excuse me this is the operator today's conference is scheduled to begin momentarily until that time your lines will again be placed on music hold thank you for your patience Thank you. Thank you. Good morning and welcome to JPT Corporation's third quarter 2020 earnings conference call. My name is Laura and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, all lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question, you will need to press star 1 on your telephone at that time. I would now like to turn the call over to JPT's Vice President of Investor Relations, Megan Radigan, to begin today's conference. Ma'am, please go ahead.

Thank you, Laura. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our third quarter 2020 conference call. With me on the call is Brian Deck, Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Matt Meister, Interim Chief Financial Officer. Also joining us this morning is JBT's Chairman of the Board, Alan Feldman. In today's call, we will use forward-looking statements that are subject to the Safe Harbor language in yesterday's press release and 8-K filing. JVT's periodic SEC filings also contain information regarding risk factors that may have an impact on our results. These documents are available in the Investor Relations section of our website. Also, our discussion today references certain non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found in the press release on our website. Now, I'd like to turn the call over to Brian.

Thanks, Megan, and good morning, everyone. I cannot start without saying a few words about our former CEO, Tom Giacomini. He was our friend, mentor, and an inspirational leader who transformed JVT and established a culture, strategy, and operational fitness that accelerated growth and profitability. He fostered deep customer and employee relationships and elevated JVT's reputation within the industry. Now, it is up to the rest of us across JVT to honor Tom's legacy and continue the strategy that has enhanced JVT's competitive position customer orientation, and performance. I'd ask our chairman, Alan Stelzman, to share a few words. Alan?
