including their company's reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q. Brexit American Resources assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. I'd now like to turn the call over to our Executive Chairman, Stuart Rose.
Good morning, and thank you again to everyone for joining us. During the third quarter of 2025, Rex American Resources continued to demonstrate the strength and operational expertise that has defined our company for over four decades. I'm pleased to report that we are making progress on operational milestones we set out to accomplish and continue to position Rex for sustained long-term growth. Our third quarter results reflect our focus on solidifying our core business of ethanol production. Our strong results during the quarter benefited from supportive ethanol industry dynamics, especially export volumes and strong crush spreads. Our one earth energy facility expansion to 200 million gallons per year is continuing and is on track for completion in 2026. This expansion will significantly enhance our production capabilities and operational efficiency, contributing meaningfully to future performance. Additionally, we have begun examining potential benefits we can derive in the near term from 45Z tax credits. We are actively engaged with groups to assess our operations and assign a carbon intensity score to our production operations, which we expect to be below the threshold to begin earning credits. The third quarter demonstrated once again that REX's focus on operational excellence, strategic investments, and disciplined capital allocation continues to deliver superior results. Our net income per share of 71 cents represent strong performance, reflecting our team's exceptional execution and managing input costs and timely execution leading to strong margins. Our continuing strong financial results have allowed us to maintain our strong balance sheet, including approximately $335 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. even after the two-date spend of approximately $156 million on our capital projects for plant expansion and carbon capture of One Earth Energy. As we have consistently emphasized, our success stems from having great facilities, Corn Belt locations, and most importantly, we feel the most skilled and dedicated team in the industry. Their attention to detail and market awareness continues to set Rex apart from our competitors. I want to thank our entire team for their outstanding efforts this quarter and their unwavering commitment to excellence. Now I turn the call over to our CEO, Zafar Rizvi, to discuss our operational achievements and strategic initiatives in greater detail.
Thank you, Stuart. The expansion of ethanol production at the One Earth facility continues to progress steadily and remains on track for completion and in operation in 2026. Alongside this project, we are advancing our evaluation of our carbon intensity score and expect favorable outcome as we incorporate assessment from multiple independent experts. Regarding the near-term benefits available under the 45Z program, we continue to position the company to capitalize on these opportunities while we wait final guidance from the Treasury Department. For our carbon capture and sequestration initiative, the EPA currently estimates that our Class VI injection well permit application will be finalized in June 2026. RECS remains in active constructive communication with the EPA throughout this process. As of the end of the third quarter, we have invested approximately $155.8 million in our carbon capture and ethanol expansion projects. We remain within our revised combined budget range of $220 million to $230 million for both initiatives. I will now turn the call over to Doug Bregman to review our financial results. Doug?
