Unknown Attendee: [AI Agent] Thank you for taking the time to join the Second Quarter 2026 Conference Call of SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated. I will now walk you through our results for the second quarter of 2026, and update on our business strategies and our capital and IR strategy. If I had to sum up this quarter in a single sentence, it is the quarter in which we completed the structural reforms we undertook in 2025, and SBC's growth entered a phase of reacceleration. On the back of an expanding business base and more sophisticated support functions, including AI, we delivered profit growth that outpaced revenue growth. Let me begin with the clinic highlights. As of the end of June 2026, our number of locations reached 287, up 34 year-on-year. And the annual number of customer visits over the trailing 12 months was 6.92 million, up 10%.

Even so, we absorbed it and still delivered strong revenue and operating income. The main driver was higher management services revenue, reflecting the expansion of the points business following the change in our operating policy in June 2025. A revision of certain service fees also contributed. Now to our strategy update. Our strategy is …
