Dear investors and analysts, Fosun International, good morning. On behalf of Fosun International's management team, I will now report to you on Fosun's business results in 2025. In 2025, Fosun International made progress under pressure. The total revenue reached CNY 173.43 billion, down by 9.7% year-on-year, mainly due to declining yuan revenue and changes in consolidated scope. For the revenue from 4 core subsidiaries, it remained steady with CNY 128.24 billion, accounting for 74% of total group revenue, maintaining stable. We are seeing a highlight, the overseas revenue reached CNY 94.86 billion, accounting for 55% of total revenue, up by six percentage point year-on-year, demonstrating the group's solid progress in globalization.

The impairment of real estate accounts for about 55%, mainly from the loss of real estate project under Yuyuan and impairment provisions on real estate project held by the group. Another 45% comes from impairment of non-core assets due to changing consumer behavior, shifts in industry dynamics, and valuations of secondary market financial investment positions are affected by share price fluctuations. It's worth mentioning that the impairment is mainly non-cash impairment charges. It does not have an impact on the fundamentals of our core businesses and operations.
