David Karnovsky - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - AnalystCool. I want to start on the app side of your business. Q1 earnings, you announced a strategic change in that AppLovin will run its content studios as a stand-alone business rather than as an integrated asset with software and that the portfolio would undergo strategic review. You had messaged this for a couple of orders, but it is a notable shift when we think about your business going back a year ago. So can you discuss a little bit the backdrop to the decision?
