Thanks, Melissa. Good morning, everyone, and welcome. I'd like to start the call today by thanking our 4,600 Worthington Steel employees for the work they do every day to support our customers, shareholders, community, and each other. Their hard work and dedication led to a great third quarter for Worthington Steel. Over the quarter, I had the opportunity to visit several of our facilities where I experienced our focus on safety and saw transformation in action. Transformation, our system of continuous improvement to increase margins, reduce working capital, and add capacity is integral to our strategy. Our teams clearly recognize this and incorporate it daily into their work. I've talked with dozens of employees around the company. I am energized by the pride each of them takes and their work and their role in our company. We have a team that is focused and intent on creating value for our shareholders. Together, we continue to help our customers ensure the products the world uses every day are stronger, better performing, and more durable. In our first quarter as a standalone company, our teams execute it on our strategy and continue to make progress on our safety, quality, productivity, and sales goals. We are off to a great start. but we have much more to accomplish. I am confident in our team and our strategy and look forward to sharing updates in the future on how we perform. Now I'll turn it over to COO Jeff Klingler for a look at some of the highlights of the quarter.
