Eilif Serck-Hanssen, President and Chief Executive Officer, will now provide a brief report about the company, after which we will have a brief Q&A period. Thank you, Andy. 2025 was another strong year for Laureate. We delivered on our commitments to all stakeholders. Through disciplined execution, we achieved robust operating results, driving our margin profile to a new historic high and further reinforcing our dedication to continued growth and enhanced profitability. In addition to favorable financial results, our cash-accretive business model and strong balance sheet enabled us to return $217 million of capital to shareholders during 2025. Since 2019, total capital return to shareholders have exceeded $3 billion through share repurchases, cash distributions, and cash dividends. We remain well-positioned to execute on our growth plans while continuing to prioritize the return of excess capital to shareholders. In 2025, we continued to strengthen our academic offerings and made further investments in our campus network, including the opening of two new campuses for our value brands, one in Monterrey, Mexico, and one in Lima, Peru's east district of Ate. We also made further investments in our health sciences portfolio, including the opening of a new medical school and a new veterinary school. Our institutions continue to be recognized among the best private universities in their respective countries and consistently lead the way in academic excellence. 2026 is off to a good start, having just completed our first quarter enrollment intake cycles, which were in line with our expectations. We see sustained growth opportunities in both markets, including building additional new campuses for our university brands, in new cities and new site locations over the next five-year period and beyond. Despite current geopolitical uncertainty, we remain confident that the demand for quality higher education in both Mexico and Peru will continue to increase for years to come. This demand is fueled by rising participation rates, strong wage premiums for graduates, and the affordability of our programs. The key points of promotable differentiation for Laureate are our leading brands, strong culture of innovation and student centricity, and track record of delivering quality education at scale. These assets drive our long-term value creation for all stakeholders. Thank you for attending our annual stockholder meeting. I now turn the call back to our Chairman, Andrew Cohen. This concludes the management presentation. Our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Rick Buskirk, will join Eilif and me in responding to any stockholder questions received through the web portal. Please note that we will attempt to answer questions as time allows, but only questions that are germane to the meeting will be addressed. Any unaddressed questions will be answered on our corporate website shortly following the meeting. Ms. Brush, are there any questions? There are no additional questions. Thank you. This concludes our Q&A session. Thank you for joining us today. You may now disconnect. This now concludes the meeting. Thank you for joining, and have a pleasant day.
