Thank you, Paul, and good morning. Welcome to our call to discuss our financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Now, I will turn the call over to David Auld, our executive chairman.

Thank you, Jessica, and good morning. Before we discuss our results, I wanted to take a moment to pay tribute to our founder, Don Horton, who passed away in May. Don was an incredible man with an unstoppable drive and work ethic. that established the foundation and culture of our company. D.R. Horton, the company, would not exist as it does today without Don's tireless pursuit to help as many Americans as possible achieve the dream of home ownership. This simple mission has driven us from the first home that Don built, sold, and closed himself, more than 45 years ago, through the more than one million homes our company has provided for families across the country. We are thankful for Don, and we and all DR Ward employees are beneficiaries of his life's work. Along with our homeowners, customers, contractors, suppliers, land sellers, real estate brokers, and everyone else Don included in his family. It is bittersweet to be talking about the company's results publicly for the first time since his passing. Don took great pride in the company's growth, profitability, and shareholder returns, which have been at the top of all public companies in America for the past decade. We will work every day to preserve this legacy and continue to build upon it to improve our operations and the value of our company. We would also like to thank the countless people who contacted us to share their condolences and memories. We received hundreds of messages from employees across the country, and we heard from many industry leaders of other home building companies, our suppliers, lot developers, bankers, and so many more. On behalf of Don's family and our company, we thank you for the kind words and tributes to a remarkable man. He will be missed. Now I'll turn the call over to Paul Lewinowski, our President and CEO.
