Speaker #4: The live business, in terms of MAT growth, is 105% year-over-year. Even though the revenue generated from these three new businesses is small proportionally, the growth trend is massive.
Speaker #4: So we expect the new business IoT SIM and live will scale our use basis to a multi-millions basis. So that's the give us a future strong growth potentials to 10 million use basis in the next couple of years.
Yimeng Shi: We expect the new business, IoT, GoCommerce Theme, and GoCommerce Live, will scale our use basis to a multimillion basis. That gives us the future's strong growth potential to 10 million use basis in the next couple of years.
Speaker #4: Yeah. And Jeff, add some more comments about these, because we put a lot of R&D resources into the branding and marketing. So, there has been a significant investment in these three new products for over a year now.
Chaohui Chen: Yeah, I'm Jeff. I have some more comments about this. Because we put a lot of R&D resources into branding and marketing, so investment in these three new products we already have nearly more than one year. For IoT, we already invested here for three years. We can see the IoT part. It is now going to a new stage because we already finished the testing period with the major leader in the industry for IoT. Now it is starting to launch the product. We can see the faster growth from the revenue side and the MAT side. You can see some, for example, like the measure meter, maybe every month just active ones. MAT can more reflect the IoT growth. We can see now it is on the right track. We believe the trend of every month we can see the data is fast growing.
Speaker #4: And for IoT, we have already invested here for three years. So we can see the IoT part. It has not gone to a new stage because we have already finished the testing period with the major leader in the industry.
Speaker #4: For IoT. So now it's starting to launch the product. So we can see the faster growth from revenue side and the MAT side. Because you can see some for example like the major matter maybe every month just active ones.
Speaker #4: So MAT more can more reflect the IoT growth. So we can see now it's on the right track right under we believe the trend of the every month we can see the data is fast growing.
Speaker #4: So we believe IoT will be the fourth one to see the to make a positive profit. So after three years investment. That's the first.
Chaohui Chen: We believe IoT will be the first one to make a positive profit. After three years' investment, that is the first. Second, from the SIM card, we already sold a SIM card for 300 pieces. We get the experience. We know how to play the game in this industry. In some travel lines, for example, like China, travel to Hong Kong, travel to Macau, travel to Japan, we already go to the tier one sector. For in this SIM card service in China. Now we are more confident because we have a new product for eSIM Trio. This innovative super SIM card came out, and we just launched at the end of June. Through the, I think we do the promotion with the FunZone, okay, for the live advertisement. It gets a very fast growth as well. Finally, you can see our GoCommerce Live product.
Speaker #4: And second, from the SIM card, we already sold SIM card for 300 pieces. So we get the experience we know how to play the game in this industry.
Speaker #4: So in some travel lines, for example, like China travel to Hong Kong, travel to Macau, travel to Japan, we have already gone to the tier one sector.
Speaker #4: So for in this SIM card service in China. So now we are more confident because we have new product for eSIM trio. This innovative SIM card come up.
Speaker #4: And we just launched end of the June. So through the I think we do the promotion in the with the phone zone okay for the live advertisement.
Speaker #4: So it gets a very fast growth as well. So the finally, so you can see our local midlife product currently the smaller revenue is if we start to launch our local midlife product end of last years.
Chaohui Chen: Currently, the smaller revenue is we start to launch our GoCommerce Live product end of last year. It is for cable. It is our Unicall. It is a fourth product and a loan product. In the second quarter, end of second quarter, we had a new second generation of the live product come out, like Unicall Plus, like this new Unicall Pro. This new product comes out. It is more stronger capability, more high performance. It will be winning more market share. More important, I just emphasize here is our pet phone product. I think it is our we already finished many trials. Also, we try to improve our product better and better. We keep in our R&D, and we just let our product reach our requirements. That is why we delayed the launch of the commercial launch.
Speaker #4: So it's for cable; it's our unicorn, it's our fourth product and a long plug. At the end of the second quarter, we have the new second generation of the live product coming out.
Speaker #4: Like a unicorn plus like this new a unicorn pro, this new product come out is more stronger capability, more high performance. It will be with more market share.
Speaker #4: So a more important I just emphasize here is our platform product. I think it's our we already the platform we already finished many trial.
Speaker #4: So and also we try to improve our improve our product better and better. We keep in our R&D and we just let up product to reach our requirement.
Speaker #4: So that's why we delay the launch of the commercial launch our previous we supposed to launch in the second quarter but now we are postponed to the August as middle of the middle of this August we will launch the global widely.
Chaohui Chen: Our preview is we were supposed to launch in the second quarter, but now we are postponed to the August. As middle of this August, we will launch the GlocalMe world phone series of our pet phone. I think currently the feedback and the trial is very positive for our new version. We believe this will lead to fast growth after our heavy investing in the branding and the marketing. I just give a brief about our three new product line growth. Although we have some impact on the tariff, as I mentioned, for tariff impact for our traditional product, I think we can see the fast growth for new products.
Speaker #4: Our platform, I think, currently has received very positive feedback during the trial for our new version. So we believe this will lead to fast growth and support our heavy investing in branding and marketing.
Speaker #4: So that's the I just give a brief about our three new product now growth. Although we have some impact from the tariff as I mentioned from for micro for tariff the impact for our traditional product.
Speaker #4: But I think we can see the fast growth for new product.
Speaker #3: Thank you very much. My next and my last question is about sales of products were below expectations and I was wondering if you could give us some more detail on that.
Theodore O'Neill: Thank you very much. My next and my last question is about sales of products were below expectations. I was wondering if you could give us some more detail on that. Was that tariff-related? Is it particular geographies?
Speaker #3: Was that tariff related? Is it particular geographies?
Speaker #4: Yeah. As difficult this own it for the second quarters. Our the quarter revenues is achieved below the guidance. And 23 million US dollars. The main reason for this for this low is revenues achievements.
Yimeng Shi: Yeah. Because there's earnings for the second quarter, our quarterly revenues achieved below the guidance, that's $23 million. The main reason for this low revenue achievement is the legacy mobile broadband business. The order from Japan was delayed, that was a couple of million U.S. dollars. But this order will be placed in this quarter, the third quarter. This is the main reason for the second quarter's revenues achieved below the guidance. The second is the macroeconomic reasons and trade headwinds. Our sales on the U.S. market have not reached the expectations. The major geographic reason is the Japanese market's delayed orders. The second is the trade headwinds. That's a little bit impacted our sales in the U.S. market.
Speaker #4: Because it's the legacy mobile broadband business. The order from Japan was delayed, which amounted to a couple of million US dollars.
Speaker #4: But this order will be placed in this quarter third quarters. This main reason for the second quarters revenues achieved below the guidance. And the second micro reasons microeconomics and trade headwinds.
Speaker #4: That's we our sales on the US market have not reached the expectations. So that's the major geographic reasons is Japan's markets delayed orders. The second is the trade headwinds.
Speaker #4: So, that's a little bit impacting our sales in the U.S. market. Yeah.
Speaker #3: Thank you very much.
Theodore O'Neill: Thank you very much.
