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 carried the full weight of the cost headwinds and stronger local currency that intensified through the second half of the year. Fourth quarter gross margin was 40% compared to 44.5% gross margin in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year change in gross margin was driven by 3 key factors: first, an unfavorable revenue mix with a higher proportion of installation revenues, which reached a record high during the fourth quarter; second, near all-time high U.S. aluminum costs, which continued their steep climb throughout the fourth quarter and significantly impacted our raw material costs; and third, a significant revaluation of the Colombian peso, which strengthened approximately 9.5% year-over-year in the quarter, creating an unfavorable effect on our margins. These headwinds were partially offset by stronger pricing flowing through from the adjustments we implemented earlier in the year. SG&A for the fourth quarter was 21.8% of revenue compared to 16.4% of revenue in the prior year quarter. The increase primarily reflected aluminum and reciprocal tariff expenses on stand-alone component sales, higher personnel expense from annual salary adjustments and stronger Colombian peso during the period and higher transportation and commission expenses associated with revenue growth. We provide a closer look at the primary headwinds that impacted our margins in the second half of 2025 on Slide #12, namely aluminum and FX, which continued to move sharply following our last earnings call. With respect to aluminum, it is important to distinguish between the 2 separate dynamics. The $25 million tariff impact we communicated earlier in the year was fully offset through our pricing actions. The more significant headwind was the sharp escalation in underlying aluminum cost independent of tariffs. Global aluminum spot rates spiked higher. And on top of that, U.S. Midwest aluminum premiums more than doubled during the year, creating industry-wide margin pressure that accelerated materially in the second half of the year. Separately, we faced aluminum and reciprocal tariffs on stand-alone component sales, which we have proactively addressed through targeted mitigation actions, including pass-through pricing on standalone glass and aluminum products and securing U.S. aluminum supply to mitigate tariff headwinds. As cost mitigation offsets our pricing adjustments implemented earlier in the year partially offset a portion of the higher aluminum cost in the fourth quarter. Looking ahead, our continued expansion into vinyl windows and eventual normalization of input costs or potential future pricing adjustments to reduce the impact of aluminum cost as a percentage of sales over time. We continue to evaluate incremental pricing actions as warranted by market conditions, but have not embedded this assumption within our guidance scenarios and could represent potential upside to our outlook. Looking at foreign exchange dynamics, the Colombian peso appreciated approximately 12% during full year 2025, moving from COP 4,308 to COP 3,791 per dollar. Given the approximately 20% to 25% of our costs are peso denominated, this appreciation made our Colombian cost base more expensive and pressure margins, compounded by salary adjustments in Colombia during the year. To partially mitigate this exposure, we hedged a portion of our Colombian peso exposure during 2025 and will continue to be opportunistic in executing hedges in 2026 above our current guidance assumptions, creating potential upside to guidance. Now examining our strong cash flow and balance sheet on Slide #13. We generated $135.8 million in operating cash flow for the full year 2025, driven by effective working capital management and solid underlying profitability. Capital expenditures of $89 million included scheduled payments on previous investments as well as expenditures related to the Continental Glass Systems acquisition. Our balance sheet remains solid with liquidity of approximately $465 million at year-end, including a cash position of approximately $100.9 million and $365 million of availability under our revolving credit facility and bilateral lines of credit. In September, we refinanced our senior secured credit facility, expanding capacity to $500 million, reducing spreads by 25 basis points and extending the maturity to 2030. We have no significant debt maturities until year-end 2030. With net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA of 0.24x, we maintain a conservative leverage profile that provides significant financial flexibility to continue investing in growth initiatives and returning capital to shareholders. On Slide #14, our strong track record of generating returns above the broader industry continues to validate our disciplined capital allocation approach. Over the past 3 years, our strategic investments in operational excellence and capacity expansion have consistently delivered superior returns for our shareholders, driven by our industry-leading profitability, vertically integrated platform and significant improvements to working capital. These strengths continue to generate sustainable cash flow and shareholder value while preserving financial flexibility to pursue additional growth opportunities. We're also pleased to have returned substantial capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends during the year. During 2025, we repurchased $118 million in shares, including $87.6 million in the fourth quarter alone, partially funding that activity through a draw on our revolving credit facility, reflecting our conviction in the intrinsic value of the business. In total, we returned approximately $146 million to shareholders through repurchases and dividends. Given the Board's confidence in our continued cash flow generation capabilities, prudent balance sheet management and commitment to delivering superior returns to shareholders, they approved an expansion on our share repurchase authorization to $250 million in total, resulting in approximately $110 million of remaining repurchasing power. In addition to the expansion of the buyback program, our Board also approved the redomiciliation of the company from the Cayman Islands into the U.S.. Subject to shareholder approval, which will be sought within the next couple of months, the company would now be both headquartered and domiciled in the U.S., continuing our long-term strategy to become even more U.S.-centric as we become a larger company with a complete nationwide footprint. The redomicile into the U.S. will help us achieve tax efficiencies from a corporate level perspective as well as to facilitate dividend distributions to shareholders. Now moving to our outlook on Slide 16. Our full year 2025 performance demonstrated the strength of our business in a toughening macro environment into year-end that has continued into early 2026. Based on the visibility provided by our residential order book and multiyear backlog, we are introducing our full year 2026 outlook for revenues to be in the range of $1.06 billion to $1.13 billion, representing growth of approximately 11% at the midpoint of the range. Additionally, we're introducing our adjusted EBITDA outlook in the range of $265 million to $305 million. Our high-end outlook assumes continued downward trends in interest rates benefiting mortgage rates and improved affordability, a more favorable interest rate environment supporting a broader acceleration in project invoicing. The high-end outlook assumes continued market share gains and strong execution in new geographies and vinyl as well as full backlog execution without significant project delays. At the top end, we expect aluminum input costs to soften approximately 10% by the middle of the year versus year-end 2025 levels and the Colombian peso to trend toward COP 4,000 per dollar, which is essentially stable year-over-year. The top of the range also assumes annual salary adjustments in Colombia that are offset by favorable operating leverage and efficiency gains. The low end of our range contemplates a more challenging environment in which the Fed does not cut rates during the year, constraining residential invoicing momentum with high single-digit revenue growth driven primarily by backlog execution, market share gains and flattish single-family revenues. Under this scenario, we also assume a more gradual expansion in new geographies and vinyl and potential timing shift in certain commercial projects into 2027. The low scenario further assumes stable aluminum input costs versus year-end 2025 and the Colombian peso remaining below COL 3,800 per dollar with annual salary adjustments in Colombia not being fully offset by operating leverage. As mentioned earlier, our guidance range establishes a baseline that excludes several potential upside levers. Specifically, our outlook does not factor in additional pricing actions or opportunistic hedging strategies that we are actively evaluating to further protect margins. From a seasonal perspective, we expect the first quarter of the year to be softer as some of the aforementioned headwinds remain in place currently and the level of orders started picking up earlier this year with actual invoicing expected to take place within the second quarter and beyond. Both assumptions also bake in an incremental amount of installation revenue, in line with our previous discussions around the shift in backlog composition geared to larger projects in which we do both supply the windows and perform installation. Under both scenarios, we expect another year of strong free cash flow generation. Working capital should continue to be a source of cash as we further penetrate residential markets, though this will be partially offset by longer cash conversion cycles in our growing installation business. Capital expenditures are projected to be in the range of $60 million to $75 million, which includes maintenance CapEx at approximately 1% of revenues and the remainder for planned investments in efficiency initiatives. As previously disclosed, in 2025, we initiated a feasibility study for a new state-of-the-art largely automated facility in the U.S. If we decide to move forward with the project and the diligence process is completely favorably, our 2026 investment related to this would be limited to an estimated of $20 million to $25 million for the land acquisition only. This potential land purchase is not included in our current 2026 capital expenditure guidance and remains subject to a final investment decision and the ongoing assessment of demand trends and overall market conditions. Beyond the land purchase, we do not expect significant additional capital deployment on this initiative in 2026 as we complete equipment testing and continue to monitor demand trends. In conclusion, our fourth quarter and full year 2025 results demonstrate our ability to deliver strong results in a dynamic environment. We are leveraging our competitive advantages, including our vertically integrated manufacturing platform, our expanding geographic footprint and our diversified and growing product portfolio to gain share and drive long-term value for our shareholders. With a record backlog, a growing national presence in single-family residential, a strengthened balance sheet and multiple growth initiatives advancing, we entered 2026 with strong momentum. These advantages are structural and durable. Our share gains and geographic expansion are on track, and we remain confident in our ability to continue outperforming the market for years to come. With that, we will be happy to answer your questions. Operator, please open the line for questions.
