Good morning and thank you for joining us. Today we reported solid top and bottom line growth versus the third quarter of 2025, driven by strong execution and sequential adjusted EBITDA margin improvement of nearly 100 basis points. For the third quarter, we delivered constant currency revenue growth of 4.4%, and Constant Currency adjusted EBITDA growth of 4% versus the same period last year. Sterigenics continued to perform well, generating 8.2% constant currency revenue growth and 57 basis points of segment income margin expansion, despite experiencing some softness in the med device market during the quarter, which has continued into the early part of Q4. Nelson Labs delivered another strong quarter, with revenue increasing 9.2% on a constant currency basis as the team continued to execute on complex projects to support our customers' regulatory needs. As expected, Nordion results reflected the timing of Cobalt 60 harvest schedules. The Nordion teams did a great job delivering critical Cobalt 60 shipments for their customers and expanded segment income margins by 71 basis points. Based on our year-to-date performance and our current visibility into the remainder of the year, we are reaffirming our constant currency revenue and adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2026. At Sotera Health, we work tirelessly to help ensure the safety and availability of healthcare products that millions of patients rely on every day. Before John reviews the financials in more detail, I want to provide some additional context around an example we shared on our second quarter call that highlights how our teams make a meaningful difference for customers and patients. As we've discussed previously, customers regularly turn to Nelson Labs when they face time-sensitive and complex challenges. During the second and third quarters, a customer of ours faced an urgent regulatory testing need involving a product used in a significant percentage of surgeries performed around the world. The Nelson Labs team quickly mobilized its scientific and technical expertise, completed the required testing on an accelerated timeline, and helped the customer maintain the availability of a critical healthcare product. While this was one project, the impact was far broader. By helping our customer address a time-sensitive challenge, our team played an important role in supporting tens of millions of patients who rely on these critical medical procedures. This is exactly what we mean when we talk about putting customers first and delivering on our mission of safeguarding global health. I will now hand it off to John, who will walk us through the financials.

Thank you, Alton. I'll begin with an overview of our consolidated financial results, followed by performance highlights from each of our business segments. I'll then review the balance sheet, cash generation, and capital allocation before concluding with an update on our 2026 outlook. On a consolidated total company basis, third quarter revenues increased 4.4% on both an as reported and constant currency basis to $325 million as compared to the third quarter of 2025. Net income on a gap basis for the quarter was $58 million or 20 cents per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA improved by 3.9% to $171 million or 4% on a constant currency basis. while adjusted EBITDA margins expanded sequentially by nearly 100 basis points to 52.5%. On a year-to-date basis, adjusted EBITDA margins were up 8 basis points. Interest expense for the third quarter was $34 million, a $5 million improvement versus the prior year period driven by our repricing actions and last year's $75 million term loan paydown. Adjusted EPS increased to $0.29 per diluted share, an improvement of 12% versus the prior year. Now let's review our segment performance. Sterigenics delivered revenue growth of 8.5% to $209 million, or 8.2% on a constant currency basis, driven by favorable pricing of 4.8%, increased volume and mix of 3.4%, and a foreign currency benefit of 30 basis points. Segment income increased 9.6% to $117 million, or 9.2% on a constant currency basis, reflecting continued operating leverage and strong execution. Segment income margin improved 57 basis points year over year to 56.1%. In Nelson Labs, revenue grew 8.8% to $61 million, or 9.2% on a constant currency basis. Growth was driven by a strong volume mix of 6.6% and favorable pricing of 2.6%, partially offset by a 40 basis point foreign currency headwind. Revenue growth exceeded expectations as we saw an increase in expert advisory services activity in the quarter. Nelson Labs segment income rose 2.5% to $19 million, or 3% on a constant currency basis. Segment income margin declined 199 basis points to 32.1%, driven primarily by business mix. Nordion's third quarter revenue was $55 million, down 12.4% or 11.5% on a constant currency basis. Favorable pricing of 2.2% was offset by a volume mix decline of 13.7% and a foreign currency headwind of 90 basis points. I would also like to mention that although Nordion's revenue was down for the quarter, it did come in ahead of our expectations driven by earlier than anticipated timing of certain shipments. Nordion's segment income decreased 11.4% to approximately $34 million or 10.4% on a constant currency basis. Margin performance remained strong with segment income margin improving 71 basis points versus Q3 2025 to 61.3% driven by operational productivity and favorable pricing. Turning to the balance sheet, cash generation and capital deployment. Year to date, we have generated $228 million in operating cash flow, including $111 million in Q3, demonstrating solid generation during the period. Capital expenditures totaled $145 million during the first nine months of the year. including $53 million in the third quarter, supporting Sterigenics capacity expansions and EO facility upgrades, Nordea and Cobalt 60 development initiatives, and the completion of a new state-of-the-art cleanroom at our Salt Lake City lab. We continue to make great progress strengthening our balance sheet. Net leverage improved to 2.9 times as of September 30th, 2026, within our long-term target range of two to three times. This progress was recognized with a credit rating upgrade from Moody's in early October. Now I'd like to turn to our 2026 full-year outlook. As Alton mentioned, we are maintaining our 2026 revenue outlook of 5.25% to 6.75% constant currency growth, with reported revenue in the range of $1.233 billion to $1.250 billion. We also remain confident in our full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook of 5.75% to 7.25% constant currency growth, with adjusted EBITDA in the range of $632 million to $641 million. These reported ranges incorporate an estimated 70 basis point foreign currency benefit for the full year, with foreign exchange anticipated to be a headwind of more than 100 basis points in the fourth quarter. We expect full-year consolidated adjusted EBITDA margins to be approximately flat versus last year, with anticipated margin expansion at Sterigenics and Nordion offsetting a reduction in Nelson Labs. Our outlook continues to assume total company pricing for 2026 to be within our long-term range, 3% to 4%. We continue to expect Sterigenics to deliver mid- to high-single-digit constant currency revenue growth in 2026. Reflecting recent softness we have seen in the med device market, fourth quarter constant currency revenue growth is anticipated to be approximately 6%. At Nordion, we now expect full-year constant currency revenue growth in the mid-single digits supported by a year-to-date performance and our demand expectations through year-end. At Nelson Labs, based on our year-to-date performance, we now expect full-year 2026 constant currency revenue growth in the low to mid-single digits. As we look to the fourth quarter, we expect growth to moderate from third quarter levels while continuing to benefit from the previously mentioned expert advisory services activity. We now project full-year segment income margins to be similar to year-to-date levels. Turning to several other assumptions underlying our outlook. Based on market rates, we are narrowing our 2026 interest expense outlook to a range of $137 million to $140 million. Our effective tax rate applicable to adjusted net income remains unchanged at 27 to 28 percent. We anticipate depreciation expense to increase in 2026 modestly above the increase experienced in 2025. On a weighted average basis, we continue to expect a fully diluted share count in the range of 289 million to 291 million shares. Taking these factors into account, We expect to remain on track to deliver adjusted EPS of 95 cents to a dollar and one cent for diluted share in 2026. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be in the 200 to $225 million range. We continue to expect net leverage ratio improvement compared to 2025. Finally, as usual, our outlook does not assume any M&A activity. I'll now turn the call back over to Alton.

Thank you, Jon. were pleased with our performance through the first three quarters of the year and remain focused on executing against our priorities. I continue to be impressed with our team's focus on delivering for our customers and the essential nature of our offerings across the company. With that, operator, let's open the line for questions.

Thank you, sir. To ask a question, you may press star, then one under touchtone phone. If you're using a speakerphone, Please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you'd like to withdraw your question, please press star then two. As a reminder, we please ask that you limit yourself to one question and a single follow-up. Please follow up with the company's investor relations if you have additional questions. At this time, we will just pause momentarily to assemble our roster. The first question we have will come from Son Dodds of BMO. Please go ahead. Yeah, thanks.

Good morning. Maybe just on the guidance, your range for EBITDA this year is a little wider going into Q4 than it has been historically. Is that Just a philosophical change is they have to do something with timing unknowns around Nordion, maybe just kind of wide the wider outlook. And then if you could just kind of walk us through what the bigger unknowns are at this point going into kind of late Q4.

Hey, Sean, thanks for the question. I'll have to go back and look. I'm pretty sure we haven't narrowed our EBITDA consistently over the years. I think it's a pretty typical range for us if you look over the last three to five years. and there are some, of course, moving pieces as we finish up the year here. So nothing's changed really that led to this.

Okay, and then maybe on Nordion, I know revenue was down because the timing around harvest, but if you can share just a little bit more detail on how you were able to improve margins there despite the lower revenue.

Yeah, no, thanks, Sean. You know, we had some good operational execution really in the quarter and year to date. We had a couple of things that we had to work through from last year that the team's been focused on just, you know, in the day-to-day execution of the operation. And we've managed to improve that and that really led to the performance. So really good work by the team to drive that.

Great. Thanks again for the time.

Thanks, Sean.

Operator, can you go ahead and move on to the next question, please? Yes, sir. We have Luke Sergott of Barclays.

Hey, guys. Thanks for the question here. I guess to start off, you guys talked about seeing some softness on the med advice side. Excuse me if I missed this. I've been jumping around between calls. But can you talk about the visibility and how that frames into your 4Q? But more importantly... What your customers are saying, like what the bookings or the orders, I know it's more short cycle, but like how you're thinking about this flowing through to 27?

Yeah, thanks for the question. I'll take that one. So high level, we performed well in Q3 and continue to have confidence in our full year outlook. and I'll call out really strong quarters from Sterigenics with the 8.2% constant currency growth and Nelson Labs with the 9.2% constant currency growth. As we look to Q4, we do expect some moderation in the Nelson Labs growth versus the 9.2% we delivered in Q3, but we do expect that business to grow in Q4. For Sterigenics, we remain confident in our full year outlook for the mid to high single digits of growth. But we did experience some softness at the end of Q3 and beginning of Q4 here. And based on what we're seeing in the business and what our customers are communicating to us, we are not expecting the sequential Q4 growth that we normally see in Sterigenics. And this really informed our guide.

Okay, and then I guess from as you think about that lack of sequential growth, is this like, I mean, look, it's a big question is just how this D cell keeps going through or if this is like, you know, are we going to bottom out here in the mid of 27 and pick up from there?

Yeah, I mean, we're obviously in the midst of our planning processes for 2027 now, and we'll communicate what we expect in 2027 during our Q4 earnings call here in February of 27. Obviously, we're staying very close to our customers and doing all we can to understand the kind of the reduction in optimism that they have communicated to us as we head here into Q4.

Okay, thank you.

Apologies for the delay before everyone. The next question will come from Evie Kozlowski of Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.

Great, thanks for taking my questions. So I wanted to start on Nelson Labs. I know you mentioned the one large customer in the quarter, I guess, and it sounds like a deceleration is expected next quarter. But maybe if you could help us quantify how much impact that was in 3Q and then what was sort of the underlying growth in that market.

Yeah, so for Nelson Labs, we're obviously pleased with the third quarter performance of the 9.2% constant currency growth. The team's doing a really nice job of serving their customers and really helping them out with critical testing and remediation needs. as you mentioned we do not expect a another quarter in Q4 of growth like we saw here in Q3 but we we do have a lot of confidence in that business as we move forward as as you know we increased our guide from low single digits to low to mid single digits and we did see some strength out of the EAS business here in Q3 and we do expect to see additional growth from that business in Q4 as well.

Okay, great. And then on the 4Q guide for Sterigenics, like understand the med device comments. I think that's something we've seen on a broad basis, but maybe if you could talk through some of the more idiosyncratic factors to like the x-ray facility coming online, the larger customer that was coming online in the back half, and how those should impact 4Q. And then also on pricing, that came in a bit above our expectations for the quarter. So maybe just talk through what's baked into that 6% for pricing in fourth quarter.

Sure. So again, pleased with our results in Q3 here, 8.2% constant currency growth, 120 basis points of sequential growth at the top line. So the team did a really nice job. We have benefited from the three factors we've discussed in the past with the favorable shutdown days, the and the outsourced customer that we have as well as the North Carolina X-ray facility. So those did contribute to our growth in Q3 and we expect them to contribute to the growth in Q4. I'll note that even though we're talking about a 6% constant currency growth in Q4, we are seeing relatively stable demand in this business. We mentioned that we're not seeing the sequential growth that we normally expect. We are seeing essentially a flat revenue performance in Q4 from Sterigenics versus Q3. Overall, while we have seen a little bit of softness here at the beginning of Q4, we've got a pretty stable environment right now and this is an incredibly resilient business. It has been over the years and We continue to see that here as we finish up the year.

Great. And then just pricing baked into that. Is it kind of still the upper end of the three to four percent or is there upside levers to that?

Yeah, I mean, pricing at Sterigenics has really been consistent, and it obviously reflects a number of factors. At the top of that list is the value that we deliver to our customers every day. We are at the higher end of that range, and we would expect to stay at the higher end of that range here in Q4 as well.

Thank you.

Next, we have Casey Woodring of J.P. Morgan.

Great. Thanks for taking my questions. Maybe just to follow up on some of the comments around MedDevice, you said that the softness started at some point in 3Q. Can we just get a sense of when in the quarter you started to see that? And then thoughts around the more recent performance that you called out in 4Q. Is there any sort of, I guess, We started seeing some of the softness mid to late Q3. Primarily, that softness came from our European customers.

That's been the primary impact that we saw at the end of Q3 and here at the beginning of Q4. Our guide includes what we're seeing in the marketplace and what we are hearing from our customers. And again, we are in Q4 sequentially. We're going to be flat to Q3. So we're not seeing anything really much more than a pretty stable demand environment here. And again, As we've gone and really gotten close to our customers here, essentially this is a reduction in some of their optimism for Q4. It's not uniform across any specific segment or any set of customers, but you bring all the data together and you've got this reduction in optimism. And we've included that in our guide and we're confident in our guide.

Got it. Understood. And then maybe just one more for me. Any just update on litigation in terms of number of plaintiffs in California and anything along those lines? Thank you.

Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, regarding litigation, we've got a strategy to defend the company and we are executing against that strategy. And I can give you and update on a couple of the key cases here. So in Georgia, we've got a deadline for an appellate decision in spring of 2027. In California, we've got our first trials are scheduled for January and April of 2027. And in Illinois, we've got all our cases are assigned to a single judge at this point and we're in the midst of pretrial proceedings.

Thank you. Next we have David Windley of Jefferies.

Hi, thanks for taking my question. I was wondering if you could comment on the progress of, you've referenced the large customer, the progress of the outsourcing decision and execution, and has that event, I'll call it, driven or catalyzed any additional conversations of the same ilk?

I'm assuming you're commenting on the one outsourced customer we've talked about previously. That's all on track. That's going well and that was a contributor to our growth in Q3 and will be a contributor to our growth in Q4. Our commercial team continues to do everything they can to build our commercial pipeline and within that commercial pipeline are a number of programs and products that would require customers to outsource. I don't have any specific updates for you around specific programs, projects, etc.

And can I ask on Nelson, with EAS having shown some strength for a couple of quarters running now, I think, and you're expecting again in the fourth quarter, how are you viewing the mix evolution in that business? in Nelson, to be clear, the mix in Nelson.

So just to clarify, we really saw strength in EAS here in Q3. We did not see strength in EAS in Q2. So some of that growth that we saw in Q2 was in our core lab testing. But yeah, we did see growth here and more growth associated with EAS in Q3 than we had previously. We do expect growth to be driven in some part by EAS in Q4 as well.

And how do you expect that to evolve?

So going forward, obviously, let me take a step back here. So we've got a project component to the Nelson Labs business. And within EAS, those tend to be higher concentration of project-based programs and opportunities. We don't expect long-term EAS to be a larger percentage of the business and have this be a consistent mixed shift towards EAS going forward.

Thank you. Next, we have Ryan Halstead of RBC. Please go ahead.

Morning, thanks for taking my questions. Sticking with Nelson Labs and following on the strength in that segment over the past few quarters being somewhat broad-based across the different business lines, can you just confirm, how are you viewing that business in the lens of cross-business unit selling? Do you kind of see this as opportunity to cross-sell and how are you executing on kind of your kind of refreshed strategy to really try to drive that XPU strategy?

Yeah, absolutely. So the cross-business unit opportunity is significant for our organization. We've got approximately 70% of our Sterigenics and Nelson Labs revenue comes from shared customers and we obviously need to focus on penetrating these accounts with our full offering. And Nelson Labs absolutely will benefit from this work. We would expect over time core lab testing to benefit from the work that we're doing across business unit. And we've got a number of initiatives in place now to drive this growth across the overall organization, which again, Nelson Labs will benefit from.

Great. And then turning to capital allocation, can you just confirm, are you on track to complete all the facility upgrade investment? And then just looking ahead, obviously you're now within your leverage range. How are you thinking about capital priorities into 2027?

Yeah, sure. So we are on track to complete all The EO facility enhancements will be completed here in Q1 2027, so the team's done a very nice job of that. We're also pleased with our progression of our balance sheet, so we're at 2.9 times net leverage today, and we're within our long-term target of 2 to 3 times. Our approach to capital deployment is ultimately driven by where we see the best opportunities to create long-term shareholder value, and we have not entirely changed our approach. We continue to prioritize the organic growth investments as well as strategic M&A opportunities where we can drive clear value with a focus on sterilization services. We'll continue to work with our board to evaluate the full range of other capital deployment opportunities, including share repurchase, debt pay down, et cetera. But ultimately, we're going to deploy this capital to the areas where we think we can optimize our long-term shareholder value.

Great.

Thank you. Next, we have Jason Benar of Piper Sandler.

Morning, everyone. A couple of follow ups here from us just on some topics that have been discussed this morning. So first, maybe the obligatory question on the med device topic. Alton, you mentioned, I think the softness is mostly tied to your European customer base. I hope I didn't hear that wrong. But have you seen any shifts in volume demand from your U.S. customer med device customer base or is that more stable? and then I just want to be clear that what you're seeing is specific to end market volumes in September that persisted here in the fourth quarter. It's not a function of channel destocking like one of your peers has been referencing with their business.

Yeah, thanks for the question. So again, we saw the softness starting in Q3 and extending here into Q4 and it is primarily in Europe. We're seeing the softness more in Europe than we are seeing here in the U.S. And when it comes to segments, again, I mentioned this before, but it's not uniform. So within our customer base, we're seeing variability across the segments and end markets. but overall the balance here is we are seeing an overall reduction in optimism from our customers in Q4 and I think that's pretty consistent to what we've seen from a number of the med tech companies who have announced their results over the course of the last few weeks and it's pretty in line with what we're seeing externally here.

Got it. And then a bit of a follow up on the prior question, Talk a little bit about your CapEx plans here. I think in the past you've referenced a significant or a meaningful step down in spending now that you're through a lot of these facility investments. You're rolling off some other big CapEx projects. As we think about the magnitude of inflection and cash flow next year, can you give us any guardrails to think about what this actually looks like? I think the street's modeling like a $50 million step down in CapEx. You know, is that a fair number? Would you have us any lower, any higher than that? Just trying to get a sense as we think about 27 cash flow.

Yeah. Hey, Jason, thanks. Good to appreciate the question. We definitely see a meaningful step down in CapEx next year. We're well on track to deliver the free cash flow objective that we laid out in Investor Day of $500 to $600 million of free cash flow over the period. you know one of the one of the moving pieces is just seeing exactly where we land this year and then finalizing our plans with the board on the different programs so we expect a meaningful step down it's a little premature for me to tell you exactly how much just given the uncertainty related to just closing out the year we feel good about the execution but you can always have a few moving pieces as we close out the year and then again finalizing the budget with the board all right understood thanks guys

Next, we have Michael Polark of Wolf Research.

Hi, good morning. On the topic of the software medical device, customer trend in stereogenics out of Europe heard, you know, we've heard labor strikes, war, government, budget tightness in Europe, and so we can corroborate that. But it sounds like you're not seeing or saying anything in the U.S. Are you bracing for, in the guidance for Sterigenics, bracing for any U.S. softness, or no, this modeling is contained to what you're hearing out of your European customers?

Thanks. We're seeing relative stability out of the U.S. at this time, and everything that we, again, are seeing from our data, we're seeing in the first month of the quarter, and what we're hearing from our customers is captured within our guide, and again, that 6% constant currency growth in Sterigenics translates to a relatively stable flat revenue from sequential from Q3 to Q4. Again, I'll just highlight the fact that over time the Sterigenics business and really Sotera Health overall has been incredibly resilient through different economic challenges. And we do see, again, some of this softening here in Q4, but overall, we feel like we've got a handle on it and the business remains very healthy and strong.

On expert advisory services, I'm recalling from a couple of years ago when growth was significant. If I'm recalling correctly, it was attributed at the time to... some regulatory actions that customers were dealing with, so recalls, remediation, stuff like that. That created tough comp, and now we've rebased and growing again. Is there a thematic behind the uptick that you would have us think about? Or no, it's a project-based business, and you kind of troughed out last year, and now you're growing off of that. Just any more color on what's driving the rebound there, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Sure. I mean, this is a project-based business and the team has done a really nice job of responding to the needs of our customers. And again, some of these projects did come into the business here in Q3 and we do expect additional business from these customers here in Q4 as well. I mean, we are very focused on having a durable business here in Nelson Labs and focused on ensuring that we have core lab growth within this business. We've had a number of initiatives in place including new commercial leadership within Nelson Labs to ensure that we are best in class commercially here and again got a lot of confidence in the team to drive durable growth in the business.

and we'll go ahead and proceed to Brett Fishpin of KeyBank.

Hey guys, good morning. Thank you so much for taking the questions. Sorry to beat a little bit of a dead horse here. Just had one more question on the med device comments. I wanted to ask if the slowdown or softness you're commenting on in Europe, is this very broad based across the customers or would you say it's more specific to a few different, you know, product areas or customers in Europe where you may have more concentration?

Yeah, this is more broad-based. Again, we can't say that it's happening with every customer that we have in Europe, but it's not limited to just a couple. So again, it's not uniform across specific segments, but overall when you add up the information that we have, the conversations we're having with the customers, the data that we're seeing, there is softness there overall in Europe.

All right, great. And then just one more question on the X-ray facility project, which I believe is now online. I was hoping you could just provide a little bit of an update on how the ramp has gone so far, and then how you're doing in just progressing towards filling more of the overall capacity on a longer-term basis there. Thank you so much.

Sure. So we continue to be optimistic with our investment here in the X-ray facility in North Carolina. We had a really strong Q3 We have seen a bit of softness here in Q4 in that facility. That said, we've got a very strong pipeline and we are confident that we're going to be able to continue to improve the utilization in that facility.

This will conclude our question and answer session. I would now like to turn the conference call back over to Mr. Alton Shader for any closing remarks. Sir?

Thanks, operator. So we delivered another quarter of solid financial performance, and I wanted to note that I've enjoyed being on the road and connecting with many of our shareholders, and I look forward to continued engagement in the coming months. As we move forward, we remain focused on delivering outstanding service, strengthening our customer partnerships, and delivering value for both our customers and the patients that they ultimately serve. Thanks for your continued interest in Sotera Health. Take care, everybody.

and we thank you, sir, and to the rest of the management team for your time also today. Again, the conference has now concluded. Thank you all for attending today's presentation. At this time, you may disconnect your lines. Thank you. Take care and have a great day, everyone.
