Our shareholder profit is 11.9 billion yuan, which is 16.5 billion yuan in total. The free cash flow of the Group is 132.5 billion yuan. The production capacity of the cash flow continues to stabilize. The Board of Directors announced that the end-of-year dividend will be 118 points, plus our year-end dividend of 118 points, which is a total of 236 points this year, which is equivalent to an increase of 20 points. The dividend rate has also reached 51.4%. In August last year, the Board of Directors announced that we would buy back 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Next, let's take a look at the performance of our specific operating projects. . . . . . . . . . has achieved double growth both online and offline. Online growth is slightly better, with an increase of 20% online. Let's look at the interest rate. The total interest rate of the group, 62.2%, dropped by 0.4%. This is mainly due to the drop in the interest rate of the brand Anta. and ANTA's online business ratio has been improved. Feiler's profit margin has dropped by 1.2%. This is mainly because in the past two years, we have increased our investment in Feiler's products. We have invested in product development, innovation, and fabric. If you go to our Feiler store this year, you will see the changes in the product level. We think that a good product represents a good brand. A brand's continuous competitiveness must be a product. A product is the core competitiveness. So we at Fela are constantly investing in our products. Fela's net profit is very high, so the net profit has dropped a little. As you know, This is the cost rate. The core is our cost rate. In addition, the online ratio is also a little higher. Business expenses. First of all, employee expenses. 14.8. Basically, we are at this ratio every year. Continuous and stable employee investment. According to this year's calculation, we invested 10.5 billion yuan for the benefit of new employees and employee development. Then we proposed that our ability should be built on the brand Because now every brand has a large enough scale So it continues to provide us with multi-brand globalization and the value of talent Broadband spending is 9% compared to the rise of 0.8% Because the 24th year is the sports year, the Olympic year So there is a slight increase in the broadband aspect Then the development spending is 2.8% This year, we invested 2 billion yuan in R&D, and our R&D revenue increased by 20%.

In addition, on our independent technology platform, our innovative technologies, such as ANTAMO, PJ7, and Roushinsha, have also achieved better results in market transformation. Business Profit Rate 23.4 Uh... DeSante Cologne's operating profit rate or their discount is still rising. Profit rate is also rising by 1.5%. Then shareholder profit. . . The next step is the management of operating funds. Our storage capacity is 123 days. As you all know, we are a D2C company, so all the storage in the whole channel, basically all the storage in the whole channel, is in our account. So 128 days is still a healthy level. Now our whole channel storage ratio is also at a healthy level of about 5. As you can see, the stock price has gone up. The stock price was very good at the end of 2023. Last year, it was at a relatively low level. We can have detailed data to see the storage of every SKU in the whole channel. Once there is a lot of storage at the front end, we will adjust our OTB model in time to guide our orders. Because the group is very large, we have to order more than 100 billion pairs every year, so we pay great attention to the management of the entire storage, the management of the entire operating capital. In terms of income and pay, they are all at a very good health level. In terms of cash, the company's operating cash flow is 16.7 billion. The net profit is also 16.9 billion.

In addition, from the three aspects of profitability, operating standards, and investment in the future, we will promote the differential management of multi-brands.
