So good afternoon. My name is Irma Sgarz. I cover the Latin American retail and Internet space. I'm here with Pedro Arnt. Pedro has been with MercadoLibre since '99 and for more than 20 years -- or exactly 20 years, pretty much. And he's been the CFO of the company since 2011. So Pedro, welcome, and thank you very much for being here.
