Each milestone reflects progress towards an AI native operating model. Our management team brings deep expertise across technology, finance and operations, led by our CEO, Mr. Haogang Yang; and supported by CFO, Mr. Chen Chen; CTO, Ms. WenJun Jiang; and CMO, Mr. Nan Zhang, the team continues to execute our strategy with discipline and a long-term focus. Financial data-wise, now let me talk -- walk you through our financial performance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, and provide some additional context around the key drivers behind these results. As of September 30, 2025, the company's total assets increased to $78 million compared to $59.2 million as of September 30, 2024, representing a 31.9% year-over-year increase. This growth was primarily driven by our continued investment in intangible assets, particularly those related to 3D digital assets and AI-related technologies. These investments reflect our deliberate strategy to strengthen Global Mofy's long-term technology foundation, expand our digital asset bank and support the transition towards AI native production workflows. Revenue for fiscal year 2025 increased to $55.9 million, representing a 35.3% increase from $41.4 million in fiscal year-end 2024. This growth was driven by sustained demand for virtual content production and 3D digital assets licensing business across multiple end markets, including film, television, advertising, game and digital tourism and et cetera. Demand remained resilient throughout the year, reflecting both the recovery of content production activity and increasing adoption of digital and AI-enabled production solutions. In addition, during fiscal year 2025, the company proactively responded to the active expansion of the short-form drama market by adopting an innovative cooperation model to participate in short-form drama investments and production projects. While still at a very early stage, we believe the continued expansion of this business line will further diversify our revenue streams and provide incremental revenue support over time, complementing our core virtual technology services. Gross profit and gross margin. Gross profit for fiscal year 2025 was at $22.5 million compared to $20.8 million in fiscal year 2024. Gross margin was 40.2% for the year. The year-over-year margin profile reflects a period of intentional investment as we continue to scale our AI native production infrastructure, expanded R&D initiatives and deployed AI agent-based workflows designed to support long-term automation and efficiency. While these investments weighed modestly on near-term margins, we believe they are critical to unlocking structural margin expansion in future periods, particularly as AI workflow mature and production efficiency continues to improve. Research and development expenses for the fiscal year of 2025 totaled to around $7.9 million compared to $7.4 million in fiscal year 2024, representing a 6.7% year-over-year increase. These investments were primarily focused on expanding and enhancing our 3D digital asset library to support growing AI-driven demand, advancing the development of AI-based generative tools and initiating AI-native production workflow research through the launch of Gauss AI Lab. We believe that these R&D efforts are essential to support long-term efficiency, scalability and intelligence production capabilities and position Global Mofy for sustained growth as AI native adoption accelerates across the digital content industry. Global Mofy is transitioning from using AI tools to embedding AI natively across production, data and workflows. Our growth strategy focused on international market expansion, especially in June 2025, Global Mofy made a strategic investment in Wetruck AI, a digital freight platform headquartered in Ethiopia, marking the company's first direct market entry into Africa and represents an important step in expanding the application of our AI capabilities beyond digital content into real-world infrastructure and logistics scenarios in emerging markets. Building on this foundation, in January 2026, the company recently established Eaglepoint AI, Inc., a Delaware-based AI infrastructure company, majority owned through our wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, GMM Discovery, LLC. Eaglepoint AI focused on AI data engineering, data governance and AI model training support, serving as a critical component of our global AI infrastructure plan out. Additional growth strategies also include strategic alliance and selective acquisitions, brand positioning as an AI-native content infrastructure provider, continued R&D investment in AIGC and asset expansion, enhanced customer experience through intelligent workflows, these strategies together underpin our long-term margin expansion and scalability. Thank you for your attention. And before we open the floor for questions, please note that the management team will be answering in Chinese for any discrepancies between the translated responses and the original answers. The original answers should be considered accurate. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about our financial performance, strategic initiatives, our market outlook. Operator, please open the line now for questions.

[Operator Instructions] We going to proceed with our first question. Question come from the line of [ Dona Young ] from Red Dragon.

Okay. Here's my first question. Could you explain how the company maintains a stable and strong revenue growth trajectory?

[Foreign Language]

[Interpreted] Okay. So I will now translate the question for our CFO, Mr. Chen Chen, for answer. I will now translate the answers from Mr. Chen Chen. In fiscal year 2025, the company achieved a revenue of USD 55.94 million, representing a 35.3% year-over-year increase and marking a record high in our history. Mr. Chen Chen emphasized that this growth was primarily driven by 3 factors: First, continued demand growth for 3D digital assets and models across multiple application areas, including film, vision, advertising and virtual cultural tourism. Second, the overall expansion of the film, TV and short drama market, which increased demand for high-quality virtual content production services. Third, in response to the rapid growing short drama market, the company adopted innovative cooperation models to enter short drama investment and production, further diversifying our revenue sources. Mr. Chen Chen emphasized that we believe the continued development of the short drama business will provide additional revenue support and diversification going forward.

I have the second question -- can you provide an outlook of future performance?

[Foreign Language] Thank you for your question. And I will now translate the question for Mr. Chen answer.

[Interpreted] Thank you, Mr. Chen Chen, and I will now translate Mr. Chen Chen's answer for your question. Mr. Chen Chen answered that building on the stable growth of our existing core business lines, the company expanded into short drama production in fiscal year 2025 as part of our virtual technology services and continue to advance our strategic planning in the AI agent space, which together strengthen our growth foundation. Looking ahead to fiscal year 2026, we expect to maintain strong growth momentum and further expand our market presence across key application areas through ongoing technological innovation, supporting sustainable and steady revenue growth over the long term.

[Operator Instructions] [Technical Difficulty] I am showing no further questions. So I'll now turn back to Celine Meng for closing remarks.

Operator, can you repeat one more time the directions to join the call.

[Operator Instructions] The next questions come from the line of Jason Liu from [indiscernible].

Can you hear me?

Yes, we can hear you.

I've got two questions. And the first one is over the next 3 to 5 years, will the company prioritize technical or ecosystem expansion? And how will resource be allocated?

[Foreign Language] And then I will now translate the question for our CTO, Ms. Wenjun Jiang, for answers.

[Interpreted] Thank you, Ms. Wenjun Jiang and I will now translate the answers from Ms. Wenjun Jiang. As CTO, Ms. Wenjun Jiang have just answered that we believe the technological depth and ecosystem expansion are complementary other than conflicting. Deepening our technology enables us to respond effectively to evolution market dynamics. While ecosystem expansion allows us to leverage existing technological strengths to attract more digital content, cultural tourism and entertainment projects, our resource allocation philosophy can be summarized as technology first and service-driven. Technology priority includes continued investment in AIGC and 3D reconstruction technologies, both of which form our core competitive advantages, serve expansion, including leveraging these technologies to broaden application scenarios and deliver more comprehensive solutions to clients. The company, Global Mofy will remain technology-driven while steadily expanding its ecosystem to achieve balanced growth and innovation. Thank you. We hope we have answered your question well. And if you have further questions, you may ask now.

Yes. I got one more question. The second one is, is short drama investment a long-term strategy or short-term monetization approach.

[Foreign Language]

[Interpreted] And I will now translate the question for our CTO, Ms. Wenjun Jiang for answers. Thank you, Ms. Wenjun Jiang, and I will now translate your answers in English. First of all, short drama investment is not merely a short-term monetization tool, but rather than an integral part of the company's long-term strategic planning. Driven by technology ecosystem expansion, as mentioned before, and user experience optimization, short dramas enhance brand visibility while serving as a strategic entry point for a broader market and technology application. We build the segment as a platform for aligning technical capabilities with sustainable commercial value. Thank you. We hope that we have answered your questions. And if you have any more questions, you may raise them now. If not, you may hang up.

I am showing no further questions at this time. So I'll turn the call back to management for closing remarks.
