| This also is a once-in-a-decade opportunity for us in our view |
| Asset management continues to contribute high growth to our revenues, mainly due to increases in assets under management AUM |
| We maintained our leadership in EAM in Hong Kong, where client AUM increased by 72% to $1.0 billion |
| And lastly, Madam Wang's view is that the fact that we were able to command a higher average price in this segment demonstrates that there indeed is a strong demand within the high-net-worth population for higher-end services in medical examination as well as in health management |
| These products characterized by their strong resilience during a time of volatilities and uncertainties offer our clients stable returns and the ability to withstand market cycles |
| Meanwhile, our health management business has now emerged as a second growth driver and demonstrated rapid growth in its inaugural year, generating net revenues of nearly RMB90 million, which is more than 20 times year-on-year growth |
| And we're proud of our client stickiness as our clients stayed with us during the market downturns, as demonstrated in our client repeat investment rate at 82% this year |
| And I think these actions from the top will help restore confidence in the economy |
| These strategic initiatives serve both as new growth catalysts as well as performance stabilizers, particularly during cyclical market downturns |
| On the other hand, our insurance business made great advances, achieving a remarkable 262% year-on-year growth and the transaction value of international insurance products reaching RMB460 million |
| Digitizing our operations and processes has helped us become more agile organization, reducing operating efficiencies and promoting scientific data-driven decision-making across the firm |
| And transaction execution now takes three minutes instead of previously one day, thereby greatly enhancing our efficiency for institutional clients |
| Our strong business performance in traditional wealth management products served as a foundation while we actively developed new avenues and new ventures to drive growth and diversify our revenues |
| We achieved steady revenue growth |
| Their strong trust in our relationship managers and their strong loyalty to our investment platform even in the face of market challenges |
| Moreover, our dedicated fund trading platform Invest Path is specialized for institutional clients, which improves trading efficiency and ensuring high-quality execution experience |
| The resilience of our performance this year once again give us the confidence to grow and position ourselves for future market cycles and market opportunities |
| This innovative and proprietary product series, once again, demonstrated Hywin's expertise in product R&D and risk management and help us enhance the profitability, countercyclicality and stickiness of our client AUM |
| The success of Hywin's asset management business in an international market that is dominated by global incumbents is the strong endorsement of our investment management expertise and product know-how |
| We're therefore unique in the sense that we have very strong offerings, both domestically as well as in Hong Kong, and we'll continue to do so in serving our clients onshore as well as offshore wealth management needs |
| But at the same time, we are very fortunate that we have built a very strong international operation today based in Hong Kong |
| The high standards set by Hywin's EAM business can also act as a catalyst and in turn, help us coach the advisory skills and client servicing skills of all of Hywin's relationship managers |
| We stay optimistic about Hywin's future, just as we are excited with the enormous potential of China's wealth management industry going forward |
| We believe our strong cash flow generation, together with our strong balance sheet has provided us with significant opportunities for further growth and further value creation going forward |
| Hywin Health revenue grew rapidly this year as we focused on integration and capacity ramp-up post acquisitions this year |
| We have successfully expanded our reach to cover 91 cities, key cities with a robust network of 185 world servicing centers reflecting sustained growth from the previous year |
| Hywin International's EAM, external asset management, business model is the flagship product of our asset management segment and has achieved exceptional success with AUM reaching $1 billion in fiscal year 2023, representing a year-on-year growth of 72.6% |
| The year-on-year growth was primarily driven by strong sales performance of other financial products, which increased to more than threefold to RMB302.1 million, mainly attributed to surging insurance demand post-COVID |
| Our health business is starting to play an increasing role for expanding our client trust and loyalty in us and providing clients with more comprehensive services across their full life cycle |
| These platforms enhance our asset allocation consultation, risk management and client processes |

| Reported net income for the full fiscal year was RMB100.3 million, down 49% |
| [Foreign Language] In the wealth management segment, during fiscal year 2023, the domestic financial market faced challenges from both the supply side where asset quality and asset performance was weak as well as on the demand side where investor sentiment was soft |
| NAV-based products also declined as a result of weak overall Chinese equities markets |
| Our income from operations for the full year was RMB197.4 million, down 39% |
| However, while there are significant post-COVID rebounds in many areas, the overall markets in China have remained in fact, grappling with ongoing volatilities and uncertainties, and a muted investment sentiment overall |
| On the private, secondaries or mutual fund products, we were -- in this past year, we were cautious, right, given the ongoing market volatilities and market conditions |
| In the six months ended June 30, 2023, our total net revenues were RMB1.1 billion, down 0.5% |
| Overall, the transaction value in the wealth management product in the wealth management segment totaled RMB72.6 billion, a 9% year-on-year decline, amongst which asset-backed products accounted for RMB66.6 billion, representing a 5.8% year-on-year decrease as we were more selective with our products in this period |
| Revenue from private market investment products declined by 10.4% to RMB1.6 billion, while revenue from public market investment products increased by 45% to RMB20.5 million |
| In addition, there was increasing competition from US dollar assets given high interest rate differentials |
| Hywin Health segment revenue and net losses for the full fiscal year was RMB87.8 million and minus RMB112.8 million, respectively |
| We also reduced the supply of our traditional asset-backed wealth management products during this period as we were more selective on the credit quality of fixed income products |
| Our view is that the recent dislocations in the real estate industry is actually a necessary process and a part of the sector's overall deleveraging process |
| [Foreign Language] During this past fiscal year, both the global and the Chinese economies have shifted from a tumultuous pandemic period towards a phase of moderate recovery |
| So we did see some market shares as well as investor sentiment and appetite changed in the past year, as you pointed out |
