Good day, everyone, and welcome to today's Standard Motor Products second quarter earnings call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, you will have an opportunity to ask questions during the question-and-answer session. You may register to ask a question at any time by pressing the star and 1 on your touch-tone phone. Please note this call may be recorded, and I will be standing by if you need any assistance. It is now my pleasure to turn today's program over to Larry Sills, Chairman.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Standard Motor Products' second quarter earnings call. My name is Larry Sills, Chairman of the Board. With me this morning, we have Eric Sills, President and CEO, Jim Burke, Chief Operating Officer, and Nathan Iles, Chief Financial Officer. What we'll be doing this morning is Eric will review highlights of the first quarter, Jim will talk a little more about operations, Nathan will take a deeper dive into the numbers, and then we'll open it to questions. With that, I will turn it over to Nathan for the forward-looking statements.

Okay. Thank you, Terry. 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.
