Glory Star expected to further increase profitability

Published

on

Glory Star New Media Group, a Nasdaq-listed digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, is expected to be able to further increase its profitability with its growing market share and economy of scale.

The company reported a 15.8% growth in its Non-GAAP net income to US$16.9 million for the six-months ended June 30 from US$14.6 million in the same period of last year.

During the first half of this year, the company’s total revenues grew 144.6% to US$71.9 million from US$29.4 million, thanks to the increase in advertising revenues and Cheers e-Mall marketplace service revenue, primarily attributable to the development and promotion of its mobile and online businesses.

Income from operations surged 40.9% to US$16.2 million from US$11.5 million.

During the first half year of 2021, the company successfully grew its top and bottom lines as it allocated more resources to sales and marketing to augment its brand equity and fuel its long-term growth engine.

The company’s rising economy of scale will allow it to gradually reduce operating expenses and capitalize on the rising popularity of video content and deliver lasting shareholder value.

At the end of June 30, the number of downloads of the company’s Cheers App reached 215.6 million, up from 121 million a year earlier. The increase in the number, a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of its Cheers App and its e-Mall platform traffic, showed that it had successfully converted viewers of its content to its Cheers App.

Average daily active users (DAUs) of the app grew to 7.1 million from 4.5 million for the same period. Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on its Cheers e-Mall platform jumped to 231,630 from 19,984.

Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of the Cheers App reached US$181.2 million in the first six months of this year, compared with US$20 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in GMV was driven significantly by its ability to attract and retain users to its Cheers App through its professionally produced content and its ability to further enhance its product offerings.

The company has a strong commitment to its corporate mission, meticulous execution of growth strategies, methodical expansion in both overseas and domestic markets, proactive engagement of Generation Z users through innovative products, and prudent investment in sales and marketing initiatives. It plans to refine its competitive edge in content-driven e-commerce of premium lifestyle, deepen our expertise in integrating quality content with lifestyle commerce, and expand our brand influence among Generation Z consumers on a global basis.

During the first half year, the resurgence of Covid-19 and its Delta variant caused the Chinese government to impose travel restrictions within mainland China, particularly in the southern regions of the country.

The company temporarily suspended the production of its traditional “Cheers Series” TV programs, thus resulting in a decline in its cost of revenues during the first six month of 2021. Once the travel restrictions are eased, the company will resume its content production activities in the second half of this year.

As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of US$20.3 million, compared with US$17.7 million at the end of last year.

Blockchain and AI technologies

Since its establishment in 2016, Glory Star has pioneered a unique, new business model integrating e-commerce services with premium video content. With the use of blockchain and AI technologies in its systems, the company has become a leading online digital media and entertainment company in China, with a strong track record both in terms of viewership and production capabilities. The company launched its Cheers App in 2018 to integrate e-commerce services with professionally generated content (PGC).

During the first half, the company produced many more live streaming shows and started to provide title sponsor advertising services at a higher price point. It also spent substantially on the development of the Cheers Chat and Cheers Car.

The company plans to provide more user-generated content (UGC) by forming partnerships with other platforms. It will allow global users to upload their content to its video platforms in the fourth quarter of this year while users will receive advertising revenue or get rewards from viewers directly.

The company will also allow content providers to use its software-as-a-service (SaaS) supply chain system with the blockchain technology that will help them match with relevant merchandisers. Content providers will be able to share the revenue from the sales of products on their video accounts.

The company’s ability to integrate premium lifestyle content, including short videos, online variety shows, online dramas, live streaming, its Cheers lifestyle video series, e-Mall, and mobile app, along with innovative e-commerce offerings on its platform enables it to pursue its mission of enriching people’s lives.

Its large and active user base has created valuable engagement opportunities with consumers and enhanced platform stickiness with thousands of domestic and international brands.

Non-fungible token

Glory Star’s Naschain platform offers one-stop solutions, which include smart contract, multichain universe and cross-chain consensus mechanisms, to users with its blockchain technology. It can help e-shoppers trace the origins of the products, avoid buying counterfeit goods, lower their logistics costs and protect their privacy.

The company has signed an agreement with the Beijing Minsheng Art Museum to use the company’s non-fungible token (NFT) technology, which can be used in copy-rights’ registration, verification, transaction and valuation, to protect the intellectual property of the museum’s artworks. The company will be able to boost its market share by acquiring some NFT service providers.

Pincus Plastic Surgery Advances Patient-Centered Aesthetic Care Under the Leadership of Dr. David Pincus

Published

on

New York, USA, 11th April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Pincus Plastic Surgery, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Pincus, continues to strengthen its reputation as a trusted destination for surgical and non-surgical aesthetic care. Known for his disciplined methodology and commitment to natural-looking results, Dr. Pincus has built a practice centered on precision, education, and individualized treatment planning.

At the core of his philosophy is a simple principle: aesthetic enhancements should complement a patient’s natural features rather than change their identity. This guiding belief shapes every consultation, procedure, and recovery plan offered at the practice.

A Philosophy Built on Natural Results and Precision

Dr. David Pincus approaches plastic surgery with a focus on balance and proportion. Rather than pursuing dramatic transformations, he prioritizes outcomes that feel subtle, harmonious, and aligned with each patient’s existing anatomy.

His work reflects a strong technical foundation combined with an artistic understanding of facial and body aesthetics. By carefully evaluating structure, symmetry, and patient goals, he develops treatment strategies that emphasize refinement over exaggeration.

Patients seeking care at Pincus Plastic Surgery often value this restrained and thoughtful approach, especially those looking for enhancements that maintain authenticity in appearance.

Comprehensive Surgical and Non-Surgical Expertise

Pincus Plastic Surgery offers a wide range of services designed to address both facial and body concerns. Dr. Pincus brings extensive experience in surgical procedures as well as minimally invasive treatments, allowing patients to explore solutions that match their needs, comfort level, and long-term goals.

Each treatment plan is developed with attention to detail and guided by medical best practices. Whether addressing rejuvenation, contouring, or corrective procedures, Dr. Pincus focuses on outcomes that are both effective and sustainable.

By offering both surgical and non-surgical options under one practice, patients benefit from continuity of care and a consistent treatment philosophy.

Patient Consultations Built on Collaboration and Clarity

A defining feature of Dr. Pincus’s practice is his commitment to patient collaboration. Every consultation is structured as an open conversation where patients can share their goals, concerns, and expectations.

Dr. Pincus takes time to evaluate each case individually, ensuring that patients understand what is realistically achievable. He provides detailed explanations of available procedures, potential outcomes, and recovery timelines.

This transparent approach helps patients make informed decisions with confidence. It also allows Dr. Pincus to design treatment plans that align closely with both aesthetic goals and medical suitability.

Education as a Cornerstone of Care

Dr. Pincus places strong emphasis on patient education throughout the entire treatment process. He believes that informed patients are better prepared for surgery and experience smoother recoveries.

From pre-procedure instructions to post-operative care, patients receive clear and straightforward guidance. This includes detailed explanations of preparation steps, what to expect during procedures, and how to manage recovery effectively.

By prioritizing education, the practice reduces uncertainty and builds trust, which contributes to stronger long-term patient relationships.

A Balanced Approach to Innovation and Safety

While aesthetic medicine continues to evolve, Dr. Pincus maintains a careful and selective approach to new techniques and technologies. He remains actively informed about advancements in the field but integrates them into his practice only when they meet established standards for safety, reliability, and consistency.

This measured approach ensures that patients benefit from modern advancements without compromising proven medical principles. It also reflects his commitment to maintaining high standards of care across all procedures.

Patients at Pincus Plastic Surgery can expect treatments that reflect both current innovation and time-tested surgical expertise.

Focus on Confidence and Individual Identity

Beyond technical outcomes, Dr. Pincus places significant importance on the emotional and psychological aspects of aesthetic care. He understands that patients often seek plastic surgery to feel more confident and comfortable in their appearance.

His goal is to achieve results that enhance self-assurance while preserving each individual’s identity. Rather than creating a uniform aesthetic outcome, he tailors each procedure to the patient’s unique facial structure, body type, and personal vision.

This individualized approach helps patients feel more like themselves, not different versions of someone else.

A Reputation Built on Trust and Consistency

Over the years, Dr. David Pincus has developed a strong reputation for reliability, precision, and patient-centered care. His consistent results and thoughtful approach have made Pincus Plastic Surgery a respected name in the field of aesthetic medicine.

Patients often highlight the practice’s clear communication, professional environment, and steady focus on realistic outcomes. These qualities contribute to a sense of trust that extends beyond individual procedures.

Commitment to Long-Term Patient Relationships

Pincus Plastic Surgery emphasizes continuity of care, supporting patients not only during procedures but throughout their aesthetic journeys. Follow-up care, ongoing consultations, and long-term planning are all part of the practice’s approach.

Dr. Pincus views each patient relationship as an ongoing partnership rather than a single interaction. This long-term perspective allows for better outcomes and more personalized care over time.

Advancing Personalized Treatment Planning Through Modern Aesthetic Evaluation

Dr. David Pincus continues to refine the consultation and planning process by placing increased focus on individualized aesthetic analysis and long-term treatment mapping. Rather than viewing procedures in isolation, he evaluates each patient’s facial structure or body composition as part of a broader aesthetic profile. This allows him to anticipate how results will age over time and how multiple treatments may work together to achieve optimal balance. By integrating careful preoperative assessment with detailed imaging and clinical evaluation, he is able to design highly personalized treatment pathways that evolve with each patient’s needs. This forward-thinking approach helps ensure that outcomes remain consistent, natural, and aligned with the patient’s appearance over the long term, reinforcing the practice’s commitment to sustainable and thoughtful aesthetic care.

About Pincus Plastic Surgery

The practice offers a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to enhance natural beauty through precision, balance, and individualized care.
