Thank you very much. Good morning and welcome to Novanta's first quarter 2020 earnings conference call. I'm Ray Nash, corporate finance leader of Novanta. With me on today's call is our chief executive officer, Matthijs Glastra, and our chief financial officer, Robert Buckley. If you have not received a copy of our earnings press release issued today, you may have seen it from the investor relations section of our website at www.novanta.com. Please note this call is being webcast live and will be archived on our website shortly after the call. So before we begin, we need to remind everyone of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements that we've outlined in our earnings press release issued earlier today and also those in our SEC filings. We may make some comments today both in our prepared remarks and in our responses to questions that may include forward looking statements. These involve inherent assumptions with known and unknown risks and other factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from our current expectations. Any forward looking statements made today represent our views only as of this time. We just claim any obligation to update forward-looking statements in the future, even if our estimates change. So you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any time after this call. During this call, we will be referring to certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is available as an attachment to our earnings press release. To the extent that we use non-GAAP financial measures during this call that are not reconciled to GAAP measures in the earnings press release, we will provide reconciliations promptly on the investor relations section of our website after this call. I am now pleased to introduce the Chief Executive Officer of Noventa, Matthijs Glastra.
