Our key priorities for 2025 include the following: For Momo, our goal is to maintain the productivity of this cash cow business with a healthy social ecosystem. For Tantan, the goal is to improve its core dating experience and build an efficient business model that drives profitable growth. As for the new endeavors, our goal is to deepening our presence in the overseas market, enrich our brand portfolio and build a long-term engine. And now let me walk you through the details.

Therefore, our product efforts are focused on optimizing the chat experience and creating better chat scenarios and tools for users. We fully rolled out in-house developed AI greeting features in the first half of the year. Data shows that the repriced rate of male users has increased as a result. It proves the team's exploration on leveraging AI technologies to upgrade social chatting tools is practicable during the past year. In Q3, we updated the AI chat assistant model based on earlier tests by leveraging the platform's core price.๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ €ํฌ ์ œํ’ˆ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์€ ์ฑ„ํŒ… ๊ฒฝํ—˜์„ ์ตœ์ ํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋“ค์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋” ๋‚˜์€ ์ฑ„ํŒ… ์‹œ๋‚˜๋ฆฌ์˜ค์™€ ๋„๊ตฌ๋ฅผ ๋งŒ๋“œ๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ง‘์ค‘๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์ž์ฒด ๊ฐœ๋ฐœํ•œ AI ์ธ์‚ฌ๋ง ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์„ ์ „๋ฉด ์ถœ์‹œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ์— ๋”ฐ๋ฅด๋ฉด ๊ทธ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ ๋‚จ์„ฑ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž์˜ ์žฌ๊ตฌ๋งค์œจ์ด ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ 1๋…„๊ฐ„ ์†Œ์…œ ์ฑ„ํŒ… ๋„๊ตฌ๋ฅผ ์—…๊ทธ๋ ˆ์ด๋“œํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด AI ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๋ ค๋Š” ํŒ€์˜ ์‹œ๋„๊ฐ€ ์‹คํ˜„ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•จ์„ ์ž…์ฆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ •์ฑ…์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜์—ฌ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ํ…Œ์ŠคํŠธ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ AI ์ฑ„ํŒ… ์–ด์‹œ์Šคํ„ดํŠธ ๋ชจ๋ธ์„ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
The model was optimized to better align with users' preferences and chatting styles, thereby encouraging more users to adopt the AI chat assistant content suggestions during the ongoing conversations. We have increased exposure to this feature to improve its penetration rates on the platform, enabling more users to benefit from it. The optimization of the AI chat assistant model and its in-platform promotion has improved the female users' experience, driving ongoing quarter-over-quarter increase in various user metrics such as number of 2-way chats, the rate of in-depth chats and user retention, et cetera.์ด ๋ชจ๋ธ์€ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž์˜ ์„ ํ˜ธ๋„์™€ ๋Œ€ํ™” ์Šคํƒ€์ผ์— ๋” ์ž˜ ๋ถ€ํ•ฉํ•˜๋„๋ก ์ตœ์ ํ™”๋˜์–ด, ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ธ ๋Œ€ํ™”์—์„œ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋“ค์ด AI ์ฑ„ํŒ… ์–ด์‹œ์Šคํ„ดํŠธ์˜ ์ฝ˜ํ…์ธ  ์ œ์•ˆ์„ ์ฑ„ํƒํ•˜๋„๋ก ์œ ๋„ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ๋‚ด ์นจํˆฌ์œจ์„ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ด ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋…ธ์ถœ์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜์—ฌ, ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋“ค์ด ํ˜œํƒ์„ ๋ฐ›์„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

On the user acquisition front, we dynamically adjusted the channel budget allocation based on their ROI performance to ensure 100% ROI. Over the past year, although the shift to a profit-oriented channel strategy brought to the turn of large number of ultra-low spending users, it improved the platform's overall profitability by reducing user acquisition expenditure with negative returns. As of Q3, the impact of reduced channel investment on paying users has bottomed out. The multiple new gifting features we introduced in audio-based scenario led by chat rooms drove a paying ratio increase, driving the number of paying users to increase by 200,000 quarter-over-quarter to 3.7 million in Q3.์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ํ™•๋ณด ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ๋Š” 100% ROI๋ฅผ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๊ฐ ์ฑ„๋„์˜ ROI ์„ฑ๊ณผ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์˜ˆ์‚ฐ ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„์„ ๋™์ ์œผ๋กœ ์กฐ์ •ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ 1๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์˜ ์ฑ„๋„ ์ „๋žต์œผ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์ดˆ์ €์ง€์ถœ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋“ค์ด ๋Œ€๊ฑฐ ์ดํƒˆํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ๋งˆ์ด๋„ˆ์Šค ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์„ ๋ณด์ด๋Š” ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ํ™•๋ณด ์ง€์ถœ์„ ์ค„์ž„์œผ๋กœ์จ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ์„ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์ฑ„๋„ ํˆฌ์ž ์ถ•์†Œ๊ฐ€ ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž์— ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ์˜ํ–ฅ์€ ๋ฐ”๋‹ฅ์„ ์ฐ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฑ„ํŒ…๋ฃธ์„ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์œผ๋กœ ํ•œ ์˜ค๋””์˜ค ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์‹œ๋‚˜๋ฆฌ์˜ค์—์„œ ๋„์ž…ํ•œ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์„ ๋ฌผํ•˜๊ธฐ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ๋“ค์ด ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์ „ํ™˜์œจ ์ƒ์Šน์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์ด์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ์ˆ˜๋Š” ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 20๋งŒ ๋ช… ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ 370๋งŒ ๋ช…์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Although the reduction in user acquisition spending has led to a slight year-over-year decrease in overall user scale, Momo's social fundamental remains robust. Thanks to the product upgrades and the recommendation algorithm optimization, which has enhanced the user experience. User engagement continue to grow within a healthy social ecosystem. According to an independent report released by our Kress Mobile 2025, Male Consumer Market Insights in June, Momo as a 40-year-old social brand remained the top Social Choice for Male users aged 30 to 40. This clearly shows that Momo has established strong brand loyalty among high-value users in -- with substantial spending power.์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ํ™•๋ณด ์ง€์ถœ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์ „์ฒด ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ๊ทœ๋ชจ๊ฐ€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์†Œํญ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, Momo์˜ ์†Œ์…œ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ œํ’ˆ ์—…๊ทธ๋ ˆ์ด๋“œ์™€ ์ถ”์ฒœ ์•Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์ฆ˜ ์ตœ์ ํ™”๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ๊ฒฝํ—˜์ด ํ–ฅ์ƒ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•œ ์†Œ์…œ ์ƒํƒœ๊ณ„ ๋‚ด์—์„œ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ์ฐธ์—ฌ๋„๋Š” ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We believe this is a valuable asset that company will continue to nurture and benefit from for years to come. Now on the productivity of Momo cash cow business. In Q3, Momo's value-added service revenue reached RMB 1.79 billion, down 11% year-over-year and 3% quarter-over-quarter. As we indicated last quarter, the new tax requirements came out at the end of June, coupled with the local tax authorities, inspections of agencies since Q3 have really impacted the operation focus of some broadcasters and agencies on our platform, leading to a significant revenue decline in revenue in audio and video-based scenario.๋ชจ๋ชจ์˜ ์บ์‹œ์นด์šฐ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ชจ๋ชจ์˜ ๋ถ€๊ฐ€๊ฐ€์น˜ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๋งค์ถœ์€ 17์–ต 9์ฒœ๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 11% ๊ฐ์†Œ, ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3% ๊ฐ์†Œํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, 6์›” ๋ง์— ๋ฐœํ‘œ๋œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์„ธ๊ธˆ ์š”๊ฑด๊ณผ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์‹œ์ž‘๋œ ์ง€์—ญ ์„ธ๋ฌด ๋‹น๊ตญ์˜ ์—์ด์ „์‹œ ์กฐ์‚ฌ๊ฐ€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ์ผ๋ถ€ ๋ฐฉ์†ก์ธ๊ณผ ์—์ด์ „์‹œ์˜ ์šด์˜ ์ง‘์ค‘๋„์— ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์ณค์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์˜ค๋””์˜ค ๋ฐ ๋น„๋””์˜ค ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์‹œ๋‚˜๋ฆฌ์˜ค์—์„œ ๋งค์ถœ์ด ํฌ๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

To alleviate supply side pressure, we rolled out a new revenue sharing policy in August, providing appropriate subsidies to broadcasters and agencies that were severely affected by tax changes. The policy has some encouraging effects, but it couldn't fully offset the negative impact from the tax scrutiny in the short term. Turning to Tantan. As of the end of Q3, Tantan had 0.7 million paying users, broadly in line with last quarter. The pressure on the paying ratio caused by last year's product upgrade was fully released after the complete rollout of the pilot in Q2. In Q3, the team drove a slight recovery in the paying ratio by adjusting the monetization strategy.๊ณต๊ธ‰ ์ธก๋ฉด์˜ ์••๋ฐ•์„ ์™„ํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 8์›”์— ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ์ •์ฑ…์„ ์‹œํ–‰ํ•˜์—ฌ ์„ธ๋ฌด ๋ณ€ํ™”๋กœ ์‹ฌ๊ฐํ•œ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์€ ๋ฐฉ์†ก์ธ๊ณผ ์—์ด์ „์‹œ์— ์ ์ ˆํ•œ ๋ณด์กฐ๊ธˆ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ •์ฑ…์€ ์ผ๋ถ€ ๊ณ ๋ฌด์ ์ธ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์˜€์ง€๋งŒ, ๋‹จ๊ธฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ๋Š” ์„ธ๋ฌด ์กฐ์‚ฌ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ๋ถ€์ •์  ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์™„์ „ํžˆ ์ƒ์‡„ํ•˜์ง€๋Š” ๋ชปํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํƒ„ํƒ„์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ง ๊ธฐ์ค€, ํƒ„ํƒ„์˜ ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋Š” 70๋งŒ ๋ช…์œผ๋กœ ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ ๋Œ€์ฒด๋กœ ๋น„์Šทํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž‘๋…„ ์ œํ’ˆ ์—…๊ทธ๋ ˆ์ด๋“œ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์ „ํ™˜์œจ ์••๋ฐ•์€ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ํŒŒ์ผ๋Ÿฟ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์ด ์™„์ „ํžˆ ์ถœ์‹œ๋œ ํ›„ ์™„์ „ํžˆ ํ•ด์†Œ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ˆ˜์ตํ™” ์ „๋žต์„ ์กฐ์ •ํ•˜์—ฌ ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์ „ํ™˜์œจ์ด ์†Œํญ ํšŒ๋ณต๋˜๋„๋ก ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Turning to Tantan's financials. Revenue from the onshore business in Q3 was RMB 150 million, down 15% -- 30% year-over-year and 5% quarter-over-quarter. The revenue decrease was due to the decline in number of paying users, but ARPPU significantly increased 25% year-over-year and 6% quarter-over-quarter.Tantan์˜ ์žฌ๋ฌด ์‹ค์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ค‘๊ตญ ๋‚ด ์‚ฌ์—… ๋งค์ถœ์€ 1์–ต 5์ฒœ๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์œผ๋กœ, ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 30% ๊ฐ์†Œ, ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 5% ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์ถœ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋Š” ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ์ˆ˜ ๊ฐ์†Œ์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ARPPU(์œ ๋ฃŒ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋‹น ํ‰๊ท  ๋งค์ถœ)๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 25%, ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 6% ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
At the product level, we continue to refine our strategy on optimizing the experience for female users, which includes establishing a curated recommendation pool for newly registered female users improve their swipe quality and providing highly attractive female users with a more diverse male recommendation to enrich their matching options and implementing an overheating protection mechanism to prevent excessive matches that may affect of current interactions.

Both enhancement in female user experience and male user recommendation algorithm has driven quarter-over-quarter growth in several key user metrics, such as day 1 retention, average life of -- average number of lives per user and DAU among new users. At the monetization level, we introduced basic products such as unlimited lives privilege pack to fill the gap in low-tier membership offering. Regarding the algorithm, we slightly adjusted the matching rate for high potential paying users to improve their conversion to paying.์—ฌ์„ฑ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ๊ฒฝํ—˜ ๊ฐœ์„ ๊ณผ ๋‚จ์„ฑ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ์ถ”์ฒœ ์•Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์ฆ˜ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž์˜ 1์ผ์ฐจ ๋ฆฌํ…์…˜, ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋‹น ํ‰๊ท  ๋ผ์ดํ”„ ์ˆ˜, DAU ๋“ฑ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ์ง€ํ‘œ์—์„œ ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ˆ˜์ตํ™” ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ๋Š” ๋ฌด์ œํ•œ ๋ผ์ดํ”„ ํŠน์ „ ํŒฉ๊ณผ ๊ฐ™์€ ๊ธฐ๋ณธ ์ƒํ’ˆ์„ ๋„์ž…ํ•˜์—ฌ ์ €๊ฐ€ ๋ฉค๋ฒ„์‹ญ ์ƒํ’ˆ๊ตฐ์˜ ๊ณต๋ฐฑ์„ ๋ฉ”์› ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์ฆ˜๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ๊ณ ์ž ์žฌ ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž์˜ ๋งค์นญ๋ฅ ์„ ์†Œํญ ์กฐ์ •ํ•˜์—ฌ ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์ „ํ™˜์œจ์„ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In Q3, although our focus on acquiring higher-quality user groups led to a sequential increase in unit acquisition costs, the restructuring of our new membership system combined with the algorithm optimization drove ARPPU growth, pushing Tantan's channel ROI to a record high. As a result, despite pressure on user scale and revenue, Tantan achieved significantly -- significant year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter profit growth, creating more room for our gaming products to exploration tailored to Asian users. Lastly, in overseas business, in Q3, revenue reached RMB 535 million, up 69% year-over-year and 21% quarter-over-quarter.3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๊ณ ํ’ˆ์งˆ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ๊ทธ๋ฃน ํ™•๋ณด์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ๋‹จ์œ„๋‹น ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํš๋“ ๋น„์šฉ์ด ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์‹ ๊ทœ ๋ฉค๋ฒ„์‹ญ ์ฒด๊ณ„ ๊ฐœํŽธ๊ณผ ์•Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์ฆ˜ ์ตœ์ ํ™”๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ARPPU(์œ ๋ฃŒ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋‹น ํ‰๊ท  ๋งค์ถœ) ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜์—ฌ Tantan์˜ ์ฑ„๋„ ROI๊ฐ€ ์‚ฌ์ƒ ์ตœ๊ณ ์น˜๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ, ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ๊ทœ๋ชจ์™€ ๋งค์ถœ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์••๋ฐ•์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  Tantan์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋ฐ ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์œ ์˜๋ฏธํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ๋งž์ถคํ˜• ๊ฒŒ์ž„ ์ œํ’ˆ ํƒ์ƒ‰์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์—ฌ๋ ฅ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ ํ•ด์™ธ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งค์ถœ์€ 5์–ต 3,500๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜์—ฌ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 69%, ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 21% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Overseas revenue accounted for 20% of the group's revenue compared to 12% in the same period of last year. In Q3, overseas revenue growth mainly came from audio and video social products in the MENA region. Among them, Yaahlan and Amar continue to enhance product features by improving localized operations and strengthening product and partnerships, driving a steady increase in both number of paying users and ARPPU. On the user acquisition front, during the first half of the year, we observed a rapid rise in user acquisition costs while scaling up channel investments in new products. So we slowed down our marketing efforts and try to find a scalable solution that can also balance ROI.ํ•ด์™ธ ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์ „์ฒด ๊ทธ๋ฃน ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 20%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ 12%์™€ ๋น„๊ต๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํ•ด์™ธ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์ฃผ๋กœ MENA ์ง€์—ญ์˜ ์˜ค๋””์˜ค ๋ฐ ๋น„๋””์˜ค ์†Œ์…œ ์ œํ’ˆ์—์„œ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ์ค‘์—์„œ๋„ Yaahlan๊ณผ Amar๋Š” ํ˜„์ง€ํ™” ์šด์˜ ๊ฐœ์„ ๊ณผ ์ œํ’ˆ ๋ฐ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ ๊ฐ•ํ™”๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ œํ’ˆ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ–ฅ์ƒ์‹œ์ผฐ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์œ ๋ฃŒ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ์ˆ˜์™€ ARPPU(์œ ๋ฃŒ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋‹น ํ‰๊ท  ๋งค์ถœ) ๋ชจ๋‘ ๊พธ์ค€ํ•œ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ํ™•๋ณด ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ๋Š”, ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์ œํ’ˆ์˜ ์ฑ„๋„ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ณผ์ •์—์„œ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ํ™•๋ณด ๋น„์šฉ์ด ๊ธ‰๊ฒฉํžˆ ์ƒ์Šนํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ํ™•์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ํ™œ๋™์„ ๋Šฆ์ถ”๊ณ  ROI(ํˆฌ์ž์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ )์˜ ๊ท ํ˜•๋„ ๋งž์ถœ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ํ™•์žฅ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์„ ์ฐพ๊ณ ์ž ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In Q3, our channel experiments shows initial success. So, we moderately increased channel spending and accelerated revenue growth. Meanwhile, SoulChill, our largest audio-based social product in MENA region, optimized its marketing strategy by increasing investment proportion in high-value countries, driving a substantial growth in both revenue and profit. Except for these three audio-based products, we have recently begun testing the expansion of audio and video-based social entertainment products into other high ARPPU regions, such as the Gulf countries and Japan.

With Happn joining our portfolio, the group's product landscape now officially extend to Europe, further enriching the diversity of our overseas dating products. We believe that the high-quality dating brands like Happn, which originated in Western developed world, have significant growth potential in Asia Pacific region. In the past, these brands were constrained by limited resources and insufficient localization expertise, preventing them from fully realizing their potential in the Asia Pacific region. We hope that the combination of -- Hello Group and this brand will fully unleash that potential.Happn์ด ์ €ํฌ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค์— ํ•ฉ๋ฅ˜ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ, ๊ทธ๋ฃน์˜ ์ œํ’ˆ ๋ผ์ธ์—…์ด ์ด์ œ ๊ณต์‹์ ์œผ๋กœ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•์žฅ๋˜์–ด ํ•ด์™ธ ๋ฐ์ดํŒ… ์ œํ’ˆ์˜ ๋‹ค์–‘์„ฑ์ด ๋”์šฑ ํ’๋ถ€ํ•ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” Happn๊ณผ ๊ฐ™์ด ์„œ๊ตฌ ์„ ์ง„๊ตญ์—์„œ ์‹œ์ž‘๋œ ๊ณ ํ’ˆ์งˆ ๋ฐ์ดํŒ… ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์ด ์•„์‹œ์•„ ํƒœํ‰์–‘ ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณผ๊ฑฐ์— ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์€ ์ œํ•œ๋œ ์ž์›๊ณผ ๋ถˆ์ถฉ๋ถ„ํ•œ ํ˜„์ง€ํ™” ์ „๋ฌธ์„ฑ์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์•„์‹œ์•„ ํƒœํ‰์–‘ ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์„ ์ถฉ๋ถ„ํžˆ ์‹คํ˜„ํ•˜์ง€ ๋ชปํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” Hello Group๊ณผ ์ด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ๊ฒฐํ•ฉ์ด ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์„ ์™„์ „ํžˆ ๋ฐœํœ˜ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to the company was RMB 404.5 million compared to RMB 493.3 million in the same period of 2024 and RMB 461.9 million in the previous quarter, excluding a one-off tax expense item. Looking into the key revenue items for Q3. Total revenue from value-added services for the third quarter of 2025 was RMB 2.61 billion, down 1% year-on-year, but up 1% quarter-on-quarter. On a user geography basis, PRC Mainland value-added services revenue was RMB 2.08 billion, down 11% year-over-year and 3% quarter-over-quarter.ํšŒ์‚ฌ ๊ท€์† Non-GAAP ์ˆœ์ด์ต์€ 4์–ต 450๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์œผ๋กœ, 2024๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ 4์–ต 9,330๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ ๋ฐ ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ 4์–ต 6,190๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ(์ผํšŒ์„ฑ ์„ธ๊ธˆ ๋น„์šฉ ํ•ญ๋ชฉ ์ œ์™ธ)๊ณผ ๋น„๊ต๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ฃผ์š” ๋งค์ถœ ํ•ญ๋ชฉ์„ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ถ€๊ฐ€๊ฐ€์น˜ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์ด๋งค์ถœ์€ 26์–ต 1,000๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 1% ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์œผ๋‚˜, ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 1% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ์ง€์—ญ๋ณ„๋กœ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ค‘๊ตญ ๋ณธํ†  ๋ถ€๊ฐ€๊ฐ€์น˜ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๋งค์ถœ์€ 20์–ต 8,000๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 11% ๊ฐ์†Œ, ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3% ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
The decrease was primarily attributable to three factors: number one, tax scrutiny on certain broadcasters and agencies, which distracted their operational focus; number two, softened consumer sentiment driven by macro factors; and number three, a decline in paying users on Tantan. BaaS overseas revenue came in at RMB 533.1 million, up 69% year-over-year and 21% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and sequential growth was mainly driven by rapid expansion from multiple social entertainment as well as dating brands across our rich portfolio.

Non-GAAP cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was RMB 1.65 billion compared to RMB 1.62 billion for the same period last year. Non-GAAP gross margin for the quarter was 37.6%, down 1.7 percentage points from the year ago period. The decrease was primarily attributable to two factors: number one, a deliberately higher payout ratio for the Momo business to ease supply side pressure amid tax scrutiny; number two, a structural revenue shift towards overseas markets, which payment -- where payment channel costs represent a higher percentage of revenue.2025๋…„ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ Non-GAAP ๋งค์ถœ์›๊ฐ€๋Š” 16์–ต 5์ฒœ๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ 16์–ต 2์ฒœ๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ๊ณผ ๋น„๊ต๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ถ„๊ธฐ Non-GAAP ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ 37.6%๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 1.7%ํฌ์ธํŠธ ํ•˜๋ฝํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์š”์ธ์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ์งธ, ์„ธ๋ฌด ์กฐ์‚ฌ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์ธก ์••๋ฐ•์„ ์™„ํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด Momo ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ์ง€๊ธ‰ ๋น„์œจ์„ ์˜๋„์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋†’์ธ ์ , ๋‘˜์งธ, ํ•ด์™ธ ์‹œ์žฅ์œผ๋กœ์˜ ๊ตฌ์กฐ์  ๋งค์ถœ ์ด๋™์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๊ฒฐ์ œ ์ฑ„๋„ ๋น„์šฉ์ด ๋งค์ถœ์—์„œ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ๋น„์ค‘์ด ๋” ๋†’์•„์ง„ ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses for the third quarter was RMB 170.6 million compared to RMB 185.4 million for the same period last year, representing an 8% decrease year-over-year. The decrease was attributed to personnel optimization. Non-GAAP R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue was 6% compared with 7% from the year ago period. We ended the quarter with 1,386 total employees compared to 1,355 from a year ago. The R&D personnel as a percentage of total employees for the group was 57% compared to 61% from Q3 last year.3๋ถ„๊ธฐ Non-GAAP ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ๋น„๋Š” 1์–ต 7,060๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ 1์–ต 8,540๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ ๋Œ€๋น„ 8% ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋Š” ์ธ๋ ฅ ์ตœ์ ํ™”์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์ถœ ๋Œ€๋น„ Non-GAAP ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ๋น„ ๋น„์ค‘์€ 6%๋กœ, ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ 7%์—์„œ ํ•˜๋ฝํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ง ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์ด ์ž„์ง์› ์ˆ˜๋Š” 1,386๋ช…์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ 1,355๋ช… ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฃน ์ „์ฒด ์ž„์ง์› ์ค‘ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ ์ธ๋ ฅ ๋น„์ค‘์€ 57%๋กœ, ์ง€๋‚œํ•ด 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ 61%์—์„œ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter was RMB 335.9 million compared to RMB 350.1 million for the same period last year, both representing 13% of total revenue. The year-over-year decrease in sales and marketing expenses was attributable to the ongoing cost control strategy for the PRC businesses, where both Momo and Tantan narrowed their marketing spend. This decrease was partially offset by the increase in channel investment for the overseas apps. Non-GAAP G&A expenses was RMB 91.0 million for the third quarter compared to RMB 85.2 million for the same quarter last year, both representing 3% of total revenue, respectively.3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋น„-GAAP ํŒ๋งค ๋ฐ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ๋น„์šฉ์€ 3์–ต 3,590๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์œผ๋กœ, ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ 3์–ต 5,010๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋‘ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์ด ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 13%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŒ๋งค ๋ฐ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ๋น„์šฉ์˜ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋Š” ์ค‘๊ตญ ์‚ฌ์—…๋ถ€๋ฌธ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๋น„์šฉ ํ†ต์ œ ์ „๋žต์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ, Momo์™€ Tantan ๋ชจ๋‘ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ์ง€์ถœ์„ ์ถ•์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋Š” ํ•ด์™ธ ์•ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ฑ„๋„ ํˆฌ์ž ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ์‡„๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋น„-GAAP ์ผ๋ฐ˜๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋น„๋Š” 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ 9,100๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ 8,520๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋‘ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ ๋ชจ๋‘ ๊ฐ๊ฐ ์ด ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 3%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

As of September 30, 2025, Hello Group's cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits, long-term deposits, short-term investments and restricted cash totaled RMB 8.86 billion compared to RMB 14.73 billion as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash reserves was primarily attributable to three factors: number one, repayment of RMB 4.41 billion bank loans, including accrued interest; number two, payment of special cash dividends totaling RMB 346 million to our shareholders in Q2; and number three, a one-off withholding tax payment of RMB 356 million in September, which was previously communicated during our last earnings call.2025๋…„ 9์›” 30์ผ ๊ธฐ์ค€, Hello Group์˜ ํ˜„๊ธˆ, ํ˜„๊ธˆ์„ฑ์ž์‚ฐ, ๋‹จ๊ธฐ์˜ˆ๊ธˆ, ์žฅ๊ธฐ์˜ˆ๊ธˆ, ๋‹จ๊ธฐํˆฌ์ž ๋ฐ ์ œํ•œํ˜„๊ธˆ์€ ์ด 88์–ต 6์ฒœ๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์œผ๋กœ, 2024๋…„ 12์›” 31์ผ ๊ธฐ์ค€ 147์–ต 3์ฒœ๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„๊ธˆ๋ณด์œ ๊ณ  ๊ฐ์†Œ๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ์„ธ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์š”์ธ์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค: ์ฒซ์งธ, ๋ฏธ์ง€๊ธ‰์ด์ž๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•œ 44์–ต 1์ฒœ๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์˜ ์€ํ–‰๋Œ€์ถœ ์ƒํ™˜, ๋‘˜์งธ, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ฃผ์ฃผ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ง€๊ธ‰ํ•œ ์ด 3์–ต 4,600๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์˜ ํŠน๋ณ„ ํ˜„๊ธˆ๋ฐฐ๋‹น๊ธˆ, ์…‹์งธ, ์ง€๋‚œ ์‹ค์ ๋ฐœํ‘œ ์ปจํผ๋Ÿฐ์Šค์ฝœ์—์„œ ์‚ฌ์ „ ์•ˆ๋‚ด๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๋ฐ” ์žˆ๋Š” 9์›” ์ผํšŒ์„ฑ ์›์ฒœ์ง•์ˆ˜์„ธ 3์–ต 5,600๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ ๋‚ฉ๋ถ€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter 2025 was RMB 143.5 million. The gap between operating cash flow and non-GAAP net income was primarily attributable to the payment of the above-mentioned withholding tax. Lastly, on business outlook. We estimated our fourth quarter revenue to come in the range from RMB 2.52 billion to RMB 2.62 billion, representing a decrease of 4.4% to 0.6% year-on-year. This is based on the assumption that on a year-over-year basis, revenue from our Mainland China business will decline by mid- to low teens percentage-wise, while overseas revenue is expected to maintain a growth rate similar to that seen in Q3.2025๋…„ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์˜์—…ํ™œ๋™์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์ˆœํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„์€ 1์–ต 4,350๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜์—…ํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„๊ณผ Non-GAAP ์ˆœ์ด์ต ๊ฐ„์˜ ์ฐจ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ์•ž์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ์›์ฒœ์ง•์ˆ˜์„ธ ๋‚ฉ๋ถ€์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ ์‚ฌ์—… ์ „๋ง์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งค์ถœ์ด 25์–ต 2,000๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ์—์„œ 26์–ต 2,000๋งŒ ์œ„์•ˆ ์‚ฌ์ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 4.4% ๊ฐ์†Œ์—์„œ 0.6% ๊ฐ์†Œ์— ํ•ด๋‹นํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ค‘๊ตญ ๋ณธํ†  ์‚ฌ์—… ๋งค์ถœ์ด 10% ์ค‘ํ›„๋ฐ˜๋Œ€ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ˜๋ฉด, ํ•ด์™ธ ๋งค์ถœ์€ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ ์œ ์‚ฌํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ๊ฐ€์ •์— ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Thomas Chong: Jefferies LLC, Research Division [Foreign Language] During the prepared remarks, management highlights Momo was affected by the tax issue from the supply side and adjust the revenue sharing ratio. Can management comment about the latest progress of the adjustment? And how should we think about the margin impact? On the other hand, can management also provide some more color why our peers didn't mention a similar issue? On the guidance we've just given, there's about a low teens year-on-year decline for Momo. So, just for the full year. So, how should we think about the revenue trend for this cash card business as we come into 2026?**Thomas Chong:** ์ค€๋น„๋œ ๋ฐœ์–ธ์—์„œ ๊ฒฝ์˜์ง„๊ป˜์„œ Momo๊ฐ€ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ์ธก๋ฉด์˜ ์„ธ๊ธˆ ๋ฌธ์ œ๋กœ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์•„ ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ๋น„์œจ์„ ์กฐ์ •ํ–ˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๊ฐ•์กฐํ•˜์…จ๋Š”๋ฐ์š”. ์ด ์กฐ์ •์˜ ์ตœ๊ทผ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ƒํ™ฉ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๊นŒ? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋งˆ์ง„์— ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ์˜ํ–ฅ์€ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ด์•ผ ํ• ๊นŒ์š”? ํ•œํŽธ, ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ๋“ค์€ ์œ ์‚ฌํ•œ ๋ฌธ์ œ๋ฅผ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š์•˜๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋„ ์ข€ ๋” ์ž์„ธํžˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์œผ์‹ ๊ฐ€์š”? ๋ฐฉ๊ธˆ ์ œ์‹œํ•˜์‹  ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋ฉด Momo์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ 10% ์ดˆ๋ฐ˜๋Œ€์˜ ๊ฐ์†Œ๊ฐ€ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋Š”๋ฐ์š”. ์ „์ฒด ์—ฐ๋„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฒ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ ‡๋‹ค๋ฉด 2026๋…„์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€๋ฉด์„œ ์ด ์บ์‹œ ์นด๋“œ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๋งค์ถœ ์ถ”์ด๋ฅผ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ์ „๋งํ•ด์•ผ ํ• ๊นŒ์š”?
Yan Tang: Executive Chairman & CEO [Interpreted] Okay. Let me translate. At the end of Q2, tax authorities introduced policy adjustments related to the flexible workforce, which officially took effect on October 1. For Momo, these adjustments primarily affect some mid-tier broadcasters and agencies in our audio and video-based scenarios. And shortly after the adjustments were announced, regional tax authorities in certain areas reached out to the local MCMs to clarify implementation details. And this led to a noticeable decline in work enthusiasm among supply side even before the adjustments were formally effective, resulting in revenue pressure for Momo app in the third quarter. Momo has maintained a relatively low revenue sharing ratio to broadcasters and agencies compared to our peers. Thanks to our unique social attributes and agencies and broadcasters were willing to accept this lower ratio while still making considerable income. However, this very characteristic made them particularly vulnerable to these recent tax changes and especially some mid-tier agencies. To protect the reasonable income level of our supply side partners, in August, we adjusted the revenue sharing policy for the group's mostly affected by the tax changes. This initiative led to a modest sequential revenue recovery in September compared to July and August. However, during Q4, with the formal implementation of the tax policy adjustment and tightened regulatory oversight of the agency's tax compliance, we have observed further pressure on certain agencies and broadcasters. And to partially offset these impacts, we have further increased the revenue sharing support for the supply side. And these additional concessions are expected to reduce the group's gross margin by approximately 1 to 2 percentage points in the second half of 2025. On the revenue front, we had originally expected the year-on-year decline in the domestic revenue in the second half to narrow compared to the first half. However, based on the Q3 actual results and our Q4 current outlook, this improvement has not materialized to the extent anticipated. Furthermore, I would like to echo Sic's earlier remarks. As one of the China's earliest mobile social platform, Momo has maintained strong brand vitality to this day, driven by continuous product innovation and back-end algorithm optimization. Core engagement metrics such as tooling messages, in-depth chat rates and user retention have continued to improve steadily. In Q3, the launch of new scenarios, particularly audio and video chats contributed to a steady increase in the number of paying users. This not only reflects continuous improvement -- improving connection efficiency between the platform and our users, but also validates Momo's solid operational foundation and product innovation capabilities within this open social field. And coupled with our profit-oriented strategy and the team's effective cost control, we are fully confident that Momo will continue to deliver meaningful profit and operating cash flow to the group. For specific figures, I will hand over to Cathy.**Yan Tang:** 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ง์— ์„ธ๋ฌด ๋‹น๊ตญ์ด ์œ ์—ฐ ๊ทผ๋กœ ์ธ๋ ฅ๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ์ •์ฑ… ์กฐ์ •์„ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์ด๋Š” 10์›” 1์ผ๋ถ€๋กœ ๊ณต์‹ ์‹œํ–‰๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ชจ๋ชจ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์กฐ์ •์€ ์ฃผ๋กœ ์˜ค๋””์˜ค ๋ฐ ๋น„๋””์˜ค ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์‹œ๋‚˜๋ฆฌ์˜ค์—์„œ ์ผ๋ถ€ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ๊ทœ๋ชจ ๋ฐฉ์†ก์ธ๊ณผ ์—์ด์ „์‹œ์— ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์ณค์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์กฐ์ •์•ˆ์ด ๋ฐœํ‘œ๋œ ์งํ›„, ํŠน์ • ์ง€์—ญ์˜ ์„ธ๋ฌด ๋‹น๊ตญ์ด ํ˜„์ง€ MCM๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์—ฐ๋ฝํ•˜์—ฌ ์‹œํ–‰ ์„ธ๋ถ€์‚ฌํ•ญ์„ ๋ช…ํ™•ํžˆ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์กฐ์ •์•ˆ์ด ๊ณต์‹์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ฐœํšจ๋˜๊ธฐ๋„ ์ „์— ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ์ธก์˜ ์—…๋ฌด ์˜์š•์ด ๋ˆˆ์— ๋„๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ๊ณ , ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ ์œผ๋กœ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ชจ๋ชจ ์•ฑ์˜ ๋งค์ถœ ์••๋ฐ•์œผ๋กœ ์ด์–ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ชจ๋ชจ๋Š” ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ๋“ค๊ณผ ๋น„๊ตํ–ˆ์„ ๋•Œ ๋ฐฉ์†ก์ธ ๋ฐ ์—์ด์ „์‹œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ๋น„์œจ์„ ์ƒ๋Œ€์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋‚ฎ๊ฒŒ ์œ ์ง€ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ์˜ ๋…ํŠนํ•œ ์†Œ์…œ ์†์„ฑ ๋•๋ถ„์— ์—์ด์ „์‹œ์™€ ๋ฐฉ์†ก์ธ๋“ค์€ ์ด ๋‚ฎ์€ ๋น„์œจ์„ ๋ฐ›์•„๋“ค์ด๋ฉด์„œ๋„ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ ์˜ฌ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‚˜ ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํŠน์„ฑ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ์ตœ๊ทผ ์„ธ์ œ ๋ณ€๊ฒฝ์— ํŠนํžˆ ์ทจ์•ฝํ–ˆ๊ณ , ํŠนํžˆ ์ผ๋ถ€ ์ค‘๊ฒฌ ์—์ด์ „์‹œ๋“ค์ด ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ์ธก ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ๋“ค์˜ ํ•ฉ๋ฆฌ์ ์ธ ์ˆ˜์ต ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ๋ณดํ˜ธํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด 8์›”์— ์„ธ์ œ ๋ณ€๊ฒฝ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์€ ๊ทธ๋ฃน์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ์ •์ฑ…์„ ์กฐ์ •ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์กฐ์น˜๋กœ 9์›”์—๋Š” 7์›”๊ณผ 8์›” ๋Œ€๋น„ ์™„๋งŒํ•œ ๋งค์ถœ ํšŒ๋ณต์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋“ค์–ด ์„ธ์ œ ์ •์ฑ… ์กฐ์ •์ด ๊ณต์‹์ ์œผ๋กœ ์‹œํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์—์ด์ „์‹œ์˜ ์„ธ๋ฌด ์ปดํ”Œ๋ผ์ด์–ธ์Šค์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ทœ์ œ ๊ฐ๋…์ด ๊ฐ•ํ™”๋˜๋ฉด์„œ, ์ผ๋ถ€ ์—์ด์ „์‹œ์™€ ๋ฐฉ์†ก์ธ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ถ”๊ฐ€์ ์ธ ์••๋ฐ•์ด ๊ฐ€ํ•ด์ง€๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ํ™•์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ์‡„ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ์ธก๋ฉด์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ถ„๋ฐฐ ์ง€์›์„ ์ถ”๊ฐ€๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์–‘๋ณด๋กœ ์ธํ•ด 2025๋…„ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ๊ทธ๋ฃน์˜ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ (gross margin)์ด ์•ฝ 1~2%ํฌ์ธํŠธ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์ถœ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ๋Š” ๋‹น์ดˆ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ๊ตญ๋‚ด ๋งค์ถœ์˜ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ฐ์†Œํญ์ด ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ถ•์†Œ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‚˜ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ œ ์‹ค์ ๊ณผ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํ˜„์žฌ ์ „๋ง์„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋ณผ ๋•Œ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐœ์„ ์ด ์˜ˆ์ƒํ–ˆ๋˜ ์ˆ˜์ค€๋งŒํผ ์‹คํ˜„๋˜์ง€ ์•Š์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Chief Financial Officer: Okay. Outlook for 2026 for domestic business, Thomas, you're right that based on our Q4 guidance for the full year 2025, our domestic business, including both Momo and Tantan is on track for a low teens percentage decline versus 2024. At the beginning of 2025, we had expected that exit rate of year-over-year decline to narrow to somewhere around 10% or even slightly below 10%. That didn't happen because the tax scrutiny starting in Q3 had a meaningful negative impact on the supply side and therefore, on revenue as well. That headwind was concentrated in the second half of 2025. In our guidance, we assume that the domestic business is going to exit 2025 with a somewhere around 13% year-over-year decline. So, if you take that exit rate, apply normal seasonality and roll that forward throughout 2026, what you will likely see is this -- in the first half of 2026, domestic revenue will probably still show a similar mid- to low teens year-over-year decline. As we move into the second half of 2026, the year-over-year decline is likely to naturally narrow down. That's simply because the bulk of the negative tax-related impact hit the second half of 2025, creating an easier comp base for next year. So, that's the modeling perspective. But remember that what math gives you is always going to be influenced one way or another by realities. And here are three fundamental factors I can highlight for you to adjust your model accordingly based on how you think realities will unfold in 2026. The first factor is always going to be platform fundamentals. On that front, both Momo and Tantan are in a much better position today. Momo's paying user count, as you can see, after a prolonged period of decline stabilized and grew in Q3, we expect that trend to continue into Q4. Much of that is driven by the long-tail use cases we've added, including one-to-one video and audio chat. Tantan, after spending the last couple of years improving user experience is also moving in the right direction. So fundamentally, the platforms are solid, and this is not where we see major risk as we head into 2026. And then, comes the second important fundamental factor that you need to consider, which is macro and consumer sentiment. For domestic value-added service, the macro environment in China and overall consumer sentiment remain the biggest swing factors for us. If sentiment improves, we can outperform the seasonality-based model. If not, you would probably need to adjust estimates modestly downward. And the third factor, as always, is regulatory and taxation environment. Operating and product side regulations have been relatively stable for the past year. The near-term headwind is mostly concentrated on the taxation side. As we adjust payouts, agencies appear satisfied with the profit level they can retain on our platform. If that stability continues, we can be more constructive about the revenue trend in 2026. So, if you put everything altogether, if you take the Q4 2025 exit rate of roughly 13% decline for domestic business and layer in normal seasonality, you would probably arrive at roughly 10% decline for full year 2026. Then depending on macro growth, be it economic or regulatory, you would adjust that outlook up or down. That's what I can point to at this point about 2026.

Jiahui Wang: UBS Investment Bank, Research Division [Foreign Language] My question is regarding our overseas business. So, overseas revenue grew 69% year-over-year in the third quarter, ahead of management's previous guidance of 60% growth. So, could you please walk us through which part of business outperformed expectations? And for the fourth quarter, we are guiding a 70% year-over-year growth in overseas revenue. So could you please break down how much of this is driven by the organic business? And how much is driven by the consolidation impact from the newly acquired Happn? And given this trajectory, how do we expect overseas growth this year? Is there a chance -- is it less likely that overseas performance could fully offset the revenue decline in the domestic market?**Jiahui Wang:** ํ•ด์™ธ ์‚ฌ์—… ๊ด€๋ จ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํ•ด์™ธ ๋งค์ถœ์ด ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 69% ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๋ฉฐ ๊ฒฝ์˜์ง„์ด ์ œ์‹œํ–ˆ๋˜ 60% ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ์ƒํšŒํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ์š”. ์–ด๋А ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์ด ๊ธฐ๋Œ€์น˜๋ฅผ ์ดˆ๊ณผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ๋Š”์ง€ ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๊นŒ?

Yan Tang: Executive Chairman & CEO [Interpreted] Okay. So in Q3, the vast majority of incremental revenue comes from -- the overseas business comes from audio and video-based products in the MENA region and driven primarily by the two new apps, Amar and Yaahlan. Our core performance metrics for the overseas audio and video-based business is to be the ROI. So around midyear, as we increase the marketing spend, channel ROI began to decline. So in response, we deliberately scaled back marketing investment and plan to resume more spending only after media acquisition costs decrease or ARPU and gross margin improve. Accordingly, we also moderated our near-term revenue expectations for these audio and video products. During Q3, the local team successfully drove ARPU growth through continued product optimization and deeper supply side partnerships, while simultaneously lowering revenue sharing ratios. And these efforts led to a clear improvement in ROI, which in turn has allowed us to step up user acquisition investment again and resulting in accelerating growth momentum. And beyond the audio/video products in MENA, our overseas dating portfolio also delivered solid performance in Q3. Notably, following the brand repositioning led by the Singapore team, Tantan International has begun migrating users to its refreshed international version. The migration is progressing in line with our expectation and both revenue and profit has stabilized and returned to growth for the first time in nearly a year. And product features and UI designs tailored specifically for overseas Chinese users have laid a strong foundation for Tantan International to deepen its presence in Southeast Asia and other global markets. And furthermore, the AI-powered role playing dating app we launched in Japan a year ago has made significant revenue progress. And we accept this contribution to overseas revenue to grow steadily as we continue upgrading the AI model and the product matures. On the M&A front, we completed the acquisition of the branch dating brand, Happn, in September. And while its contribution to Q3 revenue was limited, it is expected to make a more meaningful impact on our Q4 overseas performance. As for growth outlook for next year, I will hand it over to Cathy for more details.**Yan Tang:** 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ํ•ด์™ธ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ์ฆ๋ถ„ ๋งค์ถœ ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์€ MENA ์ง€์—ญ์˜ ์˜ค๋””์˜ค ๋ฐ ๋น„๋””์˜ค ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์ œํ’ˆ์—์„œ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ฃผ๋กœ ๋‘ ๊ฐœ์˜ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์•ฑ์ธ Amar์™€ Yaahlan์ด ๊ฒฌ์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•ด์™ธ ์˜ค๋””์˜ค ๋ฐ ๋น„๋””์˜ค ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์„ฑ๊ณผ ์ง€ํ‘œ๋Š” ROI(ํˆฌ์ž์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ )์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ์ค‘์— ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ์ง€์ถœ์„ ๋Š˜๋ฆฌ๋ฉด์„œ ์ฑ„๋„ ROI๊ฐ€ ํ•˜๋ฝํ•˜๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์— ๋Œ€์‘ํ•˜์—ฌ ์˜๋„์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ถ•์†Œํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋ฏธ๋””์–ด ํš๋“ ๋น„์šฉ์ด ๊ฐ์†Œํ•˜๊ฑฐ๋‚˜ ARPU(์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋‹น ํ‰๊ท  ๋งค์ถœ)์™€ ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด ๊ฐœ์„ ๋œ ์ดํ›„์—๋งŒ ์ง€์ถœ์„ ์žฌ๊ฐœํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์˜ค๋””์˜ค ๋ฐ ๋น„๋””์˜ค ์ œํ’ˆ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋‹จ๊ธฐ ๋งค์ถœ ์ „๋ง๋„ ์กฐ์ •ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ํ˜„์ง€ ํŒ€์€ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ œํ’ˆ ์ตœ์ ํ™”์™€ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ์ธก๋ฉด์˜ ์‹ฌํ™”๋œ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ARPU ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋™์‹œ์— ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ๋น„์œจ๋„ ๋‚ฎ์ถœ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ๋“ค์€ ROI์˜ ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•œ ๊ฐœ์„ ์œผ๋กœ ์ด์–ด์กŒ๊ณ , ์ด๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ํ™•๋ณด ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ๋˜์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ทธ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์ด ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘๋™ยท๋ถ์•„ํ”„๋ฆฌ์นด ์ง€์—ญ์˜ ์˜ค๋””์˜ค/๋น„๋””์˜ค ์ œํ’ˆ ์™ธ์—๋„, ํ•ด์™ธ ๋ฐ์ดํŒ… ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค ์—ญ์‹œ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๊ฒฌ์กฐํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฑฐ๋‘์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ ์‹ฑ๊ฐ€ํฌ๋ฅด ํŒ€์ด ์ฃผ๋„ํ•œ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์žฌํฌ์ง€์…”๋‹์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, ํƒ„ํƒ„ ์ธํ„ฐ๋‚ด์…”๋„์€ ์ƒˆ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ๊ฐœํŽธ๋œ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋ฒ„์ „์œผ๋กœ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ๋งˆ์ด๊ทธ๋ ˆ์ด์…˜์„ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ด๊ทธ๋ ˆ์ด์…˜์€ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋Œ€๋กœ ์ˆœ์กฐ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋งค์ถœ๊ณผ ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ชจ๋‘ ์•ˆ์ •ํ™”๋˜์–ด ๊ฑฐ์˜ 1๋…„ ๋งŒ์— ์ฒ˜์Œ์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ธ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•ด์™ธ ์ค‘๊ตญ์ธ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•ด ํŠน๋ณ„ํžˆ ๋งž์ถคํ™”๋œ ์ œํ’ˆ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ๊ณผ UI ๋””์ž์ธ์€ ํƒ„ํƒ„ ์ธํ„ฐ๋‚ด์…”๋„์ด ๋™๋‚จ์•„์‹œ์•„ ๋ฐ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ์ž…์ง€๋ฅผ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ํƒ„ํƒ„ํ•œ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์„ ๋งˆ๋ จํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ 1๋…„ ์ „ ์ผ๋ณธ์—์„œ ์ถœ์‹œํ•œ AI ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ๋กคํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ž‰ ๋ฐ์ดํŒ… ์•ฑ์€ ๋งค์ถœ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์ง„์ „์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Chief Financial Officer: Sure. Let me take the more quantitative part of that question. As Tang Yan mentioned, our overseas portfolio today is fundamentally very different from what it was a year ago. Before getting into numbers, let me add a couple of quick points that investors may have overlooked. First thing I would like to call out is that our international growth strategy has become increasingly multi-pillar supported, both in terms of product mix and in terms of business model. From a product perspective, growth is no longer driven by one single engine. If you go back to the year 2024, the overseas business grew about 50% year-over-year and almost all of that came from SoulChill alone. In 2025, we are on track to grow somewhere around 70%. While SoulChill is still contributed meaningfully, another significant growth driver for 2025 has actually been the non-SoulChill brand. That piece grew close to 400% year-over-year in 2025, becoming a major pillar of our overseas business. And from a business model perspective, we are also diversifying. The overseas business is increasingly driven by the dating and membership-based model in developed markets, which include overseas Tantan, MiraiMind, which is our AI-powered dating app in Japan, Happn and some other quality dating brands. As we move deeper into 2026, we expect the overseas portfolio to rest on three -- almost three equally -- three roughly equal weighted pillars. One is SoulChill, the other is emerging social entertainment apps in developing markets. And the third pillar is going to be dating/membership brands in developed markets. Now turning specifically to your question about whether overseas growth can offset domestic declines. I would say that if you look at second half of 2025, at group level, we are seeing somewhere around 2% year-over-year decline. Were it not the tax scrutiny that hit the supply side hard, top line could have turned positive in Q4. At this time, I don't have enough visibility to make that call for 2026 yet. But here are some high-level thoughts about different pieces within our overseas portfolio. Looking ahead, SoulChill will likely continue to grow, though at a -- probably at a slower percentage rate as the base gets larger. That said, I would say that there is a meaningful upside variable, and that is our push into live streaming and into wealthier Gulf markets. Historically, our strength has been in Turkey and North Africa. Success in the Gulf region and in live streaming could meaningfully influence SoulChill's growth trajectory in 2026, potentially helping stabilize or even reaccelerate its growth rate. Non-SoulChill brands should continue to deliver very robust growth next year. Combined with the scaling of the dating/membership model, we expect these segments to become increasingly important contributors as we head towards 2026. And with that, back to Ashley for next question.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๋„ค, ์งˆ๋ฌธ์˜ ์ •๋Ÿ‰์ ์ธ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Yan Tang: Executive Chairman & CEO [Interpreted] Let me translate. Since the launch of our first LVS-based SoulChill product Momo in 2011, our company has transformed from the past 14 years from a single product company focused on DAU growth in China market into a diversified group with more than a dozen brands. These brands cover a wide range of niche markets and user segments, both domestically and internationally. In addition to organic development, acquisitions have been another key growth strategy since 2018. Whether through organic development or M&A, we have consistently stayed focused on our core strengths in the social and dating sector. And in recent years, as growth in the domestic market has slowed, we have shifted our strategic focus overseas to capture new growth drivers. And in less than 5 years, incremental revenue from overseas products has largely offset the decline in our domestic business. We do not have rigid criteria for M&A targets. However, looking at the acquisitions we have completed so far, they share several common characteristics. And firstly, we must fully understand and recognize the value of the product, the team and the business model, and we must be confident that the group's resources can help unlock greater potential. And second, we need strong confidence in that -- the target's ability to achieve a sustainable profitability. And third, of course, the valuation must be reasonable. Regarding post-acquisition management and the degree of our involvement, it varies on a case-by-case basis. If the original team is better positioned to run the business than we are, and we tend to delegate full authority to the local team while providing necessary support functions. And if the local team ever needs us to dive in deeper, we are more than happy to engage in hands-on daily management. So, overall, our level of engagement with acquired companies is tailored to the specific circumstances rather than following a one-size-fits-all rule. So, I hope we answered your question there.**Yan Tang:** 2011๋…„ ์ฒซ LVS ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์†Œ์šธ์น  ์ œํ’ˆ์ธ ๋ชจ๋ชจ๋ฅผ ์ถœ์‹œํ•œ ์ดํ›„, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํšŒ์‚ฌ๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ 14๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ค‘๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ DAU ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๋˜ ๋‹จ์ผ ์ œํ’ˆ ํšŒ์‚ฌ์—์„œ 12๊ฐœ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์œ ํ•œ ๋‹ค๊ฐํ™”๋œ ๊ทธ๋ฃน์œผ๋กœ ๋ณ€๋ชจํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์€ ๊ตญ๋‚ด์™ธ์—์„œ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ํ‹ˆ์ƒˆ ์‹œ์žฅ๊ณผ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ์„ธ๊ทธ๋จผํŠธ๋ฅผ ์•„์šฐ๋ฅด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž์ฒด ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ ์™ธ์—๋„ ์ธ์ˆ˜ํ•ฉ๋ณ‘(M&A)์€ 2018๋…„ ์ดํ›„ ๋˜ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ „๋žต์ด ๋˜์–ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž์ฒด ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ์ด๋“  M&A๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด์„œ๋“ , ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์†Œ์…œ ๋ฐ ๋ฐ์ดํŒ… ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์— ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ตœ๊ทผ ๋ช‡ ๋…„๊ฐ„ ๊ตญ๋‚ด ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์ด ๋‘”ํ™”๋จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋™๋ ฅ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ „๋žต์  ์ดˆ์ ์„ ํ•ด์™ธ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 5๋…„๋„ ์ฑ„ ๋˜์ง€ ์•Š์•„ ํ•ด์™ธ ์ œํ’ˆ์˜ ์ฆ๋ถ„ ๋งค์ถœ์ด ๊ตญ๋‚ด ์‚ฌ์—… ๊ฐ์†Œ๋ถ„์„ ์ƒ๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ถ„ ์ƒ์‡„ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Xueqing Zhang: China International Capital Corporation Limited, Research Division [Foreign Language] And my question is about the profit margin and shareholder returns. Management have previously mentioned that the fastest-growing overseas audio and video-based social business has a lower gross margin compared to domestic one. Additionally, Momo recently adjusted its revenue sharing ratio. So, how should we view the overall gross margin going forward? More than many of our overseas initiatives are still in the investment phase. So, does it impact, that your profit margin may further decline next year? And would this impact decisions regarding shareholder returns?**Xueqing Zhang:** [์ค‘๊ตญ์–ด ๋ฐœ์–ธ] ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ œ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์€ ์ด์ต๋ฅ ๊ณผ ์ฃผ์ฃผํ™˜์›์— ๊ด€ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒฝ์˜์ง„๊ป˜์„œ ์ด์ „์— ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ํ•ด์™ธ ์˜ค๋””์˜ค ๋ฐ ๋น„๋””์˜ค ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์†Œ์…œ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค์˜ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด ๊ตญ๋‚ด ์‚ฌ์—…์— ๋น„ํ•ด ๋‚ฎ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๋ฐ” ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ Momo๊ฐ€ ์ตœ๊ทผ ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ๋น„์œจ์„ ์กฐ์ •ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ ‡๋‹ค๋ฉด ํ–ฅํ›„ ์ „์ฒด ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์„ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ด์•ผ ํ• ๊นŒ์š”? ์ €ํฌ ํ•ด์™ธ ์‚ฌ์—…๋“ค ์ค‘ ์ƒ๋‹น์ˆ˜๊ฐ€ ์•„์ง ํˆฌ์ž ๋‹จ๊ณ„์— ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋‚ด๋…„์— ์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด ๋” ํ•˜๋ฝํ•  ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ์ด ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์ฃผ์ฃผํ™˜์› ๊ฒฐ์ •์— ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น ๊นŒ์š”?
Chief Financial Officer: Okay. Let me try to answer the margin and profitability question first. First, it's still a little bit too early to be very prescriptive about 2026 margins. Our portfolio today is more diversified than in prior years with products carrying very different margin profiles. But I can share a few directional points that should help frame expectations. Number one, on the domestic business, you are correct. Given what we saw in the second half of 2025, domestic gross margin will likely be down a couple of points. The exit rate is going to roll into 2026. On the operating expenses front, we do see room to further optimize so we can mitigate part of the pressure at the operating profit level. But with both revenue and gross margin trending lower, bottom line for domestic business will remain under downward pressure in 2026. Number two, for the overseas business, margins look different by product category. On a stand-alone basis, most overseas products are actually seeing stable or improving gross margins as they scale. The key factor is the mix. Social entertainment products carry lower margins due to payout and revenue share arrangements, while the subscription and dating business carry significantly higher gross margins with no payout component. As these categories grow at different speeds, mix will be a bit hard to pin down at this point. Given these moving pieces, the most practical approach now is perhaps to anchor on the Q4 2025 exit level, which based on our guidance should be about 36% to 37% adjusted gross margin. Some forces push it upward, some forces push it downward. We'll have clearer visibility after we complete our annual planning and can give you more specific color during our next earnings call. On the group level profitability outlook, it's true that we remain in an investment phase for our overseas business, but investment does not mean we are loosening our discipline. We continue to apply very strict ROI filters, and we will not pursue top line growth by sacrificing profitability. At this point, our expectation is that the overseas business will probably not be able to meaningfully offset the domestic profit pressure in 2026. But at the same time, it will not be a significant drag on the group bottom line either. So overall, we do expect some compression in profitability next year, but largely from domestic business, not really overseas business. And finally, regarding dividends and shareholder return expectations. Profitability for -- you're right that profitability for a particular year is a factor in determining our cash dividend, but it is not the only factor. Apart from that, we also evaluate some other stuff such as potential M&A requirements and strategic cash needs. The other thing is liquidity and repatriation capability from our onshore entities to the holding company. And then there is also -- there's always going to be the balance between cash dividends versus share repurchases consideration. All of these elements would go into the Board's decision-making process. We will provide more clarity after we finalize our annual plan. But the guiding principle remains unchanged, maintaining a disciplined balanced capital return framework while ensuring that we have the resources to invest in long-term growth. I guess that wraps up today's call. I'm handing over back to Ashley to close today's speech.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๋จผ์ € ๋งˆ์ง„๊ณผ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์— ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„ ๋งˆ์ง„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์•„์ง ์กฐ๊ธˆ ์ด๋ฅธ ๊ฐ์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์ €ํฌ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค๋Š” ๊ณผ๊ฑฐ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ๋‹ค๊ฐํ™”๋˜์–ด ์žˆ๊ณ , ์ œํ’ˆ๋งˆ๋‹ค ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ”„๋กœํŒŒ์ผ์ด ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ๋‹ค๋ฆ…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€์น˜๋ฅผ ์„ค์ •ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ๋„์›€์ด ๋  ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ๋ฐฉํ–ฅ์„ฑ์€ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
