Thanks, Scott, and good morning to everyone joining the call. Before I start my discussion on the quarter, I'd like to take a moment to publicly thank Bill Griffiths for his many years of dedicated service to Quanex. Bill began his career with Quanex as an Independent Director in 2009. When the Quanex CEO resigned in 2013, Bill was asked by the Board to take over as Chairman and CEO, and he held that role for more than six years. He retired as CEO in January of 2020 and then served as Chairman for the next four years. Bill was instrumental in transitioning Quanex from a largely commoditized metals company into a true building products manufacturing company. His focus on developing a culture of safety, continuous improvement, and profitable growth positioned us well for the success we are realizing today. Thank you again, Bill, for your commitment, dedication, and service to Quanex and its employees, customers and shareholders. We wish you and Iris all the best in retirement....
