Good morning. I’m Paul Nester, President and CEO of RGC Resources, Inc. Welcome, and thank you for joining us as we discuss RGC Resources First Quarter 2020 Results. First, I would like to go over a few administrative items. We have muted all lines and ask that all participants remain muted during the presentation. After the presentation is completed, we will take questions. The link to today’s presentation is available on the Investor & Financial Information page of our website at www.rgcresources.com. Next, I would like to introduce our new Chief Financial Officer, Randy Burton. Randy joins us with more than 25 years experience in financial management, accounting and auditing. He was a partner in a regional accounting firm for the last 12 years, where he worked in varying capacities with many public registrants. We’re excited he has decided to join our management team and welcome him to his first RGC Resources earnings call.

Thanks, Paul. I’m happy to be part of the team and look forward to creating value for our shareholders, our customers and our fellow team members. So thanks for having me.

Oh, thank you. Now let’s begin our presentation. And as always, on Slide 1, we provide a quick reminder regarding forward-looking statements. As outlined on Slide 2, our agenda includes reviewing company highlights from the first quarter and discussing our outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2020. After the conclusion of the presentation, we also welcome you to ask questions during our Q&A. Randy is now going to review some key highlights.

Thank you, Paul. A shown on Slide 3, Roanoke Gas’ customer base continues to grow. The company has experienced 2% average customer growth since 2016 and added an additional 184 customers during the first quarter of 2020. As you may recall, we added approximately 670 total customers during all of fiscal 2019. Moving on to Slide 4. Total gas volumes sold were consistent quarter-over-quarter. As noted on Slide 4, commercial and industrial volumes in combination increased slightly, as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The total volumes were consistent, it is important to consider that Q1 2020 was approximately 8% warmer than Q1 2019. Therefore, consistent volumes in this environment indicates that customer growth has outpaced the effect of an 8% warmer weather. Moving on to Slide 5. We invested $5.8 million in our regulated utility in the first quarter, a 2% increase compared to the same period last year. As noted on Slide 5, we spend approximately $2.2 million on infrastructure replacement, $1.5 million on customer growth and $2.1 million on other capital needs. The quarter-to-quarter spending is consistent and aligns with the company’s continued focus on maintaining and improving Roanoke Gas infrastructure. Moving to Slide 6. We had a strong first quarter with diluted EPS increasing 63% over first quarter of 2019. Quarterly performance improved significantly due to the impact of our rate increase and earnings on our MVP investment. At this time, Paul will review our financial results in greater detail.

Thank you, Randy. To aid in this discussion, we have included our condensed consolidated statements of income on Slide 7. Let’s start with more details of our quarter-to-quarter results. Operating income increased approximately $1.8 million in the current quarter; gas utility margin, as defined in our most recently filed 10-Q, increased approximately $2.3 million, or 25% compared to the same period in the prior year. Primary driver of this increase was higher non-gas base rate. Our first quarter results reflect the final order from the rate case, which we will discuss in more detail later in the presentation. The increase in margin was offset by increased expense. Total operating expenses net of the cost of gas increased approximately $0.5 million. The increase in expenses was primarily driven by Roanoke Gas’ write-down of regulatory asset, as required by the SEC in the final order; the amortization of regulatory assets and higher corporate insurance premiums; as well as higher general taxes and depreciation expense related to continued investment in Roanoke Gas infrastructure. The non-cash equity earnings in our Mountain Valley Pipeline investment doubled to approximately $1.1 million due to construction spending to date. Increased borrowings resulted in a 33% increase in interest expense, borrowings increase related to the continued funding of the MVP investments, as well as the continued funding of Roanoke Gas’ capital projects. Income taxes increased $540,000 in the current year, primarily driven by the increase in taxable income. Now, let’s review results for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019. Operating income increased approximately $2.3 million to a total of $13.4 million. Primary drivers mere those discussed in the quarter-to-quarter analysis, including revenue lift from the rate case, offset by higher expenses from both the amortization and required write-down of regulatory assets, as well as increases in general taxes…
