Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the V2X, Inc. 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I would like to introduce you to Mary Howell, Chairman of the Board of Directors of V2X, Inc.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It is now 8:00 A.M. Eastern Time, and I'd like to call the meeting to order. I'm Mary Howell, Chairman of the Board of Directors of V2X. As chairman of this meeting, I am delighted to welcome you to the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of V2X. Before we begin, I'd like to thank the 16,000+ employees of V2X for all their contributions. We thank you for all you do for our nation and our company. 2025 was a successful year on many fronts in both supporting our customers' missions and achieving our commitments to shareholders and employees. Our progress reflects the strength of our strategy, and we see continued momentum across the business, supported by a large pipeline of opportunities and the ongoing demand for our mission solutions.
As we continue to invest, partner, and innovate, we believe V2X is uniquely positioned to deliver greater value for our customers and long-term value for our shareholders. I'd like to inform you about the mechanics of our meeting.
