As rough as it was, we're in a better place and we've accomplished it without diluting our shareholders.Ĭonsidering where we started, we’ve made progress and stubble important fronts in a very short period of time. We have plenty to cover, but if I had to narrow it down to a single theme, it would go like this. I’ll turn the call over to Jim Hagedorn to begin. Anyone who likes further discussion can call me directly at 93 and we’ll work to set up some time as quickly as possible.Īlso, please note that today’s call is being recorded and an archived version of the call will be published on our website at. I’ve already scheduled time with many of you after the call to fill in any gaps. Please refer to our Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, so that you may familiarize yourself with the full range of risk factors that could impact our results. In a moment, Jim, Mike, and Matt will share some prepared remarks, and then we’ll open the call to your questions.Īs always, we expect to make forward-looking statements, so I want to caution everyone that our actual results could differ materially from what we relate today. Joining me this morning are, Chairman and CEO, Jim Hagedorn our President and Chief Operating Officer, Mike Lukemire Matt Garth, our Chief Financial Officer, and Chris Hagedorn, Group President of Hawthorne.
