Stride, Inc.

Hello and thank you for standing by. My name is Tiffany and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the STRIDE third quarter fiscal year 2026 earnings call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during that time, simply press star Bidding number one on your telephone keypad. I would now like to turn the call over to Eliza Henson, Manager of Investor Relations. Eliza, please go ahead.

Thank you and good afternoon. Welcome to STRIDE's third quarter earnings call for fiscal year 2026. With me on today's call are James Rue, Chief Executive Officer, and Donna Blackman, Chief Financial Officer. As a reminder, today's conference call and webcast are accompanied by a presentation that can be found on the Stride Investor Relations website. Please be advised that today's discussion of our financial results may include certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of these measures is provided in the earnings release issued this afternoon and can also be found on our Investor Relations website. In addition to historical information, this call will also involve forward-looking statements. The company's actual results could differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to several important factors as described in the company's earnings release and latest SEC filings, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. These statements are made on the basis of our views and assumptions regarding future events and business performance at the time we make them, and the company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Following our prepared remarks, we will answer questions you may have. Now, I'll turn the call over to James.

Thanks, Eliza, and good afternoon, everyone. I'd like to start off with an update on the platform issues we experienced earlier this year. As I mentioned last quarter, we continue to execute on the roadmap for stability and improvements. As we close out this school year and preparations have already begun for the coming fall, we are heads down making sure our customers get the best experience possible. So I'm comfortable with our progress and believe we are on the right track as we prepare for the fall season. And as we have discussed previously, the demand for our products and services, as indicated by application volumes, continues to be strong relative to the start levels. And while our focus is on finishing this year executing against our roadmap, we believe the demand environment sets us up well for the future. And although we experience a marginally higher level of attrition since I gave an update on our last call, this was not unexpected. We continue to monitor, but we are confident it won't harm our long-term prospects. I believe the macro environment for school alternatives like ours continues to be a long-term trend that will serve as a tail end to our business. Our job right now is to maintain focus and execute for the rest of this year and into the fall so that the students and their families can continue to choose the options, including our programs that they deserve. Thank you, and I will now turn the call over to Donna.
