Good morning, and welcome to the Aaron’s Inc. fourth quarter earnings conference call. All lines will be muted during the presentation process of the call with the opportunity for questions and answers at the end. At this time, I would like to introduce your host, Gil Danielson with Aaron’s, Inc. Thank you, and enjoy your conference. You may proceed, Mr. Danielson.

Gil Danielson

Okay. Thank you. Thank you, everybody, for joining us this morning. As our standard procedure, I’m going to turn it over to Lee Wilder to read our Safe Harbor statement and then we’ll have some opening comments, and then after the comments were done, we’ll certainly take some questions and answers. So, Lee?

Lee Wilder

The company’s earnings release issued last night and the related Form 8-K are available on our website, www.aaronsinc.com, in the Investor Relations section.
