Interim President and Chief Executive Officer - Alexander J. Buehler Interim Chief Financial Officer - Aidan Ryan Operator: Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Energy Recovery's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. During today's call, Energy Recovery may make projections and other forward-looking statements under the safe harbor provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events or the future financial performance of the company.
These statements may discuss our business, economic and market outlook, growth expectations, new products and their performance, cost structure and business strategy. Forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the company and on management's beliefs, assumptions, estimates and projections. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risk, uncertainties and other factors.
We refer you to documents the company files from time to time with the SEC, specifically the company's annual Form 10-K and quarterly Form 10-Q. These documents identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections or forward-looking statements. All statements made during this call are made only as of today, August 5, 2026, and the company expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements made during this call to reflect subsequent events or circumstances unless otherwise required by law.
Our host for today's call are Alex Buehler, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Energy Recovery; and Aidan Ryan, Interim Chief Financial Officer. I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Buehler: Thank you, operator, and good afternoon, everyone.
Earlier today, we released a letter to shareholders on the Investor Relations section of our website that reviews business and financial performance during the quarter. Prior to opening the line for questions and answers, I'd like to highlight a few important takeaways from that letter. We are focused on bringing our CEO search to a close and have been impressed with the breadth and the quality of the candidate pool.
The combination of Energy Recovery's long-term tailwinds, technology leadership and platform strength have allowed us to attract accomplished leaders who are ready to lead our next chapter of growth. We look forward to updating you further as this search progresses. As Interim CEO, I'm focused on ensuring the successful execution of our business initiatives and continuity with our customers and employees during this search process.
