Thank you, Alison. Good morning and welcome to One Spa World's third quarter fiscal 2020 results conference call. As expected, our third quarter results reflected the significant impact to operations driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. As we mentioned last quarter, all of our health and wellness centers on cruise ships closed to passengers on March 14th. As of today, two health and wellness centers on cruise ships resumed operations. Our destination resort spas were closed since March 26, with 37 reopened as of today, albeit with capacity restrictions. During the quarter, we continued to focus on three priorities, namely ensuring the safety and well-being of our associates and staff, preserving liquidity, And thirdly, preparing for when our operations resume with strong innovation and active collaboration with our partners. As it relates to our first priority to keep our staff safe, I'm extremely appreciative of our cruise line and resort partners and each of our corporate employees for their efforts to ensure the safety of our shipboard and resort personnel. As a result of these efforts, as of quarter end, All but 29 cruise ship personnel were repatriated, and as of today, 39 cruise ship personnel have re-embarked on three vessels that commence sailing in the quarter. Moving to our second priority, liquidity. We remain intensely focused on tightly managing expenses and capital investment while continuing to pursue initiatives to ensure a strong performance at our health and wellness centers as voyages resume. We ended the quarter with $62.2 million in cash, including availability on our credit facility. We continue to believe we have the liquidity to sustain our operations with no significant voyages through December 2021. As it relates to our third priority, preparing for the resumption of operations, As many of you are aware, the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, lifted its no-sail order. At the same time, the CDC issued a framework for conditional sailing that is expected to lead to a phased return of cruise ship passenger voyages. We continue to expect limited sailings this year as our cruise line partners implement the three phases of the framework, including testing and implementing additional safeguards for crew members, conducting simulated voyages to test cruise operators' abilities to mitigate COVID-19 risk, and providing a certification to ships that meet specific requirements. We are working alongside our partners to ensure success during the simulated voyages and look forward to when passengers can embark on cruises again. Overall, we remain committed to investing our resources and collaborating with our cruise line partners in areas that we expect will add to our dominant market share in the operation of health and wellness centers at sea. We remain confident that the advantages of our business model and significant market share we possess has us poised to achieve a long-term performance objective as business conditions normalize. In keeping with this focus, we've expanded our management team to include Susan Barner as chief commercial officer. Susan joined our company in October and will lead our revenue and growth initiatives reporting to Glenn. And now I'd like to turn the call over to Glenn. Thank you.
