At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. We will be conducting a question and answer session after the financial and operations report. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded for replay purposes. It is now my pleasure to introduce Mr. Ron Haggad, Vice President, Investor Relations.

You may now proceed, sir. Thank you, and good morning.

Joining me today are Jason Paget, President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Lemerman, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Katie Hill, Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, as well as additional members of our management team. During today's call, we'll be making forward-looking statements. These statements, including those describing our beliefs, goals, expectations, forecasts, and assumptions, are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results may differ from these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, many of which are beyond our control.
