Zai Lab Limited reported significant financial developments in its 10-Q filing for the quarter ending September 30, 2024. The company achieved total revenues of $102.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, marking a 48% increase from $69.2 million in the same period of 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total revenues reached $289.9 million, up 44% from $200.9 million year-over-year. The growth in product revenue was primarily driven by strong sales of VYVGART, ZEJULA, and NUZYRA, with VYVGART experiencing a remarkable 458% increase following its launch in September 2023 and subsequent listing on China's National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) in January 2024.
Despite the revenue growth, Zai Lab reported a net loss of $41.7 million for Q3 2024, a significant reduction from the $69.2 million loss in Q3 2023. For the nine-month period, the net loss was $175.4 million, down from $239.2 million in the prior year. The loss per share improved to $(0.04) for Q3 2024, compared to $(0.07) in Q3 2023, and $(0.18) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, versus $(0.25) in the same period of 2023.
The company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased to $616.1 million as of September 30, 2024, from $790.2 million at the end of 2023. Total current assets also fell to $860.5 million, down from $939.6 million. Current liabilities increased to $286.3 million from $203.1 million, contributing to a decline in total shareholders’ equity to $667.7 million from $796.1 million.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for Q3 2024 were $66.0 million, a 12% increase from $58.8 million in Q3 2023. However, R&D expenses for the nine months decreased slightly to $182.3 million from $183.9 million in the previous year. The company attributed the decrease in R&D expenses for the nine-month period to reduced personnel costs and expenses related to ongoing clinical trials.
Zai Lab also engaged in strategic partnerships, including a global license agreement with MabCare Therapeutics to enhance its oncology pipeline. The company continues to focus on expanding its product offerings and increasing patient access in Greater China, with plans for additional product launches pending regulatory approvals. As of September 30, 2024, Zai Lab had potential milestone payments totaling $284.5 million for current clinical programs and $613.0 million for other programs.
