Before we start, I would like to call your attention to the safe harvest statement regarding forward-looking information in our trading update and investor presentation. That safe harvest statement also applies to this investor call. Now I will pass on to Martin.

Thank you, Paul. I'm going to keep my comments brief as we only spoke a few weeks ago. What we are seeing in Q1 reflects what we had foreshadowed with the year end results. Mainly the red bubble is moving into a period of rapidly increasing profitability as the business scales. The scaling reflects the fundamentals of the business. Our strong margins and low marginal OPEX underlying solid growth and the acceleration brought about by the COVID crisis. Our challenge and opportunity is to extend the gains created by this period of accelerated growth and ensure Redbubble is the defining global e-commerce leader in the new commerce category of more relevant and meaningful products. We must be willing to both innovate and invest to ensure this is achieved. We are much closer to the start of the game than the finish. After Emma runs through the numbers, I'll comment further on this matter. Over to Emma.
