Okay. Thanks, Julie. Good morning, and thank you for joining us on the call today. We had a fantastic quarter. with amazing execution by our teams. This is the first time that our quarterly revenue has exceeded $3 billion. We earned $12.53 per share this quarter, which is an increase of 92% compared to a year ago. Our mechanical business experienced a sharp increase in profitability, and our electrical segment also performed exceptionally well. Bookings continued to trend upwards, and our backlog increased to a new high of $14.1 billion. Demand remains strong, especially in technology, as we continue to book work with good margins and favorable working conditions for our valuable people, and we enter the second half of 2026 with increased sequential and year-over-year backlog. I want to welcome my newest acquisition, Hunt Electric, a transaction we mentioned last quarter and that closed on May 1st. Hunt is a great electrical business based in Utah, and we expect Hunt will contribute about $250 million of annualized revenue. We also increased our quarterly dividend by $0.10 to $0.90 per share. Thanks to our amazing people, we expect strong results for the rest of 2026 and continuing success into 2027. Trent will discuss our operations and outlook in a few minutes, and I will make a few closing comments after our Q&A. But first, I will turn the call over to Bill to review our financial performance. Bill? Thanks, Brian.
