  • Hey, thanks for taking my question.

    嘿,謝謝你回答我的問題。

  • I was wondering, I noticed, you certainly highlighted the growth in the brand clients, and my question had to do with the B2B side of the house.

    我想知道,我注意到,您確實強調了品牌客戶的成長,而我的問題與 B2B 方面有關。

  • I'm wondering what the situation is with your enterprise clients as far as their ability to potentially start to spend more money on services such as yours.

    我想知道你們的企業客戶是否有能力開始在像你們這樣的服務上花更多的錢。

  • What's the situation with the B2B, especially given that it has the higher margins, and will that, would you anticipate a return to growth there in 2025?

    B2B 的情況如何,尤其是考慮到它具有更高的利潤率,您是否預計 2025 年它會恢復成長?

  • What should we look for there?

    我們應該在那裡尋找什麼?

  • And then I guess sort of the follow up to that would be.

    然後我想接下來的事情會是這樣的。

  • How does the B2B revenue play into your, 13.5% to 14.5% growth guidance for 2025?

    B2B 營收在您 2025 年 13.5% 至 14.5% 的成長預期中佔了什麼比例?

  • Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

    Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

  • Thank you, Pat.

    謝謝你,帕特。

  • So, the B2B market, I would say still remains challenging, last year, certainly on the previous year, we have challenges from inflation and cost, more recently, we start hearing clients, certainly worry about potential tariffs that may come, later in the year, so they are certainly cautious.

    所以,我想說,B2B 市場仍然充滿挑戰,去年,當然是前一年,我們面臨通貨膨脹和成本的挑戰,最近,我們開始聽到客戶擔心今年晚些時候可能出現的潛在關稅,所以他們肯定很謹慎。

  • And what exactly will be the impact to their financials that may turn, their spending plans.

    這究竟會對他們的財務狀況和支出計畫產生什麼影響呢?

  • So, the pipeline remains very solid.

    因此,管道仍然非常穩固。

  • The interest from the B2B brands are still there, they are investing, they want to be more digital.

    B2B 品牌的興趣仍然存在,他們正在投資,他們希望更加數位化。

  • This is where we play the role.

    這正是我們發揮作用的地方。

  • However, we understand that they are not yet ready to write a big check.

    然而,我們知道他們還沒準備好開出一張大支票。

  • So, we see that the renewal rate for the business continues to be healthy.

    因此,我們看到業務更新率持續保持健康。

  • So, they will continue to use what they're already using, but the expansion to -- have a more a -- growth, I think it still remains to be proven and we will vigilant about the market and how the world economy will play, and this may affect their cost structure from that perspective.

    因此,他們將繼續使用他們已經在使用的東西,但擴張以實現更多的成長,我認為這還有待考證,我們將對市場和世界經濟的表現保持警惕,從這個角度來看,這可能會影響他們的成本結構。

  • But the good news is we are spending our time into newer markets, so our total addressable client groups or its market geography spending again partially because of the one acquisition as we are sending to newer categories that we were not previously present or only start to -- get into the market and that potentially contribute in the growth.

    但好消息是我們正在把時間投入到新的市場中,因此我們的總可尋址客戶群或其市場地理支出再次部分歸功於一次收購,因為我們正在向以前沒有涉及或才剛開始進入市場的新類別投入資金,這可能會促進增長。

  • The guidance that we have provided certainly is based on current visibility.

    我們提供的指導當然是基於當前的可見性。

  • We didn't want to, just have a big talk and have it overly optimistic without seeing the markets moving.

    我們不想在沒有看到市場動向的情況下,只是誇誇其談並過度樂觀。

  • So, we are cautiously optimistic about that since there's no really real competition in the segment that we are, we remain a solid leader in this space.

    因此,我們對此持謹慎樂觀的態度,因為我們所在的領域並沒有真正的競爭,我們仍然是該領域的堅實領導者。

  • So, I believe that once the market open and probably bounce stronger assumption, it may drive more revenue in there.

    因此,我相信,一旦市場開放並可能出現更強勁的反彈,它可能會帶來更多的收入。

  • The total guidance for 2025, we expect that, the B2C revenue is growing faster than the B2B continuously for the last, a year or two.

    對於 2025 年的整體指導,我們預計,在過去的一兩年內,B2C 收入的成長速度將持續快於 B2B。

  • So, we expect that, the B2B revenue may be somewhere between 30% to 40% of the total revenue in this year, pursuant to our guidance model.

    因此,根據我們的指導模型,我們預計 B2B 收入可能佔今年總收入的 30%到 40%之間。

  • Let me just follow up on your last answer.

    讓我跟進一下你上一個回答。

  • If you're thinking that next year B2B is going to be 30% to 40%, what was it last year?

    如果您認為明年 B2B 的比例將達到 30% 到 40%,那麼去年是多少?

  • Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

    Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

  • So last year I see was, 40% we are finishing our auditing with the audit service.

    去年我發現,我們有 40% 的審計工作透過審計服務完成。

  • So, the B2C part has become the bigger part of the oral business in 2024.

  • Lisa Thompson - Analyst

  • And in looking at what your kind of earnings plan is for the year, do you think that you're going to be able to reduce operating expenses to keep in line with the reduction in gross margin because of that and then come out kind of the same as you did last year?

    在考慮您今年的獲利計劃時,您是否認為您可以減少營運費用,以跟上毛利率的下降,然後與去年的業績保持一致?

  • Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

    Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

  • I think we are, still investing and I think we still, smaller scale to stop investing.

    我認為我們仍在投資,而且我認為我們仍將以較小的規模停止投資。

  • So, I think the opportunities is quite big there.

    所以,我認為那裡的機會很大。

  • The expense in the net income is positive, the operating income is virtually almost break even, so that's not really a key concern, especially with the capital that we have to invest in the growth.

    淨收入中的支出是正的,營業收入幾乎可以收支平衡,所以這並不是一個主要問題,特別是考慮到我們必須在成長中投入的資本。

  • I think now we expansion into newer categories coming up with new products, especially in AI innovation, we will continue to invest, noting that, we increase, any significant differences between what our expense model has been in the previous few years.

    我認為現在我們正在擴展到新的類別並推出新的產品,特別是在人工智慧創新方面,我們將繼續投資,同時注意到,我們將增加與前幾年的費用模式之間的任何顯著差異。

  • So, in a nutshell, I think we will try to run the model with financial discipline to make sure that it's not, creating financial pressures, but at the same time continue to invest in AI development, research and growing the R&D team.

    所以,簡而言之,我認為我們將嘗試按照財務紀律來運行該模型,以確保它不會產生財務壓力,但同時繼續投資於人工智慧開發、研究和壯大研發團隊。

  • Can I just have one question on Wanna.

    我可以就 Wanna 提一個問題嗎?

  • Can you talk about that landscape as far as competition?

    能談談競爭方面的狀況嗎?

  • I know you dominate beauty.

    我知道你主宰著美麗。

  • What does it look like in the fashion landscape?

    在時尚界它看起來是什麼樣的?

  • Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

    Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

  • Yeah, so Wanna is certainly been the leader in the fashion space.

    是的,所以 Wanna 無疑是時尚領域的領導者。

  • They have more than two dozen big logos, big names such as Valentino, [Valenciaga], Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and more.

    他們有二十多個大標誌,如Valentino、[Valenciaga]、Louis Vuitton、Gucci等大牌。

  • So, I think there's not really much competition after we acquired Wanna.

    所以,我認為我們收購 Wanna 之後競爭就不會太激烈了。

  • So, after the integration we really become the AI/AR powerhouse for fashion and beauty virtual trial market.

    因此,整合之後,我們真正成為了時尚和美容虛擬試用市場的 AI/AR 強者。

  • There may be, a few other smaller startups that are, in the shoes market or only doing certain watches market but not in the scale and reach that can compete with us.

    可能還有其他一些規模較小的新創公司,它們涉足鞋類市場或僅從事某些手錶市場,但其規模和影響力無法與我們競爭。

  • So, I think the strategic merger really create this opportunity to become the one shop for the luxury brands, especially for the top luxury brands.

    因此,我認為此次策略合併確實創造了這個機會,使之成為奢侈品牌,特別是頂級奢侈品牌的一站式商店。

  • They rely on global teams.

    他們依賴全球團隊。

  • They rely on bigger, more established organizations to provide services to them.

    他們依靠更大、更成熟的組織為他們提供服務。

  • And I think Wanna was part of the Farfetch, which is again it's a great company, great group, and now part of Perfect Corp, a more established global leader in technology.

    我認為 Wanna 曾經是 Farfetch 的一部分,而 Farfetch 又是一家偉大的公司、偉大的集團,現在它已成為 Perfect Corp 的一部分,而 Perfect Corp 是一家更成熟的全球技術領導者。

  • We are confident that we can give you extra runway for this business to grow and really become a dominant player across both beauty and fashion.

    我們相信,我們可以為您的企業發展提供額外的空間,讓您真正成為美容和時尚領域的主導者。

  • Oh great, thank you so much for taking my question and congrats on a very solid fourth quarter results.

    哦,太好了,非常感謝您回答我的問題,並祝賀您取得了非常穩健的第四季度業績。

  • I have one of the questions regarding gross margin.

    我有一個關於毛利率的問題。

  • Gross margin declined 6% quarter over quarter.

    毛利率季減6%。

  • I understand the year over year decline because the B2C part is higher, but like the B2C business is more.

    我理解同比下降的原因,因為 B2C 部分較高,但 B2C 業務更多。

  • But why did we see a 6% decline quarter over quarter and like if you can just give us what the key drivers behind this compression were.

    但為什麼我們會看到季度環比下降 6% 呢?

  • Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

    Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

  • Yes, Hi Aashi.

    是的,嗨,Aashi。

  • So, I think the fourth quarter, the good news is the B2C was growing at a faster pace than we expected.

    因此,我認為第四季度的好消息是 B2C 的成長速度比我們預期的要快。

  • So, the overall revenue contribution from B2C versus B2B in the fourth quarter was much higher than we expected, and that's how the overall growth margin has a bigger dip.

    因此,第四季B2C相對於B2B的整體營收貢獻遠高於我們的預期,這就是整體成長幅度出現更大下降的原因。

  • I think it's not expected, but I think it's really more maybe a one-time thing because for the shopping season was driving in a good sale, where people getting new smartphones or they are downloading new apps, or they are subscribing new apps.

    我認為這不是預料之中的,但我認為這可能更像是一次性的事情,因為購物季節會帶來很好的銷售,人們會購買新的智慧型手機,或者下載新的應用程序,或者訂閱新的應用程式。

  • We have seen this pattern typically, in seasonality pattern, the quarter four will have that impact because the B2C is bigger.

    我們通常看到這種模式,在季節性模式中,第四季會產生這種影響,因為 B2C 規模更大。

  • Just this year it was a lot more bigger and growing faster than we expected.

    光是今年,它的規模就比我們預期的要大得多,而且成長速度也更快。

  • On the other hand, B2B continues to be challenging in quarter four, right, so the revenue contribution from B2B was slightly lower than we expected that also contributed to the drop in the growth margin for the 2025 year, I think we expect that that may gradually come up slightly.

    另一方面,B2B 在第四季度繼續面臨挑戰,因此 B2B 的營收貢獻略低於我們的預期,這也導致了 2025 年的成長幅度下降,我認為我們預計這一數字可能會逐漸略有上升。

  • Aashi Shah - Analyst

    Aashi Shah - Analyst

  • Okay, but it does not go back to 2023 levels.

    好的,但它不會回到 2023 年的水平。

  • Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

    Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

  • Correct, yeah.

    是的,正確。

  • I think in 2023 we our B2B business was about half of the total business.

    我認為到 2023 年我們的 B2B 業務約佔總業務的一半。

  • I think for this year, as I said earlier, we expect the B2B business to be more challenging, and if the B2C continues to grow really quick and fast, and the B2B contribution may drop to let's say 30% or a little bit over 30%.

    我認為,正如我之前所說,今年 B2B 業務將面臨更大挑戰,如果 B2C 繼續快速成長,B2B 的貢獻可能會下降到 30%或略高於 30%。

  • Aashi Shah - Analyst

    Aashi Shah - Analyst

  • Right, okay, and just another question relating to the acquisition like if you can give us the timeline for the full integration and also regarding the revenue split like, you said the revenue growth like the revenue guidance for is 13% to 14.5%.

    好的,好的,還有一個與收購有關的問題,例如,您能否給我們全面整合的時間表,以及關於收入分成,例如,您說收入增長(例如收入預期)是 13% 至 14.5%。

  • If you can just break down how much of that growth is expected to come from the acquisition and how much is the organic growth?

    您能否細分一下預期的成長中有多少來自收購,又有多少來自有機成長?

  • Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

    Louis Chen - EVP & Chief Strategy Officer

  • So, the deal just closed like 40, 45 days ago.

    所以,這筆交易大約在 40 到 45 天前完成。

  • So, the team is going through extensive integration work across all different departments.

    因此,該團隊正在對所有不同部門進行廣泛的整合工作。

  • So, we expect that will continue to happen in the first half of the year, meaning that, they go to market together as one team, as one platform will happen later in the year.

    因此,我們預計這種情況將在今年上半年繼續發生,這意味著,他們將作為一個團隊一起進入市場,一個平台將在今年稍後推出。

  • And with that, again, we try to do as soon as we can from sales marketing perspective, from product development, from customer service, customer (technical difficulty) So, if we are able to move very quickly on this, the revenue maybe the contribution of that new acquisition might come in earlier or in more meaningful way in this year.

    同時,我們再次嘗試盡快從銷售行銷角度、產品開發、客戶服務、客戶(技術難度)等方面採取行動,因此,如果我們能夠迅速採取行動,那麼新收購的收入貢獻可能會在今年更早或更有意義地實現。

  • The guidance that we have given them; we started with a quite conservative look into what the business are as is and you know how that contribute.

    我們給予他們的指導;我們一開始就對業務現狀進行了非常保守的審視,您知道這會做出什麼貢獻。

  • Again, one is a smaller startup, right?

    再說了,一家是規模較小的新創公司,對嗎?

  • There are about 30 employees.

    約有30名員工。

  • They have good clients like 20, 20 plus.

    他們擁有 20 多個優質客戶。

  • In contrast, we have like [700] right, so that gives you a perspective about the size of the acquisition.

    相較之下,我們有[700]對,這樣你就可以看到收購的規模。

  • So, it's not going to have a tremendous change overnight, but it's much more the new value that we can unlock after the integration is done.

    所以,它不會在一夜之間發生巨大的變化,但它更多的是我們在整合完成後可以釋放的新價值。

  • And then gradually as this process march forward and we may adjust our guidance depending on the market.

    然後隨著這個過程逐漸推進,我們可能會根據市場調整我們的指導。

  • Aashi Shah - Analyst

    Aashi Shah - Analyst

  • Great.

    偉大的。

  • And just one more if we have the time, like strategically, where do you see increasing your investment going into the new year like to take advantage of the adoption of AI like where do you -- where are you on, where are your top investment priorities from an incremental dollar perspective?

    如果我們有時間的話,我再問一個問題,例如從策略上講,您認為在新的一年裡會在哪些方面增加投資,例如利用人工智慧的採用,您目前處於什麼位置,從增量美元的角度來看,您的首要投資重點是什麼?

  • Alice Chang - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

  • AI is -- especially generates AI.

    人工智慧是——尤其是生成人工智慧。

  • It's all our focus right now from R&D side.

    從研發方面來看,這都是我們現在關注的重點。

  • So, you can see the evolving of a new AI model every month.

    因此,你每個月都可以看到一個新的 AI 模型的演變。

  • It's excited and recently the open model to the world.

    這令人興奮,最近它向世界開放了模式。

  • So, I think this is a great opportunity for the application services on top of this big models.

    所以,我認為這對於在這個大模型上開發應用服務是一個很好的機會。

  • So, by saying that R&D, no matter it's the head count or some of the server training GPU, all these things are the main focus, of course, digital marketing is still important, especially for B2C.

    所以說到研發,不管是人數還是一些伺服器訓練GPU,這些都是主要關注點,當然,數位行銷仍然很重要,特別是對於B2C而言。

  • If not buying app, then all the effort we put is in digital marketing to attract all the worldwide app users to come to us.

    如果不購買應用程序,那麼我們所付出的所有努力都將用於數位行銷,以吸引全球應用程式用戶來找我們。

  • So AI is the whole focus of R&D this year and I think it's for the next 5 to 10 years, but the speed of investment, I can see it fast and because the whole ecosystem evolved so fast, we pay very high attention to the market and recent development of the market, I think it's a very pro to service providers like us.

    因此,人工智慧是今年研發的重點,我認為也是未來5到10年的重點,但我可以看到投資速度很快,而且由於整個生態系統發展如此之快,我們非常關注市場和市場的最新發展,我認為這對我們這樣的服務提供者非常有利。

  • I think that's the future everybody needs it, and it's, pay by service kind of a business model and for B2B brands, we have a perfect GPT and now ready for POC, we did have brands that they doing a POC -- trying to doing POC with us and again brands, their movement to this new AI, especially generative AI, the speed is not as fast, so we saw POC may take, may start before end of this year, and when testing, doing validation, B2C part will be faster.

    我認為這就是未來,每個人都需要它,這是一種按服務付費的商業模式,對於 B2B 品牌,我們擁有完美的 GPT,現在已準備好進行 POC,我們確實有一些品牌在進行 POC — — 嘗試與我們一起進行 POC,而且品牌向這種新 AI 的轉變,特別是生成性 AI,速度還沒有那麼快,所以我們可能會在今年年底看到 POC 部分,C 2 部分還沒有那麼快,所以我們可能會在今年年底,BOC 部分
