It means customer retention rate coupled with the fact that our customers have increased their spending with us through upsell, upgrades, and expansion. This is the best testament of our sustainable SaaS business.

There are a couple things I can share more. Firstly, revenue in Q3 has been very strong. All business line recorded great year-over-year double-digit growth. What that mean is we are now head and shoulder above where we were a year ago. Both the subscription business and the Financial Risk Management recorded their own best revenue quarter in history. Equally important is the revenue by EngageLab, where it contributed RMB 13 million in this quarter alone, also a historical high. We grew our revenue not at the expense of sacrificing margins.

Equally important is the revenue by English, let Wade contributed RMB $13 million in this quarter alone also a historical high.
We grew our revenue not at the expense of sacrificing margins. This is evident that while we grew our revenue.
Guan Yang Chen: This is evident that while we grew our revenue significantly, our gross profit reached the highest level for the past 15 quarters. At the same time, our gross margin increased year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter too. This is a really hard act to follow. Since revenue, gross profit grew at a faster pace than our OPEX, the US GAAP net profits is a certainty, which is why we had the second consecutive quarters of US GAAP net profit. Two other important and great KPIs that I would like to reiterate here. One is the NDR, where we reached 104% for our core developer subscription business. This is the very first time NDR exceeded 100%. What that means is simple and straightforward. Our customers have been buying more of our services between the periods through upgrades, upsells, and other services. This is a great number to have.
