Thank you, Gleason. And thank you for joining us on the SECO Environmental Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. On the call with me today are Todd Gleason, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Peter Johansson, Chief Financial Officer. Our second quarter reported results include one full month of Thermon financial performance following the June 1 closing of the acquisition.

Thanks, Marcio, and good day, everyone. Before we begin, I want to thank Team SECO, including our new Thermon colleagues, for delivering tremendous value to our customers and our teams, which has enabled us to deliver outstanding quarter. Let's review our Q2 performance integration activities, our full-year outlook, and our view of markets and opportunities. Please turn to slide number three. Simply put, this was a record-setting quarter across the board. We delivered record orders of $799 million. Our quarter-ending backlog is over $1.8 billion. We generated revenue of $285 million and our adjusted EBITDA of approximately $40 million. A reported revenue increased 54% year-over-year with continued strong double-digit organic revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA increased 73% and margins expanded approximately 150 basis points to 14.1%, marking SECO's first quarter with mid-teen EBITDA margins. We expect EBITDA margins to rise in coming quarters with the full positive impact of Thermon, our integration synergies, and ongoing double-digit top-line growth. Additionally, we expect this high-performance growth and profitability to be largely sustainable. Our sales pipeline now exceeds $8.5 billion. Our trailing 12-month book-to-bill is over two, and we remain bullish on the order environment as we enter the second half. We have delivered double-digit revenue and earnings growth for many quarters in a row, and with our year-to-date bookings, we have high confidence and visibility that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future. The Thermon integration is well underway and going extremely well. Culturally, it is a great fit. While work remains, we continue to advance the integration program and have a solid start on our synergies. We have already captured approximately $13 million of annualized EBITDA savings in just the first 60 days and have identified early commercial wins across the combined portfolio. I and Marcio Pinto, who is leading our integration program, will give additional color on this in a minute. And given our strong first half execution, record backlog, and accelerating order momentum, we are raising our full year consolidated 2026 outlook. I will come back to guidance towards the end of the call. Now please turn to slide number four. This slide provides a good illustration of the consistent high performance growth engine we have built. Our sales pipeline has expanded from approximately $1.5 billion in 2021 to the more than $8.5 billion that I just mentioned. The strategic investments we made in markets, talent, solutions, and Commercial Presence are translating directly into sustained strong order levels and growing backlog. First quarter 2026 orders, as shown on the slide, were $449 million, up 97% year over year. Second quarter orders, Further accelerated to $799 million, up 191% year over year. For the first half of 2026, we have booked approximately $1.25 billion of new orders, up approximately 150% versus the first half of last year, which had been a record set of quarters at the time. Our 2026 performance has driven backlog to more than $1.8 billion, up 164% over last year. And as I already mentioned, but it is worth repeating, our trailing 12-month book-to-bill is over two. We continue to see strong demand and customer activity across a broad range of end markets globally, including power generation, semiconductor and electronics, natural gas processing and infrastructure, industrial water and industrial reshoring related projects, and with the addition of the thermal solutions to the portfolio, exciting opportunities within data centers. The power generation opportunity remains particularly robust, but what gives us confidence is the breadth of the pipeline across our end markets and geographies. It is always good to remind everyone that our backlog is firm and supported by legally binding purchase orders and project commitments with permits already obtained by our customers. As we mentioned in the slide, these are not speculative opportunities or reservations for future projects, but instead ongoing programs. This backlog gives us substantial visibility to continued revenue growth. It also increasingly contains higher margin projects that we have discussed over the past few quarters, which supports the expectation for continued margin expansion as we convert on this backlog. Marcio and I will now review some additional materials related to the Thermon integration, and then we will hand it over to Peter to cover additional insights on our financials.
