Bill McFarland
Board Chair

Thank you, Drew, and welcome. As we look at the Q1 2022 results, we were very pleased with financial performance and outlook for both the WAFs and facilities management businesses, including the performance of our two recent acquisitions, which give us more scale and FM capabilities. We are also hiring senior resources in the facilities management business to add bench strength for future growth and have room for further expansion for accretive facilities management acquisitions given our expected EBITDA to free cash flow conversion rate of over 50% in the room under our credit facility. However, the Q1 results also highlighted some challenges in our modular business. Modular's results were disappointing and John and Drew will speak to our action plan during the presentation. Our goal is to improve modular's profitability gradually over the next few quarters. to be more consistent with our 2021 experience as we proactively manage inflationary pressures. We remain fully committed to the modular business and the synergies it can bring to the rest of our business and to our overall growth agenda, especially in facilities management, which we believe will ultimately result in long-term shareholder value. Now let me pass it over to John for some more detailed comments. Thank you, Bill.
