Thank you, Adrienne. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us for our earnings call. I'm proud to report EastWest's record-breaking financial results for the third quarter. We continued to grow the bank and reported record quarterly revenue, net income, and earnings per share. This third quarter was also another record quarter for deposits. Our deposit-led growth funded our entire loan growth, allowing us to further optimize our funding mix and contributing to improve liquidity. This deposit growth drove record levels of net interest income for the quarter. We are continuing to attract core deposits while prudently balancing our loan and investment positions to optimize returns. On the fee revenue side, every one of our fee business, wealth management, FX, derivatives, all reported quarter over quarter and year over year growth. Our wealth management business, in particular, continues to expand strongly, reflecting increasing customer penetration and deepening relationships. Asset quality has remained resilient and credit is performing as expected with low absolute levels of net charge-offs and non-performing assets. We have significant capital levels to support our customers and the flexibility to capitalize on opportunities across market environments. With 10% tangible common equity, we continue to operate from a position of strength. I will now turn the call over to Chris to provide more details on our third quarter financial performance.
