Thank you, Victoria, and hello, everyone. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we continue to operate with heightened discipline as the external environment became more demanding. Following a strong first half, we deliberately moderated activity in Q4 to remain aligned with evolving supervisory expectations and to prioritize credit quality and prudent risk management. During the quarter, we facilitated and originated RMB 22.77 billion in loans, representing a 29.5% decline year-over-year and a 32.3% decline sequentially from the previous quarter. This moderation was intentional, reflecting our focus on protecting portfolio health and maintaining long-term stability rather than pursuing near-term volume expansion. For the full year 2025, we facilitated and originated RMB 130.6 billion in loans, up 24.5% from RMB 104.9 billion in 2024. This full year performance reflects the scale we achieved earlier in the year and our ability to operate with discipline as market and regulatory conditions evolved. During the quarter, we focused on strengthening the stability of our core operations through disciplined channel management, tighter risk controls and continued efficiency improvements. We increased the proportion of activity on internal operated platforms to enhance customer stability and reduce dependence on higher-cost external traffic sources. We also further tightened underwriting standards, strengthened compliance processes, optimized operational workflows and expanded automation across services and collection functions to improve efficiency without increasing head count. From an operational standpoint, borrower activity moderated meaningfully in the fourth quarter. We served approximately 1.69 million active borrowers, down 20.2% from a year ago and down 30.7% sequentially. We facilitated approximately 2.47 million loans in the quarter with an average loan amount per transaction of RMB 9,226. We ended the quarter with RMB 50.5 billion in outstanding loan balance, down 3.6% from the same period of 2024. Credit quality. We did observe continued credit pressure during the quarter, consistent with broader market trends and a more cautious industry-wide risk posture. As of December 31, our 31- to 60-day delinquency rate increased to 2.9% compared with 1.85% at the end of Q3 and 1.17% a year ago. Our 91 to 180-days delinquency rate increased to 6.31% compared with 3.52% at the end of Q3 and 2.48% a year ago. These movements reflect rising repayment stress among certain segments as well as a more conservative approach to risk. In response, we tightened underwriting criteria, enhanced collection strategies and adjusted capital deployment to preserve balance sheet resilience. As credit costs increased, we chose to prioritize stability and risk management, which affected short-term earnings but strengthens the foundation of the business. We believe this more cautious stance is appropriate given current conditions. Our near-term priorities remain clear: safeguard portfolio quality, preserve liquidity and maintain discipline in operations. With that, I'll now turn the call to Noah, who will walk through key fourth quarter financial performance and the profitability trends, along with a brief regulatory update.

Thank you, Kent. Hello, everyone. It's great to speak with you again. Kent covered the operational and credit picture for the quarter, so I'll focus on the financial performance and our profitability profile in Q4. On the regulatory environment, the regulatory environment governing Internet-based lending in China continued to evolve meaningfully during 2025 with authorities increasingly refining and strengthening oversight across the entire consumer credit chain. The most significant development was Notice 9 issued by the National Financial Regulatory Administration on April 1, 2025, which requires commercial banks to strictly control total borrowing costs. While Notice 9 does not explicitly stipulate a hard cap, in practice, a 24% annum ceiling on total borrowing costs for a single loan is generally being implemented and enforced across the industry. Importantly, 24% may not represent the outer boundary of that pricing pressure. Regulatory authorities have continued to tighten borrowing cost caps applicable to microcredit and consumer finance companies, and those entities may face de facto requirements set below that level. The pace and manner of implementation across different institution types and jurisdictions remain highly uncertain, and we currently have no reliable basis on which to predict the ultimate scope or trajectory of these limitations. If current and emerging requirements are implemented as we currently understand them, our operating results will be adversely and materially affected relative to prior years. The magnitude of that impact is subject to significant uncertainty and investors should not assume our historical profitability levels are indicative of future performance, including the possibility of operating losses in future periods. Notice 9 also requires commercial bank head offices to implement white-list management systems for loan facilitation platform operators, prohibiting cooperation with institutions not on those lists. This has introduced additional uncertainty around our funding relationships and implementation practices vary across banking…

Thank you, Noah, and hello, everyone. I will walk through our full year financial results and then discuss our balance sheet, liquidity and outlook. The full year financial highlights.

Income from operations was RMB 1.63 billion or USD 233.1 million compared with RMB 1.87 billion in 2024. Our full year operation margin was 21.3% compared with 31.9% in the prior year, reflecting a higher credit-related provisions and a more cautious operation posture in the second half.
