The intelligent distribution model breaks through the limitations of isolated platform data by integrating multi-dimensional inputs such as omni-channel user behavior, scenario preferences, and transaction attribution data.

Speaker #3: 晚上好，谢谢管理层接受我的提问。我的第一个问题是关于我们最近看到一季度，汽车行业的走势比较弱。想问公司管理层怎么看今年中国车市的发展。第二个问题是关于技嘉还有海尔战略的协同，会体现在哪些方面？谢谢。 Good evening, thanks to management for picking my question. My first question is about the industry trend. We have seen the auto industry is a bit soft in Q1.
Thomas Chong: 晚 上 好 ， 谢 谢 管 理 层 介 绍 。 我 的 提 问 ， 我 第 一 个 问 题 是 关 于 我 们 最 近 看 到 一 季 度 的 话 ， 汽 车 行 业 的 走 势 是 比 较 弱 ， 想 问 公 司 管 理 层 怎 么 看 今 年 中 国 车 市 的 发 展 。 第 二 个 问 题 是 关 于 卡泰驰 还 有 战 略 的 协 同 ， 会 体 现 在 哪 些 方 面 ？ 谢 谢 。Good evening. Thanks management for taking my question. My first question is about the industry trend. We have seen auto industry is a bit soft in Q1. Can management provide more color about your thoughts about the auto industry outlook? My second question is about Autohome and Haier.
Speaker #3: Can management provide more color about your thoughts on the auto industry outlook? And my second question is about Autohome and Higher. Can management comment on the updates regarding the synergies?
Thomas Chong: Can management comments about the updates regarding the synergies? Thank you.
Speaker #3: Thank you.
Speaker #4: 谢谢你的提问。就像您说的，国内的一季度的车市是比较弱的。车用车的整体的销量同比下滑了17%。新能源其中在其中下滑了21%。这可能也是新能源汽车单独统计的时候，销量首次在出现同比下滑，而且下滑了21%。那4月份的话，据我们了解，车用车的零售和新能源车还是持续的下降。分别下降了是这个22%和7%。这个也是政策行业消费端多重压力叠加的一个结果。
Craig Yan Zeng: 谢谢你的提问。就像您说的，国内的一季度的车市是比较弱的，乘用车的整体的销量同比下滑了17%，新能源在其中下滑了21%，这可能也是新能源汽车单独统计的时候，销量首次出现同比下滑，而且下滑了21%。那4月份的话，据我们了解，乘用车的零售和新能源车还是持续的下降，分别下降的是22%和7%。这个也是政策、行业、消费端多重压力叠加的一个结果。
Speaker #2: Thank you for your question. As you mentioned, in China, the auto market weakened in the fourth quarter this year. Retail sales of passenger vehicles declined 17% year over year, while NEV sales declined 21% year over year.
Sterling Song: Thank you for your question. As you mentioned, in China, the auto market weakened in the first quarter this year. Retail sales of passenger vehicles declined 17% year over year, while NEV sales declined 21% year over year. It is the first quarter in history where NEV sales recorded a year over year decline in the past the first time. In April this year, retail sales for both passenger vehicles and NEV continued to fall further, declining 22% and 7% respectively compared to the same period in 2025. This is the result of multiple pressures converging from government policy, industry conditions, as well as consumer demand.
Speaker #2: So it is the first quarter in history where NEV sales recorded a year over year decline in the past. The first time. And in April this year, retail sales for both passenger vehicles and NEVs both continued to fall further declining 22% and 7%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2025.
Speaker #2: So this is the result of multiple pressures converging from government policy industry conditions as well as consumer demands.
Speaker #3: 政策端的阶段性调整透支了一些需求。这个确实也是销量下滑的一个核心诱因。大家知道新能源的免征购置税的政策12月底到期，所以这样的话就让很多的消费者的购车的需求会前置。我们看到25年12月新能源销售量单月是134万辆，这是历史最高了。这当然也就是透支了2026年一季度的一些需求。
Craig Yan Zeng: 政策端的阶段性调整透支了一些需求，这个确实也是销量下滑的一个核心诱因。大家知道，新能源的免征购置税的政策12月底到期，所以这样的话，就让很多的消费者的购车的需求会潜质。我们看到2025年12月，新能源销售量单月是134万辆，这是历史最高了。这当然也就透支了2026年一季度的一些需求。
Sterling Song: The fifth, government policy adjustment and the pulling forward of consumer demand. It's the core reason, main reason behind the sales decline. As you know, the policy exempting the New Energy Vehicle from purchase tax expired at the end of December last year. This policy expiration really caused consumers to bring forward their car purchases. We saw EV retail sales reach nearly 1.34 million units in December last year alone. This is a record high in history. This also directly puts forward part of the demand that would otherwise have appeared in Q1 this year.
Speaker #2: The fifth government policy adjustment and the putting forward of consumer demand is the core reason, main reason behind the sales decline. As you know, the policy exempting the new energy vehicle from purchase tax expired at the end of December last year.
Speaker #2: So this policy expiration really caused consumers to bring forward their car purchases. So we saw NEV retail sales reach nearly 1.34 million units in December last year alone.
Speaker #2: So this is a record high in history. This also directly put forward part of the demand that would otherwise have appeared in the first quarter this year.
Speaker #3: 今年政策的国补退坡，政策的驱动肯定是减弱了。然后叠加一季度整体的宏观的信心还是偏谨慎的。消费者的购车意愿也受到了一定的压制。同时对比去年一季度的时候，车市还是一个阶段性的回暖，基数也相对比较高。所以这两个一增一减也显得今年的这个一季度的市场的销售的数字相对比较低迷。
Craig Yan Zeng: 今年政策的国补退坡，政策的驱动肯定是减弱了。然后叠加一季度整体的宏观的信心还是偏谨慎的，消费者的购车意愿也受到了一定的压制。同时，对比去年一季度的时候，车市还是一个阶段性的回暖，基数也相对比较高。所以这两个一增一减，也显得今年的这个一季度的市场的销售的数字相对比较低迷。
Sterling Song: Since the beginning of 2026, as you know, the government subsidies have been scaled back. The policy-driven boost to demands weakened. At the same time, the overall consumer confidence still remains relatively cautious in Q1. This further dampens consumers' willingness to purchase vehicles. In addition, the auto market in Q1 last year was a period of cyclical recovery. It creates a relatively high base for comparison. The combination of a tougher year-over-year comparison last year and softer demand this year underscores the market pressure seen in Q1. It formed the primary backdrop for the short-term decline in auto sales.
Speaker #2: So since the beginning of 2026, as you know, the government subsidies has been scaled back. The policy-driven boost to demand weakened. At the same time, the overall consumer confidence still remains relatively cautious in Q1.
Speaker #2: So this further dampens consumers' willingness to purchase vehicles. In addition, the auto market in the first quarter last year was a period of cyclical recovery.
Speaker #2: So it creates a relatively high base for comparison. The combination of a tougher year-over-year comparison last year and a softer demand this year underscores the market pressures seen in the first quarter.
Speaker #2: So it formed the primary backdrop for the short-term decline in auto sales.
Speaker #3: 从行业端来看，就是产能过剩依然还是放大了这个市场的压力。对消费者来讲，也会去观望这个价格的变化。一方面，经销商的库存还是高企的。今年以来，库存的预警指数已经连续处在警戒的水平之上了。这也是经销商的资金链非常紧张，亏损面加大。为了加快销售回笼资金，经销商也提高了折扣。这个使价格终端销售的价格持续下降。这种越等越便宜的这种预期，也会让客户的决策和成交的周期拉长。

Sterling Song: From an industry perspective, we can see the overcapacity in the auto sector further exacerbated the market pressures and reinforced consumers' wait-and-see attitude. On one hand, dealer inventories still remain at high levels. Since the beginning of this year, the dealer inventory warning index has stayed above the caution threshold for several months already. It increased the pressure on dealers' cash flows, the dealers' losses spread further. In order to recover capital, dealers have increased their discounts. This drives the prices lower. In this way, it has strengthened our consumers' expectations that the auto prices will continue to fall down. It's further lessening the purchasing decision cycle and slowing the transaction conversion.
Speaker #2: So from an industry perspective, we can see the overcapacity in the auto sector further exacerbated the market pressures and reinforced consumers' wait-and-see attitude. So on one hand, dealer inventions dealer inventories still remain at high levels.
Speaker #2: Since the beginning of this year, the dealer inventory warning index has stayed above the cautious threshold for several months already. So it increased the pressure on dealers' cash flows; the dealers' losses spread further.
Speaker #2: So in order to recover capital, dealers have increased their discounts so this drives the prices lower. So in this way, it has strengthened our consumers' expectations that the auto prices will continue to fall down.
Speaker #2: It further lengthens the purchasing decision cycles and slows the transaction conversion. So on the other hand, operating pressures on major OEMs also continue to spread among the top 10 OEMs in the first quarter this year.
Craig Yan Zeng: 另一方面，就是OEM的经营压力也持续地传导。一季度前十家车企中，九家的销量都是同比下跌的。我们也看到汽车制造业的销售利润在前三个月就3.2%，也是历史最低的。2025年这个数字是4.1%。这也就又是一个现实，就是汽车行业普遍是以价换量，结果是量价双跌这么一个挑战。
Sterling Song: On the other hand, operating pressures on major OEMs also continue to spread. Among the top 10 OEMs in Q1 this year, nine of them reported year-over-year sales declines. We also observed that the profit margin for the China auto manufacturing industry fell to just 3.2% for three months this year. This is a record low in history, and it is further declining from 4.1% compared with last year. This really reflects the widespread reality facing the whole industry.
Speaker #2: Nine of them reported year-over-year sales declines. We also observe that the profit margin for the China auto manufacturing industry failed to adjust to 3.2% in the first three months of this year.
Speaker #2: This is a record low in history, and it is further declining from 4.1% compared with last year. So, this really reflects the widespread reality facing the whole industry.
Speaker #2: So OEMs are relying on pricing cuts to drive sales volumes while both prices and volumes are simultaneously under great pressure.
Sterling Song: OEMs are relying on pricing cuts to drive sales volume while both prices and volume are simultaneously under great pressure. 另一方面，汽车出口将来会是整个汽车行业的一个重要组成部分. 乘联会数据显示，Q1中国汽车的累计出口是1,830,000辆，同比增长61%. 新能源车还是占了比较大的比重，这也就是出海核心的这么一个动力. Another point is that, in the future, auto exports will serve as the key stabilizing force for the auto industry.
Speaker #3: 另一方面，就是汽车出口将来是会是整个汽车行业的一个重要组成部分。车联会数据显示，一季度中国汽车的累计出口是183万辆，同比增长61%。这个新能源车还是占了比较大的比重。这也就是出海的一个核心的这么一个动力。
Speaker #2: Another point is that in the future, exports auto exports will serve as the key stabilizing force for the auto industry. According to the data from CPCA China Passenger Car Association, China exported cumulative 1.83 million vehicles in the first quarter this year.
Sterling Song: According to the data from CPCA, China Passenger Car Association, China exported a cumulative 1.83 million vehicles in Q1 this year, which is a year-over-year growth of 61%. NEV exports continue to account for a large percentage, still significantly a high share. It remains as the core growth driver in overseas expansion. 关 于 海 尔 和 之 家 的 协 同 。 因 为 从 交 易 完 成 到 现 在 就 是 半 年 多 的 时 间 ， 目 前 主 要 还 是 在 二 手 车 和 线 下 场 景 方 面 做 得 比 较 多 一 点. About the synergies collaboration with Haier Group.
Speaker #2: It reaches a year-over-year growth of 61%. So NEV exports continue to account for large percentage still significantly high share. So it remains as the core growth driver in overseas expansion.
Speaker #3: 关于海尔和芝加的协同，因为现在我们从交易完成到现在就是半年多的时间。目前主要还是在二手车和线下场景方面做的比较多一点。
Speaker #2: Regarding the synergies and collaborations with Haier Group, the transaction has been completed for more than six months. Currently, the collaboration is still focused on executing synergies in the used car business, as well as in offline service scenarios, etc.
Sterling Song: The transaction has completed more than six months. The current collaboration is still focused on synergies execution in the used car business and offline services scenario, etc. 卡 泰 驰 旗 下 的 二 手 车 业 务 也 发 展 多 年 了 ， 在 全 国 多 个 城 市 都 有 布 局 ， 具 备 线 上 线 下 一 体 化 运 营 和 门 店 的 管 理 经 验 。For Cartech, its used car business has been developing for so many years, with a presence across multiple cities nationwide in China, and it has extensive experience in integrated online to offline operations and dealership store management, etc. 海 尔 集 团 也 在 消 费 者 的 服 务 体 系 、 管 理 模 式 等 多 方 面 具 备 丰 富 的 经 验 ， 这 些 都 是 我 们 可 以 协 同 和 借 鉴 的 。For Haier Group, it also brings us expertise in consumer service systems and management models, which are all areas for collaboration and knowledge share with us. 现 在 我 们 的 新 零 售 业 务 已 经 在 二 手 车 领 域 和 卡 泰 驰 展 开 比 较 深 入 的 合 作 ， 包 括 车 源 供 应 、 车 辆 检 测 环 节 等 等 。 卡 泰 驰 车 辆 的 改 装 定 制 和 充 电 桩 服 务 也 和 之 家 形 成 协 同 效 应 。 后 续 我 们 继 续 会 深 化 和 拓 展 在 这 些 领 域 的 合 作 。For example, our new retail business has already began cooperation with Cartech in the used car segment, including the vehicle sourcing and vehicle inspection processes.
Speaker #3: 卡泰驰旗下的二手车业务也发展了多年了。在全国多个城市都有布局，具备线上线下一体化运营和门店的管理经验。
Speaker #2: For CARTECH, its used car business has been developing for so many years. With the presence across multiple cities, nationwide, in China, and it has extensive experience in integrated online to offline operations and dealership store management, etc.
Speaker #3: 海尔集团也在消费者的服务体系管理模式等多方面具备丰富的经验。这些都是我们可以协同和借鉴。
Speaker #2: For Haier Group, it also brings us expertise in consumer service systems and management models, which are all areas for collaboration and knowledge sharing with us.
Speaker #3: 现在我们的新零售业务已经在二手车领域和卡泰驰展开比较深入的合作，包括车源供应、车辆检测环节等等。卡泰驰车辆的改装定制和充电桩服务也和芝加形成协同效应。后续我们继续会深化和拓展在这些领域的合作。
Speaker #2: For example, our new retail business has already begun cooperation with CARTECH in the used car segment, including the vehicle sourcing and vehicle inspection processes.
Sterling Song: Cartech's vehicle customization and the charging port, charging station business have also created synergistic opportunities with that. Going forward in the future, we plan to continue deepening and expanding cooperation in the above areas. Thank you.
Speaker #2: CARTECH's vehicle customization and charging pole charging station business have also created synergy synergistic opportunities with us. So going forward in the future, we plan to continue deepening and expanding cooperation in the above areas.
Speaker #2: Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. We will now take our next question from Brian Gong of Citi. Please ask your question, Brian, your line is open.
Brian Gong: 好的，谢谢管理层接受我提问。我这块有两个问题，第一个是关于销售线索的。能否分享一下今年经销商续约的时候，他们的一个反馈？主要想看一下销售线索业务这块的下滑是否会持续。另外一个是我们新零售的拓展现在是怎么思考的？这个业务的模式是否已经达到了可以快速复制的阶段？后续该怎么看它的增长动能？我很快翻译一下。Thanks management for taking my questions.
Speaker #5: 好的，谢谢管理层接受我提问。我这块有两个问题。第一个是关于销售线索的。能否分享一下今年经销商续约的时候的他们的一个反馈，就是主要想看一下销售线索业务这块的下滑是否会持续。然后另外一个是我们新零售的拓展现在是怎么思考的。这个业务的模式是否已经达到了可以快速复制的阶段，后续该怎么看它的增长动能。然后我很快翻译一下。 Success management for taking my questions. I have two questions. First is that commencement shares a feedback from dealers during the contract renewal period this year.
Brian Gong: I have two questions. First is that, can management share the feedback from dealers during the contract renewal period this year? Should we expect continuous decline on sales leads business given dealers worsening conditions? Secondly, for new retail business, what is our strategies for expansion now? Does this business approaches the phase that we can scale up very quickly? How should we view its growth potentials ahead? Thank you.
Speaker #5: Should we expect continuous decline on sales lease business given dealers' worsening conditions? And secondly, for new retail business, what is our strategy for expansion now?
Speaker #5: Does the lease business approach represent a phase that we can scale up very quickly? And how should we view its growth potential going forward? Thank you.
Speaker #3: 好，谢谢。第一个问题就是关于经销商续约，今年的经销商的会员续约已经完成了。经销商客户的覆盖还是保持在一个比较稳定的水平。在车市价格战持续就终端毛利比较压力比较大，库存也高企的这种情况下经销商对于整体的经营还是比较保守。因为利润压力也大，所以普遍也收紧了一些营销的预算。控制的货客成本，这个也是预期中的。
Sterling Song: 好，谢谢。第一个问题，就是关于经销商续约。今年经销商的会员续约已经完成了。经销商客户的覆盖还是保持在一个比较稳定的水平。在车市价格战持续，终端毛利压力比较大，库存也高企的这种情况下，经销商对于整体的经营还是比较保守。因为利润压力也大，所以普遍也收紧了一些营销的预算，控制了获客成本，这个也是预期中的。Thank you for your question.
Speaker #2: Thank you for your question. At present, for the dealer membership renewal, this has been completed this year. And overall, the dealer customer coverage still remains at stable level.
Sterling Song: At present, for the dealer membership renewal, this has been completed this year. Overall, the dealer customer coverage still remain at a stable level. Even though there is ongoing price wars in the auto market and there are shrinking margins at the retail level. It really brings a lot of high inventory pressures for most of the dealers. For most of the dealers, they adopted a more conservative operating approach. The loss-making coverage in the dealer segment has widened and the profitability pressure still remain at the high level in the retail end for the dealers.
Speaker #2: Even though there is an ongoing price war in the auto market and there are shrinking margins at the retail level, so it's really bringing a lot of high inventory pressures for most of the dealers.
Speaker #2: So for most of the dealers, they adopted a more conservative operating approach. And the loss-making coverage in the dealer segment has widened. And the profitability pressure still remains at the high level in the retail end for the dealers.
Speaker #3: 虽然销量的压力越大，其实经销商对于优质线索的需求其实也是越高的。芝加也是经销商最重要的货客渠道之一。会员业务上我们也提升通过数据驱动的反漏斗模型和智能分发模型提高匹配的精准度和分发效率。
Craig Yan Zeng: 虽然销量的压力越大，其实经销商对于优质线索的需求其实也是越高的。之家也是经销商最重要的获客渠道之一。会员业务上，我们也提升通过数据驱动的反漏斗模型和智能分发模型，提高匹配的精准度和分发效果。
Sterling Song: Despite there is a pressure on the overall vehicle sales, for dealers, their demand for high quality sales leads still continue to increase. Autohome still remains one of the most important customer acquisition channels for dealer customers. On the membership services side, we are improving the traffic matching accuracy and distribution efficiency through the data-driven reverse funnel model and the intelligent distribution model.
Speaker #2: And despite there being pressure on overall vehicle sales for dealers, their demand for high-quality sales leads still continues to increase. Autohome still remains one of the most important customer acquisition channels for dealer customers.

We aim to support dealerships in increasing the customer traffic and improving the conversion rate, while also trying to expand the integrated O2O business initiatives. Our goal is to help dealer customers improve their revenues and profitability, while mitigating as much as possible the operational impacts caused by the broader auto industry downturn.

Speaker #3: 关于新零售是这样的，我们还是在一个探索的阶段。现在是想法让经销商、地方的经销商入驻商城平台，把他们的车源和落地价格展示在商城上，就类似有点淘宝的这个样子。通过这些经销商联动，我们能够为用户提供线上线下一站式的便捷购车服务。涵盖在线选车、个性化配置选择、在线支付大定以及线下轻松提车等全流程环节，为用户提供一个电商体验的那么一个购车的一个交易平台。目前我们在西安和深圳两个城市的业务模式在跑。效果还可以，跑通之后可能在更多的城市会去推广复制。
