Thank you, Operator. I would like to direct your attention to the Safe Harbor Statement on page 1 of today's presentation. Today's discussion contains forward-looking statements about future business and financial expectations. Actual results may differ significantly from those projected in today's forward-looking statements. due to various risks and uncertainties, including the risk described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update our forward-looking statements. We are using non-GAAP financial measures in our presentation. The appropriate GAAP financial reconciliations are incorporated into our presentations where available, which is posted on our website. All percentages in today's discussion are for the year-over-year progress, except as noted. The sale of the management services business closed last week. The management services business and our at-risk self-reformed construction businesses have been classified as discontinued operations. You will see that we have resegmented our business to provide greater visibility and insight into our performance. Our reporting segments now consist of the America segment, which primarily consists of the United States and Canada, the international segment, which consists of EMEA and APAC regions, and AECOM Capital. Our comments today will focus on continuing operations unless otherwise noted. The discussion of operating margins is on an adjusted basis and reflects segment performance for the Americas and international segments, otherwise referred to as the professional services business. We will also refer to net service revenue, or NSR, which is defined as revenue excluding subcontractor and other direct costs. Our discussion of margins will be made on an NSR basis unless otherwise noted. Organic NSR growth is presented on a year-over-year and constant currency basis and reflects continuing operations. Beginning today's presentation is Mike Burke, AECOM's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
