Thanks, Danielle, and good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us to review Steve Madden's third quarter 2024 earnings results. We delivered strong results in the third quarter with revenue and earnings exceeding expectations. This performance was driven by outstanding growth in the accessories and apparel categories, including another quarter of exceptional performance in Steve Madden handbags and a strong contribution from newly acquired Almost Famous and robust top line gains in international markets and direct-to-consumer channels, demonstrating our team's continued execution of our strategy for long-term growth.
