According to China Insights Industry Consultancy Limited, the total technology spending of financial institutions in China is expected to reach RMB799.3 billion by 2025. We remain fully confident in the potential and outlook of the FinTech industry in China."

In the first quarter of 2023, the collaboration with partners and clients such as Old Mutual in South Africa and some top digital banks in Southeast Asia deepened, and we will continue the efforts of improving delivery efficiency and products capability to satisfy customers' needs.

Gross margin improved by 2.8ppt year-over-year to 37.1%, and non-IFRS gross margin increased to 40.4% in the first quarter. In addition to improved gross margin, net loss ratio to shareholders improved by 19.4ppt year-over-year from -31.2% to -11.8%.

We are ready to go further this year."
