Francis Okunewski
Vice President of Investor Relations

Thank you, Ina. Good morning, everyone. This is Fran Okunewski, Vice President of Investor Relations for NAPCO Security Technologies. Thank you all for joining today's conference call to discuss financial results for Fiscal Q4 and Fiscal Year 2025. By now, all of you should have had the opportunity to review our earnings press release discussing our Fiscal Q4 and Fiscal Year 2025 results. If you have not, a copy of the release is available in the Investor Relations section of our website, .napcosecurity.com. On the call today are Dick Soloway, our Chairman and CEO, Kevin Bouchelle, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Andrew Bono, Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, let me take a moment to read the forward-looking statement as this presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections of future performance based on management's judgment, beliefs, current trends and anticipated product performance. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to growth drivers of the company's business, such as school security products, reoccurring revenue services, potential market opportunities, the benefits of our reoccurring revenue products to customers and dealers, our ability to control expenses and costs, and expected annual run rate or SAS reoccurring monthly revenue. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These factors include but are not limited to such risk factors described in our SEC report on form 10-K. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information provided in today's press release and this conference call are as of today's date unless otherwise stated, and we undertake no duty to update such information except as required under applicable law. I'll turn the call over to Dick in a moment. Before I do, I want to mention we are actively planning our investor relations calendar for Nondual Roadshow and conference attendance in the near future. Investor outreach is important to NAFCO, and I'd like to thank all those folks who assist us in these types of events. Over the coming weeks, we will be participating in several key investor events. We'll be attending the Jefferies Industrial Conference in New York City in early September, followed by a virtual Nondual Roadshow hosted by Craig Hallam on September 8th. In mid-September, we'll take part in D.A. Davidson's 24th Annual Diversified Industrial and Services Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, and on October 8th, Lake Street will host a virtual Nondual Roadshow on our behalf. With that out of the way, let me turn the call over to Dick Solloway, Chairman and CEO of NAFCO Security Technologies. Dick, the floor is yours.

Dick Soloway
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Fran. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our conference call. We appreciate your participation today as we review our fiscal Q4 and fiscal 2025 performance. This past year has presented its fair share of headwinds, particularly around microeconomic uncertainty and tariff-related pressures. But through it all, we have maintained focus on our long-term strategy, delivering -in-class solutions, maintaining operational discipline, and investing for sustainable growth. Our recurring revenue model continues to provide significant profitability and stability and a strong foundation for future innovation and customer engagement. As you will hear shortly, we have once again attained meaningful growth in this area, and we are confident this trend will continue. We are also encouraged by our Q4 hardware sales performance and how quickly our team adapted to shifting demand. Our ability to control inventory, manage supply chain complexity, and continue delivering on customer commitments has put us in a strong position. One of the things I am most proud of is how we have balanced growth with financial stewardship. We continue to invest in product development and customer success while also returning significant value to shareholders, all without taking on debt, which speaks to the strength of our business model and the effectiveness of our leadership team. Looking forward, the tariff landscape will continue to evolve, and while we cannot predict how that will play out, we have taken proactive steps, both operationally and strategically, to protect margins and ensure long-term competitiveness. The pricing adjustments we have implemented are a key part of that, and we expect to see its impact starting in Q1. We enter fiscal 2026 with strong momentum, a clear focus, and confidence in our ability to execute. With that, I will turn the call over to our President and Chief Operating Officer, Kevin Bichel, who will comment on some of our operational and financial performance highlights. Following Kevin's remarks, our CFO, Andy Vono, will go through the financials in detail, and then I will return to delve deeper into our strategies and market outlook. Kevin, the floor is yours.
