In the fourth quarter, the Company achieved a revenue of US$70 million. For the year ended 2023, total revenues increased 20.9% year-over-year to US$272.5 million. Due to the depreciation of the US dollar in the fourth quarter, resulting in a foreign exchange loss of over US$7 million, the non-GAAP net income for the quarter amounted to US$1.1 million. For the entire year, the non-GAAP net income totaled US$42.7 million, which is 3.4 times that of 2022.During the fourth quarter, UP Fintech added 47,797 new global account holders, marking a 65.9% increase quarter-over-quarter and bringing the global total to 2.2 million, up 9.3% year-over-year.

Over 75% of our total client assets now come from clients beyond the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, including regions such as Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and the US. Singapore&#39;s role as our group&#39;s headquarters has been further underscored: whether on a quarterly or annual basis, the proportion of new funded clients from Singapore has consistently been the highest. Currently, Singapore clients represent the largest share of our group&#39;s total funded clients, with over half of our monthly trading clients hailing from the Singapore market, making it the most active region among all markets. &#34;&#34;In 2024, as the Company celebrates its tenth anniversary and fifth year since going public, we reflect on the past five years of remarkable growth. Our global funded clients and assets have surged over tenfold, with revenue nearly quadrupling and net incomes compounding at a rate of 72%. Looking ahead, we are committed to furthering our globalization strategy, solidifying our market share in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong to emerge as a world-leading fintech brokerage. On the brokerage front, we&#39;ll expand our offerings and services to better cater to the diverse wealth management needs of both individual and institutional investors.

On the institutional side, leveraging our swift account opening process, multi-asset trading capabilities, rapid response times, and customizable solutions, along with our self-developed multi-management platform, we look forward to assisting more institutional clients in enhancing their operational efficiency.&#34; Singapore Brand Expands: Regional New Funded Clients Increase by 70% QoQHong Kong Customer Assets Doubled QoQ, Q4 Net Asset Inflow Beat 2023&#39;s First Three Quarters CombinedIn 2023, UP Fintech&#39;s global presence grew steadily.
