The advisory vote on executive compensation indicates approval of the company's executive compensation program as set forth in the proxy statement. The appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for 2025 is ratified. The meeting is now adjourned. On behalf of the board of directors and all the Principal employees, thank you for your continued support. Next, I'll be turning the meeting over to CEO Deanna Strable for Principal's business update. I would be remiss for not mentioning how quickly Deanna has been able to step into the role as our CEO with our investors, our employees, as well as our customers. Deanna? Thanks, Dan. Before moving into the business update, I want to take a moment to recognize Dan for his leadership during his 40 years at the company and especially as our CEO for the last 10 years. He has been instrumental in setting our company's growth agenda and has led us through significant transformation. Principal is well-positioned for continued strength and growth thanks to his leadership. It has been an honor to work alongside Dan over the past seven years as his CFO. I look forward to building upon the strategy Dan and I co-architected under his leadership with the ultimate goal of creating value for our customers, employees, and shareholders. We hosted an Investor Day in November this past year where we laid out our three strategic areas of focus for sustained growth. The retirement ecosystem, our opportunity in retirement extends beyond retirement record keeping to also include asset management, participant advice and wealth management, and income solutions. We have strong capabilities in all of these areas as we aim to maximize the value to customers across all these capabilities. Small and mid-sized businesses are what we define as employers with fewer than 1,000 employees. They are large generators of job creation, job growth, and contribution to the U.S. economy. They are also incredibly resilient, and we have the solutions and capabilities to meet their needs. Global asset management, including how we are working to build additional private capabilities and leveraging our access through joint venture partnerships across global markets. Our conviction and our strategy has never been stronger, with a laser focus on growth across the retirement ecosystem, SMBs, and global asset management. Each presents outsized market growth opportunities aligned with our strong differentiated capabilities. I'll now share with you some key milestones and highlights from 2024 as we executed our strategy with discipline and focus and delivered strong results for our customers and shareholders. Following that, we will address any remaining questions that you may have submitted. Adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share growth in 2024 was 11%. This was driven by strong top-line growth across the enterprise, as well as the benefits from market tailwinds, which more than offset impacts from foreign currency. We ended 2024 with over $700 billion of total company assets under management, up 3% from 2023. Strong market performance despite market volatility in the final weeks of the year more than offset impacts from foreign currency headwinds and net cash flow. Turning to capital and liquidity, we ended the year in a very strong position with $1.6 billion of excess and available capital, including approximately $830 million at the holding company, above our targeted level, $300 million in our subsidiaries, and $430 million in excess of our targeted 375% risk-based capital ratio, which was 404% at the end of the year. Our free capital flow conversion ratio ended the year at the midpoint of our 75%-85% target, and we improved our ROE by 90 basis points year over year and are on track to achieve our 14%-16% target in 2025. Our strong capital position and free capital flow enabled us to deliver on our capital deployment guidance. We returned $1.7 billion of capital to shareholders in 2024. Our total capital return to shareholders included share buybacks, which were above the midpoint of our targeted range, and a 10% increase in our annual common stock dividend. Our board of directors recently approved a new share repurchase authorization for $1.5 billion. This is in addition to the nearly $800 million remaining under the prior authorization at the end of last year. We closed 2024 with momentum across our integrated and diverse portfolio of businesses. Our success is a testament to the focus and hard work of our 20,000 global employees. Their ongoing commitment to excellence and to our customers enabled us to seize opportunities and has set the stage for future growth. I'd like to take a moment to highlight another recent change to our executive management team. Lisa Coulson was promoted to Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer in November of 2024. Lisa joined the company in 2007 as an industry veteran and has held several senior roles leading human resources strategy, operations, and total rewards, and has extensive experience in strategic compensation, benefits design, and executive coaching. I'm excited to be able to work with Lisa in this role. This concludes the business update portion of the meeting. If you haven't already done so, please submit any questions or comments you may have.
