Good morning. My name is Jacqueline, and I’ll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Dynex Capital, Inc., Fourth Quarter 2018 Earnings Results and Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers’ remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session.
