Thanks, Brian, and thank you all for joining our call tonight. I'm going to break my prepared remarks into three areas. First, I want to provide a summary of our first quarter results. Secondly, some operational commentary on the present businesses including some new partnership announcements, and finally, I'll conclude with some commentary about the future. To close out the June quarter, we finished with $59 million in revenue $14 million in EBITDA, and $0.13 of non-GAAP earnings per share. To highlight our progress over the past year, last June quarter, we reported $30.6 million in revenue, $4.2 million in EBITDA, and $0.05 of non-GAAP earnings per share. Our as reported results represent nearly 100% growth in revenues, a 250% increase in EBITDA and over 150% growth in non-GAAP earnings per share. We showcase the inherent operating leverage of a platform. Barrett will take you through more detail on the numbers. But we have had many solid quarters over the past three years. But this quarter was a true breakout quarter for the company against our expectations. It was the best performance in the history of Digital Turbine. Specifically, the revenue growth of our application business grew 45% year-over-year. And our content business, which had a 12% revenue decline year-over-year for the month of March had nearly a 20% growth rate in the month of June year-over-year, as the combination of our swapping out the legacy mobile policy content platform during the April and May months to a new and improved content platform is beginning to show encouraging daily active user results plus improving advertiser rates. For the application business, we saw year-over-year revenue per device or RPD increases of over 25% here in the U.S. and over 50% for International. Demand remains strong, driven by our social media, gaming, streaming audio, and streaming video verticals. We continue to see improving conversion rates on our applications, which leads to higher bid rates as consumers are increasingly engaging in the applications we deliver. We are also starting to see new device growth especially here in the U.S. rebound in growth from earlier in the year. The dynamic that our sequential device penetration grew to over 43 million devices in the quarter, while the broader smartphone market declined by approximately 20% showcases how much room we have as a penetration story against the broader opportunity. Turning to the operations, our growth levers of devices, products and media are accelerating the growth rates across the board. Regarding devices, I'm excited to announce the expansion of our platform to power over the top TV streaming. Specifically, we anticipate launching our software platform across all the major U.S. mobile operators, including T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon. As many of you know, the U.S. operators are launching over the top TV offerings to complement their existing offerings. We anticipate that our software will be assisting in powering the applications and management of the content on these devices, ranging from delivering the content, advertising notifications, and ultimately may include cross device integration in the living room. These launches should deepen our existing relationships with AT&T and Verizon. And also should represent our first device launching with our Ignite software on the combined T-Mobile Sprint entity. Launch stage will vary depending upon operator. But we expect the first operator to launch this calendar year with our software. And then we'll be expanding with others in 2021.This is a nice proof point of the value add of our mission, which is to connect the dots between all the people who want to be on the devices to the devices themselves. I want to emphasize that this is not just about the TV opportunity and new device types. But more importantly, it's a proof point of the depth and breadth of the relationships we have with our U.S. operator partners. We've also made additional international progress. Our Samsung relationship continues to scale with 13 million devices added in the June quarter. This compares to a 130,000 devices and the June quarter of a year ago. We're also pleased to announce new supply relationships with both Telecom Italia and Nokia that will launch later this calendar year, to complement our recently announced relationships with Telefonica, Xiaomi, LG and AT&T Mexico, that are all in various launch phases right now. Our international device momentum is accelerating and combined with a television opportunity and 5G U.S. launches make us bullish on our ability to continue to grow device volumes. On the product front, our diversification efforts continue to showcase momentum. Our dynamic install business grew by over 40% year-over-year, but today is approximately 60% of the revenues, which compares to 85% a year ago. Our content businesses now over 35% of our revenues, and I'm pleased to announce our first of hopefully many cross-selling wins from our Mobile Posse acquisition, as we launch our first content media offerings with Tracfone and Blue here in the United States and Latin America. We expect continued revenue synergies in the future as global momentum is strong. I'm really excited about the total addressable market for a content business. Today we're generating approximately $15 million a quarter across over 8 million daily active users or DAUs. And as we grow DAUs with our existing partners and expand the DAUs to our other distribution partners, that growth should be a catalyst to continue top line growth for years to come, given the recurring nature of these revenue streams. And today, our overall recurring revenues are now over 35% compared to 5% a year ago. Turning to other products, as recently as March, over 90% of our SingleTap revenues were derived from our social media platform integration with one of our Tier 1 U.S. operators. That revenue has been relatively consistent over time, but is now roughly only half have our SingleTap revenues as we've begun scaling SingleTap with many other partners, as well as scaling our own SingleTap demand side platform. As a result of these efforts, our SingleTap revenues have doubled since the March quarter and for a non-social media platform integration, SingleTap revenues have already surpassed in the September quarter what they achieved in the June quarter. It's still not as material as we believe it can be, but the trajectory is becoming more meaningful each day, with some very strong momentum behind it. On the media side, we've signed a master service agreement with T-Mobile's advertising team and anticipate distributing their brand relationships with names like Shell, Nike, Walgreens, and so on, onto our platform. And as you've heard me say on prior calls, continuing to diversify our channel relationships on the demand side of our business is a key driver of growth. And this is a nice proof point of our expanding team over relationship and our expanding channel reach, which scales our global demand. We continue to leverage our other global relationships as showcased in our results. For example, we're seeing Asian demand growing on U.S. supply and LATAM supply and are seeing our U.S. demand grow on our LATAM and Asian devices and so on. Global scale brings more global scale, and the global scale of these deeper media relationships with global companies like Alibaba, TikTok, Pandora, King, Snap, Zynga and so on, is paying dividends against our global supply. Turning to future, I've never been more optimistic about our prospects. We have the right product to the right customers at the right time. And equally important, as a mobile cloud software company, the global scale and operating leverage flywheel is now in full effect. We're laser focused on increasing our device footprint, product diversity and global media expansion. The combination of all three of these things is what creates platform network effects that we are seeing evolve real time in our results. We'll look to continue to horizontally expand to additional supply partners, and also look for opportunities in our content business, to vertically integrate our offerings that should create additional margin enhancements and increased recurring revenues. And last, but probably should be first, it is a shout out to our DT team. The past few months have been traumatic at a macro level for all of us. Lives are being disrupted, but our team remains focused, committed and is hustling to deliver results in a virtual environment. And sometimes when we hear people are the difference, many here may roll their eyes sounds like a platitude or cliche, but in this case, a fact. The global team is a team I've never been prouder of in these challenging times. And for investors, I can't emphasize enough the power of having an all-in team that's busting their tails to execute on the vision. As teams lean in delivering approximately $1 million of revenue per employee per year, which is world class performance, with very few companies anywhere that can claim that kind of efficiency. And with that, let me turn it over to Barrett, to take you through the numbers.
