Thank you, Hannah. Good afternoon. And welcome to Canada National Corporation’s third quarter 2023 earnings call. Before I begin my comments about our third quarter performance, I’d like to acknowledge the traumatic events that our communities have faced over the past several days since the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine on October 25th.

We have two locations in the direct area and nearly 60 employees who live in the Lewiston-Auburn area, as well as many customers, friends and community members. Although our employees and families are safe, they are impacted by this tragedy and we’ll support them and our communities throughout this ordeal and its aftermath.

We reported net income of $9.8 million or $0.67 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2023. This included the impact of repositioning a portion of our investment portfolio, which generated a $5.3 million pre-tax loss on the sale of securities.
