Allient Inc.

Greetings and welcome to the Alliant Inc. Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone requires operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Craig Mihalik, Investor Relations. Thank you. Please go ahead.

Thank you and good morning, everyone. We certainly appreciate your time today as well as your interest in Alliant. On the call today are Dick Warzala, our Chairman, President, and CEO, and Jim Michaud, our Chief Financial Officer. Dick and Jim will review our second quarter 2026 results, provide a strategic and operational update, and share our outlook. We'll then open the line for questions. As a reminder, earnings released in the accompanying slide presentation are available on our website at Alliant.com. Following along, please turn to slide two for our Safe Harbor Statement. During today's call, we may make forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated. These risks and factors are outlined in our SEC filings and in the earnings release. We will also discuss certain non-GAAP measures, which we believe will be useful in evaluating our performance. You should not consider the presentation of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have provided reconciliations of non-GAAP Two comparable gap measures in the tables accompanying the earnings relief as well as the slides. With that, please turn to slide three and I'll turn it over to Dick to begin.

Thank you, Craig, and welcome everyone.
