Revenue in the second quarter increased 43% year-on-year and 41% quarter-on-quarter to RMB551.0 million.

For the second quarter of 2020, Kingsoft Office, as a beneficiary of increased demand in remote working, maintained stable and healthy development. Kingsoft Office's office software licensing business maintained its rapid growth. The Company continued to promote cloud office migration to its leading customers, further strengthening its market leadership in document and information processing. In the first half of 2020, Kingsoft Office launched new editions of WPS Office such as Integrated Edition, Business Edition and Graphics Edition, while establishing an open Application Program Interface (API) with developer partners in its ecosystem. As of June 2020, Kingsoft has completed product adaptation with 190 developer partners, achieving integration in areas such as work collaboration, input method, mail, voice recognition, handwriting pad and tablet.
