Thanks, Christian. Hi, everyone. Welcome to Aurora Mobile's 2026 second quarter earnings call. Before I comment on our Q2 results, I would like to remind everyone that we have uploaded the quarterly earnings deck on our IR website. You may refer to the deck as we proceed with the call today. As we've done in the past, The suitable description that I would give to the second quarter of 2026 is our RMB 100 million revenue quarter. The reason for this narrative is obvious. Our achievements in the second quarter of 2026 are as follows. Firstly, for the third time in our history, we recorded fast business revenue in excess of RMB 100 million in a single quarter. This was fueled by the highest developer service revenue in history of RMB 79.9 million in this quarter. Secondly, our global flagship product, Engage Labs, has its best quarter yet. The Engage Labs ARR for June 2026 has scaled to a record high of $14.6 million, representing 170% year-over-year growth. Thirdly, gross profit grew by 16% year-over-year, Gross margin improved by 197 basis points between the years. Having top-line growth alone is not enough. In this quarter, we delivered the fifth consecutive quarter of U.S. GAAP net profit. Last but not least, operationally, we brought in net cash inflow of RMB 23.3 million this quarter. This marks a strong second quarter performance, beating all our Q1 results released in May. Taken together, The first two quarters of 2026 validate our robust growth momentum, and we remain on track to deliver against our target for a highly promising full year, 2026. Let me now share more on the business aspect. RMB 100 million revenue a quarter. Yes, we made it again. This milestone came one quarter earlier than what we previously anticipated. We are very pleased with this early pleasant surprise. Our total Q2 group revenue reached RMB 101.2 million, representing a strong 13% year-over-year growth. This RMB 100 million of quarter revenue is a very important milestone for us. It signifies a few key messages that I think are important that I share with you all today. Firstly, the RMB 100 million quarterly revenue milestone marked the landmark validation of Aurora Mobile's pure SaaS strategic transformation, forming a durable larger revenue foundation. Secondly, top-line expansion is anchored by high-margin, recurring developer subscription revenue supported by solid customer retention and rising enterprise demand. Thirdly, dual growth engines, domestic developer ecosystem, and fast-growing global engaged lab business jointly drive scalable cross-market revenue expansion. Fourthly, greater revenue scale improves operating leverage, underpinning our consistent profitability trend and long-term path of sustainable shareholder returns. In this quarter, developer services recorded a great 24% revenue growth year-over-year, but vertical applications revenue decreased 16% year-over-year. Developer services revenues, which consists of subscription service and value-added services, delivered excellent performance in this quarter. Our core business, developer subscription services, delivered another historic high quarterly revenue number of RMB $70.7 million. representing growth of 32% year-over-year and 9% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter revenue growth was mainly driven by increases in both customer number and output. In short, the momentum of this business is very strong, and I do have high hopes of the continued growth in many more quarters to come. Now, let's move on to the update on our global flagship product, Engagelabs. being the jewel of Aurora Mobile's growth engine, has again brought in excellent numbers every quarter since its launch. In this quarter, the highlights include, firstly, Engage Labs recorded another quarter of tremendous growth, where the ARR reached a new milestone of $14.6 million as of June 2026. This represents a 170% year-over-year growth, Secondly, Engage Labs broke another record where the cumulative signed contract value has exceeded RMB $200 million by the end of Q2 of 2026. This speaks volumes in terms of market acceptance and total addressable market for this product. For sure, we are very pleased with this achievement. Nevertheless, we will continue to work hard and smart to conquer more markets and winning more contracts. In Q2 alone, we inked more than RMB 27.4 million worth of new contracts. Thirdly, more and more new global customers are being converted and switched to Engagelab. The Engagelab customer number has exceeded 2,100 as of the 30th of June, 2026. The expansion of Engagelab across the globe has been very successful Fourthly, the recognized revenue for Engagelab in Q2 of 2026 reached RMB 27.5 million, representing an outstanding 186% growth year over year. Also, in this quarter, there was a new addition to the Engagelab family where we officially launched SilentAuth, an advanced password-less authentication solution designed to complement existing SMS OTP services and Elevate Identity Verification for the Global Market. Shan-Nen also provides a more dependable approach to phone-based authentication across three key use cases, namely, firstly, faster registration and login, secondly, secure verification for high-risk operations, and thirdly, marketing fraud prevention. Review the launch of Silanol not only enriches Engagelab's omnichannel customer engagement portfolio, but also reinforces Aurora Mobile's commitment to providing global enterprises with stable, efficient, and intelligent solutions. Going forward, it is my goal that Engagelab will continue to leverage advanced technologies to help businesses build stronger, trust-based customer relationships and accelerate global growth. within subscription revenue, some of the notable wins in this quarter include, but are not limited to, Bank of China, Hong Kong, CXMT, Deep Seek, Mincheng Junquan, and Hashkey. Value-added services revenues were RMB 9.2 million, up 36% quarter over quarter, but down 15% year over year. The quarter over quarter spike was mainly attributable to the traditional quarterly online shopping of 618 in Q2. I think it is also time for me to provide an update on the progress and updates we have on our enterprise AI agent platform, GPTbots.ai. Recently, we released a major production grade upgrade to GPTbots.ai, tackling the key industry limitations whereby conventional AI agents only support conversations and demos, lacking deep business system integration and end-to-end task execution. The upgrade centers on three pillars, a graph-enhanced knowledge base for context-aware business analysis, autonomous workflow automation across 14 communication channels via agent collaboration, and robust enterprise governance with audit trails, runtime safeguard, and mandatory human validation for live deployment. This product advancement supports GPT-Bot's global expansion through the following. Firstly, transforms the platform into a production-ready solution to improve overseas sales conversion. Secondly, native compatibility with global channels, including WhatsApp, Slack, and Teams, extends market reach across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Thirdly, strength and governance satisfies international data compliance requirements, enabling deals with multinationals and regulated sectors. Fourthly, optimized knowledge processing reduces customization and onboarding costs for global clients and improves project growth margins. We believe the upgrade puts Aurora Mobile in a strong position to capture market share as enterprises worldwide transition from AI testing to large-scale deployment of agentic AI. As you can see, besides growing the business globally, we have been busy on the R&D front. Our team has not taken our eyes off the need to continue to upgrade and create new products and services to supplement our entire suite of service to our customers, This is important because we will not rest on our laurels amid our achievements to date. We must remain attuned to the latest developments across global markets and implement necessary product upgrades, adjustments, and innovations as circumstances demand. Only by doing so can we stay relevant and meet the evolving needs of our global customer base. Collectively, these efforts form critical building blocks to sustain ongoing revenue growth and advance our path toward improved profitability. Now, let me pass the call over to Shan-Nen who will take you through the metrics on vertical applications and financial performance for this quarter.
