Operator: Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the UGI Corporation Q3 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Tameka Morris.
Tameka Morris: Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining our fiscal 2026 third quarter earnings call. With me today are Bob Flexon, President and CEO; and Sean O'Brien, CFO. On today's call, we will review our third quarter and year-to-date financial results, along with other key business highlights before concluding with a question-and-answer session. Before we begin, let me remind you that our comments today include certain forward-looking statements, which management believes to be reasonable as of today's date only. Actual results may differ significantly because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Please read our earnings release and our annual report for an extensive list of factors that could affect results. We assume no duty to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that are different from expectations. We will also describe our business using certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these measures to the comparable GAAP measures are available within our presentation. And now I'll turn the call over to Bob.
Robert Flexon: Thanks, Tameka, and good morning. Fiscal 2026 continues to be a year of disciplined execution against the strategic priorities we laid out at the start of the year. That focus is reflected in our financial performance, where solid operational results have absorbed the impact of portfolio actions, unfavorable weather and slower growth in our domestic propane business. On a year-to-date basis, UGI delivered reportable segment EBIT of $1.2 billion, modestly ahead of the prior year period. This improvement resulted from growth at our utilities, which more than offset roughly $40 million in year-over-year decline from the previously announced LPG divestitures and the effects of warmer weather across our LPG service territories. Importantly, the fundamentals of each of our businesses remain intact and the operational and financial progress we've made this year continues to strengthen the foundation of the company and support our long-term value creation strategy. Year-to-date, we directed approximately 76% of total capital expenditures to our natural gas businesses, advancing our commitment to pipeline safety, reliability and modernization while adding more than 8,500 new heating customers across our regulated utilities service territories. Of note, we completed our cast iron replacement commitment several months ahead of schedule, reflecting our continued focus on safety. On July 31, the administrative law judges recommended approval of UGI Utilities' joint petition for settlement of our gas rate case without modification. Pending approval by the Pennsylvania Public …
