Wuxi AppTec (603259.SH/2359.HK) has delivered an annual report that significantly exceeded guidance, providing strong validation for its focused CRDMO (Contract Research, Development, and Manufacturing) strategy. The company's full-year 2025 revenue reached 45.456 billion yuan, setting a new historical high. The fourth quarter was particularly strong, achieving a single-quarter revenue record of 12.6 billion yuan, described as the "best quarter on record," capping off a period of high growth. All core performance metrics showed significant increases, with a remarkable improvement in earnings quality.

The announcement revealed that net profit attributable to shareholders surged by approximately 102.65% year-on-year. Even the adjusted Non-IFRS net profit attributable to shareholders, which better reflects the profitability of core operations, grew by a substantial 41.33%, significantly outpacing revenue growth. This indicates a structural enhancement in the company's profitability, laying a more solid foundation for increasing shareholder value. The effectiveness of this strategic focus is translating directly into tangible returns for shareholders.

Bolstered by record profits and consistent with its established cash dividend policy and frequency, Wuxi AppTec anticipates total cash dividends for 2026 to reach 5.71 billion yuan, a new historical peak. This represents not only a high level of return but also a firm commitment from management, reflecting confidence in future cash flows and a dedication to shareholder rewards.
