To our shareholders and investors I would first like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their continued support and interest in LINE. In 2018, we launched convenient and innovative financial services such as asset management, non-life insurance and financial account management in full scale. The settlement volume through LINE Pay service grew steadily, driven by the expansion of participating stores and the increased awareness of payments using QR code. We also announced our entry into the banking business to further strengthen the financial business area. In the advertising business, we started offering a new pricing plan for account ads in addition to the major renewal of our programmatic advertising platform. In 2019, we will continue working on further increasing the shareholder value through the steady growth of our advertising business, while stepping up investments in the financial business. I hope we can receive your continued support as we work to deliver the LINE Group’s business strategy.
