Thank you, Taylor, and good morning, everybody, and thank you for joining us for our first quarter call.
And I'm going to go right to the flip book, page 3. And my comments on page 3 can be summarized with five statements. First one is a tough quarter. Second one is tricky calendar. Third one is highlighting the customer expo. Third [ph] is strong performance on our growth drivers. And then the final is financially strong and that strength is continuing to build as we've seen in recent years.
