Good morning. My name is Krista, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the EnPro Industries’ 2017 Second Quarter Results. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers’ remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Thank you. Chris O’Neal, Senior Vice President of Strategy, Corporate Development and Investor Relations, you may begin. Chris O’Neal: Thank you, Krista. Good morning, and welcome to EnPro Industries’ quarterly earnings conference call. I’ll remind you that our call is also being webcast at enproindustries.com where you can find the slides that accompany the call. Steve MacAdam, our President and CEO and Milt Childress, our Senior Vice President and CFO, will begin their review of our second quarter performance and our outlook in a moment. But before we begin our discussion, I will point out that you may hear statements during the course of this call that express the belief, expectation or intentions, as well as those that are not historical facts. These statements are forward-looking and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties are referenced in the Safe Harbor statement included in our press release and are described in more detail, along with other risks and uncertainties, in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements made on this conference call to reflect any change in management’s expectations or any change in assumptions or circumstances on which such statements are based. Our earnings release and conference call presentation materials contain additional disclosures regarding non-GAAP financial information, collective references to EnPro and our subsidiaries, the deconsolidation of Garlock Sealing Technologies, or GST, and OldCo LLC or OldCo during the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and pro forma illustrative financial information presented as if GST and OldCo, were reconsolidated for financial reporting purposes during these periods. These disclosures are important to understanding comments we will make on today’s call, and we urge you to read them carefully. Just as we did in the last few quarters, we are providing pro forma segment sales and pro forma segment adjusted EBITDA information in conjunction with GST and Oldco's joint-plan reorganization, which was consummated and became effective earlier today to provide investors with additional pro forma information illustrating each segment’s results as the GST and OldCo had been reconsolidated with EnPro during the reported periods. Given the confirmation of the joint-plan and due to requests from investors for this type of information, we believe this disclosure of pro forma operating results is instructed to investors as it reflects the performance of all of our subsidiaries. And now, I will turn the call over to Steve.
