We are seeing a record demand in contracts for that site. It took a while, and I think we gave some indication for that last year that it will take a while for us to sign these larger pharma companies. But it is coming to fruition, and commercial contribution should be seen in Q3 2027. We are starting tech transfers into that facility in H2 2026. So exciting news there. Of course, because of that, we will still continue to make strong CapEx investments to increase the capacity of that facility. Our Maryland injectable site, the clients are transferring over to the FlexPro isolator line.
Speaker #2: We're seeing a record demand in contracts for it. That site—and it took a while, and I think we gave some indication for that last year—that it would take a while for us to sign these larger pharma companies.

Of course, because of that, we will still continue to make strong CapEx investments to increase the capacity of that facility. Our Maryland injectable site, the clients are transferring over to the FlexPro isolator line. That site actually has a lot of older technologies that we have installed and transferred into newer technologies into isolator lines. We did that in all of 2025. We are seeing our first client transfer into the FlexPro line, which is higher quality, higher efficacy, and a better cost for us as well.
Speaker #2: But it is coming to fruition, and the commercial contribution should be seen in Q3 2027. But we are starting tech transfers into that facility in the second half of 2026.
Speaker #2: So, exciting news there. And, of course, because of that, we will continue to make strong CapEx investments to increase the capacity of that facility.
Speaker #2: At our Maryland injectable site, clients are transferring over to the FlexPro isolator line. The site actually has a lot of older technologies that we've updated and transferred into newer technologies, specifically into isolator lines.
Bobby Sheng: That site actually has a lot of older technologies that we have installed and transferred into newer technologies into isolator lines. We did that in all of 2025. We are seeing our first client transfer into the FlexPro line, which is higher quality, higher efficacy, and a better cost for us as well. So we are excited about that, and we expect a lot more clients to transfer into the FlexPro facility, which will also give us increased compliance with the FDA, USFDA, and other regulatory bodies around the world. On the rare disease specialty pharma franchise, especially the vigabatrin franchise, we see increased demand and solid demand for that franchise as well. 58% specifically for the specialty quarter-over-quarter growth. We are on track to achieve over 50% formulary coverage, which was our target, with more regional plans and strong physician adoption. We renegotiated some terms with value chain, supply chain partners.
Speaker #2: We did that in the fall of 2025. We're seeing our first client transfer into the FlexPro line, which is higher quality, higher efficacy, and a better cost for us as well.

Bobby Sheng: Because of our growth, we have been able to have stronger positions with our supply chain partners, and we renegotiated some contracts to increase our gross margins. We have also, in an effort to focus our efforts into our specialty rare disease, out-licensed some of our other 505(b)(2)s that we did not feel were core to the specialty franchise, one of them being Stiripentol to one of our strategic partners, and we see some growth in that in 2027-2028 for that product with our partner, of course. We also see a demand-driven growth for our pharma sales, which is primarily our generics, as well as a new introduction into some of our reporting for our quarter is the consumer health contribution, led by our investment into Sunway Biotech. We will talk a little bit more about that.
Speaker #2: And we've also, in an effort to focus our efforts into our specialty rare disease area, out-licensed some of our other 505(b)(2)s that we didn't feel were core to the specialty franchise.

Speaker #2: One of them being Serum Canthal to one of our strategic partners, and we see some growth in that in 2027-28 for that product.
Speaker #2: With our partner, of course. We also see demand-driven growth in our pharma sales, which is primarily generics. As well as a new introduction in some of our reporting for this quarter is the consumer health contribution, led by our investment into Sunway Biotech.
Speaker #2: And so, we'll talk a little bit more about that, but in some way, biotech—we've increased our investment into that consumer health company from thirty-some percent to forty-some percent.
Bobby Sheng: Sunway Biotech, we have increased our investment into that consumer health company from 30-some percent to 40-some percent. Subsequently, they have acquired a nutritional company, a global nutritional company called Weider Global Nutrition. Some of you may know it. It is a very well-known brand in the United States as well as in Europe for sports nutrition and global health. That is starting to see some great synergies. Sunway Biotech acquired them in May of 2026. So we are seeing some contribution there, and that is definitely a strong foundation for growth, and we are really looking forward to increased contribution from that company and from our investment into that company in the near future. Some details into our income statement for the second quarter. Once again, highlighting our back to profitable growth trajectory.

Speaker #2: We're seeing a big jump back from that, from the Q1 numbers. Obviously, generics had a good bounce back from there, but really highlighted by our specialty and brand jump up from Q1 of 2026.
Bobby Sheng: Generics, a good bounce back from there, but really highlighted by our specialty and brand jump up from Q1 of 2026. Obviously with the Sunway acquisition of Weider, there is a strong contribution from them as well. As you can see, the growth in Q2 is stable growth, and it is continual growth for our operations, and we look forward to more contributions, and more growth in 2023 for Q3 and Q4. We want to do also a year-over-year just to show that we are back into our growth mode compared even to last year. I will not focus on the numbers on the left. I will just focus on some of the numbers on the right here. Revenues year over year for Q2 is increased by 21%, from TWD 4.8 billion to TWD 5.8 billion.
Bobby Sheng: Generics, a good bounce back from there, but really highlighted by our specialty and brand jump up from Q1 of 2026.

I will just focus on some of the numbers on the right here. Revenues year over year for Q2 is increased by 21%, from TWD 4.8 billion to TWD 5.8 billion.
Speaker #2: And then, obviously, with the Sunway acquisition of Weeder, there's a strong contribution from them as well. But as you can see, the growth in Q2 is stable growth, and it's continual growth for our operations.
Speaker #2: And we look forward to more contributions and more growth in 2023 for Q3 and Q4. We also want to do a year-over-year comparison to show that we are back in growth mode, even compared to last year.
Speaker #2: I won't focus on the numbers on the left. I'll just focus on some of the numbers on the right here. Revenues year-over-year for Q2 increased by 21%, from $4.8 billion to $5.8 billion.
Speaker #2: Our gross profits have increased 20%, from $2 billion to $2.4 billion. And our net income before tax has increased 46% year-over-year, from roughly $4.8 billion to $6 billion.
Bobby Sheng: Our gross profits have increased 20% from TWD 2 billion to TWD 2.4 billion, our net income before tax has increased 46% year-over-year of roughly TWD 4.8 billion to TWD 6 billion. Our net income from continued operations, the previous number was from TWD 550 million to TWD 813 million net income before tax. Now also the final net income from continued operations at TWD 448 million all the way up to now TWD 600 million in 2026. We not only show quarter-over-quarter growth, we are back to also showing year-over-year growth as well. Also have another nice balance from our revenue mix. Our CDMO revenue represents 36% of our revenues, increase again quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. Our pharma sales represent 50%.
Bobby Sheng: Our gross profits have increased 20% from TWD 2 billion to TWD 2.4 billion, our net income before tax has increased 46% year-over-year of roughly TWD 4.8 billion to TWD 6 billion. Our net income from continued operations, the previous number was from TWD 550 million to TWD 813 million net income before tax. Now also the final net income from continued operations at TWD 448 million all the way up to now TWD 600 million in 2026. We not only show quarter-over-quarter growth, we are back to also showing year-over-year growth as well. Also have another nice balance from our revenue mix. Our CDMO revenue represents 36% of our revenues, increase again quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. Our pharma sales represent 50%.
Speaker #2: And then our net income from continued operations—sorry, the previous number was from $550 million to $813 million net income before tax. And then now, also, the final net income from continued operations at $448 million all the way up to now $600 million in 2026.
Speaker #2: So we not only show Q4 growth, we are back to also showing year-over-year growth as well. We also have another nice balance from our revenue mix.
Speaker #2: Our CDMO revenue represents 36% of our revenues, increased again in Q4 and year-over-year. Our pharma sales represent 50%. We've also did some product rationalization last year as well.
Bobby Sheng: We also did some product rationalization last year as well, so top line revenues year-over-year are a little bit off, but quarter-over-quarter, of course, as we have shown before, 30% quarter-over-quarter. Also a more prominent position of specialty within the pharma sales division here. Finally, also because of our increased investment in Sunway and their acquisition of Weider Global Nutrition, they have really jumped in their revenue representation within the Bora Group. They now represent about 14% of our total top line revenues. We want to highlight them and give the investors understanding of the products and the revenue mix within Bora Group. We have also been able to maintain a strong net debt to equity ratio while increasing our cash position. This is primarily for the acquisition of the Rockville facility, so you see a big jump in cash there.
Bobby Sheng: We also did some product rationalization last year as well, so top line revenues year-over-year are a little bit off, but quarter-over-quarter, of course, as we have shown before, 30% quarter-over-quarter. Also a more prominent position of specialty within the pharma sales division here. Finally, also because of our increased investment in Sunway and their acquisition of Weider Global Nutrition, they have really jumped in their revenue representation within the Bora Group. They now represent about 14% of our total top line revenues. We want to highlight them and give the investors understanding of the products and the revenue mix within Bora Group. We have also been able to maintain a strong net debt to equity ratio while increasing our cash position. This is primarily for the acquisition of the Rockville facility, so you see a big jump in cash there.
Speaker #2: So top-line revenues year-over-year are a little bit off, but Q4, of course, as we showed before, was 30% in Q4. And then also, a more prominent position of specialty within the pharma sales division here.
Speaker #2: And finally, also because of our increased investment in Sunway and their acquisition of Weeder, they've really jumped in their revenue representation within the Bora Group.
Speaker #2: They now represent about 14% of our total top-line revenues. And so we want to highlight them and give you—give investors an understanding of the products and the revenue mix within Bora Group.
Speaker #2: We've also been able to maintain a strong net debt-to-equity ratio while increasing our cash position. Now, that is primarily for the acquisition of the Rockville facility.
Speaker #2: So, you see a big jump in cash there. We also continue to be diligent in our cash flow management and continue to decrease our net working capital over revenue usage as well.
Bobby Sheng: We also continue to be diligent in our cash flow management to continue to decrease our net working capital over revenue usage as well. To give you some highlights into our CDMO business in Q2. Once again, I will say that we have a record high of a backlog of $317 million. That is roughly 90% of our last year's revenue. Definitely strong growth there in our backlog or orders on hand. Also a record high of new business in the H1 of 2026 in the sum of $378 million. We also see a record high in new molecules signed, 14 new molecules signed for our business, and they are all development stage, commercial stage.
Bobby Sheng: We also continue to be diligent in our cash flow management to continue to decrease our net working capital over revenue usage as well. To give you some highlights into our CDMO business in Q2. Once again, I will say that we have a record high of a backlog of $317 million. That is roughly 90% of our last year's revenue. Definitely strong growth there in our backlog or orders on hand. Also a record high of new business in the H1 of 2026 in the sum of $378 million. We also see a record high in new molecules signed, 14 new molecules signed for our business, and they are all development stage, commercial stage. As you know, as you can see with our Mississauga facility, with our two lab facilities and our mature facilities, these new molecules being signed eventually turn into commercial revenue for the sites.
Speaker #2: To give you some highlights into our CDMO business in Q2, once again, I will say that we have a record high backlog of $317 million.
Speaker #2: That's really roughly 90% of our last year's revenue, so definitely strong growth there in our backlog, or orders on hand. And also a record high of new business in the first half of 2026, in the sum of $378 million.
Speaker #2: We also see a record high in new molecule signed, 14 new molecules signed for our business and they're all development stage commercial stage. And as you know, as you can see with our Mississauga facility, with our Juvenile facilities and our mature facilities, these new molecules being signed, eventually turn into commercial revenue for the sites so we're really excited about these new molecules being signed.
Bobby Sheng: As you know, as you can see with our Mississauga facility, with our two lab facilities and our mature facilities, these new molecules being signed eventually turn into commercial revenue for the sites. We are really excited about these new molecules being signed. We see an increased prioritization of supply chain security and US onshoring demand. As you can see now, we have four sites within the United States, five sites in North America, including our Canadian facility. We are seeing a huge uptick in demand for onshoring, reshoring back into the United States and really having a huge advantage with our large US footprint. Finally, I will highlight the top 20 big pharma tenure multi-drug contract within our Maple Grove facility and starting phase I product transfer in the Q2 of this year.
Bobby Sheng: We are really excited about these new molecules being signed. We see an increased prioritization of supply chain security and US onshoring demand. As you can see now, we have four sites within the United States, five sites in North America, including our Canadian facility. We are seeing a huge uptick in demand for onshoring, reshoring back into the United States and really having a huge advantage with our large US footprint. Finally, I will highlight the top 20 big pharma tenure multi-drug contract within our Maple Grove facility and starting phase I product transfer in the Q2 of this year. We've also highlighted that to become a full service CDMO facility and a top 10 CDMO facility worldwide, we definitely need to have a larger presence in biologics. We were able to do that.
Speaker #2: We see an increased prioritization of supply chain, security, and U.S. onshoring demand. As you can see now, we have four sites within the United States, and five sites in North America, including our Canadian facility.
Speaker #2: We are seeing a huge, huge uptick in demand for onshoring and reshoring back into the United States, and really having a huge advantage with our large U.S. footprint.
Speaker #2: And then, finally, I will highlight the top 20 big pharma 10-year multi-drug contracts within our Maple Grove facility, and the start of phase one product transfer in Q4 of this year.
Speaker #2: We've also highlighted that, to become a full-service CDMO facility and a top 10 CDMO facility worldwide, we definitely need to have a larger presence in biologics.
Bobby Sheng: We've also highlighted that to become a full service CDMO facility and a top 10 CDMO facility worldwide, we definitely need to have a larger presence in biologics. We were able to do that. We announced an acquisition of MacroGenics biologics facility in Rockville, Maryland. To give you some more highlights here, as we've integrated them in parts of Q3, we want to give you a highlight. It's a 12,000 liter, 5 times 2,000 and 4 times 500 liter FDA facility with 3 already commercial products being produced from that Rockville facility, and revenue recognition will be starting in Q3 of this year. We've confirmed already in 2026, H2 of 2026 to have 13 batches already committed, which is actually moderately ahead of the 2025 run rate. Definitely positive momentum and positive uptake.
Speaker #2: We were able to do that. We announced an acquisition of MacroGenics' biologic facility in Rockville, Maryland. To give you some more highlights here, we've integrated them in parts of Q3, but we want to give you a highlight.
Bobby Sheng: We announced an acquisition of MacroGenics biologics facility in Rockville, Maryland. To give you some more highlights here, as we've integrated them in parts of Q3, we want to give you a highlight. It's a 12,000 liter, 5 times 2,000 and 4 times 500 liter FDA facility with 3 already commercial products being produced from that Rockville facility, and revenue recognition will be starting in Q3 of this year. We've confirmed already in 2026, H2 of 2026 to have 13 batches already committed, which is actually moderately ahead of the 2025 run rate. Definitely positive momentum and positive uptake. On the right here, I will show you that we already see about TWD 60 million of 12-month rolling backlog for the site, which brings in a significant near-term commercial value and top-line revenue contribution into our Bora Group.
Speaker #2: And we had 20—it's a 12,000-liter, five-times 2,000, four-times 500-liter FDA facility, with three already commercial products being produced from that Rockville facility. And revenue recognition will be starting in Q3 of this year.
Speaker #2: We've confirmed already, in the back half of 2026, to have 13 batches already committed, which is actually moderately ahead of the 2025 run rate.
Speaker #2: So, definitely positive momentum and positive uptake. On the right here, I will show you that we already see about $60 million of 12-month rolling backlog for the site, which brings in significant near-term commercial value and top-line revenue contribution.
Bobby Sheng: On the right here, I will show you that we already see about TWD 60 million of 12-month rolling backlog for the site, which brings in a significant near-term commercial value and top-line revenue contribution into our Bora Group. Finally, we expect higher value opportunities. I explained this in our last quarter that we expect a lot of synergies with Tanvex BioPharma, which is our San Diego facility, as well as our Sunway facility in Taiwan, as well as finally our Maryland injectable facility to offer a real end-to-end biologic solution all the way from cell line development to product substance and then a drug product for the injectable facility. Some outlook for H2. Obviously, we see record backlog. One highlight is our Zhubei facility in Taiwan is starting to produce for a market in China and starting to expand in the China market as well.
Speaker #2: Into our Bora Group. Finally, we expect higher value opportunities, and I explained this in our last quarter—that we expect a lot of synergies with Tandex Biopharm, which is our San Diego facility.
Bobby Sheng: Finally, we expect higher value opportunities. I explained this in our last quarter that we expect a lot of synergies with Tanvex BioPharma, which is our San Diego facility, as well as our Sunway facility in Taiwan, as well as finally our Maryland injectable facility to offer a real end-to-end biologic solution all the way from cell line development to product substance and then a drug product for the injectable facility. Some outlook for H2. Obviously, we see record backlog. One highlight is our Zhubei facility in Taiwan is starting to produce for a market in China and starting to expand in the China market as well. As we expand our Asia CDMO footprint, that's a real highlight, and we expect high contributions from the China market in our Zhubei facility in Taiwan.
Speaker #2: As well as our Zubay facility in Taiwan, and finally our Maryland injectable facility, to offer a real end-to-end biologic solution all the way from cell line development to product substance and then drug product for the injectable facilities.
Speaker #2: So, my outlook for the second half: we obviously see record backlog. I want to highlight our Zhongli facility in Taiwan. It's starting to produce for the market in China and starting to expand in the China market as well.
Speaker #2: So, as we expand our Asia CDMO footprint, that's a real highlight. And we expect high contributions from the China market in our Zhongli facility in Taiwan.
Bobby Sheng: As we expand our Asia CDMO footprint, that's a real highlight, and we expect high contributions from the China market in our Zhubei facility in Taiwan. Our back end has intensified our marketing efforts, so our marketing efforts to really lean in on the tailwinds for the US CDMO demand when we see record high demands for that. Also, our Rockville facility, once again, will be contributing to revenues in Q3, and we see that continuing forward into H2 of 2026 and also into 2027. We're continuing to invest in the future. Once again, our Maryland facility looks really, really strong. We expect that to have a more prominent presence in our CDMO contribution for the whole group. Also, the Maryland facility, want to address here that we've started to address a lot of the FDA issues from one of our inspections in Q2.
Speaker #2: Our backend is intensified. Our marketing efforts, so our marketing efforts to really lean in on the tailwinds for the US CDMO demand when we see a record high in demand for that.
Bobby Sheng: Our back end has intensified our marketing efforts, so our marketing efforts to really lean in on the tailwinds for the US CDMO demand when we see record high demands for that. Also, our Rockville facility, once again, will be contributing to revenues in Q3, and we see that continuing forward into H2 of 2026 and also into 2027. We're continuing to invest in the future. Once again, our Maryland facility looks really, really strong. We expect that to have a more prominent presence in our CDMO contribution for the whole group. Also, the Maryland facility, want to address here that we've started to address a lot of the FDA issues from one of our inspections in Q2. The FDA inspection showed some, obviously, things that we needed to improve on.
Speaker #2: Also, our Rock facility once again will be contributing to revenues in Q3, and we see that continuing forward into the second half of '26.
Speaker #2: And also into 2027. We're continuing to invest in the future. Once again, our Maple Grove facility looks really, really strong. We expect that to have a more prominent presence in our CDMO contribution for the whole group.
Speaker #2: And then, also, the Maryland facility I want to address here is that we started to address a lot of the FDA issues from one of our inspections in Q2.
Speaker #2: And so the FDA inspection showed some obvious things that we needed to improve on. And, obviously, they wanted us to get into the isolator lines, which we are doing with our customers in Q3 and Q4.
Bobby Sheng: The FDA inspection showed some, obviously, things that we needed to improve on. Obviously, they wanted us to get into the isolator lines, which we are doing with our customers in Q3 and Q4. We see that being addressed in a timely manner. Also, we see, even though we are dealing with some of these adjustments, we see the same time of production and batch releases for the remainder of 2026. We don't see a lot of disruption in batch release and production for the remainder of 2026, and we also see volumes increasing in 2027 as well. On the right here, we'll also highlight that our qualified leads, we already see 400 marketing qualified leads, which really has matched our full year of qualified leads in 2025.
Bobby Sheng: Obviously, they wanted us to get into the isolator lines, which we are doing with our customers in Q3 and Q4. We see that being addressed in a timely manner. Also, we see, even though we are dealing with some of these adjustments, we see the same time of production and batch releases for the remainder of 2026. We don't see a lot of disruption in batch release and production for the remainder of 2026, and we also see volumes increasing in 2027 as well. On the right here, we'll also highlight that our qualified leads, we already see 400 marketing qualified leads, which really has matched our full year of qualified leads in 2025. Really 60% plus of inbound searches and also Bora-branded searches surging 3x above our expectations.
Speaker #2: So we see that being addressed in a timely manner. And also, even though we are dealing with some of these adjustments, we see at the same time production and batch releases for the remainder of '26.
Speaker #2: So we don't see a lot of disruption in batch release and production for the remainder of '26, and we also see volumes increasing in 2027 as well.
Speaker #2: On the right here, we're also highlighting that our qualified leads—we already see 400 marketing qualified leads, which really has matched our full year of qualified leads in 2025.
Speaker #2: So, really, 60-plus percent of inbound searches are with—and also Bora-branded searches—surging 3x above our expectations as well. Bora Biologics: we see synergies there from Tandex.
Bobby Sheng: Really 60% plus of inbound searches and also Bora-branded searches surging 3x above our expectations. Bora Biologics, we see synergies there from Tanvex, and we see a strong uptake. The commercial capabilities of our Rockville facility now is also generating more demand from our other facilities in San Diego and Zhubei. Some updates into our pharma sales business, obviously led by the brand name of VIGAFYDE. We continue to see an increase in our highly focused franchise into the specialty pharma side of the business. What I want to highlight here is you can see our year-over-year values in pharma sales have increased up to 2026. We did some product rationalization through 2024 and 2025.
Bobby Sheng: Bora Biologics, we see synergies there from Tanvex, and we see a strong uptake. The commercial capabilities of our Rockville facility now is also generating more demand from our other facilities in San Diego and Zhubei. Some updates into our pharma sales business, obviously led by the brand name of VIGAFYDE. We continue to see an increase in our highly focused franchise into the specialty pharma side of the business. What I want to highlight here is you can see our year-over-year values in pharma sales have increased up to 2026. We did some product rationalization through 2024 and 2025. I really want to highlight, this is the first quarter and the first H1 of the year where our specialty rare disease business has increased and is now over 50% of our total pharma sales business. That was a strategic initiative for us starting in 2023.
Speaker #2: And we see a strong uptake. Really, the commercial capabilities of our Rockville facility now are also generating more demand from our other facilities in San Diego and Zhubei.
Speaker #2: Some of it is into our pharma sales business, obviously led by the brand name of Uxter Smith Group. We continue to see an increase in our highly focused franchise into the specialty pharma side of the business.
Speaker #2: What I want to highlight here is, you can see our year-over-year values in pharma sales have increased up to 2026. We did some product rationalization through '24 and '25.
Speaker #2: But I really, really want to highlight that this is the first quarter and the first half of the year where our specialty rare disease business has increased and is now over 50% of our total pharma sales business.
Bobby Sheng: I really want to highlight, this is the first quarter and the first H1 of the year where our specialty rare disease business has increased and is now over 50% of our total pharma sales business. That was a strategic initiative for us starting in 2023. We went from 2.9% in 2023 to 26.9% in 2024, 42% in 2025, and now for the H1 of 2026, specialty and rare disease represents 54.2%. Why do we do that? I want to highlight again, larger growth, gross margins, more stability, increase in demand, also patent-protected pricing, and a very different financial profile for these drugs to have.
Speaker #2: That was a strategic initiative for us starting in 2023. So, we went from 2.9% in 2023 to 26.9% in 2024, 42% in 2025, and now, for the first half of '26, specialty and rare disease represents 54.2%.
Bobby Sheng: We went from 2.9% in 2023 to 26.9% in 2024, 42% in 2025, and now for the H1 of 2026, specialty and rare disease represents 54.2%. Why do we do that? I want to highlight again, larger growth, gross margins, more stability, increase in demand, also patent-protected pricing, and a very different financial profile for these drugs to have. Our investment into specialty pharma, as you can see by our top line, by our gross margins, and by our net income, has paid off dividends for us, and will continue to do so in the future. I also want to highlight here that we have seen an increase in demand from government channels, from our DLS and our other high-value generics. We definitely see a stabilization to small growth in that generics division. A little bit more detail into our specialty business. It is really firing on all cylinders.
Speaker #2: Why do we do that? I want to highlight again, larger growth than margins, more stability, increase in demand, also patent-protected pricing, and really a very different financial profile for these drugs to have.
Speaker #2: So, we definitely—our investment into specialty pharma, as you can see by our top line, by our gross margins, and by our net income, has paid off dividends for us.
Bobby Sheng: Our investment into specialty pharma, as you can see by our top line, by our gross margins, and by our net income, has paid off dividends for us, and will continue to do so in the future. I also want to highlight here that we have seen an increase in demand from government channels, from our DLS and our other high-value generics. We definitely see a stabilization to small growth in that generics division. A little bit more detail into our specialty business. It is really firing on all cylinders. As I said, our revenues have grown 58.7% quarter over quarter and 47% over our 2025 numbers for the quarter.
Speaker #2: And we'll continue to do so in the future as well. I also want to highlight here that we've increased in demand from government channels.
Speaker #2: From our DLS and our other high-value generics, we're definitely seeing a stabilization to small growth in that generics division. Now, a little bit more detail into our specialty business.
Speaker #2: It's really firing on all cylinders. Like I said, our revenues have grown 58.7% quarter-over-quarter and 47% over our 2025 numbers for the quarter.
Bobby Sheng: As I said, our revenues have grown 58.7% quarter over quarter and 47% over our 2025 numbers for the quarter. Obviously, it is highlighted by VIGAFYDE, but there are six other products within the specialty branded division that are all growing, that all contribute to the revenue growth and the quarter over quarter growth for the year, for the quarter, and for the year over year. We are expected to unlock up to 60%, so if you are focusing on vigabatrin franchise here, we are now hitting about 60% of the SABRIL peaks. SABRIL, which is the original branded drug that we have reformulated into the 505(b)(2) for VIGAFYDE. We definitely see some growth there. Sorry about that. Moving here. We also see unique patients displayed quarter over quarter, and for second consecutive quarters in a row.
Speaker #2: Obviously, it's highlighted by Vigify, but there are six other products within the specialty branded division that are all growing that are all contributing to the revenue growth and the quarter over quarter growth for the year for the quarter and for a year over year.
Bobby Sheng: Obviously, it is highlighted by VIGAFYDE, but there are six other products within the specialty branded division that are all growing, that all contribute to the revenue growth and the quarter over quarter growth for the year, for the quarter, and for the year over year. We are expected to unlock up to 60%, so if you are focusing on vigabatrin franchise here, we are now hitting about 60% of the SABRIL peaks. SABRIL, which is the original branded drug that we have reformulated into the 505(b)(2) for VIGAFYDE. We definitely see some growth there. Sorry about that. Moving here. We also see unique patients displayed quarter over quarter, and for second consecutive quarters in a row. New patients coming into using VIGAFYDE, we have seen them increase quarter over quarter for seven quarters in a row.
Speaker #2: We're expected to unlock up to 60% associated with focusing on the Vygavitrin franchise here. We're now hitting about 60% of the Sabro peaks. Sabro, which is the original branded drug that we've reformulated into the 505(b)(2).
Speaker #2: For Vigified, and so we definitely see some growth there as well. Sorry about that. Moving here, we also see unique patients displayed quarter over quarter.
Speaker #2: And for the second consecutive quarter in a row, new patients coming into using Vigified—we've seen them increase quarter over quarter for seven quarters in a row.
Bobby Sheng: New patients coming into using VIGAFYDE, we have seen them increase quarter over quarter for seven quarters in a row. Finally, we've outlicensed Stiripentol to refocus our attention into the franchises that we've been investing in. For our generics, as you can see, our high-value generics are increasing, once again focusing on our high-value, high-growth, gross profit, gross margin products. We have 6 new launches in those categories supporting a more diverse generic portfolio. We expect pending approvals. We expect 6 more for the H2 of 2026 and all the way up to 2030 launches. For this quarter, I'll be talking more about our consumer healthcare business through our investment into Sunway Biotech. We've increased our investment into Sunway Biotech from 35.97% to 42% because of Sunway's acquisition into Weider Global Nutrition. We did a fundraising, and we've increased our position into Sunway.
Speaker #2: Finally, we've outlicensed Serum Penthol to refocus our attention on the franchises that we've been investing in. For our generics, as you can see, our high-value generics are increasing once again, focusing on our high-value, high-growth, high-gross-margin products.
Bobby Sheng: Finally, we've outlicensed Stiripentol to refocus our attention into the franchises that we've been investing in. For our generics, as you can see, our high-value generics are increasing, once again focusing on our high-value, high-growth, gross profit, gross margin products. We have 6 new launches in those categories supporting a more diverse generic portfolio. We expect pending approvals. We expect 6 more for the H2 of 2026 and all the way up to 2030 launches.

We've increased our investment into Sunway Biotech from 35.97% to 42% because of Sunway's acquisition into Weider Global Nutrition. We did a fundraising, and we've increased our position into Sunway.
Speaker #2: We have six new launches. In those categories, supporting more diverse generic portfolio. And we expect pending approvals. We expect six more for the second half of '26 and into 2000 all the way up to 2030 launches.
Speaker #2: For this quarter, I'll be talking more about our consumer healthcare business through our investment into Sunway Biotech. We've increased our investment in Sunway Biotech from 35.97% to 42% because of Sunway's acquisition of Leader Global Nutrition.
Speaker #2: They did a fundraising, and we've increased our position in Sunway. We're really pleased with the management team there, and we're really pleased with their acquisition.
Bobby Sheng: We're really pleased with the management team there, and we're really pleased with their acquisition, similar to what Bora has done in their previous growth, into acquiring a global brand, becoming a global powerhouse now in consumer healthcare. Some highlights here. Their core business is ingredients and CDMO sales. That represents roughly about 7% of their total revenues, but quarter-over-quarter, we've seen that grow 40%. So obviously dominated by the ready-to-use rice demands in Europe, and now with the US market through Weider Global Nutrition. Brands now with Weider represent 73% of the total revenues for Sunway. As you can see, it is a monumental transformational acquisition for Sunway Biotech, and we see them really growing that division. Finally, for the domestic market, represents 20% now, but we still see domestic market, meaning domestic in Taiwan.
Bobby Sheng: We're really pleased with the management team there, and we're really pleased with their acquisition, similar to what Bora has done in their previous growth, into acquiring a global brand, becoming a global powerhouse now in consumer healthcare. Some highlights here. Their core business is ingredients and CDMO sales. That represents roughly about 7% of their total revenues, but quarter-over-quarter, we've seen that grow 40%.

Finally, for the domestic market, represents 20% now, but we still see domestic market, meaning domestic in Taiwan.
Speaker #2: Similar to what Bora has done in their previous growth—acquiring a global brand and now becoming a global powerhouse in consumer healthcare. Some highlights here.
Speaker #2: Their core business is ingredients and seed and oil sales. We've seen a 7% increase; now, that represents roughly about 7% of their total revenues. But quarter over quarter, we've seen a growth of 40%.
Speaker #2: So, obviously, dominated by the Red Yeast Rice demands in Europe. And now, with the US market through Leader Global Nutrition, brands now with Leader represent 70% to 73% of the total revenues for Sunway.
Speaker #2: So, as you can see, it is a monumental, transformational acquisition for Sunway Biotech, and we see them really growing that division. And finally, for the domestic market, it represents 20% now.
Speaker #2: But we still see the domestic market—meaning domestic in Taiwan. That legacy business still has growth of 14%, representing about 20% of Sunway. For the second half of '26, we see Leader Global Nutrition, which is WGN.
Bobby Sheng: That legacy business still has growth of 14%, representing about 20% of Sunway. For the H2 of 2026, we see Weider Global Nutrition, which is WGN. We expect them to start improving on their synergies and deliver meaningful revenues, profits, and real life synergies into the H2, sorry, of 2026. A little bit into our BORA AIM, which is our AI manufacturing platform that we did an announcement with Insilico, a JV with Insilico, and some information on our sustainability profiles. We continue to maintain our sustainability rankings. EcoVadis, we are at a committed level. Our FTSE is at 3.8 out of 5, and our Taiwan Stock Exchange, we are in the 60 to 20th percentile of the Taiwan Stock Exchange for sustainability rankings. In Q2, we're excited to introduce BORA AIM.
Bobby Sheng: That legacy business still has growth of 14%, representing about 20% of Sunway. For the H2 of 2026, we see Weider Global Nutrition, which is WGN.

Speaker #2: We expect them to start improving on their synergies and deliver meaningful revenues, profits, and realized synergies into the second quarter—or the second half, sorry—of 2026.
Speaker #2: A little bit about our Bora Inn, which is our AI manufacturing platform that we announced in partnership with Insilico—a joint venture with Insilico—and some information on our sustainability profiles.
Speaker #2: So, we continue to maintain our sustainability rankings—Ecovadis. We are at a committed level. Our FTSE is at 3.8 out of 5.
Speaker #2: And our Taiwan Stock Exchange—we are in the 60th to 20th percentile of the Taiwan Stock Exchange for sustainability rankings. In Q2, we're excited to introduce Bora Inn.
Speaker #2: And this is our own internal development, but also an announcement with one of the global leading AI drug discovery companies, Insilico.
Bobby Sheng: This is our own internal developments, but also an announcement with one of the global leading AI drug development companies, drug discovery companies, Insilico. So we're really happy to accelerate in our BORA AIM platform. We want to give you more announcements in the future. We do believe that this will be a huge competitive advantage for Bora going into next year. Some highlights, though, I want to update you on. We have a beta version testing going live in the next 6 months for our CDMO business. Some highlights of what the beta testing will do. Instead of reacting to failures in manufacturing, we're proactively identifying failure points before they occur. That will save bad batches, saving tens of millions of dollars, potentially, in the future. We're going to beta test AI to reduce deviations. Deviations are very time-constraining and very difficult to deal with.
Bobby Sheng: This is our own internal developments, but also an announcement with one of the global leading AI drug development companies, drug discovery companies, Insilico. So we're really happy to accelerate in our BORA AIM platform. We want to give you more announcements in the future. We do believe that this will be a huge competitive advantage for Bora going into next year. Some highlights, though, I want to update you on. We have a beta version testing going live in the next 6 months for our CDMO business. Some highlights of what the beta testing will do.

That will save bad batches, saving tens of millions of dollars, potentially, in the future. We're going to beta test AI to reduce deviations. Deviations are very time-constraining and very difficult to deal with.
Speaker #2: We're really happy to accelerate progress on our Bora Inn platform. We look forward to giving you more announcements in the future. We do believe that this will be a huge competitive advantage for Bora.
Speaker #2: Going into next year, there are some highlights I want to update you on. We have a beta version being tested and going live in the next six months for our CDO business.
Speaker #2: Some highlights of what the beta testing will do: instead of reacting to failures in manufacturing, we're proactively identifying failure points before they occur. That will save bad batches, potentially saving tens of millions of dollars in the future.
Speaker #2: We're going to beta test AI to reduce deviations. Deviations are very, very time-consuming and very difficult to deal with. They talked about 30 to 45 days once a deviation comes up in manufacturing.
Bobby Sheng: They take about 30 to 45 days once a deviation comes up in manufacturing. Then we have to produce CAPAs, which are corrective actions and preventive actions for those deviations. We see AI really advancing us, going from 30 to 45 days of an investigation to now about three to seven days. Finally, CMC documentation is really cumbersome in regulatory and really cumbersome for admissions and approval times. We want to reduce 50% of the CMC documentation, obviously, which will increase the time to market for these drugs once they are getting out of phase III. We do see roughly about TWD 180 million opportunity here. Obviously, some highlights here. According to McKinsey & Company, about the amount of leading pharmaceutical companies now file for regular submission, they want to do it three times faster. According to Boston Consulting Group, the pharma sponsors now explicitly request digital capabilities from CDMO partners during contract negotiations.
Bobby Sheng: They take about 30 to 45 days once a deviation comes up in manufacturing. Then we have to produce CAPAs, which are corrective actions and preventive actions for those deviations. We see AI really advancing us, going from 30 to 45 days of an investigation to now about three to seven days.

We do see roughly about TWD 180 million opportunity here. Obviously, some highlights here. According to McKinsey & Company, about the amount of leading pharmaceutical companies now file for regular submission, they want to do it three times faster.
Speaker #2: And then we have to produce CAPAs, which are corrective actions and preventive actions, for those deviations. We see AI really advancing—going from 40 to 30 to 45 days for an investigation to now about three to seven days.
Speaker #2: Finally, CMC documentation is really cumbersome in regulatory, and really cumbersome for submissions and approval times. We want to reduce 50% of the CMC documentation, obviously, which will increase the time to market for these drugs once they're out of Phase 3.
Speaker #2: We do see roughly about a $180 million opportunity here. Obviously, some highlights here: according to McKinsey, three times the amount of leading pharmaceutical companies now file for regulatory submission.
Speaker #2: They want to do it three times faster. According to Bora and partners, the pharma sponsors now explicitly request digital capabilities from CDMO partners during contract negotiations.
Bobby Sheng: According to Boston Consulting Group, the pharma sponsors now explicitly request digital capabilities from CDMO partners during contract negotiations. That is literally almost all of our partners are asking for now. So 92%, roughly 100%. Filings, we do see through BORA AIM, a 12-week earlier after database block can generate about TWD 180 million in net present value for some of these assets. We definitely see BORA AIM, or Bora now aims to become one of the forward-looking CDMOs capturing big pharma demand. Finally, to give you a strong look into 2026 H2, we definitely are bullish and we see continuing momentum from our Q3 numbers. We see continued demand for our CDMO, continued demand for the onshoring and demand for our US facilities, and site utilization is increasing, which will also increase our gross margin profiles.
Speaker #2: That's literally almost all of our partners asking for this now—so 92%, roughly 100%. Filings, we do see, through AI, A2, that a 12-week earlier filing after database lock can generate about 180%, $80 million, $180 million in net present value for some of these assets.
Bobby Sheng: That is literally almost all of our partners are asking for now. So 92%, roughly 100%. Filings, we do see through BORA AIM, a 12-week earlier after database block can generate about TWD 180 million in net present value for some of these assets.

Finally, to give you a strong look into 2026 H2, we definitely are bullish and we see continuing momentum from our Q3 numbers. We see continued demand for our CDMO, continued demand for the onshoring and demand for our US facilities, and site utilization is increasing, which will also increase our gross margin profiles. On the specialty pharma, we see continued growth, double-digit growth in that as well. Also stability in our generics platform over there.
Speaker #2: And we definitely see Bora, now aims to become one of the forward-looking CDMOs, capturing big pharma demand. And finally, to give you a strong look into 2026, second half, we definitely are bullish and we see continuing momentum from our Q3 numbers.
Speaker #2: We see continued demand for our CDMO, continued demand for onshoring, and demand for our U.S. facilities. Site utilization is increasing, which will also increase our gross margin profile.
Speaker #2: On the specialty pharma, we see continued growth, double-digit growth in that as well. Also stability in our generics platform. Over there. And also because of our investment and our acquisition of the Rockwell facility, we see an increase in biologics.
Bobby Sheng: On the specialty pharma, we see continued growth, double-digit growth in that as well. Also stability in our generics platform over there. Also, because of our investment in our acquisition of the Rockville facility, we see an increase in biologics impact and starting with revenue contribution, but also gross margin increase and net income increase with the valued synergies that we will have with Tanvex and the rest of the group. Finally, Sunway Biotech's consumer healthcare business will continue to realize synergies from the Weider Global Nutrition, LLC acquisition as it establishes a global presence in the consumer healthcare space. So overall, we are very positive from our Q2 earnings, that we are positive that they will continue to bring a strong growth momentum into Q3 and Q4 for the year. Thank you very much. That is the summary of our Q2 earnings for this year.
Bobby Sheng: Also, because of our investment in our acquisition of the Rockville facility, we see an increase in biologics impact and starting with revenue contribution, but also gross margin increase and net income increase with the valued synergies that we will have with Tanvex and the rest of the group.

That is the summary of our Q2 earnings for this year.
Speaker #2: Impact, starting with revenue contribution, but also gross margin increase and net income increase, with the value synergies that we'll have with Tavex and the rest of the group.
Speaker #2: And finally, Sunway Biotech's consumer healthcare business will continue to realize synergies from the Leader acquisition as it establishes a global presence in the consumer healthcare space.
Speaker #2: So overall, we are very positive from our Q2 earnings and are confident that they will continue to bring strong growth momentum into Q3 and Q4 for the year.
Speaker #2: And thank you very much. That’s the summary of our Q2 earnings for this year.

Nadia Chen: Thank you, Bobby Sheng. As a reminder, to ask a question, please click on the Q&A button on the top and type your questions directly into the box. We will wait for roughly two minutes before we take the first question. We now have the first question on the acquisition of the Rockville facility. Bobby Sheng, if you could just paint a bit more color on its pipeline, and where the synergies will come from. Do you expect it to benefit from Incyte's commercial products, or how are the signings looking like at the moment?

Speaker #1: We will wait for roughly two minutes before we take the first question. We now have the first question on the acquisition of the Rockwell facility.
Speaker #1: Bobby, if you could just paint a bit more color on its pipeline and where the synergies will come from. Do you expect it to benefit from insights, commercial products, or how are the signings looking at the moment?
Speaker #2: Okay, apologies. I don't see the Q&A questions coming up on my right. But, okay, can you restate the question again, Nadia?
Bobby Sheng: Apologies. I don't see the Q&A questions come up on my right. Can you restate the question again, Nadia?
Bobby Sheng: Apologies. I don't see the Q&A questions come up on my right. Can you restate the question again, Nadiya?
Speaker #1: The question is on the acquisition of the Rockwell facility. Can you provide more color around its pipeline? Are we benefiting from the commercial product of insights, and how are our signings—BD signings—looking right now?
Nadia Chen: The question is on the acquisition of Rockville facility. Can you paint more colors around this pipeline, if we're benefiting from the commercial product of Incyte and also, how are findings, AD findings looking like right now?
Nadiya Chen: The question is on the acquisition of Rockville facility. Can you paint more colors around this pipeline, if we're benefiting from the commercial product of Incyte and also, how are findings, AD findings looking like right now?
Speaker #2: Oh, yeah, Rockwell's really exciting. I mean, to have a single-use bioreactor is a technology that is really being highly utilized by the industry—20% growth year over year in that industry, especially with the single-use bioreactors.
Bobby Sheng: Yeah, Rockville's really exciting. To have the single-use bioreactor is a technology that is really highly utilized by the industry. 20% growth year-over-year in that industry, especially with the single-use bioreactors. There are three commercial products already being manufactured there. I think if you look into some of the records of Rockville, of MacroGenics, they're partnered with Incyte, and we have two other products there that we don't really like to mention our customers, but Incyte is one of them. It's a great commercial product. They have actually three great commercial products there. Strong regulatory track record there. There are also six programs already in development there with existing customers. So we're really positive. The first couple of months with that facility, very happy with their technology, extremely satisfied with the amount of talent that is there, the amount of talent that's available in Maryland.
Bobby Sheng: Yeah, Rockville's really exciting.

Speaker #2: There are three commercial products already being manufactured there. I think if you look into some of the records of Rockwell, of MacroGenics—they're a partner with InSight.
Speaker #2: And we have two other products that we probably—we don't really like to mention to our customers—but Insight is one of them. It's a great commercial product; actually, there are three great commercial products there.
Speaker #2: Strong regulatory track record there. There are also six programs already in development there with existing customers, so we're really positive about the first couple of months with that facility.
Speaker #2: Very happy with their technology, extremely satisfied with the amount of talent that is there—the amount of talent that's available in Maryland—and the Maryland Biotech facility is something we're really proud to be a part of as well.
Bobby Sheng: The Maryland Biotech facility is something we're really proud to be a part of as well. The capacity for that site is roughly 60 to 70 batches with the current facility, with the current bioreactors. So we can continue to grow that within the current footprint. Even within the current footprint, we can add more capacity as well, but just with the current capacity that is there and the current CapEx that was invested into that facility, we can go up to about 60 batches, like I said, right? Looking forward, we see TWD 60 million in rolling 12-month revenues. That doesn't fully reflect the TWD 30 million that is currently being earmarked to produce there. So definitely some positive numbers. But now we can look into our pipeline that we already have for our business development, and that was going to the San Diego facility.
Bobby Sheng: The Maryland Biotech facility is something we're really proud to be a part of as well. The capacity for that site is roughly 60 to 70 batches with the current facility, with the current bioreactors. So we can continue to grow that within the current footprint.

Speaker #2: So the capacity for that site is roughly 60 to 70 batches with the current facility. With the current bioreactors, we can so we can get we can continue to grow that within the current footprint.
Speaker #2: Even within the current footprint, we can add more capacity as well, but just with the current capacity that is there and the current CapEx that was invested into that facility.
Speaker #2: We can go up to about 60 batches. Like I said, right, looking forward, we see $60 million in rolling 12-month revenues. That doesn't fully reflect the $30 million that is currently being earmarked to produce there.
Speaker #2: So definitely some positive numbers, but now we can look into our pipeline that we already have for our business development, and that was going to the San Diego facility.
Speaker #2: Now we have an option for them to also put product into the Rockwell facility as well. So we definitely see real added value for our customers when they see that we can do cell line development extremely fast, with extremely high quality, at a very, very efficient and effective price within our two-way facility in Taiwan.
Bobby Sheng: Now we have an optionality for them to also put product into the Rockville facility as well. We definitely see a real added value for our customers when they see that we can do cell line development extremely fast with extreme high quality at a very efficient, effective price within our Zhubei facility in Taiwan, now seamlessly tech transferring into development and commercial manufacturing within Rockville in our drug substance. Also now right down the street, 45 minutes, we can produce drug product in our injectables facility. So really offering end-to-end, it is extremely valuable and we are seeing upticks in demand from our injectable facility and our development facility in Zhubei just because of the additional commercial capacity we have. Also really leveraging the current customers they have now. Their current customers, including now Incyte, have now also started discussions with us in our other capabilities.

Speaker #2: Also, really leveraging the current customers that we have now—their current customers, including Insight, have now also started discussions with us in our other capabilities. MacroGenics is starting to have strong discussions with us on some of the cell line development and other things that we have within our broad network.
Bobby Sheng: MacroGenics, Inc. is starting to have strong discussions with us on some of the cell line development and other things that we have within our Bora network. The scalability and the product offerings are being of added value into this acquisition as well. We are really excited about it. But I want to highlight again, quality track record, high compliance within that facility, already very seasoned team with multiple years of producing a large-scale commercial manufacturing is a huge plus for us now within the Bora Group.

Speaker #1: Thank you. We have another question on CHC. So now Bora has a new segment of CHC. What is the majority synergy between CHC and generic drug sales and your CDMO business?
Nadia Chen: Thank you. We have another question on CHC. Now Bora has a new segment of CHC. What is the majority synergy between CHC and generic drug sales and your CDMO business? Why does not the company invest more into CDMO but instead invest into CHC?
Nadiya Chen: Thank you. We have another question on CHC. Now Bora has a new segment of CHC. What is the majority synergy between CHC and generic drug sales and your CDMO business? Why does not the company invest more into CDMO but instead invest into CHC?
Speaker #1: Why does the company not invest more into CDMO, but instead invest into CHC?
Speaker #2: I would say CHC was really a spin-off of a business that we had acquired in 2018. And that business continued to grow. We often acquire businesses because of the CDMO capabilities, but then there are other business units that continue to grow.
Bobby Sheng: I would say, CHC was really a spin-off of a business that we had acquired in 2018, and that business continued to grow. We often acquire businesses because of the CDMO capabilities, but then there is other business units that continue to grow. That business was merged into Sunway Biotech Co., LTD., and as Sunway Biotech Co., LTD. continued to grow, we have always maintained an equity position into that company. That company just continues to grow. I will say it is not really a core of our growth that we are investing in, but they had an equity requirement that they were fundraising. We thought it was a great investment for us. We do see synergies in the manufacturing base of it, so they do have a CDMO business that is continuing to grow.

Speaker #2: That business was merged into Sunway. And as Sunway continued to grow, we've always maintained an equity position in that company. That company just continues to grow.
Speaker #2: I will say it's not really a core part of our growth that we're investing in, but they had an equity requirement as they were fundraising, and we thought it was a great investment for us.
Speaker #2: We do see synergies in the manufacturing base of it. So they do have a CDMO business that is continuing to grow. We do see synergies in our clients—if they have a consumer health division and they need some manufacturing, we do see additional growth there. But also, some of their manufacturing requirements really benefit from our knowledge in the CDMO base.
Bobby Sheng: We do see synergies in our clients having, if they have a consumer health division and they need some manufacturing, we do see additional growth there, but also some of their manufacturing requirements really benefit from our knowledge in the CDMO base. I will say we are including the reports of those earnings because they do represent about roughly 14% of our revenue. So we do want to report them. We want to report that part of the business. However, I will say it is not core of our dual engine. It is not a large investment we are continuing to reinvest in.

Speaker #2: We want to report that part of the business. However, I will say it is not the core of our dual engine. It is not a large investment.
Speaker #2: We're continuing to reinvest in, but they've done so well in that—such a big acquisition for them—that we wanted to include them and update our investors. And when you look at our earnings, if you see 14% of our earnings happening somewhere else within the group, we want to make sure you have visibility of that.
Bobby Sheng: They have done so well, and that is such a big acquisition for them that we wanted them to include them and update our investors in, when you look at our earnings, if you see 14% of our earnings happening somewhere else within the group, we want to make sure you have visibility of that. We want to make sure that you see what they are doing. Also, I think it is a great question. We do not see it as a core focus we are continuing to invest in. But it is a growth business. It is contributing to our top line and our bottom line, and we want to just make sure that the investors are aware of it.
