And welcome to our fourth quarter and full year 2025 call. We are very pleased and proud to report that 2025 was an outstanding year for HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. With meaningful progress in all aspects of our business, and a particularly strong finish in the fourth quarter, with a higher volume of transactions closed than in any previous full year. Level of client development activity remains elevated, and the demand for project-level capital is extremely strong, creating continued tailwinds for our business, as evidenced by both our 2025 results and our outlook for the next several years. Our climate clients asset strategy continues to thrive as we execute on closing attractive climate-positive investments with programmatic clients supported by project cash flows from high quality offtakers. Turning to slide three. Not only was 2025 the strongest year of results we have ever recorded, on virtually every metric used to monitor and assess our performance, but the underlying fundamentals of the business have been enhanced establishing pathways to future continued success. Notably, nearly every facet of our business is operating at a high level right now, including new investment volumes, returns, profitability, and capital efficiency. These higher volumes are supported by a new paradigm of load growth in the United States, rising demand for third-party providers of permanent capital, and HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc.'s competitive advantage. We closed $4,300,000,000 in new transactions in 2025, 87% more than 2024. Our pipeline has continued to grow from more than $5,500,000,000 at the end of Q1 to more than $6,500,000,000 at the end of 2025. Not only have our investment volumes scaled meaningfully larger, we are also increasing returns on these investments. For the second year in a row, yield on new investments has exceeded 10.5%. Meanwhile, our bond spreads continue to narrow, and our senior unsecured term bonds are trading with a yield below 6.25% today. These attractive margins have been a key factor in driving adjusted EPS growth, which was 10.2% in 2025. We have also made significant strides enhancing our business model and capital efficiency. In 2025, we issued our inaugural junior subordinated hybrid notes. With access to this new segment of the bond market, along with our investment grade ratings, and our CCH 1 co-investment vehicle with KKR, we have become significantly more profitable with each new share. We are issuing fewer shares to grow our business. It is also noteworthy that we upsized CCH 1's equity commitments by $1,000,000,000 in the fourth quarter. This combination of 1) large volumes, 2) increasing profitability, and 3) improved capital efficiency have combined to push our 2025 ROE above 13% and our incremental ROE above 19%. The next few pages, I will further expand the discussion of these three items. Turning to slide four, I want to particularly highlight the enormous year we had in closing new investments in 2025. Of course, the $1,200,000,000 investment in the Sun
