  • (interpreted) So actually, the English prepared remarks that was spoken by me was not really spoken by me.

    (翻譯)所以實際上,我說的英文準備好的發言並不是我真正說的。

  • It's generated by AI.

    它是由人工智慧產生的。

  • It's our self-developed proprietary index TTS model that only used 15 seconds of my speech during one of the events and generated that English prepared remark.

  • And we just made it happen faster.

    我們只是讓它更快發生。

  • So before I get into futures, I would like to look back a little bit on where we stand right now and the logic that's driving our profitability.

    因此,在談論期貨之前,我想先回顧一下我們目前的狀況以及推動我們獲利的邏輯。

  • First of all, industry that we are in, the video industry is a very large market, and China itself is the largest stand-alone market.

    首先我們所在的產業,視訊產業是一個非常大的市場,中國本身是最大的單機市場。

  • And video is a large business.

    影片是一門大生意。

  • And within that industry, Bilibili has built a very unique one-of-a-kind PUGV community in China video market known for the high-quality video content, and we have secured that user mindset.

    在該行業內,Bilibili 在中國視頻市場上建立了一個非常獨特的 PUGV 社區,以高品質的視訊內容而聞名,並且我們已經獲得了用戶心態。

  • So when we are thinking about where to find highest quality of content or to find talented content creators, what's the go-to destination for mid to longer length of videos, Bilibili is always the number one brand name that pops up.

    因此,當我們思考哪裡可以找到最高品質的內容或有才華的內容創作者、中長篇影片的首選目的地是哪裡時,Bilibili 總是第一個浮現出來的品牌名稱。

  • And you can barely think of number two in this market.

    你幾乎想不到這個市場還有第二名。

  • And because video is such a large market, and video will serve as the main media platform for this outlet, the brand awareness, the user mindset is as precious as gold.

    而且由於視訊市場如此之大,而影片將作為這一管道的主要媒體平台,因此品牌知名度、用戶心態就如黃金一樣珍貴。

  • So as the adoption of 4G, 5G network, our market has evolved from lack of supply of video content to enough supply of video content.

    所以隨著4G、5G網路的普及,我們的市場從影片內容供給不足發展到影片內容供給充足。

  • And from users' perspective, they have evolved from wanting to look at any video to wanting to look at high-quality video, unique video.

    從用戶的角度來看,他們已經從想要看任何影片發展到想要看高品質的影片、獨特的影片。

  • So in some extent, we are experiencing an upgrade in content consumption in terms of video market.

    所以從某種程度上來說,我們正在經歷視訊市場內容消費的升級。

  • And riding on that trend, Bilibili has unique advantages because we have that user mindset and brand awareness about those high-quality, unique content.

    借助這一趨勢,嗶哩嗶哩擁有獨特的優勢,因為我們擁有針對這些高品質、獨特內容的用戶思維和品牌意識。

  • As we know that Bilibili has the highest condensity of Gen Z plus cohort, the 90s to 2000 generation, and because we have very high sticky user cohort and user retention rate over the past 15 years, our user has stayed and grown with us.

    我們知道,嗶哩嗶哩擁有最密集的Z世代+用戶群體,即90後到2000後的一代,而且由於我們在過去15年中擁有非常高的粘性用戶群體和用戶留存率,我們的用戶一直留在我們身邊並與我們一起成長。

  • And the average age of Bilibili now has come to 25 year old.

    如今B站的平均年齡已經達到了25歲。

  • So 25 also means their commercial value is increasing every day.

    所以25也意味著他們的商業價值每天都在增加。

  • That's why we see this as an inevitable trend that our commercialization will accelerate, and it's a natural outcome of reaching profitability.

    所以我們認為這是我們商業化加速的必然趨勢,也是實現獲利的自然結果。

  • And going forward, we think there's vast potential for our commercialization to be unleashed.

    展望未來,我們認為我們的商業化潛力巨大。

  • And in the future -- in the past, we have stated our focus will be focusing on community growth and commercial growth.

    而在未來——過去我們曾表示,我們的重點將放在社區發展和商業成長。

  • After reaching the profitability, our focus will remain unchanged.

    在達到獲利之後,我們的重點不會改變。

  • On commercialization, I'll share one thing, that is, we will remain even more focused on the core business, such as games and advertising.

    關於商業化,我分享一個觀點,就是我們會更專注於核心業務,像是遊戲、廣告等。

  • Because for those two business segments, they have higher market TAM, and by its nature, it has higher gross margin.

    因為這兩個業務部門擁有較高的市場TAM,本質上擁有較高的毛利率。

  • And that will result in more efficiency in terms of our commercialization growth.

    這將提高我們的商業化成長效率。

  • And the success of our commercialization will also support the prosperity of our content ecosystem, and we have been pursuing that formation of the positive flywheel effect between content ecosystem and our commercialization growth.

    我們商業化的成功也將支持我們內容生態系統的繁榮,我們一直在追求內容生態系統和商業化成長之間形成正面的飛輪效應。

  • As a matter of fact, in the first nine months of this year, leveraging our various commercial outlet, 2.7 million content creators have received income on Bilibili platform, and those commercialization, in one way, is helping our content creators to realize their commercial value and, hence, motivate their further and more content creation.

    事實上,今年前九個月,透過各種商業管道,已經有270萬內容創作者在嗶哩嗶哩平台上獲得了收入,這些商業化在某種程度上幫助我們的內容創作者實現了他們的商業價值從而激勵他們進一步創作更多內容。

  • And one thing I wanted to emphasize is that for Bilibili's commercialization outlets, it's more than just advertising because we are a comprehensive platform, and we provide more tools beyond advertising to help them realize their commercial value, establishing connection between their followers.

    我想強調的一點是,對於嗶哩嗶哩的商業化管道來說,它不僅僅是廣告,因為我們是一個綜合平台,我們提供除了廣告之外的更多工具來幫助他們實現商業價值,建立與粉絲之間的連結。

  • For example, on top of the native ad Sparkle advertising platform, we have our Fan-charging program.

    例如,在原生廣告Sparkle廣告平台之上,我們還有粉絲充電計畫。

  • We also have a Crafts Studio to encourage content creators to monetize their still, such as handcrafts and drawing, and also Premium Courses to help them make money in various ways.

    我們還設有一個工藝工作室,鼓勵內容創作者將他們的靜態作品(例如手工藝品和繪畫)貨幣化,還有高級課程,幫助他們透過各種方式賺錢。

  • The profitability in Q3 is just a beginning, and we look forward to form a positive flywheel effect formed by our content ecosystem and commercialization growth.

    第三季的獲利只是一個開始,我們期待內容生態和商業化成長能夠形成正面的飛輪效應。

  • And the growth of our commercialization will, in fact, help Bilibili to become an even healthier organization and achieve sustainable, profitable growth.

    事實上,我們商業化的成長將幫助嗶哩嗶哩成為一個更健康的組織,並實現可持續的獲利成長。

  • In Q3, we not only met our previous committed breakeven goal, but also exceeded by achieving an adjusted OP of RMB270 million.

  • This result demonstrates the potential of our business model.

    這結果證明了我們商業模式的潛力。

    我們第三季的營收成長了26%,毛利較去年同期大幅成長了76%,毛利率從25%上升了近10個百分點至接近35%。

  • This improvement was mainly due to the increase of shares of the high-margin game and advertising revenue, along with the effective control of our fixed costs.

    這項改善主要得益於高利潤的遊戲和廣告收入份額的增加,以及我們對固定成本的有效控制。

  • We believe that with the continued growth of our advertising and gaming business, there are further room for long-term improvement in our gross profit margin.

    我們相信,隨著廣告及遊戲業務的持續成長,我們的毛利率還有進一步長期提升的空間。

  • Additionally, it's worth mentioning that our operating cash flow reached RMB2.2 billion in Q3, with the operating cash flow for the first three quarters reaching RMB4.6 billion.

    另外值得一提的是,我們第三季的經營現金流已經達到了22億元,前三季的經營現金流已經達到了46億元。

  • This indicates that our business is heading to a healthy positive cycle.

    這顯示我們的業務正在走向健康的良性循環。

  • That's also the background why we announced in our financial report the USD200 million repurchase plan to be carried out over the next 24 months to increase our return to our shareholders.

    這也是我們在財務報告中宣布將在未來24個月內實施2億美元回購計畫以增加對股東的回報的背景。

  • Looking ahead to Q4, if you look at our deferred revenue balance, that balance in the end of Q3 increased by RMB380 million quarter over quarter, laying a solid foundation for Q4.

    展望第四季度,如果你看我們的遞延收入餘額,第三季末的餘額比上一季增加了3.8億元人民幣,為第四季奠定了堅實的基礎。

  • So we expect the revenue from gaming and advertising business to maintain a strong growth momentum, with further quarter-over-quarter improvements in gross profit margin, and deliver further improved non-GAAP operating income.
