Good afternoon, everyone and thank you for participating in The Metals Company Third Quarter 2026 Corporate Update Conference Call.

Joining us today are the metal company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gerard Barron; Chief Financial Officer, Craig Shesky; and Chief Innovation and Offshore Technology Officer, Rutger Bosland .

Following their remarks, we'll open the call for your questions. Before we go further, I would like to turn the call over to CFO, Craig Shesky as he read the company's safe harbor statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and that provides important cautions regarding forward-looking statements and information about the use of non-GAAP measures. Craig, please go ahead.
