Good morning, and thank you for joining us on today's call.

In addition, we are joined by Jayma Patel, Vice Chairman. Before we begin, we would like to remind everyone that comments made by management today will contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include plans, expectations, estimates, and projections that involve significant risks and uncertainties. These risks are discussed in the company's earnings release and SEC filings. Actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements. In addition, during today's call, management will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the schedules contained in our earnings release. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures due to our inability to project non-recurring expenses and one-time items. Today's call is also being broadcast live on our investors' website and will be available for replay shortly after the completion of this call. Let me hand the call over to Robeson.

Thank you, Jeff, and hello, everyone. Before diving into our quarterly results, I'd like to address this morning's press release announcing a number of changes to our senior management team.

Marcus will lead us in the next stage of our growth, drawing on his deep operational gaming experience and financial acumen Marcus, would you like to say a few words?
