Thank you, operator, and good morning everyone. Thanks for taking the time to join us today. On the call today for our prepared remarks are Hal Lawton, our CEO, and Kurt Barton our CFO. Seth Estep our EVP and Chief Merchandising Officer will join us for the Q&A session.

In many cases these risks and uncertainties are beyond our control. Although the company believes the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations or any of its forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and actual results may differ materially from expectations.

Important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements are included at the end of the press release issued today and in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
