Thanks Bob. I’m pleased to announce a strong start to 2016, with another great quarter of performance and execution. In the first quarter, we generated total revenue of $33.8 million, up 40% year over year. We built on our track record of operational execution with another quarter of strong end user growth, adding approximately 500,000 users and exiting the quarter with approximately 6.8 million registered end users, representing 31% year over year growth and up 7% sequentially. Once again, the users we added were a result of organic growth in our existing base and the continued installation of new customers. I’m particularly proud of the successful implementation of Citizens Equity First Credit Union or CEFCU, a Top 25 Credit Union. CEFCU signed in the second quarter of 2015 and we were able to take them live in less than nine months, further evidencing our ability to implement customers of this magnitude on time and on budget. And the customer is pleased with our implementation effort and happy with the product. Adding new customers is important to the business; cross-selling to our existing customers is also a key driver. On that note, the first quarter was a record setting cross-sell quarter for us as customers continued to adopt new products and extend their contract terms. This record sales performance is an encouraging sign that our customers continue believe in our strategic direction and our ability to deliver innovation. Moving on from cross sales, inventors are often curious about the merger and acquisition activity in our space. And while we’ve been the recipient of more end users than we’ve lost through acquisitions, I’d like to share a story about one of our customers who was acquired by a larger financial institution in 2015 as it provides another example of how our platform continues to create value in our marketplace. This customer, a $4 billion bank, was acquired by another larger institution using a separate core and digital banking system. The vast majority of the time in this situation, the larger institution typically collapses the acquired institution’s technology into their existing systems. In this case, we were able to demonstrate the value of our platform and displace the front end solution of the larger institution. This was a big win for Q2 and I’m proud of the team and all their efforts in telling our story and bringing users live on the platform. To book in the delivery execution and cross sell commentary from the quarter, I’d also like to mention that we had a good start to the year in the credit union market in what is seasonally a slow quarter, signing more credit unions than we’ve ever signed in a first quarter. I want to thank our customers for continuing to provide great references and NAFCU for their partnership in helping us maintain our momentum in the credit union space. I’d now like to give a few important highlights and observations from CONNECT, our annual customer conference, which concluded last week. As many of you know, CONNECT is a great opportunity to get face to face with our customer base in order to better understand how we can meet their needs today and into the future. We had record attendance across the board at this year’s CONNECT with over 500 attendees representing customers, prospects and partners. Clearly, CONNECT has become a premier digital banking event in our industry. At CONNECT, we announced several new product offerings and there was particular excitement around two specific products that represent significant expansions of the platform’s analytics and corporate banking capabilities. The first is our analytics-driven marketing platform called, [Q2 Smart]. As branch traffic declines, banks and credit unions are increasingly challenged to understand the needs of their account holder base and consequently how to establish lifelong relationships and cross-sell their products and services. Q2 Smart is designed to help customers address this challenge by providing them with a recommendation engine, a marketing automation tool, and a robust reporting suite, all built natively on the Q2 platform and powered by the wealth of data generated by 6.8 million users. Building on the behavioral analytics model of our risk and fraud solution, Q2 Smart will help our customers better understand their account holders, more effectively market their products and ultimately help FIs drive new revenue. We’ve developed this product in close partnership with many of our customers and I’m excited to mention that financial institutions, large and small, will be taking Q2 Smart to market with us. And I’ll continue to provide updates on our progress as this product enters general availability. During the conference, we also announced a second major iteration of our treasury solution called corporate banking. As modern technology and user expectations continue to transform the way businesses are run, banking technology for those businesses must evolve as well. Our corporate banking offering harnesses the modern architecture of the Q2 platform and its delivery represents a pace of innovation that legacy competitors will find hard to match. Developed with native touchscreen design, our corporate banking suite is completely functional across thousands of modern devices and browsers, a major differentiator for Q2 and a powerful weapon for our customers to compete for valuable commercial accounts. As with Q2 Smart, we’re seeing strong early traction with this product with several customers already in flight and more to come. In summary, the organization continued to execute on multiple fronts. We added almost 500,000 registered users to the Q2 platform, cross-sold products at a record pace and had a solid start to the year in the credit union market. I’m energized by this strong start to the year and we’ll look to continue building on this momentum through 2016 and beyond. With that, I’ll hand the call over to Jennifer.
