This past quarter presented a more challenging operating environment than we have seen in recent periods, driven primarily by heightened regulatory uncertainty and a more cautious credit backdrop. While these factors weighed on parts of our business, we moved quickly to adjust our risk posture and protect asset quality. I am pleased to share that these actions have been effective. At the same time, our Internet insurance segment continued to deliver solid growth, reinforcing the resilience and diversification of our platform. As we look ahead, we remain focused on disciplined execution and positioning the company for the next generation of fintech with AI and blockchain. As part of our ongoing transformation, we continue to advance our agentic AI capabilities to enhance process efficiency and strengthen unit economics. These innovations are helping us offset the margin pressure associated with rising credit risk. Our agentic platform, MagicQ, is already demonstrating meaningful impact, improving sales conversion, elevating risk controls, and driving greater overall productivity. With that, let me walk you through the key business highlights for the quarter. First, turning to our financial services segment. We facilitated RMB 20.2 billion in loan origination during this quarter, up 51% year over year. Our repeat borrowing rate remained at a record high of 77%, in line with last quarter and 16 percentage points higher than a year ago. While the number of our total borrowers decreased by 11% to 1.3 million compared to the same period last year due to the tightening of credit policies, our total cumulative borrower base increased by 21% year on year to 14 million. We also continued to see healthy structural improvements across our borrower base. The average size for new loans from our lending platform rose from RMB 7,000 to RMB 10,100, driven by our ongoing shift towards higher…

Thank you, Ning. Hello, everyone. I will now walk you through our financial performance for the third quarter this year. Please refer to our earnings release and IR deck for further details, both available on our website. For the third quarter, total revenue grew by 5.1% year over year to RMB 1.55 billion, mainly attributable to 70% growth from the Financial Services segment. It was partially offset by the decline in revenue from the consumers and lifestyle segment, as we announced the mid-decommission of the business in 2024. In the Financial Services segment, total loan facilitation volume increased by 51% year over year. The increase was driven by growth in average loan ticket size, the growth of repeated borrowers, and an increase in loan referral revenue. The loans from repeat borrowers account for 77% of the total loan volume facilitated in the third quarter this year, up 16 percentage points compared to the same period last year. As the credit from repeated borrowers is more predictable, it allows us to extend the credit without substantially affecting our portfolio risk. The average size for new loans from our lending platform increased by 44% to RMB 10,100. Overall, the revenue from this segment increased by 70% year over year to RMB 1.4 billion in the third quarter. The revenue growth is driven by our loan guarantee services revenue, which reached RMB 1.4 billion in the third quarter, up nearly 2.4 times year over year, driven by higher loan facilitation under the risk-taking model. As our service revenue and loan facilitation from the risk-taking model increases, our provisions for contingency liability also increased by 68.8% year over year to RMB 460 million. But as the economic benefits of the guarantee services are recognized over the next few quarters, the total of guarantee liabilities…
