Recently, a well-known institution raised the following questions about the company:

Q: The company will split and disclose the two major business segments of integrated marketing services and advertising platforms for the first time in 2025, both of which are growing at nearly 50%. How does management view the future development prospects of these two segments? Which one has more growth elasticity to look forward to?

A: The 2025 split disclosure of integrated marketing services and advertising platforms aims to present a clearer picture of the company’s business structure and the “dual-wheel drive” development pattern, helping investors gain a more comprehensive understanding of the company’s accelerated transition to a new stage of “integrated marketing service capabilities + programmatic advertising platform capabilities + I-driven capabilities” in synergy. During the reporting period, integrated marketing service revenue was 1.954 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 49.35%; advertising platform business revenue was 1.838 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 48.92%, with both segments maintaining rapid growth. The company believes that in the short term, integrated marketing services will continue to be an important foundation and “ballast stone” for the company’s operational performance, relying on its client base, industry insights, and complete overseas marketing solutions to continuously expand in multiple sectors such as e-commerce, applications, cultural tourism, new energy vehicles, short dramas, and I applications; in the medium to long term, the advertising platform business has stronger platform attributes, technological leverage, and scale effects, with the potential to release stronger revenue growth elasticity, efficiency improvement space, and profit contribution based on continuous enhancements in traffic supply, algorithm models, and commercialization capabilities. In the future, the company will continue to focus on expanding traffic supply, upgrading algorithms and technology platforms, productizing I, externalizing platform capabilities, and adapting to emerging industries, thereby continuously solidifying the growth foundation of the advertising platform business.
