At this time, it's my pleasure to introduce Adam Adamo, Chief Executive Officer of Overactive Media. Adam, please go ahead.
Thanks, Kelly, and good morning, everyone. Good to be on the call with you today. I'll get straight to it. This was the strongest first quarter we've ever reported on both revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Revenue came in at $5.4 million, up 7% over the same quarter last year, and a first quarter record for the company. Our adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed by close to $1 million, or 43%, to $1.3 million, the best first quarter result we've ever posted. We're still running a loss in the seasonally lightest quarter of our year, but the direction is clear, and it's the right one. What I like most is how we got here. This wasn't one lucky line item. Our business operations segment grew 13% and now makes up a majority of our revenue. Our gross profit grew faster than our revenue, and gross margin increased to 59% from 52% a year ago. At the same time, our operating costs came down. That's growth and discipline showing up in the same quarter, which is exactly what we said we'd focus on in 2026. On the commercial side, our partners are leaning in. MovieStar Koi signed a new full-year partnership with Ideolo and Philips for the 2026 season, and we grew our European agency business across a deeper set of clients. We were also named the official national team partner for Canada in conjunction with eSport Canada, with MovieStar Koi as the official co-team partner for Spain at the eSports Nations Cup in Riyadh. That's the kind of recognition that says a lot about where these brands sit in the global game. Live events stayed a strength for us. Movistar COI hosted LEC Versus in Barcelona in front of roughly 15,000 fans. After the quarter closed, we brought the spring road trip to Madrid with another 12,000 fans in the building over the weekend. We keep proving we can fill arenas and put on a show, and we keep getting better and more efficient at it each time. On the servers, our teams kept us on the big stages. Luisa Koi finished third at LEC Versus in Barcelona. Tawana Koi placed third at Call of Duty Major 2, and after quarter end, third again at Major 3. Luisa Koi has locked in a top three finish in the LEC Finals, which will be concluded next week in Berlin. To our players and coaching staff, thank you for the way you represent these brands. Now I'll turn the call over to Louis, our CFO, to walk through the financial results in more detail.
