BUSINESS REVIEW
Office Software and Services and Others
Revenue from the office software and services and others for the first quarter of 2020 increased 36% year-on-year to RMB390.6 million. The steady year-on-year growth was mainly due to the robust revenue growth from WPS Office subscription services, driven by rapid expansion of user base with enhanced features and services.
For the first quarter of 2020, the office software and services business developed steadily. Global monthly active users of WPS family reached record highs with strong growth of cloud office products and services, particularly WPS Docs. WPS Docs, an online document product, has become one of the largest online collaboration tools in China. Kingsoft Office has further consolidated its leading position in the office market in China, with a dominant user base in WPS Office and WPS Docs. During the quarter, Kingsoft Office provided more than 4 million free business collaborative cloud office accounts to various governments organizations, enterprises, schools and medical institutions, to support remote working and work resumption in the fight against COVID-19. More than 100 government organizations and industry associations have adopted WPS+, WPS business's one-stop cloud office service platform, as their preferred remote office product. With continued innovation and leading position in the field of office software, Beijing Kingsoft Office Software Inc. was named as an Innovation Pioneer Enterprise in Information Technology Application in China, and it was also admitted to the Information Technology Park in Jingkai district, a National Cybersecurity Industrial Park. WPS Office 2019 Security Edition received the prestigious "Butian Award"from the Independent Innovation Report of Internet Information in 2019 and Outstanding Product and Technology Award of Information Technology Application in China in recognition of its product excellency. The above breakthroughs provide a solid foundation for the Company's licensing business to seize opportunities in the areas of cloud office, innovative information technology and infrastructure investment. Going forward, Kingsoft Office will further leverage its technology capabilities to maintain dominant position and stellar reputation in document and information processing, while enhancing user experience and offering easy-to-use yet highly effective products and services.
Online Games
Revenue from the online games business for the first quarter of 2020 reached to RMB780.7 million, represented a 30% growth year-on-year.

During the COVID-19 outbreak, Kingsoft has launched several charity initiatives such as setting up in-game fund raising and offering free game log-ins in response to China's call to support epidemic prevention and control. Kingsoft aimed to deliver positive messages in these unprecedented times and further enhance the positive influence of its IPs.
