If you need assistance, please signal conference specialists by pressing the star key followed by zero. After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. Please note that this event is being recorded. I'd now like to turn the conference over to Mr. John Barry, Chairman and CEO.

Please go ahead. Thank you very much, Nick. Joining me on the call today are, as usual, Greer Isaac, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and Kristen Van Dask, our Chief Financial Officer.
