Q2 subscription revenue reached $44.5 million, up 22.6% year-over-year. While the growth rate softened marginally on the sequential basis, this segment maintained resilient user retention and steady monetization performance. During the quarter, we continued upgrading premium user experiences by rolling out new AI-powered features, optimizing existing functionality, deepening long-term cooperation with leading domestic smartphone partners, and scaling our ecosystem user acquisition channels as planned.

As we communicated in our previous quarterly reports, competition in the overseas entertainment market remains intense. Accordingly, we will stick to our long-term localized operational and marketing strategies instead of chasing near-term scale expansion, fostering sustainable business growth across all our core consumer verticals. Beyond operational performance, to further reinforce market confidence and deliver long-term shareholder returns, we announced a new $20 million share repurchase program at end of June. We believe that this initiative demonstrates our unwavering confidence in the company's solid fundamentals and long-term growth potential. We will maintain disciplined capital allocation, prioritizing investment in core consumer product innovation and international market expansion, while returning excess capital to shareholders when appropriate.

For Q2 2026, total revenues came in at $102.7 million, up 38.9% year-over-year. This steady top-line growth was primarily driven by rising revenues from our subscription business and our overseas audio live streaming business, as well as improved Hupu's advertising business. Breaking down our revenue performance. Subscription revenues reached $44.5 million, a 22.6% year-over-year increase. This performance reflects sustained user demand for a full suite of premium product offerings. Revenue from live streaming and other services totaled $58.2 million, representing a 54.8% year-over-year increase. This strong performance was driven chiefly by rapid expansion of our overseas audio live streaming operations, alongside the growth in advertising revenue from our Hupu sports community during the peak sports season.

Speaker #3: For Q2 2026, total revenue is coming in at $102.7 million, up 38.9% year over year. This steady top-line growth was primarily driven by rising revenues from our subscription business and our overseas audio live streaming business, as well as improved Whole-Force advertising business.

Naijiang Zhou: Cost of revenues was $44.8 million during the quarter, accounting for 43.6% of total revenues. By comparison, in Q2 2025, cost of revenues came to $27 million, or 36.6% of total revenues. The uptick in our cost base largely aligned with the expansion of our live streaming revenues, driven mainly by increased revenue sharing expenses for our overseas audio live streaming operations. Turning to profitability, we generated $57.3 million in gross profits during the second quarter of 2026, up 23.1% year-over-year. Gross margin stood at 55.8%, compared with 63% in the prior year period. The gross profit improvement was fueled by both our subscription business and the Hupu advertising revenue. The notable margin decline stems from a structural revenue mix shift. Since live streaming carries a lower gross margin than subscription and advertising business, its larger share of total revenue mix modestly compressed our overall gross margin.

Speaker #3: At the operating level, we posted an operating loss of $4.8 million, this quarter, a reversal from operating income of $0.3 million in the same period last year.

Naijiang Zhou: At the operating level, we posted an operating loss of $4.8 million this quarter, a reversal from operating income of $0.3 million in the same period last year. This swing was largely due to the sequential and year-over-year rise in our selling, marketing, and general administrative expenses outlined above. We posted a net other loss of $230.8 million for the quarter, versus net income of $771.5 million in Q2 2025. The dramatic swing was mainly driven by fair value volatility on our long-term investment in Arashi Vision Inc., which is accounted for on a mark-to-market basis using public stock prices after the company's IPO in June 2025. Unlike Q1, there were no discontinued operations to report for Q2 2026, following the disposal of our Shenzhen Wanxin business last quarter.

Speaker #3: The geometric swing was mainly driven by sale value volatility on our long-term investment in a Russia-vision ink, which is accounted for on mark-to-market basis using public stock prices after the company's IPO in June 2025.

Speaker #3: Unlike Q1, there were no discontinued operations to report for Q2 2026. Following the disposal of our Shenzhen Wanxing business last quarter, our net loss from continuing operations was $218.5 million this quarter, compared with net income of $726.4 million in Q2 2025.

Speaker #3: The net loss was mainly due to the material net other loss just mentioned, partially offset by positive gross profit growth in our core consumer-facing business.
