Operator: I would now like to turn the call over to Brad Bryant Wilson, senior vice president. Please go ahead, sir.
Brad Bryant Wilson: Good morning. Thank you for joining Selective's Second Quarter 26 Earnings Conference Call. Yesterday, we posted our earnings press release financial supplement and investor presentation on the Investors section of selective.com. A replay of today's webcast will be available there shortly after this call. Joining me are John Joseph Marchioni, our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer and Patrick Sean Brennan, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. They will discuss our results and take your questions. During the call, we will reference non GAAP measures used by insurance and professionals to evaluate financial and operating performance, including operating income, operating return on common equity, and adjusted book value per common share. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are available in our financial supplements on our Investor Relations page. We will also make forward looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 2000. These statements and projections about future performance are subject to risks and uncertainties we disclose in our SEC filings. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward looking statements. Now, I will turn the call over to John.
John Joseph Marchioni CPCU: Thanks, Brad, and good morning. This has been an exciting few months for Selective.
