Thanks, Chris, and thank you all for listening today. A few of the major exhibition companies, including AMC and Cinemark, noted a surge in consumer demand and box office momentum in the remarks to investors last month. That box office momentum is the primary source of our optimism for new business opportunities over the next year, as demand in our business is typically preceded by box office strength over the previous six to nine months. To state the obvious, our customers are generally better positioned to invest in critical systems upgrades when experienced strength in their businesses and business outlook. The domestic box office saw a substantial rebound in the June quarter, drawing in approximately $2.6 billion in revenue, representing a 37% increase over the year-ago period. This increase was driven by a dynamic mix of titles, including family-friendly blockbusters, a Minecraft movie, and Lilo and Stitch, and the darker and equally well-reviewed Sinners. This variety of movie styles and tones is important for a few reasons. In addition to gross revenue achieved, it demonstrates that a wide variety of audiences will turn out for compelling and immersive content. While August and September are historically lower months at the box office, the outlook for ticket sales over the period of 2025 remains upbeat, with approximately $9.4 billion in total domestic revenue expected for the full year per analyst consensus, supported by major year-end releases, including Zootopia 2 and the next installment of Avatar. Our customers are committed to maintaining and enhancing their theaters and auditoriums to continuously elevate their guest experience with elite sight and sound technologies. We've identified the addressable market for our existing base products and services and our laser focus on the tactics to convert these opportunities into revenue over the coming year. At the same time, we continue to pursue a major strategic goal, which is to reduce our exposure to the business cycles inherent in the cinema equipment industry. and to find opportunities to build on our existing base of more predictable and recurring business. MIT's deep experience and strong track record of performance put us in a leadership position to execute cinema technology and upgrades, build-outs, and special projects. Now I'll turn call over to Francois Godfrey, our president and COO.
