Greetings, and welcome to the Digimarc Corporation First Quarter 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce Charles Beck. Thank you. You may begin.

Charles Beck
Executive VP, CFO & Treasurer

Welcome, everyone, to our Q1 earnings call. I'm Charles Beck, Digimarc's CFO, and I'm joined today by Riley McCormack, Digimarc's CEO. On the call today, Riley will provide a business update, and I will discuss Q1 2026 financial results. This will be followed by a question-and-answer forum. We have posted our prepared remarks in the Investor Relations section of our website and will archive this webcast there. For those of you dialing in, this is a reminder that we are simulcasting the presentation we will walk through today. If you would like to follow along with the slides, I would encourage you to join our webcast as referenced in our earnings press release shared earlier today.

Before we begin, let me remind everyone that today's discussion contains forward-looking statements that have risks and uncertainties. Please refer to our press release for more information on the specific risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.

Riley will now provide a business update.
