Thank you, and welcome again to Cushman & Wakefield's second quarter 2021 earnings conference call. Earlier today, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for the period.

These statements should be considered estimates only, and actual results may differ materially.

Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and other related information are found within the financial tables of our earnings release and appendix of today's presentation. Also, please note that throughout the presentation, comparison and growth rates are to comparable periods of 2020 and are in local currency.
