Yeah, thank you, Lucas. And good morning and thanks for joining us today. I'm going to start my remarks on slide four. MCOR delivered another outstanding quarter highlighted by exceptional organic growth, Strong conversion of revenue into operating income and cash flow, continued booking strength, and record remaining performance obligations or RPOs. These results reflect the consistent execution, operational discipline, and customer focus that have defined MCOR's success over many years. Importantly, our strong performance during the first half of 2026, combined with the visibility provided by our record RPOs, supports a substantial increase to our full year 2026 earnings guidance. As we will discuss in more detail later in the call, we also continue to execute our balanced capital allocation strategy, returning significant cash to shareholders while investing in strategic acquisitions that strengthen our capabilities and deepen our position in attractive end markets to better serve our customers. So let's go to the second quarter. In the second quarter, revenues were $5.15 billion, an increase of 19.8% over the prior year. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and the divestiture of MCOR UK, organic revenue growth was 19.6%. Operating income reached $547 million, resulting in an operating margin of 10.6%. while diluted earnings per share increased by 35% year-over-year to $9.06 in the quarter. These results demonstrate the strength of our business model, the quality of our execution, and the sustained demand that we continue to see across many of our core markets. Electrical construction generated revenue growth of 24% year-over-year while delivering an impressive operating margin of 13.9%. Mechanical construction achieved revenue growth of 31% year-over-year with a strong operating margin of 12.5%. These results reflect our ability to execute complex projects across multiple geographies and trades and expand our scope with existing customers and consistently deliver value to our customers on mission-critical projects. Growth across our construction businesses continues to be supported by strength in several sectors. In the quarter, the largest revenue increases were generated in networking communications, which is where our data center business is, institutional, manufacturing and industrial, and warehousing and distribution within commercial. Our teams are leveraging industry-leading prefabrication capabilities Virtual Design and Construction Technologies, which we refer to as VDC many times, Disciplined Labor Management, and Advanced Project Planning to execute these projects safely, efficiently, and productively for our customers. Our U.S. Building Services segment also delivered solid performance. Revenues increased 5.6% from the second quarter of 2025, while operating income grew 26.6%. Our mechanical services division continues to perform exceptionally well, benefiting from an increased service base, as well as customer investments in HVAC retrofits, control systems upgrades, indoor air quality improvements, and energy efficiency initiatives. In addition, the restructuring actions we implemented last year in our site-based services business are generating meaningful benefits through a leaner cost structure and a more profitable portfolio of contracts. Our industrial services segment generated revenue growth of 26% year-over-year, led by strong performance within field services, while also delivering year-over-year improvement in profitability. Now I'll ask you to turn to slide five. One of the most significant indicators of future growth continues to remain our RPO position. At quarter end, total RPOs reached a record $17.14 billion, An increase of 44% from the prior year, 29% from December, and despite the record organic growth in the quarter, 10% sequential growth from March. Notably, 95% of this growth was organic. This record position provides visibility into future revenue and reflects the strength of customer demand across several sectors. Demand within the network and communications sector, led by data centers, remains exceptionally strong. We continue to see expanding opportunities as customers invest in AI infrastructure and digital transformation initiatives. Equally important are R&P growth with broad base with strong bookings in water and wastewater, healthcare, and the institutional sectors. Customers continue to place trust in MCOR. As we successfully execute projects, and we consistently meet our commitments. Many customers are expanding across geographies and scope into facilities, geographies, trades and other technical disciplines like our pre-construction. This ability to deepen relationships and grow alongside our customers remains a significant competitive advantage for MCOR. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Jason to go through the numbers.
