Thank you, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Cree's third quarter fiscal 2020 conference call. Today, Cree's CEO, Greg Lowe, and Cree's CFO, Neil Reynolds, will report on the results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and discuss current circumstances related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Please note that we will be presenting non-GAAP financial results during today's call, which is consistent with how management measures Cree's results internally. Non-GAAP results are not in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Non-GAAP information should be considered a supplement to and not a substitute for financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is in our press release and posted in the investor relations section of our website, along with a historical summary of other key metrics. Today's discussion includes forward-looking statements about our business outlook, and we may make other forward-looking statements during the call. Such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Our press release today and the SEC filings noted in the release mention important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, including risks related to the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the Q&A session, we would ask that you limit yourself to one question and one follow-up so that we can accommodate as many questions as possible during today's call. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us after the call. And now I'd like to turn the call over to Greg.
Thank you, Tyler, and good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Before we get started, our thoughts go out to those affected by COVID-19 and and to those working on the front lines to keep us safe during this pandemic. I'd also like to give a heartfelt thank you to all CREE employees for their extraordinary efforts. I've been working at our headquarters here in North Carolina since the beginning of the outbreak to do my day job and also help out in the mornings and the afternoons with our health screening process as people arrive on campus for their shifts. I cannot express enough how proud I am of our people for their dedication to keeping our business running and serving our customers during this difficult time. Our manufacturing facilities in the U.S. continue to operate as essential businesses, and we are closely monitoring the guidelines from local, state, and federal officials. While the COVID-19 situation is rapidly evolving, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the following key priorities. First, the health and safety of our employees, customers, and partners remains our highest priority. We have instituted stringent safety measures, including robust screening, social distancing, and cleaning protocols in all of our facilities. We also have deferred all business travel and instituted work-from-home policies whenever feasible to protect our people as well as the partners we interact with. Second, we are focused on maintaining business continuity across our global operations. To that end, we have implemented plans to ensure we can continue to deliver for our customers while managing our diverse supply chain. Our sales teams have embraced the use of digital platforms and remain in constant contact with our customers and partners, along with our dedicated engineering and support staff. Lastly, we are working hard to ensure that when this crisis subsides, we will be ready to emerge as an even stronger business and well-positioned to capitalize on the long-term opportunities for silicon carbide. We continue to believe that we stand before a multi-decade growth opportunity for silicon carbide adoption and remain committed to investing in our capacity to meet this long-term demand. Importantly, Many of our customers have indicated that their long-term plans remain in place, including our long-term wafer supply agreements, the delivery of electric vehicles to the market, and the rollout of 5G. We are recognized as a valued partner in these endeavors and continue to receive strong validation for our technology from our diverse customer base. I'll now turn it over to Neal. who will provide an overview of our results from the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and an outlook for Q4. Neal.
