Good morning. My name is Brandon and I will be your conference facilitator. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to Granite Point Mortgage Trust’s First Quarter 2018 Financial Results Conference Call. All participants will be on a listen-only mode. After the speakers remarks, there will be a question and answer period.
