We delivered another solid quarter of revenue growth in Q2, reflecting the strength of our unique business model. We added over a dozen new product features to our user and admin experiences, and strengthened our infrastructure, all while driving a 30% free cash flow margin. With our massive scale and continued product innovation, we’re well on our way to advancing our mission of designing a more enlightened way of working.
