During the Q&A portion of the call, please be mindful of others in the queue and limit yourself to one question. And if you have a follow-up question, please rejoin the queue. Before we begin, I'd like to point out that during the course of the call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding future events, including the future financial and operating performance avertives. These forward-looking statements are subject to material risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We refer you to the cautionary language included in today's earnings release, and you can learn more about these risks in our annual and quarterly reports and other filings made with the FCC. Any forward-looking statements that we make today are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. We undertake no obligation to update these statements as a result of new information or future events. During this call, we will also present both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Our GAAP results and GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations can be found in our earnings press release and in the investor slide deck found on our website at investors.birded.com. With that, I'll turn the call over to Executive Chairman Dave Cody.

Good morning, all. Well, this is a very strong quarter by any measure. Although I got to say, by looking at the stock price reaction right now, I wonder what would have happened if we hadn't blown the doors off of every single metric. We've seeded guidance across all metrics in a very convincing way. I continue to say I'm more excited now than ever, and you're seeing why. We're in the early stages of the digital age, and Burdett's position today reflects the years of focus on customer relationships, disciplined investment, operational excellence, and R&D expansion. Selecting a good strategy, sticking with it day by day, and reinforcing it with monthly growth days works. Our technology leadership comes from consistently staying ahead of where the industry is going. This digital transformation is just beginning. The scale and speed of what we're seeing in AI and data centers today is just a preview of what's ahead. Data will continue to increase rapidly, and data centers are essential for storage and processing. We are very well positioned to continue to lead through it. I've seen many business transformations over the years, and what's clear is that our strategy is working as our technology focus grows market share. The investments we've made in R&D and capacity are delivering results today, and more importantly, we believe they're building a sustainable, competitive advantage that will serve us well for years to come. I'm more confident than ever that we're in the early stages of what I believe will be a multi-year period of significant growth and value creation. And we couldn't have a better leadership team than Gio and his group to make it happen. So with that, I'll turn it over to Gio.
