Thank you, Rachel. I would like to welcome you to Movado Group’s third quarter conference call. With me today is Sallie DeMarsilis, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. I will first review the highlights of the quarter and the current operating environment. Sallie will then review our financial results in greater detail as well as our outlook for the balance of the year. We would then be glad to answer any questions you might have.
Since we last spoke to you in August, we have seen a substantial change in the operating environment. Globally, we have experienced high inflation and the unfavorable currency rates and unfavorable currency rates, both of which further intensified during the third quarter. In addition, we have seen European and American consumers begin to reduce their purchases of discretionary items as inflation has taken its toll on their buying power. Within this environment, our teams have done an excellent job of executing against our strategy and managing our expenses to deliver strong results, particularly on a currency-adjusted basis, despite the prevailing headwinds.
