Hello, and good morning. I hope everyone had the opportunity to review our earnings release, listen to our prepared marks, and view the slide presentation that were all posted earlier on our investor relations website. After today's Q&A session, we will also post an audio replay of this call. Please note that in this Q&A session, we may make forward-looking statements about the company's performance.

Okay. Thanks, JT. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to our third quarter call. Our proactive efforts to strategically align our portfolio with consumer demand are yielding positive results. By effectively targeting areas of opportunity with differentiated offerings, we're finding pockets of growth amid ongoing pressures in the bread category. To address these challenges, we're redefining traditional loaf, incorporating value and better-for-you attributes that align with evolving consumer preferences. While it will take time, We're confident our strong portfolio of brands will successfully enable this transformation. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our dedicated Flowers team for their hard work and resilience during this period of change. We are also grateful for the ongoing support of our shareholders as we strive to enhance long-term performance. And finally, I'd like to acknowledge that this will be Steve Kinsey's final earnings call after 18 years as our CFO. His contributions to Flowers have been invaluable. and we're deeply appreciative of his leadership throughout the years. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. And with that, Daniel, we're ready for questions.
