Concord Medical Reports Financial Results for the First Half of 2025
BEIJING, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Concord Medical Services Holdings Limited ("Concord Medical" or the "Company") (NYSE: CCM), a healthcare provider specialized in cancer treatment, research, education and prevention in China, today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 [1].
2025 First Half Highlights
[1] This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations of RMB into U.S. dollars are made at a rate of RMB7.1636 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers payable in RMB, as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on June 30, 2025.
[2] Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) plus interest expenses, net, income tax expenses, depreciation and amortization and other adjustments. Other adjustments include foreign exchange loss, net, other income, net, gain on disposal of equity method investment, gain on disposal of subsidiaries, change in fair value of derivative liability, changes in fair value of short-term investments and gain on disposal of long-lived equipment.
Dr. Jianyu Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Concord Medical, commented, "The precision of proton therapy helps prevent long-term damage to critical functional areas—including the brain, heart, and rectum—while allowing clinicians to safely escalate radiation doses to target sites to improve efficacy in refractory cancers. With minimal impact on surrounding normal tissues, patients benefit from fewer side effects and faster recovery, making proton therapy an optimal treatment option in cases where balancing efficacy and safety is critical.
As the first proton therapy center in South mainland China to commence clinical operations, Guangzhou Concord Cancer Hospital has developed specialized treatment protocols for a range of malignancies. In patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, aged between 10 and 71, we observed significant tumor regression, with elderly patients experiencing only mild mucosal reactions. For central nervous system tumors, the hospital achieved successful functional preservation even in extensive irradiation fields such as whole-brain and whole-spine treatments. In pediatric care, as of June 30, the Company treated its youngest proton therapy patient, a child of just over one year old. Through advanced radiotherapy techniques and careful anesthetic management, the hospital was able to provide effective protection and treatment.
These results highlight the clinical value of proton therapy in improving outcomes for challenging cancers while preserving function in critical organs. Looking forward, the Company will remain committed to advancing proton therapy, enhancing public understanding of precision radiotherapy, strengthening patient confidence, and expanding patient access to internationally advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, innovative medications, and patient-centered care."
2025 First Half Financial Results
Net Revenues
Hospital Business
Net revenues from the hospital business were RMB153.0 million (US$21.4 million) in the first half of 2025, representing a 11.1% increase from net revenues of RMB137.8 million in the first half of 2024, mainly because of the commencement of proton therapy operations at Guangzhou Concord Cancer Hospital.
Network Business
Net revenues from the network business were RMB47.6 million (US$6.6 million), representing a 41.3% decrease from net revenues of RMB81.0 million in the first half of 2024, mainly because (1) demand for medical equipment and software decreased under the current macroeconomic environment, leading to delayed overall business demand, and (2) operating lease revenue decreased since this is no longer the Company's main business and expired contracts were not renewed.
Cost of Revenues
Hospital Business
Cost of revenues of the hospital business in the first half of 2025 was RMB157.2 million (US$21.9 million), representing a 9.6% decrease from cost of revenues of RMB174.0 million in the first half of 2024, mainly because (1) efficiency of human resources improved as the Company implemented a strategy focused on enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs, (2) consumables cost, maintenance cost and lease cost decreased along with the development of the hospital business.
Network Business
Cost of revenues of the network business was RMB47.7million (US$6.7 million), representing a 44.8% decrease from RMB86.4 million in the first half of 2024, mainly because of the decrease in cost as a result of the decrease in revenue generated from sales and installation of medical equipment and software, and from management and technical support services.
Gross Loss and Gross Loss Margin
Gross loss from the operating business was RMB4.3million (US$0.6 million) in the first half of 2025, compared to RMB41.6 million in the same period last year. The gross loss margin for the first half of 2025 was 2.1%, compared to the gross loss margin of 19.0% for the same period last year. The improvement in gross loss margin of the operating business was mainly because of adjustments in the Company's revenue structure, with the commencement of the proton therapy business bringing efficiency improvements, and the strategic focus on enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs.
Operating Expenses
Selling expenses were RMB21.0 million (US$2.9 million) in the first half of 2025, compared to RMB25.0 million in the first half of 2024. Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues was 10.5% in the first half of 2025, compared to 11.4% in the first half of 2024.
General and administrative expenses were RMB119.4 million (US$16.7 million) in the first half of 2025, of which employee benefit expenses were RMB51.0 million (US$7.1 million). In the same period of last year, general and administrative expenses were RMB131.2 million. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in staff cost and listing expenses, and the strategic focus on enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 59.5% in the first half of 2025, compared to 59.9% in the first half of 2024.
Capital Expenditures
Comparing to RMB168.4 million in the first half of 2024, capital expenditures were RMB100.6 million (US$14.0 million) in the first half of 2025, mainly due to the decrease in deposit for equipment and construction fees for our hospital business.
Bank Loans and Other Borrowings
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had bank loans and other borrowings totaling RMB3.6 billion (US$508.4 million).
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Concord Medical uses certain non-GAAP measures. Concord Medical presents the non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA, which is defined in this announcement as net loss plus interest expenses, net, income tax expenses, depreciation and amortization and other adjustments. Other adjustments include foreign exchange loss, net, other income, net, gain on disposal of equity method investment, gain on disposal of subsidiaries, change in fair value of derivative liability, changes in fair value of short-term investments and gain on disposal of long-lived equipment. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of items that the Company does not consider to be indicative of the performance of the network business and hospital business. The Company believes investors will similarly use adjusted EBITDA as one of the key metrics to evaluate its financial performance and to compare its current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with other companies in the healthcare services industry. The presentation of these additional measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies. The non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached financial information.
