Victory Capital Holdings, Inc.

Good morning, and welcome to the Victory Capital first quarter 2026 earnings conference call. All callers are in a listen-only mode. Following the company's prepared remarks, there will be a question and answer session. I will now turn the call over to Mr. Matthew Dennis, Chief of Staff and Director of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, Mr. Dennis.

Thank you, Operator, and good morning, everyone. As many of you know, last month I shared that I'll be retiring from Victory. It's been a true privilege to serve on this management team and to be part of the ongoing sensational growth of the firm. This will be my final earnings cycle, and while I'll certainly miss working alongside all of you, I'm excited to stay connected as an engaged shareholder and a proud, enthusiastic supporter of Victory's continued success. One personal highlight for me was my first earnings call with this team and seeing the level of preparation collaboration and care that goes into every detail. That spirit has been consistent ever since, and it's a big part of what I'll miss the most. Many of you already know Carly, and for those of you who haven't had the opportunity to meet her yet, I'm delighted to introduce her. Carly has supported me since joining Victory in 2023 as Director of Responsible Business. Prior to Victory, she led an investor relations team in the UK, and she brings valuable experience and a very acute attention to detail that will serve you all well as I pass the baton. So with that, It's my pleasure to turn the call over to Carly Thomas, Director of Investor Relations and Responsible Business. Carly, we're glad to have you here. Please go ahead.

Thanks, Matt, and congratulations. I have big shoes to fill and I'm grateful for the example you've set over the past three years we've worked together. I've learned a great deal from you. And to everyone on the call, on the webcast or reading along, I'm excited to work with you and continue building on the momentum Matt helped create. Before I turn the call over to David Brown, I would like to remind you that during today's conference call, we may make several forward-looking statements. Victory Capital's actual results may differ materially from these statements. Please refer to our SEC filings for a list of some of the risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed on today's call. Victory Capital assumes no duty and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Our press release, which was issued after the market closed yesterday, disclosed both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results. We believe the non-GAAP measures enhance the understanding of our business and our performance. Reconciliations between these non-GAAP measures and the most comparable GAAP measures are included in tables that can be found in our earnings press release and in the slides accompanying this call, both of which are available on the investor relations section of our website at ir.vcm.com. It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to David Brown, Chairman and CEO. David?
