Good afternoon and welcome to Riot Platform's second quarter 2024 earnings conference call. My name is Phil McPherson, and joining me on today's call from RIOT are Jason Less, CEO, Colin Yee, CFO, and Jason Chung, Executive Vice President and Head of Corporate Development and Strategy. On the RIOT Investor Relations website, you can find our second quarter 2024 earnings press release and accompanying earnings presentation, which are intended to supplement today's prepared remarks and which include discussion of certain non-GAAP items. Non-GAAP financial measures provided should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and are included as additional clarifying items to aid investors in further understanding the company's second quarter performance. During today's call, we will be making forward-looking statements regarding potential future events. These statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ due to factors discussed in today's earnings press release, in comments and responses made during today's call, and in the risk factors section of our Form 10-K, and Form 10-Q, including for the quarter ended June 30th, 2024, which will be filed today after this call, as well as other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. With that, I will now turn the call over to Jason Less, CEO of Riot Platforms.

Thank you, Phil, and good afternoon, everyone.
