Thanks, Matt, and good morning, everyone. We closed fiscal 25 with momentum, delivering excellent fourth quarter results in what was a transformative year for Cardinal Health. Our consistent performance with all five operating segments delivering double-digit profit growth both the year and Q4 reflects the significant progress we've made against our strategic priorities. As we outlined in Investor Day, our strategy is clear and we continue to deliver on our commitments, reflecting disciplined execution across each of our operating segments. Our relentless focus on driving simplification and operational efficiencies in our core, along with strategic investments for growth, are enabling us to evolve to meet the needs of our customers and drive long-term value creation. Before I get into the specifics, and Aaron takes us through the financials, I want to recognize the hard work and dedication of our teams around the world. Their commitment to our mission and our customers is essential to strengthening our position as healthcare's most trusted partner at a time when reliability, resiliency, and access are more important than ever. Within pharmaceutical and specialty solutions, our largest and most significant business, we continue to see robust pharmaceutical demand and strong underlying performance. Our path forward remains well-defined and consistent. Prioritize the growth and resiliency of this business by building upon our strong core foundation and further expanding in specialty, as you saw in our press release this morning. We're thrilled to announce the acquisition of Solaris Health, the country's leading urology managed services organization. This greatly accelerates our progress in building the Specialty Alliance's multi-specialty MSO platform, significantly expanding the reach of our Urology Alliance physician network. We see substantial opportunity ahead with Cardinal Health positioned as the multi-specialty leader, and I'll elaborate on this shortly. In GMPD, our improvement plan initiatives are driving results, delivering $70 million in profit for the fourth quarter. The team continues to navigate the current environment to optimize our global footprint and increase supply chain resiliency for our customers. We see further opportunities ahead to continue to drive the GMPD improvement plan. Our differentiated growth businesses within other, made substantial contributions this quarter, capping off a year of meaningful momentum. The performance was broad-based, with strong growth across at-home solutions, now including the acquisition of ADS, nuclear and precision health solutions, and Opti-freight logistics. As we close out fiscal 25 and look ahead, we have great optimism in what we will achieve in fiscal 26. We continue to make strategic investments to optimize the business and position us for success. I'll dive deeper into these and other updates shortly, but we'll now turn it over to Aaron to take us through the financials.
