Exhibit 99.1
BeiGene Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Recorded product revenue of $106.1 million for the first quarter, compared to $52.1 million in the prior year period
Included in China's National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL), effective March 1, 2021, significantly driving increased demand for tislelizumab, BRUKINSA®, and XGEVA®
Closed collaboration and license agreement with Novartis for tislelizumab, with $650 million up-front payment
Received approval for Guangzhou biologics manufacturing facility, expanding commercial supply of tislelizumab in China and strategic capabilities
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and BEIJING, China, May 6, 2021 -- BeiGene, Ltd. (NASDAQ: BGNE; HKEX: 06160), a global biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative medicines worldwide, today reported recent business highlights, anticipated upcoming milestones, and financial results for the first quarter of 2021.
“We continue to make excellent progress across the board in advancing our key strategic objectives, including enhancing our commercial scale in China, working to broaden access to our medicines around the world through new regulatory filings, advancing our pipeline, including potentially first-in-class compounds and wholly owned combinations, and expanding our capabilities in biologics manufacturing. We are encouraged by the performance of our commercial portfolio since the implementation on March 1 of three innovative oncology products in the National Reimbursement Drug List in China,” said John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of BeiGene. “In addition, we closed our license and collaboration agreement with Novartis, receiving a $650 million up-front payment, and recently announced positive interim results from our global Phase 3 head-to-head ALPINE trial in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which we believe further demonstrates the differentiated and potentially best-in-class profile for BRUKINSA. We are confident in our strong position to deliver on our mission of providing high quality medicines to billions of more people around the world who need them.”
Recent Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones
Commercial Operations
Generated $106.1 million in global product revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a 104% increase from $52.1 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Product sales in the first quarter grew over the prior year as well as sequentially compared to the prior quarter due to continued progress in our product launches, including significantly increased patient demand following the inclusion of tislelizumab, BRUKINSA®, and XGEVA® in the NRDL, effective March 1, 2021, which more than offset the net effect of price reductions as a result of NRDL inclusion;
First quarter product revenue grew sequentially despite a negative adjustment of $24.2 million as a result of the normal process in China of compensating distributors for products previously sold at the pre-NRDL price during the quarter that remained in the distribution channel, due to the first inclusion of tislelizumab, BRUKINSA, and XGEVA in the NRDL. The majority of the compensation related to tislelizumab;
Inclusion in the NRDL led to significant increases in the number of formal hospital listings for tislelizumab, BRUKINSA, and XGEVA to approximately 4x, 8x, and 6x their respective levels prior to NRDL inclusion; and
Sales of BRUKINSA in the United States continued steady growth despite the continued impact from COVID-19, including the vaccine rollout, on patient treatment plans.
Development Programs

Announced positive results from a planned interim analysis of the ongoing Phase 3 ALPINE trial (NCT03734016) comparing BRUKINSA against ibrutinib in adults with relapsed or refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL);
Received approval and launched BRUKINSA in Canada for the treatment of adult patients with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM), based on the Phase 3 ASPEN trial comparing BRUKINSA and ibrutinib; and

An additional phase of construction currently in progress to bring total capacity to 64,000 liters is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.
COVID-19 Impact and Response
The Company expects that the worldwide health crisis of COVID-19 will continue to have a negative impact on its operations, including commercial sales, regulatory interactions, inspections, filings, and clinical trial recruitment, participation, and data read outs. There remains uncertainty regarding the future impact of the pandemic globally. The Company is striving to minimize delays and disruptions, and continues to execute on its commercial, regulatory and clinical development goals globally.
Corporate Developments

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Short-Term Investments were $4.8 billion as of March 31, 2021, compared to $4.7 billion as of December 31, 2020, representing an increase of $162.1 million.
In the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash provided by operating activities was $125.1 million, which included $650.0 million received as an upfront payment from the collaboration agreement with Novartis; capital expenditures were $42.4 million; cash used for upfront license payments was $8.5 million; and cash provided by financing activities was $107.4 million, consisting primarily of bank loans and the exercise of employee share options.

Exhibit 99.1
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $605.9 million, compared to $52.1 million in the same period of 2020.
Product revenues totaled $106.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $52.1 million in the same period of 2020, and comprised:
Sales of tislelizumab in China of $48.9 million, compared to $20.5 million in the prior year period;
Sales of BRUKINSA of $22.1 million, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period;
Sales of XGEVA®, the first product transferred to BeiGene from the Amgen collaboration, in China of $14.5 million. BeiGene commenced sales and marketing in China in July 2020;
Sales of Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) in-licensed products in China of $20.3 million, compared to $30.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The reduction in the current year period is due primarily to the lack of product sales of ABRAXANE® following the suspension by the NMPA and voluntary recall by BMS in March 2020; and
Collaboration revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $499.8 million, resulting primarily from the partial recognition of the upfront payment of $650.0 million from Novartis. There was no collaboration revenue for the prior year period.
Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $535.7 million, compared to $425.8 million in the same period of 2020.
Cost of Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $32.7 million, compared to $14.1 million in the same period of 2020. Cost of sales increased due to increased product sales of tislelizumab, BRUKINSA and XGEVA, and were partially offset by lower sales of BMS in-licensed products.
R&D Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $320.7 million, compared to $304.3 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily attributable to continued increases in spending on our ongoing and late-stage pivotal clinical trials, the preparation for additional regulatory submissions, and manufacturing costs related to development programs and pre-commercial activities. Upfront fees related to in-process R&D for in-licensed product candidates decreased $34.5 million to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $43.0 million for the same period of 2020. R&D-related share-based compensation expense was $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $20.4 million for the same period of 2020.
SG&A Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $182.1 million, compared to $107.1 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to increased headcount and increased external expenses related to the growth of our global commercial organization, as we continue to build our worldwide footprint. SG&A-related share-based compensation expense was $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $17.9 million for the same period of 2020.
Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $66.5 million, compared to a net loss of $363.7 million in the prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.06 and $0.05, respectively, and basic and diluted earnings per American Depositary Share (ADS) were $0.73 and $0.69, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net loss per share was $0.36 per share, or $4.70 per ADS.
