President and CEO

Thank you, John, and good morning, everyone. We're pleased to report our second quarter results, which reflect a favorable contribution from our recent acquisition of Baby Boom assets, a solid overall gross profit and continued strong execution as we await a stronger macro environment. The highlight of the quarter was our purchase of the assets of Baby Boom consumer products, which positively contributed to our bottom line. We're excited about the addition of Baby Boom's portfolio of branded and licensed products that enhances our presence in the toddler segment and further extends our product offerings with the addition of diaper bags. The Baby Boom acquisition comes at a potential positive inflection point for customer demand, just as we head into our most important selling season. Interest rate cuts and lower inflation are adding to consumer purchasing power, And just this past Friday, the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index climbed to its highest level since April. Looking ahead, we're confident in our forward trajectory. Before I share more on our strategy and outlook, I'll turn it over to Craig to cover our solid second quarter results in more detail.
