Please refer to our SEC filings and the safe harbor statement included in today's presentation. Before I hand the call over to Debbie to discuss our results in greater detail, I would like to start with a brief overview of the quarter. We delivered strong sequential and year-over-year revenue growth in the second quarter while navigating an inconsistent macroeconomic environment. We also achieved continued improvement in profitability, reflecting the production efficiencies our operations team has implemented. These production efficiencies have also enhanced our already This provides us with greater financial flexibility to invest in our business, focusing on the areas where we see the greatest opportunities to create long-term value.

Chief Financial Officer of Miller Industries

Thank you, Will. For the second quarter, revenue was $240 million, up 12.1% year-over-year and 32.7% sequential. This growth was driven by steady production rates to meet retail activity and order intake levels. Gross profit was $35.9 million, or 15% of sales, and Ed Income of $7.3 million. Our improved profitability was driven by operational efficiency and disciplined labor cost management, which was made possible by the outstanding execution of our operations team, Frosted Load. Gross profit was impacted by product mix as it returns to a more normalized balance of chassis and body after periods of significantly elevated inventory in our distribution channel. Deleted EPS was 63 cents per share, up from 5 cents in the first quarter. As expected, EPS during the quarter continued to reflect transaction-related expenses from the LR's acquisition, which impacted EPS by 11 cents in the quarter. We have now recognized the majority of expenses related to the transaction, and we believe that any further impacts will be far less material through our financial results. Our integration of OMARs continues to progress smoothly, and we remain confident that the acquisition will be accretive in the first year after recognizing these expenses. I'd like to now shift to discussion of our balance sheet. At the end of the second quarter, we had a cash balance of $55.6 million, up $2.6 million for last quarter. We also reduced our debt by an additional $20 million since the end of Q1. This combination of strong cash generation and a robust balance sheet provides us with greater financial flexibility to invest in our business, pursue strategic opportunities, and allocate capital to maximize value for the company and our investors. During this quarter, we were pleased to return $4.9 million directly to our shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends. Now, I'll turn the call back to Will to discuss our markets and our outlook.
