Lindsey Vetter: Good morning, everyone. Thank you for participating in our fiscal 27 first quarter earnings conference call. On today's call, we will have Ramesh Jayaraman, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Howard Ian Atkins, our Acting Chief Financial Officer. As a reminder, this presentation will contain forward looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act reflecting our expectations and plans about future financial performance and future business opportunities. These forward looking statements reflect the company's expectations or beliefs about future events based on information currently available to us. Of course, actual results could differ.

Please refer to Slide 2 of the presentation that accompanies today's call, our press release, and our SEC filings for information on risk factors, uncertainties and expectations that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statement. During this presentation, we will also refer to non GAAP financial measures.

Our earnings release for the fiscal 27 first quarter, which was furnished to the SEC on a Form 8-Ks this morning, also contains certain non GAAP financial measures. Reconciliation of these non GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as well as a discussion of certain limitations when using non GAAP financial measures are included in the earnings release. Which has been posted separately to the Investor Relations page of our website I will now turn the call over to Ramesh.
