Thank you, Steve. Good afternoon, everyone. On today's call, I will provide an overview of our third quarter highlights. Then Mike Willis will provide a detailed review of our financial performance and capital allocation priorities. Jonathan Bodwine will then discuss market dynamics and our operational achievements. Following their remarks, I'll return to share a strategic outlook and guidance before opening the call for your questions. Our team delivered another quarter of record performance across our business through their strong execution, continuing our momentum since our February IPO. As shown on slide four of our earnings presentation, here are the key highlights. We posted record quarterly revenue of $122 million, driven by growth across all three of our end markets. We produced record gross profit of $50 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $38 million, another new quarterly Carmen record. And funded backlog continued to grow, reaching an all-time high of $758 million, providing 100% visibility to the midpoint of our full-year revenue guidance range and a strong foundation for 2026. During the quarter, we also completed a 1.2 billion non-dilutive secondary equity offering that generated significant market demand and resulted in the effective exit of our private equity sponsor as an owner of Carmen shares. Shortly after quarter end, we increased our credit facility, providing the resources to acquire five access industries and pay off our revolver. Summarized on slide five, five access is another strategic tuck in acquisition that expands our capabilities with IP rich content for the commercial space industry. The Arlington Washington based company is specialized provider of critical systems, including large nozzles for liquid fueled rocket engines. Their core focus is on high-performance exotic alloys such as titanium, inconel, and high-temperature, high-strength copper alloys. 5-Axis supports high-priority space launch programs on a single-source basis with its highly skilled team and state-of-the-art facility. We are delighted to welcome the 5-Axis team to Carmen. Now let's turn to our end markets where the demand environment remains very strong. Our customers and their end customers continue to communicate their expectations for significant volume increases in programs we support. One measure of that demand is the fact that we now support more than 80 customers on more than 130 programs. The drivers include increased replenishment activity, the Golden Dome for America, hypersonic developments, unmanned and counter unmanned systems, and an increasing space launch cadence for both defense and commercial missions. Given our continued strong performance, driven by accelerated progress on current programs and the five axis acquisition, we are again raising our 2025 guidance. this time by $7 million at the midpoint for revenue and $2.5 million for adjusted EBITDA. With that overview, I'll turn the call over to Mike for our financial review.
