At this time, it is my pleasure to turn the floor over to your host, Janet Matricciani, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. Thank you, Michael. Good morning, welcome to our fourth quarter and full year 2026 earnings call. I rejoined the company on April the 13th, I'm pleased to be leading the team as we strengthen and grow our company. I look forward to speaking with you in more detail in the quarters ahead. For today, I'll turn it over to our CFO, Johnny Calmes, to walk through the quarter and the full year highlights. Thank you, Johnny. Thanks, Janet. We are pleased with the results of the fourth quarter. More importantly, we feel we are positioned very well for fiscal 2027. We achieved earnings per share of $7.70 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, including the impact of one of our senior executives retiring, which had an after-tax impact of approximately $0.25 per share. Total revenue for the quarter increased 7.4%, driven by an increase in loans outstanding and yields. We also had a fantastic tax preparation season where we saw returns prepared increase 13%. Interest fee and insurance income increased 5.4%, and we expect similar increases in the coming quarters. After a build-up in field personnel in the third fiscal quarter to address service gaps, we reduced headcount in the field by 5% in the fourth quarter. This will reduce personnel expense in the coming quarters relative to the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2026. We expect personnel expense to be between $47 million-$49 million in the first 3 quarters and slightly higher than that in the fourth quarter. We increased our loans outstanding by 4.4% while also decreasing our delinquency in both rate and dollars. This should lead to higher revenues and lower charge-offs in the coming quarters. We also intend to rely less on new customers in the coming year, which should have a positive impact on credit metrics. We repurchased an additional $37.8 million of shares during the quarter. This is an addition to shares previously repurchased during the fiscal year, equates to 16.5% of our outstanding shares at the beginning of the year. Now, at this time, we would like to open it up to any questions you may have. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. To ask a question, you may press star then one on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then two. At this time, we'll pause momentarily to assemble our roster. The first question for today comes from Kyle Joseph with Stephens. Please go ahead. Hey, good morning. Welcome back, Janet, thanks for taking my questions. Just wanted to start on everything that was going on macroeconomically. It sounds like you guys obviously had good growth of your tax revs, just kinda wanna talk through the impacts of the bigger tax refunds on loan demand and credit then, you know, how much of that was offset in March by the increase in gas prices. Thanks. yeah, sure. Kyle, we actually have Tobin Turner, our Chief Operating Officer, here with us on the call, and he can speak to some of the impacts that we're seeing from gas prices or not seeing. Yeah. Thank you, Kyle. We're watching our most recent vintages very, very closely. We seem fairly pleased with their performance. We've kind of been watching our credit box around the margin pretty tightly. At the present, man, high gas prices are definitely on our radar, but we're not seeing a significant impact in our most recent vintages, at least yet. Yeah, as you can see, our front-end delinquency and back-end delinquency looks really strong and improving over March of last year. Yeah, certainly something we're watching, there's no clear indications that it's having an impact so far. Got it. Yeah, nice to see another quarter of loan growth, just, you know, remind us, you know, any leverage limitations you have there. You know, you know, how much growth can you actually do, obviously, you know, balancing, you know, repurchasing shares as well. Thanks. Sure. Yeah, there's no leverage limitations. You know, in general, the goal is to kind of grow in that mid-single-digit range, kind of where we were this year, maybe a little higher. Great. That's it for me. Thanks for taking my questions. Yeah. Again, if you have a question, please press star then one. Seeing no additional questions, this concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Ms. Matricciani for any closing remarks. Yes. I'd just like to say thank you very much for your interest in our company, and we very much look forward to our path ahead. The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
