Combined with the ongoing share repurchase program (approximately 55.7 million ADSs repurchased since September 2021), management is demonstrating a commitment to returning value to shareholders while maintaining growth.

The Digital Clinical Trial Solution is emerging as a growth driver, with revenues increasing 34.2% to RMB 27.7 million. The expansion of pharmaceutical partnerships to 198 organizations and the enrollment of 999 patients this quarter (bringing the cumulative total to 12,216 patients across 1,385 programs) indicates meaningful traction in this segment.
