Good evening, and welcome to our conference call to discuss Argan's results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended July 31, 2023. On the call today, we have David Watson, Chief Executive Officer; and Hank Deily, Chief Financial Officer.

I'll take a moment to read the Safe Harbor statement. Statements made during this conference call and presented in the presentation that are not based on historical facts are forward-looking statements. Such statements include but are not limited to projections or statements of future goals and targets regarding the company's revenues and profits. These statements are subject to known and unknown factors and risks.

The company's actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements and some of the factors and risks that could cause or contribute to such material differences have been described in this afternoon's press release and in Argan's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

These statements are based on information and understandings that we believe to be accurate as of today and we do not undertake any duty to update such forward-looking statements. Earlier this afternoon, the company issued a press release announcing its second quarter financial results and filed its second quarter Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

With that out of the way, I'll turn the call over to David Watson, CEO of Argan. Go ahead, David.

David Watson
