Zhaoke Ophthalmology reported QQ3 2024 revenue of 9.78 million CNY, representing a substantial year-over-year rise of 162.6% but a sequential decline of 60.7% from the prior quarter. The company continues to invest aggressively in R&D, with R&D expenses of 56.95 million CNY, producing a steep operating loss of 113.996 million CNY and an EBITDA loss of 77.906 million CNY. Net income registered a loss of 80.845 million CNY, with EPS of -0.15 on 546.1 million weighted average shares. The top-line expansion occurred against a backdrop of a heavy R&D pipeline push and ongoing clinical development efforts, underscored by a sizable other income of 33.15 million CNY that helped partially offset operating losses. The balance sheet remains liquidity-rich, featuring 1.121 billion CNY of cash and equivalents and an aggregate net cash position of approximately -882.4 million CNY despite total liabilities of 343.4 million CNY. The firm exhibits strong liquidity metrics (current ratio 5.16; cash ratio 3.58) and a conservative debt profile (total debt 238.6 million CNY). However, profitability hinges on future pipeline milestones, potential regulatory approvals, and partnerships that could unlock near- to medium-term commercialization opportunities. Investors should monitor progress in lead ophthalmology programs, the efficiency of R&D spend, and any strategic financing actions that may be required to sustain growth.
