All right. Thanks, Julie. Good morning, and thank you for joining us on the call today. Before we start... I want to sincerely thank our employees across the country working through so many tough challenges, including record heat, and achieving amazing results for our customers. We had a strong second quarter. Thanks to careful planning and superb execution, our teams continue to perform for our customers and our stakeholders. We earned $1.17 per share this quarter compared to $0.90 a year ago. Unprecedented market conditions resulted in same-store revenue growth of approximately 25 percent, driven by increased activity and strong markets combined with the effects of cost increases in materials, equipment, and other inputs. New work is commencing across our footprint, and our backlog and pipeline remain strong. Cash flow was also excellent this quarter. especially since we are investing capital to support our growth. During the quarter, we also amended our credit facility to increase it to $850 million and improve flexibility and cost. We want to thank our banks for recognizing the strength of our balance sheet and providing us with this additional financial flexibility. I will discuss our business and outlook shortly. But first, I will turn this call over to Bill to review our financial performance. Bill? Thanks, Brian.
