Spenser Skates: Thanks, Yao, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to our third quarter earnings call, and thank you for taking the time to join us. For today's Q3, 2023 call, I'm going to cover three main topics. First, our Q3 financial results alongside a macro and execution update. Second, observations on our evolving market opportunity and category. And third, an update on platform developments and some customer stories. Let's start with a summary of the third quarter. We closed the third quarter with $70.6 million in revenue, up 15% year-over-year. Annual recurring revenue was $273 million, up $5 million from the end of the second quarter. We were profitable on a non-GAAP basis and generated another $7.5 million of positive free cash flow this quarter.

We now have almost 2,500 customers. To put these numbers in context, I'll provide an update on how we're executing on the state of the macro and on how we see our category evolving. On execution, our new ARR was more broad-based this quarter. We welcomed a number of organizations of all sizes to Amplitude, compared to Q2, which was marked by a couple large expansion deals. Total churn, while still high, was lower than the previous quarter. We also drove an incredible company-wide effort to launch our Plus plan. I'll talk more about it shortly, but the Plus plan gives a self-service options for startups, small businesses, and first-time enterprise prospects. Given it's a product-led growth motion, it also allows us to incrementally redirect our sales efforts towards larger enterprise prospects and customers.
