Good morning, and thank you for joining the Badger Meter second quarter 2024 earnings conference calls. On the call with me today are Ken Bockhorst, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, and Bob Rockledge, Chief Financial Officer. The earnings release and related slide presentation are available on our website. Quickly, I will cover the safe harbor, reminding you that any forward-looking statements made during this call are subject to various risks and uncertainties, the most important of which are outlined in our press release and SEC filings. On today's call, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial metrics Our earnings slides provide a reconciliation of the gap to non-gap financial metrics used. With that, I'll turn the call over to Ken.

Thanks, Karen. We appreciate all of you joining us for our second quarter earnings call. I'm pleased to report that we surpassed the $200 million quarterly revenue milestone this quarter, delivering total sales of $217 million, representing 23% year-over-year growth. This result was modestly higher than we anticipated, driven by ongoing market demand and incremental backlog conversion in support of our customers. We reported record operating margins in EPS in the quarter, along with strong year-over-year cash flow growth. In summary, at the halfway point of the year, we remain pleased with the trajectory of our business results. I'll hand the call over to Bob to go through the details of the quarter, and I'll come back to talk about BlueEdge, our recently released sustainability report, and the outlook for the back half of the year. Go ahead, Bob.
