Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Ryan Pape, Chair of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of XPEL Inc. I welcome you to the company's 2026 Virtual Annual Stockholders Meeting. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that during today's meeting, including any Q&A session, we may make forward-looking statements regarding expected revenue earnings per share, results of operations, future plans, opportunities, and expectations of the company. These estimates and plans and other forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These risks are detailed in our latest Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27th, 2026, our quarterly report filed on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on May 8th, 2026, and in other statements made by the company. The statements made during this meeting are based upon information known to XPEL as of today. XPEL assumes no obligation to update the information we present to you. Today, we will conduct the business of the meeting. There are a few procedural matters I'd like to go through. On the meeting webpage, you will find the agenda, rules of conduct for the meeting. The proposals we are presenting and voting on are listed as well. You may use Click Here to Vote Your Proxy if you wish to vote or change your prior vote during the meeting. Before we begin the presentation, I would like to introduce members of the board of directors who are with us today on the webcast. Stacy Bogart, Rick Crumly, Michael Klonne, John North, and Mark Thornton. Barry Wood, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, is serving as our Inspector of Elections. He's previously signed an oath of office, which has been properly filed in the corporate records. Participating is Allen Lorenzato and Kelsey Nelson of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the company's independent registered public accounting firm. Barry Wood will also act as the Secretary of the meeting. I will now ask Mr. Wood to give us the quorum report and also a report on other administrative matters. Barry? Mr. Chair, as of the close of business on April 15th, 2026, the record date, XPEL had 27,682,807 shares of its common stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote at this meeting. The Inspector of Elections has reported that stockholders entitled to cast more than 85% of the votes eligible to be cast at the meeting are present and represented by proxy, and therefore, a quorum is present and the meeting may proceed. I would like to report that the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, dated April 30th, 2026, as well as a form of proxy statement, and our annual report on Form 10-K were made available on the internet and by mail on or about that date to each of the stockholders of record of the company as of the close of business on the record date. Mr. Chair, I have provided you the notice of annual meeting, proxy statement, form of proxy, annual report on Form 10-K, and an affidavit of mailing prepared by XPEL's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. I also have a copy of a list of registered stockholders of the company entitled to vote at the meeting, which has been available for the 10 days preceding the meeting and open to the examination of any stockholder for any purposes germane to the meeting. Thank you, Barry. The affidavit of mailing, the affidavit of the inspector, the stockholders list, along with the notice of annual meeting, annual report on Form 10-K, proxy statement and form of proxy will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. With the quorum present, I declare this meeting is duly constituted and convened, and may proceed with the transaction of business. We will now read the proposals to be voted upon, after which time we will open the polls. After the polls are open, we will answer any questions about the proposals. There are three proposals. Barry, will you read the first proposal? The stockholders are asked to vote on the election of six members to the board of directors, with each serving for one-year terms. The nominees for election are Ryan Pape, Stacy Bogart, Richard Crumly, Michael Klonne, John North, and Mark Thornton, who are current directors of the company. Do I hear a motion for the election? We have a motion from Kim Steiner. Do I hear a second? We have a second from Carlos Alvarez. Barry, please read the second proposal. The stockholders are asked to vote on a proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31st, 2026. Do I hear a motion for the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31st, 2026? We have a motion from Duane Gotro. Do I hear a second? We have a second from Tony Rimas. Barry, please read the third proposal.

Do I hear a motion for approval of, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the company's named executive officers? We have a motion from Chris Coffee. Do I hear a second?

If you're a stockholder of record and have not voted yet, or if you want to change your previously cast vote and you wish to vote now, you can do so online. You will need your 12-digit control number in order to vote today. Thank you. We will wait a few minutes for vote tabulation, and once completed, we will close the polls and announce the results. I understand the votes are now tabulated. I now declare the polls closed. Barry, please read the inspection of elections report on the tabulation of votes. Mr. Chair, the results based on the voting of shares represented by proxies on file and tabulated at the meeting this morning show the following. The director nominees have received the greatest number of votes of those shares that were represented at the virtual annual meeting and voted for the election of directors, and therefore, each of them has been elected as a director to serve for the term expiring on the date of the company's 2027 annual meeting and until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified. The proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP received a majority of the shares represented and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, and therefore, the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as XPEL's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31st, 2026, has been ratified. The proposal to approve on an advisory basis the compensation of the company's named executive officers received a majority of the votes cast represented and entitled to vote at the virtual annual meeting, and therefore, the compensation of the company's named executive officers has been approved. Mr. Chair, that concludes the report of the voting. Details of the results will be available for all stockholders in our filings with the SEC within four business days. Stockholders may also obtain the voting results by calling or writing our corporate secretary. With the voting concluded, there is no further business to be conducted at today's meeting, and the meeting is hereby adjourned. Thank you for attending today's meeting.
