Senior Vice President and Controller - Elizabeth Loveman Operator: Thank you for standing by. My name is Tina, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the NACCO Industries Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Christina Kmetko, Investor Relations.
Christina Kmetko: Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for our 2026 second quarter earnings call. I'm Christina Kmetko, and I'm responsible for Investor Relations at NACCO. Joining me today are J.C.
Butler, NACCO's President and CEO; and Elizabeth Loveman, our Senior Vice President and Controller. Yesterday, we released our second quarter results and filed our 10-Q with the SEC. Both documents are available on our website.
During today's call, we will reference non-GAAP measures, which we believe provide additional insight into how we manage our business. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are also available on our website. Before we begin, let me remind you that today's remarks include forward-looking statements.
Actual results may differ materially from those indicated due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which are described in our earnings release, 10-Q and other SEC filings. We undertake no obligation to update these statements. Now I'll turn the call over to J.C. for his opening remarks.
John Butler: Thanks, Christy, and good morning, everyone. I want to start by saying that from an operating standpoint, the second quarter showed meaningful progress across NACCO's businesses. Utility Coal Mining, Contract Mining and Minerals and Royalties all contributed nicely to strong year-over-year improvement in gross profit and adjusted EBITDA.
