Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Q1 marked encouraging progress on the things we said we would do. Revenue more than doubled year over year. Unit economics moved in the right direction. Beeline Equity closed and funded its first transactions. We executed on the plan we set coming into 2026. Now, let me tell you how we're managing the business right now. The macro environment is what it is. Rates, capital markets, inflation, and geopolitical uncertainty, including the war in Iran, all factor in. Our board, our management team, and I are aligned on a measured approach. We are prioritizing profitable transactions over total volume. We are bringing down our cost base to extend our runway. We are leaning into the parts of the business that already work. Our second 2026 initiative was to validate B-line equity, a capital light and strategically backed opportunity. Simultaneously, we're delivering revenue and growing parts of our business that represent a less risky, more stable platform for profitable growth. Beeline Equity is a key part of that strategy. Beeline Equity was launched in partnership with TYTL Holdings, which is a related party. The partnership brings institutional discipline and capital markets expertise to a product category we believe is structurally novel. Beeline Equity closed its first transactions in the fourth quarter of 2026. Validation of the workflow is in hand, We are now moving from build to scale. On transactions completed to date, unit economics are slightly higher than our lending business, approximately 3.5% of transaction value, plus title revenue averaging approximately $1,500 per close. With zero balance sheet exposure, we monetize the transaction, not the loan. According to the Federal Reserve, U.S. homeowners hold approximately $35 trillion in home equity. the vast majority of which is effectively inaccessible without taking on new debt. For homeowners who do not want to take on new debt to access the equity, this is a path that did not previously exist. With workflow validation in hand and a budding pipeline, we are heading to scaling mode. The best piece is B-line equity is not tied to interest rates, so our revenue grows regardless of market conditions. B-Line Equity generates fee revenue per transaction with zero balance sheet risk. Structurally, it's the highest quality revenue line we have. As many of you know, we hold a minority interest in MagicBlocks, an AI-driven sales platform. We've been working hard to advance this technology as a minority owner. The team there is doing strong work, and the enterprise pipeline is building. MagicBlocks has recently onboarded four major lenders, and one top 10 lender. Magic Blocks' AI is proven to make meaningful industry improvements, and its platform supports Bob, Beeline's proprietary AI sales agent. We're very happy with the technology built inside of Magic Blocks, and we're currently evaluating the optimal structure for the relationship going forward. More to come on this. We recently announced a partnership with a builder in Dallas, Texas, called Structured Real Estate Group. We expect that revenue to start in Q3 and are currently embedding our platform into their web tools and online showrooms. This is not just an immediate opportunity to generate revenue in Q3 and Q4. It's also part of a longer-term strategy to partner with a group that can drive new property transactions in Texas, Florida, and other parts of the Southeast. I'm excited to visit this site next week in Dallas. Our platform rests on four revenue pillars. mortgage title beeline equity technology and ai over time a greater share of revenue will come from capital light fee-based streams that mix is the long-term margin story and distances beeline from other mortgage lenders leveraging the blockchain to fund pure equity transactions the mixed shift toward fee-based revenue is the key driver of long-term margin expansion Our target of achieving $100 million run rate by the end of 2027 remains a key focal point. That's a target. It's not a guarantee, but the building blocks are in place. Q1 was a big step in the right direction. I'll now turn it over to Jess.
