Hi, it's David Gibson from MST Financial. Thanks very much for your time and the questions. Two questions. Could you talk about depreciation? It went down sequentially. Could you explain why that was? And then what does that mean for what you see depreciation charge in the second quarter? The second question is on actually the average age. It looks to be 33.3 years, down from 34.9. I think the biggest and the lowest it's been in about 4 years. Could you talk about the driver of that fall in the average age of a user base, and do you think that's sustainable going forward? Thank you.

Hello, thank you. Another question on shipping. Just want to understand if this is the right way to think about it. Your volumes were up 4% and your shipping cost is up 6.9%. So it seems like you paying about the 3% more to Yamato. Is that the right way to understand this? And, I think you said this is an annual contract. So when would you be negotiating the next shipping contract? And do you think it will continue to go up something like this or higher or lower? Thank you.
