Encompass Health Corporation

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Encompass Health's second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. At this time, I would like to inform all participants that their lines will be in listen-only mode. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer period. If you would like to ask a question during this time, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. You will be limited to one question and one follow-up question. Today's conference call is being recorded. If you have any objections, you may disconnect at this time. I will now turn the call over to Mark Miller, Encompass Health's Chief Investor Relations Officer. Please go ahead.

Thank you, Operator, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining Encompass Health's second quarter 2026 earnings call. Before we begin, if you do not already have a copy, the second quarter earnings release, supplemental information, and related form 8K filed with the SEC are available on our website at encompasshealth.com. On page two of the supplemental information, you will find the safe harbor statements, which are also set forth in greater detail on the last page of the earnings release. During the call, we'll make forward-looking statements, such as guidance and growth projections, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.

We ask the audience to please stand by. Once again, we ask everyone to please stand by. Thank you for your patience. And I believe the speakers have reconnected to the live conference.
