Thank you.

Your next question.

Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Binnie Wong from HSBC. Please ask your question.

Uh huh.

[laughter] 20 times on somehow she there's a lot appealing eight cents you guys kind of catching on what kind out like you can be as I'm sure you'll actually see <unk>, because I guess I'm on my not wish I won't you should taper shuffle in wages should take a each in that Michelle hi, She shorter she joined takeover seems just a woman doesn't make a pension monetization nationally.

Ill hop physical call here, what keeps you become not yeah, what kinda argument that gets a press release woman Dolce occasionally it that John Deysher went away I get machine and she wants to diversify what might the judge attention to make a monetization streams and then that can help so what that sounds like a shortage of what they heard it you get used to.

I just didn't you were talking about you see a tissue just your job title for the coming out my notch, what I, just think Jason Shandell Szabo, well my pleasure to export even assuming you can't isn't the content.

Yeah, what went into interest you're going to show that we're making am <unk>. We can you got your sort of moving out the answer is yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, sorry, let me translate my question in terms of the monetization here, we saw that make it comes out the total revenue folks it's too early because they are solid and then is that.

Related to me because of the advertising growth slowed down due to the corporate 19 or is that essentially some structural reasons that we should be aware off.

Then I think the press release, you also mentioned Oh youre niche that came about the fact rationalization of our monetization schemes I just wanted to understand I'm more in terms of Holly acquisition in that and in terms of given that the subscriber number has also been going nicely I think all they still relatively soft.

Thank you and also with Debbie or any color in terms of our subscriber target as well. Thank you.

But what will you that Oh, when I started my personal.

John.

You can drill hole GE learned.

You know for sure.

There's no doubt onetime smaller young talent pool, which means you bought.

Number one.

When you trade unions, which entropic jump that don't yard. So what do you do it will be crucial that your shop magician.

Regional drill hole, you can change out Oh God bless you at each of these young in Taiwan golf.

You want me and whatnot.

Oh on all that you fly shut off Weve actually jentsch awesome.

Okay, our sure.

She digital media I sure Donald.

Oh no formal from your engine.

Colonialism aren't you do a multiple leisure geometry, and she loves and you go where some people. So we got yet you Jim that you've seen the engine.

I should yet.

Hobbies entry for your question I will comment on day on the Oh.

Membership first and also the advertising and then we'll.

His comments I think it's a normal patterns that you know during the pandemic operate people what too much entertainment So I hope.

For cheap if that people had somewhat hard I'll say a too much Alliance entertainment. We observed is also a in previous years when Youre Olympic games. After the Didnt look over people, we all the time.

What she.

Consumption will decline so that that that's the first thing I want to match.

Our novel pageant, especially when people, graduating tying back to work and kinda back to school I think it's really very natural for people to video online.

As a result.

Got our membership happiness.

Oh fluctuation in terms of the retention.

And secondly, I wish I actually for brand advertising.

Our revenue.

Clients a major reason is because oh the.

I would highlight willingly.

Two.

For outstanding I Love your budget for I had an allocation has been had some impact because of the.

Michael E com because of the.

Hi, and another reason if some of our major account has played a bigger content.

I have been pushed out to Q3 two to four from Q2 Ah that's understandable because of that pandemic <unk>.

So you know because of the content like that we will also have some negative impact on our advertising.

Thank you.

Total.

Morning.

Oh I taught also cuts to through a different angle.

No I'm always talking about the supply demand they use a key and to understand is a business trend up for <unk> for the same caught a definite because of this like say probably nitin new situation, you will see challenger all like decreasing demand though.

Second quarter.

Also.

I think if you're talking about like structure issues. We are facing the next few quarters beside us it's like see onetime Javier situation, yes, there'll be some CIJ factors, we haven't talking about for very long time in the past few quarters, we chase I can tell itself, which actually dependent.

The supply.

And of our platform actually I think even in the previous question Ela asks about like through the profile of the paying subscribers steering the Elizabeth I too would require like the decrease in pure right.

And I think more even pardon if not the profile for those acquired worth is because.

And most of the case the free because they have the payment.

Decide to the balance of subscribers, so ciber and similar situation here I think if we continue to you bet that you are already into contact continued to improve the quality of our human content.

Definitely you were trying to do the pattern here, so lets back to the normal let's back up to the basis of our business. We were still both on the go to go we have been.

Focusing the past few years, we will continue.

And technology reinvesting tech larger the Oregon content like my view for these like see what are your call like structure or onetime case factors. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you that's very helpful.

The final question comes from the line of Thomas Chong from Jefferies. Please ask your question.

Hi, Good morning expense management for taking my questions I'm I've a question regarding our the timing on profitability.

That E content cost, we are seeing benefits coming from.

D. cap on the I test compensation and in Q1, Oh, we have seen that deep was Oh divorced loss is actually are less than 300 median allenby given the fact that more and more.

Benefits on the content cost will come in China, Taiwan, and trying to 22, Oh can management give us some color about a in terms of the so it was probably try and all the timing of profitability, especially if one each functional what does he went well they're going to issue equity.

A woman so much a whole waste about breakeven cogent she didn't need I suggest you make handball automation, but probably in that kind of the industry, but you didn't say oh, sorry about that holiday you got Tricia. Its you know how a woman GP that Q1.

No we didn't see us I wish I eat or they get all patients. So do you find yourself reliable than say the most Chicago commodity Hi, O US unless you can you talk about Oh, yeah, I didn't need us agenda, I, especially want to jump.

Okay. That's all them US access it's in line you question. It's a it's a very frequently asked the question a six also.

Well be exactly the same or the way we provided before because nothing actually challenges for the top foundation of there's been is.

If we can I just mentioned, we can still improving the quality of our within the compound we have thea inquiries of all of them off already content. The in for the mix authority in content.

By by doing that definitely will extract more paying subscriber on our platform increasing the margin increasing the revenue.

And no even measuring the tablet fun monetization models so basically.

[music].

What do we should the folks I'll is not a timing a timetable, but again, we should focus on the quality of hours in contact and bye bye.

I mentioned before by decrease the content costs as percentage of revenue and talk about like 50% to 55% a U.S.C. I definitely a a acceptable profit margin in the next few years. So.

If you still want to know what exact time table at what I can tell you. The I would exterior maintain though are going to it appears you over this year's margin level or the operating loss level. So give you some sense either way they like the we called probably Nike mm.

Situation the management Ostia keep the old you know all log off the long term development I was hoping is well still confident on our path to profitability. Thank you.

She goes will show that we're making a only or wait you got your people moving out.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, sorry, let me translate my question in terms of the monetization here, we saw that jumpstart. The total revenue folks, it's still a little bit solved and then a is that.

Related to me because of the advertising growth slowed down due to the corporate 19 or is that that's released some structural reasons that we should be aware off.

Then I think the press release, you also mentioned Oh.

Decade, apart the diversification of our monetization streams I just wanted to understand I'm more in terms of Holly acquisition in that and in terms of given that the subscriber number has also been going nicely advertising corpus Juris itself.

Thank you and also with Debbie any color in terms of our subscriber target as well. Thank you.

Almost all shop in shop.

Come on R&D do.

What do these young audience it off and you go where some people. So we got your unit.

Sure it yet.

Hi, Thank you for your question I will comment on day.

The Oh.

Membership first and also the advertising and then we will add his comments I think it's our normal pattern.

During the pandemic upgrade people what too much entertainment I observed.

For cheap if people were.

Somewhat hard optics.

Too much Alliance Entertainment, we observed is also in previous years.

After the kids over people will.

The washing up.

Functional will decline so that that that's the first thing I want to match.

Hi, Jim it's actually when people, graduating coming back to work come back to school I think it's really very logical for people to videos online. So that are the result.

That's not our membership happiness.

Fluctuation in terms of the retention.

And secondly, I actually for brand advertising.

Our revenue.

Clients a major reason is because.

The.

I would highlight willingly.

Two.

Sure.

I'd Love your budget for at hadn't allocation has been.

You know had some impact because of.

Michael E com because of the.

Impacts and another reason if some of our major account has played labor content.

I have been push out too.

Twoq through Fourq long future, that's understandable because of that pandemic.

So because of the accountants late that we will also have active impact on our advertising.

Thank you.

So.

Morning.

I tried to alter the question through a different angle.

You know I'm always talking about the supply demand they use a key.

To understand as a business trend up for the for the second quarter definite because of this like say covering biting situation you with the challenger or like a decreasing demand.

Second quarter and also I think if you're talking about like structure issues. We are facing the next few quarters beside us it's like see what type of situation. The theyll be some stage and factors. We haven't talking about people are very long time in the past few quarters.

Okay, I can tell itself, which actually becoming the supply.

Of our platform actually I think even in the previous question Ela asks about like through the profile of the.

Paying subscribers steering the list that you would call like the decrease in pure rate.

I think more even important is not the profile of those acquired worse, it's because.

Most of the case the fruit because they have the payment.

Side of the balance of subscribers. So ciber similar situation here I think if we continue with what you invest that you are already under contract continued to improve the quality of our human content.

Certainly your what showed you the pattern here so lets back to the normal that's better for the basis of our business. We will see are both on the go to where we have been.

Focusing the past few years. It we will continue in the technology reinvesting tech larger the Oregon the content like my view for the it's like see what are your call like structure. All one time case specter's. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you that's very helpful.

The final question comes from the line of Thomas Chong from Jefferies. Please ask your question.

Hi, Good morning expense management for taking my questions.

I've a question regarding the timing on profitability.

Isn't that.

The content cost, we are seeing benefits coming from.

The cap on the I test compensation and in Q1, we have seen that deepwater.

Most of its actually less than 300 million I'll be.

Given the fact that more and more.

Benefits onto content cost will come in China, just trying to one and trying to 22.

Can management give us some color about a in comes off the.

So it was probably trend or the timing of profitability.

So just want a challenge I wanted to you and what they're going to issue equity.

So much a whole about breakeven cogency you need us again.

Oh.

Finally in Cambodia, China, but you didn't say Oh, sorry about that you got Trisha Oh.

GP that Q1.

No we didn't see us I wish that.

They get patients. So are you, saying when you're probably libel and see the most Chicago Malady, Hi, ill also must again, how about yes, you need us agenda.

Sure.

Okay. That's helpful.

It's it's not like a new questar hit its a very frequent Dr Pepper truth.

Six also.

Well be exactly the same by the way we provided before because nothing actually change for the bump on days you have there been if if we can I just mentioned, we can steer improve the quality of our within the context would have thea inquiries. The volume of already content that is where the mix authority in content.

By by doing that definitely we will attract more paying subscriber our platform increasing the margin increasing the revenue.

And now even measuring the tablet fund monetization models so basically.

[music].

What we should the folks is not a time a timetable, but again, we should have focused on the quality of our within contact and.

Bye bye.

Before by decrease the content costs as percentage of revenue and talk about it like 50% to 55%.

You will see a definite.

Except the wall profit margin in the next few years so.

If you will see a wants to know exact time table at what I can tell you is our exterior maintain though are going to appears you obviously see us margin level or the operating.

Last level, so give you some sense either way this like see we called Carbonite mm.

Situation the management to us.

And keep the or even though our local to long term development of the been is well still confident on our path to profitability. Thank you.

Thank you.

There are no further questions at this time I would now like to hand, the conference back to today's presenters see may continue.

Thank you all again for joining todays call if you have.
