Thank you. Hello, everyone, and welcome to the third quarter earnings call. In the third quarter of 2021, we had several hurricanes hit our core southeast markets, and we are continuing to recover from these events. However, we have remained nimble, and despite these adverse weather-related events, we have sequentially increased EBITDA from last quarter, primarily as a result of increased operational efficiencies. We continue to methodically deploy our capital in various initiatives in order to position the company for long-term growth. These include investments in our technology platform with new product offerings, expansion through the acquisition of complementary businesses, and solidifying key partnership opportunities within our industry. We recently broadened our partnership with OLO, a major digital food ordering platform for the restaurant industry by joining their dispatch network. This offering enables us to access a wider universe of restaurants and diners by utilizing our logistics network to fulfill incremental orders generated through the restaurant's own websites and apps. We believe these continued integrations are key in solidifying our presence in the on-demand delivery sector. During the quarter, we also closed the acquisitions of Flow Payments, Pro Merchant, and Cape Cod Merchant Services, three payments companies that provide services in the space of merchant processing. The acquisition of these businesses is an important milestone in our growth strategy to broaden the company's capabilities and diversify its revenue streams beyond third-party food deliveries. Our goal is to continue to expand our ecosystem, which today is comprised of restaurants, diners, and independent contract drivers, and the product and services that we offer to these constituents. We are excited to build on this ever-expanding ecosystem and being able to add a full suite of fundamental payment processing solutions to our current service offering. As we near the end of fiscal 2021, we are continuing to focus on fundamental strategic initiatives and realize efficiencies within our core operational process.

Now I'll turn it over to Leo, our Chief Financial Officer, for a recap of the third quarter results. Thank you, Carl. I'd like to now review our third quarter 2021 financial results.
