Finally, mid-market expansion.

As we delivered this quarter, we also are executing at speed on our talent strategy for the age of AI. We now have over 85,000 AI and data professionals already exceeding our goal of 80,000 professionals by the end of fiscal 2026. Thanks to our intentional talent strategy, we will hire more entry-level reinventors in FY '26 than FY '25, which is important for our financial model. Just as our clients must reinvent, so must Accenture. Our reinventors completed 13 million training hours this quarter alone, and 192,000 completed our Agentic AI fundamentals program, co-created with Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI. After significant investment in training starting this year, we have made the use of the AI tools and contributions to helping Accenture become the most AI-enabled company in the world, now a formal part of our performance evaluation.

Please check out these recognitions in our earnings presentation for the quarter. Over to you, Angie. Angie Park: Thank you, Julie, and thanks to all of you for joining us on tod”
