HONG KONG, Aug 20, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In the first half of 2025, the structural transformation of the pharmaceutical industry continued to deepen. Driven by favorable policies, product upgrades, and technological innovation, the vaccine industry maintained a stable and positive growth momentum. As a leading enterprise in China’s innovative vaccine sector, CanSino Biologics Inc.(688185.SH, 6185.HK; CanSinoBIO) once again delivered a solid performance.According to its 2025 interim report, CanSinoBIO achieved revenue of RMB 382 million in the first half, up 26% from a year earlier, extending its growth streak. Although the company has yet to turn profitable, losses have narrowed significantly, with the reduction exceeding 94% compared to the same period last year. This reflects improved operational quality and lays a solid foundation for steady full-year growth. With core products selling strongly and multiple pipeline programs advancing, CanSinoBIO’s long-term growth story is steadily taking shape.Meningococcal Vaccine Portfolio Continues to Scale, Unlocking Growth DriversCanSinoBIO’s two currently marketed meningococcal conjugate vaccines—the quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4, Menhycia) and the bivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV2, Menphecia)—remain the company’s key revenue drivers. In particular, the sustained scaling-up of MCV4 demonstrates strong market competitiveness and is central to CanSinoBIO’s growth narrative.In 2024, Menhycia and Menphecia together generated nearly RMB 800 million in sales revenue, representing year-on-year growth of over 40%. In the first half of 2025, driven by deeper channel penetration and higher terminal market coverage, the sales of both vaccines continued to grow steadily. During the same period, the company’s meningococcal vaccine portfolio generated sales of over RMB 364 million, representing more than 38% year-on-year growth and providing a solid foundation for earnings.As the only MCV4 in China, Menhycia effectively covers four meningococcal serogroups, 'ACYW135', and leverages the high-safety CRM197 carrier protein technology. With outstanding clinical immunogenicity and safety, it has become the preferred choice for many parents seeking meningococcal vaccination for their children.Furthermore, Menhycia’s market potential is still being unlocked. The vaccine has been submitted to the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for an expanded age indication—from the current “children aged 3 months to 3 years (47 months)” to “children aged 3 months to 6 years (83 months).” If approved, this will directly broaden its coverage, strengthen penetration in the non-national immunization program market, and inject greater certainty into CanSinoBIO’s growth over the next two to three years, further consolidating the company’s leadership in the meningococcal vaccine field.iPneucia Officially Launched, a New Benchmark for Differentiated Pneumococcal VaccineIn June, CanSinoBIO’s self-developed product — the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13, iPneucia) — was officially approved for market launch, marking the company’s entry into the RMB 10 billion-plus pneumococcal vaccine market and the beginning of a new growth cycle.Pneumococcal diseases remain a serious global public health concern, with particularly high morbidity and mortality rates among children under five years old. Addressing the remaining immunization gaps in China, the launch of iPneucia fills the domestic technological void in high-end 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, demonstrating CanSinoBIO’s leadership in differentiated innovation.Compared with existing competing products in the market, iPneucia achieves breakthroughs in three major dimensions. First, it offers more targeted protection, focusing on four high-risk serotypes—19F, 19A, 7F, and 3 - that together account for over 60% of pneumococcal disease cases among Chinese children. Clinical trial data show that its Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of antibodies is significantly higher than that of competing products. Second, in carrier protein technology, it adopts the globally pioneering CRM197+TT dual-carrier technology, overcoming the immune interference limitations of single-carrier vaccines. This both reduces the risk of immune suppression when co-administered with other vaccines and significantly enhances immunogenicity. Finally, in manufacturing safety, iPneucia uses an animal component - free fermentation process, reducing risks associated with animal-derived biological factors. It also employs no formaldehyde detoxification and adds no phenol during production, significantly improving vaccine safety.With these three advantages, iPneucia could potentially become another “ace” for CanSinoBIO in the infant bacterial vaccine market, following Menhycia. Notably, iPneucia shares a highly overlapping target population with Menhycia, creating strong channel synergies that will accelerate commercialization and enable the company to quickly capture market share in the RMB 10 billion-plus pneumococcal vaccine segment.Combination Vaccine Strategy Progresses SteadilyBeyond this, CanSinoBIO’s long-term potential lies in its continued build-out of a “Combination Vaccine” portfolio. Compared with traditional monovalent vaccines, multi-conjugate vaccine and polyvalent vaccine can prevent multiple diseases with a single injection, significantly improving vaccination efficiency and willingness - representing a key global direction in vaccine technology development.Following the quadrivalent vaccine Menhycia and multi-valent vaccine iPneucia, CanSinoBIO’s DTcP-Hib-MCV4 pentavalent vaccine—a representative combination vaccine—has attracted strong market attention. In February this year, it received clinical trial approval, marking a “zero-to-one” breakthrough for the company in the high-end combination vaccine sector.The DTcP-Hib-MCV4 pentavalent vaccine can simultaneously prevent pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease, and infection by the four meningococcal serogroups (ACYW135), achieving “protection against five diseases with a single shot”. This significantly reduces the number of injections and improves compliance among infants. More importantly, its core component Menhycia has already undergone commercial validation in China and enjoys a strong reputation, providing robust support for the combination vaccine’s development. This “point-to-surface” product upgrade logic enables CanSinoBIO to advance in the combination vaccine market with greater efficiency and confidence. With the government placing high importance on combination vaccine R&D and offering policy support, CanSinoBIO is well-positioned to capture this high-value market.R&D-Driven Growth with a Clear Product Pipeline and Strong ReservesWhile consolidating its existing market advantages, CanSinoBIO continues to strengthen its mid-to-long-term growth momentum through robust R&D capabilities and differentiated pipeline planning.Its DTcP for infants and young children has entered priority review and is expected to fill a domestic market gap. The Tdcp for people aged 6 years old and above has completed Phase III subject enrollment, enabling full life-cycle immunization coverage. The tetanus vaccine’s registration application has been accepted, and it is expected to offer superior safety and immunogenicity data compared with existing products. The Recombinant Poliomyelitis Vaccine, funded by Gates Foundation, has initiated clinical trials in Indonesia and has also received domestic clinical trial approval. Globally innovative Protein Based Pneumococcal Vaccine (PBPV) and inhaled tuberculosis vaccines have entered clinical research and proof-of-concept validation.The company has now built a rich pipeline covering multiple technology platforms and full life-cycle segments, including meningococcal vaccines, pneumococcal vaccines, diphtheria tetanus pertussis vaccine, polio vaccines, tuberculosis vaccines, and zoster vaccine. Several major products are entering critical stages of registration review or clinical trials. Meanwhile, CanSinoBIO’s continuous breakthroughs in key technology platforms support a strategic shift from reliance on single products to sustained pipeline output.Overall, in the first half of 2025, CanSinoBIO maintained the strong growth momentum seen since 2024, proving that its closed-loop capabilities from product R&D to commercialization have become increasingly mature. Against the backdrop of ongoing national policy support for innovative vaccines and domestic high-end vaccine substitution, CanSinoBIO — leveraging its solid R&D foundation, differentiated pipeline layout, and efficient commercialization execution—is accelerating the realization of its long-term growth potential and moving steadily toward becoming a global leader in innovative vaccines.CanSinoBIO, https://www.cansinotech.com [SSE:688185, HKG:6185, OTC:CASBF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 20, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hengdeli Holdings Limited (“Hengdeli” or the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 3389) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 ("the period under review"). In the first half of 2025, the global environment remained complex and volatile, with uncertainties such as increasing trade barriers, intensifying trade frictions and continuing geopolitical conflicts weighing on the momentum of global economic growth. Under these pressures, China’s economic growth slowed down but maintained stable amidst multiple domestic and external challenges. Still, the country's economy remained resilient as it carried on with steady and sound development. In the face of a complex and volatile operating environment, the Group has adapted its business to market changes by adhering to the principle of “sound, steady and long-term operations” in order to preserve its market position and pursue new opportunities as well as make every effort to safeguard the interests of its shareholders.During the review period, the Group recorded revenue of RMB314,314,000 (six months ended 30 June 2024: RMB580,361,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 45.8%; high-end consuming accessories business recorded revenue of RMB248,095,000 (six months ended 30 June 2024: RMB352,339,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 29.6%; commodity trading revenue amounted to RMB66,219,000 (six months ended 30 June 2024: RMB228,022,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 71.0%. During the period under review, the Group recorded a profit of RMB26,033,000 (six months ended 30 June 2024: profit of RMB499,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 5,117.0%. Profit attributable to equity shareholders amounted to RMB26,308,000 (six months ended 30 June 2024: loss of RMB2,504,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 1,150.6%. The profit was mainly attributable to foreign exchange gains incurred by the operating units as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.During the period under review, in view of uncertainties in the international market and the slowdown in domestic economic growth, the Group’s high-end consuming accessories business continued to face pressure. The Group has taken various measures to cope with the complicated operating environment, and continued to broaden its business models, acquire new customers and develop new products through innovative approaches. At the same time, the Group has enhanced its technological innovation capabilities, accelerated its mechanization, and standardized and strengthened its information and automation management. All these measures have yielded effective results and improved our ability to cope with risks. During the period under review, the sales performance and profit of the high-end consuming accessories business both recorded year-on-year decreases due to the impact of the operating environment.In terms of international trading, during the period under review, the Group continued to carry out the international commodity trading business in line with its established strategy. The business mainly covers the importation of iron ore, thermal coal and coking coal to Mainland China. Global demand for iron ore grew at a slower pace and prices weakened due to dampening economic prospects as a result of trade frictions. Impacted by fluctuating decline in sales prices of ore sand and weakened customer purchasing intentions, the sales and gross profits of the international commodity trading business decreased as compared to the same period last year but still maintained profitability. The Group planned to establish a bulk cargo transshipment logistics park in Mexico integrating customs clearance, import, transportation and warehousing, and has initiated collaborations with and provided services to multiple large-scale enterprises and listed companies in China. In the second half of the year, the Group will continue to keep abreast of market dynamics, promptly and prudently carry out international commodity trading activities and explore new profit models and future development directions, in order to lay a solid foundation for the Group’s sustainable development.In terms of international shipping, during the period under review, the Group’s international shipping business mainly focused on the global maritime transportation of dry bulk cargo, such as coal, iron ore, manganese ore, bauxite, grain and industrial salt. Our clientele includes internationally renowned mining enterprises and large central state-owned enterprises and listed companies in China. During the period under review, the global dry bulk shipping market was volatile, which affected the freight rates. The Group closely monitored the market conditions, continued to expand its business by developing new customers and signing long voyage transportation contracts with its customers to lock in long-term profits for the Company. In the first half of the year, affected by market fluctuations, both the revenue and profit of the Group’s shipping business recorded a decline.At present, the international political and economic environment is experiencing increased turbulence, with trade barriers and trade frictions worsening. Facing this severe external environment, the economy of Mainland China is also encountering difficulties and challenges, including insufficient demand, sluggish consumption awaiting stimulation, and ongoing structural adjustments. Nevertheless, the economy of Mainland China has a stable foundation, strong resilience and great potential, and the long-term positive development trajectory remains unchanged. With the implementation and refinement of various policies and measures by the Chinese government, we maintain full confidence in the long-term sustainable economic growth of Mainland China.In the second half of the year, the Group will adhere to the principle of “sound, steady, and long-term operations”, and will leverage the stable business environment in Mainland China that “pursues stability while seeking progress” to keep abreast of the market trend and further advance the progress of international trade business prudently and steadily. Additionally, the Group will continuously expand the shipping business, which is closely related to international trade, and strive to become an important participant in the international shipping supply chain, so as to provide support for the breakthroughs in corporate development.The Group will also adapt to changing market demands and continuously enhance its integrated service capabilities in commercial space for both Mainland China and international markets. We will adjust the manufacturing of high-end accessories for renowned watches while promoting a limited number of diversified business activities and expanding high-end consuming accessories manufacturing to other high-end lifestyle products, such as jewellery, eyeglasses, cosmetics, mobile phones and other 3C products. Additionally, we will expand our commercial space beautification services to living space beautification services, thus becoming an indispensable and independent segment in the ecological chain of high-end consuming accessories.

香港，2025年8月20日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 亨得利控股有限公司（「亨得利」或「公司」及其子公司「集團」，股票代號：3389）宣佈截至2025年6月30日止6個月（「回顧期內」）之中期業績。2025年上半年，全球環境依舊錯綜複雜，貿易壁壘增加、貿易摩擦加劇、地緣政治衝突等不確定性因素使全球經濟增長動能偏弱。中國經濟增速在內外多重挑戰中有所放緩，但仍實現穩定增長，體現了中國經濟的韌性，穩中向好的態勢得以繼續。面對複雜多變的經營環境，本集團以「行穩致遠」為準則，順應市場調整業務，保生存、求發展，努力維護股東的利益。回顧期內，本集團收入錄得314,314,000元（人民幣，下同；2024年6月30日止六個月為580,361,000元），較去年同期下降了45.8%；高端消費配套業務等收入為248,095,000元（2024年6月30日止六個月為352,339,000元），較去年同期下降了29.6%；大宗商品貿易收入為66,219,000元（2024年6月30日止六個月為228,022,000元），較去年同期下降了71.0%。於回顧期，本集團錄得溢利，溢利額為26,033,000元（截至2024年6月30日六個月溢利: 499,000元），較去年同期上升了5,117.0%；而股份持有人應佔溢利為26,308,000元（截至2024年6月30日六個月虧損：2,504,000元），較去年同期上升了1,150.6%。盈利的主要原因是匯率波動導致營運單位產生外匯兌換收益。回顧期內，面臨國際市場不確定性及國內經濟增長放緩，本集團高端消費配套業務發展持續承壓。集團採取多種措施應對複雜的經營環境，通過創新的方式，不斷拓寬業務模式，拓展新客戶，開發新產品。同時，提升技術創新水準，加快了機械化步伐；規範和加強資訊化及自動化管理。各項措施均取得了成效，提升應對風險的能力。回顧期內，由於經營環境因素影響，高端消費配套業務的銷售業績及利潤與去年同比均有所下降。國際貿易方面，回顧期內，本集團根據既定戰略繼續開展國際大宗商品貿易業務。業務範圍主要涵蓋鐵礦石、動力煤及焦煤向中國內地的進口。由於貿易摩擦衝擊經濟前景，全球鐵礦石需求增速放緩，價格疲軟。受礦砂銷售價格的波動下降及客戶購買意願減弱等因素的影響，國際大宗商品貿易業務之銷售額及毛利較去年同期均有所下滑，但仍然維持了正面營收。集團計劃於墨西哥建設的一個集清關、進口、運輸、倉儲於一體的大宗貨物中轉物流園區，已經與多個中國大型企業與上市公司展開合作並提供服務。下半年，集團將繼續緊跟市場動態，適時而謹慎地開展國際大宗商品貿易活動，尋求新的盈利模式和未來發展方向，為集團的健康生存與發展奠定堅實基礎。國際海運方面，回顧期內，集團國際海運業務主要專注於全球大宗乾散貨物的海洋運輸，貨種涵蓋煤炭、鐵礦石、錳礦石、鋁釩土、糧食及工業鹽等大宗貨物，服務的客戶包括國際知名礦山和中國大型中央企業及上市公司等。回顧期內，全球乾散貨航運市場波動大，運價受到影響。集團緊貼市場行情，繼續拓展業務，努力發展新客戶，與客戶致力於簽訂長航次運輸合同，為公司鎖定長期利潤。上半年，受市場波動的影響，集團海運業務收入與利潤均出現下滑。當前，國際政治、經濟環境動盪不安因素加劇，貿易壁壘和貿易摩擦形勢嚴峻。面對嚴峻的外部環境，中國內地經濟也面臨一定的困難和挑戰，需求端不足，消費端有待提振，結構性調整仍在持續。然而，中國內地經濟基礎穩、韌性強、潛能大，長期向好的發展趨勢未發生改變。隨著中國政府各項政策措施的實施與完善，對未來中國內地經濟長期持續發展態勢仍然充滿信心。下半年，本集團將堅持「行穩致遠、持續經營」之原則，依託中國內地「穩中求進、以進促穩」的經濟環境，緊貼市場，謹慎而穩妥地持續推進國際貿易業務，並不斷擴展與國際貿易密切相關的海運業務，力爭成為國際海運供應鏈中的重要一員，為企業的突破性發展提供助力。集團亦將順應市場需求，面向中國內地和國際雙市場，不斷提升商業空間一體化服務水準。我們將調整高端名表配套產品的生產，同時推進有限多元化業務，拓展高端消費配套生產至其他高端生活品領域，如珠寶、眼鏡、化妝品、手機及其他3C產品，並將商業空間美化服務擴展至生活空間美化服務，從而在高端消費配套生態鏈中成為不可或缺的獨立環節。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
