Good morning, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the conference call of BRF to discuss the results related to the First Quarter 2022. We'd like to inform you that, this event is being recorded. And that all participants will be in listen-only mode during the company’s presentation. We will then start the Q&A, when further instructions will be provided. [Operator Instructions]

This event is also being broadcast simultaneously over the Internet via webcast and can be accessed at ri.brf/global.com. The replay of this event will be available soon after it's completed. We'd like to remind you that, the attendees may post questions to BRF, which will be answered after the end of the conference by the IR team.

Before moving on, we'd like to clarify that, any forward-looking statements that may be made during this conference call related to the business perspectives, projections, operating and financial targets and goals are based on assumptions of the company's management, as well as information currently available to the company.

Forward-looking statements are no guarantee of performance since they involve risks uncertainties and assumptions, because they refer to future events and therefore, depend on circumstances that may or may not occur.

Investors and analysts must understand that general conditions, sector conditions and other operating factors may affect the future results of BRF, leading to results that may differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.

I would now like to turn the floor to Mr. Lorival Luz, Global CEO of the company, who will begin the presentation. You may proceed, sir.

Lorival Nogueira Luz

Good morning, everyone. Thank you, once again to be here attending our conference to discuss the results of the first quarter 2022. Here with me, we have our CFO, Mr. Mariano, who will also address the presentation to you; and other members of the Executive Committee.

Something else, I would like to mention. As you probably noticed, we are discussing the results in a different way, from the way we were doing in the previous quarters. Now, we are using the telephone from BRF, different from what we did in the previous times in a studio with images, and a complete infrastructure.
