Thank you, Dan, and good morning, everyone. I’m pleased to report a strong improvement in our overall operating performance compared to the third quarter of 2013. Net sales increased by 10% over the third quarter of last year. Power Systems in particular made a substantial contribution to the increase, largely due to the return of parts and service demand following the effects of sequestration and the Navy’s maintenance cycle, which affected last year in the first part of 2014. Activity in our semiconductor, nuclear power, aerospace and heavy-duty truck markets remain robust and activity in automotive and industrial markets in Europe and Asia improved from last year. We continue to see headwinds in the pipeline project activity and in the Western Canada natural gas market, and in our refinery and petrochemical fall season turnaround business, it was slow in both Europe and North America. Segment profit increased by 31% to $38.6 million and segment margins increased to 12.8% compared to 10.7% in the third quarter of 2013, largely due to volume, price and operational improvements, primarily driven by the results in Power Systems and Engineered Products. This improvement came even though growth related spending added about $2.3 million in costs in the quarter compared to the third quarter of 2013. This spending includes R&D investment related to the new version of the opposed-piston engine at Power Systems and implementation costs at the share distribution center for our heavy-duty truck parts business at Stemco. Consolidated GAAP net income of $8.6 million, or $0.33 a share rose 54% in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted net income of $17.6 million, or $0.75 a share increased 35% from the same period last year. The deconsolidated operations of GST reported fairly flat third party sales compared to last year.…

Thanks, Steve. As Steve mentioned on a GAAP basis, our third quarter sales of $302.6 million were up about 10% from the same period of 2013, led by a significant increase in revenue of Power Systems as the parts and service business for the government return. By geography, we saw strong organic growth of about 6% in Europe, driven by improvements in demand for our high-performance seals, bearings and compressor products partially offset by softer demand in Germany and the UK for our industrial seals. Organic growth was mixed in North America with solid improvement in our aerospace, heavy-duty truck and bearings market. And our refinery and petrochemical markets in North America have been slower than expected as some of the normal maintenance activities are associated with the turnaround season have been delayed. For the quarter, gross profits were $14.1 million or 15% higher than in the third quarter of 2013 and gross profit margins increased to 35.1% from 33.4%. Favorable volume and a stronger mix of higher margin parts and service revenues of Power Systems were the key contributors to the margin improvement. SG&A expenses in the third quarter were about flat as a percent of sales compared to the third quarter of last year. However, spending was up $6 million due to the $2.5 million increase in corporate costs and an increase of $3.5 million spread across our operations. The increase in corporate costs was attributed to higher employee medical costs and employee compensation and benefits. Operating SG&A increases largely reflect investments in ERP systems, research and development and added manpower as we work to build a stronger platform for our growth. Before I get into the performance of our operations by segment, I want to refer you to a slide showing a series of events that have…

Thanks, Alex. Before I go into the wrap up guys, I just noticed the typo on the slides. I apologize for this. Everything Alex said in the script was correct and the earnings release is correct, but on the Power Systems segment slide in the slide show, the segment profit numbers listed for Q3 2014 and Q3 2013 were wrong. That’s just a typo, and I apologize. The accurate numbers for Q3 of this year for segment profit in Power Systems is $9.6 million and in the third quarter of last year it was $2.3 million. So those are consistent with what Alex said in the press release, but we somehow missed that typo on the slide. I apologize. But that pretty much covers our wrap up of the third quarter. So let’s talk about where we’re expecting to be in the fourth quarter. Most of our businesses, except Fairbanks Morse have some normal seasonal slowness in the fourth quarter. OEM order activity remains firm in our semiconductor, aerospace and trucking markets and we have a substantial shippable backlog in Power Systems in the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, we’re cautiously optimistic that sales for the fourth quarter will be near the third quarter’s level. However, margins generated by engine revenues and OEM sales are generally a little lower than our aftermarket margins. That said, although we’ve not begun to feel any significant softness in Europe and Asia, we’re concerned about the direction that that might be headed. As a result, we expect fourth quarter margins to be lower than those we reported in the third quarter. But we remain very excited about the longer term benefits of the number of strategic growth initiatives underway and the potential for additional growth that our new capital structure now affords us. So now, we’ll open the line for your questions.

(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Jeff Hammond. Your line is open. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Hey, good morning, guys.

Hi, Jeff. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Hi. So, I’m assuming just lot of moving pieces within sealing. So I just wanted to understand, one how should we think about 4Q margin for sealing. How should we think about the normalized margin trajectory into 2015, and maybe within that you can speak about where you think that the Stemco distribution center cost go as we move forward and maybe how you’re thinking about some of those one-time factors?

Yes, Jeff. It’s Steve. We’re expecting the Stemco distribution costs in Q4 to be about half of what they were in Q3, so $0.5 million plus or minus. And then going forward next year, we expect that to be at worst to neutral, so there won’t be any added costs for that. We did get by the way the transition to the STC is now fully in place and functioning pretty well from an on-time delivery standpoint and so we’re really working now to optimize all the cost levers and customer behavior and shipment behavior patterns and so forth that we anticipated for why we actually did the project. So that really is the primary impact that’s affecting margins in sealing in Q3. Then the rest of it is just kind of what I would call normal fluctuation OEM to aftermarket mix variance of margins across our various businesses, the businesses within sealing and so forth. So, in the fourth quarter we normally see a little bit of a decline in margin, because that’s the business, that’s the segment that’s typically fairly affected by the seasonal slowdown in both Garlock and Stemco. We continue to see robust orders into Stemco but it’s mostly OEM going into the end of the year. So, I would expect to see margins maybe a couple points lower in Q4 this year than we had last year for sealing. But I think for the full year, next year, I think you can expect more like what we’ve seen full year this year or trended at full year, certainly above the mid teens, a little bit above the mid teens level would be my best look at this point. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Okay. Just to clarify that the three, four year-to-date and call $4 million of Stemco distribution costs. Do those go away next year or that is a new sustainable level?

No, no, no. they go away. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Okay, okay. And

We’ll be back at where we are now. With Stemco, now I think they won’t come back will be GPT the pipeline business that Alex has referred to in every call that here that we’re seeing slowness in pipeline, construction activity globally for both oil, as well as water infrastructure. We certainly don’t expect that business to come back from the demand standpoint. Hopefully, won’t get any worse next year than this year, but we are not expecting a recovery there. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: So it seems like the kind of run rate to think about is what you’ve seen in the second half x this kind of Stemco noise. So kind of 14%, you’re not getting back to the 15%, 16% that you saw in 2012 and 2013. But more on that 14% level?

Yes, we’re going to be in sealing for the year where we’re thinking will be right around 15% for the full-year basis. And I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t be there at slightly north of that next year. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Okay. And then just shifting gears this year too.

That Jeff – that is the full-year number. What I was giving you before I thought you’d ask for Q4 – are sent to Q4 margins in sealing. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Right, right. Okay

Yes. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: And then, for GST you cited kind of some programs running off. And the margins have been under some pressure there, so how should we think about kind of the structural goal for – is this kind of right run rate, to think about. We’re may be over earning last year or what is kind of the right structural run rate for GST?

Yes, we were clearly over earning, last year. We had a competitor that had a fire in one of their plants and so we made a bunch of products kind of unbranded product for that. But it was pretty attractive margins to us. We knew that was a temporary thing, so it’s not like a customer that we had lost, but it was a program that went away. And so we knew that wouldn’t happen again, this year. Second is we had a program where we actually make the internal for or some valves for a company, we’re actually coating with, we are coating them with (indiscernible). And we had always just had the overflow business from that customer. And they decided that the in-source the remaining amount that we used to have about half the business and they expanded their factory to be able to do all of it themselves. And so that business went in-house and we didn’t have that this year, as well. And although it wasn’t great margin business for us, on an incremental basis it was reasonably good. So those are the two programs, specifically that Alex mentioned because I don’t want anyone to get the impression we’re losing business in Garlock, that is absolutely not the case. The only thing we’ve seen that has been negative to Garlock other than those two and those two – I would both put those in the category you mentioned, Jeff, which is we were over earning last year relative to a normalized run rate. The only thing weakness that we’re seeing is really this demand, this demand, this demand situation on the pipeline business driven by slowing of capital investment in oil pipeline projects, mostly in the Middle East and Europe and South America. The U.S. has been still a decent market there. And water infrastructure, globally which has been weak really since the recession has not come back very robustly. So those two parts of the pipeline products business at Garlock had been weak. The other of it is just, I would say, normal, we haven’t lost customers we continue to feel like we’re doing pretty well actually in the core GST product launch. So from a margin standpoint, I think something in the 15% to 16% range is a very reasonable estimate for next year for all of sealing. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Okay, thanks guys.

Yes.

(Operator Instructions) Our next question comes from Todd Vencil. Your line is open. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Hey guys, good morning.

Good morning Todd. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: So, I was thinking about the Power Systems business, nice to see it a two handle on the margin there again. Obviously…

We told you it was common Todd. Remember in the last call, we told you guys – we told you it was common. So we won’t mislead you. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: So obviously, couple of things, one is, obviously, resurgence of the parts and service business and you mentioned sequestration and weighing effects there in the Navy’s schedule. I mean strictly looking at the parts business and service, is that likely to kind of stay recovered or is it going to be lumpy, or how you thinking about that?

No, I think we think it is solid, I mean certainly it will be strong in Q4 because as we know the shippable backlog, but we don’t see anything next year that’s got has concerned, I think we’re going to be back to the normalized level that would I think exclude. Quite frankly and probably exclude the second half of 2012, because as we’ve told you before, the Navy pre-bought a bunch of stuff in the second half of 2012, because they were worried about sequestration coming in 2013. In 2013, we got hit with a double whammy of the sequestration and just a normal maintenance cycle that did not include mid-life and major overhauls for ships that had our engines on them. And then, because of sequestration that kind of breaks were not let off until the first half of this year, but because of the normal lag in order cycle for spare parts, we didn’t actually start shipping product until the second half of the year. So you saw that in Q3. So this whole sequestration thing in that really, I would say very unusual and weak maintenance cycle that we had last year. It’s is the worst one we’ve had since we kind of had been keeping track of these things. Those two effects are both behind us, but they really did pollute – had a minimum Q4 of 2012, all four quarters of last year and the first two quarters of this year. So, I think to get a normalized rate, we’re going to have to just wait and see what happens in shipments in Q4, you guys are and then we can almost go back to kind of 2011 and the first half of 2012 and extract it for a normal rate of government parts and service in that business. We’ll try to give you a little bit more insight on that when we start next year, and talk about what we see for all of 2015. But we certainly don’t see anything on the horizon that has us concerned on the parts and services side for 2015. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Good. Glad to have that behind us.

Yes. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: And is it fair for me to assume that there wasn’t a whole of lot OEM revenue in the third quarter, which allowed you to get up above 20% or am I wrong in that?

What might that split out? You have any?

No.

So, we did ship about three completed contract engines and…

I think those are 3% completion, fully the contract coming.

Yes. Right. We did have 3% completion engines. It was a lighter OEM mix. It was very heavy parts and service oriented, but the OEM mix I would say is more normal. That was the parts and service revenue that really drove the year-over-year comp, Todd. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Got it. So, looking at the fourth quarter then would you expect to see a less heavy parts and service mix or is the 3Q mix kind of…

Well, it’s going to be tough on the mix, because we’re going to ship. We’re going to ship. The plan is to ship in Q4. The plan is actually to ship 15 engines, now 12. Yes, about 12 to 15 are completed contract – percent completion. So, obviously that revenue. There is only three completed contract engines in the quarter and we expect parts and service to be more or less the same in Q4 than they were in Q3, maybe not quite as strong, but… Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: So split down the margins there, just from that effect anyway, all else equal?

It will deliver margins a little bit. That’s correct. Just because of the mix, but like I said, it will be a pretty good quarter for Power. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: So given that we’re now hopefully back on a normalized basis and I understand you said you’re going to give us more guidance kind of going into next year on what that’s going to look like, but in general, I mean broad strokes, how are you thinking about sustainable operating margin in the Power Systems business, now that parts and service is kind of gotten over this hump.

Yes, I think we’re still looking at it kind of a mid-teens number for next year. Because remember, we’re still investing a lot in the R&D for the opposed-piston engine, which by the way is continuing to deliver very good. I’m extremely encouraged about it. We’ll be testing our new design by the middle of next year, but that will probably cost us even more money next year, because in addition to some ongoing R&D work and I guess this will be Canada’s R&D, we’re going to have to run the thing on the testing, which will be consuming fuel. So, even under the best case we won’t be selling any new OP engines until 2016 or 2017. However, we are going to be building a lot of the EDF contract. We’ll start a bunch of EDF engines next year as well. So, we think next year will be a decent year for Fairbanks, but not yet as good as we hope it will be down the road because we won’t have the OP actually in the market next year. Hopefully, we’ll be able to start marketing it and selling it late in the year, but we certainly won’t have any orders until I would guess 2016 at the earliest.

Hey, Todd, just some additional clarity on the fourth quarter building almost Steve said, just so everybody on the call sort of fully understands. The engine shipments, is going to be substantially higher than our usual run rate. So, to the tune of – the revenue will be to the tune of two X, what it usually is. And the parts and service volume will basically be of a normal run rate to what we usually see. So you will see a mix effect in the fourth quarter. Now that said, you’ll still continue to see strong performance in the level of the teams that we typically put up with our normal mix because these engines are fairly profitable engines. But there will be a mix effect. So the 20% that you saw this quarter was driven, like we said earlier, very, very heavily by the parts and service side of that business, which was a bit of an anomalous peak. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Now that makes sense. Given that, Alex, I mean should we looking for – I mean I would take it from what you just said, given if parts and service are kind of, at the same run rate you’re looking for in fourth quarter and you’re going to have more OEM revenues, a standard reason that you’re going to see, do you expect any way to see more revenue in Power Systems in 4Q than 3Q?

Yes. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Okay, good. Digging into the some of the cost headwinds in the quarter that you guys called out. Thank you very much by the way for that slide in the deck. I think that’s very helpful. So I just want to make sure that I got it right. So you guys called out within sealing, ongoing project related spending in Stemco’s distribution center as well as severance in inventory reserve adjustments. And if I heard you right, you said that spending was $1 million at Stemco for the distribution center. And then severance, you call out as $300,000 in inventory reserve adjustments of $1.3 million. I got that right?

Yes. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Can you walk to those two last items that you…

Some of the inventory adjustments were engineered though. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Okay.

Right. Right, Dan. Yes. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Okay. Can you just walk through what those…

And of course the R&D spending, the delta is almost all driven by the OP, but the R&D spending is across the Board in the company. Yes, it’s just the delta there from 2013 to 2014 is almost all OP. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Got it. Can you give me some color on that inventory adjustment in the severance?

I don’t know what additional color to give on the severance other than we had a few people leave the company and we’ve had a severance for that. It wasn’t part of a large-scale restructuring if that’s what you don’t (indiscernible) that we’ve had to put in place is we’ve been primarily focused on a lot of the back office optimization work that we talk about periodically. On the inventory adjustments, really the bulk of the inventory that we took adjustments for was in the last quarter. I would say this is more sort of normal aging type adjustments Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Okay. So if I think about the outlook for these things on the – and just to sort of weigh in or not weigh in going forward on Stemco the distribution center, you said, it’s going to cutting to that half in the fourth quarter and then we basically fall into just tag ends in the first and second quarter next year and then zero in the back half. That’s what I would think about it.

No, I think we’ll be pretty much done by the end of the year. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Okay.

So I don’t know what you mean by tag in, but… Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Well I mean, a very small numbers.

Yes, well, I mean, yes, I mean, we’re going to stop keeping track of it at some point. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Okay.

Because it is not really relevant. So it will be smaller than our size. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Effectively done.

Yes. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Okay. And then the inventory and cost adjustments you called that out, but is it fair to say Alex, the comment you just made that that’s kind of its bit of just to the normal level?

Well, it’s higher.

It’s really higher now than normal for a couple of reasons, one is the distribution center. So, we’re carrying a lot more inventory at the distribution center, then we would typically and now that that is fully implemented. We’ll start bleeding that down. And so the way we calculate the inventory reserves is really based on a schedule. And so what happens is because the implementation of the distribution center has taken longer than we would anticipate. The way we calculate the reserve requires us to take a reserve adjustment. The point is Todd, that’s not obsolete inventory, we’re going to sell it. It’s just then in the warehouse for longer than we would anticipate. The second piece is related to a new product that we’re building at GPT to address some of the competitive issues that we’ve talked about. This is the pipeline business within Garlock. The ramp-up for that new product has been much slower than we would have anticipated it would otherwise.

The sales ramp-up has been slower, Todd, we’ve built, so we’re carrying more inventory than we’re able to sell it.

Yes. The sales volume.

Again, it’s not an obsolescence issue, it just has been there a while, and we have policies about what to reserve for. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Got it. So on that 1.3 not necessarily, things like this might happen, but this is going to be an ongoing kind of number?

Right. And so that’s kind of the point is that we’ve taken these reserve adjustments because that the inventory is aged, because of some of the strategic investments we’ve made, we don’t believe that it’s obsolete. We don’t think that this is a normal thing that we’ll do every quarter and that’s why we called that out here. Todd Vencil – Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.: Got it. Perfect. Thanks, guys.

Okay.

Our next question comes from Jeff Hammond. Your line is open. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Hi, guys, just a couple quick follow-ups. So just to kind of close the loop on Power Systems margins, it sounds like you think as things normalize, this is kind of a mid-teen margin business and it feels like maybe based on the mix being more normal in 4Q we’re kind of in that range in 4Q?

Well, on a margin basis, I think it will be a little bit lower than that in Q4, just because we’re shipping so many engines, Jeff. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Okay.

On a total profit basis, obviously, it’s going to be pretty strong, but next year, yes, you’re right. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Okay. Very helpful.

Thanks. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: And then, I guess the last thing on these kind of headwinds or one-time items, one of the big deltas, 2013 to 2014 as R&D. But it sounds like your opposing piston engine, R&D is going to continue to ramp. So is R&D normalized into 2015 or stay at this 2014 level or even get elevated more?

I don’t think it’s probably going to get elevated too much more. I think it’s going to be – because we won’t have there as design activity for that. So my best view now, and I don’t actually have a real accurate view. Again, we can guide on that when we get to Q1, but my guess is that 2015 will look pretty close to 2014. I don’t think it will go up appreciably, if at all. I think it will be in that same neighborhood. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Okay. And then finally, can you give us kind of how you’re thinking about the quarterly interest expense run rate going forward?

Well, the effective rate, if we take the Intercompany Note out, we can talk about that if you want to, but… Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Yes, yes. Actually yes, actually intercompany.

Yes. So, basically the new notes that we put in have an effective rate of 6%, the coupons 5.875% and there was an original issue discount that will get your effective rate to 6% on the $300 million. And so that, especially the run rate for the company, for the bond, the revolver has a carry cost of commitment fee of 20 basis points. So that’s negligible. And then it’s going to be LIBOR plus about 175 is a good number to use as we drive that down, but we don’t anticipate driving that down given the cash balance that we have from the bond deal. The last remaining pieces of the puzzle is the convertible note, which is that it’s roughly $24 million there. The effective rate on that is a little bit confusing. It’s about 9% because you have to consider the equity component as well as [VOID] (ph) but the cash component of that is from memory around 3.875%. So maybe a little bit north operating of 3.875%. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Okay, great. That’s helpful.

And in that just to round out the puzzle on the converts, that $24 million that will expire at the end of 2015. So, either we’ll take that out to a negotiated exchange before then or we’ll retire that 2015. Jeffrey D. Hammond – KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.: Okay. Thanks guys. Helpful.

(Operator Instructions) There are no further questions in queue at this time. I’ll turn the call back over to the presenters.
