Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to our fiscal 2026 second-quarter earnings call. With me today is Sam Hinrichsen, our Chief Financial Officer. Before commenting on our quarterly results, I'd like to address recent developments related to the conflict in the Middle East. We are closely monitoring the situation with our top priority remaining the safety of our employees and partners in the region.
The MENA market has been a strong source of growth for our International Irrigation business and deliveries tied to our most recent project are meaningful to our revenue. The project remains on schedule, and our supply chains are currently operating without disruption. Any future risk will depend on the duration of the conflict and the potential for broader geographic impact. At this time, we remain well positioned to continue supporting our customers and dealers across the region.
