Good afternoon, everyone. The second quarter of 2026 was strong. Revenue came in at the high end of our guidance range, at $29.5 million. and our adjusted EBITDA loss was within our range at 10.5 million. In April, we announced an improvement to our full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA loss guidance of approximately 40% compared to what we had previously announced while maintaining our revenue growth target of 20 to 30% over the prior year. To achieve this, We put specific cost controls and strategies in place across our businesses, and we believe these changes have resulted in permanent improvements. What makes me most confident about our results is the environment we delivered them in. Over the last several months, the aviation industry experienced one of the most volatile periods of fuel prices. In our case, we also managed through a month of unexpected heavy thunderstorms and flash flooding uncommon in Hawaii, affecting our Mokulele operations. Achieving both our revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets under those conditions speaks to the durability of our operations and the technology we have built. Beyond the financial results, the second quarter produced a series of milestones. We won our first multi-year Surf OS enterprise contract. We doubled on-demand private charter revenue in the second quarter compared to the prior year period. We reduced our existing convertible note principle by 64% and lowered monthly cash amortization payments by up to 50%. We significantly expanded our partnership with Palantir, adding both engineering and business development resources to accelerate the commercialization of Cirq OS. We partnered with Beta Technologies on landmark demonstration flights of electric aircraft in Hawaii with support from Hawaiian Airlines. And we deployed our safety management system a year ahead of the FAA schedule. For the last year and a half, the first phases of our transformation plan focused on completing foundational work, building SurfOS, lowering our cost structure, rationalizing the route network, modernizing the fleet, and restructuring our balance sheet. Though there will always be more to do, the work is now largely behind us. We believe the company is in a place for us to pursue revenue growth and profitability at the same time. This comes with a major shift in our strategic priorities as we now move into the expansion phase of our transformation plan, which runs now through 2027. Each of our leaders will take you through their second quarter results and key achievements, and then explain in more detail their second half of 2026 priorities. Before that, I will turn it over to our newly appointed chairman of the board, Sean Peltzinger.
