Thank you, Jane. Thank you all for joining us. We're extremely pleased with our results this quarter. This is not only because we delivered 59% unprecedented revenue growth since we became a public company; it is also because when I look at each of our business segments across the board, we have establish strong competitive positions and firm foundations for future growth. On our Investor Day in June, we shared with you plans and insights into our businesses as well as the strong management team that's behind them. Now, I'm happy to report that we are executing well against our plan and that each of our businesses has positive momentum and sustainable traction. Before Daniel discusses our performance, driven by the massive scale and leverage of our ecosystem, I'd like to share a few observations with you. My first observation is about the tremendous value proposition of our e-commerce platform, which is the destination for 434 million highly-engaged active consumers in China. Our China retail revenue growth rate at 49% year-on-year might have surprised many, given economic headwinds and reduced expectations from the industry. However, we never had any doubt that we would be able to deliver increasing monetization of our users. In other words, this is a decoupling of revenue growth from GMV, which is something we started to communicate to you two quarters ago. We gave you the heads up because we had confidence in building a platform with consumer engagement of the highest value in the industry. Features that focus on community, sharing, originality, immediacy and data-driven customization are capturing the imagination of today's generation of young consumers. Just for reference, 75% of users on the Taobao app are below 35 years of age. In turn, our high-value and highly-engaged users attract brands and merchants who increasingly…

Thank you, Daniel. Hello, everyone. We had a very strong quarter. Here are some highlights. Number one, revenue growth accelerated from last quarter, growing at 59% year-on-year to RMB32.2 billion, with China retail marketplace revenue growing 49% year-on-year; number two, about mobile monetization, I still remember that during IPO Roadshow, this was the question that we got, asking in every single investor meeting. You wanted to know whether our mobile take-rate would approach PCs and was it even possible for our mobile take-rate to exceed PCs. What we said at that time was that we were very confident this could happen. So today, I'm very glad to report to you that our mobile take-rate reached 2.8%, surpassing PC's take-rate for the first time. This is a very important milestone. Number three, Cloud Computing revenue grew 156% year-on-year, and the segment adjusted EBITA loss narrowed to US$24 million. Number four, our Core Commerce segment generated adjusted EBITA of US$2.5 billion, an increase of 38% year-over-year, representing 61% margin. Starting from this quarter, we will report to you our segment financials. Here is a summary chart. We now have four reporting segments: Core Commerce, Cloud Computing, Digital Media and Entertainment, and Innovation Initiatives and Others. We present the segmental information to reflect how we manage our business to maximize efficiency in allocating resources. It also provides further transparency to our various businesses that are executing in different phases of growth and operating leverage trajectories. The report is after elimination of the inter-company transactions. Before we move to a detailed segment discussion, I'm going to present to you our consolidated results first. On year-on-year business, the growth rates for both our total revenue and China commerce retail revenue this quarter were the highest among all the reported quarters since our IPO. Total revenue…

Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question-and-answer session. Your first question comes from the line of Eddie Leung from Merrill Lynch. Please ask your questions.

Good evening. Thank you for taking my questions. You have mentioned quite a bit the reasons behind the strong growth of your marketing revenues. I'm just curious on your commission revenues. There has been some decent growth as well; it has been tracking faster than your GMV growth. So wondering if you could share some color on the decent commission revenue growth? And then secondly, a little bit about the recently launched advertising regulation. Should we expect any impact on your business, say related to the tax rate or the format of advertisement? Thank you.

Thank you, Eddie. For your two questions, number one, commission revenue growth. The strong growth is coming from mainly two things. First of all is the strong growth of the GMV, especially Tmall GMV. And second thing is the category mix. So we have, those are relatively higher commission level category, growing faster than some of these lower ones, such as top-up fees. Your second question about the SAIC new rules impact, I think when we talk about impact, the impact possibly coming from two things. One is the tax; the other is conversion rates after we put this advertisement local on our website. So for the tax part, if all the P4P revenue are to pay 3% culture tax, we've said this we will have a very minimal impact. We have approximately 1% of tax impact because our revenues are more diversified than the other players. And secondly, talk about the impact on the conversion rates and, therefore, to the revenue. We're currently testing the impact on this conversion CTR, we'll provide more updates. But so far, as what we've seen, we don't see any significant impact coming from that direction. So hope that helps.

Thank you, Maggie.

Next question, please.

Your next question comes from the line of Eric Sheridan from UBS. Please ask your question.

Thank you very much for taking the question. And thank you, also, for all the additional disclosure and color; I think investors are going to find that helpful. I wanted to come back to a topic that all the speakers discussed, which is the effort around branding and marketing. Maybe you can give us some sense of some of the key investments that need to be made to attack that opportunity over the next couple of years? And also, sort of what the state of conversations is with big partners? How far along we are in terms of acceptance of Alibaba broadly as a branding and marketing platform? And what that might do for growth for the medium- to long-term? Thank you so much. Daniel Yong Zhang - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Thank you. Actually, for this, because our platform actually now is well recognized by our brand partners and merchants as a user engagement, customer engagement platform rather than only a sales platform. So people want to actually spend more marketing dollar on our platform rather than just a trade marketing dollar. So actually, from our perspective, actually, we don't expect a very big investment in terms of dollar investment to make this happen because the things we are doing is more like to try to upgrade our platform, especially in building up the unified ID program, which can help our merchants to recognize, reach and interact with the customers across platforms. So that may be the major efforts we are making to make this happen. And today, we are working very well with a lot of brand partners who have been with us for a long time on Tmall. And all these brands are now experiencing digital transformation, and all of them, they want to spend their marketing dollar in a digital way, but what we can help them is not only just, for example, to switch their TV ads to an online TV ads, but most importantly, not only to help them gain exposure but also help them to engage with the customer and finally convert to the real sales. So that's the value we provide to our partners, and the people, over time, they recognize this and they are moving forward to working closely with us on the customer engagements. Thanks.

Next question, please.

Your next question comes from the line of Robert Peck from SunTrust. Please ask the question.

Yes. Thank you so much. Two questions, please. One is, I was wondering, Maggie, if we could dig just a little further into the monetization side. Could you give us a little more color around the core advertising ad loads and ad growth, CPCs and growth clicks and growth-effective CPMs? I think you did give us a little bit of data on the advertisers, but more of the components just building up the marketing side of that. And then question number two on cloud; could you just talk to us about how big you think this could be? And how we should think about the cadence of that growth? And as we think about run-rate margins on that business, what that could look like? Thanks so much.

Thank you. So for the revenue growth, obviously, we see this robust growth coming from China, regional marketplace is mainly from online marketing services. I think fundamentally, this growth reflects our broader and deeper value proposition to both buyers and sellers just as we discussed in depth during the Investor Day. So our value proposition already go beyond distribution to marketing, branding, customer acquisition, retention, et cetera. So this is reflected in many aspects. For example, if you look at our Taobao app, the daily active user level grow very nicely. And you can also look from the technical point of view where this online marketing revenue growth is driven by this number of paying merchants and their increased spending with us. So why they are willing to spend more; they have their own calculations to ROI, right? That's because they recognize the higher consumer engagement, these kind of value we provided to them. So that is their recognition of this. In terms of the AliCloud, we've talked about, Cloud right now still growing at three digits, and it gets very close to the breakeven point. Having said that, I think at this stage of time our first priority is still continue to extend our market leadership rather than chasing after making profit, higher profitability level, although we believe eventually this business profit will show and it will grow.

Operator, next question, please.

Your next question comes from Alex Yao from JPMorgan. Please ask a question. Alex Yao - JPMorgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Ltd.: Hi. Good morning, and good evening, everyone. Thank you for taking my question. Just two quick ones. Number one is, can you talk about what is driving the second consecutive quarter of Taobao GMV acceleration? And then secondly, with the increasing consumption of content and social elements on your platform, particularly China retail platform, what would be the key impact for accretion? For example, will this lead to an increase of buying content via external parties, or a reduction in buying traffic from external sources or a need for more cross-sell activities across the entire group? Thank you. Daniel Yong Zhang - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Thank you. This is Daniel. I will answer these two questions. For the first one, for Taobao GMV growth, actually, we always view Taobao, again, as another transactional marketplace. And we, especially in the – after a successful mobile transition, we think Taobao is a very effective customer engagement platform. And we add more and more social features and services in Taobao mobile app, which effectively extend the – improve the visiting frequency. And as I said in my script and today, averagely people come to Taobao mobile app seven times a day, and which very greatly improved the stickiness of the users. And this actually – if people come more and they can discover more and which give the highly likelihood of conversion to the final sales, I think this is one of the main reasons for the growth of – the continuous growth of the GMV. And this is also relevant to your second question, which is that social features – adding the social features. Actually, we tried to build up connections not only between buyer and the sellers but also between buyers and especially the buyers with different – buyers with same hobbies and preference. And they can share and they can comments with each other and they can share with each other. And this creates a lot of new demand from customers. So today, Taobao is more like a social commerce app rather than a marketplace.

Next question, please.

Your next question comes from the line of Alan Hellawell from Deutsche Bank. Please ask your questions.

Great. Thank you very much. Sorry, to go back to a number that's been repeated a couple of times now, the average Taobao user launching the app seven times per day; can you give us a sense as to how that compares year-on-year? And maybe reflect on any particular social overlay that really drove that increased frequency of launch? And then secondly, with regard to the monetization of UCWeb users, I'd love to get a sense as to maybe how much comes from search, display, app download, and how we should think about that contributing to the mobile entertainment group, going forward. Thank you. Daniel Yong Zhang - Chief Executive Officer & Director: We do see people come more often and over time after we adding more and more features to our Taobao mobile app, because people get a lot of things, more than they expected. So they can come more often, but having said that, in mobile phone people come more frequently but spend – for every single visit they spend less time, but overall speaking people – actually we can engage people with longer time and which give us a lot of opportunities to realize the commercial value. And for the second question, actually, today we help the buyers, they spend time on our mobile app and they will actually not only to find for the listings but also to a lot of contents and including the live stream contents. So by this kind of consumption and people will find a lot of fun so that's why we said Taobao is a platform for entertainment.

And, Alan, to answer your question on monetization of UCWeb users. They are, as you know, the second largest mobile search platform in China. So mobile search is definitely one source of revenue and the second source of revenue is coming from newsfeeds and they have built this product over the past few months that is gaining a lot of traction. So those are the two main sources of monetization of the users and, as you know, the newsfeeds as well as search, as more users come, the inventory that's going to be created is going to expand.

Next question, please.

Your next question comes from the line of Mark Mahaney from RBC. Please ask your question.

Great. Two questions, please. Congratulations on getting your mobile monetization rates above desktop, but you're right, that was the single biggest issue at the time of the IPO. So the follow-on question has to be, can you talk about where you think those monetization rates can go long term? I'm sure that they can rise, but are there any governors to how high those monetization rates can go? And then, Maggie, also you talked about the breakeven point for cloud; I assume there's a lot of discretionary decisions behind that. But is there an obvious level to you, a volume level at which the cloud computing segment reaches breakeven and starts sliding up into profitability? Or is it purely discretionary for the next year or two? Thank you.

Sure, Mark. Thank you for remembering that IPO's popular question. For the take-rate, as we mentioned during the Investor Day, that our value proposition is much broader than distribution. We are already providing other values likes branding, marketing, all of that. So that it would be incomplete to use the revenue divided by GMV, which is the take-rate as a measure for our monetization level, because the GMV only represents our value proposition on the distribution part of a value, right. So literally speaking, since we've found more value so the revenue going to come in from the other value we provided, so the take-rate will go up. So how further it will go, I don't have an exact answer to that, but we're very confident that it will definitely move up in the future. And for the Cloud, I think when would be the point for breakeven in the search. I think what – as I said, currently, the whole team is still focusing on keep expanding the market leadership, expanding our customer base. And the customer base is one important, actually, measure for – to tell the progress of the business. The other thing, of course, is expansion of the product service. Right now we have 577,000. I think when we get to 1 million, it will be a pretty good point that we have a quite solid customer base. And then the profitability, et cetera, will start to show.

Thanks.

Yeah, I just wanted to supplement Maggie's comments regarding Cloud Computing, and this is a very, very long game. To just take a step back, the entire IT sector in China is a $200 billion opportunity, hardware and software. So if you take 20% penetration and say 20% of that IT sector is going to eventually be on the cloud, that's US$40 billion. And if you say that cloud brings about 25% savings to the companies that use it, you still have $30 billion potentially of potential market size. But that's way into the future. As you could see, we are at a stage where we generated US$187 million in revenues this quarter in Cloud. That is still small relative to the size of the market. So we're in this for the very, very long game. And when you start to think about, gee, should I start to harvest and generate lots of revenue versus investing more to create more products and features in cloud to serve our customers? I think on balance, we want to invest in the near-term and the medium-term to continue to drive our leadership. Leadership in Cloud is about technology and is about products. And in the last quarter, we launched 319 new products and features in the Cloud. And we believe that is a pace that nobody can catch up to us in the China market, so very much focused on driving leadership as Maggie said. And I think the question on whether breakeven is a discretionary question or not is kind of moot. We want to focus on product, technology and market leadership.

Next question, please.

Thanks, Joe. Thank you, Maggie.

Your next question comes from the line of Alicia Yap from Citigroup. Please ask your question.

Hi. Good evening, management. Thanks for taking my questions. Two questions here. Number one, regarding the China retail's revenue, just try to get a sense of the robust 54% growth in the online marketing service revenue. How much of the improvement is due to higher spending on the P4P ads versus higher tractions to the display ads, and how should we look for this line, going forward? And then, given you're topping the first quarter revenue growth, is that mean there is potential upside for the full-year guidance that you provided earlier? And then second question is on the cloud, just a follow-up. Who do you think would be the potential biggest competitions in cloud for you? Will that be the AWS or will that be another Chinese company? Thank you.

All right, Alicia. For your first question on China retail marketplace revenue growth, the online marketing revenue growth is actually coming from both P4P and display ads, P4P growing more. Just now Bob also asked for a little bit more color on this growth. I kept saying that the fundamental reason for the growth is the broader value proposition, broader and deeper value provided to user and – the buyers and sellers because that is the reason. At the surface, you could see things like if you remember that last year in May and September, we added some inventory slots for ads. And right now this quarter, we start to see some full effect of that. But if you think about it, the deep reason for that is we have been operating and manage to increase the user engagement and to help merchants by utilizing the data, give them the tools to better manage these consumers and improve the efficiency of their business. So that's where the spaces we open is more valuable so that these merchants are willing to pay more. So that is the reason. And you're asking about revenue guidance. Yeah, I gave the guidance of 48% plus year-on-year growth for total revenue as a group for fiscal 2017. I'm going to remain that guidance unchanged, we'll not adjust. Why? Because I mean this is our first quarter of this year. We're still in early stage in terms of growth and the integration of new businesses. And when I gave this 48%-plus guidance to the market, we already largely exceeded the market expectation. It is a pretty high goal. So therefore, we rather remain in unchanged for now. For your second question...

Yeah, the second question, Alicia, I'll answer the second question on Cloud. I think the question is: who's our competitors? There're a lot of competitors. I mean there're real competitors and there're pretenders in cloud computing and obviously, globally, you have some really serious players like AWS and Microsoft Azure as well as Google getting into the space. But I like to take a step back because I don't think that's the right question. I think the right question is: what does it take to be competitive in cloud? So we've been in this business for seven years, all right. And the reason we're in it is because Alibaba is the biggest internal customer of a cloud computing infrastructure. We got into it because we have use cases. We have huge amounts of data. We have massive amounts of storage needs. And therefore, we developed the cloud products for ourselves first, and then they are strong enough and good enough to be – open up to third-party customers. I think if you look at the history, the real winners are going to be those that have real use cases themselves and also use the cloud platforms efficiently themselves because that's how you can gain operating scale, scale of economies as well as cost efficiencies. It's also the pre-condition for the cloud player to continue to develop and invest in technology and products. As I said, that is absolutely the total priority for our Cloud Computing business, to launch new products and features. And at the rate of launching 319 in a quarter, I don't think anybody in China is going to be able to match that. Otherwise, it will just take them massive amounts of investment and costs to catch up. So I think it's important to understand what it takes to be competitive.

Next question, please.

Your next question comes from the line of Chi Tsang from HSBC. Please ask the question. Chi Tsang - The Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corp. Ltd. (Broker): Good evening, and morning, everybody. Thanks for taking my question. Congratulations on a great set of results and a really, really good disclosure. I had two questions. Firstly, getting back to your value proposition to brands and merchants, can you help us understand how much your brands and merchants are spending on your platform today as a percentage of their revenue, and what benchmark we should use to gauge how high this figure can go? Secondly, I wanted to ask you a little bit about margins. So margins for the Core Commerce business was 61%; very, very strong versus high 50%s previously. This is clearly demonstrating high operating leverage for this business. Does this mark a new level of sustainable profitability for your business, or might you spend some of those margins, going forward? Thank you. Daniel Yong Zhang - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Okay. Let me answer the first question. Actually today, for most of the brands on our platform, when they spend marketing dollar, they don't just measure the effectives of the marketing dollar by the immediate sales. On top of it, they measure this as a cost of a customer acquisition. So that's why more and more people want to spend more dollar on our platform and to engage the customers. So this is also very, very important for our brand to digitalize, to transform – to get a successful transformation of their entire business into a digital business. Not only it has an e-commerce channel and that has a separate sales channel and have a separate trade marketing dollar to promote their products and get their immediate sales. So that's why we see great potential when we integrate our retail platforms with our newly acquired media metrics and this, we believe, can bring a huge value to the brands in their digital transformation.

Right. Regarding to your second question about the margin, obviously we have a very, very high margin for our Core business and even with some investments we made in this quarter, it's still stayed 61%. So whether that margin never going to be sustainable, how we think about this margin, I think first of all the Core business do have operating leverage and secondly, it stays at very high margin level. Secondly, we are pretty much sure that we going to further invest because we have that luxury. If you look at the business that we're talking about today, even for the Core business, the marketplace business, we have tremendous growth potential. The international, the globalization, the rural areas, the FMCG, we wouldn't be hesitate to invest them all. So for Tmall Supermarket for FMCG, while the other company is talking about US$1 billion (55:43) investments, we are willing to invest multi-times of that number, because this is just a category that we think we should be in with great potential and we are the one could provide better service in this area.

Next question, please.

Your last question comes from the line of Ken Sena from Evercore ISI. Please ask your question.

Hi. Thank you. Thank you for the questions. Just going back to maybe the seven-time launch a day for the DAUs, you also provided the DAU over MAU measure of 40%; are you willing to provide any time lapse on that as far as maybe prior year for that DAU/MAU measure? Then also in terms of your traction outside of China, you have 40% of revenues now, very nice growth, there's a bit of inorganic in there. But maybe could you say a little bit more of just where you are and how pleased you are with the traction that you're having in markets outside of China? Thank you. Daniel Yong Zhang - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Yeah, today, our DAU versus MAU is 40% and actually we are very happy to see that actually this is a result of a very continuous upward trend in the past few quarters, but having said that, actually this trend is – actually DAU versus MAU actually the trend is upward but it takes time to grow. And because you have to get a continuous engagement and traction with the customer during the very life – long time lifecycle and the people can get used to come back more frequently. But we are confident that of our continuous upgrade of our services and especially data-driven services with social features and we can get more people to come back and sign up in the future.

I want to answer your second question. First of all, you referred to the proportion of revenue that's coming from international. I wanted to point out that there's a very big part of our international activity that's generating revenues, but that is not captured in the so called international segment and that's because that's a cross-border activity with us bringing in imports from all over the world for Chinese consumers. So in terms of our expansion internationally, that's cross-border activity is very much part of our globalization efforts as we see it, even though that's not captured in our financial results. And with respect to the import business, we have established many locations in Europe as well as the United States as well as Japan, Korea to source and bring in brands and merchants onto our platform. We have a ready-made platform that's Tmall Global for them to come in initially. There are lot of brands that are very curious about China entry but they're very, in a way, worried about coming into the China market without any data, without any testing. And this is where we can really help them because we can bring them consumers and we can bring them data. So all that international activity is going very well. The other aspect of international is that, as you see, we've made some acquisition and investments in the emerging markets. We acquired the majority control of Lazada in an effort to start to serve local consumers in Southeast Asia. And that's something that we have decided that that's going to be a very important potential market for us. It's a market with over 500 million potential consumers, and Lazada is operating in six different countries. And so far, we've started to integrate that business starting this past quarter, and so far, the integration efforts have been going very well. The other emerging market is in India, where we have decided to play some very strategically located assets in that market. We invested jointly with Ant Financial into a company called Paytm, which is the largest mobile wallet company in India. We think mobile and payment are going to be important strategic assets for us in that market. And as you probably know, UCWeb also has the number one position as the mobile browser in India. So I think we're very well strategically positioned in these emerging markets, and that's the start of our international activity.

This concludes the presentation. Thank you for participation. You may all disconnect.
