Thank you, Matt. Good morning, everyone. Fiscal 2025 turned out to be a transitional year for the company, much like 2024, but for different reasons. Persistent inflation caused consumers to pull back on discretionary spending throughout the year, resulting in total sales for the fiscal year being slightly below last year. We, along with others who import from China, also experienced a slowdown in sales due to uncertainty around the United States tariff policy. However, as part of our long-term strategic plan, we continued looking for innovative ways to strengthen our market position. This led us to acquire the assets of Baby Boom Consumer Products, which added diaper bags for our portfolio of products, as well as several popular brand licenses, such as Bluey and Miss Rachel. This was our second major acquisition over the last two years as we continue to expand our product offerings to drive future growth both domestically and internationally. From an operations perspective, we have worked diligently to take out unnecessary costs to maintain acceptable margins and profits. Overall, we remain financially healthy with adequate cash at year end and total inventories less than last year. Our cash flow for the year was 9.8 million, providing us the ability to pay regular dividends and service debt. Finally, I would like to introduce the newest member of our team, Claire Spencer. Claire joined Crown Crafts on June 16th, and as Matt mentioned, will become CFO on June 30th.
