Our daily game installs soared by over 900% since January, emphasizing the value that Connected Rewards delivers to our clients and driving the company's ongoing success. I am also pleased to report the promotion of Kim Carlson to Chief Operating Officer to lead our operations, product and sales and marketing teams.
