Thank you, Charlie. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us to review our most recent results. In the second quarter, we continued to demonstrate strong execution against our objectives. We posted higher revenue growth than forecast with expanding margins, both on a sequential and year-over-year basis. Once again, this led to continued gap profitability and a strengthening balance sheet as we exited the second quarter with over $2 billion in cash and cash equivalents and no debt. Our momentum with customers continues to build, During the second quarter, we begin our first system deployment with Associated Wholesale Grocers, or AWG, the nation's largest cooperative food wholesaler to independently owned supermarkets. We're excited about the potential at AWG, which operates over 9 million square feet of warehouse space and distributes to over 3,500 retail locations. To build upon this momentum, our teams met with many existing and prospective customers last month at the MODEX trade show in Atlanta. A clear theme emerged with our existing customers in that they would like us to do more for them as our system performance and product portfolio have improved since we originally established these relationships. Our goal is to take our core system architecture and layer-on capabilities that allow customers to automate their supply chain fully end-to-end The analogy I often use that it's like an operating system and we add apps. Examples of this include our expansion into e-commerce and dock management. Having this total solution is also driving strong interest from prospective customers. These customers span new geographies and new verticals such as consumer packaged goods, food service, and apparel in addition to our existing verticals such as grocery, general merchandise, beverage, and health care. Within several of these verticals, a capability that has drawn strong interest is our system's ability to sequence goods from route optimization. On the technology front, we continue to make progress on our SIEM micro product for e-commerce order fulfillment and remained on track to install our first prototypes this calendar year. We also continue to invest in technologies meant to generate greater performance from our system, notably next generation battery technology with NIBOL to enhance the operability and efficiency of our bot fleet. We are also now deploying a larger version of our Symbot to handle a larger variety of SKUs or retrieve multiple cases at once. We believe our continued investment in new bot technologies and enhancements will be a key enabler to handle a larger amount of goods across multiple new verticals and use cases. In summary, we are focused on execution and delivering brightly happy customers, sustainable growth, and expanded profitability. As always, I want to thank our team for all their hard work, along with our customers and our investors for their continued support. I'll now turn it over to Izzy, who will discuss our financial results and outlook. Izzy?
