感谢Alice,欢迎各位。晚上好,美国的朋友们,感谢大家的时间。正如Alice提到的,请参考我们官网投资者关系页面的业绩演示文稿,我们将按准备好的发言稿进行说明。2025年第二季度,净收入和毛利润均实现同比增长。净收入增长主要归因于海外留学咨询服务、其他教育服务和研究型学习服务的贡献增加,这三项业务的合并收入增长了50%以上。延续至2025年上半年,我们在6个月期间实现了强劲增长,净收入和毛利润均实现两位数增长。虽然所有业务线均录得增长,但我们的增值服务,包括研究型学习、海外留学咨询和其他教育服务是主要驱动力。接下来是2025年第二季度运营亮点。2025年第二季度,我们的主要收入贡献者仍然是作品集培训服务,占总净收入的68%。我们的项目制课程交付学分同比增长25.7%,约占交付总学分的76.7%。研究型学习、海外留学咨询和其他教育服务的收入在净收入中占比日益重要,由于期间交付服务增加,较去年同期增长54.2%。尽管第二季度通常是其家长服务较慢的季度,但我们为ACG学生提供了各种高质量的研究型学习项目,包括多个大师班和我们标志性项目的新一期——联合国可持续发展目标第10条。此外,我们推出了电影节联合巡展,让对电影制作感兴趣的学生沉浸式体验世界最负盛名和影响力的电影节之一。我们在海外留学咨询服务方面录得显著收入增长。由于交付服务增加,所有学生继续探索世界一流大学和学院的留学选择。对于2025年录取结果,我们非常兴奋地宣布,ACG学生已收到超过4,000份录取通知。这些录取和奖学金来自我们6大艺术学科的所有顶尖院校。亮点结果包括康奈尔大学和卡内基梅隆大学的计算机设计录取、哥伦比亚大学和阿彭的建筑学录取、皇家音乐学院和[Le]音乐学院的音乐录取、加州艺术学院和谢里丹学院的电影、游戏和动画录取、皇家艺术学院和RCA的美术录取,以及UAL的时装和帕森斯设计学院与中央圣马丁学院的录取。我们还有学生被设计与工程艺术硕士项目录取,这是由博拉尔大学和罗德岛设计学院联合设计的双学位项目,学生将有机会获得两所常春藤盟校和顶尖艺术学院的学术资源。接下来是2025年第二季度关键财务指标。2025年第二季度总净收入为5,590万元人民币,较2024年第二季度的5,180万元增长8%,主要归因于海外留学咨询项目、其他教育服务和研究型学习服务的收入贡献增加。2025年第二季度毛利润为2,830万元人民币,较2024年第二季度的2,570万元增长10.2%,主要由于净收入增加。毛利率也从去年同期的49.6%提升至2025年第二季度的50.6%。2025年第二季度总运营费用为4,210万元人民币,较2024年第二季度的4,650万元下降9.4%。作为净收入的百分比,总运营费用从去年同期的89.8%降至2025年第二季度的75.3%。运营费用下降是由于销售费用减少260万元人民币,原因是销售人员数量减少和销售激励降低;一般及行政费用减少150万元人民币,原因是专业费用减少;研发费用减少30万元人民币,因为ACG系统开发已于2024年第二季度完成。由于净收入增加和运营费用略有下降,2025年第二季度运营亏损从2024年第二季度的2,080万元收窄至1,370万元人民币。2025年第二季度归属于ACG的净亏损为1,080万元人民币,而去年同期为1,680万元人民币。2025年上半年,总净收入从去年同期的9,990万元人民币增长11.8%至11,170万元人民币。增长主要归因于研究型学习、海外留学咨询和其他教育服务的贡献增加。2025年上半年毛利润为5,370万元人民币,较2024年上半年的4,760万元增长12.8%。由于期间收入增加,毛利率也从2024年上半年的47.7%提升至48.1%。2025年上半年总运营费用为8,430万元人民币,较2024年上半年的9,010万元下降6.4%。作为净收入的百分比,总运营费用从去年同期的90.2%降至75.5%。下降主要由于销售费用减少380万元人民币,原因是销售人员数量减少和销售激励降低;研发费用减少60万元人民币;部分被一般及行政费用增加250万元人民币所抵消,这与2025年第四季度开展的新项目开发相关。由于收入增加和运营费用下降,2025年上半年运营亏损从2024年上半年的4,240万元收窄至3,050万元人民币。2025年上半年归属于ACG的净亏损为2,410万元人民币,而去年同期为3,470万元人民币。接下来是资产负债表亮点。截至2025年6月30日,我们拥有3,470万元人民币的现金及现金等价物,总资产4.442亿元人民币,总负债3.884亿元人民币,股东权益总额5,580万元人民币。接下来是年初至今的招生趋势。从学生招生开始。2025年第二季度,学生总招生人数为1,050人,较去年同期下降3.1%。学生招生人数下降是由于2025年我们服务的需求正常化,而2023年和2024年上半年学生需求有所反弹。2025年第二季度作品集培训学生招生人数为553人,2025年第二季度所有其他课程的学生招生人数为494人。接下来是交付学分。2025年第二季度,交付学分较去年同期微增0.3%。我们报告项目制课程增长25.7%,近年来由于其灵活性和定制化设计,项目制课程在总交付学分中的占比持续增加,而总交付学分的增长被时间制课程学分减少所抵消,因为大多数新入学学生选择了项目制课程。接下来,让我们谈谈对2025年全年的预期。我们预计截至2025年12月31日的年度总净收入将在约2.76亿元人民币至2.81亿元人民币之间,较2024年全年同比增长约3%至5%。我们预计作品集培训仍将是收入的主要支柱,同时所有其他业务线的贡献将增加。随着我们继续改进现有产品并推出新项目,我们2025财年的指引范围及相关假设基于公司当前的业务选择举措和截至2025年12月31日的年度汇率,以及对现有国内外市场状况的当前和初步看法,均可能发生变化。现在我想请Jun详细阐述我们的长期增长战略。Jun,请开始。

Thank you, Alice, and welcome, everyone. Good evening to those in America, and we appreciate everyone's time. As Alice mentioned, we -- please refer to our earnings deck available on the IR side of our website, and we go through our prepared remarks. Second quarter 2025 was marked by year-over-year increase in net revenues and gross profit. Growth in net revenues was mainly attributed to increased contribution from overseas study counseling services, other educational services and research-based learning services, combined revenue of which increased by more than 50%. Continuing to first half 2025, we delivered strong growth for the 6-month period, highlighted by double-digit increase in both net revenues and gross profit. While we recorded growth across all business lines, our value-added offerings, including research-based learning, overseas study counseling and other educational services were the primary drivers. Moving on to second quarter operational highlights. During second quarter 2025, our main revenues contributor remain portfolio training services, accounting for 68% of total net revenues. Our project-based programs credit hours delivered increased by 25.7% compared to the second quarter of 2024 and contributed to about 76.7% of total credit hours delivered. Revenues from research-based learnings, overseas study counseling and other educational services accounted for an increasingly important part of net revenues, which grew by 54.2% compared to the prior year period as a result of more services delivered during the period. Despite Q2 normally being a slower quarter for its parential offerings, we delivered a variety of high-quality research- based learning projects to ACG students, including several master classes and a new session of our signature program, the United Nations Sustainable Goals Article 10. In addition, we introduced film festival United Tour, bringing students interested in film production to the forefront of our -- one of the world's most prestigious and influential film festival from an immersive experience. We recorded significant revenue growth in overseas study counseling services. As a result of more services delivered, all students continue to explore study abroad options in world-class universities and college. For 2025 admission results, we are more than excited to announce that ACG students have received more than 4,000 offers. And these offers and scholarship come from prestigious institutions across all of our 6 major art disciplines. Highlight results, including offers in computer design at Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University, Architecture at Columbia University and Appen, Music at Royal College of Music and [ Le ] conservatoire, film, games and animation at California Institution of Arts and Sheridan College, Fine Art and -- Fine Art at Royal College of Arts and RCA as well as Fashion and Patent School of Design and Central Saint Martins College of UAL. We also have students being accepted into the Master of Arts in Design Engineering, a double major program codesigned by Boral University and Rhode Island School of Design, where students will have access to academic resources from both an everly schools and top art institutes. Moving on to the second quarter 2025 key financial metrics. Total net revenues for second quarter 2025 were RMB 55.9 million, an increase of 8% of RMB 51.8 million in second quarter 2024, which were primarily due to increased revenue contributions from overseas study counseling programs, other educational services and research-based learning services. Gross profit for second quarter 2025 was RMB 28.3 million, an increase of 10.2% from RMB 25.7 million in second quarter 2024, primarily due to higher net revenues. Gross margin also improved to 50.6% during second quarter 2025 from 49.6% in the prior year period. Total operating expenses was RMB 42.1 million in second quarter 2025, a decrease of 9.4% from RMB 46.5 million in second quarter 2024. Well, as a percentage of net revenues, total operating expenses decreased to 75.3% during second quarter 2025 compared to 89.8% in the prior year period. The decrease in operating expense was due to RMB 2.6 million decrease in sales expenses related to lower headcount in sales personnel and decreased sales incentives, and RMB 1.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses as a result of decreased professional fees as well as RMB 0.3 million decrease in research and development expenses as ACG system development was completed in Q2 2024. As a result of higher net revenues and slightly lower operating expenses, loss from operational in second quarter 2025 narrowed to RMB 13.7 million from RMB 20.8 million in second quarter 2024. Net loss attributable to ACG during second quarter 2025 was RMB 10.8 million compared to RMB 16.8 million in the prior year period. During the first half 2025, total net revenues increased to 11.8% to RMB 111.7 million from RMB 99.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to increased contribution from research-based learnings and overseas study counseling and other educational services. Gross profit for first half 2025 were RMB 53.7 million, an increase of 12.8% from the RMB 47.6 million in first half 2024. As a result of increased revenue during the period, gross margin also improved to 48.1% from 47.7% in first half 2024. Total operating expenses was RMB 84.3 million in first half 2025, a decrease of 6.4% from RMB 90.1 million in the first half 2024. As a percentage of net revenues, total operating expenses decreased to 75.5% from 90.2% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a RMB 3.8 million decrease in sales expenses as a result of lower headcount in sales personnel and decreased sales incentives compared to first half 2024 and RMB 0.6 million decrease in research and development expenses and was partially offset by RMB 2.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses related to development of new projects carried out in fourth quarter 2025. As a result of increased revenues and decreased operating expenses, loss from operations in first half 2025 narrowed to RMB 30.5 million compared to RMB 42.4 million in first half 2024. Net loss attributable to ACG in first half 2025 was RMB 24.1 million compared to RMB 34.7 million. Moving to the balance sheet highlights. As of June 30, 2025, we had RMB 34.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, total assets of RMB 444.2 million, total liabilities of RMB 388.4 million and total shareholders' equity of RMB 55.8 million. Moving on to year-to-date enrollment trends. Starting with student enrollment. For second quarter 2025, total student enrollment was 1,050, decreased by 3.1% from the prior year period. The decrease in student enrollment was a result of normalized demand in our service in 2025 versus the rebound of student demand in 2023 and first half of 2024. Portfolio training student enrollment for second quarter 2025 was 553 and student enrollment for all other programs for second quarter 2025 was 494. Moving on to credit hours delivered. For second quarter 2025, credit hours delivered slightly increased by 0.3% compared to prior year period. We reported a 25.7% increase in project-based programs, which in recent years have accounted for a continuously increasing percentage of total credit hours due to their flexibility and customization by design and growth in total credit hours delivered was offset by decreased time-based programs credit hours as majority of newly enrolled students opt for the project-based track. With that, let's move to our expectations for full year 2025. We expect to report total net revenues of between approximately RMB 276 million to RMB 281 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which represents a year-over-year increase of around 3% to 5% from full year 2024. We anticipate portfolio training to remain the main pillar of revenues accompanied by increased contributions from all other lines of business. As we continue to improve current offerings and introduce new programs, our fiscal year 2025 guidance range and related assumptions are based on the company's current business options initiatives and rate for the year end December 31, 2025, and the current and preliminary view of existing domestic and international market conditions, are all subject to change. I'd like to turn it over to Jun, who will expand upon our long-term growth strategy. Jun, please go ahead.
