Thank you, Olivia. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining Park Dental Partners Fourth Quarter Earnings Call. Joining me today is our CFO, C.J. Bernander. First and foremost, I want to start off by recognizing our doctors and team members across the organization. Our people are our greatest asset. Every day in every practice, you show up with a shared commitment to deliver the best patient experience to every patient every time. That consistency is the foundation of our reputation, our performance and our ability to grow. I'm grateful for the professionalism and dedication that our teams bring to patients and to one another. Secondly, we're proud that the majority of our shares are held by our doctors and team members. In January, we launched our employee stock purchase plan, giving our doctors and team members another way to share in the value we create together. For those who may be newer to Park Dental Partners, I'd like to take a moment to briefly describe who we are and what makes us unique. We are a dental resource organization built for the long term. Our affiliated practices began serving patients in 1972. This year, 2026 marks our 54th year of combined operations. That longevity reflects a model that has endured over the decades because it's grounded in patient-centered care, a highly collaborative culture and operating discipline. Today, we provide a comprehensive set of business support services to our affiliated dental practices. Park Dental Partners teams handle things like administration, scheduling and billing, collections, facilities so that our doctors and team members can focus on what they do best, provide quality care to our patients. We are patient-centered in everything we do, which leads to high patient satisfaction and retention and ultimately drives long-term value for our shareholders. Importantly, our doctors…

Thanks, Pete. Good morning, everyone. As Pete mentioned, we had a great year with strong performance throughout. We remain confident in our ability to deliver consistent organic growth while also growing inorganically through a disciplined M&A strategy. For the fourth quarter, revenue was $61.2 million, representing 7.5% growth year-over-year. General practice revenue grew 6.2% to $44.7 million and multi-specialty practice revenue grew 11.3% to $16.5 million. Same practice revenue growth was 6.3% year-over-year, driven by increased patient visits, clinical hours, increased fee and reimbursement growth. For the full-year, revenue totaled $244.5 million, 6.4% growth year-over-year. General practice revenue grew 4.8% to $179 million. Specialty practice revenue grew 11% to $65.5 million and same practice revenue growth was 5.8% for the full-year. From a top line perspective, there's a few other details I'd like to highlight. First, multi-specialty revenue is growing at a faster rate than general dentistry and has been for a number of years. This is driven by our expansion of specialty services into the markets that we operate in and the smaller revenue base that we currently have for that part of the business. Outside of our expansion, we're also seeing increased patient demand for specialty services and expect demographic trends to continue to drive tailwinds for specialty dental services over the coming years. Secondly, we've added 3 practices in 2025. However, 2 of them had no material impact on the revenue in the year since they were deals that were completed on December 31. Thirdly, our clinical schedules operate on weekly staffing models. When comparing periods, there can be variances based on the number of days in operation. For 2025, we had 1 less working day than 2024. Normalizing for the number of operating days, revenue growth in 2025 would have been 6.9% on an apples-to-apples basis…

Thank you, CJ. Becoming a public company is a meaningful milestone, but we view it as the beginning of our next chapter, not the finish line. Since 1972, we've built an organization with deep roots, and we believe access to long-term capital will help position Park Dental Partners for the next 50 years of reinvestment and growth while staying true to our culture and our commitment to patients and clinicians. We're excited about the opportunities ahead and remain committed to creating long-term value for all of our stakeholders. Thank you for your support. With that, CJ and I are pleased to take your questions.

[Operator Instructions]. Our first question coming from the line of Mike Grondahl with Northland Capital Markets.

Maybe just the first question, Pete, if you could talk a little bit about that robust pipeline, maybe how it compares to 6 to 12 months ago?

Sure. Thank you, Mike. I would just say, as we look at our pipeline, you saw some of that yield coming late last year with a couple of closings and then right off the bat here in January with another one in Tucson. I would say good momentum coming into the year. Really looking forward to expanding in Arizona now that we've entered that market, got some great doctors, Dr. Holmes, Dr. Romero, looking forward to working with those teams to identify more opportunities for growth in Arizona beyond Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Can you remind us the team you have working on M&A and looking at these opportunities? How significant is that team?

Last year, actually brought back Jason Halupnick, who was with us. Jason leads that effort for us, and he's responsible for half of the deals that we've closed over time. Jason is supported by an analyst and our overall leadership team is deeply involved, including myself in driving that inorganic growth.

Then maybe lastly, if we looked at the sales cycle for these -- the 3 acquisitions you've done, the 2 at the end of '25 and the early '26. How would you describe the length of that sales cycle? Is it many months, a couple of months from when you maybe initially talk to them to when you can get a transaction done? How has that trended, the sales cycle?

Yes. It varies, as you can imagine, by the size of the transaction, how many owners might be involved. It could be a couple of months in some of the larger opportunities, you can imagine developing relationships for years in your pipeline.

Then maybe just lastly for me. The 3 acquisitions you've announced were single or 2-doc locations. How does the pipeline look from, I don't know, 6 docs or 5-plus doctors? Is there a couple of those or some of those in the pipeline, too?

Yes. I would say, as we described on our roadshow last year, there are different size opportunities, and we're continuing to pursue all of those categories.

Our next question coming from the line of Matt Hewitt with Craig-Hallum Capital Group.

CJ, congratulations on hosting your first quarterly update call as a public company. Maybe first up for me and sticking to the pipeline of opportunities. Could you remind us -- so when you go in and acquire a practice, maybe talk a little bit about how you're able to go in, implement some new efficiency programs and how long it typically takes before you're able to get those new practices up to company margins?

Matt, thanks for the question. This is CJ. Happy to answer it. Consistent with Pete's comments around the size and shape of certain acquisitions, I'd say it depends. We have practices we've acquired where we're achieving -- that are operating very efficiently and effectively, and we're hitting that run rate in 3 months. Then we have other ones that we may be investing in. As Pete said in the roadshow and subsequent to that, our strategy is to operate multi-doctor practices. In the instances and where you're seeing single doctor practice acquisitions, oftentimes, we're looking at how do we add that second doctor or that third doctor. That process does take a little bit of time. It could be 12 to 18 months before we're up to #2 or #3. It's going to depend on finding the right talent fit for that area. What we can confirm is that every deal that we do, we're excited about the opportunity for growing it into the future. I'd say that getting there is going to vary based on deal, but you can think of the quick ones being in that 0 to 3-month range and then some taking longer. We're also looking at how do we set the practice up for success in the long term by growing it out to be a multi-doctor practice.

Thank you for the update on the software. I find that really an interesting opportunity, quite frankly. The software platforms that you described, are those something that you will sell independent of even your own practices? If so, does that create an entry into potential practice acquisitions down the road where maybe you've gotten in with the software and they get comfortable with you and decide, boy, that would make sense for us to be part of the Park Dental platform.

Yes. Great question, Matt. We feel like our technology and software stack is best-in-class. It is a great I'd say, selling point for doctors to look at joining our organization because they're surrounded with the best tools that there are out there. Our goal with those is to allow our doctors and our team members to be efficient, to be effective, to practice at the top of their license. In doing so, we're focused internally right now on those tools and technologies to help drive our organization forward. We're not currently evaluating turning those external, but we do find a tremendous amount of value, both operationally in deploying them and then also as Pete and others are having those conversations from an M&A perspective, we feel like we can go in with our chin up around the tools and technology we surround our teams with and have great conversations with potential doctors.

I would think it's a big differentiator. Well, congratulations on your first quarterly update call, and we look forward to the future ones. Thank you.

There are no further questions. I will now turn the call back over to CJ. Bernander for any closing comments.

Thank you, and thanks, everyone, for attending our first quarterly earnings call. We do anticipate filing our first 10-K in mid- to late March. We appreciate your investment, your interest in our company and look forward to our next interaction with all of you. Have a great rest of your day. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference call. Thank you for your participation, and you may now disconnect.
