I’m here with Baird. Thanks for joining the Regal Rexnord session. Pretty standard operations here.

We have Louis Pinkham, CEO who’s going to give some prepared remarks. Rob Rehard, CFO. Rob Barry is in the crowd. He’s give some prepared remarks, then we’re going to have a Q&A session. So please if you have any questions, fire me an e-mail, raise your hand. We’ll make sure they get incorporated in the session. So with that, Louis, thanks for coming.

Louis Pinkham
CEO & Director

Yes. Great. Thanks, Mike. Thanks for having us. Louis Pinkham, CEO. We’ll make this short, but I wanted to share a few things.

As many of you know, we’ve transformed the Regal Rexnord business over 6 years and have made tremendous progress improving our margins and free cash flow and building a much stronger portfolio. Stronger in terms of the markets we serve and the products and technology we offer. And so our focus has been shifting to accelerating profitable growth. We have been doing a lot on this front and our investments are paying off. But we remain in the early innings, both in terms of end market recovery and our outgrowth initiatives.

So before we go to Q&A, I want to cover a couple of things. You saw on Slide 2, the note of forward looking statements. This slide really gives you an overview of Regal. I know many of you know us well. We’ve included this slide for those who don’t know us
