Good morning, and welcome to the Piper Sandler Companies conference call to discuss the financial results for the first quarter of 2022. 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 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.pipersandler.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. This call will also include statements regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the company's earnings release issued today for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The earnings release is available on the investor relations page of the company's website and at the SEC website. As a reminder, this call is being recorded. Now I'd like to turn the call over to Mr. Chad Abraham. Mr. Abraham, you may begin your call. Good morning, and thank you for joining us. I am here with Deb Schoneman, our President, and Tim Carter, our CFO. We will go through our prepared remarks and then open up the call for questions. Financial markets experienced increased uncertainty during the quarter, including the war in Ukraine, persistent inflation, and expectations for continued tightening of monetary policy. Despite this quickly changing and challenging backdrop, our diversified and resilient business model continues to generate strong results. While equity underwriting activity was soft across the industry, market conditions remain constructive across many of our industry and product verticals, and our advisory business was a highlight during the quarter. During the first quarter of 2022, we generated adjusted net revenues of $362 million, a 20.8% operating margin and adjusted EPS of $3.12. I am pleased to report that we delivered strong performances across our advisory, debt financing and brokerage businesses. Turning to corporate Investment Banking. We generated total corporate Investment Banking revenues of $230 million during the first quarter of 2022. Our results were driven by our M&A advisory business, which generated 74% of our Investment Banking revenues. Our corporate debt business, which includes financing and debt advisory, had a successful quarter, generating $55 million of revenues, or 23% of total corporate Investment Banking revenues. Clients were quick to execute debt capital raises in anticipation of rising rates. We completed 33 debt advisory and financing deals during the quarter, raising over $5 billion of capital for our clients. Turning to advisory services. Advisory revenues of $211 million during the quarter increased 38% year-over-year and reflects strong, absolute and relative performance. The trend of advising on larger transactions and generating larger average fees continues to be a key driver to our advisory growth. We completed 81 advisory transactions during the quarter, with an aggregate transaction value of more than $26 billion. Performance was led by our financial services group, which advised on four of the five largest U.S. bank M&A transactions that closed during the quarter. In addition, our healthcare, diversified industrial and services, energy and power, and chemicals industry verticals all recorded year-over-year growth. Our advisory pipelines with private equity clients continue to be robust. We expect our sponsor activity to remain strong as PE firms and portfolio companies continue to engage in high levels of deal activity and maintain record amounts of capital to deploy. An additional catalyst for growth is our market leading energy and power franchise. Oil and gas sectors are experiencing renewed interest and increased activity levels. The team has persevered through the most recent down cycle, and we believe they are well positioned to benefit from increasing activity in both traditional and new energy sectors. Looking ahead, M&A activity remains strong and pipelines are good across all of our industry verticals. With this backdrop, we expect advisory revenues for the first half of this year to be similar to the first half of 2021. If market conditions remain supportive and we maintain a high close rate, we anticipate our pipelines could lead to increased revenues for the second half compared to the first half of this year. Turning to corporate financing. Market volatility, a drop in valuations, and a more cautious investor outlook driven by economic concerns and geopolitical risks have largely shut down the equity capital markets. After two years of unprecedented activity, the pause was not unexpected. During the first quarter of 2022, we generated $19 million of financing revenues, primarily debt financing for corporate clients. Turning to Investment Banking managing director headcount. We finished the quarter at 149 managing directors, representing our 10th consecutive quarter of MD headcount growth on a net basis. Our success and momentum continue to resonate in the marketplace. Both our recruiting efforts and the development of our own talent continue to be priorities. We continue to invest for long-term growth and to strengthen our platform. During the quarter, we closed on the acquisition of Cornerstone, and I'd like to welcome all of our new partners. We are excited to have you as part of the Piper Sandler team. In addition, we expect the pending acquisition of Stamford to close in the second quarter of 2022. We recognize that markets can ebb and flow, but we remain focused on elevating the earnings capacity of our platform across market environments. We see numerous opportunities to continue to grow market share and expand our platform capabilities. With that, I will turn the call over to Deb to discuss our Public Finance and brokerage businesses. Thanks, Chad. I'll begin with an update on our Public Finance business. We started the year with $27 million of municipal financing revenues, flat compared to the first quarter of last year. Market issuance during the quarter was $99 billion, down approximately 12% from a year ago, driven by fewer refinancings. Higher nominal interest rates and increased interest rate volatility contributed to the year-over-year decline in issuance. The diversification of our Public Finance business, both in the governmental space as well as specialty sectors, continues to drive benefits. We were able to outperform the market by executing on specialty sector offerings during the quarter. As an example of our expertise, we raised $400 million for a Texas hotel issuer partnering with a local governmental entity. Our expertise in the hospitality sector, combined with our distribution capabilities, allowed us to underwrite a complex transaction in a more challenging market. Highlighting our exceptional distribution capabilities, for 2021, we ranked as the number one underwriter in the nation for non-rated tax-exempt debt. Looking ahead, we expect governmental issuance to continue to moderate from 2021 levels. While our backlog of specialty sector financings is very strong, our execution of this backlog in 2022 will be dependent on market conditions. Turning to equity brokerage. Equity markets in the first quarter saw elevated volatility and volumes. Our equity brokerage business generated record quarterly revenues of $50 million, benefiting from the increased volumes and the addition of Cornerstone Macro to our platform. The acquisition of Cornerstone Macro closed on February 4th. Cornerstone adds over 50 professionals, including 21 publishing research analysts specializing in producing high-quality, thought-leading macro, thematic, and quantitative research. In addition, Cornerstone Macro's options strategy team provides derivative strategy advice and trading capabilities to institutional investors. Integration of the team has gone well, and feedback from clients has been fantastic. With approximately 1,700 combined clients on the platform, we see opportunities to cross-sell across our franchise. We traded 2.8 billion shares during the quarter on behalf of our clients as they repositioned portfolios and sought our premier trade execution capabilities. In periods of heightened volatility, clients consistently trust our high-touch trading expertise to execute quickly and efficiently. We continue to increase the number of clients transacting with us on a monthly basis and reached an all-time high in March. The breadth of our client base allows us to cross a significant portion of executed cash trades, resulting in no market impact for our clients, a valuable differentiator. Lastly, turning to our fixed income business. For the first quarter of 2022, we generated fixed income revenues of $55 million, up 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The market experienced rising interest rates in the first quarter, which drove client activity. The 10-year Treasury rate increased 55% from December 31st to March 31st. This increase in risk-free Treasury yields reflects market expectations of future inflation and further Federal Reserve tightening. The work we have done over the last few years to significantly reduce our inventories and lead with advice versus capital has served us well through this period of interest rate volatility. Client activity was strong as higher yields across products enticed investors off the sidelines. Clients invested in shorter-dated securities and began the work of repositioning their portfolios in an effort to shorten duration. In addition, our bank clients increased their bond purchases as investments began to offer attractive yields relative to lending opportunities on a risk-adjusted basis. Our municipal-centric clients took advantage of higher municipal rates and executed tax swap transactions. Our near-term outlook continues to remain constructive. Inflation and higher yields are driving increased client engagement, and our capabilities position us to assist clients as they navigate a volatile environment. Now I will turn the call over to Tim to review our financial results and provide an update on capital use. Thanks, Deb. As a reminder, my comments will be focused on our adjusted non-GAAP financial results. We generated net revenues of $362 million for the first quarter of 2022, driven by strong results from our advisory and brokerage businesses. Net revenues decreased 43% from the record fourth quarter of 2021, and decreased 13% from the first quarter of last year, primarily due to historically low equity capital markets activity. Despite the challenging equity capital raising environment, we delivered the second strongest first quarter in firm history, and we believe these results reflect a level of operating success which highlights our diversified model. Turning to operating expenses and margin. Our compensation ratio was 62.5% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 60% for the full year of 2021, resulting from lower revenues and a shift in business mix. We continue to expect our compensation ratio to be near 62% on a full year basis as we remain focused on investing for growth. Non-compensation expenses, excluding reimbursed deal expenses, for the first quarter of 2022 were $55 million, at the low end of our guided range. Non-compensation costs, excluding deal expenses, decreased 5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, which had included increased professional fees associated with business expansion, as well as variable costs related to higher revenues and profitability. Compared to the year ago quarter, non-compensation expenses, excluding reimbursed deal costs, increased 24%, resulting from increased travel expense as well as the addition of Cornerstone Macro to our platform. During the first quarter of 2022, we generated operating income of $75 million and an operating margin of 20.8%. This represents the seventh consecutive quarter with an operating margin in excess of 20%. Our adjusted tax rate was 23.1% for the first quarter of 2022, which included a $4.6 million tax benefit related to restricted stock vesting at prices higher than the grant date price. We continue to expect our full year adjusted tax rate will be within our targeted range of 26%-28%, excluding the impact from stock vestings. During the first quarter of 2022, we generated net income of $57 million and diluted EPS was $3.12. Let me finish with an update on capital. We remain committed to returning capital to our shareholders to drive total returns. During the first quarter of 2022, we returned an aggregate of $195 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends paid. We repurchased approximately 789,000 shares for $114 million of common stock, which more than offset the dilution from our annual stock grants and the acquisition of Cornerstone. This includes $93 million of common stock repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase authorization. We will continue to be active repurchasing shares on an opportunistic basis. We also paid an aggregate of $81 million or $5.10 per share to our shareholders through our quarterly and special dividends. In addition, today, the board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.60 per share to be paid on June 10th to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 27th. Overall, we are pleased with our first quarter results. Our diversified business continues to be resilient and durable. We continue to make progress on our long-term growth strategy and remain confident in our ability to grow and deliver shareholder value over the long term. Thanks, and we can now open up the call for questions. At this time, I would like to remind everyone in order to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. Again, that is star one on your telephone keypad. Your first question comes from the line of Devin Ryan from JMP Securities. Your line is open. Hey, great. Good morning, everyone. How are you? Devin. First question, just want to dig in a little bit on the M&A advisory business. We appreciate the outlook. Doesn't sound like expectations have really changed much, which is great despite some of the market volatility. Just talk a little bit about that. You know, are sponsors kind of slowing activity at all or kind of delaying making decisions? Or are you seeing kind of things continue kind of on pace? You know, does that guide or just the expectation imply that you know things kind of normalize, or are you just not seeing kind of any pullback? Then the last piece is from a sector perspective, you guys have you know nice diversification. I'm just curious, are there any areas that have kind of maybe come on stronger as certain areas have kind of maybe slowed? I'm assuming maybe tech or other areas have slowed with valuations on the other hand, maybe commodities or energy are doing better. Just curious kind of any flavor for those items. Yeah, I would say, Thanks, Devin. I would say just to your first question on advisory, you know, while we certainly have a handful of deals, you know, especially the ones that are You know, impacted by public stock price, you know, that have gone away. You know, for the most part, our sponsor business, you know, is quite strong and, you know, relative to signing up, you know, new deals sort of in the first four months of this year, you know, we feel really good about that pace. I think we certainly acknowledge if this market volatility, you know, continues, you know, for a long time into this year, you know, it could ultimately affect those transactions, you know. Right now, we're just not seeing much of that. Frankly, in our sponsor business across some of our sectors, you know, we're winning larger and larger mandates, you know, which might even offset a slightly lower deal count. You know, when it comes to industry sectors, yeah, we sort of talked in the script. Obviously, our energy business was quite strong in Q1. You know, that has been a tougher couple of years. But both traditional and new energy is great. We had a very strong start to the year with financials. You know, I do think that's one area, you know, specifically, you know, with banks, you know, some of the larger transactions, you know, might get tougher towards the end of the year, but certainly just the pace of smaller, transaction is still good for us. Then, you know, like last year, you know, areas of asset management insurance, you know, as we've really broadened our financials practice, you know, continues to be, quite strong and, you know, same with, healthcare and consumer. I think you probably highlighted, you know, the other area, that's a little softer, in advisory to start the year, which is, technology and software. Yes, some of that's just valuations and trickling over into the private markets as well. Okay, great. Thanks, Chad. Just one follow-up here on capital for Tim. The stock's down, you know, over 30% year to date. You know, that's a market dynamic and more than Piper dynamic. But as you balance capital return through buybacks versus dividends and specials at the end of the year, I guess how should we think about kind of capacity for buybacks and kind of where we are on the calculation of kind of the float in the stock relative to you know, maybe the attractiveness of now the new stock price from a longer term perspective? Because I appreciate that, you know, there's not a ton of liquidity, but at the same time, you know, down 30-some% when you know, the long-term business prospects haven't changed that much. You know, it seems like, maybe an interesting opportunity. Yeah, Devin, you know, I think, you know, we've always talked about, you know, right, offsetting, you know, our dilution, which we did here in the first quarter. You know, that was probably a little bit more, you know, aggressive maybe than we've typically been, as we've done that more over the course of the year. You know, I think our view is, look, you know, we still think we wanna be opportunistic on the buyback. I mean, you know, we've always, you know, recognized sort of the float and liquidity piece, but, you know, that has improved over time. I think, you know, it does give us more of an opportunity to continue to buy back. I think we're gonna continue to be, you know, to be active on that front as we go forward. You know, based on capital generation, I mean, obviously, we will continue to, you know, follow the dividend policy as we've set out at 30%-50%. It still gives us, you know, capacity to be active on corporate development. Generally, I think our view is, you know, we at these levels, it does give us more of an opportunity to buy back. Okay, great. That's helpful. I'll leave it there. Thanks so much, guys. Thanks. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of James Yaro from Goldman Sachs. Your line is open. Good morning, and thank you so much for taking my questions. Maybe I could just start with the equity capital markets business. It's obviously down a lot across the industry, but maybe you could just touch on whether you're seeing any sort of green shoots in terms of willingness to try to get some deals done so far in the second quarter, or is the level of market volatility still too high? You know, when you think of some of the companies that need equity financing, such as perhaps biotech is a good example, how long is it until you really think they will need to come out and raise capital? Yeah. Thanks, James. Yeah, I would say relative to the overall ECM market, you know, through the first month here in April, we really haven't seen any pickup. I would say, you know, the first few weeks of April, you know, you were starting to see, you know, volatility sort of down and the VIX down at a level. Obviously, you know, the last 10 days of April, that sort of spiked up again. I would say we're not anticipating, you know, some big pickup in Q2. I would say, you know, we've got, you know, a list of companies that, you know, when the market's willing and ready, that wanna finance. I would also say, just relative to your second comment, you know, we would agree relative to capital markets. I mean, it's pretty rare when we've seen periods last three, four, five quarters of low ECM. I'm not saying that's impossible or that couldn't happen. In general, when we see these pauses. You know, they don't really last more than a couple of quarters. You know, who knows if that's the case this time. We've got the backlog of companies that wanna raise capital, but certainly we haven't seen a lot of renewed interest from investors yet. I think it's too early to make that call that, you know, in the next couple weeks that spigot's gonna turn on. Okay, that's very clear. Maybe for my follow-up, I can just ask about the fixed income trading business, which at least in the recent past, has been an area of counter-cyclicality when we have entered more, economically troubled periods. How do you think about the ability for, you know, fixed income to, you know, pick up even more if we did perhaps enter a recessionary period? You know, I'd actually be really interested to, you know, hear your thoughts on whether we entered a true recession with low interest rates versus more of a stagflationary environment with high interest rates. Yeah. One thing I would say is we do definitely see that our activity in our fixed income business is quite highly correlated to the level of interest rates. Obviously higher rates creating higher activity. We saw some of that in the quarter as we picked up from where we were at the end of last year. Part of it though is also just the shape of the yield curve and interest rate volatility. How those factors are impacting the markets is gonna drive the level. Meaning, if we can have a more slope to the curve and lower interest rate volatility, that combined with higher interest rates, is gonna drive a better fixed income business. To your second point around, it sort of answers your second question, I think, about what happens if we actually enter into a situation where we end up with low interest rates, again. The one other thing I would say though, about our fixed income business is we have definitely moved it into more of a client advisory centric, with a lot of financial strategy work with our clients around it. We are able to see some, I would say, you know, more robust transactions with clients as they rebalance portfolios. I guess that's the other aspect I would add, for color on our fixed income business. Okay, that's very clear. Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Steven Chubak from Wolfe Research. Your line is open. Hi, good morning. Morning. Morning. Wanted to start off with a question on the operating margin. Certainly nice to see the operating margin above 20% in the challenging IB quarter. Was hoping you can give some context as to what you see as an achievable goal for this year, given the visibility you have on the pipelines today and just the constructive outlook that you offered in terms of the advisory backdrop. Yeah, I’ll take the first shot on that and then, you know, Tim can add anything. You know, obviously, I think on the Q1 call, we certainly said the, you know, 27% margin we obtained in Q4 wasn’t sustainable. But I also think, you know, we feel like with the scale diversification, all the industry groups, all the products, you know, we even at, you know, somewhat depressed revenue levels, you know, felt like we could be north of 20%. And I still think we feel like, you know, we can be in the low 20s here. You know, so somewhere between, you know, where our peak was and where we were in Q1, you know, makes sense. You know, certainly if revenues also scale into the back half of the year. Yeah, Steve, maybe the only thing I would, you know, add to that. I mean, you know, we've talked about in my comments, you know, the comp ratio at sort of 62 for the full year. We were, you know, a little bit above that in Q1, you know, given overall revenue levels and business mix. I think, you know, we do feel like there's some opportunities here to continue to invest in the business, you know, make some hires and so that, you know, to have a comp rate at 62 or, you know, what could be even a little bit above that is not a bad spot for us, which obviously has some impact on the margin. Being north of 20, close to 21 at these revenue levels, we feel good about. Okay. That's really helpful color. Maybe just speaking about the recruiting environment. I know you guys had provided some long-term targets or five-year goals. A big driver underpinning some of that growth is strong MD adds. Just wanna get a sense as to what the recruiting pipeline is like, just in terms of new MD talent, your confidence level still, granted it's early days, in terms of your ability to sustain some of that revenue momentum, at least, given some of the hiring trends or the current hiring backdrop. Yeah. I think maybe twofold. You know, obviously to hit our five, six-year targets of where we wanna go, you know, we sort of said we have to do half of that through, you know, acquisitions, big team lifts, and then organic hiring. You know, obviously on the acquisition front, we've got a smaller deal in Stamford that we're gonna close in Q2. I would also say, you know, obviously we've been quite active with boutiques and advisory, and maybe not as active the last 18 months, and some of that was just, you know, prices and the things we looked at and couldn't get done. I would say, you know, those conversations have picked up, and I feel quite good about that in this environment. You know, like we've shown in the past, we're sort of not afraid to do those transactions for the long term in this, in this environment. We feel good about that aspect. On the recruiting side, you know, I would say we have seen some momentum there. You know, some of the tougher spaces, you know, that we've been trying to add, you know, we've gotten a few of those hires done, and, you know, we'll get some of those announcements out in Q2. I think even in this difficult environment, you know, we're gonna stay committed to growing that. Yeah, you're right, for us to hit our long-term targets, you know, we've gotta add the teams, do the acquisitions, and continue to add the 6-7 net MDs a year through external hiring. We're staying on those targets. That's great. If I could just squeeze in one more, relating to the James' earlier question on fixed income brokerage. Completely understand that higher rates is gonna be beneficial to that business. At the same time, what we've seen is the firms that have really strong bank depository franchises in a period where the Fed has significantly inflated the balance sheet, there's been this need to manage a lot of that excess liquidity. That's driven really strong activity. With the Fed now expected to drain significant amounts of liquidity from the system, just curious how you expect that to impact, the fixed income brokerage outlook. Yeah, I think you have that spot on, and we could see the depository side of ours, which obviously is a meaningful part of our overall client base, decline if those funds go, you know, if loan deposits pick up, then we see less liquidity on those balance sheets. One of the things that we are very focused on is expanding the other client verticals. I would say in our strategy to get at that trend, which can definitely happen, is to find ways to further leverage some of our, again, I was mentioning earlier, Financial Strategies Group work and help those other business lines. I do think you have a fair assessment. Right. That's really helpful color. Thanks so much for taking my questions. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Mike Grondahl from Northland Securities. Your line is open. Hey, good morning, guys. Two questions. One, just related to the fixed income trading environment and the pickup there, could you talk a little bit about how you're managing that on the balance sheet? Just kinda remind us there. Then secondly, just how many MDs you are picking up with Stamford Partners, if you could note that. Yeah. I'll take the first one there on our balance sheet, and this is something we have been very focused on, boy, for a number of years now, significantly reducing the amount of risk that we take on our balance sheet. As we saw the scale of the business grow, as we combined with Sandler, boy, a couple years ago now, we saw a lot more flow within that business helping us to reduce the need to focus on balance sheet use. You know, thankfully, net-net, we're having to worry much less about that risk in our fixed income business, which historically may have drove more volatility than definitely it does today. Mike, on the Stamford business, just a reminder, that was a smaller acquisition in our consumer team in Europe, adding to our great sort of food and beverage practice, you know, which for us is, you know, also a little bit countercyclical. We're adding 3 net MDs in Q2 from that. Got it. Hey, thanks a lot. Thanks, Mike. Again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. Again, that is star one on your telephone keypad. Your next question comes from the line of Michael Brown from KBW. Your line is open. Great. Hey, good morning, everyone. Hi. Morning. Chad, I just wanted to start with advisory. Obviously positive commentary on the health of the advisory business and the pipeline, given the, you know, the current backdrop here. As you think about the strength of that pipeline, how does that compare to prior periods to help frame the strength of that pipeline versus, you know, historical periods? Yeah, I would say frankly, you know, we looked at that, and it looks, you know, it looks a lot like last year. You know, pretty balanced across industry teams. I would say, you know, if anything in the sponsor business in certain of our sectors, there's more larger deals. You know, the bigger we get, the more round trips we get, you know, the more billion-dollar sponsor deals we get. You know, if anything, it might be a little more back half weighted. I mean, just as a reminder, you know, we had an incredible Q2 with some very large transactions closing. You know, that's gonna be a very difficult comp in Q2. Just in general, you know, that's kinda why I made the comments like, you know, we acknowledge the backdrop. We acknowledge things could get tougher the longer this volatility is sustained. I also just think it's very hard to see across most of our sponsor businesses and see much sort of slowdown. A lot of those industry teams are running at the same pace with the sponsors. If we dive in a little bit deeper there within advisory, you had a really strong contribution from financials this quarter. Can you just give us a quick pulse check on the bank M&A environment? How is that expected to perform in this rising rate environment that we are in and, you know, certainly accelerating through? And how has the regulatory scrutiny that continues to seemingly kinda tighten on bank mergers impacted your business? Or is that really still more of a kinda large cap headwind for bank M&A? Yeah. I sorta touched on those comments. You know, financials was by far the strongest advisory business in Q1. I do think we feel like, you know, that will, you know, slow a little bit in the second half. Some of that is related to the, you know, I think we were on four of the five largest bank deals that closed in Q1. We're definitely seeing, you know, some slowdown on the larger transactions. In general, you know, we also have, you know, very high market share in the smaller transactions, and so we're still seeing those transactions at a pretty good clip. Frankly, have really augmented, like I said, in insurance and asset management and fintech and some of those sectors and are still going at a good pace there. Relative to your last question, I definitely think the regulatory environment, all the transactions are taking, you know, quite a bit longer. Certainly, you know, management teams are noticing that. I think on the larger transactions, we'll see a slowdown. But, you know, in general, the pace in total, you know, is pretty good. Okay. Great. Thanks, Tim. If I could just squeeze a quick one in for Tim. The guidance for the non-comps excluding the deal-related costs for 2022 is $55 million-$57 million per quarter. Obviously T&E is on the rise here. Just wanted to confirm if that's still, you know, the right way to think about the quarterly cadence for the year. Yeah. Mike, I mean, you know, based on what we see, you know, that's still the right level. I think, you know, we're close to maybe back to where those normal travel levels, you know, would be. You know, sort of at the low end, in Q1. Yeah, I think that's, you know, that's the right range, going forward for this year. Okay, great. Thanks for taking my questions. Thank you. Thank you. At this time, there are no more phone questions. Mr. Abraham, you may continue. Okay. Thank you, operator. I'd like to close by saying that I'm very proud of how our team managed through a difficult operating environment during the quarter. Thank you, everyone, and we look forward to updating you on our second quarter results. Have a great day. This concludes today's conference call. You may now disconnect.
