Thank you, Sandy. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. We appreciate your continued interest in core molding technologies. In 2019, we set out to fundamentally transform the organization to create a company with three foundational values. Number one, a winning culture that values team success over individual success. A short story here. It's funny how things can make complete sense after some time. You know, I had a leader tell me many years ago after me working all night long getting a plant up and running that winners win. At the time, I thought whatever and just wanted to get some sleep. But I learned it really is a truth. You create a team that sees themselves as winners and they enjoy winning enough to overcome all the challenges that you face as a team. Number two, disciplined execution, which is even more important than a good strategy. Number three, the team values and expects a daily inner drive from every employee to continually improve, learn, and grow. To me, this is the required basic foundation for any high-achieving organization, and we have purposefully driven these values throughout every system in our business. We are more excited than ever by the progress we've made and the robust foundation we've built to drive sustained growth. Through this transformation, we've implemented more robust operating systems, expanded margins, strengthened the balance sheet, created a deep and capable leadership team, and established a performance-driven culture. With that foundation firmly in place, as proven by our financial performance, we are now focused on leveraging all that we've created to drive growth. Over the past two years, we have also completed a comprehensive executive leadership transition through a purposeful and structured process. This strategic emphasis on continuity and readiness supported by extensive training, coaching, and development will ensure strong alignment, continued financial and operating performance, and ultimately drive long-term success for the company and our shareholders. As previously shared, I plan to officially retire from CORE at the end of May, with Eric seceding me as CEO. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting the organization in an executive advisory role through the end of 2027. In that capacity, I'll continue to work closely with Eric, our board, and the broader leadership team to ensure continuity and a smooth and successful transition as they lead the company forward. Looking ahead, I'm confident in Core's long-term direction, the momentum we built, the recent wins across the business, and the strength of our leadership team reinforces a path we are on as the company continues to drive growth and long-term value creation. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Eric and Alex to discuss our fourth quarter and full year performance. Eric?
