Good morning and welcome to the Alliance Inc. second quarter fiscal year 2025 financial results conference call. All participants will be in listen only mode. If you need assistance, please signal a conference specialist by pressing the star key followed by zero. After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. To ask a question, you may press star, spin one. Please note, this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Craig Mahalik, investor relations. Please go ahead.

Yeah, thank you and good morning everyone. We certainly appreciate your time today as well as your interest in Alliance. Joining me today are Dick Wazella, our chairman, president and CEO, and Jim Michaud, our chief financial officer. Dick and Jim will walk through our second quarter 2025 results, provide a strategic update and share our outlook. We'll then open up the call for Q&A. Should have a copy of the financial results that were released yesterday after the market closed. If not, you can find it on our website at alliant.com along with the slides that accompany today's discussion. If you're reviewing those slides, please turn to slide two for the safe harbor statement. As you are aware, we may make forward looking statements on this call during the formal discussion as well as during the Q&A. These statements apply to future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties as well as other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is stated on today's call. These risks and uncertainties and other factors are discussed in the earnings release as well as with other documents filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can find these documents on our website or at scc.gov. I want to point out as well that during today's call, we will discuss some non-GAP measures which we believe will be useful and evaluated in our performance. You should not consider the presentation of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAP. We have provided reconciliations of non-GAP to comparable GAP measures in the tables accompanying the earnings release as well as the slides. So with that, please turn to slide three

and I'll turn it over to Dick to begin.
