Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. From an execution standpoint, Q3 was another strong quarter, an important one in demonstrating the consistency of delivery we're now seeing across the total combined business. We continue to make progress in the areas that matter most, accelerating high margin recurring revenue growth, expanding profitability, and strengthening our balance sheet, all while maintaining disciplined execution. This quarter clearly shows the operating model we're building, focused, disciplined, and designed to deliver profitable accelerated growth at scale. As we previously articulated, the heavy lifting of integration is fundamentally behind us. And we've been clear in recent earnings calls about the growth milestones we've set for ourselves. For some time, we've been signaling a Q4 exit run rate for FY26 of 10% total revenue growth and north of 10% growth in recurring revenue. And based on our performance exit in Q3, We feel confident in achieving those milestones, which gives us the desired momentum to press our foot on the growth accelerator in FY27. Next slide, please. It's important to note that it's the first quarter in which our year-over-year results reflect the combined businesses. Stepping back and looking at the quarter, the key themes are increasing ARR growth, consistency, and balance to our performance. Service revenue grew 11% year-over-year and now represents 80% of total revenue. Total revenue increased 7% year-over-year, reflecting solid underlying organic performance, with the prior year comp benefiting from $2 million in accelerated product revenue as per the UAS gap change communicated on the Q4 FY25 earnings call. This means on an apples for apples basis, total revenue growth was 9% year over year. At the same time, adjusted EBITDA increased 26% year over year, driven by top line growth with adjusted EBITDA margins expanding by 4% to 23%. Moving to the balance sheet, where net debt to adjusted EBITDA continues to strengthen as we exited the quarter at 2.7 times. This combination of growth, margin expansion, and balance sheet improvement reflects a business that is scaling responsibly and executing against clear priorities, and it reinforces the strength of our Unity strategy and the scalability of our Unity platform, giving us clear line of sight to accelerating growth in FY27. Next slide, please. In Q3, we secured a truly landmark win for the business. a highly meaningful South African public sector contract to deliver AI video and visibility services to government fleets collectively operating more than 100,000 total assets. The agreement is anticipated to represent one of the largest deployments in our history and is expected to generate meaningful recurring SaaS and services revenue with solid margins over a multi-year term following a phased implementation. Preliminary department enrollments are highly encouraging and ahead of our initial internal expectations. This award reflects the increasing scale at which government agencies are adopting data-driven fleet technologies in partnership with Tier 1 providers. Programs of this size typically anchor long duration customer relationships and create a foundation for additional software and analytics adoption over time. Under this program, we will deploy Unity including advanced visibility and AI video capabilities to enhance safety, security, and situational awareness across a large-scale operational estate. A key differentiator in winning this contract was our partnership with MTN, which provides the scale, connectivity, and platform support required for a deployment of this magnitude. This award underscores our ability to meet the demanding requirements of Tier 1 customers, and highlights the strength of our partner ecosystem in delivering reliable, scalable solutions. With that, I'll hand over to Jeff to walk through our commercial momentum and customer execution. Jeff?
