President, CEO & Director

Thank you, Bailey. Good morning. Thank you all for joining our Q3 2025 earnings call. We had an excellent quarter. Strong and diversified revenue growth remains a core differentiator for our company. Market share gains across all of our businesses continued. We remain focused on expenses even as we are making a $100 million investment in facilities, talent and technology across all of our businesses. Risk metrics remain excellent.

The strength of our capital, liquidity and credit continues to provide the base for our growth. All in all, record operating earnings per share up 23.9% year-over-year.
