Q&A highlights
Q: Based on my reading of the earnings release, I noticed the strength of engagement that business. And how it strengthened the group's financial result. So I would appreciate if management could tell us more about EngageLab. And why the growth trajectory has been so strong since day one.
A: Shan-Nen Bong responded that EngageLab's ARR in September 2025 was 53,700,000, a 160% year-over-year jump. The success is due to continuous improvement of product and service offering, investment in global data facilities (new data center in Turkey recently), incorporation of notification channels for various operating systems, and responsive customer service.
