Thank you, Jake, and hello everyone. It's a pleasure to speak with you about our fourth quarter and full year results. We had a great year and accomplished many things, including releasing ARK: Survival Ascended, releasing an improved product roadmap, announcing exciting initiatives like the ARK Ambassador Program, and using artificial intelligence to bolster our product offerings. In October, we released the highly anticipated ARK: Survival Ascended game. Since then, we have sold more than 1.5 million copies and locked more than 97.5 million gameplay hours. Our community is still captivated by the ARK experience, and we continue to improve the game with exciting DLC updates. Since its launch, ARK: Survival Ascended has had an average DAU, or daily active users, of 182,000, which is a healthy increase of four times the average DAU observed during the same period of the original ARK: Survival Evolved launch. The increased DAU reflects our commitment to creating an enjoyable experience for our player base. We are making significant progress on our strategy to build communities, attract and retain new and existing players, and continue growing our ARK player base. We also plan new DLCs for the ARK franchise, which are coming to ARK: Survival Ascended. More news about this will be released soon. The ARK franchise will be reaching new heights coming up in late March. Our animation will be released by a well-known streaming platform, Paramount+, initially in the North American region and globally two weeks later. The notoriety of the IP will reach a new generation of players, and we are planning marketing campaigns to capitalize on this newfound reach. The fact that sandbox survival games are top-rated currently, with a plethora of new co-op games entering the market in this genre, we still stand alone at the top on a multiplayer level, along with our technological advancements in our premium mod program that provides endless content based on user-generated content. As the user base of sandbox survival games continues to grow, ARK will continue to be the standard by which other games are measured, all the while we continue to innovate on gameplay and technology, keeping us on the frontier of innovation for this game in genre. We are excited to start 2024 with an improved product roadmap. Last year, with the emergence of AI technology, Snail began to research how AI could impact our production pipeline. We sought ways to reduce development time while maintaining a high-quality standard. We quickly found that AI was progressing rapidly in the sector of AI-generated 2D assets. We adapted to this by training our 2D concept artists in using emerging AI technologies and, to this date, have more than doubled our 2D concept art team's production capabilities. The results of this are that our development projects dramatically reduce the time between ideation and implementation. As we look forward into the near future, we are now sampling emerging AI technology in the next step of the development pipeline, where 2D art is produced into 3D assets. In this step, we have already identified several technologies that have shown great promise, and we are confident that within the year, they will be ready for direct use in our production pipeline for prototyping and ideating concepts. The two main tools being researched are Meshy and Luma AI, both progressing in AI-generated 3D assets. In the future, we will witness the emergence of AI actors who can replace some development team members. Grouped in a common goal, they can act as a complete development team, such as coders, artists, designers, project managers, and marketing members. Independently operating, they can take feedback from social media and pass it directly into the development process to be evaluated and implemented into the game project. These AI agents can work together as a team to generate a game project. The two main tools we are researching in this sector are ChatDev and Society of Mind by Google Brain. The industry is trying to hang onto the handcrafted model and compare games made by AI tools to those made by factories. At Snail, we want to use AI while making high-quality games, reducing costs, and passing the savings onto our consumers. We look forward to the developments we make during the year and will continue sharing more information on our upcoming quarterly earnings calls. I will now hand it over to Heidy to review our financial highlights from the quarter. Thank you, Jim. Hello everyone, and thank you for joining our fourth quarter and full year call. Net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $28.6 million as compared to $15.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to the release of ARK: Survival Ascended. Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $13.5 million to $60.9 million, or 18.2%, compared to $74.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease in net revenue was due to the decrease in ARK Mobile sales of $2.9 million, a decrease in one-time deferred revenue from contracts recognized in 2022 of $10.3 million, one-time payments in 2022 of $8.5 million that did not occur in 2023, and an increase in deferred revenues of $25.2 million related to ARK sales, partially offset by an increase in ARK sales of $32.7 million. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $2.4 million compared to the net loss of $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net income is due to the release of ARK: Survival Ascended, reduced general and administrative expenses of $2.5 million, and a decrease in professional fees related to compliance with public company requirements and litigation-related expenses, partially offset by increased advertising and marketing costs of $900,000 related to ARK: Survival Ascended release, and a $3.9 million decrease in the income tax benefit for the period. Net loss was $9.1 million for the full year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to net income of $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $10.1 million. Bookings for the three months ended December 31, 2023 were $52.6 million as compared to $11.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to the strong release of ARK: Survival Ascended on the Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Bookings for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $85.7 million as compared to $63.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to the release of ARK: Survival Ascended in the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition to increased sales of ARK: Survival Ascended, the company deferred approximately $22 million in revenues during the fourth quarter of 2023 for the ARK: Survival Ascended DLCs that have not yet released and have $10.3 million in one-time deferred contract revenue recognized in 2022 that did not occur in 2023. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $8.8 million, or 169%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in net income of $4.7 million, partially offset by an increase in provisions for income taxes of $3.9 million. EBITDA decreased by $9 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of a decrease in net income of $10.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $700,000 and an increase in interest expenses of $600,000. As of December 31, 2023, unrestricted cash was $15.2 million versus $12.9 million as of December 31, 2022. To review our detailed financial statements, please refer to the earnings press release, our most recent 10-Q, and our 10-K filings. Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your headset before pressing the star keys. Your first question comes from Pat McCann with Noble Capital. Please go ahead. Hey, thanks for taking my questions. My first question was just about the animated series. I'm wondering if you could give any information on how that has been received so far, and maybe you could also touch on the animated series DLC as well. So hi, this is Jim Tsai, the CEO of Snail Games, to answer the question related to animated series. I think by far we already know that animated series, the first season, the episodes have been released in video streaming platform, which already received quite, I would say, positive reviews. And also the critic and the score has been quite promising. And I think another benefit from releasing the video on the video streaming platform is that it has provided a free promotion and marketing to outside of the ARK fans so they can understand what the story is wrapped around for the ARK: Survival Evolved video game. That's a great help and benefit for the sales of the ARK: Survival Evolved. Even back in 2015, the ARK game, if fans haven't heard about it and then they review the animation and then they make choices, they may start from the ARK game and going on DLC. The other question on the animated DLC we are planning, and then we don't have the exact day and news to be announced, but we are working on it and expect to have a more visible date and schedule and the information in the coming months in the coming days. Thank you. And then my next question was, given the mod revenue-sharing program, I was just wondering how the modding has there been an uptick in modding? What are you seeing right now insofar as modding is concerned with the game? Okay. Yeah, thank you. This is Jim again. Thank you for the question. So if we talk about modding, this is very exciting news because before we hop in onto the mod platform, we're already doing the mod program for 5, 6 years in the past. And if you look at the current server occupation, there's actually 50% or 60% or even more was, we call it, private server, which would be very popular in the modder that they are playing ARK in their own version. There's only like 10, 15, a little bit above is official server that we provided in the past, which provides the great potential to be on the modded system, right? So right now, the modder platform we provided is still the same features and more enhanced tool for the modder to be able to utilize whatever the data and the features in that tool. But also, it opened up for the monetization, not just for the company, but also all the creators, the content creators. So it's exciting news, but this is just beginning. So other than the product cycle in the past, this will be a new trajectory in the coming days, and we expect it will be a long-term strategy and also another long-term monetization for the ARK franchise. Okay, great. Then if I could ask one more question, I was wondering if you could comment on any updates in the development of ARK 2 when you look at potential release, what quarter you might want to release it when you're looking at late 2024 or early 2025. Just wondering how much flexibility you might have to kind of pick a time to release it that makes most sense as far as user adoption. I'm thinking about Q4 with the Christmas holiday. How are you viewing that, and how much flexibility do you have when it comes to releasing ARK 2? Yes, thank you for the questions. Yes, there was a lot of questions wrapped around when is the ARK coming out, especially after the ARK Ascended got released and also the animated series got released, and you see all the voiceover, and then one of the voiceovers of Vin Diesel was actually in the ARK 2 trailer. So you see the connection. The team is working very hard to try to have the ARK 2 released early. But as we may know, because there was a long time for the ARK Survival and ARK Ascended, and then definitely the ARK 2 has the higher bar that the quality has superseded in the past and even the ARK Ascended. So we don't have a set day. I think we would have a more clear schedule in the coming months. I can say for now, but it definitely would be good news and information in coming days. Great. Thank you so much. That's all I've got. Once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. There are no further questions at this time. This concludes today's teleconference. You may disconnect your line. Thank you for your participation.
