Thank you, Operator. Good morning, and welcome to the OTC Markets Group First Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. With me today are Cromwell Colson, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Antonia Georgieva, our Chief Financial Officer. Today's call will be accompanied by a slide presentation. Our earnings press release and the presentation are each available on our website. Certain statements during this call and in our presentation may relate to future events or expectations and, as such, may constitute forward-looking statements. Information concerning risks and uncertainties that may impact our actual results is contained in the risk factors section of our 2025 annual report, which is also available on our website. For more information, please refer to the safe harbor statement on slide three of the earnings presentation. Before I turn the call over to Cromwell, I want to take a moment to remember our friend and colleague, Elec Topolaki, whom we tragically lost in March. Elec was an exceptional person. He was smart, reliable, and deeply trusted. But what made Elec truly special was the way in which he connected to and cared for the people around him. He made our team better simply by being part of it. Those who worked alongside him will always remember his kindness, positivity, and a smile that could light up a room. We continue to extend our deepest condolences to Alex family and to all of those like us who love him. With that, I'd like to turn the call over to promo Colson.

Thank you, Dan.
