Good morning, welcome to the Victory Capital 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. I would like to turn the call over to Mr. David Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who will preside over today's meeting. Please go ahead, Mr. Chairman. Good morning. Thank you for joining us for Victory Capital's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Before we begin today's formal agenda, I want to take a moment to thank our clients, stockholders, and employees for their continued support. 2025 was a landmark year for Victory Capital. We surpassed $1 billion in annual revenue for the first time in our company's history, reaching $1.3 billion for the full year, delivered record earnings, and ended the year with $317 billion in total client assets. We also successfully closed and integrated our strategic partnership with Amundi, bringing Pioneer Investments onto our platform, a truly transformational milestone that has globalized our business, expanded our reach to clients across more than 60 countries, and strengthened our long-term growth trajectory. Moving on to the business agenda of today's meeting, we will now attend to the matters outlined in our proxy statement. Following this part of the meeting, we will answer questions that stockholders may have asked online. If you have a question, please enter it in the question field of the meeting portal in the next few minutes.

The Victory Capital Holdings board is comprised of the nine following members: Céline Boyer-Chammard, Dominique Carrel-Billiard, Lawrence Davanzo, Robert Delaney Jr., Richard DeMartini, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Mary Jackson, Alan Rappaport, plus myself. Together, this group brings deep and broad expertise across asset management, finance, and global business, and their counsel and oversight are invaluable to our management team and to the long-term success of Victory Capital. Complete biographies for each director can be found in our 2026 proxy statement. I would also like to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication on behalf of our clients and shareholders.
