Thank you, Cyril, and thank you all for joining us today. We delivered a strong third quarter with organic sales growth, margin expansion, and healthy adjusted free cash flow. Net sales were $930 million, up 3% organically, as we outperformed light vehicle industry production and grew commercial vehicle and industrial by 23%. Adjusted EBIT for the quarter was $152 million, which is a margin of 16.3%, supported by favorable product mix and strong year-over-year operating performance. We also converted this into LC-adjusted free cash flow of $136 million. In addition, we continued to return value to shareholders, repurchasing $57 million of common stock and paying $15 million in dividends. We also repaid $50 million of term loan debts, bringing year-to-date repayments to $100 million. And today, We are announcing that our board of directors authorized a new $250 million share repurchase program for 2027. Finally, we are reaffirming our midpoint outlook as strong operating performance is expected to offset foreign exchange headwinds, mainly in the fourth quarters. Let me now turn to slide four and discuss our continued progress across differentiated technologies. We made strong progress within the quarter across our differentiated technologies, both in our turbo and in zero-emission technologies. In turbo, we launched a new high-volume e-turbo with Mercedes. In addition, we secured multiple light vehicle wins, including for hybrids, and programs for both China domestic and export. We also won several commercial vehicle programs across all regions and launched a new off-road turbo application for recreational vehicles with Polaris. In industrial, growth for existing power generation programs further accelerated and exceeds prior expectations. Based on this momentum, we now expect industrial sales to reach $230 million this year and about $300 million in 2027. In zero-emission technologies, we completed multiple e-powertrain light vehicle proof-of-concept tests, validating the value of our high-speed architecture. And on the commercial side, we are progressing with testing and industrialization of our heavy-duty applications, supporting launch in 2027 for our commercial vehicle e-powertrain. Testing of industrial cooling remains on track with launches in 2027. We experienced a strong momentum with a number of customers and secured an industrial e-cooling compressor award with a new customer, Multistack. With that, I will now turn the call over to Sean who will walk you through our financial results and full year outlook.
