Now, I'd like to turn the conference over to Alan Fleming, head of investor relations. Please go ahead, Mr. Fleming.

Thank you, Operator, and good morning. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that in responding to questions and talking about our growth initiatives and our financial and operating performance, we may make forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, and future results may differ materially. For further information on known risk factors, I encourage you to review our filings with the securities regulators in Canada and the U.S., both of which are available on our website. We'll begin the call today with a few opening remarks from Cyrus Madden, our Executive Chairman. Anuj Ranjan, our Chief Executive Officer, will then provide an update on our business performance and strategic initiatives. Anuj will then turn the call over to Dennis Turcotte, our Chief Operating Officer, to share an update on our operating environment and progress at Clarios. Jaspreet Del, our Chief Financial Officer, will finish with a discussion of our financial results. The team will then be available to take your questions. I'd like to now pass the call over to Cyrus.

Thank you, Alan. Good morning, everyone. Thanks very much for joining us on the call today. We've been very busy over the last few months. We had a super strong fourth quarter, capped off a great year for our business, and I'm very pleased to inform you that our board of directors has appointed Anuj, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Business Partners. Anuj and I have worked together for nearly 20 years. He's held a number of leadership roles across Brookfield, He's been instrumental in many of Brookfield's activities over that time. And since being appointed president of BBU nearly two years ago, he's taken on increasing responsibility managing our day-to-day operations. I can tell you without any hesitation that Anuj is an exceptional investor, and I'm confident he will seamlessly transition into the CEO role. I have joined the board in the capacity of executive chairman, where I will continue to remain fully active in the business. I will remain active in our investment process, strategy, and supporting Anuj and the broader management team, including maintaining my role on our investment committee. These changes provide a strong foundation for our future. And while you should expect our business to continue to evolve, the guiding principles underpinning our track record of success, and strong performance will remain unchanged. With that, I'd like to turn it over to our CEO, Anuj Ranjan.
