Karen Blomquist

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Albany International's First Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. As a reminder for those listening on the call, please refer to our press release issued this morning detailing our quarterly financial results. Contained in the text of the release is a notice regarding our forward-looking statements and the use of certain non-GAAP financial measures and their reconciliation to GAAP. For the purposes of this conference call, those same statements apply to our verbal remarks this morning. Additionally, our remarks today may reference our earnings presentation, which is available on the Investor Relations section of our website, albint.com.

Today, we will make statements that are forward-looking and contain a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied. For a full discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to both our earnings release of April 30, 2026, as well as our SEC filings, including our 10-Q and our 10-K.

Now I'll turn the call over to Gunnar Kleveland, our President and CEO, who will provide opening remarks. Gunnar?
