Before we begin, let me remind you that statements made on this conference call and in the company’s press release, other than those concerning historical information, should be considered forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. For a detailed discussion of factors that could cause actual results to vary from those contained in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the company’s most recent Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also on the call, the company will reference various non-GAAP financial measurements.

Please go ahead sir.
