Thank you, Sergio, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Frontera's third quarter 2025 operating and financial results conference call. Joining me on the call are Orlando Cabrales, Frontera's CEO, and Rene Burgos, Frontera's CFO. Also available to answer questions at the end of the call We have Alejandra Bonilla, General Counsel, Renata Campanaro, VP Marketing, Logistics, and Business Sustainability, Iván Arevalo, VP Reservoir, Reserves, and Operations, and Andrés Armiento, VP of Corporate Sustainability and People. Thank you for joining us. During the quarter, the company generated $86.6 million in operating EBITDA from continuing operations. generated adjusted infrastructure EBITDA of $30.4 million and $115 million in cash provided by operating activities, extended its crude oil hedges through the first half of 2026, and ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet, including $172.1 million of total cash. The company also declared quarterly dividends of Canadian 0.0625 cents per share, or approximately 3.1 million in aggregate, and has bought 385,200 shares through its non-course issue bid program year-to-date. Over the past 12 months, Frontera has distributed more than 112 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, including 66.5 million paid to shareholders in the third quarter via substantial issuer bid, reducing its shares outstanding by 14% since the end of 2024. Additionally, the company successfully repurchased over $80 million of its senior unsecured notes due to 2028, reducing the balance outstanding to $314 million, demonstrating a strong commitment to returning capital to all stakeholders. In addition, Frontera is pleased to announce it has been approved to trade on the OTCQX best market that increases the company's visibility in the United States and reinforces Frontera's commitment to strong financial disclosure and corporate governance practices. Trading in the OTCQX enhances the company's access to a broader U.S. investor base, including the U.S. retail market, offering shareholders improved liquidity and supporting long-term value creation. Trading began today under the ticker symbol FECTF. Notably, OTC market activity has represented over 30% of FEC's total share trading over the past five years, highlighting the relevance of the U.S. market to Frontera's investor community. Access to this highest tier of the U.S. OTC market further strengthens Frontera's ability to reach a broader investor base and enhance long-term value creation. In regards to Guyana, the government of Guyana, through its council, communicated its willingness to participate in a final, without prejudice, meeting with Frontera and its partner, CJX Energy, to discuss the matters in dispute. The government proposed November 25, or December 2, 2026, as possible dates for this meeting. While expressly reserving all rights, the joint venture remains open to engaging in good faith discussions with the government. I'd like now to turn the call over to Orlando Caballeros, Frontera's CEO, and René Burgos, Frontera's CFO, who will share their views on our third quarter results. Orlando?
