Good morning, and welcome to Constellation Software's 2025 fourth-quarter results. (Operator Instructions) Please note, this event is being recorded. On the call today, we have Mark Miller, President and COO; Jamal Baksh, CFO; and Bernie Anzarouth, CIO. Mr. Miller, please go ahead.
Thank you very much, Drew. Good morning, everyone, and thank you all for joining the call. Our press release went out earlier today. So I hope you've had a chance to at least flip through it. And I wanted to make a few remarks before we move into Q&A.
So there's a real noise in the market now about AI disrupting software businesses, and we take that very seriously. But we think we're well positioned, although we're staying very disciplined about how we approach it. We've always run a learning culture at Constellation, best practice sharing across our operating groups is one of our genuine differentiators.
And I've seen more cross-portfolio collaboration around AI in the past
