The total number of integrated projects rose to a new height of 588 with 136 new integrated projects added to the pipeline,including 127 non-COVID projects. 37 late-phase projects and 17 commercial manufacturing projects,all of which laid a solid foundation for future growth.

The "Win-the-Molecule" strategy continued to drive additional pipeline growth,contributing 11 external projects,including 5 late-phase and commercial manufacturing projects,which will solidify both short-and long-term growth. Beginning in the second half of 2022,the Group has been in active negotiations with large pharma for more than 10 late-phase/commercial projects,and has successfully signed three projects in 2H 2022 through its "Win-the-Molecule" strategy with more potentials are expected.

Total backlog and milestone backlog increased to US$20,571 million and US$7,032 million as of Dec 31,2022,hitting a new record and underpinning sustained growth in both short and long-term.

The Group and GSK entered into a license agreement on multiple novel Bi- & Multi-specific T Cell Engagers,a strong testament of the Group's research capabilities,the 'R' in the Group's CRDMO business model.

The Group is well-positioned to continue exceptional growth due to its robust non-COVID pipeline. As of Dec 31,the number of non-COVID-19 projects grew to almost 550 with a 63% y-o-y revenue increase. The momentum will continue in the long run.

Late-phase and commercial manufacturing revenue increased to RMB6,854.3 million,accounting for 44.9% of total revenue in 2022,demonstrating the stickiness of biologics CRDMO and reaping the fruition of the Group's "Follow and Win the Molecule" strategies.

During the Shanghai COVID outbreak in 1H 2022 and following the relief of zero-COVID restrictions in 2H 2022,the Group minimized business disruptions through its excellent operational resilience and a well-established Business Continuity Plan.
