Thank you, Ashimi, and good morning, everyone. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $138 million and adjusted net income was $1.54 per share. Strong operations combined with improving market conditions enabled us to generate solid profits during the quarter. We set a quarterly operational throughput record in Hawaii. And the commercial organization was well positioned to capture improving market conditions during the Montana turnaround. Product margins remained firm with a combined index of approximately $13 per barrel so far in the third quarter, especially favoring our distillate-oriented yield profile. The Asian market outlook remained favorable with minimal increases in Chinese exports despite arbitrage opportunities to Europe. Each of our businesses is well positioned to maximize rates as we enter the third quarter. Our retail business continues to shine. Quarterly, same-store fuel and in-store revenue increased by 1.8 and 3% compared to the second quarter of 2024. Underlying profitability also improved, as demonstrated by our last 12 months' total adjusted EBITDA climbing to $85 million. We also made considerable progress on key objectives during the quarter, and we are well on our way towards achieving our strategic priorities for the year. The Montana team delivered solid results, executing the largest turnaround on the site's history. The completion of this event marks the approximate two year anniversary of the Montana acquisition. During this time, we addressed many of the higher risk reliability items. As we've done in prior acquisitions, we will now shift our focus towards improving the profitability of the site through a series of low capital, high return projects. The Hawaii and renewables team progress the SAF project, and remain scheduled for startup in the second half of the year. And we are nearing mechanical completion and commissioning of the pretreatment unit. We're also pleased to announce the joint venture with Mitsubishi and Ineos Corporations. Together, Mitsubishi and Ineos will contribute $100 million for a 36.5% equity interest in the joint venture, while Paw Pacific will remain with a 63.5% controlling interest. This strategic partnership will strengthen our renewable fuels capabilities, including our partner's expertise in global feedstock procurement and product update. Following regulatory clearance, we expect to receive the $100 million investment, which will cover the cost of our project. Despite policy uncertainty, our outlook remains constructive due to the flexibility and structural cost advantages of the project. Amidst this solid operational and strategic execution, we repurchased an additional $28 million of stock at a weighted average price of $17.63, bringing the year-to-date share count down by nearly 8%. Our current share count is approaching 50 million shares, and we continue to measure our financial performance by evaluating our free cash flow on a per-share basis. Our balance sheet is in good shape. with ending liquidity of nearly $650 million, providing flexibility to pursue our strategic objectives and opportunistically repurchase shares. Looking forward, strong market conditions, reduced capital spending requirements, and the expected receipt of the GDP proceeds position us to drive strong cash generation. I'll now turn the call over to Richard to discuss our refining logistics operations.
