Thank you, Wendy. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Q1 2026 was solid throughout. We achieved growth across every key metric, revenue, profitability, and the working capital turnover efficiency. For the quarter, group revenue grew 15% year over year to 2.4 billion. Non-GAAP operating income turned profitable at 8 million. a significant improvement compared to a loss of 67 million a year ago. Both business lines delivered solid growth in top line and the bottom line. Importantly, these are not just financial improvements. They reflect notable progress in sales quality, profitability, and the cash generation across both engines. BEC resumed the sustainable top-line growth this quarter with a 10% year-over-year revenue increase. Compared with scale, what is even more critical is actually the quality of this growth. We will continue to prioritize our revenue streams towards enhancing business quality, refining service satisfaction, and ultimately improving overall profitability. With growing synergies with BBM and the integration of this brand management mindset, we aim to engage more deeply with our clients, understand their businesses at a gradual level, and collaborate closely to drive sustainable growth. BBM delivered acceleration this quarter with revenue up 39% year over year and a continuing improvement in profitability. GAP reached operating breakeven for the second consecutive quarter. This is especially impressive given the relatively smaller seasonal cycle in the first quarter. We believe this performance is a testament to our methodologies in MMC, merchandising, marketing, and the channel. We will continue to leverage this proven approach to nurture smaller niche brands within our portfolio to expand our addressable market. The strong Q1 results bolster our confidence in the full year outlook, and more importantly, in our ability to excel during the acceleration phase of our business transformation over the next three years. Our two engines are each playing distinct yet reinforcing roles. BEC is not simply resuming growth. It is becoming a higher quality and a value driven business. Meanwhile, BBM is accelerating with gap, a clear path toward 2026 and the operating breakeven. Both engines are performing in sync and operating synergy is beginning to emerge, opening up broader development opportunities and unlocking new growth potential for a company. Now I'll hand over the call to the team for a deeper dive in our financials and business performance.
