ESCO Technologies Inc.

Good day and welcome to the ESCO Q2 conference call. Today's call is being recorded. With us today are Vic Ricci, Chairman and CEO, Gary Munster, who is retiring as Vice President and CFO, and Chris Tucker, Senior Vice President and CFO. And now, to present the forward-looking statement, I would like to turn the call over to Kate Lowry, Director of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Statements made during this call regarding the timing of recovery and growth of our end markets, the amounts and timing of 2021 and beyond revenues, COVID impacts and recovery expected as a result of COVID vaccines, recovery in commercial aerospace, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, cash, shareholder value, the timing of Block 5 deliveries, success in completing additional acquisitions, and other statements which are not strictly historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist in the company's operations and business environment, including, but not limited to, the risk factors referenced in the company's press release issued today, which will be included as an exhibit to the company's Form 8K to be filed. We undertake no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. In addition, during this call, the company may discuss some non-GAAP financial measures in describing the company's operating results. A reconciliation of these measures to their most comparable GAAP measures can be found in the press release issued today and found on the company's website at www.escotechnologies.com under the link Investor Relations. Now I'll turn the call over to Vic.

Thanks, Kate. As you saw in the press release, we do have some management changes here, which we've been working on for some time. So you'll be hearing from Chris in a few minutes. In addition to that, we've got Dave Schatz here with us, who recently replaced Allison as our general counsel. So before we get into the details of the quarter, I'd like to start off by introducing and welcoming Chris Tucker, who joined us a few weeks ago as a newest member of our executive management team. Chris will be serving as senior vice president and chief financial officer, replacing Kerry, who previously announced his retirement. Chris comes to this from Emerson, where he served in numerous financial leadership roles with increasing responsibilities over the years. He also led their investor relations group for several years. I'll turn it over to Chris to give you a little more background on his experience. Chris?
