Thanks, Ali. Good morning, everyone. We appreciate you taking the time to be with us as we review Doman's second quarter of 2026 financial results and discuss the current market environment. Overall, our second quarter performance demonstrates the resilience of our business model and the strength of our diversified product offering. Thank you for joining us. Construction materials continue to represent the largest component of our business, accounting for approximately 84% of sales, with specialty and allied products contributing 13% and other sources making up the balance. Our ability to deliver record revenues while maintaining disciplined pricing and customer service reflects the effectiveness of our distribution network, the breadth of our product portfolio, and the long-standing relationships we have built with customers across North America. Close margin dollars increased modestly to $146 million, while our close margin percentage remained stable at 16.1%. Maintained margin in today's environment speaks to the disciplined approach our teams continue to take in managing inventory, procurement, and pricing across the dynamic market. Adjusted EVDA for the quarter was just under $79 million, broadly consistent with the prior year's quarter, despite continued market volatility. While EVDA was slightly below last year's level, we were pleased to generate net earnings $31.2 million, an improvement over the $27.7 million reported in the second quarter of 25. Looking at the first six months of the year, revenues totaled $1.67 billion, with adjusted EVDA of $147 million. Close margin percentage improved slightly to 16.5%, and net earnings increased to $55.1 million compared to $51.2 million in the same period last year. These results demonstrate our ability to generate consistent profitability while navigating a market that remains far from uniform. As always, our priorities remain unchanged. We continue to focus on disciplined execution, operational efficiency, prudent working capital management, and providing exceptional service to our customers. These fundamentals have enabled us to perform consistently across different market cycles and position the company to capitalize on opportunities as demand improves. Our balance sheet and cash generation continues to support our capital allocation strategy, including returning capital to shareholders. Consistent with that commitment, we declared our quarterly dividend at $0.14 per share, reflecting our confidence in the long-term strength of the business. Looking ahead, while macroeconomic uncertainty remains, we believe Doman is well-positioned. Our diversified product mix, broad geographic footprint, experience management team, and disciplined operating model provide a strong foundation as market conditions continue to evolve. In closing, I'd like to thank our employees for their continued dedication and commitment, our customers and supplier partners for their ongoing trust, and our shareholders for their continued support. With that, I'm going to turn the call over to Darren, our CFO, to review the financial results in more detail before we open the lineup for analyst questions. Thanks. Darren?
