(technical difficulty) results presentation. (Operator Instructions) I would now like to hand the conference over to Mr. Mike Veverka, Managing Director, CEO and Founder. Please go ahead.
Good morning, everyone, and welcome. Let me begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and pay our respects to all elders past and present. Today, I'm joined by our CFO, Jatin Khosla, to present our financial results for the first half of FY26 and our COO, Brad Board, who will provide an update on integration.
I'll start with some perspective. Jumbo is quite a different company compared to just six months ago. We have taken significant steps in our evolution to become a truly diversified global lottery and prize draw company. Eight years ago, 100% of our profits came from Australia. Today, our international operations contributed 1/3 of our profits while this business has tripled in size.
