Good morning and welcome to the Piper Jaffray Companies’ conference call to discuss the financial results for the first quarter of 2018.
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 website at www.piperjaffray.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. This call also includes statements regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures.
