Hello everyone, and welcome to the MercadoLibre Earnings Conference Call for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024. Thank you for joining us.

Tomorrow, August 2, 2024, marks 25 years since we founded MercadoLibre with the mission of democratizing commerce and financial services in Latin America. Over those 25 years, we have built a sustainable company that provides millions of small and medium-sized businesses with the tools they need to compete with larger players; we have enabled the shift to online retail by providing tens of millions of consumers with world-class levels of service; and we have included millions of people into the financial system across the region for the first time.
These are notable achievements, but they are also just a baseline from which we think about our even bigger ambitions to deliver on our mission at an even greater scale. We are as optimistic as ever about the opportunities that are ahead of us and we are excited to pursue them with the culture of entrepreneurship, excellence and innovation that has served us well for the last 25 years. This is therefore a great moment to reaffirm our belief that the best is yet to come.
