The board of directors established September 11, 2026, as the record date for the determination of stockholders' entitlement to vote and to notice at this meeting. The company has appointed Mr. Robert V. Johnson, of the firm Broadridge Financial, to serve as inspector of election. He has previously signed an oath of office, which has been filed with the secretary of the meeting. The inspector of election is in charge of deciding upon the qualifications of persons voting as well as collecting and tabulating proxies. Mr. Chairman, we have been informed by the inspector of election that the holders of more than 81 percent of the shares of the company's one-cent par value common stock are present in person or by proxy. Since this represents more than a majority of the voting power of all issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote on the record date, I declare that a quorum is present and this meeting is duly constituted and convened and is competent to proceed with the transaction of business. Now I will present the matters to be voted upon. Please note that we will give stockholders an opportunity to comment on the proposals themselves after all proposals have been presented. If any stockholder would like to make a comment regarding any of the proposals, please submit your comment through the web portal. The proposals to be voted on are summarized as follows. Proposal number 1: To elect 7 members to our board of directors, each for a term extending until our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors have been elected or qualified. The nominees for director are as follows: Jose L. Bustamante, Martha Z. Carnes, John D. Chandler, Carlin G. Connor, Sean P. Payne, Leanne K. Hendricks, and James H. Miller. Proposal number 2: To ratify our audit committee's engagement of Deloitte & Tusch LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal to for the 2027 fiscal year. Proposal number 3: To conduct an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in our proxy statement. It is 10:06 a.m. Central Time on November 3, 2026, and the polls are now open. Any stockholder who hasn't voted yet or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions there. Stockholders who have sent in proxies or voted via telephone or internet and do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. We will now pause for a few moments to allow for voting. Now that everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I declare the polls for the 2026 Matrix Service Company annual meeting closed at 10:07 a.m. Central Time on November 3, 2026. We have been informed by the inspector of elections that the preliminary vote report shows that the nominees for election to the board have been duly elected, the selection of Deloitte & Tusch as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2027 has been ratified, and the compensation of the named executive officers has been approved by advisory vote. We will report the final results in an SEC filing within 4 business days. There being no further business, the voting portion of the 2026 Matrix Service Company annual meeting of stockholders is now complete. I will now turn the floor over to Mr. Sean Payne, president and CEO of Matrix Service Company. Thank you, Mr. Miller. Over the past 18 months, we have transformed Matrix by simplifying the organization, strengthening commercial discipline, reducing our cost structure, and aligning our company around a clear strategy for growth and execution. Those actions are improving performance, strengthening our competitive position, and creating a stronger foundation for long-term shareholder value. As a result, Matrix has better positioned than it has been in years to capitalize on the significant opportunities emerging across our end markets. If the center of this transformation is win, execute, deliver, it is more than a strategy; it's our operating framework for how we pursue work, execute projects, allocate resources, and measure performance. Win is about building a higher quality business by improving the quality and diversity of our backlog, strengthening customer relationships, and expanding into attractive end markets. We are focused not simply on winning more work, but winning the right work with the appropriate risk profile and commercial terms. Execute is where value is created and reputations are earned. It means delivering projects safely, on time, and on budget. Stronger operational discipline, better processes, effective change management, and consistent execution are fundamental to achieving that objective. Deliver is about turning strong execution into consistent financial performance and long-term shareholder value. It reflects our commitment to accountability, disciplined capital deployment, and continuous improvement. Together, win, execute, deliver provides a clear roadmap for how we intend to grow the business and improve performance. We are pursuing the strategy from a position of financial strength, with a strong balance sheet, robust liquidity, and no debt. With the transformation largely behind us, our focus is now squarely on execution, profitable growth, and sustainable value creation. Thank you, Mr. Payne. Showing no questions, Jermaine, to the meeting on the web portal, I will now turn the call back to Mr. Chandler. Thank you. In closing, I want to express the board's appreciation for the dedication of the employees of Matrix Service Company for the continued confidence placed in the company by its longstanding clients, and for you, our company's stockholders, who we are proud to represent. This concludes the meeting agenda. Thank you all for attending our 2026 annual meeting. That concludes our meeting today. You may now
