With me is Chris Rollinson, our Chief Financial Officer.
In the first part of the call today, we'll 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, and at the end of the presentation we will collate the questions and answer as many as possible in the time we have available.
Before getting to the nuts and bolts of the presentation, it is worth reflecting on the significance of our longer-term strategy.
In a year where we were working through an inventory overhang, we shipped another million Dante units, matured our first cloud-based management platform called Dante Director, and completed the strategic acquisition of Iris.
Our long-term strategy is to capitalize on the growing installed base of networked AV devices and provide the software platform used by the industry to deliver audio-visual products and services
