Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide certain financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), commonly referred to as non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings Per Share and certain other non-GAAP measures, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information on our operating performance. Adjustments to our GAAP figures exclude, as applicable, non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization. Certain other special items or substantive events may also be included in the non-GAAP adjustments periodically when their magnitude is significant within the periods incurred. Non-GAAP adjustments are tax effected to the extent there is US GAAP current tax expense. The Company currently records a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets, so there is no net impact recorded for deferred tax effects. We maintain an established non-GAAP policy that guides the determination of what items may be excluded in non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of our operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of our historical and expected financial results and trends and to facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators BeiGene’s management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used by BeiGene may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Overview
We achieved GAAP profitability in the first quarter of 2025 with continued global revenue growth. In the U.S., BRUKINSA remains the leader in new CLL patient starts across all lines of therapy, and for the first time has become the overall BTKi market share leader. We’ve made progress across our late-stage hematology and solid tumor pipelines, with multiple proof-of-concept readouts expected this year across our broad portfolio of antibody-drug conjugates, multispecific antibodies and targeted protein degraders.
Key highlights for the first quarter of 2025 are as follows:
• First quarter 2025 total revenues increased 49% to $1.1 billion with BRUKINSA® (zanubrutinib) global sales increasing 62%to $792 million on strong demand growth versus first quarter 2024
• Achieved GAAP profitability and significantly improved operating cash flow
• Advanced late-stage hematology and solid tumor pipelines with plan to host Investor R&D Day on June 26
• Secured shareholder approval to rename the Company to BeOne Medicines Ltd. and redomicile to Switzerland

Table of Contents
Global revenue for BRUKINSA totaled $791.7 million in the first quarter, representing a 62.1% increase compared to the prior-year period; U.S. revenue for BRUKINSA totaled $563.2 million in the first quarter, compared to $351.5 million in the prior-year period, representing growth of 60.2%, driven primarily by demand, with the quarter over quarter growth coming primarily from expanded use in CLL as BRUKINSA continued to gain share as the leader in new patient starts in the U.S. in CLL and all other approved indications. BRUKINSA revenue in Europe totaled $115.9 million in the first quarter, compared to $66.8 million in the prior-year period, representing growth of 73.4%, driven by increased market share across all major European markets, including Germany, Italy, Spain, France and the UK. BRUKINSA revenue in China totaled $81.1 million, representing growth of 41.3%. BRUKINSA rest of world revenue totaled $31.4 million in the first quarter, representing growth of 145.4% compared to the prior-year period.
Revenue for TEVIMBRA totaled $171.2 million in the first quarter, compared to $145.3 million in the prior-year period, representing a 17.8% increase.
Revenue for Amgen products in China totaled $114.1 million in the first quarter, compared to $71.9 million in the prior-year period, representing a 58.7% increase, driven primarily by increased XGEVA ® sales volume.
Collaboration revenue totaled $8.7 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily related to revenue generated under the Novartis broad markets marketing and promotion agreement and royalty revenue under the Amgen collaboration.
Gross Margin
Gross margin on global product sales increased to $943.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $622.0 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to increased product sales in the current year period. Gross margin as a percentage of product sales increased to 85.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 83.3% in the comparable period of the prior year. The gross margin percentage increased due to a proportionally higher sales mix of global BRUKINSA compared to other products in our portfolio. Gross margin also benefited from cost of sales productivity improvements for both BRUKINSA and TEVIMBRA. On an adjusted basis, which does not include depreciation and amortization, gross margin as a percentage of product sales increased to 85.5%, from 83.7% in the comparable period of the prior year.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense increased by $21.2 million, or 4.6%, to $481.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $460.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Table of Contents
The increase in external research and development expenses in the first quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in external costs of development programs primarily due to advancing preclinical programs into the clinic and early clinical programs into late stage, including Sonrotoclax (BCL2i), and slightly offset by lower development upfront and milestone fees.
Internal research and development expense increased modestly by $1.9 million, or 0.6%, to $291.1 million, and was primarily attributable to the expansion of our global development organization and our clinical and preclinical drug candidates, as well as our continued efforts to internalize research and clinical trial activities and control spend.

Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Reconciliation in this MD&A for more information about, and a detailed reconciliation of, these items.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $31.9 million, or 7.5%, to $459.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $427.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to continued investment in the global commercial expansion of BRUKINSA primarily in the U.S. and Europe. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of product sales were 41.4% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 57.2% in the prior-year period. We expect continued investment in selling and marketing activities as our product sales increase.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net decreased by $10.3 million, or 63.8%, to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $16.2 million for three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in interest income, net, was primarily attributable to decreased interest income resulting from lower interest rates on our cash and cash equivalents balance. Interest expense increased resulting from a higher debt balance and lower interest capitalized related to Hopewell construction in process.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to foreign exchange gains and government subsidy income, partially offset by unrealized losses on our equity investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other income, net was $1.8 million, primarily due to government subsidy income, partially offset by foreign exchange losses resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the RMB in the period and the revaluation impact of foreign currencies held in U.S. functional currency subsidiaries and unrealized losses on our equity investments.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was primarily attributable to current U.S. tax expense determined after other special tax deductions and research and development tax credits, current Switzerland tax expense based on year to date earnings, current China tax expense due to certain non-deductible expenses, and other intercompany discrete adjustments.
Net Income (Loss) and Earnings Per Share
GAAP net income improved for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to the prior-year period loss, primarily attributable to revenue growth and improved operating leverage.
For the first quarter of 2025, both basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.00 per share and $0.01 per American Depositary Share (“ADS”), respectively, compared to basic loss of $0.19 per share and $2.41 per ADS in the prior-year period.

(dollars in thousands)
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 2,530,591 $ 2,638,747
Total debt $ 923,627 $ 1,018,013
To date, we have financed our operations and investments in long-term assets principally through proceeds from public and private offerings of our securities, proceeds from debt and our collaborations, and since the third quarter of 2024 cash flow from operations. Based on our current operating plan, we expect that our operating cash flows and existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and planned long-term investments for at least the next 12 months after the date that the financial statements included in this report are issued. We have also financed our operations and investments with proceeds from debt primarily incurred through various banks by both our subsidiaries and the Parent Company of $923.6 million as of March 31, 2025. We paid down $97.1 million of the debt in the first quarter of 2025 using existing cash. The majority of those debt obligations, or approximately $670.5 million, owed by BeiGene, Ltd. mature within the next 12 months. We believe we will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents and other sources of capital to be able to repay and/or refinance those debt obligations on a consolidated basis.
On December 15, 2021, we completed our initial public offering on the STAR Market of the Shanghai Stock Exchange (the “STAR Offering”). As required by the PRC securities laws, the net proceeds from the STAR Offering must be used in compliance with the planned uses as disclosed in the PRC prospectus as well as our proceeds management policy for the STAR Offering approved by our board of directors. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash remaining related to the STAR Offering proceeds of $461.6 million.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period $ 2,530,591 $ 2,807,436
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities improved $352.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, versus the prior year period due to our significantly improved revenue and $325.6 million of increase in gross margin in the current year period, offset by continued funding of our development pipeline and commercial operations, increasing working capital to support our global expansion and the timing of compensation-related payments.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used $121.9 million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $209.8 million in the prior year period due primarily to a decrease in capital expenditures, partially offset by an increase in acquired in-process research and development.
Financing Activities
Financing activities used $33.8 million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $162.3 million of cash provided in the prior year period due primarily to a net reduction in short-term debt borrowings in the current year period, partially offset by higher proceeds from option exercises and employee share purchase plan.
Our borrowing and repayment cycle is dictated by the short-term maturities of our debt and the ability to increase our borrowings, if necessary, is dependent on interest rates, credit spreads, bank lending capacity and other factors. We expect to repay approximately $763.5 million of loans in the next 12 months and expect to be able to re-finance those on a consistent basis with our historical experience, with the cost of those borrowings depending on prevailing interest rates and credit spreads.

As noted above, we hold RMB denominated cash in our Parent Company (largely arising from the STAR Offering) and incur foreign currency gains or losses when remeasuring such cash to the U.S. dollar. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred realized gains on cash of $3.2 million that is included in the reconciling items between net income and net cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows primarily related to the remeasurement of RMB denominated cash to USD. The RMB denominated cash in our Parent Company, however, is required to be used to fund RMB denominated expenditures and thus foreign currency gains or losses on such cash does not affect our ability to fund those expenditures.
We also have substantial operations in China and Europe, where the functional currency is the RMB and Euro, and as such the net cash flows are translated to the U.S. dollar for financial reporting. This process generates translation gains and losses primarily on RMB-denominated cash held in China and Euro-denominted cash held in Europe that are included in the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on the consolidated statements of cash flows, as such translation gains and losses are excluded from cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.
Future Liquidity and Material Cash Requirements
Our material cash requirements in the short- and long-term consist of the following operational, capital, and manufacturing expenditures, a portion of which contain contractual or other obligations. We plan to fund our material cash requirements with cash on hand.

Operating Lease Commitments
We lease office facilities in the U.S. and Switzerland, and office and manufacturing facilities in China under non-cancelable operating leases expiring on various dates. Payments under operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. The aggregate future minimum payments under these non-cancelable operating leases are summarized in the table above.
Purchase Commitments
As of March 31, 2025, non-cancellable purchase commitments amounted to $152.9 million, of which $31.0 million related to minimum purchase requirements for supply purchased from contract manufacturers and $121.9 million related to binding purchase obligations of inventory from Amgen. We do not have any minimum purchase requirements for inventory from Amgen.
Debt Obligations and Interest
Total debt obligations coming due in the next twelve months are $763.5 million. Total long-term debt obligations are $160.2 million. We have numerous financial and non-financial covenants on our debt obligations with various banks and other lenders. Some of these covenants include default and/or cross-default provisions that could require acceleration of repayment of loans in the event of default. However, our debt is primarily short-term in nature. Any acceleration would be a matter of months but may impact our ability to refinance debt obligations if an event of default occurs. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants of our material debt agreements. See above regarding Liquidity and Capital Resources and Note 10 in the Notes to the Financial Statements for further detail of our debt obligations.
Interest on bank loans is paid quarterly until the respective loans are fully settled. For the purpose of contractual obligations calculation, current interest rates on floating rate obligations were used for the remainder contractual life of the outstanding borrowings.
Co-Development Funding Commitment
Under the Amgen collaboration, we are responsible for co-funding global development costs for the licensed Amgen oncology pipeline assets up to a total cap of $1.25 billion. We are funding our portion of the co-development costs by contributing cash and development services. As of March 31, 2025, our remaining co-development funding commitment was $295.1 million.
Funding Commitment
Funding commitment represents our committed capital related to two equity method investments. As of March 31, 2025, our remaining capital commitment was $5.9 million and is expected to be paid from time to time over the investment period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis, and our actual results may differ from these estimates. These include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets, estimating variable consideration in product sales and collaboration revenue arrangements, estimating the incremental borrowing rate for operating lease liabilities, identifying separate accounting units and the standalone selling price of each performance obligation in the Company’s revenue arrangements, assessing the impairment of long-lived assets, valuation and recognition of share-based compensation expenses, realizability of deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instruments. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, contractual milestones and other various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to those described in the section titled “Part I—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
For new accounting policies adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2025, see “Part I—Item 1—Financial Statements—Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Consolidation and Significant Accounting Policies—Significant accounting policies” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
