Ezra Ernst: Thanks, Ian. We appreciate everyone joining us today. The XWELL team delivered a solid second quarter, underscoring a strong momentum and progress we're seeing across our business. We're currently executing a focused multi-prong strategy to broaden our operational footprint, expand access to our wellness services, and deepen engagement with new and existing customers. We believe these efforts are already translating into measurable results. Operationally, over the past several months, we've hit multiple key milestones that reflect our ability to scale beyond the airport and into dynamic, high-growth customer wellness markets. Florida is an example of one of those markets. In June, we were proud to be named the official wellness spa of the Orlando Magic. A multi-year partnership, this agreement significantly boosts our brand visibility through year-round exposure across the Magic's digital and in-arena assets, including their scoreboard, the LED signage, app integration, sweepstakes, and co-branded events.

Services can range from facial aesthetics and injectables to body sculpting, laser therapy, massage, wellness recovery, and even physician-guided weight loss programs.

Next, through our ongoing partnership with the CDC, XWELL remains at the forefront of US biosecurity. In March, we successfully secured a three-year extension of our traveler-based genomic surveillance program.
