Without further ado, I'll now turn over the call to Nick. Nick, please go ahead. Thank you, Don, good evening, everyone. Now let's start with some key highlights of the fourth quarter and full year 2022 performance. On Slide 4, we added one new project on additional 50 megawatts new capacity in the fourth quarter, bringing our total capacity to 871 megawatts, and a total number of data centers to 32. We put two hyperscale data centers into service in Malaysia, bringing our total in-service capacity to 613 megawatts, an increase of 34 megawatts during the quarter. Demand and ramp up remain strong and healthy. We received an additional client commitment of 100 megawatts in the fourth quarter, bringing our total contracted and IOI capacity to 800 megawatts, leading to a client commitment rate of our total capacity at 92%. We added 71 megawatts utilized capacity in the quarter, bringing our total utilized capacity to 525 megawatts and a solid utilization rate of 86%. We completed a $300 million senior notes unsecured offering in February. The notes due 2026, with a coupon rate of 10.5%, successfully opened another new financing channel for the company under such macro environment with fragile sentiment and will further support our project development in China and overseas. Top and bottom line momentum remain really strong. Revenue in the fourth quarter was RMB 1,390.3 million, which is 77.8% year-over-year growth. Adjusted EBITDA was RMB 720.9 million, a 78.4% year-over-year growth with a margin of 51.9%. For full year 2022, revenue was RMB 4,551.7 million, a 59.6% year-over-year growth and 2.7% above our guidance upper range. Adjusted EBITDA was RMB 2,374.2 million, a 67.3% year-over-year growth with a margin of 52.2% and 5.1% above guidance upper range. Looking into year 2023, we expect full year revenue to be in a range of RMB 5,880 million-RMB 6,080 million, and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of RMB 3,000 million-RMB 3,110 million, which are around another 30% increase from year 2022. We will go into details of this later. Let's take a close look at project delivery and construction on slide 7. We continue to work on tight and challenging timetable to make sure that resources are delivered timely to support our clients. Our delivery is generally in line with the original schedule. We put 2 projects into service in the fourth quarter in Malaysia with a total capacity of 34 megawatts. One of them is MY03, located in Kuala Lumpur, supporting one of the key international clients for its regional development. The project is now 100% committed and ramping up at 25% utilization. NY06 phase one, whose details we have shared during our previous call, is supporting the anchor client's overseas business and is now 100% utilized. We put one new hyperscale project under construction in the fourth quarter, CN-21, with a design capacity of 50 megawatts and located in our Shanxi campus, is scheduled for delivery in Q3 2023, and intended for the anchor clients. The project has so far received 38 megawatts of IOI from the client. With the above changes in the quarter, as you can see on slide 8, we have brought our total capacity up by 50 megawatts, reaching 871 megawatts by the end of the fourth quarter, with 630 megawatts in service and 257 megawatts under construction. For the year 2022, we have put a total of around 173 megawatts into service. Among the under-construction capacity by quarter ends, we currently expect another 214 megawatts of them to be delivered in 2023, which is quite a challenging task. Our team in China and overseas are working very closely to ensure our supply readiness. Regarding demand profile on slide 9, we continue to strong China and overseas business momentum from our key clients. Our total client commitment increased by 100 megawatts in the fourth quarter, mainly contributed by 4 major projects in China and in Malaysia, supporting two of our key existing clients. Specifically, we received 8 megawatt IOI for project NY06 in Malaysia, supporting the key international client, making the project now 100% committed. We received another 92 megawatts IOI on existing projects CN20, CN21, and MY06 phase three in our Shanxi campus and in Zhuhai campus to support the anchor clients. Meanwhile, 49 megawatts of IOI was converted into contract during the quarter, including a 38 megawatts from CN20 in Shanxi campus and 11 megawatts from CN19 in Hebei campus. For the year 2022, we have received a total of around 211 megawatts of client commitment, leading to a 35.9% year-over-year increase in total client commitment. As a natural result, commitment profile of our asset portfolio remain healthy. On slide 10, for our existing 613 megawatts of in-service capacity, 96% of them are committed by clients in either contract or IOI by the end of the fourth quarter, compared with 96% in the previous quarter and 87% in the same quarter last year. For our total capacity on slide 11, the commitment ratio is 92% by the end of the fourth quarter, compared with 85% in the previous quarter and 87% in the same quarter last year. On top of healthy demand and our differentiated client base, and as we have been emphasizing relentlessly, our unique contract profile brings long-term business visibility. By the end of the fourth quarter, over 90% of our contract are in 10 years term or longer, leading to a weighted average remaining term of current contracted capacity of 8.3 years. Furthermore, from now to the end of 2027, we only expect less than 7% of our existing contracted capacity to expire. Now, coming to customer move-in on slide 13. We continue to leverage on our unique delivery capacity to accommodate clients' rapid move-in, and we are seeing an increasing contribution from our overseas business. We added 71 MW of utilized capacity in the fourth quarter, bringing our total utilized capacity to 525 MW, compared with 304 MW in the same quarter last year, which is 72.5% year-over-year growth and a 15.7% quarter-over-quarter increase. Quarterly move-in was contributed by projects in Northern and Eastern China campus, supporting the anchor client, the key international client, and the Chinese cloud client, as well as contributed by all our overseas project in India and in Malaysia, supporting the anchor client and international clients. On specific project level, CN14 and the CN18 reached over 90% utilization in only 2 quarters of operation. Milestone MY06 phase one is almost 100% utilized in the 1st quarter following its opening. Looking at the source of utilized capacity by region on slide 13, overseas business is starting to contribute more in the 4th quarter, accounting for 9% of total utilized capacity, compared with less than 5% in the previous quarters. Given such rapid ramp-up performance, our utilization rate improved further in the fourth quarter, climbing to 86%, compared with the 78% in the previous quarter and 69% in the same quarter last year. Based on our existing client commitment, we have 275 megawatts of client commitment unutilized by end of the fourth quarter, which is around 52% of our currently utilized capacity. Beyond current performance, the company has also been working on necessary financing to support our supply build-up. We have captured a key market window and completed our $300 million senior notes offering on February 23rd. We opened a new financing channel for the company on top of our project loan financing and will provide more financing flexibility, covering the full life cycle, especially the early stage of the product development in China and overseas. Despite fragile market sentiment around macro outlook, we continue to attract significant investor interest during two days telegraphic roadshows, and have received unprecedented strong support from high-quality international institutional investors, including global asset managers and pension funds. The note is due 2026 and bears a coupon rate of 10.5%. On the supply side, in our Lingqiu campus, the construction of our self-built 220 kilovoltage substation was completed on February 13th. This is a very straightforward snapshot of how the company has been leveraging its in-house power-related capability. Its energy-abundant region layout from day one to ensure consistent key resources sufficiency in Greater Beijing region to accommodate future demand. The construction adopted modular technology and was completed in only 6 months, setting a new record for data center industry. The substation enables direct voltage transformation from 220 kilovoltage to 10 kilovoltage, obtaining the first main rate-related talent in data center industry, and saving up to 60% of space of a substation compared with traditional solution. Most importantly, the completion of the substation paved the way for the future capacity expansion of our Lingqiu campuses in Shanxi, as it is capable of supporting the energy consumption of up to 360 IT megawatts. Regarding the company's involvement in the national Eastern Data, Western Computing plan on slide 16. Starting from the very beginning, we have adopted an active attitude and stance in joining the development of Qingyang cluster in Gansu Province, so as not to miss such historical opportunities. Action-wise, we have been moving forward our development plan prudently, making sure that we make well-timed capital expenditure decisions. Along with other key enterprises, we attended the opening ceremony for the cluster hosted by the Gansu Provincial Government on February 22nd, and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the local government. We have planned a campus of 150 megawatts there on a land of 300 acres, and would prudently move forward with the relevant CapEx expenditure along with development pace of the entire cluster. Currently, we don't expect any material relevant CapEx in Qingyang in the year 2023. Before I conclude my part, I would like to leave several key takeaways for the market. On the demand side, we still feel good about the momentum coming from our existing client base. The number that we presented on client commitment and utilization dynamics are very, very good reference. We believe this has something to do with the data-intensive nature of our five businesses. In particular, the anchor clients. If we further take into consideration our unique contract profile, you should feel good about the long-term business visibility as well. These all together will serve as a comfortable buffer for the company on further client diversification. On the supply side, we are always ready in our key campuses. We are leveraging on our operational history in these regions, which are right in the Eastern Data, Western Computing cluster, the unique role that we played in contributing to local economy, and our in-house capability on power infrastructure to ensure that resource can be locked in advance to support future demand. Geographically, we currently highly value the Southeast Asian market, we are on the right track on geographic diversification. Looking at the pie chart on slide 18, overseas utilized capacity makes up 9% of company total capacity by the quarter. In the longer term, if we look at contracted capacity or total capacity, overseas can contribute to around 20%. On top of that, if we take into consideration pricing difference, such contribution can be more. At this point of time, the company is allocating dedicated resource to project NY06 in Johor in order to make it a flagship product and a good opening in the local market. This actually remind us how the company has started its business in the Hebei campus in the early days around Beijing. We are working very hard now to win us the ticket for more opportunities in the Southeast Asia market in the future. With this, I've concluded my part, and I will turn to Zoe for details in our financial performance. Zoe, please. Thank you, Nick. Let me walk you through our quarterly financial performance. Generally speaking, we have maintained a very healthy financial momentum in the past quarter of last year, 2022. Our revenue growth in the fourth quarter will remain very strong and supported by faster ramp-up from both our China and overseas business. On slide 23, revenue in the fourth quarter decreased by 77.8% year-over-year, or 15.6% quarter-over-quarter to reach RMB 1,390.3 million, which is in line with the 72.5% year-over-year, and a 15.7% quarter-over-quarter increase in utilized capacity. Look at the table on the right-hand side. Overseas contributed to 9% of total utilized capacity in the fourth quarter, compared with less than 5% in the past. Revenue in the full year 2022 increased by 59.6% year-over-year to RMB 4,551.7 million, beating the guidance upper rate by 2.7%. Looking further down on slide 24. Total cost of revenue in the fourth quarter increased by 88.5% to RMB 820.5 million, from RMB 435.2 million in the same period of 2021. Mainly driven by the increase in utility costs and the depreciation and amortization expenses. Selling and marketing expenses remain at normal level in the fourth quarter of last year, slightly decreased by 1.7% year-over-year to RMB 18.4 million. Primarily due to less share-based compensation expenses. On a full year basis, selling and marketing expense decreased by 20.5%. Primarily due to less share-based compensation and less marketing activities. General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 saw a spike of 134.5% year-over-year to RMB 214.5 million. A one-off long-lived asset impairment cost of around RMB 83.5 million has been the major contributor to such a change. The management conducted a revisit on strategy and related assets and decided not to continue with the Chinidea business, which is the leftover group's manufacturing business line. The related assets were assessed to be subject to a one-off impairment. To point out, this asset has no relation with our core IDC business, thus, no impact on our future expectations of our business growth, and no further impairment of this kind is expected in the future. On a full year basis, G&A expense increased by 52.9%, primarily due to the higher share-based compensation expense, increase in personnel costs as the company grew its business, and the one-off long-lived asset impairment in the fourth quarter of last year. Research and development expense increased by 85.1% in the fourth quarter and 10.8% in 2022. Primarily due to more resources invested in research and development activities. With this, operating income in the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by 39.7% year-over-year to RMB 309.4 million, with a margin of 22.2%, compared with 28.3% in the same period of 2021, and 26.4% in the third quarter of 2022. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB 116.5 million, a year-over-year 1.6% increase, and a nasty 51.7% quarter-over-quarter decrease, mainly due to the one-off impairment cost. For a further breakdown of core costs and expense item on slide 25. A clear sign of the economies of scale on our hyperscale business model can be witnessed over the last 10 quarters. Despite the faster increase in utility costs than that of the revenue, the stability in other key costs and expenses items including maintenance, SG&A, and extra, has ensured a stable margin performance. Utility costs in the fourth quarter remained at a similar level to the previous quarter, making up of 31.1% of total revenue, compared with 32.8% in the previous quarter and 28.5% in the same quarter of 2021. Maintenance and other costs and adjusted G&A expenses were all well-maintained within their reasonable range. Maintenance and other costs were 8.6% of total revenue in the fourth quarter, compared with 9.9% in the previous quarter and 9.9% in the same quarter of 2021. A clear sign of economies of scale. Adjusted SG&A expense was 8.3% of revenue in the fourth quarter, compared with 7.7% in the previous quarter and 11% in the same quarter of 2021. With this, on slide 26, our profitability remained healthy. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by 78.4% year-over-year to RMB 720.9 million, from RMB 404.2 million in the same period of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 61.9% in the quarter, slightly higher than the previous quarter. For the full year 2022, adjusted EBITDA increased by 67.3% year-over-year to RMB 2,374.2 million, which is 5.1% above our guidance upper range. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the year 2022 improved to 52.2% from 49.7% in the year 2021. Adjusted net income increased by 65.2% year-over-year in the fourth quarter to RMB 236.2 million, at a margin of 7%. Adjusted net income in full year of 2022 increased by 99% to RMB 949.9 million, with margin improving to 20.9% compared with 16.7% in the previous quarter. Details in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation on EBITDA and net income will be available in our filing or the appendix in our IR PPT. Let's take a look at our cash and debt position and our CapEx on slide 27. We continue to work in our business expansion to meet the increasing demand from our customers by investing more capital into our under-construction data centers. CapEx in the fourth quarter was RMB 1,354.7 million. The CapEx in the full year of 2022 added up to RMB 4,912.8 million, compared with RMB 3,766.9 million in the year 2021. Given the strong demand and the tight and the challenging delivery timetable, as discussed previously, we expect CapEx in 2023 to be in the level of around RMB 5 billion. On operating cash flow, cash collection is gradually recovering compared with the previous quarter, leading to a CNY 389.4 million operating cash flow in the fourth quarter compared to CNY negative 173.8 million in the third quarter. Cash collection has been slower in the second half of 2022 due to COVID-19 epidemics in November and December in Beijing, and our clients started to upgrade its internal billing system as well. We have collected the majority of the receivables in the first quarter of 2023, and expect cash collection gradually back to normal. On financing, we added CNY 74.9 million project financing in the fourth quarter, ending up in a total debt position by the end of the quarter at CNY 8,371.5 million. So far, we don't have major loan or debt facilities to mature in 2023 or 2024. Only minor ones based on some of our projects loan payback amortization schedule. With this, on slide 28 and 29, we ended up with a total cash position of RMB 4,064.2 million in the fourth quarter, compared with RMB 4,987.9 in the previous quarter, and a net debt position of RMB 4,270.6 million. Our leverage and coverage ratios remain in a reasonable range. On slide 29, with the momentum in adjusted EBITDA and our proper and prudent drawdown of the debt facilities, our net debt to the last twelve months adjusted EBITDA ratio stood at 1.8, compared with 1.6 in the previous quarter. Total debt to last twelve months adjusted EBITDA was 3.5, compared to 4.1 in the previous quarter and a 3.9 in the same quarter in 2021. Such also leads to the healthy coverage profile with last twelve months adjusted EBITDA to interest ratio at 7.9, compared with 8 in the previous quarter. The last twelve months funds from operations remaining at around 20% of total debt. Capital structure is healthy, with total debt to capital ratio at 43.5%, compared with 44.1% in the previous quarter. The healthy momentum on EBITDA growth based on the rapid ramp-up of our clients continue to support a strong return profile of the company with a 86% IT capacity utilization ratio by the end of the fourth quarter. We are seeing a pre-tax ROIC of 17.6% compared with 16.5% in the previous quarter and 15.1% in the same quarter last year. Finally, on guidance delivery in 2022 and our outlook into 2023. Strong revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance in full year 2022, resulting 2.7% and 5.1% upbeat of our previous guidance upper range, respectively. This has seen the third year of guidance upbeat for the company. Given the current business momentum, the company set its 2023 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance in the range of RMB 5,880-RMB 680 million, and RMB 3,000-RMB 3,110 million respectively, representing 31.4% and 28.7% year-over-year increase at midpoint. This forecast reflects with the company's current and the preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change. Now, I will attend to Group CEO, Mr. Wu Huapeng for the concluding remarks. Huapeng, please. Translation for Huapeng's words. Hello, everyone. Thank you again for joining the call. It's been a remarkable year, 2022, for the company. We dealt with problems, have them solved, and finished the fiscal year 2022 with another guidance upbeat and 10 3/4 of consensus upbeat. In China, leveraging our energy abundant region layout under Eastern Data, Western Computing cluster and our unique hyperscale development and delivery capacity, we remain a trusted c-partner in supporting the healthy momentum of our differentiated client base. In the Qingyang cluster of Eastern Data, Western Computing, we've been active in joining the initiative, so as not to miss such historical opportunity. While at the same time, we move forward with our development plan pragmatically to make sure that we make well-timed capital expenditure decisions. We are advancing our Southeast Asian market development at a firm place with our key project simulation India put into operation and ramping up steadily. We're confident in our Southeast Asian market, and we're working on high quality delivery of the existing key projects in the region to win us more opportunities in the future. Looking ahead, considering our unique client base and their momentum, we remain confident that an additional 120-150 megawatts of capacity can be achieved in the next 2 years. We are also confident that the newly emerging AI technology, such as ChatGPT, et cetera, will drive the long-term demand of computing power. We believe that our existing clients are among the pioneers of this trend, and we expect such to bring us upside in demand as well. As of today, we will continue to do what we should do to keep strengthening our energy site layout, to ensure the supply side efficiency and sufficiency so as to safeguard the growth of the industry and our clients in the future.

Location wise, China will take up about 70% and overseas outside China will take up about 30%. 感 谢 吴 总 。 那 我 就 再 想 澄 清 一 下 , 老 客 户 是 包 括 就 是 到 去 年 年 底 为 止 , 所 有 跟 清 数 据 有 过 客 户 呃 业 务 往 来 的 都 叫 老 , 老 客 户 是 吧 ? 不 光 是 , 是 单 一 的 这 个 anchor customer。 对, 你 理 解 对 了. Yes。 好 的 , 谢 谢 。I'll just translate the follow up. I just want to make sure that the existing customer for the 80% from ex-existing customer are real existing customer before the end of 2022. Not only referring to the anchoring customer. Thank you. Hello。 Our next question comes from the line of Mingran Li from CICC. Please ask your question. 嘿 管 立 成 好, 感 谢 这 个 提 问 机 会。 我 的 问 题 是 关 于 这 个 AI, 因 为 刚 刚 其 实 也 提 到 了 说 AI 是 未 来 需 求 的 一 个 促 进 因 素, 对 你 如 何 展 望 这 个 AI 对 整 个 数 据 中 心 行 业 的 影 响, 以 及 能 不 能 分 享 一 些 就 关 于 我 们 所 服 务 客 户 的 一 些 相 关 应 用 场 景, 它 怎 么 来 带 动 对 我 们 更 多 的 需 求。 Let me translate myself first. How to anticipate the impact of AI on and for our anchor customer, if they have relevant application scenarios to drive more demand for us. Could you give us more color about it? Thank you. Yeah, thank you. I think Hua Peng gonna answer this question, I'm gonna make some additional points. Hua Peng please. 我 来 讲 3 点 。 First, 长 期 以 来 , 我 们 认 为 AI 相 关 的 新 技 术 , 包 括 近 期 火 热 的 一 些 新 技 术 的 应 用 及 未 来 的 演 进 , 对 算 力 需 求 的 带 动 , 对 数 据 中 心 的 肯 定 是 有 长 期 的 正 向 影 响 的 。 Second, 公 司 长 期 以 来 一 直 做 的 事 情 就 是 依 靠 我 们 在 供 给 侧 的 独 特 的 hyperscale 机 能 源 侧 部 署 模 式 , 支 持 着 当 前 国 内 最 大 算 力 需 求 端 的 持 续 发 展 。 Third, 往 后 我 们 也 会 持 续 依 托 我 们 能 源 侧 的 布 局 和 能 研 端 开 发 能 力 , 确 保 关 键 资 源 的 前 提 可 得 , 从 而 更 好 地 支 持 未 来 客 户 的 新 增 需 求 , 持 续 推 进 高 效 电 力 转 算 力 的 使 命 。 还 有 关 键 一 点 , 能 在 Chindata 的 长 期 发 展 过 程 中 , 我 们 对 这 种 高 密 或 者 说 以 GPU 为 主 的 这 种 AI 算 力 的 数 据 中 心 需 求 , 我 们 是 。 In the long term, I believe that AI technology, including the ChatGPT and its application and technology, would definitely bring up the computing power demand in the long term, it will also turn into a long-term positive demand and positive opportunity for the data center industry. With our unique hyperscale model from the supply side as well as the deployment on the energy side, we have been supporting the biggest computing power in China for the past few years. We will keep the momentum up with our deployment and development capability on the energy side. We will continue to ensure to secure the critical resources strategically and to provide solid support for the future client demand, promoting our mission in effectively converting electricity power into computing power. For Chindata, in our long-term development, we believe that the high density rack, high density computing center with the GPU, with the AI computing power, facilities, it will create a lot of demand. We are the only one that with a long-term experience in deploying such facilities. We have been making related technology innovation, and we have the longest experience in serving the relevant clients in deploying their AI computing powers. For us, we believe that the AI technologies development will bring us definitely a very positive effect in gaining more client demand and catching the opportunities. Yeah, this is Nick. I would like to make 3 additional points on this very hot topic these days. Although it's pretty hard to quantify to, well, exactly how much incremental demand on data and the IDC capacity are correlating to our business, we believe that if you read one of the recent report that there is a new concept on Moore's law, essentially. Basically means that the future data and computing power could double its size in 18 months, essentially. If you use this trend, you can see the future long-term potential gonna be huge for our IDC business. The other point I wanna make, the second point is actually our current forecast annual incremental capacity between 120 and 150 megawatts is only our baseline case. It doesn't consider the potential explosive growth in this new technology demand, essentially driven by this ChatGPT stuff. There could be some upside opportunity based on that. We are still watching it closely on this trend and see whether it can drive up our customers' business and in turn, we can benefit from that. Third point we wanna mention is that if you look at our client base, one of them is Microsoft. They are basically the leading forces in this ChatGPT stuff overseas. Our domestic and our key clients, you know, For our domestic business, we believe they should be the leading force as well on this trend. In any case, once this trend become quantifiable and can be pretty much, you know, as it become some certainty, we're definitely gonna be the one of the first ones to benefit a lot from it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star 11 on your telephone. Our next question comes from the line of Edison Lee from Jefferies. Please ask your question, Edison. Hi. I have three questions. Number one is that I want to ask about the CapEx guidance in 2023. Number two is I think that the revenue and EBITDA guidance for 2023 is a little bit low. I would like to know the assumptions behind this guidance. Number three is I want to get a little bit more details about the asset impairment that they booked in the fourth quarter. Thank you. Thank you, Edison. I think, I'm gonna refer your first and the third question to our Finance Senior VP, Zoe, to give you an answer. I'm gonna address your second question on the guidance. Thank you, Allison. Our first question regarding the CapEx expenditure this year, we forecast this will be around RMB 5 billion. This is based on our current business plan and also the project that we disclosed. This is based on our current project delivery schedule and our also the historical cost level. For the third question you mentioned is for the details of those one one-off long-lived asset impairment. This is mainly for Chinidea, which was previously the lax business for the manufacturing part of the company. This is mainly for this plant factory's decoration and equipment investment. So far, we've decided for this manufacturing part or the key equipment of this MEP investment, we will more cooperate with our external strategic vendors. We will not operate this factories anymore. There is a one-time long-lived asset impairment. The cost is, the impairment amount is around RMB 84 million, and this is a very thorough and a one-time cleanup. We don't expect any further impairment or similar cases in the future. Hope this help you. Impairment finished. Yeah. Right. Thank you, Zoe. I think one thing I disagree is actually around 30% the revenue, the growth on the revenue side, EBITDA side is low. You know, it's probably, you know, if you compare our the previous, past several years, growth rate, it's probably gonna be a little bit lower, but still much higher than the industry average. You know, I think I just mentioned that we anticipate that this is our base case forecast, essentially. Basically, I don't even call it a forecast. It's probably just more like a natural result of all the current contract and the execution and the construction. Once they got delivered, they're gonna ramp up in a pretty much on average, nine months, you know, ramping up time. We put all this very conservative and base assumption into the model and what you and what you will get exactly the 30% increase on the top line. Slightly, you know, slightly lower EBITDA growth rate, I think, but I still call it around 30%, is simply because we are actively seeking diversification strategy this year, especially starting from the second half of this year. That basically means now post the COVID-19 time, we're gonna hire more people and more staff on the business development side, on the R&D side, essentially to support our company's growth in both China and overseas market over the long run. Having said that, you're gonna see a slight increase of our corporate G&A, R&D and sales marketing. And you spend it, you know, this year, they're gonna bring the long term. This incremental resource dedication is gonna bring a long-term benefit to companies, you know, sustainable the business even in the future. In other words, what you see, 30% growth rate on the top line and bottom are pretty much a secure number based on the existing contract and the visible top lines. There are some, upper side potential on top of it. Thank you. Hey, thank you. Thank you, Nick. Okay, can I have a very quick follow-up? I wonder if the EBITDA margin of the non-China projects is putting some pressure on the overall EBITDA margin. Actually, on this, the overseas EBITDA margin, we don't disclose separately about overseas EBITDA margin. Overall, one thing I can tell you is actually with the overseas expansion bring additional business, you know, and bring the long-term potential, it brings out directly the geographical and the customer diversification. That's point number one. Number two, in terms of a per unit financial return, If you measured it against the regional benchmark peers' performance, we believe that our EBITDA margin, profit margin, return on assets definitely gonna be among the best. The second point. On third point, regardless of the a little bit difference on margin profile between the overseas and China market, we're very confident that on a corporate level, our EBITDA margin can maintain well above 50% moving forward into the future. Also the other important factor you gotta consider is actually the competitive model or competitive competence model for the company in overseas market are slightly different from what we have in China. In overseas market, we basically pass through all the power to the client because, simply because of the more fluctual, you know, fluctuational nature of the power cost in overseas market. Without this power itself, you know, you have a more certainty of our EBITDA margin overseas. On the other side, that's probably drive a little bit lower EBITDA margin yes. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Great. Thank you very much for all your questions. We have reached the end of the question and answer session. With that, we conclude our conference for today. Thank you for participating. You may all disconnect.
