Thank you, operator, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Floor and Decor's Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings Conference Call. Joining me today are Tom Taylor, Executive Chair, Brad Paulson, Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Langley, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I want to remind everyone of the company's Safe Harbor language, Comments made during this call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Thank you, Wayne, and thanks to everyone joining us today for our fiscal 2025 fourth quarter and full year earnings conference call. During today's conference call, Brad, Brian, and I will be walking through the key highlights from the quarter and the full year. Then Brian will share how we're approaching fiscal 2026 and the priorities that are shaping our outlook. We're pleased to deliver fiscal 2025 fourth quarter diluted earnings per share of 36 cents, which was in line with the midpoint of our earnings guidance provided on our third quarter earnings conference call. For the full fiscal year, diluted earnings per share was $1.92 compared with $1.90 in the prior year. As a reminder, last year's results include $6.8 million or 5 cents per share of net benefit related to the derivative litigation settlement in the fourth quarter of 2024. Our fourth quarter sales increased 2% to $1,130,000,000, while comparable store sales declined 4.8%. For the full fiscal year, sales grew 5.1% to $4,684,000,000, and comparable store sales declined 1.8%, which was near the low end of our expectations. I'm incredibly proud of what our teams accomplished in 2025. Despite pressure on comparable store sales driven by softness and existing home sales activities and the shift to smaller flooring projects, we expanded our market share, navigated tariff complexities, increased our gross margin rate, opened 20 new stores, and delivered year-over-year earnings growth. This performance reflects our unwavering commitment to disciplined execution and strategic investment in our future. It also reinforces our confidence in our long-term strategy and in the opportunities ahead for our customers, our associates, and our shareholders. With that said, let me now turn the call over to Brad.
