SHANGHAI, Sept. 21, 2025 – WuXi AppTec (603259.SH/2359.HK), a leading global Contract Research, Development, and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO), has announced its inaugural interim dividend, distributing RMB 1.03 billion in cash to shareholders. This move underscores the company’s strong financial performance and commitment to delivering shareholder value, particularly in a dynamic global market for pharmaceutical services.
Year-to-date, WuXi AppTec has distributed a total of RMB 4.88 billion through annual, special, and the newly introduced interim dividends. The company’s total shareholder returns, including cash dividends, share repurchases, and subsequent cancellations, amount to RMB 6.88 billion. This represents over 70% of the net profit attributable to the company’s owners in 2024, demonstrating a significant return of capital to investors.
The interim dividend plan reflects WuXi AppTec’s confidence in its future growth prospects and its robust cash flow generation capabilities. This capital allocation strategy signals a mature phase in the company’s development, transitioning from pure growth to a balance between reinvestment and shareholder payouts. Analysts note this is a positive signal for investors seeking both growth and income.
WuXi AppTec’s strong cash position is driven by increasing demand for its comprehensive suite of R&D and manufacturing services. The company’s integrated CRDMO platform, spanning from drug discovery to commercial manufacturing, positions it as a key partner for pharmaceutical and biotech companies globally. As these companies increasingly outsource their R&D and manufacturing activities to improve efficiency and focus on core competencies, WuXi AppTec is well-positioned to benefit from this trend. Furthermore, the company’s expansion into emerging modalities like cell and gene therapy is expected to drive future growth. The company’s strategic investment in cutting-edge technologies and capacity expansion supports future operational activity.
