Good morning and thank you for joining us. As I begin my first earnings call as CEO, I want to thank Kieran O'Sullivan for his leadership and the strong foundation he built at CTS. The Evolution 2030 strategy and our focus on diversification remain central to our value creation. We delivered a strong second quarter with revenue growing 7% to 145 million. Our diversified end markets increased 15% year-over-year and represented 59% of total sales. Equally important, we converted that growth into record profitability, achieving gross margin of 41.5%, adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.4%, and adjusted diluted EPS of 74 cents. While the quarter benefited from certain unusual items that contributed approximately seven cents of favorable EPS impact, we still delivered record earnings per share. Robust growth across our diversified end markets drove strong financial results and improved the quality of our earnings despite modest declines in transportation. Combined with disciplined execution, This momentum gives us confidence in our ability to continue delivering profitable growth and long-term shareholder value. Ashish Agrawal, our CFO, will take us through the Safe Harbor Statement. Ashish?
