Zhengye Biotechnology Holding Limited Announces Fiscal Year 2025 Financial ResultsApril 28, 2026 4:30 PM
PR Newswire (US)
JILIN, China, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zhengye Biotechnology Holding Limited (Nasdaq: ZYBT) (the "Company" or "Zhengye"), a veterinary vaccine manufacturer that encompasses research, development, manufacturing, and sales of veterinary vaccines, with a focus on livestock vaccines in China, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.Mr. Songlin Song, co-chief executive officer of Zhengye, remarked, "Fiscal year 2025 was a year of resilience for Zhengye. While the broader hog market experienced low and volatile price fluctuations and government macro-control policies contributed to near-term pressure on swine vaccine demand, we remained focused on executing our strategy and driving long-term value creation. We are encouraged by the continued growth in our other vaccines segment, particularly vaccines for sheep, which contributed to improving our revenue mix. On the international front, we made progress in advancing vaccine registrations in certain overseas markets, including Egypt, Pakistan, and Vietnam, supporting our long-term expansion strategy.""We continued to prioritize research and development as a core driver of our future growth. In 2025, we achieved several regulatory milestones, including the approval of two National Category I New Veterinary Drugs and one National Category III New Veterinary Drug from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. We also secured new product approvals across multiple animal species, including swine, poultry, cattle, and sheep, further broadening our commercial offerings. We believe these achievements reflect our ongoing innovation efforts and support our long-term growth strategy."Mr. Aiden Han, co-chief executive officer of Zhengye, added, "With our Nasdaq listing, we further strengthened our capital base and financial position, providing a foundation to support our strategic priorities. We ended the year with a stronger cash position of RMB50.3 million, representing an increase from the prior year, which is expected to enhance our ability to invest in research and development, expand our product portfolio, and support future growth initiatives.""Looking ahead, we are encouraged by early signs of a gradual recovery in China's swine market, with industry expectations pointing to a potential price inflection point around mid-year in 2026. We aim to deepen strategic customer engagement, strengthen our product portfolio, expand our customer service ecosystem, and selectively pursue opportunities in the companion animal sector as a new growth driver. We believe these initiatives, together with our operational foundation, will support our ability to navigate industry cycles. We are grateful for the support of our shareholders, customers, and partners, and remain committed to building on our progress as we navigate this period and lay a foundation for Zhengye's long-term growth."Fiscal Year 2025 Financial SummaryNet revenue was RMB116.4 million (US$16.6 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB186.4 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Gross profit was RMB23.9 million (US$3.4 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB91.3 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Gross profit margin was 20.5% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 49.0% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Total operating expenses were RMB94.4 million (US$13.5 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB74.9 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Net loss was RMB83.0 million (US$11.9 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of RMB13.5 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Basic and diluted loss per share was RMB1.47 (US$0.21) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of RMB0.25 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Fiscal Year 2025 Financial ResultsNet RevenueNet revenue was RMB116.4 million (US$16.6 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 37.6% from RMB186.4 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

100 Revenue from sales of swine vaccines was RMB90.1 million (US$12.9 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, decreased from RMB157.8 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a downturn in the hog market in 2025, characterized by low and volatile prices. Additionally, government macro-control policies aimed at reducing the inventory of productive sows to alleviate periodic oversupply contributed to the reduced demand for swine vaccines.Revenue from sales of poultry vaccines was RMB12.5 million (US$1.8 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, decreased from RMB15.5 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to normal market fluctuations.Revenue from sales of other vaccines was RMB13.7 million (US$2.0 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, increased from RMB13.1 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in sales of other vaccines was caused by the increased sales of the vaccines for sheep. Cost of RevenueCost of revenue was RMB92.5 million (US$13.2 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 2.7% from RMB95.1 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the cost of swine vaccines.Gross ProfitGross profit was RMB23.9 million (US$3.4 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, decreased from RMB91.3 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Gross profit margin was 20.5% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, decreased from 49.0% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, mainly due to the lower sales price and unchanged fixed cost.Operating ExpensesTotal operating expenses were RMB94.4 million (US$13.5 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, increased from RMB74.9 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Sales and marketing expenses were RMB43.9 million (US$6.3 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, increased from RMB41.3 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to higher payroll for sales staffs, and increased advertising expenses and entertainment, partially offset by a decrease in marketing promotion expenses.General and administrative expenses were RMB31.0 million (US$4.4 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, increased from RMB22.6 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in general and administrative expenses was attributed to the increase in professional technical services and in depreciation and amortization.Research and development expenses were RMB18.0 million (US$2.6 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, increased from RMB12.8 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in research and development expenses mainly resulted from an increase in research and development projects, which led to an increase in materials.Net Income (Loss) Net loss was RMB83.0 million (US$11.9 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of RMB13.5 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per ShareBasic and diluted loss per share was RMB1.47 (US$0.21) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of RMB0.25 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Financial ConditionAs of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of RMB50.3 million (US$7.2 million), compared to RMB18.6 million as of December 31, 2024.Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB13.3 million (US$1.9 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB41.0 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Net cash used in investing activities was RMB12.6 million (US$1.8 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB27.7 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Net cash provided by financing activities was RMB32.3 million (US$4.6 million) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net cash used in financing activities of RMB22.1 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.Exchange Rate InformationThis announcement contains translations of certain foreign currency amounts into U.S. dollars for the convenience of the reader.
