Thank you for standing by. Welcome to the CorVel Corporation Quarterly Earnings Release Webcast. During the course of this webcast, CorVel Corporation may make projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or the future financial performances of the company. CorVel wishes to caution you that these statements are only predictions and the actual events or results may differ materially. CorVel refers you to the documents the company files from time-to-time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the company’s last Form 10-K and 10-Q filed for the most recent fiscal year and quarter. These documents contain and identify important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections or forward-looking statements. I would now like to turn the webcast over to your host, Mr. Gordon Clemons.

In contrast, private sector accounts are more difficult to land as a new entrant, and require brokerage support and carrier approval, but gradually build as a percentage of the book of a new vendor, as these accounts tend to churn over much less offer. The oldest TPAs in our market benefit from a foundation of older private accounts, which also tend to have better margins. As…
