Good afternoon. My name is Devin, and I will be your conference operator today. I would like to welcome everyone to KB Home's 2021 First Quarter Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Following the company's opening remarks, we will open the lines for questions. Today's conference call is being recorded and will be available for replay at the company's website at kbhome.com through April 24th. Now, I would like to turn the call over to Joe Peters, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations. Joe, you may begin.

Thank you, Devin. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today to review our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. On the call are Jeff Mesger, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. Matt Mandino, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Jeff Kaminsky, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Bill Hollinger, Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. And Thad Johnson, Senior Vice President and Treasurer.

My career path is not conventional. You know, being a singer-songwriter, most people don't think that's going to be a steady job. So I found myself in a lot of difficult situations, and that's when I started thinking I really have to learn how to run a business, not just play good music. One of the most useful tools about WGU is you're not just a tuition-paying student. It's me participating in something that's bigger than me. And I think that's the beauty of good marketing is creating something that's authentically you and allowing people to plug into it.
