Whirlpool Corporation

we ask that participants ask no more than two questions. With that, I'll turn the call over to Mark. Thanks, Scott, and good morning, everyone. Today, we're going to discuss our 2025 results and share our expectations for 2020.

I am honored to step into the role of Chief Financial Officer of Wopu Corporation. Having spent the last 18 years at Wopu, I have a deep appreciation for our operations and a firm commitment to driving long-term shareholder value. Prior to my current role, I served as Executive Vice President, Finance and Corporate Controller. In 2021, I was the Chief Financial Officer of our European segment, where I led both finance and integrated supply chain operations and supported the organization through our European divestiture. Joining Whirlpool in 2008, I have had the privilege of holding numerous roles across course management, commercial and corporate finance, including leading the finance functions of our U.S. Laundry and U.S. Sales Organization in North America. In 2019, I had the honor of leading investor relations where I connected with both our investors and analysts. I look forward to reestablishing those connections and creating new ones. I'm excited to work alongside the leadership team and our employees to deliver our next chapter of growth. Now I will turn it over to Juan Carlos.
