Earnings Call: H1 2021

Aug 19, 2021

Speaker 1

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to welcome you to join us for the 2021 interim results release of Qingdae International. First of all, please allow me to introduce the management team with us today. They are: the Group Founder, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shushao Chun. We also have Executive Director, CFO, Mr.

Linbo and also Rotating President of Qingdee Software China, Mr. Zhang Zhong and the Rotating President of Qingdee Software, Mr. Sheng Tongfeng and also the GM of IR Department, Mr. Wu Chang. Now let's welcome our Executive Director and CFO, Mr.

Lin Feng, to provide you the brief introduction as well as the strategic development for the H1 of 2021. Thank you. Thanks for the moderator, distinguished investors and analysts, and my friends from the media, good morning. Now I'm going to walk you through the interim results, please. I think all the slides and the material has already been published on our website last night.

So I hope that you can also refer to those materials while listening to our presentation. Please go to Page 4 now. In H1 of 2021, the group revenue was up by 35% reached CNY1.87 billion. Compared with H1 of 20.90, the 2 year CAGR was 12.3%. But because of the cloud acquisition, it also helped to boost our revenue.

And you can see that the cloud service revenue was up by 55 percent. We reached CNY1.230 billion and the 2 year CAGR was 50%. ERP and other revenue grew by 7.7%. And also in last year, year of 2020, we also accelerated the cloud transformation. We strategically shut down the Keys and the Keys' 3 Wipes production line.

In 2019, you can see from the right side, both products contributed jointly speaking, dollars 31,310,000,000. But in 2020 and 2021, the case and the case 3 wise product no longer contribute that much to us. That's the reason we strategically shut down those production lines. Please go to Page 5. You can see that we stick to the route of the cloud transformation, and we have more revenue from the cloud service.

And it already increased from 57.5 percent of the cloud to the total ratio to 6.61%, and the growth is 55.1%. Please go to Slide 6. The company emphasized on the high quality subscription service and our subscription ARR. And by the 30th July 2021, it already reached RMB1.27 billion, up by 71.5 percent. But I'd like to emphasize our ARR, excluding the other services, is purely the subscription revenue.

Our target is that from 2021 to 2023, our ARR can reach a 50% growth. So H1 really showed us a very good scorecard. Please go to Page 7. You can see that in H1 of the year, the company made very intensive investment. The S and M was up by 22.3%, but our G and A was up by 7 9.7%.

And it's because that we made some very stringent regulations on S and M and the G and A. And generally speaking, S and M and the G and A still rising, but they accounted for less for the total expenditure. And we have an ever increasing R and D, and it already reached 74.3% growth and accounted for 33.4% of our total revenue. Later, I'm going to share with you why we have an ever increasing R and D expenses. Please go to Page 8.

You can see our R and D expenses was up by 17.71%, and it's very similar as the cash expenditure. And they can also clearly understand our investments in the R and D segment. The reason is because you know that we made more investment into the Cosmet and Constellation product R and D, but at the same time, our R and D capitalization rate was down regulated from 62% to 34%, same level as what has been achieved in 2020. And why we down regulate the R and D capitalization rate? The reason is because for the cloud product, it has a short period of the cost recovery.

So we believe by reducing the R and D capitalization rate, in that it can actually lead to an impact of R and D expenditure of RMB188 1,000,000, which means that the R and D expenditure up by 74%. Please go to Page 9. And you can see that in H1 of this year, the losses attributable to the parent company is already CNY24.08 million. So it seems that we're losing money, but actually, and we have 82% growth regarding the contract liability ratio. So even if we think that we have an extended contract losses, but still we have a very good cloud contract liability.

And in H2 of this year, we're going to see a healthy cash flow. And they're going to see for the whole year, we're going to have a positive cash flow. And we believe R and D expenditures are hitting the peak for this year. In the next few years, our cash flow is going to be more healthier. Please go to Page 10.

And Page 10 shows you the growth of the cloud contract liability. You can see that by H1 of 2021, it already reached CNY1.01 billion, up by 82.2%. Please go to Page 12. Now I'm going to introduce you the PingDi Cloud Cosmic and PingDi Cloud Constellation product. And you can see, Cosmic and Constellation signed a lot of major clients, including China Huan and Shaogang Group, Guangxi, Beifu, Gulf Investment Group, Zhengbeng Group, Harbin Pharmaceutical Group, Continental.

And we also newly signed 142 new customers and 105 off sale customers. The joint contract value is CNY 250,000,000. And especially for the new customer and per customer, the revenue is CNY 1,300,000. And the Vitality is still be well content. I think in the near future, we're going to further expand our customer mix.

Please go to Page 30. It is worth mentioning that in H1 of this year, we have already delivered the product to some of the sample clients, including Huawei HR and China Tobacco Industry Company, Hisense and SDIC. All those projects already entered into the 2nd phase of deployment. And currently, Kandi has already replacing complete or core global ERP system for over 70 customers. And we also heard some rumors in the market.

Me, along with Robert, to go to the Huawei project. And we believe Huawei project has been highly advanced, and we bring the trust and the recognition from the clients. I would like to say that it is truly a great value for us to invest in this project. And besides the balance sheet and actually, we build a lot of very valuable assets for the team who are truly very capable of building the best HR applications in the world, and I truly believe this is going to be beneficial for our long term development. So I can say that all the words on the slides has been carefully curated, and we ask for each of our companies to confirm all the information to make sure that all the data are objective and also be certified by our customer to make sure they are truly accurate.

So I'd like to mention to all the investors and media brands, and we always take a very prudent attitude on all the information we deliver to you. Now please go to Page 14. This is a cosmic and Constellation customer analysis. You can see that from the as deployment perspective, the hybrid cloud accounted for 56% and around 42.5% of the customer coming from the costly consolidation upsell customers. 23.9% comes from the ERP grade customer and 33.6% are coming from the new customers.

From the customer industry perspective, manufacturing, retail, wholesale and construction and retail estate are ranking top 3. Please go to Page 15. These are the 2 piles showing you the COSMIC and the Constellation subscription distributions. And you can see that, jointly speaking, the COSMIC platform and finance is still taking the major ratio, which means they are truly material products. But for this year, tax and manufacturing cloud started to make new contributions to the COSMIC and the Constellation subscription.

Please go to Page 16 and 17. On both slide, it shows us the COSMIC Pass portfolio and the Constellation SaaS portfolio. And we further make investment to accelerate the product R and D so as to cater the customer needs, especially for the domestic replacement trend. And for the COSMIC product, we mainly have the workflow cloud, integration service cloud, blockchain cloud, data service cloud, development service cloud and AI service cloud, where for Constellation product, it include finance, supply chain, manufacturing project, coordination office, marketing, HR and data analysis cloud. Please go to Page 18.

And I think many of the new investors or new analysts, I'd like to share with you what would be the difference between the Courtenay Pass and we were being regarded by Gartner as the high productivity pass. And while we are more close to the application end, which is different from all the parts suppliers in the market. Please go to Page 19. Page 19, we show you how the COSMIC platforms works with the major cloud players in the market. You can say that we truly work with the ad vendors as well as the information controllable supply chain, and we will be highly recognized and verified in this industry.

Now I'd like to introduce you the PingDi Cloud Galaxy product. Please go to Page 21. Galaxy product is the product facing the high growth enterprises. It has the most complete industrial solution and also a lot of example user cases. It's the most mature and reliable product we have, and it's already been rolled out in the market for quite a long time.

By H1 of this year, we have accumulated more than 23,000 customers. The dollar retention and the customer retention ratio are also very simple, represent 87% 84%, respectively. ARR was up by 57.7 percent. And also, the 35% revenue growth also shows how the subscription has been greatly improved. It actually helped to greatly contribute to the subscription contract liability and also the profitability of the Galaxy products also being greatly improved.

We are also happy to see that many of the high growth enterprises in China are now making breakthroughs. They are in the large size, high-tech and the manufacturing industry, for example, like Farm Block, Angel Align and Smart Tea and Sony Me as well as DAS Solar and ZET and Sony Precession Industry. They are also being a part of our customer list, and we're happy to serve them to make our due contribution to support their future growth. Please go to Slide 22. On the left side, we show you the customer subscription distribution of the customer of Galaxy.

You can see that almost all the customer use the finance. Around 50% of the customer use the supply chain module and the same as the manufacturing module. The ratio is taken up well regarding the industries and the steel and the service industry, manufacturing industry and the retail industry are the key. On the right side, it shows you the 2021 H1 new customer mix. And you can see that among all the new customers, around 22.4% are the on premise upgraded to cloud.

Now please go to Slide 23. And this slide shows you the Galaxy ZAS portfolio. Please go to Page 25. I'd like to share with you the KINDI Cloud Stata and the KINDI Cloud Shindou. And for Cloud Stata, once been no route in 2020, it received positive market response and already 5, Zetta, along with other industrial vendors, were now trying to build a small and micro tax and finance ecosystem.

Well, for Cloud Fingdou and currently, we have accumulated customer of 186,000 And the customer retention ratio is 77%, close to the level of 2020. And jointly speaking, for Zetta and Jindou, and both combined revenue grew by 54%. Please go to Page 26 to see the Zetta and the Qingdao SaaS portfolio. And they are actually focusing on the operation, finance, ecosystem and the data service. Now I would like to take you through the cloud market updates.

Please go to Slide 28. According to IDC's Chinese Enterprises Application Market Trends And the EA SaaS market in China in the next 5 years, the CAGR will be 31.7%. We're as a mainstream leader in this market. We are achieving and targeting a higher subscription growth. Please go to Page 29.

On Page 29, we show you that on the EA market, we made a lot of explorations. You can see that according to the slide, we are the only one that has been included into the partner's 2020 application platform software. And we are also the only Chinese vendor win IDC's 2020 Cloud SaaS Customer Satisfaction Award, ranking 1 in ERP SaaS customer satisfaction. And we are also the only Chinese enterprise software selected into Gartner's Cloud Market Guide for cloud ERP. And later, you are also going to see that the SaaS customer satisfaction is going to continuously to contribute to our business upgrading.

And now please go to Slide 31. I'm going to work you through our core strategies. And for the company, we stick to the platform plus the finance, HR, tax and ecosystem as our overarching strategy. You can see the yellow part or the word highlighted in yellow shows you that we have a relatively complete business system. We're on the left side for the blue highlighted area, and we're focusing on the finance, HR and tax.

Well, for ecosystem, we're working with our partners to promote the building of the ecosystem. Please go to Slide 32. You can see that in H1 of this year, and we also launched XuChao Chun's personal WeChat public account and we received 5,000 effective inquiries and we also received 240 customer appreciation letter. And the customer compliance decreased by 40% yoy And as I said, it received 5,000 effective inquiries, many of them are related to the service and the product. And this WeChat public account is also a way for us to reach our customer to further optimize our service and the product.

Please go to Page 33. And that's our guidance for the next 3 years. We would like to keep our original thinking, making sure that ARR's 3 year CAGR would be 50%. And in 2023, we're going to hit a target of RMB3 1,000,000,000 and leveraging subscription service of making another new Kansy. And for H1, we made a good scorecard.

And in H2, we're going to double our efforts. You can see that we're still very positive on the digital investment made by the enterprises and the replacement of domestic brand product. We're going to leverage Cosmic and Constellation product to work with a large company for the premier settings. And the Cloud Galaxy is still going to work for those high growth enterprises. Stellar and Cloud Jingle is going to serve SMEs to build the HR, finance and tax service.

That's the brief introduction about our performance. Right after Slide 35, we show you the specific financials, and I'm not going to elaborate on them 1 by 1. Now let's get into the Q and A session, please. Okay. Thank you.

Thanks for the management team. Thanks for the introduction. Now it's the time for the Q and A. Coming next, let's welcome the first question. The first question comes from Citi Securities.

Mr. Chen Hanbo, please. Okay. Management, good morning. I come from Citi Securities.

And I'd like to congratulate on your wonderful scorecard for H1 of Asia. I have two questions. My first question is that in the H1 of Asia, the ARR and the contract liabilities are performing very well, which also shows how robust the COSMIC platform is? And what's your strategy and especially the changes being made in order to better roll out the COSMIC product? And in the near future, when the COSMIC started to be more mature, whether we're going to see a turning point for the channel building and the product delivery for the COSMIC platform.

And now, thank you. Channel is something that Kandi attaches great importance to. For the past few years, we would like to leverage co build and co win at our strategy. So for the past few years, on channel perspective, we do more management with our partners and also make sure that we empower and train our distributors on the channel side. That's why we made a very good growth on the channel business.

And another point is that you can see that the COSMIC product and the contract value under RMB1 1,000,000 could actually be hand over to our channel distributors. That can make sure that our channel distributors has more power to solicit customers for us. And we worked with more than 20 universities and colleges in China of making sure that we trend the Thailand and to send them to our partner companies to improve their competency and in H1 of this year, the cosmic product. And you can say that many of our customers, they make breakthroughs on the product side, especially on the Galaxy side. And many of the projects could be done by our partners.

And for H1 of this year, and we will also work on the iXv product integration with KINDI product, which can truly help to further consolidate our solution in the Galaxy product delivery, which can provide a more diversified product portfolio for our vendor, which can truly help to cover more high growth enterprises by leveraging our Galaxy products. So you can say that jointly speaking, all of them are supporting our H1 growth. But for H2 of this year, we're going to continue the development and work and the cooperation with our channel partners to make sure that they can also see a sustained growth in the near future. My second question is regarding your Ka. You also set up your BT for the Ka.

So what's the strategy you have? And for the Ka BT, what is going to do in the near future? Thank you very much. Since last year on, you can see that in China, the digital key accounts, they are embracing the digital transformation trend, which is very robust since last year on. But you can see that from 2020 to H1 of 2021, and I think for the big enterprises, and they still have a difference on the product as well as the team they need.

So in order to make sure that we can cover as many as big enterprises to further improve our delivery capacity. So you can say that from our headquarter and from our frontline salespeople, we have a united team to work together. And you can say that for this year, and we're going to have our headquarters work with the sales teams, the licensing team and the subscription team and the services team. And in the near future, we're going to make sure that we target these markets to provide them the United service. In this way, we'll be able to better serve the big enterprises with unique demand.

And why should we set up the BG for the big enterprises? The reason is because we want to take our market share back. We make sure that we are the number one brand in the big customer market by having COSMIC and the Constellation product, and we're very also happy to make sure that the Chinese software could also be the main string choice for the Chinese big enterprises. Thank you. Thank you again.

Okay. Great. Thanks. And let's go to the second question coming from Huangpa Securities, Mr. Liu Xuefeng.

I have two questions. The first question, just now, as introduced, you mentioned that your R and D capitalization rate was reducing. The reason is because the cloud service, the cost could be recovered very quickly. But as you are providing the cloud service from the current kind of revenue perspective, it's not going to be as fast as what we were achieving and because customers, they pay for it on a yearly basis. So I was curious why should you further reduce the R and D capitalization rate, which lead to a financial losses for us?

And what's the reason behind that? Let me explain it in this way. In the past, and we use the current product and making the R and D of the next generation. But now, as you interpreted in your question, and even you will have a longer time for the product to the cost being recovered, But I can say that, generally speaking, we'd like to reduce R and D capitalization rate to make sure that it impacts our profitability in a rational level. And that's what we talked with the auditing team.

And you can see the R and D capitalization rate has already been kept at a very stable level. So can I say that my understanding that because of accounting rules in the past and the product were going to be reiterated every 3 to 5 years, But because of the cloud, it's being reiterated much faster? So that's the reason, and you can recover the cost more faster. And then you can help to reduce R and D capitalization rate. Yes, indeed.

My second question is that for the whole year, for your cloud service and for H1 of this year, the revenue growth was 55%. What's the guidance for H2? Would you like to share with us your insight, especially with the economic backdrop along with the market trend in the society? And what's your guidance of the cloud revenue growth for H2 of this year? What's the normal target and what would be the challenging target?

And especially for KorsLink and Constellation customer and how they are going to further improve the revenue from the customer side? Two very good questions. In the market, there are a lot of voices. You can see from the fundamentals. And also due to the COVID-nineteen, many of the targets is hard to be foreseen.

Some people are pragmatic and some people are quite positive. But the cloud digitalization or the digital transformation is always a must for majority of the companies. And yesterday, we had an independent chair who already said on the Board meeting, they attached its great importance to the digital transformation. So we believe that digital transformation is still going to be a good opportunity in this market. And the second one to answer your question is that what would be your op value for the COSMIC and Constellation product?

Why should I ask the question? Because from the industrial mass software for the specific utilization and their unit price is even higher than our value, dollars 1,300,000 per customer. So as a platform, I think you probably can further improve this value. Thank you. Thanks for the information shared by you.

And we don't see too much changes now, but we will keep an eye on it in H2F this year. We were also trying very hard to improve the value per customer. And you can say that if we don't have too much cost mix or consolidation customer and if there's any volatility happens, for example, we have more major projects or less small projects, that is also going to impact our value or the value per customer. But jointly speaking, we believe that the contract value is going to be up again in the near future for the COSMIC and the Constellation product to customers. Let's welcome Yuan Bi to raise the question.

Jianping is coming from Nomura. Congratulations on the management team for your very good service in the H1 this year. Your cloud revenue, ARR and the contract liability are also scored with a new 8. A same question from me regarding your growth guidance for H2 Avisia. It seems that you said you are not going to change your guidance for the whole year.

So would you mind to share with us for the COSMIC and the Constellation product? And what would be your specific growth guidance? And especially for this year, you started to launch the Constellation product as an independent brand. So would you like to share with us on the COSMIC platform and on Constellation? And what would be the for caustic growth, respectively?

And also whether the Galaxy product is going to still maintain a product iteration within 2 years, the CAGR would be 30% to 40%. Does the CAGR 2 year CAGR for Galaxy still going to be maintained at 30% to 40%. And my second question is regarding the Huawei Global HR Project. I saw it's already being launched in H1 of this year. Is it possible for the management team to further introduce this project?

And what are the response and feedback from the customer? How about the comments on the system performance as well as probably some other feedbacks from the customer? And more importantly, I'd like to know that do you have any next step plans whether you're going to further expand this product to more be used and whether you're going to further expand the application too. So now I think I'm going to have a rotating President, Mr. Chen Song Feng to answer the question regarding Huawei Global HR System first.

This February of this year, we launched Phase 1 of Huawei World HR Platforms, including the HR fundamental managers. And it's been launched for a few months, and we received very positive feedback from Huawei. And Huawei said that this product is beyond their expectations. And this helped to manage 200,000 Huawei staff covering 170 countries in the cities. And the customer experience is much better than other system applications.

This is the Phase 1 product. We are now we are also working with Huawei in doing the blueprint drawing for the Phase 2 product. And then next, we're going to execute the product. And then both sides is going to get into the system R and D. So you can see that here we have a smooth growth for this project.

And it seems that we and Huawei are also having a very good cooperation. Thank you. Just now you mentioned the first question regarding COSMIC platform and Constellation. You can see that COSMIC and Constellation has been separated as 2 different brands, but it's not for a very long time. So that's the reason we don't provide any guidance to the market by separating the brands.

And we're still going to provide you the data by the end of this year. Regarding the Galaxy product, the 2 year CAGR, is it going to still be 30% to 40% at the at the guidance? Yes, 30% to 40% at the guidance for the 2 year CAGR for Galaxy product. Okay, great. Let's welcome the next question.

Let's welcome Miao Qingjun from Tianfeng Securities. Please. The distinguished management team, good morning. I'm Madhongjun from Tianfeng Securities, and congratulations on your achievements. I have two questions.

The first question, as we can say that in the domestic replacement trend and KINDI has already become the 1st mover of covering the big key account or the super key account as a domestic ERP vendor. But I think this is an opportunity but also a challenge. How can we further improve the quality of cosmic and the consolidation product delivery? I think this is probably also a concern for the company. Do we have some kind of internal KPI to assessing the product delivery capacity, especially from the workflow from the team perspective?

What did you do in order to improve the delivery capacity for the COSMIC and Constellation product? Yes, product delivery is always key for our business. For this year, we started to do more work on project management and also have a requirement on the margin of the project. And we also have some KPI being set. So internally speaking, we have a lot of criteria in assessing the capacity.

But for the system perspective, especially from the commercial stage, we started to do the project management and also to well define the boundary of the project. So you can see that we have a project management department. This department is responsible for the PRM management and consultant management for the whole nationwide business. And we also have the product delivery service in supporting our project managers nationwide and also leveraging our ecosystem resources to support and to polish the project delivery capacity. And from this year on, we also started to work more on the project delivery.

You can see in recent days, we have are working with KPMG as well as China Software Group of making sure that we have more collaborations to further enhance our product delivery service. I think in the near future, there are going to be more vendors and more partners to work with us in order to further improve our high quality project delivery to the customer and then working together to make good contribution for the digital transformation for Chinese enterprises. Okay. Thank you. Thanks for the management team.

I think for KINDI product, especially COSMIC and the Constellation product, it's already been the leading product in the market if you further enhancing your quality of delivery that is going to consolidate your leadership again. My second question is regarding the Galaxy product. For the past 2 to 3 years, you're working on cosmic and the consolidation a lot. How can you make sure that you also have a dual resources allocation to the Galaxy product? Especially for the past 2 years, I see Galaxy product, they have a very stable ARP value.

And what your internal kind of progress on the crop sales of the Galaxy product? Thank you. Thanks. Actually, you know that we are intensifying our investment into COSMIC and Constellation, but it doesn't mean that we are shooting down on the investment of the Galaxy. And we're making more efforts in stabilizing the Galaxy product to optimize the performance.

Well, for the frontline salesperson, and we have a more direct sales and the cross sales capacity enhancement, especially empowering our customer. For the upsells, the value per customer is also being optimized, especially for our existing customer. We hope that they we can also make sure that we further improve the value per customer. Customer. And this is a general trend we have.

You mentioned about the CRM HR module and along with other specified module, and for example, Xirengishi based module. And this can help our Galaxy client to have a better application and widen their application portfolio. In this way, the value per customer is going to be further optimized. I have one more comment on this question. You also mentioned that we set up the big enterprises BG or the KABG, and that is responsible in up to coordinating the sales and marketing work for the enterprises with 10,000,000,000 values.

And we also made clear defying over the big enterprises and the middle size enterprises. In this way, we can do targeted and pre session marketing for the cosmic constellation product and Galaxy product. In this way, we can have the dedicated team and the resources to be invested in different customers. Thank you. Thanks for the management team.

That's all for my question. Thank you. Okay. Great. Let's welcome the next question.

Lydia from Fuei Securities. Management team, good morning. I have two questions. My first question is regard the Postmaker constellation, the direct sales and product delivery. And what's the ratio would you like to share with us?

And how you also deliver the product through a partner? And I think if you're working with a partner of selling the COSMIC and the Constellation, it's to some extent will further improve its margin. But you can see that in H2 of this year, that won't help to improve our GP margin as a whole. What's the reason? Thank you.

Hello? Let me repeat your question again. And the COSMIC and Constellation products, when we work with our partners for the project delivery, you believe it's going to dilute our GP margin, right? Let me repeat my question in this way. I think once you work with the partners, it should help to optimize your GP margin and reduce your cost.

Should I say so? Yes, indeed. Yes, such situation may happen. But you can see for the COSMIC and Constellation products, we are not having too much of the products being signed through the partner. So it doesn't have too much impact on our GP margin now.

So when are we going to see how the cost make and the consolidations be impacted by having the partners to help to deliver the product? I think it's going to be a long term day. You probably need to wait until next year, the year of 2022 to see the results. We need to train our partners to make sure and they also have enough business models. That cannot be done overnight.

So you at least need to wait for next year, year of 2022. Let me say a few words. According to our road map, we are still sticking to the roadway draw for ourselves. But for COSMIC and the Constellation product, we also trend our capacity of delivering product. It really takes time for us to trend in our partners.

But in the near future, working with the partner to deliver the product would be the overarching strategies we have. We're still going to very actively promote this part, but it will also involve the organizational changes for our company if we go for this model. It's going to have some positive impact to us in H2 of 2022. My second question is regarding your R and D expenditure. And it seems that you have a lot of cash expenditures on R and D.

And whether the what are the R and Ds being made? Does it mean that you have more modules for the cosmic and the consolidation product? Or do you have more scenarios recovered? And when the R and D expenditures would hit its peak? This is a very specific question.

And I think for this year, and it's already reaching the peak for the R and D expenditures because we made a lot of investment for the past 2 years. But at the same time, we're also driving up ourselves to make sure that the R and D to the revenue ratio can be rationalized. While regarding where does the investments be made, I think we are making more expansions on the mortgages and also expanding the scenarios. So that's why we made a heavy R and D investment on the Constellation product. Thank you.

Well understood. Thanks. I have one more point to share with you. And for the Constellation product in the past, it's only focused on finance, but now it's also covering tax, manufacturing and the HR platform. Constellation already needs time to further expand its scenario, but you can see as it's covering more scenarios, and it's also needed to make sure that it has the scenario specifically been covered.

Thank you. Thanks for the management team. Now let's welcome the next question, comes from Mafi from Citibank. Please. Good morning.

My name is Mark Li from Citibank. Congratulations on your achievement. My first question is that for COSMIC Consolidation product And regarding the retention rate, would you like to share the specific number with us?

I'd like to thank you. Thanks for the investors. Thanks for supporting KINDI for such a long term. You say that the Chinese economy is starting to the high quality growth period. And we're leveraging the digital solution of improving the work efficiency for each enterprises.

This is already the mainstream trend in China. Where on the other side, because of the technical frictions between China and the U. S, many of the big enterprises in China are trying to adopt more Chinese software solutions. Well, for Kenji, after 28 years development, we have already have a very robust technical portfolio, especially in recent years, we did the R and D and the rollout of the COSMIC and Constellation product. And to some extent, we can already compete with international software vendors.

Domestic replacement trend means that you have to have the product that can benchmark with the international peers. In this way, we can serve the Chinese customer better. Well, for Kingdee and the way we're still trying to further improve our sales performance, You can see that we have more than 20 years of cloud service experience, and we also learned from someone else. Well, for Kindi, we emphasized the product in China. And we also hope that the COSMIC and the Constellation product is not only for China market but also the world market.

What we're going to take is not only the market share but also the confidence of the Chinese software from the Chinese customers. The H1 statistics shows us that in the SME market, KINDI, they outperformed international peers. For consecutively 7 years, 70 years, we have been ranking as the number one market shareholder in the SME market reported by IDC. And you can see that some big client, for example, like Huawei Global HR System, China Tobacco Union Industrial Company, Hisense and the SPIC. And by introducing the COSMIC and the competition product to those customers, we have every confidence to believe in the next 2 to 3 years, we're also going to be a number one brand for the large sized enterprises.

Since 20 4, we started to roll out our cloud journey, and we experienced the ups and the downs. From this year on, we also got into the cloud transformation period. We will try our best to stick to the customer centric approach and also to deliver our professional service and product.
