Thank you, Leila. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Bristow Group's second quarter 2025 earnings call. I am joined on the call today with our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chris Bradshaw, and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Jennifer Whalen. Before we begin, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that during the course of this call, management may make forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that are described in more detail on slide three of our investor presentation. You may access the investor presentation on our website. We will also reference certain non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and free cash flow. A reconciliation of such measures to GAAP is included in the earnings release and the investor presentation. I'll now turn the call over to our President and CEO, Chris.

Thank you, Red, and good morning, everyone. I will begin with a note on safety, which is Bristow's number one core value and our highest operational priority. The company experienced one air accident in Q2 2025, which involved an AW139 helicopter landing on an offshore platform in Brazil. There were no injuries to personnel nor any damage to the offshore facility, but the aircraft was damaged. The event was unusual in that all indications fell within the parameters of a normal landing procedure, but shortly after touching down, a portion of the aircraft structure buckled, causing damage. In terms of workplace safety, we had a very good quarter with continued declines in the number of recordable injuries and lost work time. I want to thank all the Bristow team members around the world for their continued focus on placing safety first every day. Turning to financial performance, we are pleased to report strong second quarter results and to raise Bristow's financial guidance for both 2025 and 2026. I would highlight that the midpoint of 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance represents a 27% increase over the midpoint of 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance, reflecting the strong growth expectations for our business. Robust cash flow generation positions us to execute on Bristow's established capital allocation framework, and both accelerated debt paydown and opportunistic share repurchases commenced in the second quarter. I will now hand it over to our CFO for a more detailed discussion of Q2 results and our financial outlook. Jennifer?
