In addition, past results are not necessarily an indication of future performance. Now I'd like to pass the call over to Radiant's Founder and CEO, Bohn Crain.

Bohn Crain: Thanks, Angela. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining in on today's call. Our results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, continue to reflect the difficult freight markets being experienced by the entire industry as well as our own operations. The confluence of shippers continuing to manage through elevated inventories, reduced imports and slowing economic growth has had a cascading effect across virtually every mode of transportation. As in the prior quarter, these market conditions have negatively impacted not only our current results but also the year-over-year comparison to our record results for the prior year period. With that said, we remain optimistic that we're at or near the bottom of the cycle and would expect markets to begin to find their way to more sustainable and normalized levels in coming quarters.

Notwithstanding the tough year-over-year comparisons, we're very proud to report that we generated $9.2 million in adjusted EBITDA and almost $8 million in cash from operations for our quarter ended September 30. In addition, we continue to enjoy a strong balance sheet, finishing the quarter with approximately $36 million of cash on hand and nothing drawn on our $200 million credit facility. And as we detailed in our press release, we continue to allocate capital in support of our stock buyback program as well as converting our agent stations to company-owned stores as we did with our Daleray transaction in Florida. As previously discussed, we believe we are well positioned to navigate through these slower freight markets as we find our way back to more normalized market conditions.

At the same time, we believe our patience and discipline will be rewarded as market conditions become more conducive to our acquisition strategy, and we have ample dry powder to become more active on the acquisition front should the opportunity present itself. Looking ahead, we will remain focused on delivering profitable growth through a combination of organic and acquisition initiatives and thoughtfully relevering our balance sheet through a combination of agent-station conversions, synergistic tuck-in acquisitions and stock buybacks. Through this approach, we will continue to scale our business, leveraging our best-in-class technology, our extensive global network, which we believe, over time, will continue to deliver meaningful value for our shareholders, operating partners and the end customers that we serve.

With that, I'll turn it over to Todd Macomber, our CFO, to walk us through our detailed financial results. And then we'll open it up for some Q&A.

Todd Macomber: Thanks, Bohn, and good afternoon, everyone. Today, we will be discussing our financial results, including adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we reported net income attributable to Radiant Logistics of $2.622 million on $210.8 million of revenues or $0.06 per basic and $0.05 per fully diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For September 30, 2022, we reported net income attributable to Radiant Logistics of $8.433 million on $331 million of revenues or $0.17 per basic and fully diluted share. This represents a decrease of approximately $5.811 million of net income over the comparable prior year period or 68.9%.

For adjusted net income, we reported $6.549 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to adjusted net income of $13.481 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This represents a decrease of approximately $6.932 million or 51%. For adjusted EBITDA, we reported $9.167 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $18.669 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This represents a decrease of approximately $9.502 million or approximately 50.9%. With that, I will turn the call back over to our moderator to facilitate any Q&A from our callers.
