Hi everyone. Thank you for joining our first quarterly earnings conference call as a NASDAQ-listed public company. Our Initial Public Offering on November 2nd was an important milestone for our Company. It enhances our brand and it increases our transparency. This will help us extend our market leadership position. Turning to Slide 4, we are very pleased to report a record quarter with robust financial and operating results, as you can see on slide four. Let’s move on to Slide 5 that highlights our sales achievement. We have added nearly 70% to our total area committed year-over-year. This accelerating growth is primarily driven by strong demand from cloud service providers, which has taken off as gigantic companies like Alibaba and Tencent have made it their strategic priority. From what we know about our customers and where they are at, there is a long runway ahead and incremental demand is huge. We are just in the early stages of cloud development here in China. In addition, we won two significant new customers which add to our outstanding portfolio of market-leading customers. One is a top-tier Internet giant in China and the other is a top-three technology company from the US. We also won substantial new business from our existing customers. Turning to our data centers on Slide 6, our construction plan is moving forward smoothly, on schedule and within budget. Our current projects will add around 37 thousand square meters of capacity, which is already nearly 35% pre-committed. We continue to look for opportunities to increase capacity to meet growing demand. In closing, I’m thrilled about the tremendous data center opportunities in China and the rapidly escalating demand we are seeing from our Internet, E-commerce and Cloud customers. As a first-mover and market pioneer in China, we are well positioned to capture the opportunities, grow the business and deliver shareholder value. With that, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Dan Newman, who will discuss our financial results and additional key operating metrics.

Thank you, William, and hello everyone. Slide 8 summarizes our third quarter results. Service revenue grew by 57% year-over-year and 14% sequentially in the third quarter of 2016. Our adjusted EBITDA margin hit 26.2%, a sign of our operating leverage. On Slide 9, you will see the total area committed increased 70% year-over-year and 31% sequentially to 58 thousand square meters. Total area utilized increased 63% year-over-year and 7% sequentially to 34 thousand square meters. As a result of the strong sales growth, contract backlog (the difference between area committed and utilized) nearly doubled. Contract backlog is an important metric as it provides visibility to our future revenue growth. Out of our 24 thousand square meter backlog as of September 30, 2016, around 11 thousand square meters relate to area already in service and 13 thousand square meters relate to area under construction. Based on minimum contractual commitments, the backlog will be largely delivered within the next four to five quarters. We always plan on the basis of contractual minimums, but in practice, we consistently see our customers moving in ahead of schedule. Average Selling Price (ASP) for the backlog, as measured per square meter, is in-line with what we are achieving for our current revenue-generating space. At this point, I’d like to update you on a customer development. We recently became aware that one of our customers intends to terminate its contracts with us as a result of a merger between the customer and one of its competitors in China. This customer represented 3.7% of our total area committed and 3.6% of our area utilized, as of September 30, 2016, and was based in our Shanghai number one and two data centers. We are working through the details, but we expect the customer to terminate either at the very…
