Thanks, Christian and thank you everyone for joining us today. We are pleased with our performance during the third quarter. Revenue came in at $64.4 million, exceeding our guidance of $61 million to $63 million. We also delivered a much improved net income, with GAAP net loss shrinking to $2.3 million, a 73.8% improvement over $8.6 million during the same quarter last year. As a testament of our improving efficiency, fulfillment expenses, selling and marketing expenses as well as G&A expenses all decreased year-over-year and sequentially as a percentage of total net revenues. Total operating expenses during the quarter were $25.0 million, a 28.1% improvement over $34.7 million during the same quarter of last year. During the second half of the third quarter while many currencies, including the euro continued to fluctuate, we saw the RMB further depreciate against the U.S. dollar. We think this will create an improved macroeconomic environment for our business, which focuses on exporting goods from China abroad and could present us with new opportunities for growth as the pricing of our products could become more competitive. As a result, we fine-tuned our strategy in the fourth quarter to regain revenue growth momentum, which has been trending upwards as shown by the 10% increase in our Black Friday sales and our fourth quarter guidance. The midpoint of our fourth quarter guidance represents approximately 5% year-over-year growth and a 43% sequential growth, which would be our highest sequential growth rate in the last – in the past 5 years. After a number of quarters where we continued to realign our supply chain, we think we have built a stronger foundation to support our strategy of capturing new opportunities and sales expansion. With fewer but stronger suppliers, we have a more manageable and more engaged supply chain with…

Thank you, Alan. As I review our financial results, let me remind you about few things. All numbers quoted are in U.S. dollars. All the percentage changes refer to year-over-year unless otherwise noted. Net revenues were $64.4 million, total orders were $1.4 million, and the total number of customers who made the purchase in the quarter, were $1.1 million. Revenues in the apparel category were $23.6 million. As a percentage of total net revenues, apparel revenues were 36.7% compared with 41.6% a year ago. Revenues generated from other general merchandise were $40.8 million. Looking at our business geographically, revenues from North America were $20.4 million and accounted for 31.7% of total net revenues. Revenues from Europe were $35.6 million, representing 55.3% of total revenues while revenues from other countries were $8.4 million, representing 13% of total net revenues. Gross profit was $22.5 million and the gross margin was 35% compared with 37.5% in the same quarter of 2015. Fulfillment expenses, which include payment processing fees, decreased to $3.9 million from $4.9 million. Selling and marketing expenses were $13.3 million lower than $19.5 million in the same quarter of last year. G&A expenses were $7.8 million or 12.2% of total net revenues, down from $10.3 million or 14.7% of total net revenues. G&A expenses include $3.1 million in technology investments compared with $3.6 million during the same period last year. GAAP net loss was $2.3 million compared with GAAP net loss of $8.6 million a year ago. Non-GAAP net loss was $1.1 million compared with non-GAAP net income of $3.3 million in the same quarter of 2015. GAAP net loss per ADS was $0.03 compared with GAAP net loss per ADS of $0.18 in the same quarter of last year. As of September 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $89.1 million. As of September 30, 2016, the company has repurchased a total of $0.4 million of ADS as part of 10 million share repurchase program announced on June 8, 2016. For the fourth quarter of 2016, based on our current estimates and the business seasonality, we expect net revenues to be in the range of $91 million to $93 million. This forecast reflects the company’s current and the preliminary reviews on the market and operational conditions, all of which are subject to change. This concludes our prepared remarks. At this point, we are ready to take some questions. Operator?

[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of [indiscernible] Capital. Please go ahead.

Hello. May I ask you two questions? The first question is that can you give us more color about your cloud ERP and the relationship with your core business? The second one is that with your announcement of 10% growth of your Black Friday sales as well as higher than last year revenue guidance, what are the main sectors to drive the growth? That’s all.

Yes, thank you. So the – as we mentioned before, the ERP system was part of our own operation developed software we have been using for a long period of time. And over the years, we discovered actually many other distribution companies in the wholesale business or in the e-commerce business also needs this type of software and a lot of the solutions on The Street actually cannot meet their requirements and our product actually is well battle tested. So we folk the software and make it a cloud-based solution for the SMEs. We also work very closely with our strategic partner, Zall, which has a relationship with large number of wholesalers in China. We think with their help we will be able to get a lot of adoptions in the market. We feel it’s a very important strategy for us in the future. We are very – for your second question, we are very pleased that our revenue in the fourth quarter start to – gaining growth momentum. Our Black Friday sales increased 10% year-over-year and we provided guidance today with year-over-year growth compared with last year and also very significant sequential growth compared with last quarter. We think it’s – there are a couple of reasons for that. The first reason is after a rather lumpier time of streamlining, optimizing our supply chain, we gained a better supplier base, our products with better quality and also the price of our product, it’s more competitive, which drive up the conversion rate from our customers. And secondly, we also felt the general macroeconomic environment, especially the depreciation of Chinese yen against the U.S. dollar would be a help, a force for us to gaining market share and we also made a number of improvements in other areas of our operations, including marketing, including customer service, etcetera and all these things contribute to the regaining growth of our sales in Q4. Thank you.

Okay, thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of Rick Shea of Vardon Capital. Please go ahead.

Good evening. Nice work on the expense and service improvements. So based on the new expense structure, what total annual sales number do you think the company needs to produce positive earnings per share? And what is – what initiatives for 2017 will drive the top line to that number?

Hey, Rick, this is Alan. We certainly have internal models what kind of fixed cost in the company. The ballpark of the fixed costs actually the personnel related and a big part of it is actually our software R&D. So we have about a quarter of our personnel cost is about R&D, and three quarter of them spread between marketing, supply chain, customer service and order fulfillment. So the customer service and order fulfillment, it’s pretty much variable cost, while the revenue goes – a bit goes up. So, it’s – while we are improving over time, but it’s more or less percentage-based costs and the rest of that is actually fixed cost. I think during the past six quarters, we have been well managed our fixed cost. We feel that we have reached a point where we can start to regain revenue, which will give us further leverage of our fixed cost. And the higher – certainly the higher the revenue goes it will give us a better cash flow and better profitability, but that’s kind of the way I look at it. But beyond the Q4, we are certainly not giving guidance as one-time for the 2017, but we feel with the macro environment, with our internal cost management initiatives, with our stronger price competitiveness and supply chain, we feel the company is certainly in much a stronger shape than a couple of quarters ago.

And just maybe as one follow-up, you have mentioned this, the continued progress on direct sourcing of products as opposed to working through agents. Any quantification of that in terms of what percentage of total inventory or merchandise sales is now sourced directly without a third-party?

We actually track two things internally. A) We track the number of product listings, especially the number of new product listings come from direct. The second is obviously the procurement dollar percentage. We don’t feel that is metrics we want to disclose externally, but we feel very good about our access direct, especially after we have strong partner in supply chain angle in the wholesale – factory direct wholesale marketplace, which our partner, Zall, has been running a very big part there together with us. So, I guess, qualitatively, we certainly see the percentage going up.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you, Rick.
