Although the operating cash flow was 52.7 billion yuan, actual capital expenditure amounted to 59.3 billion yuan, in addition to 5 billion yuan for media content payments and 2.2 billion yuan for lease liability payments. The company stated that the cash flow included large prepayments for AI computing power, which were used for model upgrades and cloud services.
