Surgery Partners, Inc.

Ladies and gentlemen, greetings and welcome to the Surgery Partners' first quarter 2026 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. A brief question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone requires operator assistance during the conference, please signal the operator by pressing star and zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Dave Daugherty, Surgery Partners Chief Financial Officer. Please go ahead.

Good morning, and thank you for joining Surgery Partners' first quarter 2026 earnings call. I am joined today by Eric Evans, our Chief Executive Officer, as well as Justin Oppenheimer, our Chief Operating Officer, who joined the company in January. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements. There are risk factors that could cause future results to be materially different from these statements, as described in this morning's press release and the reports we filed with the SEC. The company does not undertake any duty to update these forward-looking statements. In addition, we reference certain non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe can be useful in evaluating our performance. We reconcile these measures to the most applicable GAAP measure in this morning's press release. With that, I will turn the call over to Eric.

Eric? Thank you, Dave, and good morning, everyone.
