Operator: Good morning, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by, and welcome to Here's Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note that today's event is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to Ms. Tina Tang, the company's Manager of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, ma'am. Tina Tang: Thank you. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Here's Earnings Call for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026. With us today are Mr. Peng Li, our Founder, Chairman and CEO; and Mr. Tim Xie, our CFO. Mr. Li will provide a business overview for the quarter, then Tim will discuss the financials in more detail. Following their prepared remarks, Mr. Li and Tim will be available for the Q&A session. I will translate for Mr. Li. You can refer to our quarterly financial results on our IR website at ir.heregroup.com. You can also access a replay of this call on our IR website when it becomes available a few hours after its conclusion. Before we continue, I would like to refer you to our safe harbor statement in our earnings press release, which also applies to this call as we will be making forward-looking statements. Please note that all numbers stated in the following management's prepared remarks are in RMB terms, and we will discuss non-GAAP measures today, which are more thoroughly explained and reconciled to the most comparable measures reported in our earnings release and filing with the SEC. I will now turn the call over to the CEO and Founder of Here, Mr. Li. Peng Li: Okay. Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. I'm very pleased to announce that we achieved about RMB 165 million in revenue this quarter. This exceeded the high end of our guidance. More importantly, we keep improving our IP and pop toy business. We are consistently optimizing our operations and cost structure to build a stronger foundation for long-term growth. As we all know, the first half of the year, especially the first 3 months, is typically a slow season for the pop toy industry. Beyond working with our channel partners and selling through our own direct channels, we stayed focused on our core strategy. That means building internal capabilities, developing IP-related products and content and optimizing our channels. The market environment remains challenging, but consumers' demand for emotional and experience-based spending persists. We build our IP products and services around what consumers actually need. Let me start with our IP performance. WAKUKU remains our flagship IP. It contributed RMB 102 million in revenue in Q3 or around 62.2% of total revenue. SIINONO's revenue grew 73.1% quarter-over-quarter, accounting for 20.2% of total revenue. SIINONO launched in the second half of 2025. In less than a year, it has reached a meaningful scale. This is an early validation of our ability to incubate new IPs. More importantly, we are seeing growing cross-IP engagement. WAKUKU users are connecting with SIINONO …

| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $358.7M | -7.0% | -36.2% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +81.5% | -4.7% | +11.3% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +14.6% | +46.5% | -23.8% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +13.2% | +29.6% | -44.5% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $27.8M | -90.0% | — |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +1.0% | -86.1% | — |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 4.3% | -66.6% | +38.2% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 2.14x | +39.9% | +8.8% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $1.7B | +16.5% | -6.7% |
