Executive Chairman of Tencent Music, Cussion Pang, stated: "The solid performance this quarter validates the effectiveness of our comprehensive, in-depth strategy for cultivating the music ecosystem. By continuously expanding service formats and deepening user engagement, we have built a more diversified and resilient business model. The sustained strong growth in non-membership service revenue within our music-related services provides robust support for this model. AI is expanding participation in content creation; it empowers creators to achieve greater creativity and, in many ways, enhances the scarcity and intrinsic value of high-quality IP. This is precisely the core of boosting user activity and user spending share. Grounded in a strong copyright protection system, we are committed to transforming the value of music IP into a driving force for innovative development, exploring new opportunities for the music industry, and creating sustainable long-term value."
