4 Expenses
The Group has identified a number of significant expense items below that impacted financial performance for the year:
(a) Finance costs
Included in finance costs are costs related to unsecured notes on issue and interest expense on lease liabilities.
Refer to note 16 for details on unsecured notes on issue and note 12 for details on interest expense on lease liabilities for the year.
(b) Data centre rent paid to APDC
NEXTDC Limited acquired Asia Pacific Data Centre ("APDC") on 18 October 2018 (refer to note 26). Prior to acquisition, APDC was the landlord of three of NEXTDC’s data centre facilities: M1 Melbourne, S1 Sydney and P1 Perth. For the year ended 30 June 2018, NEXTDC paid rent and ancillary amounts to APDC totalling $13.8 million that was included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in Data centre facility costs. On early adoption of AASB 16 from 1 July 2018, this rent ceased to be a Data centre facility cost, and became a depreciation expense and finance cost, until 18 October 2018, when the three leases were derecognised on acquisition.
(c) APDC acquisition costs
A number of acquisition related costs were incurred as a result of the acquisition of APDC. Refer note 26 for further details.

Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expense increased by $18.1 million in 2019 compared to 2018. The increase was primarily due to a $15.5 million increase in employee-related costs, which includes stock-based compensation, associated with our increased headcount from 286 employees as of December 31, 2018 to 345 employees as of December 31, 2019. The remaining increase was principally the result of a $1.2 million increase in trade show and advertising costs and a $1.0 million increase attributed to office related expenses to support the sales team.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (United States Dollars in thousands, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)
Business Metrics
We review a number of operating and financial metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate plans and make strategic decisions, including the following.
Transaction Volume. We define transaction volume as the dollar value of loans facilitated on our platform
during a given period. Transaction volume is an indicator of revenue and overall platform profitability and has
grown substantially in the past several years.
Loan Servicing Portfolio. We define our loan servicing portfolio as the aggregate outstanding consumer loan balance (principal plus accrued interest and fees) serviced by our platform at the date of measurement. Our loan servicing portfolio is an indicator of our servicing activities. The average loan servicing portfolio for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $8,213 million, $6,303 million and $4,501 million, respectively.
Active Merchants. We define active merchants as home improvement merchants and healthcare providers that have submitted at least one consumer application during the twelve months ended at the date of measurement. Because our transaction volume is a function of the size, engagement and growth of our merchant network, active merchants, in aggregate, are an indicator of future revenue and profitability, although they are not directly correlated. The comparative measures can also be impacted by disciplined corrective action taken by the Company to remove merchants from our program who do not meet our customer satisfaction standards.
Cumulative Consumer Accounts. We define cumulative consumer accounts as the aggregate number of consumer accounts approved on our platform since our inception, including accounts with both outstanding and zero balances. Although not directly correlated to revenue, cumulative consumer accounts is a measure of our brand awareness among consumers, as well as the value of the data we have been collecting from such consumers since our inception. We may use this data to support future growth by cross-marketing products and delivering potential additional customers to merchants that may not have been able to source those customers themselves.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018
Operating revenues. Operating revenues decreased by 2.0% from NT$151,253 million in 2018 to NT$148,202 million (US$4,955 million) in
2019, primarily due to decreased other operating revenues, decreased foundry wafer sale, and 2.5% depreciation of the NTD in 2019 from 2018. The decreased foundry wafer sale came from a decline of 2.9% in average selling price from 2018 to 2019, partially offset by a 1.1% increase in foundry wafer shipment from 7,108 thousand 8-inch equivalent wafers in 2018 to 7,189 thousand 8-inch equivalent wafers in 2019.
Operating costs. Operating costs decreased by 1.2% from NT$128,413 million in 2018 to NT$126,887 million (US$4,242 million) in 2019, primarily due to the decreased depreciation expense and other operating costs, which was partially offset by the increased direct material costs.
Gross profit and gross margin. Gross profit decreased from NT$22,840 million in 2018 to NT$21,315 million (US$713 million) in 2019. Our gross margin decreased from 15.1% in 2018 to 14.4% in 2019, primarily due to an annual decline of 2.9% in average selling price.
