Good morning, and thank you all for joining us as we discuss the third quarter 2025 financial results for Rupert Technologies. Joining me on the call this morning are Neil Hunt, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jason Conley, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Brandon Cross, Vice President and Principal Accounting Officer, and Shannon O'Callaghan, Senior Vice President of Finance. Earlier this morning, we issued a press release announcing our financial results. The press release also includes replay information for today's call. We have prepared slides to accompany today's call, which are available through the webcast and are also available on our website. Now, if you'll please turn to page two. We begin with our safe harbor statement. During the course of today's call, we will make forward-looking statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties as described on this page, in our press release, and in our SEC filings. You should listen to today's call in the context of that information. And now if you please turn to page three. Today we will discuss our results primarily on an adjusted, non-GAAP, and continuing operations basis. For the third quarter, the difference between our GAAP results and adjusted results consists of the following items. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction-related expenses associated with completed acquisitions, and lastly, financial impacts associated with our minority investment at Indicor. Reconciliations can be found in our press release and in the appendix of this presentation on our website. And now, if you please turn to page four, I'll hand the call over to Neil. After our prepared remarks, we will take questions from our telephone participants. Neil?

Neil Hunt
President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Zach, and thanks to everyone for joining us. I'm excited to be with you this morning. As we turn to page four, you'll see the topics we plan to cover today. We'll start with our third quarter highlights and financial results. Next, we'll review our segment performance, our AI progress and momentum, and our most recent set of bolt-on acquisitions. Then I'll get into our guidance details and, of course, wrap up with your questions. So with that, let's go ahead and get started. Next slide, please. Turning to page five, let me run through the four key takeaways for today's call. First, we had a strong third quarter. Total revenue grew 14%. organic revenue grew 6%, software bookings grew in the high singles area, and we continued to deliver impressive free cash flow, with free cash flow growing 17%, and of note, free cash flow margins posted at 32% for the TTM period. Really impressive financial results. Second, we're super encouraged by the progress and momentum we're seeing across all of our businesses as it relates to our AI enablement and our product stacks and our internal operations. and more on this in a moment. Third, we're announcing today our first share repurchase authorization, $3 billion in total. And lastly, we continue to execute on our M&A strategy of acquiring faster growth platforms and bolt-on or tuck-in acquisitions at a high fidelity rate. In the quarter, we deployed $1.3 billion, $800 million for Subsplash, which we detailed this time last quarter, and $500 million on a series of tuck-in acquisitions. Also, more on this later, but worth highlighting here, we are very encouraged by this recent capital deployment execution and the future growth potential that is being layered into our enterprise. Importantly, we remain very well positioned for the continued execution of our M&A strategy and continue to have north of $5 billion of capital deployment capacity available over the next 12 months or so. As I turn the call over to Jason, reflecting on the quarter, I'm quite bullish on most of what we're seeing. a very strong 3Q, real demonstrable AI progress, which is a long-term growth driver for us, excellent execution of our higher growth, higher returning capital appointment strategy, and the announcement of our first-ever buyback authorization. This all bodes very well for the future. That said, we'd like to see some of our markets start to cooperate a bit better, namely the government contracting and freight markets, and we have some delays in Neptune. Much more on this as we walk through today's call. So with that, Let me turn the caller to Jason to talk through our P&L and our balance sheet.
