Thank you, Simon, and welcome everyone to the call. We delivered strong Q1 fiscal 27 results today with revenue and earnings per share above the high end of guidance ranges, and this outperformance flows through to our full year guidance. Today we shared in a separate announcement that we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MaintainX, a leading modern maintenance and asset operations solutions used by organizations to manage and optimize day-to-day operations. The acquisition reflects Autodesk's commitment to becoming a long-term leader in operations and builds upon Autodesk Operations Solutions, AOS, capabilities in digital twins and factor design. I'm going to devote my opening remarks to operations and will return to our other strategic initiatives after Dinesh's discussion of our financial performance and guidance. Autodesk's strategy is to converge design, make, and operate data and context continuously through the full lifecycle. This benefits owners, designers, builders, manufacturers, and operators through increased efficiency and resilience and reduced risk and downtime. Operations is highly complementary to the design and make category, reflecting growing customer demand and more continuous data-driven workflows from concept through to operation and optimization. With this expansion in operations, we plan to unlock higher-value system-level AI, extend our duration with assets and systems from years to decades, and meaningfully expand our addressable market. MaintainX helps organizations manage maintenance, assets, and frontline operations with a modern, mobile-first platform with pre-built integrations that serve as both a system of record and action for day-to-day operational workflows. It's led by world-class engineering and AI talent and delivers a scalable go-to-market growth motion for operations and strong expansion potential across customer segments, geographies, and adjacent use cases. Its position as a key component of maintenance and operational activity gives Autodesk access to rich data on asset condition and history, inspections, maintenance patterns, and real-world performance. Bringing MaintainX into Autodesk begins to build the data and context loop that enables a new generation of more integrated, data-driven, and AI-powered capabilities connecting digital design and make with real-world performance to deliver predictive maintenance, intelligent automation, and real-time decision support. In short, we are excited to welcome the MaintainX team to Autodesk, and this acquisition will position us to help our customers increase efficiency and resilience and reduce risk and downtime through convergence. Dinesh, over to you to discuss our quarterly financial performance and guidance.
