Thank you, Liz. Good morning, everyone. And thanks for joining us today for our first quarter 2022 earnings call. With me today is our CFO Joe Brinkman. But you won't hear from him verbally as he has cold, so his voice is pretty rough. We're going to try to save it for next week's investor day, which is next Thursday, May 5. So you're stuck with me today. But as usual, I will refer to the supplemental presentation, which can be found on our website.
Starting on slide three, the quarter included our sixth consecutive record quarter of backlog, our highest ever quarter of orders, and our continued progress of closing the gap of pricing and cost which has demonstrated through our sequentially improving margin profile, as well as our continued completion of various acquisition integrations and capacity extension projects. You will see this reflected in our addbacks to earnings per share excluding the mark-to-market gains and losses of our inorganic investments net of FX, are down 42% when compared to Q4 2021.
