Welcome to the Opera Limited First Quarter 2023 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers’ presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]

I would now like to turn the call over to your speaker today, Matt Wolfson, Head of Investor Relations. Please begin.

Matthew Wolfson

Thank you for joining us. As usual, I have with me today our Co-CEO, Song Lin, and our CFO, Frode Jacobsen.

Before I hand over the call to Song Lin, I would like to remind everyone that, in the conference call today, the company will be making statements about its future results and expectations, which constitute Forward-Looking Statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Such statements are based on current expectations and how we perceive the current economic environment and are inherently subject to economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of management. You should be cautioned that, these statements are not guarantees of future performance. You may refer to the Safe Harbor statement in the company’s earnings release for details.

Our commentary today will also include non-IFRS financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, which is different from our consolidated financial statements that are prepared and presented based on IFRS. We believe that the use of our non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.

We have also posted unaudited quarterly historic financial results of Opera on our Investor Relations website. We will be live tweeting highlights from the call @InvestorOpera, so please follow along there during the call and in the future.

With that, let me turn the call over to our Co-CEO, Song Lin, who will cover our operational highlights and strategy, and then Frode will discuss our financials and expectations going forward. Song.

Song Lin

Yes, sure. Thanks, Matt. And thank you everyone for joining us today. We are very pleased to announce a very strong first quarter, which extended our previously issued guidance for both revenue and profitability. We maintain healthy momentum as we embark on the remainder of the year and feel great to also raise our 2023 guidance today.
