Thanks, Amy. Good afternoon, everyone, and thanks for joining us. I'd like to make a few comments about our second quarter in year-to-date 2025 performance, followed by comments on current business. Second quarter 2025 revenue was 3.5 million, up 5% over first quarter of 2025. From growth in aerospace fastener components, and contributions from our recent acquisition of ECOMP. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2025 was 95K, with a year-to-date adjusted EBITDA of 503K. The EBITDA also marks a continued effort to all locations making a positive contribution to EBITDA and an improvement over prior year. Bookings for the first quarter We're at 2.5 million, which keeps the backlog at a strong 6.3 million as we go into third quarter. We also received a large order early in third quarter of 1.4 million on two critical defense programs. Metal forming business revenue is up year-to-date double-digit, and demand for commercial air transport and defense aerospace component needs are increasing as competition continues to extend on what was already long lead times. We have been able to take market share based on our ability to convert from prototype to low rate of production, then full production in six months or less. The continuing and growing needs for engineering fastener components for high-performance commercial and defense airborne platforms, coupled with capacity constraints, is signaling to us to continue to invest in highly skilled machine labor training for what we are seeing as sustained demand growth. The casting's business revenue is growing at its top four customers, offset a little bit by reduction in revenue at many of its small customers as we continue to rationalize to products and product families that can contribute to our financial return targets. Negotiations are progressing well in our significant and singular corporate-wide long-term pricing agreement with our largest casting customer. Our expectations are to finalize that agreement in the fourth quarter with pricing that represents value to them and value to us as pricing that meets our financial targets. In our electronics business, demand continues to grow on the backdrop of increased global tensions that bring safety and threat deterrence a rising funding priority. Increased demand for rocket, drone, and missile defense for domestic and battlefield needs has increased production requirements over the next several years for multiple current programs and some development programs for central electronics we produce. In all of our engineering and manufacturing businesses, our ability to engineer a process to reliably produce products with exacting specification in months and not years was the heart of winning, but equally important, keeping lead times into production our competitive mode and business model. The horizon for our newly acquired electronics distribution business is dominated by obsolescence and modernization-sustaining legacy weapon system, including Aegis, Patriot, and Virginia and Ohio-class submarines, which have planned double-digit growth projections. With that, I'd like to turn the call back over to Amy. Amy?
