Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining our call today. My name is Aidan Williams, I'm co-founder and CEO at Audinate. And with me is Rob Goss, our CFO.
In the first part of the call today, we will be talking through the investor presentation that accompanied our financial statements, both of which were lodged with the ASX earlier today. You can ask questions at any time by typing them into the Q&A box that you should find in your Zoom client. At the end of the presentation, we will collate all those questions, and we'll answer as many as we can in the time that we have available.
Before getting into the details of the full year results presentation, I'd like to briefly recap our earlier announcement on Tuesday, the August 6, before moving into the substance of our full year release. The trigger for this announcement was the Board approval of our FY25 budget after which it was considered appropriate to make an announcement in light of our continuous disclosure obligations.
