Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. My name is John Van Vlack and I’m the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Ocwen.
Before we begin, I want to remind you that a slide presentation is available to accompany our remarks. To access the slides, log onto our website at www.ocwen.com, select Shareholder Relations, then under Events and Presentations you will see the date and time for the Ocwen Financial Fourth Quarter 2011 Earnings. Click on it and register. When done, click on Access Event, click on how you wish to listen to the event, Adobe Flashplayer or Windows Media. Each viewer will be able to control the progression of the slides during the presentation. To move the slides ahead, please click on the grey button on the bottom of the page pointing to the right.
As indicated on Slide 2, our presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of Federal Securities Laws. These forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or by use of forward-looking terminology. They may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
For an elaboration of the factors that may cause such a difference, please refer to the Risks Disclosure statement in today’s earnings release as well as the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Ocwen’s Form F3, first, second and third quarter 2011 Form 10-Qs, and 2010 Form 10-K. If you’d like to receive our news releases, SEC filings or other materials via email, please contact Linda Ludwig at linda.ludwig@ocwen.com.
Our presentation also contains references to normalized results, which are non-GAAP performance measures. We believe these non-GAAP performance measures may provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. Non-GAAP performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company’s reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
As indicated on Slide 3, joining me for today’s presentation are Bill Erbey, Chairman of Ocwen; Ron Faris, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ocwen; and John Britti, Executive Vice President.
Now, we will turn the call over to Bill Erbey. Bill?
