For any basis are a life represented, a net addition of five million users

Turning to financials as a reminder, my prepared remarks would focus on results and all the comparisons are many rear basis unless otherwise noted know let me walk you through our financial highlights for the first quarter of 2021.

Total first quarter 20 21, our leading articles in terms of the contributions since the products. And e-commerce, we will have. I become the Cornerstone of many advertisers. In this traditionally heavy spent the industries to fulfill their integrity branding plus performance needs.

apart from low base affect this, vertical have been experiencing black head, secular growth momentum, leveraging Tailwinds, in consumption Behavior shift, as well as I differentiate, he, the social Marketing Solutions,

Ad products protective to see is continued to be the largest part followed by social and other adults, wanted to chat. I'm talking encourage would-be customers of list that work at all to drive users. All shut down the fertile to achieve aside, her our I mostly generated from our differentiated promoted. Check at the top two products home delivered, a strong growth, many driven by increase of adding inventories and the positive pricing tests as well as a relatively low base last year during a chemical.

Revenue contribution from video ad, also continued to Trend app, many benefiting from continuous growth of mount for video, ad products and app pens. If I go to the moment, this our video account program ad revenues from Alibaba for the first quarter was 33 + 3 million + 5. 25%. Despite a relatively High base from last year as well. Continues to deliver double-digit growth speaking to this value of our partnership in service integrated marketing, demand for both platforms Brands. And more chance that says advance from Alibaba or relating to his own business operation, especially is marketing strategies. Which may change from time to time. As communicated earlier, we can log

And amortization expense has a monkey to 24 million.

Lastly, let's talk about our financial Outlook but I anticipate second quarter of 2020 by Revenue.

To grow by twenty-five to thirty percent in your year. Constant currency basis, this book has also reflects, we was current and preliminary review and is subject to change with that. Let me know. Turn over to the operator for the Q&A session. Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. Do you also question, you need to press star one on your telephone to withdraw your question. Please. Press the pound or haschke.

If this question comes from the line of Alicia CT group, please ask the question.

Eh, thank you. I want to talk to a rep about Vena has show like he should. He can't dollar just bought a whole month you're hanging age. He was talking to him and make sure that we got

Yes, I get. Should you should say? Congratulations on the very strong results. So wanted to

Follow up on this strong outperformance. In the first quarter was that mainly driven by the secular address especially with a low base wage or we actually seeing we are gaining market share in terms of the aperture allocation from The Advertiser any color that management could provide it home. The trend going into the second quarter, for example, April, or the first week of May, some of the strong vertical that you see in first quarter of the also seeing the trend continued into April and they thank you.

Well, not realize. How about you suck? It wasn't, now. Aren't you go get free children. So, Monday through Thursday. It's usually showing off. And let me show. Not only including the dog.

Yep. Yep. Yep. You soon know, yep. Yep.

You shall not here. I'm holding up. You got off easy way to help a minimum. Sure that I'm I'm good. Do you cook? What you use on the no.

All right. Okay, so so first of all, thank you very much for the question. That's just be very brief. So, first of all, we have been seeing that in q1, we had a big growth and a part of the reason was due to the kind of a urea-based like low Base number of the last quarter q1 of last year but that was only partially. The reason. However, we can see that people are talking about the growth rate of the YouTube, this is still, you know as robust as q1. So only partially reason and also let me talk about the external and also internal reasons of having that high growth of the club performance of the advertisement advertisement. So first of all, externally we are seeing that, the recovery of many verticals are very robust. For example, the consumer related Industries, like off the e-commerce, and also fmcg and automobile and are curious as well. And also some of the other very competitive markets. For example, the gaming and also the education industry, which was somehow wage

The impacted by a certain policies but still you know we have seek to strive to realize our Target said in the beginning of the year if we're talking about the year-on-year growth. So this is something about a very good vertical performance and also internally. We are talking about the reasons. For example, last year, we have been doing some kind of a restructuring of our sales system. So in the past couple we had a branding team and sales team, there was very much a, you know, focused and strong at doing service and providing service to those Ka customers. However, they are relatively no weaker in South Riding the services to smbs and also on the country, those SMS sales teams were very much dedicated in providing services, and also get budgets from the gaming and education industry wage. They're pretty much stoning helping to download or helping to sell the courses but not that much in, in terms of organizing activity or doing some kind of a branding work for those SME. Customers dead.

Lots of things second half of last year, we have been doing in restructuring of our sales system. That is the reason that after Q4 that we can see that we're not performing like the other companies that are only focusing on either brand or Ka customers or SMS but we actually don't have combined this and also that is to say we have a higher and also better spent in gaining the back from our customers and also improve our competitiveness because the the customers could approach way before for a lot of Effectiveness, for example, content marketing, and branding, and also affected for this etcetera etcetera. So that is to say that we are providing a whole package of solution to the customers and also, you know, that in terms of the quickest are grown. Now, one of the quickest growing verticals like automobile which had over sixty percent of the performance or growth and that is to say the kind of effect has been also SMS ad

The quickest growing pot. However, in this education, sector will be seeing that. The brand part is actually the biggest

Growing sector so that to say in a word we are having stronger ability to actually know gain more budget from our customers. All right, thank you so much. Thank you. Next question comes from a question.

Thank you management for taking my questions and congratulations on very strongly Tales. So I'd like to ask about your strategy focused in the in the user productivity. So what will be your key initiatives to increase the user engagement with in terms of your product design and walk ins? And would you like to share any specific targets for some of them. Thank you.

Monthly charges. Are you familiar with the time and for how long are you dead dead?

Visa not that busy on and off again took me off so bad taste in Chicago on the phone number.

Tell me if I'm wrong. So thank you for this question. First of all, you know, since June of last year and also in q1, this quarterly or report, we have already mentioning some of the works in Ephesus focusing on the user engagement announcement. And also for example, the first is that we are trying to get access to those low frequency uses and especially improving their frequency from the external sources. And also second from the internal sources we are talking about, for example, we focus more on those kind of activity, and also more engagement on the core scenarios. And especially for example, those interest driven or interest-based scenarios like the super topic dead.

And also, we are.

Going to, you know, increase the frequency of the content consumption in the from the chaos and also the gamers as well as the campus and except for products and also like the super topic and that is the exact reason why we had over forty percent of the gross on the super topic. And also and talking about the monetization we're going to action will start doing the monetization things Q2 of this year. I'm also third point is, we are exercising a lot on the growth of the video account. And also you can see that not only this can help us to develop the U and Mao the user size but also more importantly that we can, you know, enhance the consumption of contents and also consumption scale of the videos. So that is exactly a focus on the environment or enlargement of the time span on the videos within the system. So that is to say that we have been gaining a lot. In terms of the traffic inventory in this area wage

Business specifically important for us to drive vs m, e ad industry, and also products and also talking about the Q3 and Q2. I don't think that there is any big change. So in a word we're just going to focus on three areas. The first is that, you know, more Channel access to increase the frequency to be more specific. And second is that focusing more on the social content products and also Thursday video products.

All right. Okay, thank you. Next question. Comes from Thomas from Jefferies. Please go ahead.

My phone is dead guy's Meal, which I social? Mm. Mm. No special for you hiring Choi management for taking my questions. Um, I just have a question relating to the cost side. Do you think that we are going to invest more in content to drive use across a human? Can we say about our spending project for this year together with the trend in R&D and sales and marketing? Thank you.

Yep. Yep. As well as usual. I'm going to try either.

all right, so

First of all, you know, let's give you the answer relates to the content part. So, you know, things this year, we are talking about a kind of like, you know, competitive landscape here. And also we are going to be more on the investment to the content. But, of course, that this particular fashion of doing the investment is quite much different from the investing to the content or two to the video. Sorry, so that is to say like God, we're talking about the collaborations with the NBA last year. Also CPA and also Chinese Super League Football League of this year quite similar. Um so that is to say that we are going to focus more on the birth of those kind of a social accounts like in a way bowl and also to do some kind of monetization or socialization work, but we're not going to act like a video actor, which is to say that we are not going to buy a lot of contents in a sense.

Anyway, how's it going to require some money down on their way home?

So that second of all, is talk to you about the monetization or the business side or commercial side. So that is to say that, you know, first of all, we are trying to provide our customers, the kind of a commercial solution that is pretty much focused on the map content marketing. So that is to say that, uh, all together, the regular back-up solutions that we are providing to our customers. We also going to put and include inside package, the kind of a content created by the chaos and also, those top-notch goelz. So that will generate a certain part in this particular area. However, if you are talking about the kind of a sales gross margin of this particular area, we are not seeing in any deduction on the gross margins here. So Thursday to say that even though the absolute figure is going to kind of increase but talking about the percentage against the total sales, this is not changing.

You don't see me like you know, me as long as you're not seeing them off to them, you know, kind of a decent wage wage, should not feel any better job.

Concorde, please.

I'm more intense competition here. We're going to spend more money in getting access to users, especially if you use it and also more engaged and active users. And also that is to say, however, having said that our lack of use acquisition cost is relatively lower than are competitive. And also second of all, we are having a more stringent appraisal over the ri of this particular area. So, that is to say that, you know, in half a year of time, we're going to try to balance this particular kind of investment versus the user acquisition cost. So let's say that the conclusion is that seems to Thursday. We have already seen a big increase of this particular expenditure on the channels. However, we are going to definitely know focus more on the sustainable, kind of a growth of the channels. And also we are going to have more stringent policies over the appraisal of this particular indicator. And also our eye of this expenditure

And also a third of all, let's talk about the expenditures on the Channel Side. So as we have already stated last year, that things this year, we are definitely not going to expand or expands more focusing on the channels. So the reasons, our first of all because of higher competition,

Great, thank you. Next question. Comes from Alex Morgan Stanley. Please ask a question.

She said, just over a thousand times out. Thank you management for taking my questions. So, also on the show results. So, like to get a sense of like a reason, like the regular regulatory, or like the Crackdown what that have like any impact on like a enemy operational or financial impact on our fundamental. Thank you.

So yeah, we we did when she goes to show up with inflation. Let me see if he's in advance and she said, I need what, what should I name my dog.

You know, going into teaching the home office. We the thing is only chairs or $2 because you said, you had a 2018. Yeah. So where does that she's dead?

Data.

And also, you know, talking about this question, first of all, I have to say that this is not a very good question for waiver to, but rather by do i t should come in on this but however let me just show you some of these opinions. So I think that we're talking about the two levels of Regulation. The first one is that you know first of all we're not talking, you know, about this particular fan economy but I think that this is more like a kind of illegal funding or crowdsourcing and also to help those fans to hit the ranking. But thing is that you know, all those kind of launching or initiating kind of a platform or the funding of warm water. Promotional platforms. There are not wage war, but actually people are discussing however all those topics on weibo. So we are keeping a very close eye on this topic and also a very close relationship and also communication with the government and also second of all, I'm talking about the fan economy. I think that this is pretty common here in China also in the other part of the world. And also I think, wow.

So you know, anyway when trying to tie vert this particular to a very good direction and positive direction. So that is to say that this topic has been talked and discussed for months and also for the issue of the half a year. And also, for example, talking about the kol survey thing weibo, and my thing that they're fine economy is more like you know engage in their fans to really suck. Do some pro bono activities or charity and activities or some some of the positive energy oriented activities. For example, that one of the indicators that we care and concern about is the charity value that created by that kol together with their fans and followers. So that is to say that very very thing. This is something very positive driven and also having said that still for this particular problem or issue. As you have described, this may occur and emerge due to the period of time. When

When the reality show actually was quite popular but the platform wasn't quite complete and there wasn't a very complete agent system or the service and system in place. So some of the month forms were taking advantage of that and trying to know promote this so-called fan economy of that. But that wasn't something quite virtuous and benign. So I think that need to be eradicated outwards. Yep, yep. Yep.

To you soon.

Justin. How may I help you?

So, and also another thing that's that in a pasta 1/4, we have been seeing a very active communication of weibo. And also our regular dead bodies, so that to say that for the platform and big platforms such as wave, or we are having a very stringent requirement over the management of the fans, and also offer the fans group, as well as the agency and also the bells and the themselves. So we should manage and that to say that verification of the identities of the following month. So the fans group of that particular agent company or the kol is a must. And also necessary thing for us to do so that is to say we are not allowing any activities organized by the relevant fans group according to that regulation. And also I think that this is a beneficial thing for the development of this industry and also a very healthy.

Development and management of this whole fence economy. But thing is that, you know, this might see in a kind of, a temporary um, impact on the pause and. Of some kind of a reality show programs. And this main have seen a kind of reduction over the short-term traffic on that. However I think it's pretty much important facts label to manage this as a whole. And also we are going to gain long-term benefit by managing strictly on this particular notion.

All right, right. Thank you. So we have reached the end of the question and answer session with that we conclude our conference for today. Thank you for participating. You may all disconnect

off off off off.
