Thank you, Mayank. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for the Hope Bancorp Investor Conference Call for the first quarter of 2026.

As usual, we will be using a slide presentation to accompany our discussion this morning, which is available on the Presentations page of our Investor Relations website.

Beginning on Slide 2. Let me start with a brief statement regarding forward-looking remarks. The call today contains forward-looking projections regarding the future financial performance of the company and future events. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially. Hope Bancorp assumes no obligation to revise any forward-looking projections that may be made on today's call.

In addition, some of the information referenced during this call today includes non-GAAP financial measures. For a more detailed description of the risk factors and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the company's filings with the SEC as well as the safe harbor statements in our press release issued this morning.
