Good morning. Thank you, Cal, and welcome, everyone, to our second quarter earnings call. We're extremely proud of the accomplishments and the financial results we'll share this morning. They provide further proof points into the continued successful execution of our strategic growth plan while also continuing to demonstrate prudence as we prepare for the impacts of less certain economic conditions in the coming quarters. Our path forward was built with potential challenges in mind and a level of flexibility that allows us to adapt quickly as needed. Knowing that there is greater level of uncertainty ahead, we are balancing our growth objectives with a keen focus on safety and soundness. But as you'll see today, we're entering these unsettled times in a position of strength with a focus on exiting the other side as an even stronger, more agile company.
