Spenser Skates: Thanks, Yao, and good afternoon, everyone. I'm excited to welcome you to the Amplitude Q4 and 2023 earnings call. We have a lot to share today, and we're going to cover it in 3 main sections. First, our financial results for Q4 and 2023 overall. Second, the maturation of Amplitude in 2023, including an update on innovation and customer wins. And thirdly, our views on 2024. Let's start with the Q4 and full year financial highlights. Our fourth quarter revenue was $71.4 million, up 9% year-over-year. Annual recurring revenue was $281 million, up $8 million from the end of the third quarter. We've grown our customer base to more than 2,700. 511 of those customers pay us more than $100,000 per year, up from 480 at the end of 2022.

We also have 39 who pay us more than $1 million a year, up from 30 at the end of last year. Lastly, we delivered almost 10 percentage points of non-GAAP operating margin expansion year-over-year. We also generated $1.5 million of free cash flow in Q4, and $22 million of free cash flow in 2023. Q4 was our largest quarter for net ARR in 2023 marked by broad-based growth across all customer sizes. It was also the largest quarter of new enterprise logo wins in the company's history. While total churn was still high, it was lower than previous quarters. 2023 was a big year for Amplitude. I'm proud of how the team delivered. First, we made great progress in stabilizing the business, focusing on what we can control, we delivered margin expansion and positive free cash flow even against slowing growth.
