Thank you, Yair, and good morning, good evening, everyone. I'll start by reviewing our KPIs and financial performance for the second quarter, and then I'll discuss our outlook for the full-year 2025, which, as Yair mentioned, we are reaffirming. I would like to start by highlighting 3 key performance indicators for the quarter that we consider primary measures of growth. First, total transaction value increased by more than 34% over Q2 2024, reaching nearly $1.6 billion, driving strong processing revenue growth of 35% for the quarter. Second, our customer base expanded by approximately 24% compared to Q2 2024, approaching 105,000 customers at the end of Q2. And third, our installed base of managed and connected devices grew 16% compared to Q2 2024 to almost 1.38 million devices at the end of the quarter. These KPIs reflect not only the momentum in our business and the underlying strength of our platform, but also demonstrate the flywheel effect and the success of our go-to-market strategy. Looking at our financial performance, revenue for the second quarter was $96 million, which is an increase of 22% over Q2 2024. We continued taking market share, adding nearly 5,000 new customers this quarter and 48,000 managed and connected devices. Revenue included $1.1 million of favorable foreign exchange rate. Organic revenue growth for the second quarter was 20%. We expect organic revenue growth to accelerate throughout the remainder of the year, which I will discuss in our outlook. For the quarter, recurring revenue, which includes payment processing fees and SaaS subscription revenues, increased by 32% compared to last year's second quarter to $71 million and represented 74% of our total revenue in Q2. More specifically, processing revenue grew by 35% to $43 million in Q2, driven by a 16% increase in our installed base of managed and connected devices and a 34% increase in dollar transaction value. This processing revenue growth continues to demonstrate our success as a scalable and valued payment partner to our diverse customer base as the market continues its cash to cashless conversion. Our take rate for the quarter was 2.7%, same as the prior year's quarter. Hardware revenue in the quarter was $25 million, slightly higher than the prior year's quarter, with continued strong demand for our product, solutions, and technology. In the quarter, our installed base grew by 16% compared to last year's second quarter, reaching nearly $1.38 million devices, as we added 48,000 devices to our installed base. Moving now to profitability and margin for the quarter. Gross margin significantly improved to 48.3% compared to 44.3% in the last year's second quarter, driven by both higher recurring and hardware margins. More specifically, our recurring margin increased to 52.8% from 51.5% in the prior-year quarter, mainly driven by an additional improvement in processing margin from the acceleration to meaningful processing volumes with our new banking partner, Adyen, driving improved operational efficiency. We also benefited from the favorable renegotiation of key contracts with several bank acquirers and improved smart-routing capabilities. On the hardware side, our margin increased to 35.4% compared to 28.7% in Q2 2024, driven by the continuing optimization of our supply chain infrastructure and better component sourcing and cost, consistent with our expectations. For the full year, we continue to expect hardware margin to be within the range of 30% to 35%. While total revenue grew by 22% over Q2 of last year, total gross profit grew significantly more by 33% to more than $46 million. Adjusted OpEx of $34 million was 35.6% of revenue, a testament to our disciplined cost management. Adjusted EBITDA increased to nearly $13 million, representing 13% of revenue, an improvement of approximately $4.5 million compared to last year's second quarter and demonstrating the continued scaling of our operating leverage in the business. Operating profit was $9.5 million and includes a one-time gain of $5.6 million, mainly from the share purchase of Nayax Capital. Excluding this one-time gain, operating profit would have been $3.9 million, an improvement of $3 million from last year's second quarter. The significant operating profit increase is mainly driven by improved gross margin. Net income for the quarter was nearly $12 million compared to net loss of $3 million in the prior-year period. Excluding the one- time gain, mainly associated with the share purchase of Nayax Capital, net income would have been $6.1 million, a significant improvement of $9.1 million from the prior-year period. Turning to our balance sheet, on June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits totaled $172 million, short and long-term debt was $156 million, both driven by a note and warrant offering completed in March 2025 of approximately NIS 486 million net, maintaining a solid balance sheet and net cash position. Looking at our cash flow, we generated $12.9 million from operating activities. Free cash flow for the quarter was $5.6 million. Turning now to our outlook and referring to our forward-looking information disclosure in our press release. As Yair mentioned, for the full-year 2025, we are reaffirming our financial outlook of revenue growth of between 30% to 35%, representing a revenue range of $410 million to $425 million on a constant currency basis. This includes an organic revenue growth of at least 25%. Consistent with prior years and reflecting the seasonal nature of our business, we expect stronger performance in the second half of the full year, mainly driven by enterprise sales, particularly from customers with longer procurement cycles. Our guidance for adjusted EBITDA remains unchanged at between $65 million to $70 million, driven by continued revenue growth, market expansion, the full integration of recent acquisitions, and continued operational optimization. We also expect at least 50% free cash flow conversion from adjusted EBITDA for the full-year 2025. As for our 2028 target, we continue to project an annual revenue growth of approximately 35%, driven by a combination of organic growth and strategic M&A. We also continue to target a gross margin of 50% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 30%, as we continue to drive high margin revenues and operational efficiency. In closing, we are well positioned for future growth in 2025 and beyond, as we continue to grow our installed base globally and capture market share. We'll also continue to focus on scaling our recurring revenue stream, in particular our payment processing capabilities, which benefit from the conversion trend of cash to cashless transactions. I'll now turn the call over to the operator for our Q&A session. Operator?
