The overall market price is stable, which is beneficial for the long-term health development of the second-hand industry. Second, the increase in memory is more beneficial to the market share of Apple products, and Apple products are the core driving force of our business. Third, there are still In the context of the rising price of new machines, all major manufacturers and platforms will pay more attention to saving and replacing new businesses and continue to invest more. Based on the above analysis, we judge that the market environment in 2026 is greater than ever for the whole of the second-hand industry, which is conducive to the continuous stable and healthy development of the industry.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

As we move into 2026, we are seeing meaningful changes in the external market environment. Recently, the continued rise in memory prices is directly pushing up new device prices, and this trend is creating new opportunities for the pre-owned industry. We see this playing out in three ways. First, pre-owned product prices are rising alongside new devices, keeping overall market pricing firm and healthy, which supports the long-term development of the industry. Second, memory price increases actually work more in favor of Apple's market share, and Apple products are the core drivers of our business. Third, trade-in penetration still has significant room to grow. With new device prices going up and national subsidies in place, manufacturers and e-commerce players will place even greater emphasizes on trade-in programs and continue to increase their investment. Taking all of these together, our view is that the 2026 market environment is not positive for the pre-owned industry and supports continued steady and healthy industry development.

The second strategy. We continue to strengthen the positioning of the first national recycling brand. On the one hand, in the past two years, we have quickly built the ability of new media brand marketing, and in Douyin and Xiaohongshu, two important user marketing platforms have actively built a recycling brand. From a wide consumer group, there are two mobile phone 3C product construction, brand new products, from more concerned about the quality of life in the user community to build a brand new brand with luxury products. Brand marketing is still a strategic investment in the early stages of the second-hand industry development, but considering that second-hand mobile 3C and other high-end products are still a relatively low-end business, we maintain a good investment in brand marketing costs and maintain our own rhythm. On the other hand, the second recovery platform has been integrated into the community scene of the country through the ecological enterprise iFenLay. With the help of iFenLay's 50,000 smart recovery machines operated in the community, 245 consumer brands have been expanded throughout the year to build collaborative ecosystems and jointly guide green consumption in the new era. iFenLay is not only an important and unique community infrastructure, stage two, we will continue to strengthen AHS Recycle's position as China's leading recycling brand.

Through these efforts, we have strengthened brand awareness for pre-owned consumer electronics among a broader consumer base, and our luxury goods recycling identity resonated with users who prioritize quality lifestyles. While brand marketing remains a strategically important investment in the early stage of second-hand industry development, we will remain prudent with brand marketing investments and progress at our own pace. given that free-owned consumer electronics and other high-value categories remain relatively low-frequency businesses. At the same time, we will drive penetration of the AHS Recycle brand into communities nationwide through Loverie, the ecosystem extension of AHS Recycle. Loverie drew more than 50,000 Loverie recycling shops across communities. We expanded partnerships with 245 consumer brands to co-establish a collaborative ecosystem and jointly pioneer green consumption. Loverie is not only a critical and unique community infrastructure.

The first question today comes from Juan Giao with CICC. Please go ahead.

speaker
Juan Giao
Managing Director, CICC

Good evening, Managing Director. Thank you for accepting my question. Congratulations on our long-term performance. I have a question. During the two meetings this year, we all know that the country is also very concerned about the supply and demand of consumer goods. At the same time, the price of consumer goods has continued to rise in the past several seasons. In March, I also saw some manufacturers raising the price of new products. Will the above factors be linked together? From our point of view, what is the impact on the 3G industry in the second half of this year? Will we also adjust the value of 26 years because of these factors? Congratulations for this strong quarter. I have one question. During the recent two sessions, the government confirmed the sale of national subsidies for consumer trading programs. However, storage prices have been rising for several quarters, and in March, we've seen manufacturers raising new devices prices. How do you view the impact on the pre-owned consumer electronics industry this year, and will you revise your 2016 guidance? Thank you.

speaker
Kerry Chen
Founder, Chairman, and CEO

Thank you for the question. Let me answer this question. First of all, in the year of 2026, we saw the country continue to invest in mobile phone, tablet, smart bracelet, and watch for the replacement of old and new. And the smart glasses are also included in the range of replacement. In the year of 2025, the drive of our old and new business mainly comes from 6,000 yuan or more in high-end mobile phone sales, and not directly enjoy the national profit. For Aosu Mobile's 3G business, we estimate that by 2026, it will be similar to that of 2025. It will still start from the realization of the old machine recovery transformation for users, and start for users to do well with the old change. Thank you. I'd like to take the first question.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

For 2026, the government has extended trading subsidies for mobile phones, tablets, and smart watches. Smart glasses have now also been added to the list. In 2025, the trading subsidy has been applied to the new device cells, which were priced under 6,000 RMB, which we were not eligible to compensate this kind of national subsidy. However, as we were able to capture the upgrade the need from consumer trading process that we will benefit from the similar process in 2026. For our pre-owned consumer electronics businesses, our role hasn't been changed. We help users monetize their old devices, and we make trade-ins hassle-free. To be clear, we are not involved. But with that said, with the broader policy push, including measures, insurance subsidies for retail users, continues to strengthen public awareness of trade-ins. That growing awareness drives momentum that works directly in our favor.

speaker
Kerry Chen
Founder, Chairman, and CEO

In 2015, due to the large-scale construction and application industry of AI, there was a significant increase in the shortage of storage and the price of storage. On behalf of smart phones, new manufacturers are facing the challenge of invisible price increase. In the trend of 2020-2026, the price of storage . . . . . In terms of the recycling industry, opportunities are also a challenge. The opportunity is to invest heavily in renewable energy, which may become a higher priority for e-commerce and brand companies. Some of the scenarios of renewable energy can be combined with our better recycling prices, serve more users' needs for renewable energy, and thus achieve rapid growth in the recycling of raw materials.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

In 2025, driven by large-scale AI deployment and applications, the industry began to see memory shortages and significant price increases. Putting components causes pressure on new device manufacturers, particularly in smartphones. In 2026, as firmware prices rose more rapidly, Android manufacturers had to raise new device prices, while Apple kept its pricing relatively stable. This widening gap has reinforced Apple's position in the pre-owned market, and we have seen the share of Apple products in our business increase on a sequential basis. More broadly, rising new device prices created both opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, trade-ins are likely to become a higher priority for e-commerce platforms and manufacturers. Certain trade-in scenarios can be combined with national subsidies and by offering more competitive recycling prices. We can serve more users trade-in needs and drive rapid growth in supply sourcing. On the other hand, competitive pricing and high quality user experiences have become even more crucial as more consumers adopt their pre-owned alternatives.

speaker
Kerry Chen
Founder, Chairman, and CEO

In terms of price, we will continue to actively promote the retail priority trading strategy. The ratio of retail income to EP business increases to more than 50% of the target. Try to use the sales price selected at the C-end to design a higher C-end recovery price. In terms of experience, continue the mechanism of the UEC user experience committee established last year, maintain a high level and strict inspection of the satisfaction index of multiple users, actively embrace the feedback of users, and quickly respond to the needs of users. Looking forward to the double-digit growth rhythm of total revenue maintaining faster than the industry throughout the year, through scale effects and cost control,

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

On pricing, we remain committed to our retail-first strategy, maintaining our target of retail revenue at 50% of our 1P business. We are exploring using 2CU curated sales prices as a benchmark to set more competitive trading prices. On experience, our user experience committee established last year will continue to run frequent and rigorous reviews across key satisfaction metrics. ensuring we remain responsive to user feedback and act on it swiftly. Looking ahead to the full year, we expect the growth of our total net revenue to continue outpacing the double-digit growth of the broader industry. Continued scale expansion and discipline cost control positions us to return margins to an upward trajectory.

Hey, Carrie Tong, Max Tong. May I ask the management what is the store opening target in 2026? Thank you.

speaker
Kerry Chen
Founder, Chairman, and CEO

Looking back at 2025, we recognized early that national subsidies would accelerate point-owned industry growth.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

So we invested decisively in offline fulfillment, expanding our store network and scaling up our two-door service team.

speaker
Kerry Chen
Founder, Chairman, and CEO

In 2025, we will continue to focus on developing standard stores, focusing on mobile 3C, and increasing the number of high-quality consumer multi-specialty recovery services. In 2025, we had a net addition of 451 AHS standard stores.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

Going forward, our priority remains the extension of our standard stores with consumer electronics as the core. We will also increase the proportion of multi-category resecting services for high-value products across our stores, which will drive higher per-store profit contribution. In lower-tier cities, we will continue to grow through local franchisee partners and city partners to jointly develop the pre-owned market allowing us to extend our store coverage in an asset-light way.

speaker
Kerry Chen

在门店之外,我们在全国范围内建设了一支上门团队。 年内,日均产单人数增加超过了1000人, 为线下门店网络有效扩张了一个灵活机动的队伍, 并建设了弹性的上门运力, 快速补齐了因已就关心业务激增而带来的线下旅业交付, Young stores will also build a nationwide two-door service team.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

Daily order generating headcount grew by over 1,000, effectively extending our store network with a flexible workforce. This on-demand capacity allowed us to quickly fill the fulfillment gap when trade-in volumes surged. With both our store network and two-door team working together, our face-to-face trade-in fulfillment ratio exceeded 70% and user experience continued to improve.

speaker
Kerry Chen
Founder, Chairman, and CEO

对于2026年,我们会沿用上述策略在高线城市加强门店质量,在中低线城市推进。 and the growth of the number of door stores, and based on the flexible adjustment of the staff of the business, the door stores that love to recover are the place of delivery and the place of the brand. The number of door stores needs to be in line with the online traffic, and the spiral rises. In the long term, the goal of our 5,000 door stores remains unchanged. For 2026, we will follow the same approach.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

We will enhance store quality in high-tier cities, expand our store footprint in lower-tier cities, and flexibly adjust our two-door service team to match seasonal demand. Our AHS store serves not only as fulfillment locations, but also as important touch points for our brand. Our store network and online traffic need to grow in tandem and reinforce each other. Over the medium to long term, our target of 5,000 stores remains unchanged, but we will adjust the pace of store openings as needed based on online traffic growth and our broader brand strategy. Thank you.

speaker
Rex Chen

Thank you. 在消费电子星际价格上涨的周期,我们保持高优先级发展EP2C的零售策略。 预计二手回售和销售价格也往保持动态向上发展的趋势。 过程中,毛利率更高的2C销售占比提升,也会小幅度改善产品收入毛利率表现。 The pre-owned consumer electronics industry has stable fundamentals and a well-established brand landscape.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

Rising new device prices reinforce our commitment to the 1P retail strategy. And we expect both restructuring and retail prices to trend upward. Meanwhile, as higher margin retail product revenue represents a growing share of our mix, we anticipate Radio 1P World's margin extension as well.

speaker

从长期角度看,更重要的是由规模效应带来的能干净利润率的提升。 其中一方面来自于自动化质检技术的应用。 单订单质检费用相比人工质检节约约30%。 Over the long term, what matters to us is the improvement in our land gap operating margin driven by economies of scale.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

This plays out in several areas. One comes from our automated quality inspection technology, which can reduce quality inspection costs for order by approximately 30% compared to manual inspection. We continue to refine our automation roadmap and are scaling these capabilities at our Dongguan and Changzhou operation centers to drive efficiency gains. We are also beginning to deploy automated logistics infrastructure on a smaller scale. Together, these efforts are expected to improve our NANGAP fulfillment expense ratios.

speaker
Rex Chen
Chief Financial Officer

In terms of sales revenue, due to the early development of the industry, it is necessary to include certain sales benefits in the sales environment to increase the cost of goods. At the same time, we expect to maintain a solid position in brand marketing in the mid-to-long term, and consolidate the quality of the users of the national low recovery brands. But with the establishment of mature brand users in the industry, we have confidence in promoting relative improvement in sales revenue.

speaker
Jessie Jin
Head of Investor Relations

On the selling and marketing side, the industry is still at an early stage, so we do need to increase our pricing attractiveness with sales vouchers. Over the medium to long term, we plan to maintain discipline spending in brand marketing to solidify HS Recycle as a top brand for recycling services in consumers' minds. As the industry matures and brand trust deepens, we see a clear opportunity to improve our selling and marketing expense ratio. Thank you for the question.
