Thank you. Good afternoon and welcome to EverQuote's second quarter 2026 earnings call. We will be discussing the results announced in our press release issued today after market close. With me on the call this afternoon are Jayme Mendal, EverQuote's CEO, and Joseph Sanborn, EverQuote's CFO and Chief Administrative Officer. During this call, we may make statements related to our business that may be considered forward-looking statements under federal securities laws, including statements considering our financial guidance for the third quarter of 2026. Forward-looking statements may be identified with words and phrases such as aim, expect, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, will, may, continue, upcoming, and similar words and phrases. These statements reflect our views only as of today and should not be considered our views as of any subsequent date. We specifically disclaim any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements except as required by law. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from our expectations. For a discussion of those risks and uncertainties, please refer to our SEC filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the Investor Relations section of our website. Finally, during the course of today's call, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, variable marketing dollars and variable marketing margin, which we believe are helpful to investors. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures was included in the press release we issued after the close of market today, which is available on the investor relations section of our website. And with that, I'll now turn the call over to Jayme.

Thank you, Sarah, and thank you all for joining us today. We continue to execute well and deliver strong results. In Q2, we grew revenue 25% year-over-year to $195.1 million and grew adjusted EBITDA 37% year-over-year to a record $30.1 million. Importantly, we achieved these results while continuing to advance our strategy, unlock new growth levers, and extend our market leadership position. We continue to experience a healthy market backdrop for both auto and homeowners insurance as carriers remain profitable and hungry for growth. Against this backdrop, carriers are turning to EverQuote as a trusted partner to help them grow policies and force. In Q2, we further broadened carrier demand, including a ramp with one major carrier that returned to the marketplace as expected. We also grew local agent demand for referrals to record high levels, while increasing the number of products per agent as we advance our one-stop growth partner strategy with local agents. Both carrier and agent revenue reached record high levels in the quarter. Additionally, our home vertical continues to perform well, growing 35% year over year in Q2, also to record levels. While we execute on behalf of customers, we are also investing to extend our AI leadership position in the market. Our Smart Campaigns AI bidding solution continues to scale, supporting customers' aggressive customer acquisition goals by helping them deploy marketing budgets more effectively and efficiently. Seven of our top 10 carriers now use Smart Campaigns, and in Q2, the amount of revenue flowing through the product increased by over 100% versus the same period last year. Also in Q2, we released our agent-facing version of Smart Campaigns to the first cohort of local agents. As smart campaigns becomes our customers' dominant bidding approach, we are strengthening these relationships by embedding our technology into their core workflows and achieving deeper data integrations, all while helping customers achieve their growth goals. Within our walls, use of AI for everything from coding to automating operational tasks to prototyping products has reached an inflection point as our teams integrate AI into their daily workflows to drive greater productivity and velocity. We are seeing daily active use pervasive across our corporate staff, and within engineering, we are exceeding industry benchmarks with a 25% measured increase in efficiency. On a daily basis, I am impressed by yet another creative, high-value AI-derived output from an EverQuote team member. To name just a few, recent examples include AI agents designed to emulate human shopper personas and identify friction points in our web experiences, as well as upgrades to our AI traffic bidding platform, which put us on a path to increasingly agentic traffic operations. This trend of delivering innovative products at a faster pace will only increase from here. As evidenced by our financial results, our consistent, strong execution on behalf of customers has made us a trusted growth partner of choice for the largest carriers and thousands of local agents. We continue to integrate AI across our operations and our products. and are emerging as an AI leader within our industry. From this position of strength, we see an opportunity to do more to support customers while unlocking new growth vectors for the business. Initially, we will focus on two areas. One, amplifying visibility with consumers through new products that are purpose-built for AI search and agentic commerce. And two, Building AI-native growth solutions for carriers and agents which allow them to derive benefits of AI without having to build and manage as much of the technology in-house. With our rich AI heritage and deep customer relationships, we are uniquely positioned to lead the P&C distribution sector through its transition into the AI era. We look forward to sharing more details of these newer developments in the coming months. I have never been more excited about where we are and where we are going. We have a unique blend of talent, market leadership, ability to innovate, trusted customer relationships, and financial strength. This positions us to build on recent progress, expand our competitive moat, and create a multi-billion dollar market leader with durable long-term growth. I will now turn the call over to Joseph, who will discuss our financial results and outlook.
