Thank you, Jared. Good afternoon, and thank you all for joining us today. I'll begin with an important update on our FCC process. Earlier this month, the FCC formerly sent a draft notice of proposed rulemaking or NPRM, focused on PNT technology and solutions to the White House OMB. This is a critical step in the process, and I am confident in the NPRM advancing to report an order. This development underscores the FCC's focus on addressing the national security urgency of identifying resilient backups and complements to GPS. It reflects an incredible milestone achieved in rapid time and extraordinary momentum under this administration. While I am thrilled it does not come as a surprise as this progress is consistent with the confidence I have expressed over the prior quarters regarding the FCC's direction. The NextNav team has worked tirelessly alongside a highly engaged FCC, and we are extremely proud of where we stand today. It marks significant validation of NextNav solution to a critical national security priority at a time of heightened global risk as adversaries continue to invest in their own terrestrial PNT capabilities. The U.S. must meet the moment. The under agency review of the NPRM is now progressing as expected. While we do not yet know specific content, we do know that NPRM can take many forms. And based on the strength and completeness of the existing record, we remain confident in a direct path to a report in order. NextNav plays an important role in a system of systems framework that combines multiple terrestrial and space-based capabilities to build redundancy and resiliency across America's critical infrastructure. a redundancy that exists today for our adversaries, including Russia and China, but not for the United States. NextNav proposed solution is a one-of-one within this system of systems…

Thank you, Mariam, and good afternoon, everyone. Based on the actions taken in 2025 to enhance the company's liquidity NextNav continues to hold a position of financial strength and strategic advantage with a strong cash position, valuable spectrum assets and the continued development of field testing of our resilient proven technology. On liquidity, we finished the fourth quarter with approximately $152 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We will continue to manage our use of capital as we advance our ambitious goals, taking a deliberate approach to liquidity and commercialization. In addition, we have a significant number of warrants expiring in 2026 that have the potential to deliver over $200 million in additional capital depending on stock price performance. So let me be very clear that we believe we have significant runway in funding for multiple years. For our fourth quarter, a financial item of note. As a reminder, the gains or losses related to our outstanding private warrants and derivative liability fluctuate based on movements in our stock price. While last quarter, we had gains, this quarter, we're reporting losses. In the fourth quarter, we recognized losses of approximately $48 million associated with the change in the fair value of the derivative and warrant liability. The impact of these noncash losses resulted in our net loss for the quarter of roughly $68 million. These charges are a result of the funding the company took on earlier in 2025, which has put the company on very solid footing. With that, I'll turn the call over to the operator for questions. Operator?

[Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from the line of Mike Crawford with B. Riley Securities.

We were pleased to see that the FCC sent this promoting the development of PNT technologies to the OMB on March 2, but have you seen the content of what was actually sent. And do we know if that's any different from what has been contemplated previously?

Mike, thanks for the question. I -- the NPRM has been drafted. And it is in the inner agency review process. We have not seen the content, and that is part of the process, contents will be available the draft review will be available once it finalizes its interagency process with the NTIA [indiscernible] and OMB [indiscernible].

And then the data that you've been collecting shows that you get more precise PNT when you have a 10/5 channel. And so do you think that, that is something that's what we're likely going to see when we get an NPRM and eventually report in order?

Well, definitely, we've been testing and we're testing towards a 10 plus 5 capability, and that's part of our commercialization effort. And it's also just basically how 5G networks operate with respect to positioning, it becomes more accurate with the downlink being 10 megahertz. So we've made those studies over the FCC. And we remain confident that we're going to move forward with this FCC working with them to make sure that we meet the backup and complete requirements of GPS.

Your next question comes from the line of David Joyce with Seaport Research Partners.

Could you please provide any interesting learnings so far with your MetCom relationship? And perhaps connect that with how that might help with accelerated commercialization in the U.S.?

I think there's definitely an international opportunity. MetCom is part of that for us, and we're super excited about the partnership that we've had with them and this new development with respect to what they're doing in Japan. I think this is a solution that, as we have said, can be taken global and it does have a national opportunity. What we're facing today with a lot of the GPS or GNSS in general, jamming and spoofing issues is a global problem. So we will share the results of whatever MetCom does when they publicize it with the market. But right now, this is a great step advancing that partnership and relationship with us.

That concludes our question-and-answer session. I will now turn the call back over to Mariam Sorond for closing remarks.

In closing, NextNav remains highly optimistic about the path ahead toward an FCC vote on an NPRM in the near term, with clear line of sight to a report in order, and we look forward to continued engagement with the FCC and key stakeholders. We are very proud of the progress we're making to deliver a resilient future-proof terrestial complement and backup to GPS, strengthening U.S. economic and national security at a critical moment in time. Thank you all.

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's call. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
