Vice President, Investor Relations

Thank you operator and welcome everyone. Today I'm joined by Carey Ford, President and CEO, and Dustin Honing, our CFO. Yesterday we reported our second quarter results, highlighted by robust heavy oil drilling and well service activity in Canada and improving rig utilization in the U.S. Carey and Dustin will review these results, provide an operational update and outlook commentary. Once we have finalized our prepared remarks, we will open the call for questions. Please note that some comments today will refer to non-IFRS financial measures and include forward-looking statements, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For more information on financial measures, forward-looking statements and risk factors, please refer to our news release and other regulatory filings available on CDARplus and EDGAR. As a reminder, we express our financial results in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

President and Chief Executive Officer

Carey, over to you. Thank you, Lavonne, and good morning and good afternoon. Before I hand the call over to Dustin, I would like to make a few comments on the progress toward our 2026 strategic priorities. This year, Precision Drilling aims to grow revenue through a differentiated service offering and deepening customer relationships while generating cash flow and returning it to shareholders through debt reduction and share repurchases. Halfway through the year, we are delivering on these priorities. We have grown year-to-date revenue by 8%, significantly expanded our contract book of business, executed contracted upgrades, and increased activity in both Canada and the US. We are on track to meet our return of capital commitments. In short, we are delivering on what we set out to accomplish in 2026. With that, I will turn the call over to Dustin to discuss the financial results released yesterday evening in detail.
