[Operator Instructions] The first question comes from Vivian Zhang with Diamond Equity Research. Please go ahead.

Good morning. Congrats on that quarter. My -- so my first question is that, what's the reason why the company can continue to generate positive operating cash flow for the second consecutive quarter? How will this affect the company?

Yes. Yimeng Shi will be answering the questions. Yes, the second quarter, we maintained the positive operating cash flow following the second quarter of 2022. The main reason that came from the two, First, our margin profile has been improving quarter-over-quarter as we illustrate on our presentations, our service gross margins and overall growth -- overall gross margins is reached the highest levels. So that contributed to our gross profit amount increased significantly. And the second point is our we have maintained control of our operations process. We streamlined our operation -- business operations. And as we demonstrate our operating expenses has been decreased significantly compared to the same periods last year. So that's the two main contribution to our second quarter's positive cash flow. And we expect this trend the positive cash of uCloudlink will be achieved in the fourth quarter of this year. So we believe our financial position has been improving and support our growth in the future.

Yes, by the way our international business recovery. So this is a high-margin business. Also had to get more high-margin business.

Okay, got it. So can you share with us what matters have you taken to control costs and achieve positive adjusted net income and EBITDA?

Yes. The similar reasons as our positive operating cash flow. The gross margin -- overall gross margin improved a lot. And our operating expenses have been decreased at the same time as well. So we combine combinations together, we will achieve a positive adjusted net income and positive adjusted EBITDA. So we expect this improvement will be carried on in the fourth quarter and the next year as well. So the company's current situation will be improving on this basis.

Okay. Can you elaborate on the -- like what specific knowledge you've taken, like to decrease the operating expenses, because we saw that operating expenses decreased a lot, but what matters have you taken?

Yes. This as we -- in the release, we -- the main decrease in amount came from the headcount-related cost. That's the numbers as our headcount has been reduced compared with the same period last year. So we report that the headcount numbers in the presentations is 300 around. So compared with last year's numbered headcount has been -- but our efficiency, our efficiencies operations have been improved, and this number of headcounts to support or to achieve the year-end outlook and also achieve our growth in the next year as well.

Okay. Got it. So my last question is that compared with the Japanese and Chinese markets, the proportion of revenue from North America has increased a lot this year. So can you share with us the growth of the North American market? And how -- what are the drivers for the growth there?

Yes. So I’m Chen speaking. So North America is -- you can see data. Our North American market increased quite a lot from last year about several million to this year, we forecast more than $10 million. That's a big increase. There are several reasons; one is U.S. recoveries from COVID-19. So the requirement for the international traveler become more and more popular, that's one reason. And the second reason is the U.S. market the coverage of network is not as good as in China and Asia. So people need a better coverage and best traffic jams in local network. So that's increased, especially for 5G, the coverage improved. So we launched the world's first 5G solution, the [indiscernible] solution in United States, that's popular in this market. And the third the local market, including IoT and including the local requirement for the better coverage. So it's getting more and more, I think, more and more industry and people need better coverage to providing a better service. So these are three key reasons that because our product can provide the best coverage compared to other products. So we win more and more market share in this market.

Okay. Got it. So can you share with us like who are the main competitors of you in the North American market?

Yes, there are -- in different areas, we have different competitors. There are some competitors like Sky Long, they are similar technology. But we can provide much wider product line and much better quality because we come from the telecom industry, and we understand the quality is -- how important to the market. So we invest a lot in our products. That's why we are currently the only one vendor who can provide a global 5G long solution, which is no other product can provide, the case. The other case is we -- our product is the best seller in the for the Cloud SIM technology in the Amazon market, you can see our market share there. And also our customers understand our quality product patent is in a leading position in this market. This help us quickly exploring the U.S. market and the market share increased very quickly.

Okay, I see. Thank you. That’s all my questions.
