Now, I would like to introduce Matt Mannelly, CEO; and Ron Lombardi, CFO. Matthew M. Mannelly - President, Chief Executive Officer & Director: Good morning. Thank you, Dean, and thank you, everyone, for joining us this morning. We appreciate it. As Dean said, as we usually do, we will be operating of a PowerPoint presentation. So with that, I'll ask you to move to slide 3. The agenda for today will be – I will talk about the fourth quarter FY 2015 highlights. I'll also step back and talk a little bit about the year since this is a year-end. Ron then will step in and give you a little more detail on the financial overview as well as take you through the FY 2016 outlook and the road ahead, which is appropriate given the transition. So with that, I'll ask you to turn to slide 5. I think for us, obviously, we're very pleased with the fourth quarter results. I think as importantly, we're very excited about the business fundamentals, and how we achieved those results, we'll talk a little bit about. But our Q4 revenue of $190 million is up almost 33% versus the prior year. Our organic growth on a constant currency basis is up 2.4%, which as the second quarter in a row, we come in very strong. Our core OTC consumption growth excluding PediaCare is up 7%, and total core OTC is up 3.3%, and as importantly, which I'll talk about a little bit later on, we've really seen broad-based growth across the entire core OTC portfolio. In addition, we continue to make progress on the gross margin front, and you can see that we're up almost three points versus the gross margin last year's fourth quarter and we're also up 0.7 versus the third quarter which we're quite pleased with. In terms of earnings per share of $0.47, it's up over 34% versus the prior year, and I think the statistic that we always talk about that's just really critical into our success and our foundation is our free cash flow. And our adjusted free cash flow of over $50 million is up 45% versus the fourth quarter last year and that takes our leverage down to 5.2, which is already down a half a term since the acquisition six months ago. So again, that continues to be critical to our success and that strong cash flow continues to be important to us. In terms of the kind of a little bit of a why, we have consistently, in good times and bad, spent money behind marketing to support brand building programs and it's achieved results for us. A couple of examples, Clear Eyes, for the very first time this quarter achieved number one market share in the redness segment, which is huge for us. A solid cough/cold season, all right, coming off a very poor one year before, not only a solid cough/cold season, but you can see Chloraseptic and Luden's gained over four share points, and that was driven primarily through digital marketing where we've been spending more and more money and we're obviously getting the bang for the buck. And finally, Little Remedies continues to have very strong consumption gains across all segments and that's as a result of really an integrated program in terms of TV and digital marketing support. So with that, if you turn to slide 6, like I said, I'd like to step back and take a moment and just take a look at the total year FY 2015 in review. And on slide 7, I think what I'd say is FY 2015 was a year of great execution for us in terms of focusing on the value creation drivers that contribute to our success. First and foremost, and I'll talk about each of these a little bit more, organic growth in our core OTC and international, we continue to put focus behind it. It continues to yield dividends for us. I'd also want to talk about the fact that our portfolio, if you look at how our portfolio has worked over time and the results it's achieving, we're really doing exactly what we've said we were going to do. Third, from a margin standpoint, we continue to gain gross margin, and again, as we've said throughout, our bottom-line EBITDA margin is terrific. We want to take that gross margin expansion and continue to reinvest it in the business and we've been doing that with some success. Fourth is our free cash flow, which has been very consistent, and as I said, increasing over $50 million this quarter. And then finally, if you step back and look at all our FY 2015, again, our proven and repeatable M&A strategy with two acquisitions this year certainly contributed to our success. But if you look at those things in terms of, first, how they contributed to FY 2015's success, the second thing to note is they also put us in a very strong position for FY 2016 and beyond. With that, if you turn to slide 8 to go through a little bit in terms of our growth trends, the top part is consumption, consumer takeaway. The bottom part of the chart is shipments. And you can see on the left-hand side is FY 2012, FY 2013, FY 2014 and FY 2015, you can see FY 2015 was a very strong year for both consumption growth and shipment growth. And as importantly, you can see on the right-hand side of the chart, it shows what happened by quarter and how our growth has accelerated both in terms of consumption and shipments throughout the year, and the third quarter and fourth quarter had been extremely strong for us. With that, if you'll turn to slide 9, and I referenced this earlier, the fact that our core OTC growth has been very broad-based and it's really been led by some of our largest brands. So we got growth across the portfolio, and 84% of our OTC portfolio had consumption growth in FY 2015, which we're very pleased with. On the right-hand side, if you look at some of our largest brands, you can see how well they're doing from a year-over-year sales growth number. In addition, you can see how those numbers are increasing as the year has gone on. So, as I've said, the fundamentals are very strong as we head into FY 2016. Slide 10, again, I referenced this earlier about achieving the desired results. I think it's important if you step back to a few years ago, we talked about our core OTC portfolio represented 66% of our revenue. So, our core OTC portfolio and our international business now represent 78% of our portfolio. That's a significant change over the last few years, and that's really the part of the portfolio we're now investing in for growth for the future. And you can see FY 2015 at organic growth excluding PediaCare was plus 2.9% in the investment area and nearly flat in the manage for cash area, leading to 2% organic growth for the full fiscal year excluding PediaCare. Turning to slide 11, again, in terms of how we're supporting the business, that margin expansion is really helping us. Our margin expansion and our G&A synergies with our acquisitions is what's helping us increase our A&P. And if you look at just five years ago where we spent less than $40 million, this year, we're spending about $100 million in A&P, and we believe that's the right thing to do in terms of building brand equity for the long-term. Slide 12, just a couple of examples of areas that we're focusing on in terms of our marketing spend. I think the first that we've talked about quite a bit is we really believe that the pipeline for new products and what we've done the last couple of years that we're just getting started, and if you look at some of the latest introductions, Dramamine Naturals was just introduced and we're seeing strong success already. And you can see Compound W we had a new introduction that came in the fourth quarter as well, as well as some things with Fiber Choice, Goody's and Little Remedies. So, this is an area that we brought focus to over the last couple years. We had success in FY 2015 as a result of it. And more importantly, we really are well-positioned for FY 2016 and FY 2017 with regards to new and innovative product. In terms of marketing support in the marketplace, we've had terrific success in terms of this year, in-store merchandising on Luden's specifically, which has led to terrific growth, off-shelf merchandising. And we've also had terrific success in terms of leveraging our sports marketing assets specifically Dale Earnhardt Jr. to get us merchandising in store that has led to continued success for Goody's as well. And then finally, we've talked about in previous calls about expanding our marketing toolkit, and no longer being a company that really is one dimensional, but doing things from a marketing, from a TV, from a sports marketing, from a digital marketing standpoint, and we continue to do that and expand that toolkit across all of our key brands. Slide 13 is Little Remedies, and Little Remedies had a terrific year and we believe Little Remedies' differentiation really positions it well for long-term success. Little Remedies will be our lead pediatric brand moving forward because of that differentiation in the marketplace versus the competitive brands. And you can see the growth that new products has helped deliver for Little Remedies, as well as we've done quite a bit of digital advertising around Little Remedies for really the last five years. And you can see the consumption trends, latest 20 weeks of plus, almost 4% and latest 12-week consumption trends for Little Remedies up nearly 9%. So we're quite pleased with the momentum of Little Remedies, we're also quite pleased in the competitive environment how Little Remedies' point of difference and differentiation versus the competition is resonating so strong with the consumers. Slide 14, we talked about this on the last call. We really have spent a lot of time and money candidly in FY 2015 in terms of learning about our fem hygiene platform that we bought six months ago. And we really believe that learning is going to position us quite well for our first $100 million brand. And specifically, we have a new ad campaign, TV ad campaign that kicks off this quarter. And I think the consumer insights that we found that will really be important as we move forward are Monistat's prescription strength cure without a prescription, so you can get it really on demand. And the second thing that resonates with consumer is the relief starts curing right on contact. So, those are going to be some of the key messages that we'll be getting out there. And as we've said, we also have kicked off and we're just at ACOG, which is one of the major trade shows for the healthcare industry two weeks ago, we are developing very strong relationships with the healthcare professional community, employing a sales force and doing quite a bit with that group that we intend to commit to for the long-term and we believe will really be pivotal to our long-term success for Monistat. Turning to slide 15, as I said previously, again, that cash flow is really critical to our success. If you look in the upper right-hand corner, we really delivered significantly more free cash flow this year than we gave guidance to at the start of the year and we ended up with $164 million in free cash flow in FY 2015. That exceptional free cash flow has allowed us to pay down debt and in a significant way. And you can see here which we do for similar type acquisitions in the future that we have done in the past, we would have approximately $1.5 billion of traditional debt capacity available by the end of this year. That – to put it in perspective, that $1.5 billion is the aggregate amount more than the aggregate amount of our two largest acquisitions. So, we are building significant capacity for M&A. Slide 16 talks a little bit about M&A in terms of – this has really been critical to our success. I think it's – I keep using the words it's proven and it's repeatable, and we're doing it in a very favorable M&A environment that continues to be very favorable as you can see with what's going on over the last few weeks in the OTC and the healthcare business. As I said, we completed six acquisitions in the last five years for total enterprise value of about $2 billion. And as Ron will talk about at the end, we'll continue to be aggressive and disciplined in our M&A strategy moving forward. If you turn to slide 17, I like this slide and really the next slide because it helps really put in perspective how our portfolio had morphed over the last five years. So, you can see the first slide on 17 says, well, what were our key brands and the key category platforms which we participated in back five years ago, and you can see the brands in there. If you turn to slide 18, you can really see how that's changed dramatically. And I think the conclusions are, number one, we're building a great portfolio. And second of all, it really talks to the power of the portfolio. So, I'd give you a couple examples. Clear Eyes, we've had great success with Clear Eyes in the C-Store channel this year in particular because of our portfolio and the strength of BC and Goody's in that C-Store portfolio. The second example is, as we've said, PediaCare, with the return of the competing brands, has had a rough year but the thing to note is given the power and size of our portfolio, no one brand can drive our portfolio success over the course of a year. It's really the power of the entire portfolio that determines our success, so we're excited about that. Slide 19, I think the strategy has clearly delivered strong financial performance. You can see our sales CAGR of about 20% per year. Our EPS and free cash flow CAGR of about 23% per year over the last four years to five years, we're very proud of and believe we can continue to deliver the results over the long-term. So with that, I'll turn it over to Ron.
