Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the ICON Plc First Quarter 2015 Earnings Conference Call. For your information, today's call is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Mr. Simon Holmes. Please go ahead, sir. Simon Christopher Holmes - VP-Investor Relations & Corporate Development: Thank you. Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us on this call covering the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Also on the call today, we have our CEO, Mr. Ciaran Murray; our CFO, Mr. Brendan Brennan; and our COO, Dr. Steve Cutler. I'd just like to note that this call is webcast, and there are slides available to download on our website to accompany today's call. Certain statements in today's call will be forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those stated or implied by forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties associated with the company's business, and listeners are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. The company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission discuss the risks and uncertainties associated with the company's business. This presentation includes selected non-GAAP financial measures. For a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the press release statement headed Consolidated Income Statements Unaudited U.S. GAAP. While non-GAAP financial measures are not superior to or a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, we believe certain non-GAAP information is more useful to investors for historical comparison purposes. We'll be limiting the call today to one hour. I'm going to therefore, ask participants to keep their questions to one each, with an opportunity to ask one related follow-up question. I would now like to hand over the call to our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Brendan Brennan.
