Thank you, John, and good afternoon, everyone. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that during the course of this conference call, including comments made in response to your questions, we will provide projections or make other forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the future financial performance of the company, market conditions and trends, emerging applications using chips or devices fabricated on our substrates, our product mix, global economic and political conditions including trade tariffs and export and import restrictions, our ability to increase orders and succeeding quarters to control costs and expenses, to improve manufacturing yields and efficiencies, or to utilize our manufacturing capacity.
We wish to caution you that such statements deal with future events are based on management current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially. In addition to the matters just listed, these uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to the financial performance of our partially owned supply chain companies, increased environmental regulations in China, and COVID-19 and other outbreaks of contagious disease.
In addition to the factors just mentioned or that may be discussed in this call, we refer you to the company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These are available online by links from our website and contain additional information on risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.
This conference call will be on our website through May. 2026. I also want to note that shortly following the close of market today we issued a press release reporting financial results for the first quarter and fiscal year 2025. This information is also available on the Investor Relations portion of our website. I would now like to turn the call over to Gary Fischer for a review of our first quarter 2025 results.
