Thank you, Blake, and thank you, everyone, for participating on today's call. We are pleased to report another year of strong performance for 2025, our record revenues of $984 million reflect the strength across our businesses and our consistent ability to gain market share and capitalize on demand for our differentiated offerings. These results are a testament to the dedication of our team and the durability of the competitive advantages we have built over many years. Our single family residential business delivered yet another record year with revenues growing to an all-time high of $403 million. Growth was driven by our expanding dealer network, geographic diversification into new markets, a strong pricing execution, and the momentum in our vinyl product line. Our multifamily and commercial businesses was similarly strong with revenues growing to $580 million on robust demand for our high-performance products in high-end residential and luxury lodging projects. From an operational standpoint, I am particularly proud of our team's ability to maintain our industry-leading margin profile through a unique challenging year. This reflects our consistent pricing discipline and significant cost control measures. These actions more than offset the impact of tariffs and increased raw material costs supporting a stable gross margin for the year. We also continue to ramp up our vinyl windows product portfolio and diversified our manufacturing footprint through the Continental Glass System acquisition, both of which help us expand our presence into different markets and diversify our operational platform. This robust operational performance, along with our disciplined working capital management translated directly into strong cash generation. Cash flow from operations of $136 million for the full year allowed us to return substantial value to our shareholders through dividends and our share repurchase program. To that end, we repurchased $118 million in shares during the year, including $88 million in the fourth quarter alone. We announced today the Board has expanded our share repurchase authorization by $100 million, reflecting the confidence in our continued cash flow generation capabilities, the strength of our balance sheet and our commitment to delivering superior returns to shareholders. In summary, 2025 was a year that demonstrated the durability and adaptability of our business model. We grew revenue to nearly $1 billion, maintained our gross margin profile in the face of significant external headwinds, diversified our manufacturing and product platform and returned substantial capital to shareholders. Our performance, along with our record backlog positions us well for another year of record revenue and value creation in 2026. I will now turn the call over to Chris to provide additional operating highlights.

Thank you, Jose Manuel. Moving to Slide #5 and 6. We maintain a sharp focus on operational execution throughout 2025. Our overall performance through a dynamic macroeconomic environment reflects the durability of our differentiated platform and the dedication of our team to delivering best-in-class products and service to our customers. In 2025, we delivered double-digit revenue growth in our multifamily and commercial business driven by continued strong performance in our key markets and incremental contribution from our Continental Glass System asset acquisition completed at the beginning of the year. Continental continues to integrate smoothly into our operation, enhancing our capabilities in high-end architectural glass and glazing while providing us with a diversified manufacturing presence in Florida. Activity remains healthy across our commercial markets, given our expansion into new markets and ability to gain market share, which is reflected in our double-digit revenue growth expectations for 2026. The strength of our activity is also reflected directly in yet another backlog record number, which closed the year up 16% to a record $1.3 billion. Our book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x in the fourth quarter extended our track record to 20 consecutive quarters above 1.1x. Our project cancellation rate is near 0 given our late-stage installation profile and our backlog has demonstrated consistent sequential growth every quarter since 2021. I will also reiterate a key point that the composition of our backlog has shifted more towards high-end, large-sized projects recently, which tend to be less sensitive to higher interest rates and overall affordability constraints. Moving to Slide #7. Our single-family residential business achieved record full year revenues of $403 million compared to $372 million in 2024. The year-over-year improvement reflects dealership growth, geographic expansion and ongoing contributions from our vinyl products. Despite challenging macro conditions, we were encouraged to see orders received during the…

Thank you, Christian. Turning to the drivers of revenue on Slide #10. Total revenues for the fourth quarter increased 2.4% year-over-year to $245.3 million. The growth was driven by positive momentum in our multifamily and commercial business. This was partially offset by a modest decline in single-family residential, which saw pricing and share gains that we had a very challenging prior year comparison. Full year revenues increased 10.5% to a record $983.6 million. The full year growth came from both our multifamily and commercial and single-family residential businesses, reflecting strong execution on our record backlog, healthy conditions in our core Southeast high-end commercial portfolio, geographic expansion and continued traction in our vinyl product line. Looking at the profit drivers on Slide #11. Full year adjusted EBITDA reached $291.3 million, representing a margin of 29.6% compared to 31% in the prior year. On a full year basis, gross margin increased slightly to 42.8% compared to 42.7% in the prior year. The essentially stable full year gross margin despite challenging macroeconomic factors during the second half reflects stronger pricing and operating leverage that more than offset the impact of tariffs and higher raw material costs, a strengthening Colombian peso and higher salary expenses throughout the year. Full year SG&A as a percentage of revenue was approximately 20% compared to 17.2% in the prior year, mainly due to the tariffs paid during 2025, which increased our selling expenses year-over-year. Full year performance was stronger in the first half given different macro headwinds that started toward the middle of the year. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2025 was $62.2 million, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.4% compared to $79.2 million or 33.1% in the prior year quarter. Consistent with the dynamics we highlighted on our last earnings call, the fourth quarter…

[Operator Instructions] And the first question today will come from Sam Darkatsh with Raymond James.

So I'm just going to ask some clarification or quantification questions, Santiago. Apologies for this. You mentioned that the first quarter was softer. Can you give us a sense, generally speaking, of sales, gross margin, EBITDA type of thing that we should be expecting for the first quarter, knowing that 2/3 of it is done at this point?

More or less in line with Q4. That's what we would expect. Remember that in Q1, you also have a couple of weeks of scheduled maintenance shutdown. So you have a shorter quarter in line with Q4 when we shut down at the end of the year. So it would be more or less in line with that.

Got you. And then within the '26 framework at the low end and the high end, what are your expectations for gross margins, general and administrative and then also tariffs?

On tariffs, just the ongoing tariffs on stand-alone product, we continue to supply aluminum from the U.S. by being able to mitigate that impact. On the gross margin from the low to the high end, you have a 200 basis points of difference, from high 30s to low 40s, depending on where we are. And obviously, the main impact would be the input cost as it relates to raw materials, the FX. As you saw in the presentation, we are providing different scenarios that outline what the assumptions would be on either case. SG&A, we expect it to go down in terms of percentage of our sales based on the fact that we will not incur aluminum tariffs as we did in 2025. But obviously, on a nominal basis, when we're growing 11% at the midpoint, you have some variable expenses related to transportation and commissions and salary adjustments that increase the nominal base. But as a percentage of sales, the idea is that we should be slightly lower.

The next question will come from Rohit Seth with B. Riley.

Santiago, can you talk a little bit about the pricing actions that you have not yet implemented? What products are on? And when do you expect to put those price levels out?

Well, this is Jose Manuel. We have to wait and see the reaction of the total market in order to raise our prices. We would like to raise the prices. Obviously, we have done it in all the new jobs, but in residential, our competition is struggling. So they have not raised their prices in order to gain market share, and we have not raised them not to let them take the market that we do have. So we'll have to wait and see.

Okay. And just a follow-up on the vinyl and your new product lines. Can you just quantify how much of the new product lines you achieved in 2025 and what you're expecting to see in 2026?

Our base case shows that we ended up with vinyl roughly around $10 million for the year. We expect that to increase at least 2.5, 3x for 2026. We feel that there is upside to that base case and the cadence of sales will dictate how much we're able to ramp that up at the end of the year. As we had discussed in previous calls, the main issue was not having the full availability of the products, which we feel good about at this point in time. The dealer base has increased over 20% year-over-year. A lot of that is vinyl dealers. So in essence, the seed has been planted to execute and grow that a few times over year-over-year.

Understood. And so the certification of those products is done. You have the full product line set up and ready to go?

Yes, that is the case. It's just a matter of executing on sales now.

The next question will come from Tim Wojs with Baird.

Maybe just kind of first question. I guess, would you expect to see the U.S. commercial revenue accelerate in '26? I think it grew 11% in '25, but your backlog has clearly been up more than that over the past few years. So should we start to see those growth rates emerge as that backlog starts to convert in a bigger way in '26?

Yes, sir. Commercial is going to grow in '26 and '27 because not only we have a big backlog in Florida mostly, but we are expanding our reach into other markets by our installer GM&P. So we expect to -- the commercial side to keep growing at a very big pace, double digits or more.

Okay. And I guess when you're -- if you're thinking about kind of the backlog and the pipeline, I mean, has anything -- I know the market is choppy, but has anything changed there? I mean, do you guys still expect to see some pretty good backlog growth in '26 as well?

Yes. Yes, for sure. We see a lot of commercial activity in the Northeast that wasn't seen before. And now we are landing jobs in Texas, Utah, Colorado, and we expect with our new brand in California to get a lot of traction there, too.

Okay. Okay. Great. And then Santiago, just what is the residential assumption for revenue at the midpoint of the guide? I think they did, what, $403 million this year?

We ended up $403 million. What we're expecting is on the kind of legacy Florida business to be up low single digits. And then the rest of the growth coming from vinyl and non-Florida opportunities. And we expect that, obviously, altogether to equate to a double-digit growth year-over-year as well. So both segments, we are projecting to grow double digits and on the resi side, coming more from geographical expansion in vinyl.

The next question will come from Julio Romero with Sidoti & Company.

Thanks for the vinyl breakout earlier of about $10 million in '25. I think you said about 2.5 to 3x of that expected in '26. Kind of same question, but for the showrooms, your 5 showrooms, soon to be 6 in the first quarter. Just help us level set the contribution there. And is that separate from the vinyl contribution expected? How would you have us think about that?

Yes, yes, because the showrooms not only have the new vinyl lines, but they have the new legacy line and many new products that we are -- we developed last year, like, for example, the garage door. We have a garage door now, but it was only for impact, hurricane impact in Florida. Now we developed the garage door nationwide, and we expect that to ramp up a lot. And also we have a new few doors and windows that have had, I mean, tremendous success with our clients. They love it. And I think we're going to grow double digits, but we hope it's going to be a lot in the high double digits.

And I guess just to rephrase that a little bit, I guess I'm just asking how much incremental aside from the $10 million in vinyl came from the showrooms in '25 and how much kind of separate from that is '26 that doesn't overlap?

On the showrooms, remember that, that's both commercial and residential, right? So if we wanted to kind of break that out on the resi side for the showroom revenues, we ended up at about $10 million, and we're expecting to do $30 million to $35 million this year. So again, that segment of the business in line with the answer to Tim's question earlier is what is going to drive the single-family residential growth. Both vinyl and non-Florida resi are expected to grow 2.5, 3x this year.

Very helpful. And I guess you also mentioned that on the new plant that you're evaluating, you're also looking at new opportunities such as Buy America projects and a quick turnaround. I was just hoping you could dive into that a little bit for us.

Well, we are in the stage. This is Christian. We are going to be testing the new technology in Colombia first and make sure that we can reach a level of automation enough, so we require the least amount of people to work. I mean we don't want to have another place with 9,000 employees. We want to have 1,500 or the most 2,000 and be able to first deliver faster, also make about the same amount of money because there will be some savings on transportation and the tariffs and all that. And it will be to have also a good thing to have in the states. But obviously, this is not going to take care -- take place this year because we're going to be testing at the end of the year, all the technology. So it will be a decision that we'll make by February or March of next year of what to build in the U.S. and how to build it. We are close to buying the land. But it's also important for us to -- I mean, to our products to be Buy American. And another thing is that regardless of the product being manufactured in Colombia, almost all raw materials come from the U.S. So we are a Buy American company anyways.

Yes, absolutely. And I think maybe just to look at Christian, for another angle is just when I hear Buy America projects, I think about like federally funded infrastructure projects or something of that nature. So could your window products potentially participate in projects such as those?

Well, they used to be able to participate with the free trade agreement that we had in place because all the materials were manufactured in the U.S., but not anymore. So with the new plant, if we build it next year, that will be an advantage that we will have to be able to do federal buildings, too. So we're trying to keep growing and our idea is to double our sales in the next 3 to 5 years. And you know that we don't -- we're not doing this only for the money, but because it's our life, and we love what we do. And we've been doing it for over 40 years. So this is the way to go.

The next question will come from Jean Veliz with D.A. Davidson.

I apologize perhaps repeating some of the things you mentioned. But could you just kind of like walk me through with some of the cadence of the nonresidential -- the commercial and single-family kind of work that you'll be doing through first half and then second half compared with 2025. I guess what I'm getting to is I'm wondering, is there -- as you're expanding into Northern Florida and some of perhaps dynamic changes that it's occurring in your commercial side, is that influencing how you move to the backlog?

So let me rephrase and make sure I'm getting your question right. In terms of cadence of revenues, the way that we're projecting this is that each sequential quarter is going to be incremental revenues as we move through the year. As we said earlier, the first quarter is expected to be kind of more or less in line with Q4. And then sequentially, both because of the backlog visibility that we have and the geographical penetration and the vinyl ramp-up, we're expecting revenues both in the single-family residential and the commercial segments to go higher as we move through the year. So it's going to be backloaded based on those assumptions.

Okay. Appreciate that. And then just thinking about the impact of aluminum, is that under your assumption, does that alleviate then in the second half? Or is there a sequential taper coming off your 1Q guidance?

No. I mean if you look at the presentation that we put together and what we discussed here is that there's 2 scenarios. On the downside, we're assuming stable pricing in line with what you saw at the end of last year, which is kind of more or less what we're seeing today. If you're looking at the upside, we're assuming that aluminum prices taper off and we get a benefit in the second half of the year because as of now, we're almost 2 months into this and aluminum prices remain elevated.

Makes sense. And just on the vinyl, is there a space for a bigger upside as you have more and more products available, and you mentioned that there is better bundles that you -- and better opportunities when you sell these different products that have vinyl in them. Can we look -- is the 3x -- yes, is the 3x just the top? Or is there more of an upside that you could grow from there on that vinyl?

3x is the minimum we expect. We are very conservative on that side. If everything falls into place, we expect to do -- let's assume that this year, we were selling around $1 million a month. We expect from the second half of the year to do 5x, $5 million a month. And we believe that we're going to do -- that's going to ramp up next year to do at least $10 million. That's what we expect. But we'll have to see. But $30 million is a conservative estimate.

This concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Mr. Jose Manuel Daes for any closing remarks.

Well, thank you, everyone, for participating on today's call. And in spite of all that is happening in the market, in spite of the tariffs, in spite of the aluminum going up, in spite of the devaluation of the dollar, we have done very well. The company is going to keep striving. We have a lot of plans of growth for '26, '27 and '28. And we're going to make our clients happy and our investors more than happy. Thank you.

The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
