Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Gyre Therapeutics reported Q2 2026 revenue of $29.1 million, down 2% from Q2 2025, and GAAP basic EPS of $(0.12). Net loss widened to $14.3 million from a $2.2 million loss, while non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $12.2 million versus $0.6 million a year earlier.

For the first half of 2026, revenue was $53.5 million compared with $60.3 million in 2025, with net loss of $32.8 million versus net income of $2.7 million. Cash, deposits, investments and long-term certificates of deposit totaled $103.2 million as of June 30, 2026. Financial statements were retrospectively recast to treat Gyre and Cullgen as entities under common control.

Key developments included completion of an all-stock acquisition of Cullgen valued at about $300 million, acceptance by China’s CDE of the NDA for F351 for CHB-induced liver fibrosis, continued growth of pirfenidone sales to $28.0 million in Q2, and expanded R&D spending, including F351 Phase 3C costs and milestone payments.

Positive

  • F351 NDA accepted in China: China’s CDE accepted the NDA for F351 (hydronidone) for CHB-induced liver fibrosis, following earlier priority review status, marking a key regulatory milestone for Gyre’s lead development asset.
  • Cullgen acquisition adds TPD/DAC pipeline: Gyre closed an all-stock acquisition of Cullgen valued at about $300 million, gaining targeted protein degrader and degrader-antibody conjugate programs and strengthening its oncology and inflammation portfolio.
  • Core pirfenidone franchise growing: Pirfenidone sales in China rose to $28.0 million in Q2 2026 from $23.5 million a year earlier, demonstrating continued commercial traction for Gyre Pharmaceuticals’ flagship IPF product.

Negative

  • Sharp swing to losses: For the first half of 2026, results deteriorated from $2.7 million net income to a $32.8 million net loss, driven by higher R&D, transaction costs and reduced collaboration revenue.
  • Elevated R&D and transaction spending: Q2 2026 research and development expense more than doubled to $19.1 million, and first-half transaction costs reached $6.9 million, significantly pressuring profitability and cash usage.
  • Cash balance declined 11%: Total cash, deposits, investments and long-term certificates of deposit fell to $103.2 million at June 30, 2026 from $116.1 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting higher operating and deal-related outflows.

Employee Count roughly 740 employees Headcount of combined company after Cullgen acquisition
New Drug Application (NDA) regulatory
"CDE of China’s NMPA accepted its New Drug Application (NDA) for F351"
A new drug application (NDA) is a formal request submitted to regulatory authorities to gain approval for a new medication to be sold and used by the public. It is a comprehensive review process that examines the drug’s safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality. For investors, an NDA approval can signal a potential breakthrough product and influence a company's stock value.
priority review status regulatory
"following the priority review status for F351 granted by the NMPA"
A regulatory designation that speeds up the review of a drug, biologic, or medical device application because the therapy could address an unmet medical need or offer a meaningful improvement over existing options. For investors, it signals a shorter, more predictable timeline to a potential market decision and reduced regulatory uncertainty—like an express lane at the agency that can move a candidate toward approval and commercialization faster than the standard review process.
targeted protein degrader technical
"Cullgen, a portfolio of targeted protein degraders and degrader-antibody conjugates"
A targeted protein degrader is a designed molecule that sticks to a specific disease-related protein and recruits the cell’s natural disposal machinery to remove that protein instead of merely blocking it. Think of it like tagging a broken appliance so the recycling service takes it away rather than just turning it off. For investors, this strategy can open treatments against proteins that were previously hard to drug, creating new commercial opportunities and clear value inflection points tied to clinical progress.
degrader antibody conjugates (DACs) technical
"Additional candidates include degrader antibody conjugates (DACs), next generation of ADCs"
Degrader antibody conjugates (DACs) are engineered molecules that pair an antibody’s ability to find a specific cell or protein with a linked agent that triggers that target’s destruction inside the cell, rather than just blocking it. Like a guided removal crew that locates and disposes of a faulty part, DACs can tackle disease-causing proteins that are hard to drug, which can create significant therapeutic upside and development risk for investors.
non-GAAP adjusted net income financial
"This release presents the financial measure “adjusted net income,” which is not calculated in accordance with GAAP"
A company’s non-GAAP adjusted net income is its reported profit after management removes certain expenses or gains that it considers one-time, nonrecurring, or not part of core operations (for example, restructuring costs or stock-based pay). Investors watch it as an attempt to show the company’s ongoing earning power — like looking at a cleaned-up weekly budget — but because companies choose what to exclude, it’s important to compare the underlying details rather than the headline number alone.

Gyre Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2026 and Year-to-Date Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Q2 2026 revenue of $29.1 million; GAAP basic EPS: $(0.12)

Full year 2026 revenue guidance of $100.5 to $111.0 million affirmed

NDA for F351 (hydronidone) for CHB-induced liver fibrosis accepted by China’s CDE in May 2026

 

SAN DIEGO, August 7, 2026 -- Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. (Gyre, Gyre Therapeutics or the Company) (Nasdaq: GYRE), an innovative, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company with operations in the United States and China, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided a business update.

Dr. Ying Luo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gyre Therapeutics, commented, “I am very pleased with Gyre's progress over this last quarter, the highlights of which include the acquisition of Cullgen with its robust degrader pipeline and strong executive team, the NMPA acceptance of an NDA for F351 for CHB liver fibrosis, Gyre's second major product candidate after ETUARYTM, and increased sales from our Gyre Pharmaceuticals division, which demonstrates our commercialization capabilities.”

 

Second Quarter Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones

Commercial Products:

ETUARYTM (pirfenidone), the Company's primary product approved in China for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), generated $28.0 million in sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $23.5 million for the same period in 2025. EtorelTM (nintedanib ethanesulfonate soft capsules), which was launched in June 2025 and is indicated for systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), generated $0.3 million in sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2025. ContivaTM (avatrombopag maleate tablets), launched in March 2025 and indicated for thrombocytopenia in adults with chronic liver disease and immune thrombocytopenic purpura, generated $0.9 million in sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2025.

Pipeline Development Updates

F351 (hydronidone):

In May 2026, Gyre announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted its New Drug Application (NDA) for F351 (hydronidone) as a treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-induced liver fibrosis. The acceptance came after Gyre submitted the NDA through its majority-owned subsidiary Gyre Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (Gyre Pharmaceuticals) following the priority review status for F351 granted by the NMPA in March.

Pirfenidone (ETUARYTM):

A Phase 3 trial of pirfenidone for the treatment of pneumoconiosis (PD) in the People's Republic of China (PRC) completed enrollment in 2025. A total of 272 patients were enrolled evaluating the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks of pirfenidone capsule treatment in patients with PD versus placebo. The final patient is expected to complete the study by the fourth quarter of 2026.

In April 2026, Gyre initiated its adaptive Phase 2/3 clinical trial in oncology-related pulmonary complications, with the first patient enrolled. The trial is evaluating pirfenidone for radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), including cases complicated by immune-related pneumonitis, at leading oncology centers.

Dr. Luo added, “Following the close of our acquisition of Cullgen, we gained a portfolio of targeted protein degraders and degrader-antibody conjugates, while also expanding our pipeline into cancer, inflammatory diseases, cancer pain and solid tumors. We now have a full-spectrum pipeline consisting of clinical and IND-enabling assets to address multiple therapeutic areas with a focus on fibrosis and inflammatory diseases, plus a next-generation TPD/DAC platform to complement our legacy, commercial-stage fibrosis platform. We believe the latter provides long-term upside, especially with our China-based innovation capabilities driving cost efficiencies for early-stage development.”

Cullgen Acquisition Closes in the Second Quarter of 2026

On May 4, 2026, Gyre Therapeutics acquired Cullgen Inc. (Cullgen) in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $300 million and Cullgen became a wholly owned subsidiary of Gyre. Upon the closing of this transaction, Cullgen's former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dr. Ying Luo, was appointed President and CEO of Gyre and joined Gyre's Board. Additionally, Yue Xiong, former Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of Cullgen, was appointed CSO of Gyre, Thomas Eastling, former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Cullgen, was appointed CFO of Gyre, and Ping Zhang was named Chairman. The combined company remains headquartered in San Diego with subsidiaries in Beijing and Shanghai, with roughly 740 employees, and numerous announced therapeutic programs spanning inflammation/pain and cancer.

The transaction has been accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively recast for all periods presented during which the Company and Cullgen were under common control to reflect the combined financial position and results of operations of the Company and Cullgen as if the common-control transfer had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Updates on Programs in Development Following Cullgen Acquisition

CG001419 for cancer pain and solid tumors: Following the successful completion of a Phase 1 study in Australia of 78 healthy volunteers in December 2025, Gyre is now planning a Phase 2 study to further evaluate CG001419 in cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) or other metastatic cancer pain syndromes.

CG001419 continues to separately be evaluated in a Phase 1 trial in China for the treatment of solid tumors.

CG009301 for AML: The second product candidate from Cullgen, CG009301, is a GSPT1 Degrader for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This candidate continues to be studied in a Phase 1 dose-escalation trial being conducted in China in patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies.

Dual-degrader programs, next-generation TPDs: Gyre expects to submit Investigational New Drug (IND) applications in the United States and/or China in the first quarter of 2027 for two additional Cullgen degrader assets: CG923308, a CDK2-Cyclin E dual degrader for solid tumor indications, and CG620953, a TYK2-JAK1 dual degrader for autoimmune diseases.

DACs, next-generation ADCs: Additional candidates include degrader antibody conjugates (DACs), which are considered to be the next generation of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and which are in development to target both solid tumors and hematological malignancies by pairing distinct protein degraders with tumor-specific antibodies.

Financial Results

Cash Position

As of June 30, 2026, Gyre held $43.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, $14.1 million in short-term bank deposits, $17.5 million in short-term investment, and $28.4 million in long-term certificates of deposit, totaling $103.2 million. Compared to $116.1 million as of December 31, 2025, total cash decreased by $12.9 million, or 11%, primarily driven by a decrease in short-term investment of $10.6 million.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026

Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $29.1 million, compared to $29.7 million for the same period in 2025, representing a $0.6 million, or 2%, decrease. Gyre Pharmaceuticals revenue increased during the period, primarily driven by higher ETUARYTM sales volumes resulting from ETUARYTM focused marketing efforts, despite lower ContivaTM and EtorelTM product revenues earned following the implementation of China's national centralized procurement program. The increase was offset by a $3.0 million decrease in collaboration revenue from the Collaboration, Option, and License Agreement with Astellas Pharma Inc. (the Astellas Agreement) which ended in March 2026, resulting in an overall decrease in revenues of $0.6 million, or 2%, compared to the prior-year period.
Cost of Revenues: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, cost of revenues was $2.2 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.0 million, or 92%, increase was primarily driven by a $0.7 million increase in production costs associated with EtorelTM products, a $0.2 million increase in production costs for ETUARYTM, and a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense.
Selling and Marketing Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, selling and marketing expense was $13.8 million, compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.4 million, or 9%, decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.5 million decrease in promotional and conference expenses as certain promotional objectives were achieved in the first quarter of 2026, reducing spending in the second quarter, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses, and a $0.5 million increase in personnel-related costs, primarily due to increased sales commissions resulting from higher sales volumes during the second quarter of 2026.
Research and Development Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, research and development expense was $19.1 million, compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2025. The $10.8 million, or 129%, increase was primarily related to a $4.7 million increase in external clinical research expenses, mainly attributable to the F351 Phase 3C experimental review expense; a $4.8 million increase for the milestone payment Gyre Pharmaceuticals owed to GNI Group Ltd. (GNI) related to China's NMPA acceptance of NDA for F351 as a treatment for CHB-induced liver fibrosis; a $0.7 million increase in pre-clinical expenses, and a $0.6 million increase in facilities, depreciation and other expenses.
General and Administrative Expense: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expense was $7.9 million, compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2025. The $0.6 million, or 8%, increase was primarily driven by a $0.9 million increase in personnel costs related to the Company's internal restructuring, and a $0.2 million increase in miscellaneous expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation expenses and a $0.3 million decrease in professional fees.

Transaction Costs: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, $0.5 million in transaction costs were incurred in connection with the acquisition of Cullgen closed in early May 2026.
Loss from Operations: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, loss from operations was $14.4 million, compared to loss from operations of $2.2 million for the same period in 2025. The $12.1 million increase was primarily driven by an increase in total operating expenses including transaction costs, increased stock-based compensation, expanded marketing expenses for EtorelTM and ContivaTM, and Phase 3C and other clinical trial and pre-clinical activities.
Net (Loss) Income: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net loss was $14.3 million, compared to net loss of $2.2 million for the same period in 2025. The $12.0 million increase in net loss was primarily driven by an increase in operating expenses of $11.5 million, a decrease in other income of $0.7 million, and a decrease in revenue of $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense of $0.8 million.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: For the three months ended June 30, 2026, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $12.2 million, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $0.6 million for the same period in 2025. The $11.6 million decrease was primarily driven by an increase in operating expenses of $10.3 million, a decrease in other income of $0.7 million, and a decrease in revenue of $0.6 million.

 

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026

Revenues: Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were $53.5 million, compared to $60.3 million for the same period in 2025, resulting in a $6.8 million decrease. Revenue from Gyre Pharmaceuticals increased during the period, primarily driven by higher ETUARYTM sales volumes resulting from ETUARYTM focused marketing efforts, despite lower ContivaTM and EtorelTM product revenues following the implementation of China's national centralized procurement program. The overall increase in revenue from Gyre Pharmaceuticals was offset by a $9.6 million decrease in collaboration revenue under the Astellas Agreement which ended in March 2026.
Cost of Revenues: For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cost of revenues was $3.4 million, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.4 million increase was primarily driven by higher EtorelTM product costs of $1.1 million and increased stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by Gyre Therapeutics, Inc.

Gyre reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). This release presents the financial measure “adjusted net income,” which is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for this non-GAAP financial measure is “net income.” Adjusted net income presents Gyre’s results of operations after excluding gain from change in fair value of warrants, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes, transaction costs and loss on disposal of assets, net. This is meant to supplement, and not substitute, Gyre’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income as defined by Gyre may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. Management believes that presenting adjusted net income provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating Gyre’s performance and valuation. See the reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income in the section titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

About F351

F351 is Gyre’s lead development candidate for the treatment of liver fibrosis that is being developed for two different indications. It is a structurally modified derivative of pirfenidone designed to optimize metabolic properties while targeting the TGF-β1 signaling pathway, a key mediator of fibrogenesis. Gyre is developing F351 for two primary indications: CHB-associated liver fibrosis in the PRC and MASH-associated liver fibrosis initially in the United States.

In the United States, Gyre has completed a Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers evaluating F351’s safety, tolerability, and PK. Gyre is further analyzing China Phase 3 study results of F351, together with new pre-clinical results obtained to determine an optimal regulatory path for Phase 2 studies in MASH fibrosis.

About Gyre Pharmaceuticals

Gyre Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Gyre Therapeutics, Inc., is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative drugs for organ fibrosis. Its flagship product, ETUARY™ (pirfenidone capsule), was the first approved treatment for IPF in the PRC in 2011 and has maintained a prominent market share over the past several years. In addition, Gyre Pharmaceuticals' pipeline includes F351 (hydronidone), a structural analogue of pirfenidone, which demonstrated statistically significant fibrosis regression after 52 weeks of treatment in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in CHB-associated liver fibrosis in the PRC. In May 2026, China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted Gyre Pharmaceuticals’ New Drug Application (NDA) for F351 as a treatment for CHB-induced liver fibrosis, which is liver damage resulting from the infection of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). F351 received Breakthrough Therapy designation by the CDE of the NMPA in March 2021. Gyre Pharmaceuticals is also developing treatments for PD, RILI with or without immune-related pneumonitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and acute/acute-on-chronic liver failure (ALF/ACLF). As of June 30, 2026, Gyre Therapeutics owns a 69.7% equity interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals.
