Thanks, Gar. And to all who are joining us today, first, I'd like to start by thanking the entire team for all their hard work since I reassumed the CEO position at the beginning of 2024. We believe we are just beginning to see the impact of those effective efforts, and it is encouraging to see. Next, I'm excited to welcome Nate Smith as Tilly's new president and CEO. He brings extensive apparel and consumer product industry experience to Tilly's, and I'm excited for this next chapter of the Tilly's story under his leadership. I remained highly engaged with the company assisting Nate as he transitioned into our company and thereafter. Nate, would you like to say a few words to introduce yourself?
