Dan Bartok
Chief Executive Officer, Four Star

Thank you, Jessica. Good afternoon, everyone. In addition to Jessica, I am pleased to be joined on this call by Colin Dawson, D.R. Horton's Vice President of Corporate Finance and Treasurer, who works closely with Jessica and me on Four Star's finance and investor relations efforts. Our team delivered a solid first quarter and made significant progress towards executing on our plans for fiscal 2020. We will discuss these results in detail, but first I'd like to remind everyone about Four Star's unique business model and how it differentiates our company in the marketplace. Unlike other land developers, we bring a production-oriented, returns-focused manufacturing mindset to the land development process. We are focused on short-duration, fully entitled residential lot development. We develop our projects in a phased manner and typically have a signed lot purchase agreement from a known buyer prior to making any significant new investments. Our approach to land development is lower risk than other public land developers and will produce more consistent cash flow and returns as we achieve scale. Four Star also has a unique and strategic relationship with D.R. Horton, the nation's largest builder. Our relationship with D.R. Horton de-risks the expansion of our operating platform and allows us to have a footprint that is more geographically diverse than most public home builders. ER Horton has an immense appetite for finished lots, and we are leveraging this strategic relationship to deliver top-line revenue growth that is unmatched within the broader home building and land development universe. I'll turn it over to Jessica now to discuss some of our financial highlights.
