Thanks, Robin, and thanks everybody for joining us today. As Robin mentioned, for detailed information about our second quarter performance, please refer to our Q2 2026 earnings press release issued today and subsequent 10Q filing. Today, I will share brief remarks that are focused on our products and the strategic initiatives we're driving forward. In May, GoPRO's board of directors authorized a process to evaluate a potential sale of the company and other strategic alternatives aimed at maximizing shareholder value. The inquiries we've received span the defense, consumer, and financial sectors, and we're in the later stages of the process. As I've shared, this process has my full support. In Q2, we delivered the Mission 1 series to the world. After debuting the three-camera lineup at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show in April, we opened pre-orders and began shipping our new Mission 1 Pro and Mission 1 cameras in May at GoPro.com and through retail partners globally. These include Best Buy and Walmart and specialized imaging retailers B&H and Adorama. With pricing starting at $499 for existing GoPro subscribers, we've made the world's most capable compact cinema cameras financially within reach for even budget-constrained creators. The Mission 1 series has earned significant praise from consumers, critics, and the digital imaging industry at large. Multiple Editor's Choice Awards and strong recommendations from Tom's Guide, Gizmodo, PCMag, Mashable, Wired, Digital Camera World, and The Shortcut are just a few of the rave reviews our new cameras have received so far. And last week, we expanded our Mission 1 series lineup with new special editions and capability-expanding accessories. The new Mission 1 Pro Creator Edition is perfect for vloggers and creators who want an ultra-capable, complete professional camera system that's ready for any mission. The Mission 1 Pro Ultimate Creator Edition is for filmmakers looking for maximum flexibility and the best of everything.

The new Mission 1 Series Special Editions and the entire suite of accessories are available on GoPro.com and at retailers globally later this month. And for a limited time, customers can get $100 off Mission 1, Mission 1 Pro, and Mission 1 Pro Grip Edition at GoPro.com and retailers worldwide. and we're also excited to share an update on the upcoming launch of the third camera in our Mission One series lineup, Mission One Pro ILS, a specialized camera for inspired enthusiasts and demanding professionals who desire the versatility of an interchangeable lens system that can match the breadth of their creative vision. Mission One Pro ILS supports more than 300 readily available micro four-thirds lenses, along with GoPro's award-winning in-camera hypersmooth video stabilization. The combination of hypersmooth video stabilization with such a broad range of lens options in a small, durable 8K compact cinema camera has created enormous excitement and anticipation within the industry. And they'll only have to wait until next month to get their hands on it when Mission One Pro ILS launches in September. Mission One Pro ILS will offer several options for seeing a live preview from your camera, checking the focus of your shot, and previewing footage on a larger screen. One of those options is the new Mission Monitor app. It will deliver a live preview of your shot on your iPhone or iPad, plus professional monitoring tools including composition overlays and remote camera control to frame, expose, and capture your cinematic vision perfectly. The Mission Monitor app will be available from the Apple App Store in September.
