In 2025, Jafron Biomedical (Jafron) posted revenue and attributable NP of RMB2.0bn and RMB533mn (-24.9% YoY and -35.0% YoY). Results were slightly below Wind consensus expectations of RMB2.2bn in revenue and RMB571mn in attributable NP, mainly due to fluctuations in industry demand and intensified market competition. In 1Q26, the company recorded revenue and attributable NP of RMB561mn and RMB221mn (+2.3% YoY and +16.8% YoY, +23.0% QoQ and +177.1% QoQ). Its 1Q26 results showed a clear marginal improvement. Considering the company's industry-leading product recognition and the broad room for higher penetration of hemoperfusion therapy, we are positive on its upward medium- to long-term development trend. Maintain BUY.
GPM contraction mitigated by lower expense ratio in 1Q26
Gross margin came in at 77.3% in 1Q26 (-3.5pp YoY). We estimate this was mainly because the company proactively lowered the price of KHA130 products in 4Q25 as it made changes to the product sales mix. In 1Q26, the company's selling, G&A, and R&D expense ratios were 15.0%, 5.6%, and 8.1%, respectively, down by 5.8pp, 1.4pp, and 1.5pp YoY. The company continued to optimize operating efficiency, validated by lower period expense ratio in 1Q26.
LT growth for core products intact despite ST disruption
Hemoperfusion device and plasma bilirubin adsorbers recorded revenue of RMB1.7bn and RMB124mn in 2025 (-28.0% YoY and -28.0% YoY). Short-term pressure on core product revenue does not change the positive long-term development trend due to: 1) Broad product coverage: The company's nephrology and hepatology products covered more than 6,000 and 2,000 hospitals in China in 2025, respectively. 2) Continued ramp-up of new products: KHA series products have now covered more than 700 hospitals. In 2025, they recorded revenue of RMB143mn, with sales volume of 458,100 units (+62.4% YoY). PHA series products have now covered more than 160 hospitals. In 2025, they recorded revenue of RMB18.2mn (+51.1% YoY). 3) Stronger evidence-based support: In 2025, multiple domestic and overseas expert consensuses in nephrology were released, and hepatology DPMAS technology was newly included in two domestic liver disease diagnosis and treatment guidelines. Clinical recognition of the therapy continued to improve.
Steady business rollout poised to unlock incremental upside
1) New scenarios: As of end-2025, the company's products for acute and critical care had covered more than 1,800 hospitals in China. The company's self-developed CA series, the first domestic cytokine adsorption column, has now covered nearly 230 hospitals. 2) New products: The company continues to deepen its comprehensive production portfolio in blood purification. It is steadily rolling out market expansion for products such as hemodialyzers and dialysis powders and liquids. In 2025, the company's hemodialyzers recorded revenue of RMB21.5mn (+21.1% YoY), including RMB19.7mn in revenue and 487,200 units in sales volume through volume-based procurement. 3) New regions: The company recorded overseas revenue of RMB71.1mn in 2025 (+19.8% YoY). So far, the company's products have been sold to 99 countries and regions, with overseas coverage of more than 2,000 hospitals. We are positive on the company's continued expansion in new scenarios, new products, and new regions, and expect this to contribute incremental earnings.
