Park Aerospace Corp.

Good afternoon. My name is Paul, and I'll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Park Aerospace Corp. first quarter fiscal year 2027 earnings release conference call and investor presentation. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star 1 on your telephone keypad. If you'd like to withdraw your question, please press star 2. At this time, I will turn today's call over to Mr. Brian Shore, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Shore, you may begin your conference.

Thank you very much, Operator. This is Brian, of course. Welcome all to Park Aerospace's fiscal year 27 first quarter investor call. I have with me, as usual, Mark Esquivel, our President and COO. We published our Q1 earnings release just after the close. If you haven't seen that, you want to take a look at that because in the earnings release, there are instructions as to how you can access the investor presentation that we're about to go through. There's a link and also you can access that on our website. A couple of preliminary comments here. It's only been seven weeks since our Q4 investor call. It's also been summer. So I had a feeling this Q1 call would be kind of a quiet call, just a little updates and we move on. But it actually didn't work out that way. There are a lot of important developments that we need to, we should go through with you, especially starting in the missile systems and then the new plant sections at the end. So what we'll probably try to do is go through the beginning portion of the front end, let's say, of the presentation a little more quickly so we can get to the back end, if you will, more quickly again and spend a little more time because that requires much more discussion, I think. Unfortunately, well, it's fortunate, but in a sense, it's unfortunate.

We have a lot of new investors at PARC.
