Thank you, Rob, and thank you to everyone joining me this morning. So as not to bury the lead, let me begin with 2025 is starting off strong with a growing backlog and an expected 50% increase in first quarter sales sequentially, compared to the just completed fourth quarter of 2024. Since the beginning of the year, we have experienced a renewed interest in both our Twin Vee line and AquaSport monohull line with a growing backlog, new dealers seeking to be part of this expanding Twin Vee and AquaSport family. We remain disciplined with our discretionary spending as we did throughout 2024, slowly ramping up production, managing field inventory and developing enhanced dealer programs, while at the same time, continuing to invest in dealer and retail-facing technologies to drive lead generation for our dealer community and a better-informed marketplace. We are cautiously optimistic that the worst is behind us. There is no doubt that 2024 was the most challenging year we have experienced as a public company, and the fourth quarter provided no relief with revenues falling to a multiyear quarter low of $1.9 million. The post-COVID slowdown in the marine and recreational vehicle markets, coupled with persistently high interest rates and inflation, weighed heavily on consumer demand. Additionally, the industry faced an overhang of excess OneWater boats, which were being sold at deep discounts, further intensifying market pressures. As a result, our revenues declined sequentially throughout the year. Following an $8.4 million revenue quarter in the fourth quarter of 2023, we began 2024 with a sequential decline to $5.3 million in the first quarter to $4.3 million in the second quarter and further declined in the back half of the year to $2.9 million in the third and finally bottoming out at $1.9 million in the fourth quarter.…
