Thank you, Joe. Good afternoon, everyone. We are delighted to be with you today to discuss our strong 2025 third quarter results, the continued growth of supernations. initial results from our newest acquisition WOW Games and other recent initiatives intended to enhance shareholder value. Let's start with the quarterly results. This afternoon, we reported third quarter consolidated revenue of $95.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $37.5 million. Q3 revenue was comprised of $79.6 million million generated by social casino operations, and $16.2 million generated by SuperNation, our iGaming business. In Q3, we again delivered on our key operating priority of driving a high conversion of revenue to profit and cash flow. Cash flow from operations was $33.4 million, bringing our total for the first nine months of 2025 to $94.1 million. And we are delivering these profits and cash flow results even as we continue to invest in the business and prudently increase marketing spending to acquire new players at SuperNation. Our flagship Double Down Casino app continues to be the engine of profit and cash flow generation for the company. Monetization metrics for the third quarter reflected this performance with ARPA DAO at $1.39 up from $1.30 in Q3 of 2024 and from $1.33 in Q2 of 2025. The payer conversion rate also rose during the quarter to 7.8% up from both Q3 2024 and Q2 2025 levels. We continue to develop innovative enhancements to Double Down Casino, including with upcoming releases of a new slot lobby for our mobile app and a new link jackpot system. We also remain very focused on the direct-to-consumer social casino opportunity and DTC remains an important part of our growth strategy. In Q3, we increased the percentage of social casino revenue generated by DTC purchases as DTC revenue for Double Down Casino is now running at over 15%. We are also launching additional product changes within app purchase messaging to drive further growth of DTC revenue as a percentage of our overall social casino revenue. DTC not only helps to improve margins, it also enhances player engagement and retention. Our goal is to execute Q4 with a DTC percentage of social casino revenue of over 20%. As I mentioned a moment ago, we are complementing our strong free cash flow profile and financial positions through other initiatives intended to build new value for shareholders. Our commitment to building our social casino business is highlighted by the July acquisition of Wow Games, a social casino operator based in Hamburg, Germany. We believe the growth potential in international social casino market is currently greater than in the United States. and we are working to leverage this investment for our shareholders. Turning to SuperNation, Q3 revenue of $16.2 million yet again represented the highest quarterly performance of the business since our acquisition in late 2023 and grew $700,000 on a quarterly sponsor basis. For perspective, SuperNation's quarterly revenue run rate has more than doubled since Double Down closed this acquisition as we continue to make steady positive progress on acquiring new players. Our investment in new player acquisition continues to generate strong returns even as the number of new players increase. At this time, we believe that investment in player acquisition could drive further success and growth for SuperNation into 2026. We are also excited to share with you that our team has been working on a new first iGaming casino with a new name to be launched early next year. Our experience in owning and operating SuperNation over the last few quarters and our success with integrating its operations and driving very healthy levels of pipeline growth reinforce our confidence that we can leverage our core strengths, financial discipline, and strong balances to further diversify our company by focusing on new gaming categories and underserved geographies. This priority is reflected in our acquisition of WoW games and our ongoing search for other acquisition targets that meet our criteria for expanding our operations into new markets while further diversifying our revenue and cash flow sources to create value for social shareholders. Now I will turn it over to our CFO, Joe Sigrich, to walk us through our financials before providing my closing remarks. Joe?
