Thanks, Mark. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us on the call today. Target's 2024 results illustrate the benefits of our established network capabilities and strong operating platform. Our efficient operating structure, together with our approach to disciplined capital allocation, form the basis of a highly flexible and resilient business model. These elements support our ability to provide premium service offerings to customers across our network. while producing strong financial results and maintaining financial flexibility to quickly react to the growth opportunities. These characteristics consistently support our ability to successfully navigate through cycles while maintaining focus on key strategic growth and diversification initiatives. Turning to our segment, regarding our HFS segment, we continue to benefit from consistent customer activity and constructive market dynamics. Additionally, we remain focused on identifying opportunities to strengthen margin contribution through enhanced network optimization and operational efficiencies. This segment continues to exhibit positive momentum, where our customers find added value in our network capabilities and unmatched hospitality solutions. These attributes supported the expansion of existing customer relationships in 2024. as well as adding new customers who find incremental value in our unique capabilities and strategically located assets. These distinct core competencies supported the recent announcement of our multi-year workforce subcontract, supporting Lithium America's development of ThackerPath. We have referenced this opportunity and growth initiative for some time, and we were excited to finalize this contract. As we have consistently stated, these large industrial opportunities inherently have longer sales cycles prior to contract award. However, the Workforce Hub contract exemplifies Target's focus and commitment in utilizing its existing service offering to deliver on strategic diversification initiatives. We're excited about this partnership and establishing a regional presence as we continue evaluating additional growth opportunities in the area. Now moving to the government segment. Our government segment experienced a transition as we moved through the election cycle of 2024 and into new administration in January. However, amidst this disruption, Target has illustrated its ability to provide unmatched solutions supporting a range of critical U.S. government initiatives. The reactivation of our DILI community earlier this month exemplifies the importance of our proven reputation, unmatched capabilities, and strategically located assets. These elements have supported a seamless reactivation of this community and further illustrate the benefits of our flexible operating model and ability to quickly respond to customer demand. In addition, the current administration has indicated the need for a significant increase in facility and hospitality solutions required to adequately implement their stated immigration policy initiatives. Targets existing government-focused network capacity and operational capabilities align with this increased demand, providing a natural solution to support this critical mission. Further, our strong operational reputation and partnerships with industry-leading companies uniquely position Target to quickly and effectively implement these mission-critical solutions. Specifically, Target's existing West Texas assets offer the benefit of purpose-built, readily accessible solutions. We believe this establishes a distinct advantage as we actively pursue opportunities to recontract these assets in support of these critical U.S. government initiatives. We are actively engaged in discussions with industry leading partners and U.S. government agencies regarding opportunities to reactivate our West Texas community. These conversations have included proposals regarding our capability and tours of the facility. We are encouraged by the level of interest in the West Texas community and believe it can quickly satisfy a portion of the government's significant demand for appropriate housing solutions. While final outcomes remain uncertain, we are encouraged by the frequency and substance of ongoing dialogue. While we're actively engaged in pursuing these unique opportunities supporting the U.S. government, we are also continuing to evaluate non-government growth initiatives. As we have previously discussed, these opportunities center on target existing capabilities and include a variety of large industrial projects throughout the U.S. As illustrated by the Lithium America's Workforce Hub Contract Award, the size of these growth opportunities inherently leads to longer sell cycles. However, we believe pursuing these non-government growth initiatives is an important element of our diversification strategy, and we remain committed to pursuing these opportunities. In summary, the strength of our existing customer base, network capabilities, and proven operational flexibility support a resilient business model. These elements have consistently supported our ability to navigate through cycles while maintaining focus on our strategic objectives. This foundation supports our continued focus of providing premium services to our customers while simultaneously pursuing attractive growth opportunities. I'll now turn the call over to Jason to discuss our financial results in more detail.
