| The shifting balance between the two models and the initiatives we have taken to improve operational efficiency, all contribute to the improvements of our profitability during the quarter |

| We are excited that expansion of our network coverage is unlocking new opportunities to reach and serve a broader user base |
| The increased scale coupled with an improvement to our profitability reflects that our commitment to our strategies in operational efficiency and POI expansion is effective and continues to be a driver for growth and improved profitability |
| This is one of the key reasons why we're able to continue attracting top-tier KAs within the industry, and through our service, consistently renew our contracts with them |
