Fiscal 26 was a strong year as our differentiated position in the market was reflected in solid sales and operational execution, helping to drive 12.2% recurring and other revenue growth and 11.0% total revenue growth. Our durable growth was driven by the continued expansion of average revenue per client and a roughly 7% increase in our client base – while also increasing profitability across our organization. As we continue to expand our product suite, a critical component of our strategy is driven by the launch of Ignite AI, which is designed to help accelerate productivity for HR, Finance, and IT teams across companies of all sizes and industries. Our approach to AI remains focused on driving value for our clients - Ignite AI is woven directly into core workflows to help clients complete tasks faster and surface insights more quickly. In Fiscal 26 we continued to expand our product suite with the acquisition of Grayscale, which expands our recruiting capabilities with AI-powered automation that helps employers engage with candidates earlier and faster, and the announcement of Paylocity Retirement, which helps employers reduce manual work and provide their employees easier access to their retirement savings. Additionally, we launched Elevate Solutions, which pairs our unified platform with dedicated payroll and HR teams who work directly with clients to lighten their administrative workload, allowing them to focus more time on strategic priorities. We also continue to return capital to shareholders by repurchasing $398.1 million or approximately 2.8 million shares of our stock in Fiscal 26. I would also like to thank all of our employees for their efforts supporting our clients, and congratulate our teams for another successful year.
