Thanks, Brad. Hello, and thanks to all of you for joining us today. As we look at our third quarter and year-to-date performance, we remain confident in our long-range plan and the business strategies that support it.

In my prepared remarks today, I will cover three topics with a focus on how we're making progress towards our long-range goals with updates on our third quarter results and a view of our near-term macroeconomic environment along with an update on how we're continuing to advance our strategic initiatives and make progress towards reaching all of our long-term goals.
