Thank you, Matthew, and good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for joining our call today. Our third quarter results continue to demonstrate the ability of our fully-integrated platform to generate profitable results even in a difficult market environment.
During the quarter, we faced a combination of softened demand, premium compression, and elevated gold and silver prices, which led our traditional buyers to become sellers and provided us with an opportunity to purchase more inventory.
Despite the challenging environment, we delivered $0.21 per diluted share and generated $12.6 million in non-GAAP EBITDA, including one-time acquisition costs of $2.2 million. We also increased the direct-to-consumer number of new customers by an impressive 8% compared to last quarter.
Consistent with our commitment to generate shareholder value, the company also repurchased a total of 204,396 shares of our common stock for $5 million during the quarter.
As previously announced, we completed the acquisition of LPM Group Limited in February 2024 and have substantially completed the integration of LPM's business and operations with A-Mark.
