Q:What were the specific governance initiatives implemented?
A:The governance initiatives focused on addressing misclassified carporting orders, strengthening real name verification for truckers and shippers, and implementing measures to curb freight reselling and other irregular transaction activities.
Q:How has the governance initiative affected revenue and the platform's monetization capability?
A:The governance measures primarily affected low-quality orders with limited monetization potential. Despite the shift of some orders to full load products or offline channels, transaction service revenue still grew by nearly 100% year over year in the fourth quarter, indicating that the governance initiatives have not affected the platform's core monetization capability.

A:The governance initiatives have led to improvements such as the elimination of trucker account reselling on third-party platforms, near-100% trucker vehicle verification rate, significant decrease in freight reselling activities, and maintenance of a high level of active trucker base.
Q:What is the outlook for order growth and the fulfillment rate?
A:The outlook for order growth shows clear signs of recovery with sequential order growth already improving. The share of direct shippers is increasing, and matching efficiency is expected to further improve. Looking ahead, the company remains cautiously optimistic about steady order growth on the platform.
Q:How did the fulfillment rate perform in the fourth quarter and what is the outlook?
A:In the fourth quarter, the overall fulfillment rate reached 42.7%, representing a year-over-year increase of more than five percentage points, with the average fulfillment rate for mid and low-frequency direct shippers approaching 60%. The outlook for the fulfillment rate is positive, driven by systematic improvements and the optimization of the cancellation policy.
Q:What factors drove the improvements in the fulfillment rate?
A:The improvements in the fulfillment rate were driven by systematic changes to the cancellation policy, adjustments in imposing behavioral restrictions on users with frequent cancellations, and an upgraded credit scoring system that now gives more emphasis on overall behavior quality, performance rates, user ratings, and complaint rates.
Q:What factors contributed to the higher fulfillment rate in the fourth quarter?
A:The factors that contributed to the higher fulfillment rate in the fourth quarter include the continued improvement in the user mix with direct shippers accounting for 55% of total fulfilled orders, an increase in the share of direct shippers that have higher fulfillment expectations, ongoing product enhancements such as the new freight zone and a secondary confirmation step for shipment posting, and an improvement in the matching algorithm and operations that accelerated trucker response times.
Q:How is the base of direct shippers expected to affect fulfillment performance in the future?
A:As the credit scoring system continues to improve, the base of direct shippers is expected to expand and low-quality freight listings will be further phased out, which will maintain a steady upward trend in fulfillment performance. This is expected to enhance the user experience and support further monetization of the platform.
Q:What were the drivers behind the year-over-year increase in transaction service revenue?
A:The year-over-year increase in transaction service revenue was primarily driven by two factors: the continued increase in commission penetration, where the rate reached 80% and the number of cities covered by the commission model reached effective nationwide coverage, and the improvement in monetization per order, where the average monetization per order reached RMB 26.3 due to a refined tiered operating strategy offering differentiated services.
Q:What is the current status of the credit solution business and how is it expected to evolve?
A:The credit solution business is progressing in compliance with regulatory guidance, focusing on risk management, and transitioning towards a more asset-light approach. The business has completed the transition to interest rates of 8% or below for both existing and newly issued loans. Going forward, the business model is expected to improve with the reduction of own capital usage through partnerships with banks and financial institutions, and a focus on a more balanced and sustainable return profile.
Q:Can you describe the progress and future of the company's overseas business?
A:The company's overseas business is an important part of its mid to long-term growth strategy. It is building its international operations under the Q Move brand, currently in the model validation and capability replication stage. The company is pursuing an asset-light and localized approach, gradually advancing investment as it validates the business model and team capabilities.
