Joining me on the call are Glenn Chamandy, President and CEO of Gildan; Rhod Harries, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer; Chuck Ward, President, Sales, Marketing and Distribution; and , Vice President, Head of Investor Relations, which Rhod will introduce in a moment.

Before I begin, please take note that certain statements included in this conference call may constitute forward-looking statements, which involve unknown and known risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

We refer you to the company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

And now I'll turn it over to Rhod.

Thank you, Elisabeth, and thank you all for joining us today to discuss our first quarter results. Before I start, I'd like to welcome , our new Vice President, Head of Investor Relations at Gildan, who, as Elisabeth called out, is joining us on the call today. Many of you may know Jessy, as prior to her last role, she spent much of her career as a sell-side analyst, including tenures covering Gildan. We are extremely pleased to have Jessy joining the team, and I know she is looking forward to meeting with all of you.
