Thanks operator, good morning and thank you for joining us for Zip's first half FY25 results. To open, I'd like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet today, the Gadigal of the Eora nation and pay our respects to elders, past and present.

This conference call is also being webcast, and an archive will be available on this website.

I'm joined today by Zip's group CEO Cynthia Scott and Group CFO Gordon Bell, who will present today's results. We also have US CEO Joe Heck and ANZ CEO Peter Gray, who will join us for Q&A.

We will start this call with some prepared remarks and then open up to questions.

With that, I'll now hand over the call to our group CEO, Cynthia Scott.
