Bearing with the commitment to fulfilling unmet healthcare needs of consumers, we will continue to enhance our portfolio with high quality, innovative and well-trusted products in the expansion of our branded healthcare business as a strategic growth platform. Our ongoing efforts are set to strengthen our long-term strategic position and thereby enhancing the shareholders' values.".
