Oil-Dri Corporation Of America

Good day and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Oil Dry Corporation of America fourth quarter fiscal year 2026 earnings discussion. At this time all participants are in a listen only mode. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Dan Jaffee, Chairman, President, and CEO. Please go ahead.

Thank you and welcome everybody to the fourth quarter and fiscal year end 2026 teleconference. Before we get started, Leslie, will you walk us through the safe harbor and also let everyone know who's on the call so they can ask questions?

Yes, sure. Thank you, Dan. Welcome everyone. Today on the call we have Susan Kreh, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Information Officer, Aaron Christiansen, our VP of Operations, Chris Lamson, Group Vice President of Business to Business and Strategic Growth Initiatives, Wade Robey, VP of Agriculture and President of Amlin International, Laura Scheland, Vice President and General Manager of Consumer Products Division, John Blake, VP Corporate Controller, Tony Parker, VP General Counsel and Secretary. Unfortunately not in attendance today is Bruce Patsey, Vice President of Fluid Purification, but Dan Jaffee, our CEO, will be able to answer those questions. Right now I'll read the safe harbor. On today's call, comments may contain forward-looking statements regarding the company's performance in future periods. Actual results in those periods may materially differ. In our press release and in our SEC filings, we highlight a number of important risk factors, trends, and uncertainties that may affect our future performance. We ask that you review and consider those factors in evaluating the company's comments and in evaluating any investment in oil dry stocks. Thank you again for joining us. Dan, I'll turn it back over to you.
