BlackSky assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as may be required by applicable law. In addition, during today's call, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted imagery and software analytical services cost of sales and cash operating expenses. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measures are included in today's accompanying presentation, which can be viewed and downloaded from our Investor Relations website. At this point, I'll turn the call over to Brian O'Toole. Brian?

Brian O’Toole: Thanks, Aly, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us on today's call. Let's begin with Slide 3. I'm happy to report that Q1 was another strong quarter as we continue to make great progress across all aspects of our business. Demand for our space-based intelligence remains strong as we continue to secure more new customers and expand the services we are delivering to existing customers. We also continue to demonstrate strong operating leverage in our business as revenue growth from our high-margin Imagery and Analytic services delivers improving operating margins. Combined with our disciplined cost management and streamlined operating efficiencies, we continue on our path of delivering positive adjusted EBITDA results.
