I am proud that we have delivered on the commitments we made 90 days ago. We have delivered tremendous turnover growth in Q2 of 48% in constant currency which was well above our business outlook. I am particularly pleased with the broad-based strength in the business, with all four regions delivering strong double-digit turnover growth. Gross profit growth of 77% was also incredibly strong, well ahead of turnover growth, and significantly above our guidance. At the same time, we have been investing and transforming our business at unprecedented pace and scale. We have not let anything distract us from our key strategic priorities, and we are better positioned than ever before to continue delivering on our strategy for long term profitable growth.”
