Founded in 1965 by Lucien and Dita Bronicki, Ormat has grown into a global player with operations in the United States, Indonesia, Kenya, Turkey, Chile, and many other countries. The company operates through three segments: Electricity Generation, Product Manufacturing, and Energy Storage Solutions. In the Electricity Generation segment, Ormat develops, constructs, owns, and operates geothermal, solar photovoltaic, and recovered energy power plants, selling the generated power to utilities and other customers. Its Product Manufacturing segment designs and produces specialized equipment such as turbines, generators, and remote power units, and also offers EPC and O&M services. The Energy Storage Solutions segment provides engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance for energy storage systems, helping to integrate renewable energy into the grid. Ormat has a significant installed capacity, with over 1.8 GW of renewable power portfolio and has built more than 190 power plants globally. The company is committed to innovation and sustainability, continuously developing next-generation technologies like the Ormega100, a 100 MW binary unit. Financially, Ormat has demonstrated strong performance with revenues of about $990 million in recent years, although its market cap is around $6.6 billion. The company has a price-to-earnings ratio of 52, reflecting growth expectations, and pays a modest dividend. With a focus on clean energy, Ormat is well-positioned to benefit from the global transition to renewable energy. Leadership under CEO Doron Blachar, who has been in the role since July 2020, ensures strategic direction. The company's workforce of approximately 1,650 employees is dedicated to delivering reliable and environmentally sound power solutions. Ormat's long history and expertise in geothermal energy make it a pioneer in the industry, with a strong commitment to reducing carbon emissions and providing clean power around the clock.

Operator: Good morning, and welcome to the Ormat Technologies second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. All participants will be in listen-only mode. After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. If you would like to ask a question during this time, just press star followed by the number one on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, press star one again. Please note that this event is being recorded. I would like to turn the conference over to Josh Carroll with Alpha IR. Please go ahead.
Josh Carroll: Thank you, operator. Hosting the call today are Doron Blachar, Chief Executive Officer, Assi Ginzburg, Chief Financial Officer, and Smadar Lavi, Vice President of Investor Relations and ESG Planning Reporting. Before beginning, we would like to remind you that the information provided during this call may contain forward-looking statements relating to current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about future events that are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally relate to the company's plans, objectives, and expectations for future operations and are based on management's current estimates and projections, future results, or trends. Actual future results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of such risks and uncertainties, please see risk factors as described in Ormat Technologies' annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that are filed with the SEC.
