Speaker Change: In terms of industry growth, based on the report of the second-hand mobile phone industry of IDC and the data analysis of platform transactions, the domestic second-hand mobile phone consumer electronics industry is developing at a rate of about 10%.

Speaker Change: Our first concrete judgment is that the increase of the old exchange rate is more than the big market It is a more popular way of recovery for domestic users It is driving the development of the second-hand industry

Speaker Change: The second judgment is that in the slow-paced period of consumption, users will continue to increase their demand for recycled items and high-quality second-hand mobile phones.

Speaker Change: We have observed, referencing IDC market insights, that China's second-hand consumer electronics industry is growing by roughly 10% year-over-year.

Speaker Change: We believe, firstly, trading becomes a trendy option among users, thus outpacing and driving the growth of the industry. Secondly, as consumer spending slows down, the demand for the disposal of pre-owned products and value-for-money quality-assured pre-owned smartphones continues to grow.

Speaker Change: As you can see, second-hand recycling and trading is a market in the growing stage.

Speaker Change: What we need to persist for a long time is the core advantage of Hangshi scene and supply chain, and the trust of users to the brand of Aihuizhou.

通過自有供應鏈能力做好合規的產業鏈翻新增值,實現更多商品可以QC零售,從而更大規模釋放規模效應和產業鏈的價值。

Speaker Change: By integrating supplies from consumers and businesses, leveraging our supply chain capabilities for compliant refurbishment, and increasing retail sales to consumers, we are achieving effective economies of scale and unleashing the value of the industry.

Speaker Change: We believe that within this massive second-hand market, whether consumer electronics, or gold and accessories, bags and watches, with vintage liquor or trendy footwear, there are unique trading characteristics and substantial market value.

Speaker Change: We will relentlessly focus on innovation, keep user experience centric, and expand our offerings to cover more services and product categories.

Speaker Change: On the brand, we believe that user value creation will gradually increase investment on new media platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, and continue to educate and strengthen the brand nature of the first recycling brand in Iowa.

Speaker Change: As we remain steadfast in creating user value, we are committed to building AHS Recycle into a top-of-mind brand in the long run. We continue educating consumers of the AHS Recycle brand via progressive brand exposure on new media platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou.

Thank you for watching. Bye-bye.

Speaker Change: The first question today will be from Joyce Ju with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

Speaker Change: Thank you for the opportunity to ask me a question. My question is to ask if it is possible to ask about the impact on the group with the new subsidies of Ejio Huanxin. Specifically, how should the business volume brought by Ejio Huanxin be quantified? How can we judge the potential of the business growth brought to us by Ejio Huanxin in the fourth quarter and 2025? Then I will translate my question.

Speaker Change: Could management help elaborate a bit on how trading subsidies are driving your business growth? Specifically, how do you quantify the incremental business from trade-ins and what are the expectations for trading business in the fourth quarter of 2024 and also the year after? Thank you.

Speaker Change: First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your support.

Speaker Change: We cooperate closely with JD in the process of landing large-scale consumer products in the country. The leading industry in the country supports rescue innovation.

Speaker Change: 3. The customer's habit is to move from placing an order in JD to placing an order in Yijiu Guanxin.

今年用舊手機3C小家電

折抵換購,新家電的業務可以活躍進行

Speaker Change: There are 100,000 orders during the Double 11, and users are using their old phones to buy new products and recharge their batteries.

Speaker Change: Thank you for your question. We've been working closely with JD.com as a first mover in supporting the National Consumer Group's trade-in program.

Speaker Change: In the third quarter, our recycling and trading business through JD.com increased by over 40%.

Speaker Change: with their trading business doubled. This momentum continued during the single-state grant promotion, where trading recycling value increased by 246% year-over-year.

Speaker Change: There were three factors. First, convenient trading options were offered with joint efforts by JD and AHS Recycle. Second, many phone brands launched new products ahead of the grand promotion coupled with trading subsidies. Third, consumers prefer trading services over regular recycling services.

Speaker Change: Although smartphones have not yet enjoyed direct subsidies from the current nationwide trading stimulation scheme, our partnership with JD on cross-category trading is thriving thanks to our industry-leading second-hand supply chain capabilities.

Speaker Change: Users are actively exchanging their used smartphones and small appliances for discounts on new home appliances. For instance, there were 100,000 orders where users traded in their used phones when purchasing new home appliances during the grant promotion.

Speaker Change: We think that the consumer way of saving money is still in its early stages. The internet business and the platform and the brand still need to continue to educate the users so that more consumers can experience a cost-effective way of spending.

舉個例子,我們預計京東通訊一年自營銷售超過6000萬臺的手機,隨著平臺合作等級的提升,我們在京東場景繼續提升,你就放心,深究率的空間依然巨大。

Speaker Change: We believe that in the change of consumer behavior of users, the necessity of saving money has become a mainstream way of spending. We firmly believe in the ability of the second-hand marriage chain to provide efficient infrastructure support for the industry and support the improvement of user consumption emotions. Next, we will continue to...

Speaker Change: to optimize the service experience of purchasing, ordering, ordering and delivery of Yijiu Huanxing and further improve the ratio of face-to-face transactions to better serve the Yijiu Huanxing and purchase demand of all Chinese users.

Speaker Change: We believe that the adoption of trading is still in its early stages.

Speaker Change: For instance, we expect that through JD Electronics, there is nearly 60 million units of smartphones distributed through this channel annually.

Speaker Change: and with the advancement of our collaboration, we expect the penetration rate of this scenario has substantial growth rate.

Speaker Change: As the Ministry of Finance advances its social and economic development objectives and fiscal policies, we look forward to progress on their goal to enhance the support for large-scale equipment upgrades and to expand the variety and scale of consumer goods trading programs.

Speaker Change: We believe that in the evolution of consumer behavior, trading is destined to become mainstream.

Speaker Change: We remain committed to strengthening our second-hand supply chain capabilities, providing efficient infrastructure support for the industry, and fostering improvements in consumer sentiment.

Speaker Change: As the next step, we continue optimizing private inquiry services, order placement, quality inspection, fulfillment experience, uplifting the proportion of face-to-face fulfillment orders, ultimately bringing our services to the next level.

Speaker Change: The next question comes from Michael Kim with Zach Small Cap Research. Please go ahead.

Speaker Change: Good morning or good evening, everyone. Maybe just to follow up on some of your earlier comments. Just curious to get your thoughts on

Speaker Change: What you're seeing in the market for pre-owned smartphones in terms of transaction volumes it would seem like there are tailwinds on both the supply side with ongoing growth and shipments of new smartphones in China as well as on on the demand side with

Speaker Change: rising demand for used phones just given the somewhat challenging macro backdrop. So just curious to get your thoughts there.

非常感谢提问,我先回答一下近期 号手手机交易量这个问题

Speaker Change: First of all, from the point of view of the supply chain, although the mobile phones in our main products have not directly benefited from the stock policy in the country's large-scale promotion and exchange of new backgrounds, but the ability to exchange new products in cross-products supports our better grasp of C-end recovery resources in the supply chain.

Speaker Change: Thank you for the question. First, on the supply side, under the National Trading Initiative, although our main category of mobile phones has not yet directly benefited from the subsidy policies, our cross-category trading capabilities have enabled us to better capture consumer and recycling sources.

Speaker Change: As discussed in the financial report conference, we have the ability to lead the industry in supply chain, including our ability to build ourselves and return to three-star preparation.

Speaker Change: to maintain a positive return on investment and growth. On the one hand, we will satisfy the needs of merchants who have the ability to buy and sell more by opening and closing factories. On the other hand, we will also play a role in the ability to select multiple channels of sales and directly meet the needs of Western users to purchase high-quality second-hand mobile phones that are cost-effective.

As mentioned in previous earnest calls,

Speaker Change: We have industry-leading supply chain capabilities, including our self-developed compliant refurbishment processes that enhance pre-owned products' quality and boost sales.

Speaker Change: This year, the coverage rate of compliant refurbishment in our 1P business has grown from single digits to meaningful double digits preliminarily. We are more effective at identifying products suitable for reconditioning, which has resulted in sustained revenue growth from refurbished products on both a quarterly and annual basis.

Speaker Change: On one hand, through our PGT marketplace, we are meeting the needs of more retailers. On the other hand, we leverage our self-operated AHS-ELECT retail channels to directly serve consumers seeking quality-assured, pre-owned smartphones.

Speaker Change: From our self-managed selection sales channels, this quarter, the selected retail income has achieved a 120% growth. Among them, the retail income of Erhuishou Men Dian and Guan Wang has increased by more than three times.

我们认为在消费缓行的趋势下,尤其是在下层人群市场,

Speaker Change: will have a lot of room for growth. We will also continue to increase investment in the brand, channels, and capability of QC sales.

Speaker Change: On retail distribution, our 1B to consumer revenue grew by 120% year-over-year.
