Thank you, Mohammed, and good morning, everyone. I'll start with our second quarter results. the key themes driving the quarter's performance, capital allocation, and our updated outlook for 2026. I'll then turn it over to Bernie Lancaster, our Chief Operating Officer, to walk through operational performance by segment. I'll then come back to cover the financials, balance sheet, and our repurchase activity, after which we'll open the line for questions. We delivered another strong quarter, revenue growth, a second consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins of 10%, well ahead of plan. Importantly, the growth this quarter was driven by sand, drilling, infrastructure, along with the recurring rental revenue continuing to grow as aviation, leasing, and equipment rental activity expanded. I'll cover the drivers thematically here. and the segment level detail will come in my financial review later in the call. Total revenue for the second quarter was $26.1 million, up 19% sequentially and up 110% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.6 million, up 37% sequentially, compared to a loss of $3.5 million in the second quarter of last year. In our Ripple segment, Lease revenue grew well ahead of the 19% headline rate. Higher utilization and continued asset deployment drove meaningful sequential revenue growth across both our aviation leasing and equipment and rental businesses. Overall, rentals revenue declined, and that decline is entirely attributable to the swing in aviation asset sale revenue. In regards to aviation asset sale revenue, I want to be straightforward about how we think about it. We are focused on returns. If we can sell an asset for a better return than we might earn by continuing to lease it, we will sell it. That means asset sale revenue will not always be linear quarter to quarter, but our decision making will remain guided by returns. Our sand and drilling segments both outperformed this quarter underpinned by improving activity in the basins where they work, and more importantly, we saw the drilling segment turn adjusted EBITDA positive, and in sand, gross margin turned positive. Turning to capital allocation, we invested $44 million in the quarter, our most active quarter of capital deployment since we began building the aviation platform. A good example of how we approach these opportunities During the quarter, we acquired a Boeing 747 package that included the airframe, two installed engines, a spare engine, and spare parts inventory. We placed the engines on lease with a Blue Chip customer and subsequently sold the airframe and landing gear for $2 million, recovering a portion of our cost basis while retaining the highest returning components of the package. That is the discipline we intend to apply to every dollar we put to work in this business. We also completed our first acquisitions of operating businesses in eight years. On June 12th, we acquired Mission Construction LLC and Be Re Rentals LLC for a combined consideration of $6.5 million, funded entirely with cash on hand. Both are providers of fiber optic services to utility customers in the Midwestern United States, and both sit within our infrastructure segment. where we are seeing a growing opportunity set. These acquisitions extend our presence in the fiber optic services market, broaden our fleet of fiber equipment, and add experienced fiber crews. We are pleased to welcome both teams to the Mammoth family. In total, including these acquisitions, we deployed approximately 50 million of capital during the quarter. Turning to the macro factor off across our end markets, On the natural gas side, LNG-driven demand continues to support activity in the Montney, where gas demand and production are both running at record levels heading into the back half of the year, a constructive setup for our sand business. In aviation, industry-wide demand for leased aircraft, engines, and auxiliary power units remain strong, with OEM production and maintenance capacity still constrained. a dynamic that favors the leasing model we've built our platform around. And in the Permian, drilling activity firmed through the second quarter after a choppier start to the year, consistent with the utilization improvement Bernie will walk through in drilling. As we look to the balance of the year, it's worth reflecting on how much the business has progressed over the last five months. We set our initial 2026 guidance in March We got into revenue growth of greater than 50% for 2026 and said positive adjusted EBITDA was back within reach. At that time, we viewed mid-teens adjusted EBITDA margins as a 2027 objective. Following a strong first quarter, we raised our outlook in May to greater than 60% revenue growth and committed to being adjusted EBITDA positive for the full year. Today, After another quarter of broad-based execution and the contribution from the assets acquired during the second quarter, we're raising our outlook again. We now expect full-year 2026 revenue growth of greater than 90% and adjusted EBITDA margins in excess of 10%. Achieving double-digit margins this year puts us roughly a year ahead of where we expected to be at the start of 2026. marking our second upward revision in just five months on both revenue and profitability. That progress reflects what we're seeing across the business. Our aviation fleet continues to scale on plan, activity has improved across our sand and drilling segments, and our cost structure is materially lower than it was a year ago. Put simply, our strategy is working, first in aviation, and now increasingly across the rest of the portfolio. One final point on the revenue outlook. First half results included approximately 8.5 million of aviation asset sales. Because we do not forecast asset sales, our second half outlook is based entirely on recurring operating revenue. In other words, our guidance reflects the underlying earnings power of the business as it stands today and any future asset sales would represent upside to the outlook we've provided. With that, I'll turn it over to Bernie to walk through the operational performance in more detail.
