Hello! And welcome to The Greenbrier Companies, Second Quarter of Fiscal 2022 Earnings Conference Call. Following today's presentation, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. Each analyst should limit themselves to only two questions. Until that time, all lines will be in a listen-only mode. At the request of the Greenbrier Companies, this conference call is being recorded for instant replay purposes.

At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Mr. Justin Roberts, Vice President and Treasurer. Mr. Roberts you may begin.

Justin Roberts

Thank you, Chuck. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the call. Today I am joined by Bill Furman, Greenbrier's Executive Chairman; Lorie Tekorius, CEO and President; Brian Comstock, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial and Leasing Officer; and Adrian Downes, Senior Vice President and CFO.

Following our update on Greenbrier’s performance and our outlook for fiscal 2022, we will open up the call for questions. In addition to the press release issued this morning, additional financial information and metrics can be found in the slide presentation posted today in the IR section of our website. Matters discussed on today's conference calls include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Throughout our discussion today, we will describe some of the important factors that could cause Greenbrier’s actual results in 2022 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of Greenbrier.

And with that, I'm going to hand it over to Mr. Furman.

Bill Furman

Thank you, Justin, and good morning everybody. This past month has been an eventful time in the world and at Greenbrier. On March 1, Lorie Tekorius assumed the role of Greenbrier CEO. Last week our Board of Directors appointed Lorie as our newest Director.

As we begin today’s call, I want to first congratulate Lorie on the new positions at Greenbrier and we are proud of Lorie’s development at Greenbrier and how we have managed this very important transition. I'm pleased that I now serve as Executive Chairman through the remainder of our fiscal year and as a Board Member and Investor until 2024.
