year ended December 31, 2025, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $18.9 million, compared to $16.9 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue of $10.8 million and an increase in other income of $0.4 million partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $9.2 million. Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance For the full year 2026, the Company expects to generate revenues of $100.5 million to $111.0 million, representing a decline of approximately 13.8% to 4.8% compared to 2025. The Company anticipates that 2026 will be a transition period, during which it plans to prioritize regulatory activities, including preparation for the planned NDA submission of Hydronidone. In addition, given uncertainties associated with the National Centralized Drug Procurement program and evolving market dynamics, the Company expects to moderate promotional activities for Contiva® and Etorel®. Please note the following regarding the total revenue guidance: Guidance assumes a constant foreign currency exchange rate. Guidance assumes no significant economic disruption or downturn.

About Hydronidone Hydronidone is a novel, orally administered anti-fibrotic agent designed to target key liver fibrosis pathways. It attenuates hepatic stellate cell activation and fibrogenesis, at least in part, by suppressing Tumor Growth Transforming (TGF)-β1-induced signal transduction, including reduced p38γ phosphorylation and upregulated Smad7 expression. This upregulation of Smad7 subsequently leads to downregulation of TGF-βRI and inhibition of Smad2/3 activation, thereby disrupting canonical TGF-β/Smad signaling and reducing fibrotic gene expression in hepatic stellate cells. The drug has completed Phase 3 clinical evaluation in China for chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-associated liver fibrosis, including early (compensated) cirrhosis, and is being evaluated for its potential applicability across additional fibrotic diseases in region-specific development programs. About Gyre Pharmaceuticals Gyre Pharmaceuticals is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative drugs for organ fibrosis. Its flagship product, ETUARY® (pirfenidone capsule), was the first approved treatment for IPF in China in 2011 and has maintained a prominent market share (2024 net sales of $105.8 million). In addition, Gyre Pharmaceuticals’ pipeline includes Hydronidone, a structural analogue of pirfenidone, which demonstrated statistically significant fibrosis regression after 52 weeks of treatment in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in CHB-associated liver fibrosis in China. Hydronidone received Breakthrough Therapy designation by the NMPA CDE in March 2021. Gyre Pharmaceuticals is also developing treatments for PD, RILI with or without immune-related pneumonitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and acute/acute-on-chronic liver failure (ALF/ACLF). As of December 31, 2025, Gyre Therapeutics owns a 69.7% equity interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals.

Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. (GYRE) Q4 Earnings Miss Estimates
Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. (GYRE) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.04 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.08 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.01 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -50.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.05 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.06, delivering a surprise of +20%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once. Gyre Therapeutics, Inc., which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $37.2 million for the quarter ended December 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.17%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $27.87 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. shares have added about 18% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 1%. While Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock.

We Think That There Are Issues Underlying Gyre Therapeutics' (NASDAQ:GYRE) Earnings
Unsurprisingly, Gyre Therapeutics, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GYRE) stock price was strong on the back of its healthy earnings report. However, we think that shareholders may be missing some concerning details in the numbers. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. One essential aspect of assessing earnings quality is to look at how much a company is diluting shareholders. In fact, Gyre Therapeutics increased the number of shares on issue by 5.9% over the last twelve months by issuing new shares. That means its earnings are split among a greater number of shares. Per share metrics like EPS help us understand how much actual shareholders are benefitting from the company's profits, while the net income level gives us a better view of the company's absolute size. Check out Gyre Therapeutics' historical EPS growth by clicking on this link. As it happens, we don't know how much the company made or lost three years ago, because we don't have the data. Zooming in to the last year, we still can't talk about growth rates coherently, since it made a loss last year. But mathematics aside, it is always good to see when a formerly unprofitable business come good (though we accept profit would have been higher if dilution had not been required). So you can see that the dilution has had a bit of an impact on shareholders. If Gyre Therapeutics' EPS can grow over time then that drastically improves the chances of the share price moving in the same direction. But on the other hand, we'd be far less excited to learn profit (but not EPS) was improving. For the ordinary retail shareholder, EPS is a great measure to check your hypothetical "share" of the company's profit. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. Gyre Therapeutics issued shares during the year, and that means its EPS performance lags its net income growth. Therefore, it seems possible to us that Gyre Therapeutics' true underlying earnings power is actually less than its statutory profit. On the bright side, the company showed enough improvement to book a profit this year, after losing money last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, i…Read full documentShow less

Gyre Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2025 and Year-to-Date Financial Results and Provides Business Update
Net income of $5.9 million and $11.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively Full-year revenue guidance revised to $115-118 million (from $118 - $128 million previously) due to delayed Etorel® (Nintedanib) rollout and government procurement-related uncertainty Q3 2025 vs Q3 2024 Highlights Quarterly revenue of $30.6 million, up 20% year-over-year, driven by ETUARY® growth and contributions from sales of Etorel® and Contiva®. GAAP net income doubled to $5.9 million and adjusted net income rose to $8.8 million, reflecting commercial execution and disciplined cost control. Operating income increased 64% to $6.9 million, as operating expenses grew at a slower pace than revenue. Basic EPS improved to $0.04, compared to $0.01 year-over-year. Nine-Month 2025 Highlights Revenue of $79.4 million, moderately above the prior-year period, supported by steady Q3 growth of Etorel® and Contiva®, after earlier supply chain and distribution delays related to new product launches. Basic EPS down from $0.14 to $0.08, reflecting higher operating expenses related to the dual product launches in the first half of 2025, partially offset by the strong Q3 profit recovery. $80.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short and long-term deposits, up 57% year-to-date, as of Sept 30, 2025. Business Update Hydronidone New Drug Application (NDA) progressing in China, with Priority Review discussions ongoing and targeted submission following completion of regulatory interactions.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gyre Therapeutics (“Gyre”) (Nasdaq: GYRE), an innovative, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing fibrosis-first therapies across organ systems affected by chronic disease, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 and provided a business update. “Following the positive results from our pivotal Phase 3 trial in the PRC evaluating Hydronidone for the treatment of CHB-associated liver fibrosis, we are working diligently toward our NDA submission and are leveraging Hydronidone’s Breakthrough Therapy designation to bring this much-needed therapy to patients in China,” said Ping Zhang, Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Gyre Therapeutics. “With enrollment now completed in our 52-week Phase 3 trial of pirfenidone for the treatment of pneumoconiosis, we continue to advance our pipeline in China. We are also preparing for U.S. clinical activities and expect to file the U.S. IND for Hydronidone for the treatment of MASH-associated liver fibrosis in 2026, supported by the translation and regulatory-quality review of our China Phase 2 and Phase 3 trial data and an upcoming hepatic impairment study.” Third Quarter Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones Commercial Portfolio ETUARY® (pirfenidone): Generated $27.7 million in sales of ETUARY® for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $25.3 million for the same period in 2024. Etorel® (nintedanib ethanesulfonate soft capsules): Generated $1.5 million in sales of Etorel® for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the first full quarter of launch. Contiva® (avatrombopag maleate tablets): Generated $1.2 million in sales of Contiva® for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Pipeline Development Updates Hydronidone: New Drug Application (NDA) in China: Building on the positive Phase 3 trial results, Gyre Pharmaceuticals is actively engaging with China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to confirm Priority Review eligibility for Hydronidone’s New Drug Application (NDA). The Company remains on track to advance regulatory filing activities and intends to proceed with the NDA submission for Hydronidone in China upon completion of ongoing regulatory interactions and resolution of any outstanding requirements. Hydronidone U.S. IND Timing Update: The anticipated timeline for submitting the U.S. IND for Hydronidone for the treatment of MASH-associated liver fibrosis has been adjusted due to the delayed availability of the full Phase 3 trial data set from the completed trial of Hydronidone for the treatment of CHB-associated liver fibrosis in China. The Phase 2 and Phase 3 trial data form the core clinical safety package supporting the U.S. program, and the translation and regulatory-quality review of the Clinical Study Reports are currently in progress. In parallel, Gyre plans to conduct a hepatic impairment study in U.S. subjects under its active U.S. IND. In light of the shifting market dynamics in the MASH landscape, this study is expected to help determine dose selection and appropriate enrollment criteria in populations with reduced hepatic function, thereby supporting a more robust Phase 2 development strategy. With these activities underway, Gyre expects to file the U.S. IND for Hydronidone for the treatment of MASH-associated liver fibrosis in 2026, and, subject to U.S. IND clearance, initiate a Phase 2 trial. Pirfenidone Development and Indication Expansion: In the third quarter of 2025, Gyre Pharmaceuticals completed patient enrollment in the 52-week Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating pirfenidone for the treatment of pneumoconiosis. The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 272 patients across 18 clinical research centers in China. The trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks of pirfenidone treatment in patients with pneumoconiosis, a chronic occupational lung disease characterized by progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Following the NMPA’s approval in March 2025 of Gyre Pharmaceuticals’ clinical trial application for pirfenidone in oncology-related pulmonary complications, Gyre Pharmaceuticals plans to initiate an adaptive Phase 2/3 trial in the fourth quarter of 2025 in the PRC, targeting radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) including cases complicated by immune-related pneumonitis across leading oncology centers. Financial Results Cash Position As of September 30, 2025, Gyre held $40.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $19.6 million in short-term bank deposits, and $20.3 million in long-term certificates of deposit, totaling $80.3 million. Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $30.6 million, compared to $25.5 million for the same period in 2024. The $5.1 million increase was primarily due to $1.5 million from Etorel® sales, $1.2 million from Contiva® sales and a $2.4 million increase in revenue from ETUARY® sales. The increase in ETUARY® sales was mainly driven by a shift in marketing focus in the third quarter. We continue to anticipate revenue growth over the remainder of the year, driven by the growth of ETUARY® sales and supplemented by the commercialization of Etorel® and Contiva® in 2025. Cost of Revenues: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, cost of revenues was $1.6 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.6 million increase was primarily attributable to a $0.2 million increase in the costs associated with Contiva® and Etorel®, in line with the corresponding increase in their sales, and a $0.5 million increase in costs associated with ETUARY® due to the higher sales and increased production costs for the product batch related to such sales, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in costs associated with generic drugs due to the decrease of sales. Selling and Marketing Expense: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, selling and marketing expense was $15.3 million, compared to $13.7 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.6 million increase was primarily attributable to a $0.5 million increase in payroll costs, driven by higher headcount and an increase of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and a $1.1 million increase in promotion and conference expenses. Research and Development Expense: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, research and development expense was $2.4 million, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.4 million decrease in clinical trial costs resulting from the completion of the Phase 3 trial of Hydronidone in the second quarter of 2025, and a $0.2 million decrease in pre-clinical research expenses, partially offset by $0.2 million increase in staff costs. General and Administrative Expense: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, general and administrative expense was $4.3 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.5 million increase was primarily driven by a $1.1 million increase in functional and administrative department's personnel and stock compensation costs and a $0.2 million increase in miscellaneous expenses, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in professional fees. Income from Operations: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, income from operations was $6.9 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2024. The $2.7 million increase was primarily driven by a $5.1 million increase in revenue, partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in total operating expenses. Net Income: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net income was $5.9 million, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue of $5.1 million and an increase in other income of $0.8 million, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $2.4 million and an increase in income tax expense of $0.6 million. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $8.8 million, compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue of $5.1 million and an increase in other income of $0.8 million, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $1.5 million. Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Revenues: Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $79.4 million, compared to $77.9 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.5 million increase was primarily driven by the increase in new product sales of Contiva® by $3.0 million and Etorel® by $3.1 million, partially offset by a $4.4 million decline in ETUARY® sales and a $0.2 million decrease in generic drug revenue. The decrease in ETUARY® sales was primarily due to the allocation of marketing resources towards the launches of two new products during the first half of the year. In the third quarter, Gyre refocused marketing efforts on ETUARY® in response to market uncertainties related to Etorel® and Contiva®, both of which were included in the latest national volume-based procurement catalog. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Gyre recorded an increase in ETUARY® sales compared to the same period in 2024, and Gyre expects ETUARY® sales will continue to grow in the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. We revised our full-year revenue guidance (see “Revised Full Year 2025 Financial Guidance” section below) primarily due to lower-than-expected sales of Contiva® and Etorel® relative to internal budget expectations. While both products continue to expand their commercial presence, initial rollout challenges and external market dynamics have resulted in lower than-expected sales. For Etorel®, early-year supply chain and distribution delays moderated launch uptake, and uncertainty related to government volume-based procurement led customers to cautious purchasing behavior. While the underlying demand has started to improve, current performance remains below our original expectations for the year. Cost of Revenues: For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cost of revenues was $3.7 million, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.0 million increase was primarily driven by a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $0.4 million increase in the costs of Etorel® and Contiva®, in line with the corresponding increase in their sales, as well as a $0.8 million increase in ETUARY®'s cost due to the higher plant, property and equipment depreciation from a plant renovation in 2025, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in costs related to generic drugs due to the decrease of sales. Selling and Marketing Expense: For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, selling and marketing expense was $41.4 million, compared to $40.7 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.7 million increase was primarily driven by a $0.9 million increase in conference expenses and a $0.1 million increase in stock compensation costs, partially offset by a $0.3 million reduction in staff costs. Research and Development Expense: For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, research and development expense was $8.9 million, compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.6 million increase was primarily attributable to a $1.0 million increase in clinical trial costs, primarily as a result of data analysis costs for Hydronidone in the first half of 2025. This increase was offset by a $0.2 million decrease in materials and utilities expenses and a $0.2 million decrease in pre-clinical research expenses. General and Administrative Expense: For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, general and administrative expense was $14.1 million, compared to $10.6 million for the same period in 2024. The $3.5 million increase was primarily driven by a $2.8 million increase in functional and administrative department's personnel and stock compensation costs and a $0.9 million increase in miscellaneous expense, mainly due to the increase in expenses related to Gyre Pharmaceuticals' annual employee appreciation event, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in professional fees. Income from Operations: For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, income from operations was $11.4 million, compared to $15.5 million for the same period in 2024. The $4.1 million decrease was primarily driven by a $5.6 million increase in total operating expenses, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in revenue. Net Income: For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net income was $11.2 million, compared to $17.3 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the increase in operating expenses of $5.6 million and decrease in change in fair value of warrant liability of $4.5 million, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $1.5 million, an increase in other income of $0.7 million, and a decrease of income tax expense of $1.9 million. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $14.6 million, compared to $15.7 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the increase in operating expenses of $3.3 million, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $1.5 million and an increase in other income of $0.7 million. Revised Full Year 2025 Financial Guidance Full-year revenue guidance revised from $118–128 million to $115–118 million, reflecting slower-than-expected commercialization of Etorel® (nintedanib) due to early supply chain and distribution challenges, as well as increased market uncertainty related to China’s centralized procurement policy leading to more cautious purchasing behavior in the second half of the year, partially offset by stronger-than-expected ETUARY® sales. Please note that the revenue guidance assumes a constant foreign currency rate and no significant economic disruption or downturn. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by Gyre Therapeutics, Inc.

Our lead compound, Hydronidone, demonstrated statistically significant fibrosis regression in patients with CHB-associated liver fibrosis in a pivotal Phase 3 trial in the PRC, a critical step that not only underscores the potential of Hydronidone, but also lays the foundation to expand into additional fibrotic indications,” continued Mr. Zhang. “In the second half of 2025 we are well-positioned to grow our footprint in the United States with our planned Phase 2 trial evaluating Hydronidone in MASH-associated liver fibrosis, while continuing to advance our robust pipeline in the PRC, highlighted by a new Phase 2/3 trial of pirfenidone in oncology-related pulmonary complications expected to initiate later this year. In addition, Gyre Pharmaceuticals remains on track to file an NDA for Hydronidone with the NMPA in the third quarter of 2025 to potentially support our growing commercial portfolio.” Second Quarter Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones Commercial Portfolio Expansion ETUARY® (pirfenidone): Generated $23.5 million in sales of ETUARY® for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $25.1 million for the same period in 2024. Etorel (nintedanib ethanesulfonate soft capsules): In June 2025, Gyre launched Etorel in the PRC for the treatment of systemic sclerosis-associated ILD, and progressive fibrosing ILD, and generated sales of $1.6 million in the first partial quarter of launch. Contiva (avatrombopag maleate tablets): In March 2025, Gyre initiated commercialization of Contiva in the PRC for thrombocytopenia in adults with chronic liver disease and immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and generated sales for $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Pipeline Development Updates Hydronidone: In May 2025, Gyre reported positive results from its pivotal Phase 3 trial of Hydronidone for chronic hepatitis B (“CHB”)-associated liver fibrosis in the PRC, which demonstrated statistically significant regression in liver fibrosis after 52 weeks compared to placebo. In addition, Hydronidone met a key secondary endpoint with statistically significant inflammation improvement without fibrosis progression at Week 52 versus the placebo arm. Hydronidone was well tolerated with a comparable incidence of serious adverse events (4.88% vs. 6.45% in the placebo group) and no discontinuations due to adverse events in either group. Gyre plans to submit primary results for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and present full trial results at a future medical conference. Based on these results, Gyre intends to file a New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the PRC’s National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) in the third quarter of 2025. Gyre previously submitted an investigational new drug application (“IND”) for the treatment of liver fibrosis associated with a broad spectrum of chronic liver diseases with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and conducted a Phase 1 trial of Hydronidone in healthy volunteers for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”)-associated liver fibrosis. The Company is currently conducting an internal review to determine whether a new IND will be required for a Phase 2 trial in MASH-associated liver fibrosis. The Phase 2 trial is expected to start in the second half of 2025, subject to regulatory feedback. ETUARY® (Pirfenidone): Gyre plans to initiate an adaptive Phase 2/3 trial of pirfenidone for radiation-induced lung injury (“RILI”), including cases complicated by immune-related pneumonitis across top oncology centers in the PRC in the second half of 2025. F573: F573 is a caspase inhibitor and potential Category 1 new drug for the treatment of acute/acute on-chronic liver failure (“ALF/ACLF”). Completion of the Phase 2 clinical trial of F573 for ALF/ACLF is expected by the end of 2026. F230: In June 2025, the first volunteer was successfully dosed in a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating F230, a novel endothelin A receptor agonist, for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (“PAH”) in the PRC. F528: F528, a novel anti-inflammation agent with the potential to modify the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), is undergoing preclinical studies as a potential first-line therapy for the treatment of COPD. Gyre plans to submit an IND application in 2026. Corporate Updates In August 2025, Ping Zhang was appointed interim CEO as Dr. Han Ying transitions to a scientific leadership role. Mr. Zhang, who was appointed Executive Chairman in March 2025, has served on Gyre’s Board of Directors since January 2025. In May 2025, Gyre completed an underwritten public offering of 2,555,555 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $9.00 per share. The gross proceeds of the offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, were approximately $23.0 million. In the third quarter of 2025, BJContinent Pharmaceuticals Limited increased its capital contribution in Gyre Pharmaceuticals (also known as Beijing Continent Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.) by $1.28 million in exchange for 9,184,910 additional shares. As a result, the Company’s indirect interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals increased from 65.2% to 69.7%. Financial Results Cash Position As of June 30, 2025, Gyre held $36.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $17.9 million in short-term bank deposits, and $21.5 million in long-term certificates of deposit, totaling $75.9 million. The increase of cash and cash equivalents mainly includes net proceeds of approximately $21.3 million received from the May 2025 underwritten public offering. Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $26.8 million, compared to $25.2 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.6 million increase was primarily driven by a $1.6 million increase in revenue as a result of Etorel’s commercial launch in June 2025 and a $1.5 million increase in revenue from the sales of Contiva. These increases were offset by a $1.5 million decline in ETUARY® sales. Gyre anticipates revenue growth over the remainder of the year, driven by the commercial launch of Etorel in June 2025 and the continued expansion of Contiva. Cost of Revenues: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, cost of revenues was $1.2 million, compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.4 million increase was primarily driven by a $0.2 million increase in the costs associated with Contiva and Etorel, in line with the corresponding increase in their sales, and a $0.2 million increase in ETUARY®’s cost due to the higher plant, property and equipment depreciation from a plant renovation. Selling and Marketing Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, selling and marketing expense was $15.2 million, compared to $14.4 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.8 million increase was primarily attributable to a $0.9 million increase in payroll costs, driven by higher headcount and increase of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by $0.1 million decrease in promotion and conference expenses. Research and Development Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, research and development expense was $3.4 million, compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.1 million increase was primarily attributable to a $0.1 million increase in clinical trial costs, primarily related to data analysis costs for Hydronidone, and a $0.1 million increase in staff costs. These increases were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in materials and utilities expenses. General and Administrative Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expense was $4.8 million, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.4 million increase was primarily driven a $0.5 million increase in professional fees, and a $0.9 million increase in functional and administrative department’s personnel and stock compensation costs. Income from Operations: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, income from operations was $2.2 million, compared to $3.2 million income from operation for the same period in 2024. The $1.0 million decrease was primarily driven by $2.6 million increase in total operating expenses, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in revenue. Net Income: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $1.6 million, compared to $4.5 million net income for the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $2.9 million, compared to $3.1 million non-GAAP adjusted net income for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the increase in operating expenses of $1.7 million, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $1.6 million. Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Revenues: Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $48.8 million, compared to $52.4 million for the same period in 2024. The $3.6 million decrease was primarily driven by a $6.8 million decline in ETUARY® sales, partially offset by the increase in new product sales of Contiva by $1.8 million and Etorel by $1.6 million. The decrease in ETUARY® sales was mainly due to lower sales volume compared to the first half of 2024, when revenues were elevated by a one-time rural marketing campaign that was not repeated in 2025. Additionally, weaker economic conditions in China and increased competition in the IPF treatment market also contributed to the decline. During the first half of 2025, marketing funds were intentionally shifted to support the launches of Etorel and Contiva. Gyre anticipates revenue growth over the remainder of the year, driven by the continued expansion of Contiva in March 2025 and the commercial launch of Etorel in June 2025. Cost of Revenues: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cost of revenues was $2.0 million, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.3 million increase was primarily driven by a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $0.2 million increase in the costs of Etorel and Contiva, in line with the corresponding increase in their sales. Selling and Marketing Expense: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, selling and marketing expense was $26.0 million, compared to $26.9 million for the same period in 2024. The $0.9 million decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in commission costs due to the decrease of sales. Research and Development Expense: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, research and development expense was $6.5 million, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.0 million increase was primarily attributable to a $1.5 million increase in clinical trial costs, primarily as a result of data analysis costs for Hydronidone. This increase was offset by a $0.3 million decrease in materials and utilities expenses and a $0.1 million decrease in facilities, depreciation and other. General and Administrative Expense: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expense was $9.8 million, compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2024. The $3.0 million increase was primarily driven a $0.6 million increase in professional fees, a $1.6 million increase in functional and administrative department’s personnel and stock compensation costs, and a $0.8 million increase in miscellaneous expense, mainly due to the increase for the annual meeting expense. Income from Operations: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, income from operations was $4.4 million, compared to $11.3 million income from operation for the same period in 2024. The $6.9 million decrease was primarily driven by a $3.6 million decrease in revenue and $3.3 million increase in total operating expenses. Net Income: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $5.3 million, compared to $14.5 million net income for the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $5.8 million, compared to $11.3 million non-GAAP adjusted net income for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the decline in revenue of $3.6 million and increase in operating expenses of $1.9 million. Full Year 2025 Financial Guidance For the full year 2025, the Company expects to generate revenues of $118 to $128 million, representing growth of 11.3% to 20.8% over 2024 revenue, primarily driven by the anticipated commercial launches of Etorel and Contiva and sales of ETUARY®. Please note that total revenue guidance assumes a constant foreign currency exchange rate and no significant economic disruption or downturn.

In addition, the recent NMPA approval to initiate a clinical trial of pirfenidone in radiation-induced lung injury, including with or without immune-related pneumonitis, supports our ability to enter the oncology supportive care space with a novel, lung-protective therapy. We plan to initiate an adaptive Phase 2/3 trial in the second half of 2025 to advance this program through development.” First Quarter 2025 Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones Commercial Portfolio Expansion ETUARY® (pirfenidone): Delivered $21.7 million in Q1 sales. While sales declined year-over-year due to relatively high sales in the first quarter of 2024, ETUARY remains the market leader for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in the PRC. Nintedanib: Gyre remains on track to commercially launch nintedanib in May 2025, targeting multiple forms of fibrosing interstitial lung disease (“ILD”), including IPF, systemic sclerosis-associated ILD, and progressive fibrosing ILD. This is expected to expand Gyre’s share of the pulmonary fibrosis treatment landscape and support second-half 2025 revenue growth. Avatrombopag: Commercialization of avatrombopag was initiated in March 2025, expanding Gyre’s footprint in hepatology and hematology. Approved for thrombocytopenia in adults with chronic liver disease and immune thrombocytopenic purpura, the launch aligns with Gyre’s strategy to deepen clinical engagement with liver disease specialists and diversify the market of available products. Indication Expansion: Oncology Supportive Care Pirfenidone New Indication: In March 2025, Gyre received NMPA approval to initiate a clinical trial of pirfenidone for RILI, including cases complicated by CIP. This development positions pirfenidone for potential entry into oncology supportive care, with plans to begin an adaptive Phase 2/3 trial in the second half of 2025 across top oncology centers in China. Pipeline Development Updates F573: F573 is a caspase inhibitor and potential Category 1 new drug for the treatment of acute/acute on-chronic liver failure (“ALF/ACLF”). Completion of the Phase 2 clinical trial of F573 for ALF/ACLF is expected by the end of 2026. F573 is a caspase inhibitor and potential Category 1 new drug for the treatment of acute/acute on-chronic liver failure (“ALF/ACLF”). Completion of the Phase 2 clinical trial of F573 for ALF/ACLF is expected by the end of 2026. F230: F230, a selective endothelin receptor agonist for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (“PAH”), is expected to begin a Phase 1 trial in Q2 2025. F230, a selective endothelin receptor agonist for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (“PAH”), is expected to begin a Phase 1 trial in Q2 2025. F528: F528, a novel anti-inflammation agent with the potential to modify the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), is undergoing preclinical studies as a potential first-line therapy for the treatment of COPD. Gyre Pharmaceuticals plans to submit an IND application in 2026. F528, a novel anti-inflammation agent with the potential to modify the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), is undergoing preclinical studies as a potential first-line therapy for the treatment of COPD.

Corporate Updates In March 2025, Gyre appointed Ping Zhang as Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; he remains a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In March 2025, Gyre appointed Ping Zhang as Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors; he remains a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Financial Results Cash Position As of March 31, 2025, Gyre Therapeutics held $15.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $14.8 million in short-term bank deposits, and $21.4 million in long-term certificates of deposit, totaling $51.3 million. Gyre believes that its existing cash resources, combined with anticipated cash flow from commercial operations, will be sufficient to fund its operating and capital requirements for the next 12 months. Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $22.1 million, compared to $27.2 million in the same period last year. The $5.1 million decrease was primarily due to a $5.2 million decline in ETUARY® sales. This was anticipated, as early 2024 revenues were elevated by a one-time marketing campaign focused on rural expansion, which we did not repeat in 2025. The shift in marketing resources was deliberate, with funds reallocated to support the upcoming launches of Nintedanib and avatrombopag. Additionally, weaker economic conditions in China and increased competition in the IPF treatment market also contributed to the decline. Revenues from generic products decreased by $0.2 million, partially offset by $0.3 million in initial revenue from the March 2025 launch of avatrombopag.

About F351 (Hydronidone) F351 is a structural analogue of the approved anti-fibrotic IPF drug pirfenidone and has been shown to inhibit in vitro both p38γ kinase activity and TGF-β1-induced excessive collagen synthesis in hepatic stellate cells (“HSCs”), which are recognized as critical event in the development and progression of fibrosis in the liver. This is further supported by its anti-proliferative effects on the HSCs in the liver. In vitro anti-fibrotic effects of F351 were also confirmed in several established in vivo models of liver fibrosis such as CCI4-induced liver fibrosis mouse model, DMN-induced liver fibrosis rat model, and HSA-induced liver rat model, as well as mouse model of MASH fibrosis (CCI4+Western High Fat Diet). About Gyre Pharmaceuticals Gyre Pharmaceuticals is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative drugs for organ fibrosis.

We Think You Should Be Aware Of Some Concerning Factors In Gyre Therapeutics' (NASDAQ:GYRE) Earnings
The stock price didn't jump after Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:GYRE) posted decent earnings last week. We did some digging and believe investors may be worried about some underlying factors in the report. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. One key financial ratio used to measure how well a company converts its profit to free cash flow (FCF) is the accrual ratio. In plain english, this ratio subtracts FCF from net profit, and divides that number by the company's average operating assets over that period. This ratio tells us how much of a company's profit is not backed by free cashflow. Therefore, it's actually considered a good thing when a company has a negative accrual ratio, but a bad thing if its accrual ratio is positive. While having an accrual ratio above zero is of little concern, we do think it's worth noting when a company has a relatively high accrual ratio. To quote a 2014 paper by Lewellen and Resutek, "firms with higher accruals tend to be less profitable in the future". For the year to December 2024, Gyre Therapeutics had an accrual ratio of 0.32. We can therefore deduce that its free cash flow fell well short of covering its statutory profit, suggesting we might want to think twice before putting a lot of weight on the latter. Even though it reported a profit of US$12.1m, a look at free cash flow indicates it actually burnt through US$6.8m in the last year. We saw that FCF was US$17m a year ago though, so Gyre Therapeutics has at least been able to generate positive FCF in the past. Unfortunately for shareholders, the company has also been issuing new shares, diluting their share of future earnings. The good news for shareholders is that Gyre Therapeutics' accrual ratio was much better last year, so this year's poor reading might simply be a case of a short term mismatch between profit and FCF. Shareholders should look for improved cashflow relative to profit in the current year, if that is indeed the case. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates.

That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. To understand the value of a company's earnings growth, it is imperative to consider any dilution of shareholders' interests. In fact, Gyre Therapeutics increased the number of shares on issue by 9.7% over the last twelve months by issuing new shares. As a result, its net income is now split between a greater number of shares. Per share metrics like EPS help us understand how much actual shareholders are benefitting from the company's profits, while the net income level gives us a better view of the company's absolute size. Check out Gyre Therapeutics' historical EPS growth by clicking on this link. We don't have any data on the company's profits from three years ago. And even focusing only on the last twelve months, we don't have a meaningful growth rate because it made a loss a year ago, too. What we do know is that while it's great to see a profit over the last twelve months, that profit would have been better, on a per share basis, if the company hadn't needed to issue shares. So you can see that the dilution has had a bit of an impact on shareholders. In the long term, if Gyre Therapeutics' earnings per share can increase, then the share price should too. But on the other hand, we'd be far less excited to learn profit (but not EPS) was improving. For the ordinary retail shareholder, EPS is a great measure to check your hypothetical "share" of the company's profit. In conclusion, Gyre Therapeutics has weak cashflow relative to earnings, which indicates lower quality earnings, and the dilution means that shareholders now own a smaller proportion of the company (assuming they maintained the same number of shares). For the reasons mentioned above, we think that a perfunctory glance at Gyre Therapeutics' statutory profits might make it look better than it really is on an underlying level. With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. For example, we've found that Gyre Therapeutics has 2 warning signs (1 is potentially serious!) that deserve your attention before going any further with your analysis. In this article we've looked at a number of factors that can impair the utility of profit numbers, and we've come away cautious. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business.
