Thank you, Matthew, and good afternoon to everyone. Thank you for joining our call today. Our fourth quarter results reflect our strategic execution and further demonstrate our strong value proposition as we continue leveraging the breadth of our capabilities across our fully integrated platforms. Our results are reflective of the economic and geopolitical environment after precious metal prices retreated from the historical high levels we experienced in Q3. Revenues for our quarter nearly doubled to $5 billion compared to the prior year, driven in part by acquisitions, and we are pleased to deliver a 35% increase in gross profit along with a net income of $12 million and earnings per diluted share of 41 cents. In our direct-to-consumer segment, the increase in revenues was driven by higher average order values, as well as our acquisition of MonX in January. We continue to be encouraged by the performance of MonX since the acquisition. JM Bullion continues to perform well, and we are also seeing meaningful productivity improvements from key technology initiatives around AI, as well as increasing mobile adoption. Growth in the wholesale sales and ancillary services segment was broad-based across businesses and geographies, reflecting continued interest in precious metals and an expanding customer base. Our strategic partnership with Tether, now several months into execution, continues to translate into tangible results across the business. We are seeing increased demand for secured lending, driven by our marketing efforts and expanded interest by owners in borrowing against their bullion and collectible portfolios. Our secured lending segment delivered improved profitability in the current quarter compared to the prior year. The growth in our storage and secured lending business enables us to forge deeper, more durable relationships with our customers and drive incremental business across the most complete vertical stack in the industry. As we continue to leverage the strategic investments we've made to build a vertically integrated model spanning the entire precious metals ecosystem, we are seeing an expanding set of opportunities with major retailers and institutional customers, as well as new potential channels of distribution in numismatics and other collectibles. These new channels represent an opportunity to expand our product portfolio into adjacent alternative asset categories where we are seeing significant interest in growth. Our latest acquisitions are performing well, and we continue to make progress on integration efforts. Our Sunshine Mint transaction we closed in April was a major milestone that significantly expands our total production capacity and creates a clear pathway to capturing additional value and market share globally. With its strong capabilities and capacity, Sunshine Mint is well positioned to serve the growing demand from the United States Mint and other sovereign mints around the world. In addition, we've significantly expanded our capabilities with state-of-the-art facilities, enhancing Gold.com's ability to develop differentiated products for our broader valued customers and own portfolio of brands. As we continue to grow and scale, Thank you for joining us. and are excited at what lies ahead for gold.com. With that, I turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer, Cary Dickson, who will provide an overview of our financial performance. Then our President, Thor Gjerdrum, will discuss our key operating metrics. I will then provide further insights into our business and growth strategy, as well as take your questions. Cary?
