Thank you, Andy, and good morning to everyone joining us on the call. 2024 was a strong year operationally for Stabilis, one in which our team continued to build a leading last-mile LNG solutions platform equipped for long-term value creation. I'm pleased with much of the progress we made these last few years, from our expanded commercial teams to our increased operational efficiency and improved capital structure. Over the past year, we prioritized asset optimization and operational efficiency, laying the foundation for future growth by strengthening our position to secure new contracts and customers. When we founded Stabilis in 2013, we recognized that while many industries were more than willing to adopt LNG as a lower cost, clean burning fuel, they simply had no way of securing a reliable supply of it in local markets. Customers wanted a reliable product and needed a reliable solution. More than a decade later, we built one of the leading last-mile LNG solution platforms in the United States, one with the ability to provide LNG to both domestic and international customers. While our growth trajectory will not be and has not been linear, we have the capabilities technical know-how, and relationships to scale the business in the years ahead, building on the momentum we've generated to date. In recent years, Stabilis has executed on a strategy that prioritized operational efficiency and disciplined capital allocation, consistent with our long-term focus on value creation. Entering 2025, we remain committed to this strategy, but we will prioritize growth within a handful of high potential markets, including marine, aerospace, and distributed power solutions. To that end, during 2024, we invested the majority of our capex in growth-related investments with a particular focus on expanding our infrastructure and presence along the U.S. Gulf Coast as we scale to serve both new and existing customers. We're reinvesting ahead of further growth and demand for small-scale LNG, just as we've done over the past decade. We want to thank Westy for his contributions over the last three and a half years and wish him success as he embarks on the next chapter of his career. But be assured the company has strong and deep knowledge of the business and the opportunities to grow it. an excellent management team, and an amazing group of talented and dedicated team members that look forward to executing on our strategy. I'm excited to resume the role of CEO and look forward to leading Stabilis. With that, I will turn the call over to Andy to review our financial performance.
