Good morning and welcome to the Piper Jaffray Companies' conference call to discuss the financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2017.
During the question-and-answer session, securities industry professionals may ask questions of management. The Company has asked that I remind you that statements on this call that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated are identified in the Company's earnings release and reports on file with the SEC, which are available on the Company's Web-site at www.piperjaffray.com and on the SEC Web-site at www.sec.gov. This call will also include statements regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures.
