In the first quarter of 2025, our high-quality revenue maintained a solid growth trend. AI capabilities have made substantial contributions to performance advertising and evergreen games, among other businesses. We have also increased our investment in new AI opportunities such as Yuanbao applications and AI within WeChat. We believe that during the investment phase of our AI strategy, the operational leverage brought by existing high-quality revenue will help absorb the additional costs generated by these AI-related investments, maintaining financial stability. We expect that these strategic AI investments will create value for users and society, and generate long-term, substantial incremental returns for us.
