Good morning. My name is Bill Dunaway. Welcome to our earnings conference call for the quarter-ended December 31, 2024, our first quarter of fiscal 2025. After the market closed yesterday, we issued a press release reporting our results for the quarter, and this release as well as a slide presentation, which we will refer to on this call, are available on our website at www.stonex.com. The presentation and an archive of the webcast will also be available on our website after the call's conclusion. Before getting underway, we are required to advise you, and all participants should note, that the following discussion should be considered in conjunction with the most recent financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which are detailed in our filings with the SEC. Although the company believes that its forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions regarding its business and future market conditions, there can be no assurances that the company's actual results would not differ materially from any results expected or implied by the company's forward-looking statements. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Readers are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Sean O'Connor, the company's executive vice chairman, for a brief intro.

Thanks, Bill. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining our fiscal 2025 first quarter earnings call. I'm very pleased to report that we continue to build on the momentum we developed during fiscal 2024 with another record quarter to start fiscal 2025, our second record quarter in a row. We have a different format for the earnings call this time based on feedback we received from some of you over the last couple of quarters. As always, please let us know if you have suggestions for us on the format and content of our earnings call and investor relations steps. So back to you, Bill.
