Thank you, Joyce. Welcome everyone and thank you for joining us today to discuss our third quarter 2018 results. I’m pleased to report another strong quarter in which revenue, excluding direct sales increased 35% year-over-year to RMB1.89 billion, which outpaced overall market growth despite the relatively softer macroeconomic environment in China.

Please allow me to start with a quick review of our successful and ongoing 4+1 strategy which is to transform Autohome from a content led vertical media platform to an automotive eco-platform based on the data and technology.

As data and technology is the core infrastructure, over the past few years, we have made aggressive investments spanning a wide scope of hardware, software and talent in order to aggregate vast amount of data from the entire ownership cycle and to seamlessly link and integrate these data from all of our business result units with more adverse eco-driven.

As a result, we innovated a highly precise segmentation in terms of user, value, need and behavior, we call UVNB model. Thus, substantially enhanced the intelligent recommendation based on people like ply [ph] behavior profiles and next best action, NBA decision making.

These adverse data capabilities enabled us to commercialize a series of successful data solutions for OEMs and dealers like [indiscernible].

Currently, we have started to further monetize our data capabilities with the development of intelligent total marketing solution based on the UVNB model, capable of differentiated advantages in accurate user segmentation, dynamic customization, decision outreach, efficient delivery and consistent performance.

As a strong testament, we have completed eight projects for OEMs which have all been very successful. For example, one of these OEMs has significantly increased conversion at each stages throughout the online sales funnel, of which the followers increased by 192%. The interest to the users increased by 36%.

Users with the purchase intention increased by 80% and the final conversion from lease to transaction increased by 39%. We now have 11 OEMs partnering with our intelligent marketing solutions.

We are confident that our intelligent total marketing solution will provide unparalleled value of all of our enterprise partners therefore increase our overall revenue stream in the future. Aside from that technology, two key factors have also been essential in driving our execution over the past year.

Number one, first and the foremost, our high performance digital content platforms is the largest in automotive industry. It consists of immersive originally, professionally and user generated content as well as a highly engaged and interactive community with an expansive library and listing information.

A few notable content milestones from 2018 include, one, aggregating over 10,000 renowned PGC contributors. Two, successfully launching automotive energy and used channels with over 1 million DAUs respectively and three, proactively converging [indiscernible] with over 87,000 groups nationwide.

All of these efforts have resulted in consistent traffic expansion with DAUs, setting out mobile websites and primary app, increasing 48% year-over-year. In addition, revenue from mobile advertising increased 40% compared to the same period last year, representing 57% of our media service revenue.

As the next step, we plan to continue expanding our leading content platform with an AI enabled content generation tool to further facilitate dynamic content customization based on user preference.

Number two, the other factor is our talent, versatile and hardworking professional employees with diverse background predominantly across the internet, media, automotive, financing, data and technology industries.

Our team work closely together to capture the opportunities that have helped build and grow this incredible company for more than a decade.

Our best-in-class professionals set the high standard culture within Autohome in which we can envision a clear long term strategy, with strong execution and core value is aspiring Autohome to better serve our enterprise clients, consumers and shareholders. Now, please let me provide some highlights about our business operations.

In addition to the media business performance for which I just provided an update, our paying dealers have continued to increase to over 26,000 as of the end of third quarter 2018 with a substantial lead volume growth of 27%.

This growth is primarily due to one, our relentless focus on optimizing overall leads operation for higher conversion rates and two, our efforts to empower dealer clients to better digitize the operations with intelligent recommendation, tailored showroom displays and personalized experience to acquire, engage and retain the users.

For auto financing business, we facilitate RMB4.2 billion in loans and insurance in the third quarter, representing approximately 41% sequential increase.

As for our used car C2B2C platform, as of October the 31, our merchant loan products issued cumulatively created line of over RMB5.5 billion, which was granted to more than 2300 select offline used car dealers.

For data service, besides the total intelligent marketing solution I just mentioned, as of October, over 30 OEMs and over 8000 dealers have used our data products.

In conclusion, we have entered a new next phase of strategic initiative focusing on transforming Autohome into an intelligence connected automotive ecosystem with AI, big data and cloud, we call ABC in order to further enable our users and clients for closed loop transactions.

Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage our unique strength in traffic, lead, content and data to one, drive the convergence of social content data and technology, two, further advance our user engagement, and three, better serve auto makers and dealers.

With that, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Jun Zou, for closer look at our third quarter 2018 financial results and business outlook..

Thank you, Min. Hi, everyone. As Min has already highlighted, we are very excited to report another solid quarter. Please note that as with the prior calls, I will reference RMB only in my discussion today. Net revenue for the third quarter was 1.89 billion, representing a 35% year-over-year increase, excluding direct sales.

Of which media services revenue once again outperformed the underlying auto sector, increasing 20% year over year to 901 million. Despite perceived headwind in the physical auto market, Autohome continued to be auto makers’ partners of choice and continues to gain further share from their budgets.

Lead generation service revenue increased 20% year-over-year to 739 million, primarily driven by ARPU increase and expanded dealer client base, which is a strong evidence that we continue to build confidence among dealers. Online marketplace and other revenue increased by 620% annually to 248 million.

Excluding direct sales, a significant part of this revenue increase was generated from auto financing and data solutions, so we are very pleased with increasing market demand from these new initiatives. Moving on to costs, the cost of revenue decreased slightly by 3% year over year, to 215 million.

If excluding the cost of direct sales from third quarter of 2017, the cost of revenue would have increased by 4%. Now, for operating expenses. Sales and marketing expenses in the third quarter were 677 million, compared to 422 million in Q3 of 2017, mainly because of increased costs in offline execution and branding expenses.

Product development expenses were 297 million compared to 207 million in Q3 of last year. Again, this reflects our commitment to technology advancement at our professional talent. Finally, general and administrative expenses were 100 million compared to 87 million in Q3 of last year.

Overall, we delivered an operating profit of 698 million, representing a significant increase of 32% year over year. Additionally, adjusted net income attributable to Autohome Inc. was up 55% year over year to 737 million.

This increase was primarily the result of consistent top line growth, streamlined operational efficiency and effective cost control while simultaneously supporting the success of our new initiatives.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share per ADS for the third quarter were RMB6.26 and RMB6.18 respectively, compared to RMB4.07 and RMB4.01 respectively in the corresponding period of last year. As of September 30, 2018, our balance sheet remained very strong with cash, cash equivalents and short term investments over 8.3 billion.

We generated operating cash flow of 641 million in the third quarter of 2018. Let me now address our fourth quarter 2018 outlook, which reflects our current and preliminary view of the marketing operating conditions that may be subject to changes. At this point, we expect to generate net revenue in the range of RMB2.11 billion to RMB2.13 million.

This will exclude impact from our direct sales business. This represents a 32% to 33.3% year over year growth rate. In summary, we’re very pleased with our year-to-date performance thus far, with significant growth across our core business lines and the satisfactory progress of our new initiatives.

As we look forward, with continued cost discipline and new business development, we expect the new initiatives, including data, financing transaction will become equally considered as our core media and lead generation facilities in driving our future development. Thank you. And with that, we’re ready to take your questions..

[Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from CICC by Liping. Your line is now open..

So I have one question related to the industry and your co-business. So with another new car sales data released in October, actually, [indiscernible] next year’s industry growth.

So what’s the management view on that? And how will be our co-business growth momentum? And in addition, I’d like to know what will be the growth, what will have the most growth potential in our new business initiatives. Thank you..

[Foreign Language] So let me answer the question in Chinese. [Foreign Language] Well, if you look at this year, on the latter half of this year, for a few months, we do see an active growth for the auto car market. [Foreign Language] This is very closely tied to the macroeconomy.

[Foreign Language] So that is why for next year, we do believe that we are quite prudent in terms of outlook of the auto market next year. [Foreign Language] We foresee that it would be quite difficult for the market to grow as robustly as a few years back without stimulus policy and stimulus supported policies addresses this market.

[Foreign Language] However, for Autohome, we’re still very confident in our development. [Foreign Language] Well, I would like to elaborate more on two angles. One is from our internal objectives and other is from the OEMs. [Foreign Language] We’re going to continue to increase our wallet share.

[Foreign Language] If you look at the number of the leads we generated for the latter half of the year, it’s increasing. [Foreign Language] And also, we’re very happy to take the feedback from the OEMs. They are telling me that the conversion rate from the leads to sales doubles the market average.

[Foreign Language] So under such above measurement scenario, we believe our market share will continue, our wallet share will continue to increase. [Foreign Language] And secondly, we just launched our smart marketing campaigns.

[Foreign Language] Just two days ago, in the Wuzhen city of China that hosted the International Internet Conference and we held a sub-conference, we discussed to a lot of OEMs. [Foreign Language] In terms of this smart or intelligent marketing, we already completed 8 campaigns and we’re going to receive 3 more. Our total will be 11.

[Foreign Language] For each of the campaign, it lasted for two months. [Foreign Language] I firmly believe that next year, we’re going to add more of such campaigns next year. [Foreign Language] Always new campaigns and projects will go into bring new revenue to the company.

[Foreign Language] Another traditional business, which is we generate a lot of leads on the used car business and the number of leads for used cars sales are increasing and next year, we will foresee this momentum would carry on and this would not be affected with softer new car sales market.

[Foreign Language] So always from an internal angle, next I want to elaborate more on the OEMs angle. [Foreign Language] We understand the current downward shift of sales in the auto market is a big pain point for the OEMs.

[Foreign Language] So we believe that the smart OEMs, they would have a better control over how much they’re investing in the branding. [Foreign Language] That will be the long term investment in the branding.

[Foreign Language] That is for the long term and currently the sales down is for the short term, so that’s why they would not bring down the budget for the short run. [Foreign Language] And what we get allocated are the short term marketing budget.

[Foreign Language] And our OEMs, they are very clear of how to put the short term dollar money in which budget. [Foreign Language] We have come up with a formula which is a total number of leads multiplied by the conversion rate. [Foreign Language] Who can maximize this number would get the maximized dollar in terms of marketing money.

[Foreign Language] According to the feedback from the OEMs, we generated about 50% to 60% of the total leads that we received. [Foreign Language] And also as we mentioned, our conversion rate doubles the market average.

[Foreign Language] With such a high number of leads generated and high conversion rates, we don’t see that the OEMs will decrease their marketing dollars on us. [Foreign Language] So in terms of our internal data and the OEM’s feedback, we are very confident we will continue to grow.

[Foreign Language] Now, let me answer your second question which was about new business. [Foreign Language] As we said, our traditional business including the media business and the leads generating business, they would continue to grow, but the growth rate may decelerate.

[Foreign Language] When the macro-economy is so soft, you cannot expect us to grow as robustly as a few years back. [Foreign Language] But we want to make sure it will continue to grow. [Foreign Language] So to achieve a sustainable growth rate, the new business still matters for us.

[Foreign Language] In terms of the new business, for example the data business and the finance business, it will account more than 10% of our total revenue. [Foreign Language] And we hope that these two businesses will continue to grow in an even bigger share in the total revenue in next two to three years.

[Foreign Language] So we will continue to push forward these two businesses and this is only the first year as a starting point for this new business and next year, we would wish to further grow these two businesses.

[Foreign Language] And the next year, we are going to launch our fixed business lines, although we understand it would be quite difficult but we will try our best to launch this new business, which is our trading business.

[Foreign Language] The trade business is also a light asset business, which would be very different from the traditional e-commerce business, which we have to put the money down and buy in and resell and this is a light asset trading model.

[Foreign Language] Now, we are negotiating with OEMs to discuss the possibility of launching the CPS model, the cost per sales model. [Foreign Language] Next, we are going to launch two lines. One is a collaboration with the 4x dealership stores.

[Foreign Language] And the second way is we will get into the lower cities and also put it as an Internet based business. [Foreign Language] And that is the traditional OEMs business. Next, I also want to touch upon the EV cars, the electronic vehicle cars.

[Foreign Language] The EV car OEMs that don’t have existing channels for distribution, so that’s why they don’t have any burden to collaborate with us. [Foreign Language] And the third one is, we would create a closed cycle for the transaction of the used car business.

[Foreign Language] We have talked to the dealership network which already have more than 500 members. Towards the end of this year, we are going to grow the membership into 1000 dealers. [Foreign Language] So we will try our best to launch our new business and explore more in the future.

[Foreign Language] Our goal is to grow the traditional business in the moderate growth level and also set up all the new businesses. [Foreign Language] Okay. That’s all for the answer. Thank you very much..

[Operator Instructions] Your next question comes from Eddy from Morgan Stanley..

[Foreign Language] My first question is about the transaction business development and you mentioned last week in the Open Day that it will accelerate the transaction business development, especially on the back of intelligent market. And second question is about the lead generation and media service, the core business.

Is there any preliminary view regarding the ASP lift of the lead generation package to dealers as well as the OEMs, the budget for next year..

[Foreign Language] Thank you, Eddy for the question. Now, let me take this question. Talking about CPUV and CPS, I already elaborated on the CPS model before. [Foreign Language] So the CPS business, this is real transaction business or trading business. [Foreign Language] For the CPUV, actually, it’s based on the OEM’s request.

We actually would count the single unified lead generated may be multiple person. We will count the people who invest in the store and consider them as single leads, it’s like a combined leads.

[Foreign Language] So based on the already existing eight project and the coming three projects, altogether 11 projects, we all charge OEMs based on the CPUV model, the unique visitor redundancy model. [Foreign Language] So this is actually a new element added to the existing business model of our [indiscernible].

[Foreign Language] So this business, the revenue would be booked under the traditional business. [Foreign Language] However, this business not only contributes to the traditional business revenue, but also bring up a lot of new business, like the data business.

[Foreign Language] As I said, during the opening day, with that, the OEMs do need the clear data on each steps for the smart market intelligence to bring one of the leads for them and for each of the steps that would have a precise targeting of the customer.

[Foreign Language] Because the CPUV model is already proven to be successful, so next year, we are going to massively roll it out with all our strategic partners. [Foreign Language] For the CPS, we would create them as the online order.

[Foreign Language] For the users, after they place orders, they have to put some down payment or security payment and this is not refundable. [Foreign Language] In this way, with the down payment or security deposits, the OEMs can lock in such customer already online.

[Foreign Language] This is a very critical step for us, but we understand it is quite difficult. [Foreign Language] We have to embrace such challenge and we have to be brave enough to take this step. [Foreign Language] The next question addressed is about the outlook for next year.

[Foreign Language] We just began to start to negotiate with OEMs about next year. [Foreign Language] For the dealers, if we make the reverse calculation and actually last year, for each of the leads we generated, we charged RMB25.

[Foreign Language] We also heard from lots of channels saying that if the four dealership stores, they go get the own lead, the cost can be RMB200 to RMB300 per lead. [Foreign Language] So we are really cost effective to generate effective leads.

[Foreign Language] Next year, we are going to bundle the new products with our existing very successful products we want to, after we bundle, we can push forward the comprehensive product offering to our customers. [Foreign Language] This is just getting started and hopefully this would bring new growth to the company next year.

[Foreign Language] All the new business we’re talking about including the data services, the intelligent marketing services, the ultimate core is we want to help the four dealership stores to increase their sales conversion rate. [Foreign Language] Let me give you one example, let’s do not tell the exact name, but just give you as anonymous example.

Two months ago, there was first leadership stores that leads generated the conversion rate is only 1.6%, which is quite low. [Foreign Language] After two month efforts, toward the end of October, their lead conversion rate has jumped to 4.9%.

[Foreign Language] If we can truly help the four dealership stores and OEMs to convert higher in the conversion rate, I think the pricing cannot be a problem. [Foreign Language] We’re going to negotiate with OEMs, including the framework strategies with them.

[Foreign Language] As we said, when the whole market is getting softening, the OEMs still have concerns over their results and we also have concerns to help them to improve the sales, so we believe that we will have very good collaboration to increase the sales.

[Foreign Language] I can tell you I personally took a lot of time to visit more than 40 OEMs this year, face to face meetings, negotiations, I did them. I also invited them to visit us. [Foreign Language] I have to say we have deepened our relationship with OEMs.

[Foreign Language] With the launching of the intelligent marketing, we do believe that we will have more interaction with the OEMs.

[Foreign Language] For example, all the OEMs who get involved in smart and intelligent marketing, the standout they are working team and they are stationed in our out of home for one week or two weeks, we sit down together, we come up with strategies together and figure out how can we better embrace each other and also collaborate.

[Foreign Language] And what’s more, these 11 OEMs, they shared their data with our data. [Foreign Language] And this is not – can never be imagined before. [Foreign Language] And we also have a more higher level executive understanding and friendship. So in this way, it really deepens the friendship with 11 OEMs.

[Foreign Language] So the OEMs provided very positive feedback on our job and they have much more higher recognition level on our services. [Foreign Language] Okay. That’s all for answering your two questions. Thank you..

Thank you. Your next question is from Monica from Credit Suisse..

[Foreign Language] So I have one question about, so this year, we have launched a lot of initiatives and they have been making very good progress and next year, I understand we will continue to launch more products and new services and just want to understand what is our key investment areas for next year and the margin trend for next year?.

[Foreign Language] I would like to invite the CFO, Mr. Jun Zou to answer the question. I may add up more comments..

Monica, thanks for the question.

I guess, for the next year and on, we will continue to invest in our new business, especially with data financing and transaction and now, we have implemented very effective cost control programs on our core business, which help us to enjoy economy of scale in core business and we are also rolling out very high margin new business such as our big data and smart services to OEMs and dealers.

And now, we are building a trading and financing marketplace in which we are actually a sales – we are an agent and do not take any inventory or balance sheet risk. So, those businesses will be a high margin business in the long run, of course.

In the short term of course, as we mentioned before, we may share some of those income or commission with partners of ours, such as dealers, maybe consumers that are actually going to start to utilize our platforms. But overall in the long term, we think we’re positive on the margin trend..

[Foreign Language] Let me add a few more comments. Just recently, we have launched our new strategy. [Foreign Language] We’re talking about how can we leverage on our users, customers and try to build a smart platform as a eco platform for the whole auto business.

[Foreign Language] Ever since our new team get into the business in mid of 2016, we have experienced it in a few stages. [Foreign Language] Stage 1, we call it B stage, which is big data stage. [Foreign Language] We invested a lot of resources in building the infrastructure for the big data.

[Foreign Language] And also based on this platform, we developed a lot of data driven products. [Foreign Language] All these data products can be tools for OEMs and dealers to do analytic works. [Foreign Language] Now, we get into stage 2, which is we call it AD stage. [Foreign Language] The A means AI, B means big data. So it’s AI plus big data stage.

[Foreign Language] We come up with marketing solutions. [Foreign Language] Which is intelligent marketing. [Foreign Language] We actually moved one step ahead, because last year, we just offered big data, which is a tool and this year, we launched this solution which is intelligent marketing solution.

[Foreign Language] Now, we are thinking whether we can launch the third stage, which is ABC stage. [Foreign Language] Which is AI plus big data plus cloud solutions. [Foreign Language] We want to leverage on the OEM data, Autohome’s data and data to establish a private cloud.

[Foreign Language] So we can leverage on this private cloud to offer a comprehensive solution for the OEMs. [Foreign Language] So let me start on these three sources of data, we can comprehensively offer OEMs better upgrading on this RMB on its sales and marketing and also post sales and services. [Foreign Language] We already have the initial ideas.

The next step we’re going to put on the resources and make this achievable. [Foreign Language] That’s all. Thank you..

Your next question is from Hillman from Citigroup..

[Foreign Language] So regarding the OEM advertising and dealer subscription business, how do we see the competition from them, given that the fast rising the AU enhanced share of that?.

[Foreign Language] Let me echo on this question. Firstly, competition is in there and it’s actually, you can find the competition any time anywhere. [Foreign Language] We believe competition is benefiting the whole business to further develop.

[Foreign Language] I believe no matter who want to be successful in this auto vertical market, the magic formula is one we have mentioned, that is the number of leads multiplied by the conversion rates. [Foreign Language] We believe that the Autohome do have a lot of advantages and the competency over this regard.

[Foreign Language] After I get into the Internet business for years, I did identify that the 2B business and the 2C business, the DNA matters differently and differs differently. [Foreign Language] For example the 2C’s gaming business, if you get one game right, you can quickly grow and expand.

[Foreign Language] But this model doesn’t fit into the 2B business. [Foreign Language] The 2B business needs a top level strategy designing and it need to put a lot of concentrated resources. [Foreign Language] Only in this way can you deeply serve your customers well.

[Foreign Language] And also, it takes time to establish the business ties with your 2B customer and that business penetration rate can never be achieved overnight.

[Foreign Language] For example, this year, when we launched the data service business, it’s quite difficult to do the marketing, because for 2B business, the decision making process can be very long and there are lot of cycles along the decision making value chain.

[Foreign Language] And also for the 2C customers, the auto sales is very different from the fast consumption goods. [Foreign Language] For example on the Double 11’s day, if you place order on the fast consumption goods, it will take you only a few seconds or a few minutes or just maximally one day to place the order.

[Foreign Language] But for the auto sales, general buyer usually spend two months or even three months before they place any orders. [Foreign Language] So for this way, you cannot just entertain people and make the leads.

[Foreign Language] As I said during the opening day, it is very rare for people just watch 10 seconds or 15 seconds short video and then they place orders to buy a car. It is not that fast. [Foreign Language] So the leads that very professional content is needed to support the purchasing behavior.

[Foreign Language] And we also need all kinds of tools to convert the leads. [Foreign Language] We also need the support from big data. [Foreign Language] Then step by step, you can guide the users to generate leads. [Foreign Language] So we need professionalism as well as it is time consuming. [Foreign Language] The formula is quite important.

The number of leads multiplied by conversion rate, you have to achieve this result high. [Foreign Language] To make this high, you have to build a very good ATP or website which would be very attractive to the users and which would serve their needs to viewing and searching for and purchasing cars.

[Foreign Language] This is not necessarily undermining other competitors. We believe everybody have their own strength and we will also learn from others’ strength. [Foreign Language] For example the short video, we’re trying to deepen our understanding about the short video on usage.

[Foreign Language] And also we offer something new, which is not easily copied by others in short term. [Foreign Language] For example, we just announced that we’re going to launch an AR and VR show for the auto, online show in China next year on August 18. [Foreign Language] And we hope that we can track at least 50 million visitors.

Our aim is to reach to 100 million visitors. [Foreign Language] We’re already talking with a lot of OEMs and they showed a lot of tremendous interest in participating. [Foreign Language] We understand that the competition is always there. So that’s why each of the competitors do have their own strengths and advantages.

The ultimate winners would be who can serve the customer better and who can help the OEMs to achieve more sales. [Foreign Language] Okay. That’s all. Thank you..

Your last question comes from Wendy from Macquarie..

[Foreign Language] My first question is a follow-up on your agency private cloud strategy. We all know that cloud business for most of the Internet companies is highly CapEx since loss making.

So just wonder with your collaboration with OEM and also how will be the cost structure for your future cloud business? And second you gave a great example about how the leads conversion can improve by almost three times with intelligent marketing campaigns.

So I just wondered, does that imply the price increase potential for the leads, can be like 2 to 3 times in the longer term.

And lastly, regarding the light asset business you’re going to aggressively rollout next year, how should we think about pricing strategy of how you will determine the CPS, will it be backed out from the magic formula you just mentioned, the leads multiplied the commercial rate..

[Foreign Language] Thank you. Let me answer the first question regarding the cost of the private cloud. [Foreign Language] In terms of the cloud technology, we are leveraging on Ping An’s Technology. [Foreign Language] They already have quite matured cloud platform.

[Foreign Language] Actually what we are focusing more is not like the small players or small OEMs, they put a lot of attention on hardware like the service, et cetera. However, we pay more attention to the software side, for example, the data, how can we pull all the data together and make it effective.

[Foreign Language] We are now talking with OEMs, because we know it’s collective efforts for everybody is joining hands together, just like we did in the smart intelligent marketing.

[Foreign Language] On the second question, although I give example of how can we enhance the leads conversion rate, but actually different product differs and dealers differ from each other and OEMs differs from each other. So it’s not necessarily translating into how much more we can raise up the price.

[Foreign Language] But one thing is for sure, we would charge by the CPUV model. [Foreign Language] Now, the last question regarding the pricing on the CPS model, this is even more complicated because it depends on whether it’s dealership model or lower website model. So it’s different.

[Foreign Language] For example, if we are working with dealers, we would never hurt the dealers’ benefits or their interests. So in this way, otherwise, they would not collaborate with us.

[Foreign Language] And also for the secondary website, in the lower tier cities, because we have to take into consideration of the logistics cost and auto cost in the fees. So the fee modeling would be different. [Foreign Language] But roughly speaking, you can make your calculation by utilizing the conversion rate.

[Foreign Language] We have to negotiate with OEMs one by one, because each of them differs from each other..

Thank you. Due to limited time, I will now turn the conference back to your management for closing comments. Please continue..

Okay. Thank you very much for joining us today. We appreciate your support and we look forward to updating you on our next quarter’s conference call in a few months’ time. In the meantime, please feel free to get in touch with us if you have further questions or comments. Thank you..

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for your participation. You may all now disconnect..
