Thanks, Guillermo, and thanks everyone for joining us today. I'm once again pleased to report a strong set of earnings for the second quarter and to share our expectations for the remainder of the year. With two quarters behind us, this year is poised to be a pivotal one in our company history, as we expect to achieve profitability in our third year post-D-Spec. So jumping straight into the highlights of the second quarter of 2024, on page 8, we delivered €54 million in net gaming revenue, more than €15 million or 13% above Q2 2023. This was also a sequential uplift versus the 53 million in Q1, thanks in part to the busy sports calendar with the Euro Cup and Copa America. In terms of product mix, the contribution from our casino segment reached a record high of 59% of total net gaming revenue in the quarter and continues to be the key driver behind our growth. as we not only acquire more customers in this segment, but also continue crossing sport betting customers over to the casino. This was a particularly relevant dynamic this quarter, where customers remained engaged with us, notwithstanding the generally favorable sport results they enjoyed, especially here in Spain, with Real Madrid winning the Champions League and Spain winning the Euro Cup. This growth in net gaming revenue was driven by a 20% increase in average monthly spend per customer to 125 euros, together with a 16% increase in the number of average monthly active customers. In terms of customer acquisitions, we had 73,000 first-time depositors and an average of 236 euros CPA. As we have discussed in prior quarters, our increased focus on casino first customers acquisitions in Spain and in Mexico is the main driver behind the increase in CPA. But the spend we see from customers in this segment is both higher and more stable, leading to better returns on investment despite the higher level of upfront investment. Oscar will cover our improved outlook later, so we will conclude with my remarks with a quick mention of the changes we've done in the board during June. As previously disclosed, we have three new board members joining us recently, an existing board member, Gonzaga Higaro, will be succeeding Pat Ramsey as chairman going forward. We look forward to working with Gonzaga in his new role and would like to thank Pat, who was recently named to the board of directors of Codera Group, for his support, dedication and contributions over the past two and a half years. With this, I will now turn the call over to Oscar to cover the financial highlights of the quarter and our revised 2024 outlook. Thanks, Aviv.
