Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. If you require any further assistance, please press star 0. I'll now have the conference over to Anna Yen, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our Q&A session to discuss Roblox's second quarter 2021 results. With me today is Roblox's CEO, David Buzuki, and CFO, Mike Guthrie. Before we start, I want to remind everybody that yesterday after market closed, we published a shareholder letter, earnings results, and supplemental materials on our investor relations website at ir.roblox.com. Since the letter provides a lot of details, we'll make some brief opening remarks and reserve the rest of the time for your questions. For our webcast participants, please note the question icon at the bottom of your screen where you can type in your questions. We'll do our best to take as many as possible. On today's call, we may be making forward-looking statements, including but not limited to statements about our future financial performance, growth rates, and business and investment strategy and plans, development of new technologies, investment in and payments to developers, our ability to bring new brands, music, and recording artists to the platform, investments in international growth, the development of the metaverse, the outcome of any litigation, and the success of and plans for recent acquisitions. Any statement that refers to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events, including financial projections, future market conditions, or the impact of COVID on our business and on the economy as a whole is a forward-looking statement and based on assumptions today. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, and we make no obligations to update our disclosures. For more information about factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, please refer to the press release we issued yesterday, as well as risks described in our filings with the SEC, including in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q, files for the fiscal quarter ended March 30th, 2021, and other filings and reports we make with the SEC from time to time. We will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP metrics for a reported result can be found in our press release issued yesterday, as well as in our supplemental slide, copies of which can be found on our Investors Relations website. Finally, this call is being webcast and will be archived on our website shortly after. With that, I'll turn the call over to David.

We're going to start with Mike Guthrie, CFO, and then I'll chime in later. Just before we hand it over to Mike, welcome everyone to our Q2 call. Reaching out to everyone out there and your families in the midst of a lingering COVID situation, we hope you are all doing well. It's been an amazing quarter for us. A year ago, we were in the midst of lockdown. It's the first quarter when we started to see a little light at the end of the tunnel. We're extremely proud and excited with our results. Mike's going to kick it off, and then I'll follow up with some comments.
