Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Bio-Techne Earnings Conference Call for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018. At this time, all participants have been placed in a listen-only mode and the call will be opened for questions following management's prepared remarks. I'll remind you that today's call is being recorded. And now, it's my pleasure to turn the conference over to Mr. Jim Hippel, Bio-Techne's Chief Financial Officer.
