Dear shareholders, 2023 marked the first year of the implementation of the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress. China’s health undertakings made new significant achievements and the construction of healthy China accelerated. This year, the pharmaceuticals industry underwent all-sector, full-chain and full-coverage system governance, while industry-friendly policies were introduced frequently amidst challenges and opportunities. Driven by policy support, scientific and technological innovation, and market demand, the pharmaceutical industry system witnessed notable optimization and upgrading, with innovation-led and high-quality development emerging as the prevailing theme. In retrospect of 2023, Joincare adhered to its dual-drive strategy of innovative medicines and high- barrier complex formulations, focusing on the high-quality development of the principal pharmaceutical business. Overcoming challenges, Joincare not only achieved substantial achievements in research, production, and marketing, but also enhanced its overall R&D capabilities and innovation levels by leveraging business development channels to swiftly expand its R&D and innovation pipeline reserves, which laid a solid foundation for the Group to achieve comprehensive innovative transformation. Facing various challenges such as price reductions in key varieties due to volume-based procurementand intensified competition in the APIs market, all employees of the Group worked diligently and unitedly and made concerted efforts to achieve the Group’s annual business objectives. In 2023, the Group realized total revenues of RMB16.646 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 2.90%; realized a net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of RMB1.443 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 3.99%; and realized a net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company after deduction of the extraordinary gains and losses of RMB1.374 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 3.18%. We firmly believe that robust performance is the cornerstone of creating value for shareholders and we are committed to providing shareholders with excellent returns. Based on the operating results and overall financial position of the Group in 2023, the Board of Directors proposed that we continue to adopt a stable profit distribution scheme in 2023. Specifically, a cash dividend of RMB1.80 (tax inclusive) for every 10 shares will be distributed to all shareholders of the Company, based on the total number of shares on the equity registration date designated by the annual profit distribution plan for 2023. No bonus shares will be distributed and no conversion of capital reserve into share capital will be carried out. The profit distribution scheme for 2023 is yet to be reviewed and approved at the Company’s 2023 Annual General Meeting. In 2023, the Group further carried out and practiced the dual-drive strategy of innovative medicines and high-barrier complex formulations, implemented differentiated R&Dstrategy, and created a diversified product matrix and a rich pipeline. In terms of R&D innovation, the Group adhered to a development philosophy centered on R&D innovation, and differentially deployed innovative medicines and high-barrier complex formulations through self-research and introduction to achieve high-quality development. We continued to increase our R&D expenditures and made breakthroughs in the construction of several major platforms, including inhalation formulation, antibody, and sustained-release microspheres for injections. In 2023, the Group made great progress on various innovative medicines and high-barrier complex formulations in the R&D pipeline. In terms of innovative medicines, Ilaprazole Sodium for injection (注射用艾普拉唑钠) with new indication and indication were approved for launching; Recombinant SARS-COV-2 Bivalent (Original/Omicron XBB) Fusion Protein Vaccine (CHO Cell) (重組新型冠状病毒融合蛋白二价(原型株/Omicron XBB变异株)疫苗(CHO细胞)) was approved for EUA; and Aripiprazole Microspheres for Injection (注射用阿立哌唑微球) were applied for marketing launch. TG-1000 capsules and Recombinant Anti-human IL-17A/F Humanized Monoclonal Antibody Injection (重组抗人 IL-17A/F人源化单克隆抗体注射液) had commenced the phase III clinical trials.

We are deeply engaged in the construction of innovative R&D technology platforms for innovative and high-barrier complex formulations, so as to continuously improve our independent R&D capabilities and competitiveness. In December 2023, Meloxicam Nanocrystalline Injection (美洛昔康纳米晶注射液), which was independently developed by the Group, received approval for clinical trials. This success represents a significant breakthrough in the Group’s newly established R&D platform for complex injections, injecting fresh energy into the Group’s progress in this area. Meanwhile, Joincare Biopharmaceutical Research Institute also made a series of significant breakthroughs in the field of synthetic biology. As of the end of 2023, the Institute had applied for a total of 14 national invention patents (with 4 granted), 8 utility model patents (with 4 granted), Moreover, the Institute obtained 1 software copyright and published 2 high-level academic papers.

In the health care productsand OTC segment, the Group accomplished a successful marketing reform, showing robust growth in sales revenue. Through ongoing optimization and enhancement of its marketing strategy, which integrated online and offline channels, the Group established a data- driven DTC brand digital marketing system centered on user engagement.
