Thank you very much, John, and good morning everyone. Welcome to this morning’s conference call, where both Federici and I will be reviewing West’s Q1 2013 performance and our outlook for the remainder of the year. As in past calls, we will refer to a PowerPoint slide deck to support our commentary. The deck can be accessed via our website under Investors. However, if you cannot access the file, the information in the slides is covered in both this morning’s release and our prepared remarks. Beginning with slide number three, West had a very good first quarter with consolidated revenues increasing 7.2% to just over $339 million, excluding currency effects as a result of ongoing strong demand in both operating segments. Sales in the packaging system segment grew by 6.6% and delivery systems grew by 9.1%, again excluding the effects of currency. Our consolidated gross margin for the quarter improved to 1 core percentage point to 32.9%, and adjusted operating profit improved by $1 million when compared with the prior year. Operating profit growth was offset by the combined effects of an increase in SG&A and R&D spending, an increase in variable stock-based incentive compensation, and Venezuela’s currency devaluation. For the quarter, adjusted earnings per share were $0.87, an improvement of $0.04 versus the first quarter of 2012. Additional segment details are provided on slide number four. Pharmaceutical packaging sales were again driven by volume growth, a positive mix bolstered by higher sales of our advanced packaging products such as Westar ready-to-use components, FluroTec, and Envision, and higher selling prices in key product lines. Delivery system sales grew as a result of strong demand for contract manufacturing services with existing healthcare customers, orders for CZ vials and cartridges, and proprietary devices for reconstitution and safety. Overall sales of proprietary systems…

Thank you, Don, and good morning everyone. We issued our first quarter results this morning, reporting net income of $31.7 million or $0.90 per diluted share versus the $0.81 per diluted share we reported in the first quarter of ‘12. Our first-quarter results are summarized on slide three in the accompanying PowerPoint presentation and in the release. As explained in the release, excluding the effects of one-time items in both periods, our first-quarter 2013 earnings were $0.87 per diluted share versus the $0.83 we earned in Q1 2012. Turning to sales, slide seven shows the components of our consolidated sales increase. Consolidated first quarter sales were $339.4 million, an increase of 7.2% over first quarter 2012 sales, excluding exchange. Packaging systems sales increased 6.6% over the same quarter 2012 sales excluding exchange effects. Sales price increases in packaging systems contributed approximately 2.4 percentage points of the increase. The majority of our sales increases is attributed to the favorable mix of products sold that are high-value products growing 11.2% over the prior year first quarter. We continue to experience very strong demand in Europe, where sales increased 10.3% at constant exchange rates over Q1 2012, leading to longer lead times and growth in our sales backlog. Delivery systems sales increased by 9.1% or $7.4 million over sales in the prior year quarter, excluding exchange. Crystal Zenith product sales were $3 million above Q1 2012 level. Much of the CZ sales increase was driven by cartridge samples provided for a customer sponsored clinical trial. Sales of proprietary products were $22 million or 25% of the segment’s revenue in the quarter, ahead of the prior year quarter’s 21%. As provided on slide eight, our consolidated gross profit margin for Q1 2013 was 32.9% versus the 31.9% margin we achieved in the first quarter…

Thank you very much, Bill. This concludes our prepared remarks for this morning, and we now look forward to answering any questions. Operator?

Thank you. (Operator instructions) And your first question is from Arnold Ursaner at CJS Securities. Please go ahead Arnold. Arnold Ursaner – CJS Securities: Hi, good morning.

Hi, good morning Arnie. Arnold Ursaner – CJS Securities: Don, I guess my first question relates to the margin year-over-year, last year in Q1 you highlighted you had an inventory build for a customer, you never quantified the revenue impact, but we are pretty aware that when you have an inventory build for a customer it can be a 25% incremental operating margin, so yet your high-value sales were up 11% year-over-year. If we were to exclude that one time inventory build for the customer, can you give us a better sense for what the actual growth would have been excluding that item?

The actual growth Arnie would be still in that kind of – a couple of points less than that. So instead of the 6.6% we had in the packaging systems segment, it would be between one and two points less than that. But remember, the one point to remember Arnie is we have those kinds of situations happen every year in every quarter. We did have as you mentioned a launch of a customer’s new biologic [class] first quarter that stretched into the second. But we have had, not as large, but we have had some of those similar kinds of things happen again this quarter. So to just pull out the launch last year would be somewhat of a misnomer. Arnold Ursaner – CJS Securities: I’m sorry. Then I misunderstood you. Did you actually have a sizeable inventory build launch this year as well?

No, no, no. None are [built], but we will have new products that are coming online as well.

I think if you extract the impact of the build in Q1 of 2012, the revenue increase would actually look more favorable this quarter. Arnold Ursaner – CJS Securities: I guess what I’m trying to say, let me try one more time, last year my perception was you had 8 million or 10 million of one-time revenue from an inventory build at very high margin. I am thinking that 2.35 you have last year on an adjusted basis in packaging was probably more like 2.30, may be even less than that, the 2.50 relative to that is a much higher rate of growth?

It wasn’t quite that high when that happened, yes. Arnold Ursaner – CJS Securities: Okay. Let us see – just going back on the pharma delivery systems, you mentioned you had several thousand SmartDose units sold – that were sold for clinical trials, my perception is they go for about $40 or $50 per clip, and are at very high margin, is that the right way to think about that?

The total sales are – when they are – the total sample is exactly that. It is in – and it is not quite $40 to $50, but it is $30 to $50 per unit. Arnold Ursaner – CJS Securities: Okay.

It is actually not in Q1.

It is not in Q1 Arnie. So those numbers – the way you got to look at it is we have made the – actually sent the trial units over to the customer. So we will be recognizing that revenue over a period of time.

But the recognition per unit that we ship will actually be in Q2. Arnold Ursaner – CJS Securities: Got it. And my final question relates to Vetter building up their capacity, and you are building up your capacity to do the needed testing on various CZ? Can you update us on the status of that?

Yes, basically we have got the line in [Robin’s board] up validated and Vetter is running that line dedicated to CZ. We have not had the second unit delivered yet, which will go into the Chicago facility. So if you would remember better, Chicago facility is really aimed at clinical trial volume to support activity here in the United States. So we have got roughly 5 million to 6 million units go into capacity off the line in Germany, and the line in Chicago should come on sometime in the late 2014, early 2015 timeframe. Arnold Ursaner – CJS Securities: Okay. I guess one more real quick, your SG&A in 2012 in Q2 had the Analyst Day expense, you haven’t announced an Analyst Day for this year, I don’t know if you are planning to, but should we get the benefit of not having that in the comp year-over-year?

Yes, it will be small, but you actually will get the benefit. The Q1 SG&A was driven by a couple of odd things. I mean you had the rise in the stock price and the impact on our variable incentive comp. The Venezuela thing hit us to the tune of about [700] in the other category. And we did have some expenses in advance of our global sales meeting that hits in the first quarter as well. If you look at SG&A as a percent of sales, we expect that to decline through the rest of the year and by the end of the year, our overall SG&A growth will be less than our rate of sales growth. Arnold Ursaner – CJS Securities: I will jump back. Thanks.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you. We have another question for you. This one is from Ross Taylor, CL King. Please go ahead. Ross Taylor – CL King: Hi, wondering if you could give any color on the clinical trial the just got under way for CZ, I mean any color as to when that trial might be completed, just timing or any other parameters.

That trial is under way and covered by customer confidentiality.

Confidentiality Ross prevents us from saying anymore. Ross Taylor – CL King: Okay. I understand. And the CZ revenue from the cartridges that I think Bill mentioned in his prepared remarks, are those related to the clinical trial, or is that something different?

It is different. It gets integrated into this micro system. But we realized very little margin out of that because it is actually done by our (inaudible) partners. Ross Taylor – CL King: Okay, okay. And I may have missed it with some of your earlier remarks, but did inventory stocking have much impact on revenues in the quarter or is that pretty much over do you think at this point?

We think it continues to help. We just can’t put our hands around the magnitude. You know, clearly we got a little bit of safety ordering going on in some of the high-value categories because of lead time. But it is difficult to quantify in total of that inventory building in any given quarter.

I think, Ross, I mentioned the European business was up 10.3% excluding exchange. That had some of that inventory build due to a very long lead time situation over in Europe. So, you know, exact quantification, as you know, is very, very difficult for us, but there is some of that in there. Ross Taylor – CL King: Okay, that helps, and my last question on slide 13 in the deck on your website, one of the bullet points you say that certain proprietary product sales expectation had higher risk, is that any change in your thinking or is that kind of status quo, you know, how you have been thinking the last few quarters?

Yes, it is pretty much status quo. We are just trying to point out the fact that it is really difficult to predict the timing of some of these things. They are lumpy because once we deliver our end of the equation, it is fully up to the customer in terms of the timing of launch, the timing of trials et cetera. Ross Taylor – CL King: Okay. All right. That is all my questions. Thank you.

Thanks Ross.

Thanks Ross.

Thank you. There is no further questions just at this moment in time. (Operator instructions) Okay, no further questions have come for you. So, I would now like to turn back to Don Morel for closing remarks. Please go ahead sir.

Thank you very much everyone. We’re off to a good start, and we expect to keep quarter two in line with our quarter one based on our backlog, and look forward to updating you on our Q2 call in early August. Thank you.
