"We are pleased that Leju achieved solid growth in both revenue and profit in the second quarter," said Geoffrey He, Leju's Chief Executive Officer. "Our e-commerce revenue was close to our all-time high this quarter benefiting from the implementation of our top-down strategy, and we have accumulated a strong project pipeline for the second half of 2019. Leju's new media business also made great progress this quarter as our stronger content production systems and multi-channel networking operation model helped to improve our media influence and keep our competitive advantage in the market. In addition, we further optimized our operations and management, which helped us generate positive cash inflow from operations in the second quarter. Looking ahead, market uncertainty may increase. We will continue our efforts to improve operational efficiency and profitability while maintaining healthy top-line growth."
