I’ll now hand the conference over to Kevin Cureton, President and Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, operator. And thank you to all of our investors, teammates, and friends joining us today. We have a lot to cover, so we appreciate your time, patience, and attention.

Today is a meaningful moment in the history of Solésence. This is my first opportunity to speak with you since stepping into the role of President and Chief Executive Officer. I am truly honored to take on this responsibility and energized by the incredible talent of our team and the strong opportunities ahead to continue growing profitably with our brand partners.

It is also a significant moment for another reason. Today marks Jess’ final earnings call as a member of the Solésence leadership team. Many of you may know that Jess and I began this journey together in 2012, when he brought me in to help chart a new path forward. The conversations we had during that interview process about transforming the business from a materials company into a product-focused organization became the foundation of what Solésence is today.

Jess has been an exceptional partner to me and to all of us, working tirelessly to ensure we had the financial strength to grow, innovate, and establish ourselves as a leader in beauty innovation.

With that, I’d like to turn it over to Jess for a few remarks. Jess?
