Thank you, Diane. Thank you, everyone for joining us on the call. Today, I will discuss our first quarter results for fiscal year 2017 together with the highlights of the quarter and a brief update on our strategy. I will also address the perceived potential impact of the incoming administration on Cubic's overall business and give an update on our Cubic mission solution C4ISR business. Jay will cover our consolidated operating and financial results. On slide 3, you will find an overview of our first quarter results. I am pleased to report a growth in sales to $334.7 million for the first quarter of the year, up $20.9 million, or 6.7%, from the same quarter last year despite foreign currency exchange headwinds of $8.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $20.1 million, also up by $8.8 million, or 78%, from the same period last year net of $1.7 million foreign currency exchange headwinds and $1.2 million of New York City Fair Payment System pre contract R&D investments. Overall, our performance was in line with our expectations. Our Q4 FY16 results had funding and shipment delays primarily in our defense systems business. We've made great progress to settle and equitable contract adjustment with the U.S. Navy on our Littoral Combat Ship virtual training contract an expect to complete negotiations soon. In the fourth quarter, we saw some delays and shipment changes to our delivery schedule. We have now resolved these issues, and virtually all of these delayed shipments are on track for completion by our second quarter. Lastly, we experienced funding delays on approximately $20 million in new orders for tactical networking equipment in September. We have now received about 6 million of these orders and expect the balance to be received and shipped in the second half of the fiscal year. Moving…

Thanks, Brad. Please turn to slide 7, and I will discuss our consolidated operating highlights. Sales increased $20.9 million, or 6.7%, to $334.7 million in the quarter compared to last year. The increase was due to higher sales in our defense systems and transportation segments, somewhat offset by lower sales in defense services. FX headwinds impacted sales by $8.7 million in the quarter primarily in our transportation segment due to continued unfavorable comparisons in the British pound. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 78% over last year to $20.1 million with the increase being in our higher margin defense systems and transportation businesses, somewhat offset, again by FX headwinds totaling $1.4 million. R&D expense increased this year to $9 million from $3.5 million last year for new technologies and pre contract costs in our defense systems and transportation segments. For the quarter, we had an operating loss of $4.1 million, which was a 49% improvement over last year's operating loss of $8.1 million. In the quarter, we expensed $8.7 million related to the OneCubic ERP cost compared to $6.5 million last year. We had a net loss in the quarter of $2.9 million compared to $5.4 million last year. Interest expense was $3.5 million in the quarter compared to $1.3 million last year. The higher interest cost is related to borrowings made last year for recent acquisitions. Please turn to slide 8. Transportation sales were up 5% over last year and 12% on a constant currency basis to $131.9 million. During the quarter, we had FX headwinds of $9.2 million. The sales increase was attributable to higher sales on our contract in Sidney for additional systems and services work somewhat offset by lower FX impacted UK sales and slightly lower U.S. sales. Adjusted EBITDA increased 79% to $12 million over last year's…

Thank you, Jay. Now turning to Slide 12, our summary slide, we believe our Goal 2020 strategy is sound, and we are making great progress on winning the customer, NextCity, C4ISR, NextTraining, and OneCubic. We are pleased with the revenue growth in the first quarter. We expect strong organic growth in FY18 with the anticipated New York City air system win, further expansion in the fair collection market with our unique OneAccount technology, and with the transition of the T2C2 program to full rate production. We continue to be successful with our ERP implementation and will complete this project early next fiscal year. Having the data in one place with common processes will drive the efficiency and effectiveness of the Company resulting in additional earnings growth. The combination of transportation organic growth, our reshaped portfolio with higher growth, higher margin C4ISR business and anticipated OneCubic ERP efficiencies, accelerated with new business-friendly policies from President Trump will drive shareholder values strongly in FY18 and beyond. Together, our team continues its intense focus on implementing our strategy and providing superior value to our shareholders and customers. We are very excited for the future, and appreciate your partnership in the Company. Now let's proceed to the Q&A session.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we will be conducting our question and answer session. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Julian Mitchell from Credit Suisse. Please go ahead.

I guess my first question would be around the defense systems business. You had a very good margin expansion there in the quarter. I just wondered if you thought that was driven more by a special sort of one-time mix boost because of what you saw in C4ISR and also air combat, or do you think we should see the margins overall in that segment this year up versus 2016?

We expect the margins to continue to be good throughout the remainder of the year. As you know, our acquisitions in C4ISR are in the mid-teens, and that's very helpful to increase the margin overall. And quite frankly, we're working hard at running the business better.

Understood. Thank you. And then within transportation, a better result there than we'd expected. If you look at the UK business in particular, would you anticipate that profits there should be up over the balance of the year, year-on-year assuming no big currency move from here?

This is Jay Thomas. Yes, we would. And part of that is last year's -- if you remember last year, the first quarter was really depressed because we had some extra cost in that quarter. So you take that out, and I think year-over-year, it'll definitely be up.

Understood. And I'm assuming, as I didn't see much comments around it, but the full year overall firm-wide targets you'd laid out on the Q4 call, are you reiterating all of those today?

Yes.

Great. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of -- I am sorry, excuse me -- our next question comes from the line of Jim Ricchiuti from Needham & Company. Please go ahead.

Maybe just to follow up on that last question, Jay, is there any change in the cadence in terms of how we see the year unfolding? I mean, you talked about your prior full-year guidance being pretty heavily back-end loaded, so I assume that's still the case, correct?

Yes, that is still the case.

Okay. Brad, I wanted to just ask you a question. We're, what, at a one-year anniversary on the acquisitions, and I wanted to just get your perspective on how they've performed relative to your expectations for GATR and TeraLogics when you acquired both companies a year ago.

TeraLogics is doing extremely well. It's exceeding expectations. GATR is in line with expectations. And you'll remember that the big boost there is this program of record, T2C2, so we're in development testing now, and that will proceed to full rate production. The government is projected to buy hundreds of terminals, and some people are talking larger numbers than that over the next few years.

Okay, so it sounds like it's performed on the margin, looking at both of them together, a little better than expected?

Yes, as you put the two together, yes.

Okay. Any update with respect to the timing on the New York City contract? It sounds like you're expecting second half of the fiscal year. Is there any risk that that gets pushed out, the award?

I don't see any risk in it not happening this fiscal year. I think there's certainty on that. They're adding requirements to the contract as we speak, so we're working through that. It's a good thing. I think the reason we said the second half is it's hard for us to predict if it's June or it slides into July or whatever. But we're very savvy about the award this year.

Okay. And Jay, with respect to pre-contract expense, anything we should be thinking about over the next couple of quarters as you get closer to this award that spending might be higher?

Yes, I think we built into our guidance a fairly big bump in our R&D, so we would give an update if that's going to change. I think right now we're well within -- we're going to be within kind of what we've projected. So if this slips into the fourth quarter, then we might have to readdress the number.

Okay. And last question. Just -- Brad, as they add components to this and have additional requests, does this change your expectations for the size of this contract? How has that changed as you entered into the pursuit of this business? Has it gotten larger? Are you expecting this now, this award, to be potentially bigger than you thought a year or two ago?

I think it'll be about the same. When we talk about New York City, it's everything within the region. So over time, it'll be $1 billion. I can't tell you exactly what year that revenue will happen, but that's what we think about.

Okay. Thanks very much.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mark Strouse from JP Morgan. Please go ahead.

So kind of a follow-up to Jim's question, not necessarily in regards to NYC, but just in general in transportation market, are you seeing any delays in the bidding or the RFP processes because of the new administration and their push for infrastructure? I'm just thinking, for example, a certain municipality might delay implementing a system a quarter or two just with the hope of getting some federal funds to help them.

Yes, in the case of New York, they've teed up their funding already. There is one large bid that we're working on that we don't expect to have a decision this year. Well, we could get a decision, but it'll look like it'll have some funding, and that's Boston. Most of the other ones are really in our pipeline, say, when you look out into fiscal years '19 and '20 that might get a benefit from anything out of the new administration.

But in general, we haven't seen any delays and we're very savvy about -- we think we have a technological edge with one account, and we think that will help us greatly. And we hope we win them all.

Got it. Okay, thank you. And then for the C4ISR business, should we still think of that as approximately an $200 million run rate business? And what is the impact from Vocality to that number?

Yes, so it's around $200 million, maybe a little bit more. Vocality was $10-ish million, and we expect that to grow.

Got it, okay. Thank you very much, guys.

Thank you. [Operator Instruction] Our next question comes from the line of Brian Ruttenbur, Drexel Hamilton. Please go ahead.

Yes, thank you very much. Couple of follow-up questions on defense services, the margins were weak in the quarter. Is that a seasonal weakness, or do you expect services to come back? And is that services going to come back dependent on moves within the Trump administration on readiness?

Yes, so I would say historically the first quarter in that business is the weakest quarter. Part of that's seasonality because you have more holidays that quarter. I would say, and generally speaking, they do have some cost pressures in that business because of the LPTA. So if we start to see more work coming through, then we could see some margin improvements. But there's no eminent change here for the next couple quarters.

Okay. And just to better understand on the services side at least, the defense services, should we see better profitability in the second quarter because of seasonality then if nothing else changes?

Yes.

Okay. And then about cadence -- this was asked a little bit already -- but we should see from where we are in terms of earnings, the negative GAAP earnings, we should start seeing profitability from second quarter on? Is that correct?

Yes, I'm not -- because we don't give quarter-by-quarter guidance, I won't kind of answer that specifically. A lot of it has to do with as we're -- if you think about what's happening is if we have a good shipment quarter on the product businesses, that really drives the EPS. Kind of offsetting that is this ERP spend, which is obviously impacting our EPS. So if we have a really large shipment of sort of IDIQ-related stuff, you're going to have one quarter look better than the other quarter.

Okay. In terms of backlog, it was down, is that just because of seasonality, or is there -- we've been hearing about some delays or some concerns out there just because of a new administration coming in and maybe a slowdown in awards. Was any of that impacting you guys in the period?

So backlog -- transportation business, you saw a really strong, really positive fourth quarter. Theirs is very lumpy. In the defense systems business, we're seeing more and more IDIQ, so you're getting task orders, so you're not getting multiyear, longer-term contracts. And then in services, it's definitely been impacted by the budget because there are contracts that, once they have a budget, they can give us a multiyear contract. It won't be fully funded, but we can at least get the award underway. So it's a bunch of things.

And Brian, by the end of the year, we expect a book-to-bill ratio to be above 1.

Great, so the end of the fiscal year, 1 or better. And then the guidance is unchanged, the 1.5 billion to 1.55 billion, EPS GAAP of 40 to 80. Is that still a right ballpark?

Yes.

Great. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we have no further questions in queue at this time. I would like to turn the floor back over to Mr. Brad Feldmann for closing comments.
