Andy Marsh Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us. Plug delivered a strong third quarter, one that reflects continual growth, improving margins, and discipline execution across our global hydrogen business. For the quarter, we reported $177 million in revenue with balanced strength across our core businesses. Our GenEco electrolyzer business generated about $65 million, up 46% sequentially and 13% year over year. Clear evidence that plug technology continues to gain traction globally as customers scale hydrogen production. I think just as important, we're improving the quality of the growth. Operation Cash Burn improved by more than 50% from the prior quarter, driven by pricing discipline, better execution, and tighter working capital management. These results show the tangible impact of Project Quantum Leap which is transforming Plug into a leaner, more efficient, and more profitable enterprise. Bottom leaf is about focus, simplifying the business, aligning investment to near-term profitability, and resolving legacy issues that have limited performance. The non-cash charges we recognize this quarter reflect that effort, cleaning up the past while sharpening our strategic priorities. As a result today, PLUG is more streamlined, more focused, and better positioned to deliver continual margin improvement and cash flow gains. Operationally, we continue to execute at scale. To date, PLUG has more than 230 megawatts of GenEco electrolyzer programs underway across Europe, Australia, and North America. A real highlight this quarter was delivery of our first 10-megawatt electrolyzer, the GAP project in Portugal, the first phase of a planned 100-megawatt installation, a clear validation of a plug's ability to deliver complex, world-class hydrogen infrastructure. Our hydrogen production network also continues to improve. In August, our Georgia green hydrogen plant produced 324 tons. with 97% uptime and 92.8% efficiency, underscoring the strength and reliability of our operating platform. Earlier today, we announced a strategic initiative to monetize our electricity rights in New York and one other location in partnership with a major U.S. data center developer. This transaction is expected to generate more than $275 million in liquidity through asset monetization and the release of restricted cash. It also positions Plug in the rapidly growing data center market where our fuel cell systems can deliver resilient zero-emission backup power to mission-critical facilities. This initiative is directly linked to our new global hydrogen supply agreement, with one of the world's leading industrial gas companies and potential purchases from some of our North American electrolyzer companies as they deploy hydrogen sites. The agreement secures competitively priced long-term hydrogen supply for plug-in-air customers, a major strategic milestone that reduces the need for near-term self-development of new plants. As a result, we suspended activities under the DOE loan program, allowing us to redeploy capital towards higher return opportunities across our hydrogen network. Together, these actions strengthen our balance sheet, expand our reach into dynamic new markets, and reinforces our disciplined approach to capital allocation. Finally, I want to touch on leadership. As announced last month, Jose Luis Crespo will become Chief Executive Officer on March 1. Jose's been instrumental in driving Plug's commercial growth and building our customer relationships worldwide. This transition represents continuity in strategy, not change. The roadmap we've built together remains in place, focused on growth, profitability, and discipline execution. Also, look, the world changes. It gives Jose the flexibility to evolve our strategy as the hydrogen market matures. He is the right leader for this next chapter, and I am confident Plug will continue to thrive under his direction. In summary, Plug's progress this quarter demonstrates a company that is executing, improving, and building momentum. Our technology, people, and strategy are delivering results, and the fundamentals of our business have never been stronger. With that, I'll turn the call over to Jose, who will discuss our commercial performance and marketing activities in more detail.
