Thanks, Rash. Good morning, everyone. We continue to see signs that the 2022 Florida legislative reforms are working, providing much-needed stability to the property insurance market, which ultimately benefits policyholders with increased certainty and choice. In the quarter, we experienced lower weather losses, benefiting the loss and LAE ratio. On a separate note, I'm pleased to announce the completion of our 2025-2026 reinsurance renewal for our insurance entities. Our program was fully supported and secured well before the June 1st inception date, something we have consistently achieved over the last few renewal cycles. We also secured $352 million of additional multi-year coverage, taking us through the 2026-2027 hurricane season. The program costs and coverage were consistent with our expectations and will provide specific details at the end of May, as we typically do. The solid execution of our reinsurance strategy is a testament to the strength and consistency of our long-term reinsurance partnerships, some of which span two decades. I'll turn it over to Frank to walk through our financial results. Frank.
