Thank you, Cal. Good morning everyone and welcome to our first quarter earnings call. The first quarter provides another proof point of our continued focus on growth. I’m extremely proud of the way our team members set and kept the pace and focus as we pursued and won new business, deepened wallet share, enhanced our clients experiences and made ongoing progress in several areas of investment, including Maast, CIB, and Wholesale Banking.
