Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. | Nature of Operations and Liquidity

Description of Business

Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company,” “Gyre,” or the “combined company”), formerly known as Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. (“Catalyst”), is a biopharmaceutical company originally incorporated in Delaware on March 7, 1997 under the name Targacept, Inc. Catalyst was a biopharmaceutical company with expertise in protease engineering. Prior to ceasing research and development activities in March 2022, Catalyst had several protease assets that were designed to address unmet medical needs in disorders of the complement or coagulation systems.

On October 30, 2023, the Company consummated the transactions (the “Contributions”) contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), which were accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition and a purchase of noncontrolling interest in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Continent Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“CPI”) was treated as the accounting acquirer of the reverse asset acquisition and is presented as the predecessor for post-acquisition financial reporting purposes. CPI holds an indirect controlling interest in Beijing Continent Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (d/b/a Gyre Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., “Gyre Pharmaceuticals”), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company registered and established in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) in 2002.

After consummation of the Contributions, the immediate holding company of CPI became Gyre. The Company holds in aggregate a 65.2% indirect interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals. The majority shareholder of Gyre is GNI USA, Inc. (“GNI USA”), which is indirectly wholly owned by GNI Group Ltd. (“GNI Japan”). Gyre is a financially-sustainable pharmaceutical company with a record of financial success that develops and commercializes small-molecule anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic drugs targeting organ diseases, focusing specifically on organ fibrosis. Fibrotic diseases represent a large patient population with significant unmet medical needs.

Liquidity

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had net income of $14.5 million, while net cash used in operating activities was $2.6 million. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $74.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of $16.1 million. Based on the Company’s current operating plan, management believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and access to capital markets will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating activities and obligations for at least 12 months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions among consolidated entities were eliminated upon consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial information. These condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or for any other future annual or interim period.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements filed with the Annual Report.

6

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance of doubtful accounts, long-term receivable, contingent value right (“CVR”) derivative liability, warrant liability, allowance for credit losses, reserves for excess or obsolete inventory, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, recognition of research and development expenses to the appropriate financial reporting period based on the progress of the research and development projects, income taxes, stock-based compensation and useful lives of property and equipment and intangibles with definite lives. The Company bases its estimates on various assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to a number of risks associated with companies at a similar stage, including dependence on key individuals, competition from larger and established companies, uncertainty of clinical results, ability to obtain adequate financing to support growth, the ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel to manage the anticipated growth of the Company, and general economic conditions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

In May 2015, a new Deposit Insurance System (“DIS”) managed by the People’s Bank of China was implemented by the Chinese government. Deposits in the licensed banks in mainland China are protected by DIS, up to a limit of Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) 500,000. The Company maintains cash and deposits at commercial banks in excess of the amount protected by DIS and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and in the event of bankruptcy of one of these financial institutions, the Company may be unable to claim its deposits back in full. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality and continually monitors the creditworthiness of these financial institutions. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $16.1 million and $33.5 million, and long-term certificates of deposit of $28.8 million and $23.4 million, respectively. In addition, the Company had short-term bank deposits of $9.0 million as of June 30, 2024. $49.4 million cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and long-term certificates of deposits exceeded the PRC DIS coverage for both periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from product sales. The Company manages credit risk related to the accounts receivable through ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances and limiting the amount of credit extended based upon payment history and creditworthiness. Historically, the Company has collected receivables from customers within the credit terms with no significant credit losses incurred.

Concentration of Customer Risk

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had three customers, Sinopharm Group Co., Ltd. ("Sinopharm"), China Resources Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. (“Resources Pharmaceutical”), and Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Pharmaceuticals”), who accounted for approximately 49.2%, 13.7% and 13.1% of total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had three customers, Sinopharm, Resources Pharmaceutical, and Shanghai Pharmaceuticals who accounted for approximately 52.9%, 13.2% and 11.5% of total revenue, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had three customers, Sinopharm, Resources Pharmaceutical, and Shanghai Pharmaceuticals, who accounted for approximately 48.2%, 15.5% and 12.1% of total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had three customers, Sinopharm, Resources

7

Pharmaceutical, and Shanghai Pharmaceuticals who accounted for approximately 51.4%, 13.3% and 11.0% of total revenue, respectively. All customers are located in mainland China.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had one customer Sinopharm, who accounted for approximately 45.5% and 50.5% of accounts receivable, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk

The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into other currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. 75.3% of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and 100% of the Company’s short-term bank deposits and long-term certificates of deposit as of June 30, 2024, in the amount of $12.1 million, $9.0 million and $28.8 million, respectively, were denominated in RMB.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2024. The adoption of this ASU did not have any material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements – Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, once adopted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2023-09 and related updates as of January 1, 2025. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

3. | Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

For a description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company’s fair value methodology, see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Annual Report. There were no significant changes in these methodologies

during the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s highly liquid money market funds are included within cash equivalents.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Included in cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts and note receivables, net, other receivables, accounts payable, due to related parties, CVR excess closing cash payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no transfers of fair value measurement between Level 1 and Level 2 and no transfers into or out of Level 3 for both financial assets and liabilities.

Long-term Receivables and Derivative Liabilities

Concurrent with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement on December 26, 2022, Catalyst and the Rights Agent (as defined in the CVR Agreement) executed a contingent value rights agreement (the “CVR Agreement”), as amended on March 29, 2023, pursuant to which each holder of Catalyst common stock as of January 5, 2023 (each, a “CVR Holder”), excluding GNI Japan and GNI Hong Kong Limited (“GNI HK”), received one contractual CVR for each share of Catalyst common stock held by such holder. Each CVR entitles the holder thereof to receive certain cash payments in the future.

The long-term receivable and the corresponding CVR derivative liability, noncurrent relate to the asset purchase agreement with GC Biopharma Corp. (“GCBP”). The fair value of this long-term receivable and derivative liability is based on significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the long-term receivable and CVR derivative liability, noncurrent was determined based on the anticipated amount and timing of projected cash flows to be received from GCBP pursuant to the GCBP asset purchase agreement discounted to their present values using an estimated discount rate of 5.05%. As of June 30, 2024, the Company expects to receive a $5.0 million hold-back payment from GCBP in the first quarter of 2025, which will be

9

distributed, net of expenses, to the CVR Holders. The change in fair value of the long-term receivable from GCBP and the corresponding CVR derivative liability, noncurrent was recorded in interest and other income, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Warrant Liability

In October 2023, Catalyst entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for a private placement with GNI USA (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement closed immediately following the Contributions, on October 30, 2023. Upon closing of the Private Placement, the Company issued 811 shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), and warrants to purchase up to 811 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Warrants”) to GNI USA for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.0 million. The Preferred Stock Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $4,915.00 per share of Convertible Preferred Stock and expire on October 30, 2033. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise and conversion of the Preferred Stock Warrants is 540,666. The Company accounted for the Private Placement as a non-arm’s length transaction. The Preferred Stock Warrants were initially recognized at fair value upon issuance and the remaining proceeds from the Private Placement were allocated to the Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Preferred Stock Warrants are freestanding financial instruments classified as a warrant liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Preferred Stock Warrants are revalued in each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded as change in fair value of warrant liability in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

The fair value of the warrant liability is estimated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions:

| June 30, 2024 |  |  | December 31, 2023 |
Share price | $ | 11.93 |  |  | $ | 25.70 |
Exercise price | $ | 4,915.00 |  |  | $ | 4,915.00 |
Dividend yield |  | — | % |  |  | — | %
Risk-free interest |  | 4.35 | % |  |  | 3.88 | %
Term (years) |  | 9.33 |  |  |  | 9.83 |
Expected volatility |  | 83.00 | % |  |  | 84.00 | %

The following table sets forth the changes in the estimated fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities (in thousands):

Restricted Net Assets

Under PRC laws and regulations, Gyre Pharmaceuticals is subject to restrictions on foreign exchange and cross-border cash transfers, including to parent companies and U.S. stockholders. The ability to distribute earnings to the parent companies and U.S. stockholders is also limited. Current PRC regulations permit Gyre Pharmaceuticals to pay dividends to BJContinent Pharmaceuticals Limited (“BJC”) only out of its accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Amounts restricted include paid-in capital and the statutory reserves of Gyre Pharmaceuticals. The aggregate amounts of restricted capital and statutory reserves of the relevant subsidiaries not available for distribution were $64.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Statutory Reserve

Gyre Pharmaceuticals is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits as the statutory reserve fund until the cumulative amount of the statutory reserve fund reaches 50% or more of its registered capital, if any, to fund its statutory reserves, which are not available for distribution as cash dividends. At the Company’s discretion, the Company may allocate a portion of after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary reserve fund.

There were no appropriations to these reserves during the six months ended June 30, 2024 or during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and a single option award approach. Due to its limited relevant historical data, the Company estimated its volatility considering a number of factors, including the use of the volatility of comparable public companies. The expected term of options granted under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, all of which qualify as “plain vanilla” per SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, is determined based on the simplified method due to the Company’s limited relevant history. The risk-free rate is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a term consistent with the option. This fair value is being amortized ratably over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

Since no stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023, all weighted-average assumptions for that period were not applicable. The fair value of employee stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023
Risk-free interest rate (%) |  | n/a |  | n/a |  |  | 4.2 | % |  | n/a
Expected option life (in years) |  | n/a |  | n/a |  |  | 6.0 |  |  | n/a
Expected dividend yield (%) |  | n/a |  | n/a |  |  | — | % |  | n/a
Volatility (%) |  | n/a |  | n/a |  |  | 84.3 | % |  | n/a
Weighted average share price of the Company (USD per share) |  | n/a |  | n/a |  | $ | 17.86 |  |  | n/a

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized was as follows (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
General and administrative |  | $ | 16 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 27 |  |  | $ | — |
Total stock-based compensation expense |  | $ | 16 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 27 |  |  | $ | — |

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million, related to unvested stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

11. | Net Income per Share (“EPS”) Attributable to Common Stockholders

The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is calculated using the treasury stock method. Stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive and excluded from the diluted EPS attributable to common stock calculation if the exercise price exceeds the average market price of the common shares.

12. | Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

Each CVR under the CVR Agreement entitles the holder to receive (i) certain cash payments from the net proceeds related to the disposition of Catalyst’s legacy assets, (ii) 100% of the excess cash (net of all current or contingent

17

liabilities, including transaction-related expenses) retained by the Company in excess of $1.0 million as of the closing date of the Contributions and (iii) 100% of the excess amount, by which the preapproved costs to manage, negotiate, settle and finalize certain third party claims exceed the costs actually incurred with respect to such claims. The CVRs are not transferable, except in certain limited circumstances as provided for in the CVR Agreement, will not be certificated or evidenced by any instrument, and will not be registered with the SEC or listed for trading on any exchange.

In February 2023, Catalyst sold its legacy rare bleeding disorder program to GCBP. As a result, the Company distributed the net cash proceeds received from the GCBP asset sale of $0.2 million to the CVR Holders as well as recorded a $4.5 million long-term CVR derivative liability for the future distribution of the hold-back amount to be received in May 2025. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the CVR derivative liability was $4.7 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments for additional information regarding the CVR derivative liability and GCBP asset sale.

On October 30, 2023, pursuant to the CVR Agreement, the Company recorded a $1.1 million CVR excess closing cash payable upon closing of the Contributions. The CVR excess closing cash payable is anticipated to be distributed among the CVR Holders. The balance of $0.3 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

Litigation and Legal Matters

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Purchasing Commitments

Property and Equipment

The Company’s commitments related to purchase of property and equipment contracted but not yet reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements were $1.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and were expected to be incurred within one year.

F351

In September 2020, Gyre Pharmaceuticals entered into an intellectual property (“IP”) transfer agreement (the “F351 Transfer Agreement”) with GNI Japan and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “GNI Group” or “GNI”). According to the F351 Transfer Agreement, Gyre Pharmaceuticals acquired the exclusive right to use Hydronidone IP rights in mainland China and the right of first offer for the global IP rights (the “F351 IP Rights”).

Under the F351 Transfer Agreement, in exchange for the F351 IP Rights, Gyre Pharmaceuticals is obligated to pay GNI Group $4.6 million upon submission of the F351 New Drug Application (the “NDA”) to Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration (the “NMPA”) of the PRC, $1.2 million after the NDA passes the NMPA’s Center for Food and Drug Review and Inspection’s on-site registration inspection for the F351 product, and $7.0 million upon NMPA’s approval of the NDA.

Research and Development Programs

In addition to the F351 program, as of June 30, 2024, Gyre Pharmaceuticals has committed to allocate $19.0 million toward future research and development activities for various programs.

Investment commitments

Other long-term investment

13. | Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $1.5 million and $4.0 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded the following income tax provision (in thousands) and effective tax rate:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |

Effective tax rate |  |  | 21.00 | % |  |  | 35.60 | % |  |  | 20.60 | % |  |  | 34.13 | %

The change of effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was primarily due the consummation of the Contributions in October 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, after consideration of certain limitations (see below), the Company had approximately $193.5 million federal and $10.5 million state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for U.S. tax purposes available to reduce future taxable income which, if unused, will begin to expire in 2037 for federal and 2034 for state tax purposes. The federal NOL carryforward includes $191.9 million that have an indefinite life.

If the Company experiences a greater than 50% aggregate change in ownership over a three-year period (a Section 382 ownership change), utilization of its pre-change NOL carryforwards are subject to annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (California has similar provisions). The annual limitation is determined by multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of such ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Such limitations may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL carryforwards before utilization. The Company determined that ownership changes under Section 382 occurred on December 31, 2007, August 20, 2015, April 13, 2017, February 15, 2018, February 18, 2020, and December 26, 2022. Approximately $156.5 million and $75.2 million of the NOL carryforwards will expire unutilized for federal and California state income tax purposes, respectively. The ability of the Company to use its remaining NOL and tax credit carryforwards may be further limited if the Company experiences a Section 382 ownership change as a result of future changes in its stock ownership.

15. | Employee Benefit Plans

Mainland China Contribution Plan

19

Pursuant to relevant PRC regulations, the Company is required to make contributions to various defined contribution plans organized by municipal and provincial PRC governments. The contribution for each employee is based on a percentage of the employee’s current compensation as required by the local government. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension scheme. The total contributions for such employee benefits were $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total contributions for such employee benefits were $2.4 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Defined-Contribution Savings Plan

In the U.S., the Company maintains a defined-contribution savings plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The plan is available to employees who meet the minimum age and length of service requirements. The contributions made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were immaterial.

16. | Segment Information

The Company is a consolidated entity comprised of two distinct operating segments: Gyre Pharmaceuticals and Gyre after the Contributions. The Company’s reportable segments are based upon internal organizational structure, the manner in which operations are managed, the criteria used by CODM to evaluate segment performance, the availability of separate financial information, and overall materiality considerations. All Gyre’s operations are within the U.S., while all of Gyre Pharmaceuticals’ operations are in mainland China.

Gyre Pharmaceuticals

Gyre Pharmaceuticals has one major commercial drug product, ETUARY, and several product candidates in pre-clinical and clinical development. Gyre Pharmaceuticals’ product revenues are mainly generated from the sale of ETUARY and certain generic drugs. Gyre Pharmaceuticals primarily sells its pharmaceutical products to distributors in the PRC, who ultimately sell the products to hospitals, other medical institutions and pharmacies. Gyre Pharmaceuticals also generates revenue from license agreements. However, the license agreements did not generate any revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

Gyre

Gyre is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of F351 for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-associated liver fibrosis in the United States. Other than the IP associated with F351 in the U.S., Gyre has no other product candidates since the Company sold all of its legacy IP assets prior to the closing of the Contributions. Subsequent to the closing of the Contributions, Gyre has not generated any revenue.

Other

Other represents the financial information from other subsidiaries, consisting of mainly CPI, GNI HK, and Continent Pharmaceuticals U.S., Inc. During the year ended December 31, 2023, prior to the Contributions, CPI divested almost all of its assets other than its 56.0% indirect ownership interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals (see Note 8 – Restructuring in the Annual Report).

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), unless otherwise specified, references to “we,” “our,” “us” and “our company” refer to Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. and our majority indirectly owned subsidiary, Beijing Continent Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (d/b/a Gyre Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.) (“Gyre Pharmaceuticals”). The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in this Quarterly Report and with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).

In addition to historical information, this Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially” “predict,” “should,” “will,” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. You should read these statements carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition, or state other “forward-looking” information. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and financial performance and the assumptions that underlie these statements. For example, forward-looking statements include any statements regarding: the strategies, prospects, plans, expectations or objectives of management for future operations or the distribution of cash to Company stockholders, the benefits that may be derived from product candidates or the commercial or market opportunity in any target indication, our ability to protect intellectual property rights, our anticipated operations, financial position, revenues, costs or expenses, future economic conditions or performance, and statements of belief and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this report in Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors,” and in Part I - Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. These statements, like all statements in this Report, speak only as of their date, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements in light of future developments. We caution investors that our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.

Overview

We are a financially-sustainable commercial-stage biotechnology company with a record of financial success that develops and commercializes small-molecule anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic drugs targeting organ diseases, focusing specifically on organ fibrosis. Fibrotic diseases represent a large patient population with significant unmet medical needs. Fibrosis involves a complex, multi-stage process with multiple pathways. While there are numerous potential targets for anti-fibrotic therapy, both established and emerging, addressing a single molecular pathway may not be sufficient to prevent, halt, or reverse fibrosis.

Our strategy is to use our experience in the successful development and commercialization of ETUARY® (Pirfenidone) to expand into new indications and develop similar drug candidates. Pirfenidone, the first anti-fibrotic drug approved for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (“IPF”) in Japan, the European Union, the United States, and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), is a small molecule drug that inhibits the synthesis of Transforming Growth Factor (“TGF”)-ß1, Tumor Necrosis Factor-α, and other fibrosis and inflammation modulators. We have obtained approval for ETUARY (pirfenidone) in the PRC for IPF.

Gyre Pharmaceuticals successfully advanced Pirfenidone from research and development to commercialization in the PRC for the treatment of IPF. In addition to IPF, Pirfenidone is undergoing three additional Phase 3 clinical trials for connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung diseases (sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease and dermatomyositis-related interstitial lung disease) and pneumoconiosis to broaden its indications and market. In May 2024, Gyre Pharmaceuticals executed a comprehensive agreement with Jiangsu Wangao Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. to acquire the rights to nintedanib, a small-molecule drug for the treatment of IPF. With this acquisition, we acquired a second product approved for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and expect to provide patients more choices and benefits, and further enhance Gyre Pharmaceuticals’ leading position in the pulmonary fibrosis market.

F351, our lead development candidate in both the United States and the PRC, is a structural derivative of ETUARY (Pirfenidone). It is a new oral chemical entity with an anti-fibrotic, TGF-ß1-targeting mechanism of action. Studies

24

suggest that F351 and its major metabolites have minimal drug-drug interaction risks. We are prioritizing F351 for the treatment of liver fibrosis due to the large potential addressable market and significant unmet need.

Gyre Pharmaceuticals has completed a Phase 2 trial of F351 in the PRC for chronic hepatitis B (“CHB”)-associated liver fibrosis. The Phase 2 trial showed that F351 was well-tolerated without notable toxicity and patients treated showed statistically-significant improvement of liver fibrosis, with the best efficacy results achieved at 270 mg/day dosing. Based on these results, a confirmatory Phase 3 trial is ongoing in the PRC with a primary endpoint of the reduction of the liver fibrosis score (Ishak Scoring System) by at least one grade after taking F351 in combination with Entecavir. The enrollment of 248 patients for the confirmatory Phase 3 trial has been completed, with the last patient expected to complete the 52-week study by the end of 2024 and clinical results expected by early 2025.

In the United States, we have completed a Phase 1 clinical trial of F351 in healthy volunteers. We are preparing an investigational new drug (“IND”) application and expect to submit it in late 2024. Following results from the PRC Phase 3 trial in CHB-associated liver fibrosis and pending approval of our IND, we expect to initiate a Phase 2a trial to evaluate F351 for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-associated liver fibrosis in 2025.

In parallel, we are also conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial in the PRC to assess the safety and efficacy of F573, a caspase inhibitor for the treatment of acute/acute on-chronic liver failure. In addition, in May 2024, we obtained the approval from the PRC’s National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) for the IND to launch a new clinical trial in the PRC of another new drug candidate, F230, a selective endothelin receptor agonist for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. We are preparing for the anticipated launch of the clinical trial in the PRC.

In June 2024, Gyre Pharmaceuticals received approval from the NMPA for avatrombopag maleate tablets for the treatment of thrombocytopenia (“TP”) associated with chronic liver disease (“CLD”) in adult patients undergoing elective diagnostics procedures or therapy. TP is the most common hematologic complication in patients with CLD and can be life threatening in severe cases. Avatrombopag is an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist. Avatrombopag was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with CLD-associated TP in May 2018, and its indication was subsequently expanded to include the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia in June 2019. Gyre Pharmaceuticals acquired avatrombopag under a transfer agreement with Nanjing Healthnice Pharmaceutical Technology, Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Healtnice”) in June 2021.

Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements Compliance

On June 28, 2024, Nassim Usman, Ph.D. resigned from our Board of Directors (the “Board”) and stepped down as a chair of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), effective as of June 30, 2024. Dr. Usman’s resignation was not due to any disagreements with the Company relating to our operations, policies or practices. In connection with his resignation, we agreed to a full acceleration of all of Dr. Usman's outstanding stock options (the “Outstanding Option Awards”). On June 30, 2024, we notified Nasdaq that, following Dr. Usman’s resignation as a member of the Board and as a member of the Audit Committee, we have a vacancy on our Audit Committee and intend to rely on the cure period set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules while we recruit a new Audit Committee member.

On July 2, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that we are no longer in compliance with Nasdaq’s audit committee composition requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, which requires that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised of at least three “independent directors” (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2)). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), we intend to rely on the cure period to reestablish compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. The cure period is generally defined as until the earlier of our next annual meeting of stockholders or June 30, 2025.

In June 2024, the former Audit Committee Chair of the Company stepped down from the position. On August 6, 2024, we appointed a new Audit Committee Chair, Rodney Nussbaum.

25

On August 6, 2024, the Board appointed David Epstein, Ph.D. as a Class II director to serve until our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Dr. Epstein was also appointed as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. On August 9, 2024, we informed Nasdaq that, following Dr. Epstein’s appointment as a member of the Board and as a member of the Audit Committee we regained compliance with Nasdaq’s audit committee composition requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, which requires that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised of at least three “independent directors” (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2)).

Business Combination Agreement

On December 26, 2022, Catalyst Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Catalyst”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement, as amended on March 29, 2023 and August 30, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with GNI USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GNI USA”), GNI Japan, GNI Hong Kong Limited (“GNI HK”), Shanghai Genomics, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the PRC (collectively with GNI USA, GNI Japan and GNI HK, the “Contributors,” and each a “Contributor”), certain individuals and Continent Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Cayman Islands company limited by shares (“CPI”). On October 30, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), the Contributions (as defined below) became effective and Catalyst acquired an indirect controlling interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time of the Contributions:

a)
GNI USA contributed all of its ordinary shares in the capital of CPI to Catalyst in exchange for 45,923,340 shares of Common Stock (the “CPI Contribution”),
b)
GNI USA contributed its interest in Further Challenger International Limited (“Further Challenger”) for 17,664,779 shares of Common Stock (the “FC Contribution” and together with the CPI Contribution, the “GNI USA Contributions”), and
c)
each Minority Holder contributed 100% of the interest he or she held in his or her respective entity in exchange for an aggregate of 10,463,627 shares of Common Stock (the “Minority Holder Contributions” and together with the GNI USA Contributions, the “Contributions”).

As a result of the GNI USA Contributions, Gyre directly and indirectly holds 100% of CPI’s shares. Through Gyre’s ownership of CPI, prior to the Minority Holder Contributions, Gyre held a 56.0% indirect interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals. Upon completion of the Minority Holder Contributions, Gyre obtained additional indirect interests in Gyre Pharmaceuticals and holds, in aggregate, a 65.2% indirect interest in Gyre Pharmaceuticals. Each share of Common Stock and option to purchase Common Stock that was issued and outstanding at the Effective Time remained issued and outstanding, and such shares and options were unaffected by the Contributions.

At the Effective Time, Gyre Pharmaceuticals terminated its 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and the options (the “Gyre Pharmaceuticals Options”) outstanding under the 2021 Plan were terminated and replaced with options granted under a subplan for Chinese participants under the Gyre 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan”) that are substantially similar in all material respects to the Gyre Pharmaceuticals Options previously outstanding under the 2021 Plan.

The majority shareholder of Gyre Pharmaceuticals is BJContinent Pharmaceuticals Limited (“BJC”). The immediate holding company of BJC is CPI. Immediately following the GNI USA Contributions, the immediate holding company of CPI is Gyre. The majority stockholder of Gyre is GNI USA, which is indirectly wholly owned by GNI Japan.

The GNI USA Contributions were treated as an asset acquisition under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, with CPI treated as the accounting acquirer and presented as the predecessor for post-acquisition reporting purposes. Since Catalyst is the legal acquirer, the GNI USA Contributions were accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition. This determination was based upon the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and other factors including that, immediately following the GNI USA Contributions: (i) GNI USA (as the parent company of CPI immediately prior to the GNI USA Contributions) owns a substantial majority of the voting power of the combined company; (ii) GNI USA has the ability to control the board of directors of the combined company; and (iii) senior management of Gyre Pharmaceuticals and GNI USA hold a majority of the key positions in senior management of the combined company. Immediately prior to the closing of the GNI USA Contributions, Catalyst did not meet the definition of a

26

business because Catalyst did not have an organized workforce that significantly contributed to its ability to create output, and substantially all of its fair value was concentrated in in-process research and development (“IPR&D”).

As of the closing date of the GNI USA Contributions, the net assets of Catalyst were recorded at their acquisition-date relative fair values in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and the reported operating results prior to the GNI USA Contributions are those of CPI.

The Minority Holder Contributions were treated as an equity transaction, where we obtained additional indirect interests in and maintained our control over Gyre Pharmaceuticals.

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

Concurrent with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement on December 26, 2022, Catalyst and the Rights Agent (as defined in the CVR Agreement) executed a contingent value rights agreement (the “CVR Agreement”), as amended on March 29, 2023, pursuant to which each CVR Holder, excluding GNI Japan and GNI HK, received one contractual contingent value right (a “CVR”) issued by the Company for each share of Catalyst common stock held by such holders. Each CVR entitles the CVR Holder thereof to receive certain cash payments in the future. For additional information, see Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Private Placement and Securities Purchase Agreement

On October 27, 2023, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement for a private placement with GNI USA (the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, GNI USA agreed to purchase (i) 811 shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 811 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million. The Private Placement closed immediately after the closing of the Contributions.

The Preferred Stock Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $4,915.00 per share of Convertible Preferred Stock and expire on October 30, 2033. In January 2024, all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into Gyre common stock. The Preferred Stock Warrants issued are considered freestanding financial instruments and classified as a liability.

Jiangsu Wangao Agreement

In May 2024, Gyre Pharmaceuticals entered into an agreement with Jiangsu Wangao Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (the “Jiangsu Wangao Agreement”), effective from May 7, 2024 to May 6, 2035. Pursuant to the Jiangsu Wangao Agreement, Gyre Pharmaceuticals obtained the drug registration certificate for and became the marketing authorization holder of nintedanib, a small-molecule drug for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, within the PRC. The total minimum payments under the Jiangsu Wangao Agreement are RMB 35.0 million, or approximately $4.8 million, based on the May 7, 2024 spot exchange rate. This includes an upfront transfer fee of RMB 15.0 million, or approximately $2.1 million, payable in three installments, and subsequent low- to mid-single-digit royalty payments over eight years following the commencement of sales. Additionally, Gyre Pharmaceuticals will bear the costs associated with relocating the production site to a designated location and will cover all expenses related to the manufacturing process.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

Sales of Pharmaceutical Products

We generate revenue primarily through sales of ETUARY and certain generic drugs in the PRC. Distributors are our direct customers, and sales to distributors accounted for 100.0% of the revenue from ETUARY. Such distributors sell ETUARY to certain outlets, including hospitals and other medical institutions, as well as pharmacies.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue mainly consists of cost of sales representing direct and indirect costs incurred to bring the product to saleable condition. Cost of sales primarily consists of (i) raw material costs; (ii) staff costs for production employees; (iii) depreciation and amortization related to property and equipment and intangible assets used in production; (iv) taxes and surcharges; (v) transportation costs; and (vi) miscellaneous other costs.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses primarily relate to selling and marketing our product ETUARY in the PRC and consist of expenses incurred from hosting academic conferences, seminars and symposia; promotional expenses associated with market education on ETUARY for its use in hospitals; and staff costs primarily consisting of salaries and benefits for in-house marketing and promotion staff.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services used in research and development are initially deferred and capitalized in prepaid and other current assets. The capitalized amounts are then expensed as the related goods are delivered or services are performed, or until it is no longer expected that the goods or services will be delivered.

Research and development costs consist primarily of costs related to the pre-clinical and clinical development of our product candidates, which include payroll and other personnel-related expenses, laboratory supplies and reagents, contract research and development services for pre-clinical research and clinical trials, materials, and consulting costs, as well as allocations of facilities, depreciation, and other overhead costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of (i) accounting, IT, legal, administrative, and other internal service staff costs; (ii) stock-based compensation representing share options granted to our functional employees; (iii) professional service fees, primarily for legal and accounting services; and (iv) other miscellaneous expenses.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest Income, Net

Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our certificates of deposit. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash

28

receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other (Expense) Income, Net

Other income consists mostly of government grants. Government grants are recognized at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual installments or deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and released to profit or loss by way of a reduced depreciation charge.

Other expenses consist of any non-operating costs, such as loss from equity method investments.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

In connection with the Private Placement, we issued the Preferred Stock Warrants, which are freestanding financial instruments classified as warrant liability since the underlying securities are contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of events which are outside of our control. The Preferred Stock Warrants are recorded at fair value upon issuance and are subject to remeasurement at the end of each reporting period, with any change in fair value recognized in our statements of operations as other (income) expense.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes are comprised primarily of current income tax provision, mainly attributable to the profitable Gyre Pharmaceuticals operations in the PRC, and deferred income tax provision, mainly including deferred tax recognized for temporary differences in relation to research and development tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. tax purposes, deemed income inclusions from controlled foreign corporations for U.S. tax purposes, and fixed and intangible assets, net of valuation allowances.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $25.2 million and $29.3 million, respectively. The $4.1 million decrease was primarily driven by a $3.9 million decrease in sales volume due to normalized anti-fibrosis drug sales. In the first half of 2023, a surge in COVID infection among the overall population in the PRC temporarily increased the anti-fibrosis auxiliary treatment by ETUARY from COVID-19. Further, $0.2 million of revenues were negatively impacted by the foreign currency exchange rate as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by a $0.1 million in factory stoppage loss due to factory renovation in 2023 and a $0.1 million due to the decrease of sales quantity.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $3.6 million, or 20%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $2.6 million decrease in conference costs due to a decrease in conference activity, a $0.5 million decrease in promotional expenses, a $0.4 million decrease in staff cost as well as a $0.2 million decrease in other expenses, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in traveling expenses.

Research and Development Expenses

The table below details our costs for research and development for the periods presented (in thousands, except percentage change):

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Pre-clinical research |  |  | 25 |  |  |  | 392 |  |  |  | (367 | ) |  |  | (94 | )%
Indirect expenses: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Personnel-related costs |  |  | 797 |  |  |  | 988 |  |  |  | (191 | ) |  |  | (19 | )%
Facilities, depreciation and other |  |  | 458 |  |  |  | 138 |  |  |  | 320 |  |  |  | 232 | %
Total research and development expenses |  | $ | 3,355 |  |  | $ | 3,568 |  |  | $ | (213 | ) |  |  | (6 | )%

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $0.5 million decrease from Gyre Pharmaceuticals was primarily driven by a $0.2 million decrease in staff cost due to the decrease of the headcounts in the department, a $0.1 million decrease in pre-clinical research expense and clinical trial costs, and a $0.2 million decrease in materials and utilities. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in Gyre Therapeutics research costs for F351 stability testing.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 100%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by costs associated with being a public company, including a $0.9 million increase in functional and administrative department's personnel costs, a $0.6 million increase in miscellaneous expenses, and a $0.2 million increase in professional expense.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest income increased by $0.1 million, or 39%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to additional investments in certificates of deposit.

Other income (expenses), net decreased by $1.1 million, or 167%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decline was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in government grant, a $0.3 million decrease from the combination of equity method investments loss, foreign exchange losses, and miscellaneous non-operating expenses, offset by a $0.1 million increase in Gyre Pharmaceuticals' donation expense.

Change in fair value of warrant liability was $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. It was related to the remeasurement of the Preferred Stock Warrants liability.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $1.5 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower profit from Gyre Pharmaceuticals’ operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $52.4 million and $54.3 million, respectively. The $1.9 million decrease was primarily driven by a $0.8 million decrease in sales volume due to normalized anti-fibrosis drug sales. In the first half of 2023, a surge in COVID infection among the overall population in the PRC temporarily increased the anti-fibrosis auxiliary treatment by ETUARY from COVID-19. Further, $1.1 million of revenues were negatively impacted by the foreign currency exchange rate as compared to the same period in the prior year. To support future revenue growth, we acquired the rights to complementary assets and know-how relating to generic nintedanib for the treatment of IPF and plan to commercially launch Avatrombopag, both of which will be supported by our extensive sales and marketing platform across the PRC.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by a $0.3 million factory stoppage loss due to factory renovation in 2023, and a $0.3 million decrease in generic drug cost due to the decrease of sales, offset by a $0.2 million increase due to the increase of the staff cost and new equipment depreciation.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $3.8 million, or 12%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $0.5 million decrease in promotional expenses, and a $4.4 million decrease in conference costs due to a decrease in conference activity, offset by a $1.1 million increase in staff costs due to an increase in staff headcount.

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.7 million, or 11%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $1.2 million decrease from Gyre Pharmaceuticals was primarily driven by a $0.3 million decrease in materials and utilities, a $0.5 million decrease in pre-clinical research expenses, and a $0.4 million decrease in clinical trial costs. These decreases were offset by a $0.5 million increase from Gyre Therapeutics, which was primarily driven by a $0.3 million increase in clinical trial costs and a $0.2 million increase in research and development consulting fees.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 98%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by costs associated with being a public company, including a $1.4 million increase in functional and administrative department’s personnel costs from Gyre Pharmaceuticals, and a $2.0 million in general and administrative expenses in Gyre Therapeutics.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest income increased by $0.2 million, or 56%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to additional investments in certificates of deposit.

Other income (expenses), net decreased by $0.7 million, or 1,308%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $4.0 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the projected effective tax rate decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16.1 million, short-term bank deposits of $9.0 million and long-term certificates of deposit of $28.8 million, which are available to fund operations, and an accumulated deficit of $74.5 million. Our net income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $4.5 million and $14.5 million, while cash used in operating activities was $5.5 million and $2.6 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and access to capital markets will be sufficient to fund our operating activities and obligations for at least 12 months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report.

Future Funding Requirements

We expect to use cash flows from operations to meet our current and future financial obligations, including funding our operations, and capital expenditures. Our ability to make these payments depends on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, regulatory, and other factors, many of which we cannot control. Factors that may affect financing requirements include, but are not limited to:

•
the timing, progress, cost and results of our clinical trials, preclinical studies and other discovery and research and development activities;
•
the timing and outcome of, and costs involved in, seeking and obtaining marketing approvals for our products, and in maintaining quality systems standards for our products;
•
the timing of, and costs involved in, commercial activities, including product marketing, sales and distribution;
•
our ability to successfully commercialize and to obtain regulatory approval for, and successfully commercialize our other or future product candidates;
•
increases or decreases in revenue from our marketed products, including decreases in revenue resulting from generic entrants or health epidemics or pandemics;
•
the number and development requirements of other product candidates that we pursue;
•
our ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of our products to meet expected demand;
•
the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights, litigation costs and the results of litigation;
•
our ability to enter into collaboration, licensing or distribution arrangements and the terms and timing of these arrangements;
•
the potential need to expand our business, resulting in additional payroll and other overhead expenses;
•
the potential in-licensing of other products or technologies;
•
the emergence of competing technologies or other adverse market or technological developments; and
•
the impacts of inflation and resulting cost increases.

Future capital requirements will also depend on the extent to which we acquire or invest in additional complementary businesses, products and technologies.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.6 million, reflecting our net income of $14.5 million, offset by non-cash items of $6.9 million primarily related to the change in fair value of warrant

34

liability of $7.2 million. Additionally, cash used in operating activities reflected changes in net operating assets and liabilities of $10.1 million.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $15.0 million, reflecting our net income of $8.0 million and additional positive non-cash items impact of $0.4 million. Additionally, cash provided by operating activities reflected changes in net operating assets and liabilities of $6.6 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $15.5 million, which consisted of $14.1 million in purchases of certificates of deposit and $1.7 million in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $0.3 million proceeds from sale of equipment.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $15.7 million, which consisted of $11.5 million in purchases of certificates of deposit and $4.2 million in purchases of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.8 million due to deferred financing costs, as well as proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The Company did not have cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Restricted Net Assets

Under PRC laws and regulations, Gyre Pharmaceuticals is subject to restrictions on foreign exchange and cross-border cash transfers, including to parent companies and U.S. stockholders. The ability to distribute earnings to the parent companies and U.S. stockholders is also limited. Current PRC regulations permit Gyre Pharmaceuticals to pay dividends to BJC only out of its accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Amounts restricted include paid-in capital and the statutory reserves of Gyre Pharmaceuticals. The aggregate amounts of restricted capital and statutory reserves of the relevant subsidiaries not available for distribution were $64.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We do not expect the restrictions described above to have a material impact on our ability to meet our cash obligations.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

Leases

We have entered into lease arrangements in (1) San Diego, California for our headquarters, which expires on the last day of the 38th full calendar month beginning on or after November 11, 2023, and (2) the PRC, for office and laboratory spaces through May 2027. As of June 30, 2024, our fixed lease payment obligations were $2.1 million, with $0.7 million payable within 12 months.

Other Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In June 2021, we entered into a transfer agreement with Nanjing Healthnice, an independent third party, pursuant to which Nanjing Healthnice agreed to transfer to us the avatrombopag maleate tablets for the treatment of CLD-associated thrombocytopenia and all relevant technologies, complete any research or trials and transfer to us all materials necessary for the application of marketing approval by CDE. We were approved by the NMPA as the marketing authorization holder of the avatrombopag maleate tablets on June 25, 2024. In exchange, we paid a total of approximately $2.3 million upon certain milestones (e.g., the completion of bioequivalence study, or the registration application to CDE) being met. We have completed the bioequivalence study and received CDE acceptance on August 1, 2022, and as of June 30, 2024, we have made total payments of approximately $1.8 million.

In September 2022, we entered into a transfer agreement with New Jiyuan (Beijing) Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. (“New Jiyuan”), an independent third party, pursuant to which New Jiyuan agreed to transfer to us the minocycline hydrochloride foam for the treatment of moderate to severe acne and all relevant technologies, complete product development and transfer to us all materials necessary for the application of marketing approval of CDE. Upon the completion of the transfer, we expect that we will be approved by NMPA as the marketing authorization

holder of the minocycline hydrochloride foam. In exchange, we will pay a total amount of $1.0 million and the payments will be made by installments conditioned upon certain milestones (e.g., the completion of bioequivalence study, or the registration application to CDE) being met. Process verification has been completed. As of June 30, 2024, we have made total payments of approximately $0.7 million.

In December 2022, we entered into a transfer agreement with Hangzhou Baicheng Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang CDMO Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., an independent third party, pursuant to which Baicheng agreed to transfer to us the acetylcysteine injection for the treatment of respiratory diseases with excessive thick mucus discharge and all relevant technologies, assist us in completing any research, trial and other required procedures and transfer to us all materials necessary for the application of marketing approval of CDE. Upon the completion of this transfer agreement, we expect that we will be approved by NMPA as the marketing authorization holder of the acetylcysteine injection. We have received CDE acceptance on January 8, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, we have made payments totaling approximately $0.5 million under this agreement. Upon receiving the CDE’s final approval, we will make an additional $40,000 in payments.

Research and Development Programs

As of June 30, 2024, we have committed to allocate $31.7 million toward future research and development activities for various programs.

Property and Equipment

Our commitments related to the purchase of property and equipment contracted but not yet reflected in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements were $1.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and are expected to be incurred within one year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report.

Smaller Reporting Company and Accelerated Filer Status

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Based on the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2024, we believe we will become a “large accelerated filer” and no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company as of December 31, 2024. Because we believe our non-accelerated filer status will expire on December 31, 2024, we may be required, pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to include in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024 an attestation report as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that is issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2024, we expect to no longer be permitted to take advantage of the reduced reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2024, our management, with the participation and supervision of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024 to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report.
