Analyst · NH Investments and Securities. Mr. Yang, please go ahead, sir
[Foreign Language] Hello, this is Pak Kan Shu, the CFO of SK Planet. I’d like to briefly go over some of the details of the performance of SK Planet during the first quarter. I first want to remind you that because, due to the characteristics of our business, it depends highly, it has a lot to do with the seasonality of each quarter, so I think it would be more adequate to look at it from a year-on-year perspective. [Foreign Language] As for the revenue, as all of you may be aware, many business divisions that SK Planet used to have either was spun off to become separate entities, or have been internalized within SK Telecom. So obviously there was a revenue drop due to that. However, the overall transaction volume increased greatly on 11th Street. So our entire revenue grew by KRW5 billion to achieve KRW350 billion. [Foreign Language] And as for our income before taxes, it recorded KRW330 billion, and this mainly was due to our divestiture gains of LOEN Entertainment. [Foreign Language] And if I may add onto that, I know that many in the market want to know what the actual losses we have due to aggressive marketing amounted to. However, I would like to remind you that it is difficult for us to give you such details due to competition related issues. However, what I can say is that as of now, within such a fierce, competitive market of the commerce industry, our goal is to become the unrivalled leader in this market, and therefore we are allocating resources accordingly. And in the short-term, although operating losses are inevitable, I believe that is within two to three years, we will be able to turn around the numbers and hit the EP. [Foreign Language] Let me briefly explain to you regarding the transaction volume. [Foreign Language] During the first quarter our transaction volume increased by over KRW500 billion year-on-year, and 80% of that increase was responsible, had to do with our mobile presence. Out of the entire transaction volume of the numbers, 50% is accountable for the mobile service.
