Now let's welcome Cody Mecca, our CFO, to walk through the financial results for the quarter.
Thank you, Matthias. Hello, everyone. I'll walk you through several key metrics that highlight both our operational execution and improving financial position in Q2 2025. For the quarter, our net loss from operations was 48.1 million compared to 50.6 million in the same period in 2024, excluding depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation. The adjusted operating loss stood at approximately $27.4 million, made up of $7.3 million in cost of revenue, $4.8 million in R&D, $1.9 million in sales and marketing, and $13.4 million in G&A. The monthly operating loss is approximately $9 million during this quarter. These numbers reflect our disciplined cost management, even as we continue to invest in FX-related engineering, talent expansion, and strategic ramp-up initiatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating cash outflow totaled $43.6 million, a 50% increase from $29.1 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily driven by timing of the payments and the operational ramp up of the FX platform. The increase in operating cash usage reflects our ongoing investments in product development, strategic execution, and cost discipline as we position the company for growth. Our financing activities generated $55.1 million in the net cash inflows during the six months ended June 30, 2025, a 106% increase from $26.7 million in the same period of the prior year. As of August 12, Subsequent to Q2's end, we received an additional $45.7 million in financing. Our financing efforts have meaningfully bolstered our liquidity with quarter-end cash position reaching an 18-month high. This improvement reflects our ability to secure capital despite a constrained macroeconomic environment. While total liabilities grew by approximately $29.4 million over the six-month period, much was due to mark-to-market adjustments rather than new financing, highlighting the balance sheet's sensitivity to equity-linked valuation changes under fair value accounting. In summary, our Q2 performance reflects meaningful progress across both capital liquidity and operational fronts. We remain focused on executing strategic investments aligned with our core roadmap while optimizing capital deployment and driving toward long-term sustainable growth. I will now invite Jerry Wong, Global President of FF, to provide some comments.
