Operator: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to the BlueLinx Holdings Inc. First Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode, and today’s call is being recorded. We will begin with opening remarks and introductions. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to your host, Investor Relations Officer, Thomas C. Morabito. Please go ahead.
Thomas C. Morabito: Thank you, Operator, and welcome to the BlueLinx Holdings Inc. first quarter 2026 earnings call. Joining me on today’s call are Shyam K. Reddy, our Chief Executive Officer, and Christopher Kelly Wall, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. At the end of today’s prepared remarks, we will take questions. Our first quarter news release and Form 10-Q were issued yesterday after the close of the market, along with our webcast presentation, and these items are available in the Investors section of our website. We encourage you to follow along with the detailed information on the slides during our discussion. Today’s discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ significantly from those forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties, including the risks described in our most recent SEC filings. Today’s presentation includes certain non-GAAP and adjusted financial measures that we believe provide helpful context for investors evaluating our business. Reconciliations to the closest GAAP financial measure can be found in the appendix of our presentation. Now I will turn it over to Shyam.

While overall market conditions remain soft, our deliberate alignment of key supplier branded product expansion with strategic channel growth initiatives is enabling us to drive better commercial outcomes and …
