AptarGroup, Inc.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by and welcome to APTA's 2026 first quarter results conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen only mode. Later, we will conduct a question and answer session. Introducing today's conference call is Mrs. Mary Scafidus, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations and Communications. Please go ahead.

Hello, everyone, and thanks for being with us today. Joining me on today's call are Stefan Tanda, our President and CEO, Vanessa Canu, Executive Vice President and CFO, and Gael Tuya, our CEO Designate and President of Aptar Pharma. Our press release and accompanying slide deck have been posted on our website under the investor relations page. During this call, we will be discussing certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and the reconciliations are set forth in the press release. Please refer to the press release disseminated yesterday for the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure discussed during this earnings call. As always, we will post a replay of this call on our website. I would now like to turn the conference call over to Stefan.

Thank you, Mary, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us on the call today. As previously announced, I will be retiring later this year, and we will welcome Gael Tuya as AFTAR's next CEO on September 1. I will still lead the Q2 earnings call on July 31, so please hold any roasting remarks for that call. Gael and I are collaborating closely during the transition period. Gael is joining us today and would like to say a few words to kick off the call.
