I'd like to thank you again for taking the time to join us today. On behalf of the Board of Directors and all Principal employees, thank you for your continued support. I will now share with you some business highlights from 2025 and provide an update on our strong financial position. Following that, we will address any remaining questions that have been submitted. Principal is well-positioned for continued strength and performance. We closed 2025 with strong performance across our diversified portfolio of businesses, reflecting the dedication and hard work of our 19,000 employees around the world. Their commitment to excellence and to our customers helped us seize opportunities throughout the year and positions us well for continued growth in 2026. Looking across our three strategic growth areas, our execution in 2025 and the momentum we are carrying into this year position us well. As a reminder, the following are our key strategic areas of focus for continued growth. The retirement ecosystem. Our opportunity extends beyond retirement recordkeeping to asset management, participant advice and wealth management, and retirement income solutions. We have strong capabilities across each of these areas and are focused on maximizing the value we deliver to customers. Small and mid-sized businesses, which we define as employers with fewer than 1,000 employees. These companies are key drivers of job creation and economic growth in the U.S., and their resilience aligns well with the solutions and capabilities we provide. Global asset management, where we continue to expand our private market capabilities while leveraging our access through joint venture partnerships across global markets. Our conviction and our strategy remain strong as we continue to focus on these growth drivers. Each of these represent a compelling market opportunity that aligns well with our differentiated strengths. I'll now highlight several key milestones from 2025 as we executed our strategy and delivered strong results for customers and shareholders. Following that, we will address any remaining questions that you may have submitted. Adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share growth in 2025 was 12%. This performance reflects the strength of our diversified business model, favorable market conditions, and disciplined expense management across the enterprise. We ended 2025 with $781 billion of total company assets under management, up 10% from 2024, which was primarily driven by strong market performance. Turning to capital and liquidity, we ended the year in a very strong position with $1.6 million of excess and available capital, including approximately $800 million at the holding company at our targeted level, $300 million in our subsidiaries, and $480 million in excess of our targeted 375% risk-based capital ratio, which was 406% at the end of the year. Free cash flow conversion remains strong at 92%, and ROE improved 120 basis points year-over-year. Building on sustained performance and improved returns, we are well-positioned to deliver 15%-17% ROE in 2026, an increased target from 2025, reflecting the strength of our results, our competitive positioning, and disciplined capital efficiency across our diversified portfolio. Our strong capital position and free cash flow enabled us to deliver on our capital deployment guidance. We returned over $1.5 billion of capital to shareholders in 2025, including approximately $850 million in share repurchases and $685 million in dividends. Our total capital return to shareholders included share buybacks, which were at the midpoint of our targeted range and an 8% increase in our annual common stock dividend. We closed 2025 with momentum across our integrated and diversified portfolio of businesses. Our success is a testament to the dedication of our employees, whose commitment to our customer enables us to capture opportunities and deliver strong results. Their work continues to position us well for sustained growth and value creation for our customers, employees, and shareholders. I would like to take a moment to highlight a recent addition to our executive management team. Tim Brown will join Principal as Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary effective June 8th. Tim brings deep expertise across legal, compliance, government relations, and operations, most recently serving as Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary at Venerable. I am looking forward to partnering with Tim, and I'm pleased to welcome him to Principal. I would also like to recognize and thank George Djurasovic for his valuable leadership while serving as interim general counsel. This concludes the business update portion of the meeting.
