Prior to commencing, I would like to kind of remind all attendees that the financial information referenced in this release is presented on a continuing operations basis and all figures are denominated in RMB unless explicitly specified otherwise. It is with great pride that we unveiled the successful conclusion of the fourth quarter, characterized by a noteworthy net profit of RMB155.2 million and an impressive net profit margin of 28.6%. These metrics underscore our firm financial foundation and a steadfast dedication to the operational excellence. In the meanwhile, our revenue stands at RMB542 million, marking a 3.3% increase from the previous quarter and surpassing our earlier forecast despite the year-over-year revenue decrease of 6.4%.
Reflecting on the entire fiscal year, we successfully recorded an annual revenue of RMB2.16 billion and a net income of RMB614.8 million. Additionally, we observed a significant 15.4% increase in enrollment year-over-year, highlighting the growing demand for our offerings. Our prudent financial management resulted in a net cash inflow from operating activities of over RMB135 million, being a solid financial foundation for our future growth initiatives. Throughout the year, we remained agile in responding to market dynamics and evolving user preferences, driving continuous innovation across our product and service portfolio. A pivotal driver has been the dynamic expansion of our interest-based courses, which experienced a 54.9% year-over-year growth.
