The filing includes financial statements for the year, showing a decrease in revenue to $1,518,056,000 from $1,655,255,000 in the previous year. This decrease is attributed to softer demand across all regions due to market conditions and challenges resulting from a recent app rollout.
Cost of revenue for the year was $828,683,000, representing 54.6% of revenue, compared to 56.7% in the previous year. This decrease in cost ratio is due to a decrease in product and material costs and decreased inventory-related write-downs.
The company reported a gross profit of $689,373,000 for the year, compared to $716,490,000 in the previous year, with the decline attributed to reduced sales volume.

Sales and marketing expenses rose to $290,609,000 from $267,518,000, primarily driven by increased advertising and marketing activities.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $142,252,000 from $168,518,000, primarily due to a reduction in legal fees related to intellectual property litigation.
The company reported a net loss of $38,146,000 for the year, compared to a net loss of $10,274,000 in the previous year.
Cash provided by operating activities was $189,906,000, while cash used in investing and financing activities was $105,242,000 and $137,309,000, respectively.
