Thank you, Michael. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Bristol Group's first quarter of 2026 earnings call. I'm joined on the call today with our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chris Bradshaw, and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Jennifer Whalen. Before we begin, I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that during the course of this call, management may make forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that are described in more detail on slide three of the investor presentation. You may access the investor presentation on our website. we will also reference certain non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and free cash flows. A reconciliation of such measures to GAAP is included in the earnings relief and the investor presentation. I will now turn the call over to our President and CEO. Chris?

President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Red. The company delivered on our goal of zero air accidents in the first quarter, and the Bristow team remains committed to safety as our number one core value and highest operational priority. Bristow's first quarter financial results place us on track for what is expected to be a transformational year for the company. We are pleased to affirm our financial guidance ranges for 2026, which notably reflect adjusted EBITDA growth for approximately 25% year over year. While geopolitical conflicts and tensions have driven turbulent and concerning global conditions thus far in 2026, these macro developments underscore the conviction we have in the outlook for Bristow's business. I'll have more comments on the strong tailwinds poised to benefit the company later in the call. But for now, I will hand it over to our CFO for a detailed discussion of Q1 results and our financial outlook. Jennifer?
