Jose Manuel Daes
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Brad, and thank you, everyone, for participating on today's call. We are pleased to report another period of record revenue that demonstrates the strength and resilience of our business with robust double-digit growth in both our single-family residential and multifamily and commercial businesses. Our backlog is at another record level, and we continue to gain market share. The strength of our platform continues to differentiate us in the market. That includes the quality of our products, our vertically integrated low-cost model, and our deep customer relationships. As we discussed last quarter, we expected the cost pressure from tariffs to hit ahead of the offsetting benefit from our pricing actions and other efficiency measures. That played out as anticipated. Thank you for joining us. With strong reception of our recently launched legacy line and a West Coast showroom on track to open in late September to support growing demand and marking our seventh U.S. showroom opened in the past few years. Our vinyl line continues to build momentum and our automation program is advancing on schedule. Capsicum to quarter end, we completed our random affiliation from the Cayman Islands to the United States in July. This further aligns our corporate structure with our U.S. listing, enhances index eligibility, and broadens our potential investor base. We also expect to complete the purchase of the land for the potential new U.S. facility in the coming weeks. As we discussed last quarter, we continue to advance discussions with state and local authorities on incentives that will support the economics of the potential project, and we are working to finalize the remaining terms. Tecnoglass has been built over many years with a focus on high-quality products, customer service, and operational excellence. That discipline continues to underpin the business today. Over the long term, we expect this model to keep generating durable cash flow, which supports our ability to return capital to shareholders. It also lets us keep investing in the growth initiatives that will drive long term value. We remain as confident as ever in our ability to continue building long term value for our shareholders. I will now turn the call over to Chris to provide additional operating highlights.
