Thank you, Operator, and good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to BJA's Restaurants Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Industrial Conference Call and Webcast.

We also have Kevin Mayer, our Chief Marketing Officer, on hand for Q&A. After the market closed today, we released our financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, which ended on Tuesday, June 30th.

Our agenda today will start with Ronna Sharma, our Director of SEC Reporting, providing our standard cautionary disclosure with respect to forward-looking statements. And I'll then provide an update on our business and current initiatives, and then Greg Levin will provide some commentary on the quarter and the current environment. After that, we'll open it up to questions, and we expect to finish the call in about an hour. So, Ronna, go ahead, please.
