We delivered solid margins, made meaningful progress across key programs, and continue to see encouraging trends as we move through the year. We experienced some top-line impacts from factors outside of our control that resulted in a timing shift for certain deliverables. We are working closely with our customers and vendors to execute on these milestones in the second half of the year and remain on pace to deliver better results than the prior year. Our performance reflects the underlying strength of our business and disciplined execution against our strategic priorities. I would like to congratulate and thank our employees for their dedication, collaboration, and continued focus, which positions us well for sustained momentum.
