And with me today are Aman Bhutani, Chief Executive Officer; and Mark McCaffrey, Chief Financial Officer. Following prepared remarks, we will open up the call for your questions. On today's call, we'll be referencing both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures and other operating and business metrics. A discussion of why we use non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents may be found in the presentation posted to our Investor Relations site at investors.godaddy.net or in today's earnings release on our Form 8-K furnished with the SEC. Growth rates represent year-over-year comparisons unless otherwise noted. The matters we'll be discussing today include forward-looking statements, such as those related to future financial results and our strategies or objectives with respect to future operations. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in our periodic SEC filings. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements that we make on this call are based on assumptions as of today, July 30, 2026. And except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these statements because of new information or future events. With that, I'm happy to introduce Aman.
Amanpal Bhutani: Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us. At GoDaddy, our purpose is to make opportunity more inclusive for all. Our strategy is to serve our customers' needs across the entrepreneur's wheel. And AI is fundamentally changing how our customers create and grow their businesses and how we execute on our strategy. We have built and positioned Airo as an agentic operating system for small businesses. Airo is the centerpiece of GoDaddy's largest initiative, our AI transformation. The AI transformation will enable us to continue to build on our significant track record of delivering value for both our customers and shareholders. When we introduced Airo almost 3 years ago, it was an AI-powered experience that helped our customers discover, engage and adopt more of our products. Last quarter, Airo AI Builder took a significant step beyond that as a distinct agentic experience. Today, we have unified Airo and Airo AI Builder into a single platform as an agentic operating system for small businesses simply called Airo. Airo can build out the comprehensive experience of whatever a small business needs to operate from storefronts and booking systems to client portals, and it helps our customers run their businesses day-to-day. Everything our customers relied on before lives inside the singular immersive AI experience. Airo for small businesses is our biggest focus and source of excitement and customers are loving it. I work directly with …
