Thank you, operator. Hello, everyone. And thank you for joining us for SPORT Radar's earnings call for the second quarter of 2025. Please note that the slides we'll reference during this presentation can be accessed via the webcast on our website, .sportradar.com, and will be posted on our website at the conclusion of this call.

In the interest of time, please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. Please note that some of the information you will hear during our discussion today will consist of forward-looking statements, including without limitation, those regarding revenue and future business outlook. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or trends that differ materially from our forecast.

We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information which speak as of the respective dates. Also during today's call, we will present IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures and operating metrics. Additional disclosures regarding these measures and metrics, including a reconciliation of IFRS to non-IFRS measures, are included in the earnings release supplemental slides and our findings with the SEC, each of which is posted to our investor relations website. Joining me today are Karsten Kirl, our CEO, and Craig Telensine, our CFO. And now I'll turn the call over to Karsten.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. We are excited to report another quarter of strong execution and performance. We delivered all-time record quality revenues up 14% year over year, once again demonstrating the strength and durability of our business. Our performance underscores our position as a mission-critical partner, deeply embedded in the global sports ecosystem. Despite ongoing volatility in the broader economy, our model continues to deliver consistent growth on both top and bottom lines. Revenue growth is what was broad-based across both products and regions. At the same time, our focus on efficiencies and driving increased operating leverage translates to expanding margins and robust cash flow generation. Looking ahead, we see continued strong operating momentum for the remainder of the year. And given this confidence, we are raising our full-year outlook. The durability of our results is driven by our long-term growth strategy anchored on the core pillars we outlined at our investigation. First, we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the rapid expansion of the global sports betting market, given our scale, including the depth and breadth of our sports content, premium products, and deep client relationships.
