Thank you. Welcome everyone, and thank you for joining us on today's call. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that some of the comments that we made during this conference call, including answers to your questions, will constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks that could cause actual results to be materially different. Those risks include, among others, matters that we have described in yesterday's press release and in our filings with the SEC.

Joining me on the call today is Jim Janik, Chairman and Interim President and CEO; and Sarah Lauber, Executive Vice President and CFO. Jim will provide an overview of our performance, followed by Sarah reviewing our financial results and guidance. After that, we'll open the call for questions.

With that, I'll hand the call over to Jim. Please go ahead.

Jim Janik

Thank you, Nathan. I'm pleased to be back talking to you all today as Interim President and CEO following Bob McCormick's retirement. On behalf of everyone at Douglas, I want to reiterate our gratitude to Bob for his dedicated service to the company over the past 20-years. As CFO, COO, and most recently President and CEO, we wish him all the best in his retirement.

Now, many of you may already know me, but here is a reminder about my background for those who don't. I joined the company in 1992 as Director of Sales and served in several roles before becoming President and CEO in 2000. I led the company in that role for 18-years before retiring at the end of 2018. I joined the Board in 2000 and became Chairman in 2014. As Chairman, I've stayed very involved since I retired. And it's been quite straightforward to step back into the CEO role.
