Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us today. Welcome to The Arena Group's second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. I would now like to turn the conference over to Morgan Fitzgerald, Investor Relations and Social Media. Ms. Fitzgerald, you may begin the conference.
Thank you. Hosting the call today are Paul Edmondson, Chief Executive Officer, and Geoffrey Wait, Principal Financial Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to note that some of the comments made during this call may include forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and include, without limitation, statements concerning the company's business strategy, future revenues, and income from continuing operations, anticipated yield growth, and monetization improvements, cost reductions, debt refinancing efforts, market growth, capital requirements, product introductions, and technological capabilities, expansion plans, our stock price relative to our peers, and our share repurchase program, as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2026, the 2025 Form 10-K, and in our other SEC filings and publicly available documents. The company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made in this call, or that the company may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on the beliefs of assumptions made by and information currently available to the company.
Such statements are based on assumptions, and the actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, and uncertainties and factors that are beyond the company's control or ability to predict. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based only on known results and trends at the time they are made to anticipate future results or trends. Certain risks are discussed in the company's filings with the SEC. The company disclaims any intention or obligation, except as required by law, to update or revise any financial projections or forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise. In addition, reference will be made to the non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted EBITDA.
Information regarding reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the closest GAAP measure can be found in the press release that was issued this afternoon and can also be found on the investor relations page of our website at investors.thearenagroup.net. With that, I'll turn the call over to CEO Paul Edmondson. Paul, the call is yours.
