Thank you, Paul. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today. I'm pleased to report another strong quarter for benchmark. Demand continued to improve across much of our portfolio, our teams executed well, and we delivered record revenue alongside earnings growth that significantly outpaced sales. Let me quickly recap the quarter. Revenue and EPS both came in above the high end of prior guidance. Revenue of $811 million was a record for benchmark. and increased 19% year-over-year. EPS of 84 cents increased 35%, nearly twice the rate of revenue growth. Our operating margin improved 70 basis points from the prior year, demonstrating the leverage potential in our model. We also maintained discipline around working capital in support of growth, resulting in a 30% year-over-year improvement in cash cycle days. Looking ahead, demand continues to improve across most of our markets, supported by healthy bookings activity and strong engagement from our customers. Given the acceleration we expect to maintain throughout the back half, this gives us the confidence to raise our outlook for the fourth quarter and the full year as we now expect 2026 revenue to exceed $3 billion. Let me share a few additional highlights from the quarter shown on slide five. Over the last several years, we have transformed our go-to-market approach to engage more effectively with both existing and prospective customers. We are now seeing that translate into growth across a broader portion of the portfolio. Semicap and ACNC again delivered significant growth while Medical remains on pace to deliver double digit growth for the year. Industrial has also begun to turn the corner and it is encouraging to see that progress reflected in the results. Meanwhile, A&D is performing as expected in the 2026 with recent bookings and program wins positioning the sector to return to growth in 2027. We continue to see healthy bookings momentum across the portfolio. In Q2, A&D led our bookings performance. In Q3, the strongest contributions came from medical, industrial, and semi-cap. That is the advantage of a balanced portfolio. Different sectors will lead at different times, but the common thread is we are winning business and converting those wins into growth. Our commitment to customer success is equally evident in our operations. A recent example involved a key AI infrastructure customer that needed additional capacity on a compressed timeline. Our teams moved quickly to expand our manufacturing footprint, support the customer's requirements, and successfully execute the ramp. This is the type of responsiveness and execution that strengthens customer relationships and creates additional opportunities for benchmark. Financial discipline remains just as important. Last quarter, we said we intended to grow earnings at one and a half to two times the rate of revenue growth in 2026. Based on our Q3 performance and the midpoint of our Q4 guidance, we are well positioned to deliver on that commitment. We are also managing this acceleration and growth while strengthening the balance sheet and generating free cash flow. At the same time, we will continue investing where we see attractive opportunities. That includes investments in capacity and capabilities, such as PT4 in Penang, which is ramping well, and our planned building in Thailand, which is expected to be completed in late 2027. As additional opportunities emerge, whether organic or otherwise, we will continue to invest with discipline and a clear focus on returns. With that, I'll turn the call over to Bryan to walk through the financial details for the quarter. Bryan?
