The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the expanded revenue from Xiaomi and Kingsoft Ecosystem and AI related customers and our further penetration into enterprise cloud customers.

Revenues from public cloud services were RMB1,353.5 million (US$186.5 million), increased by 14.0% from RMB1,187.4 million in the same quarter of 2024 and decreased by 4.0% from RMB1,409.8 million last quarter.

The sequential decrease was mainly due to the Chinese New Year impact and differentiated delivery schedules for various projects. Other revenues were nil this quarter. Cost of revenues was RMB1,651.7 million (US$227.6 million), representing an increase of 11.4% from RMB1,482.4 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was mainly due to our investment into AI computing resources.

Depreciation and amortization costs increased from RMB183.5 million in the same quarter of 2024 to RMB378.5 million (US$52.2 million) this quarter. The increase was mainly due to the depreciation of newly acquired servers which were allocated to AI business.
