Jim Leahy

Good afternoon and welcome to the Skillz third quarter earnings conference call. On the call today are Andrew Paradise, Skillz Co-Founder and CEO; Casey Chafkin, Co-Founder and CSO, and Jason Roswig, President and CFO. This afternoon, Skillz issued its 2023 third quarter results release, which is available on the company's Investor Relations website.

Before I turn the call over to Andrew, please note that some of management's comments today will include forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements, which are usually identified by the use of words such as will, expect, should, or other similar phrases, are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what we expect. Therefore, you should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on them. We refer you to the company's SEC filings for more detailed discussion of the risks that could impact future operating results and financial condition.

During the call, management will discuss non-GAAP measures, which it believes can be useful in evaluating the company's operating performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is available in the company's third quarter 2023 earnings release.

With that, I'll turn the call over to Andrew for some opening remarks, followed by Jason for a discussion of our financial performance before we open the call for questions. Andrew?

Andrew Paradise

Thank you, and good afternoon to everyone. Throughout the third quarter, we made continued progress on the four strategic pillars we laid out last year that we expect to return Skillz to generating consistent top line growth, cash flow. These four pillars are: first, enhancing our platform to improve customer and developer engagement and retention; second, upleveling our organization; third, improving our go-to-market efficiency; and forth, demonstrating a clear path to profitability.
