Thanks, AJ, and good morning, everyone. I want to thank you for joining us today. Our first quarter results delivered on our expectations, and they're a positive sign that we're focusing on the right things to move our business forward and to begin to capture the underlying sales and profit opportunities. The significant year-over-year improvements we achieved continue to validate that we're focusing on our core competencies, we're revitalizing the Americas, and better aligning our cost structure. and we're pleased to see that Unifi is making progress to fulfill its vision as one of the world's leading innovators in recycled and synthetic yarns. We believe the recent trade developments, including anti-dumping and countervailing duties, are set to reshape our industry and provide meaningful opportunities over the next few quarters. The timing of the final determinations of dumping, subsidization and injury is unchanged and is expected to be by the end of calendar 2019, so we'll provide you with updates when appropriate. Lastly, we're excited to welcome Craig Criatore, our new Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. His skill set and his experience complement the team's operational and strategic focus. And with the addition of Craig, we feel that we have a very well-rounded group of senior leaders that will best position our company for future growth. Now I'll turn the call over to Tom for a high-level discussion of the company's performance during the first quarter. Tom?
