Thank you, Michael. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. To begin, I would like to highlight the successful year we had in 2024. I will then turn things over to Kristen to share updates on the business, followed by a review of our financials from Matt. 2024 was a year of significant momentum for financing America. Throughout the year, we accomplished numerous strategic objectives that strengthened our balance sheet and enhanced the business, driving the company's return to profitability. Despite market uncertainty in 2024, we focused on what we could control to improve the fundamentals of the business. We integrated our retail platform, finalized our corporate bond exchange, completed our reverse stock split, rationalized corporate overhead, and increased our funding facilities. We believe these actions have positioned us well to execute our 2025 strategic objectives. For the year, we funded more than $1.9 billion in loans to help our customers, a 19% increase in volume year over year. Carrying this momentum into 25, we expect full year origination volume to be in the range of 2.4 to 2.7 billion, a 26 to 42% increase from 24. Turning to the income statement. In 2024, the company recognized positive results for gap net income of $40 million, adjusted net income of $14 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $60 million, reflecting continued operational improvements. These improvements are best represented by the $200 million increase in gap net income and the nearly $100 million increase in adjusted net income from 23 to 24. I'm pleased with our performance. which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. Finance of America is making home equity a mainstream component of retirement planning, and we remain confident in our strategic direction and the long-term value of the business. For additional information, please refer to the presentation on our investor relations website, outlining our total investable market and investment opportunity. As we wrap up 2024, I want to thank our incredible team for their dedication and hard work, Because of their efforts, Financial America is well positioned for an exciting year ahead. In 25, we look forward to building our momentum, expanding our reach, and driving even greater value for our customers and stakeholders. Now I'll turn it over to Kristen for an update on our operations.
