Thanks, Ashley. Good morning, everyone. Earlier this morning, not only did we announce our 2024 fourth quarter and full year results, but we also announced an exciting transaction that would lead to the divestment of our light duty business. This proposed transaction is expected to enable Westport to become significantly stronger from a financial perspective and allow us to taper our focus on creating solutions for hard to decarbonize segments of the long haul heavy duty transport and industrial space. Given the excitement around this transaction, we have adjusted the flow of this call so we can focus our time on outlining the proposed transaction, the potential that it offers Westport and its shareholders. So today, following a few opening remarks from me, we'll kick the call off with Bill walking through the fourth quarter and year-end results. And then I'll dive into the details of the transaction before we go to our question and answer period. Despite revenues for the year being down by 9% as compared to the previous year, primarily as a result of the HPDI revenue now sitting in suspira, our dedication to our three key pillars positioned us to deliver improvements across the board, including in our gross profit and gross profit margins. Our adjusted EBITDA and, for one of the first times ever, we delivered positive net cash from operations. I'm very proud of how Westport performed in the 2024 period and recognize we still have a lot of work in front of us as we continue to evolve the company in 2025. I'll now hand the call over to Bill so he can provide some more information on the financial results. Bill?
