Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Standard Motor Products' first quarter earnings call. My name is Larry Sills. I'm chairman of the board. With me this morning are Eric Sills, president and CEO, Jim Burke, chief operating officer, and Nathan Iles, Chief Financial Officer. Today our agenda will be Eric will go over some of the first quarter highlights, and Jim will discuss operations, and finally Nathan will go into more detail on the numbers. Then we'll open it to Q&A, so let's go. And I'll start by turning it over to Nathan for the forward-looking statement. Thank you.

Alright, thank you Larry, and good morning everyone. Before we begin this morning, I'd like to remind you that some of the material that we'll be discussing today may include forward-looking statements regarding our business and expected financial results. When we use words like anticipate, believe, estimate, or expect, these are generally forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based on information currently available to us and certain assumptions made by us, and we cannot assure you that they will prove correct. You should also read our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. I'll now turn the call over to Eric.
