Thanks, Philip. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. We delivered a strong close to the year and achieved record sales and profitability for the third consecutive year. I'm especially proud of how our teams recovered from the major winter storm in late January to finish a strong fourth quarter. Full year sales totaled $1.65 billion, adjusted EBITDA surpassed $367 million, and adjusted earnings per share grew 19% year over year to $6.19. Our performance reflects the strength of our strategy, disciplined execution, operational excellence, and commitment of teamwork and values-based culture across the organization. During fiscal 2026, we further fortified our competitive position by driving market share gains across our segments. AZZ continued to win by delivering superior customer service and operating with discipline and consistency, while leveraging our proprietary technologies and galvanizing research capabilities to create differentiated value. Throughout the year, we made organic investments across both of our segments to enhance operating efficiencies and support our long-term growth. A key milestone was the completion of our Greenfield pre-coat metals facility in Washington, Missouri. This investment advances our organic growth strategy and strengthens our pre-coat metals segment, expanding AZZ's participation in the growing aluminum coatings and beverage-related end markets. We further expanded our metal coatings platform last year through the acquisition of a galvanizing facility in Canton, Ohio, which extended our footprint and broadened our service offering for new and existing customers. At the same time, We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities through a disciplined capital allocation framework while growing an active strategic pipeline of deals. Jason will cover our fourth quarter results in detail, so I'll focus my remaining comments on the significant secular tailwinds that continue to propel our long-term growth. We're seeing momentum across our end markets driven by infrastructure-related investment themes that are reshaping the industrial landscape. These include industrial reshoring, bridge and highway investments, hyperscale data center expansion, investments in power generation, transmission and distribution, and continued growth in renewable energy. Each of these trends are structural, multi-year, and increasingly central to our customers' capital spending priorities. As we've seen throughout the year, these markets rely heavily on galvanized steel and coated metal solutions. areas where AZZ brings meaningful scale, deep coding experience, operational reliability, and exceptional value. Our diversified portfolio positions us uniquely to be able to support large-scale, complex projects across multiple end markets and states, often simultaneously, and to do so with consistency and speed. Together, these demand drivers in our differentiated operating model allows AZZ to capture market share and deepen existing customer relationships. Dave will share additional details on how industry dynamics translate into project activity in just a moment. We continue to drive incremental improvements across our network using our digital galvanizing system at metal coating plants and COAZO in pre-coated metals. These systems strengthen customer engagement while driving productivity and margin improvement across our operations. Together, these custom digital capabilities reinforce our competitive advantages and support consistent profitable growth. With that, I'll turn it over to Jason.
