Hello, and welcome to the Pinterest first quarter 2023 earnings conference call. My name is Elliot, I'll be coordinating your call today. [Operator instructions] I would now like to hand over to Neil Doshi, head of investor relations. The floor is yours.
Please go ahead.
Neil Doshi -- Head of Investor Relations
Thank you. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us. Welcome to Pinterest's earnings call for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. I'm Neil Doshi, head of investor relations for Pinterest.
Joining me on the call are Bill Ready, Pinterest's CEO; and Todd Morgenfeld, our chief financial officer and head of business operations. Now, I'll cover the safe harbor. Some of the statements we make today regarding our performance, operations, and outlook may be considered forward-looking and such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. In addition, our results, trends, and outlook for Q2 2023 and beyond are preliminary and are not indicative of future performance.
We are making these forward-looking statements based on information available to us as of today and we disclaim any duty to update them later unless required by law. For more information, please refer to the risk factors discussed in our most recent Form 10-Q or 10-K filed with the SEC available on the Investor Relations section of our website. During this call, we will present both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is included in today's earnings press release and presentation, which are distributed and available to the public through our Investor Relations website located at investor.pinterestinc.com.
Lastly, all growth rates discussed in today's prepared remarks should be considered year over year unless otherwise specified. And now, I'll turn the call over to Bill.
Bill Ready -- Chief Executive Officer
