During today's call, we will provide a financial and business review of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and the business outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Our earliest press release can be found in the investor relations section of our company website at coherent.com. I would like to remind everyone that during our conference call today, We may make projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or the future financial performance of the company. We wish to caution you that such statements or predictions based on information that is currently available and that actual results may differ materially. We refer you to the documents that the company files from the SEC, including our 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and 8-Ks. These documents continue to identify important risk factors that can cause the actual results to differ materially from those containing their projections or forward-looking statements. This call includes and constitutes the company's official guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. If, at any time after this call, we communicate any material changes to this guidance, we intend that such updates can be done using a public forum, such as a press release or publicly announced conference call. We will refer to both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures during this call By disclosing certain non-GAAP information, management intends to provide investors with additional information to permit further analysis of the company's performance and underlying trends. For historical periods, we provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures that can be found on the Investor Relations section of our website at Coherent.com. Now, let me turn the call over to Jim Anderson, our CEO.
