Good day and welcome to the CRH third quarter 2026 results presentation. My name is Krista and I will be your operator today. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star then the number one on your telephone keypad at any time. And if you would like to withdraw your question, it's star followed by the number one again. At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Jim Mintern, CRH Chief Executive Officer, to begin the conference. Please go ahead, sir.

Hello, everyone. Jim Mintern here, CEO of CRH, and you're all very welcome to our Q3 2026 results presentation and conference call. Joining me on the call is Aylwyn Bryan, our CFO, Randy Lake, our COO, and Danilo Juvane, our Head of Investor Relations. Before we get started, I'll hand over to Danilo for some opening brief remarks.

Thanks, Jim, and hello, everyone. I'd like to draw your attention to slide two shown here on the screen. During our presentation, we will be making some forward-looking statements relating to our future plans and expectations. These are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes could differ materially due to factors outlined on this slide. For more details, please refer to slide two and to our filings with the SEC, including our annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which are available on our website. We will also refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions and reconciliations are included in the appendix to the presentation and in our earnings release. I'll now hand it back to Jim.
