Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us to talk through our second-quarter results and what is a busy bank earnings day. As always, the earnings release and presentation are posted on the Investor Relations section of bankofamerica.com, and we'll reference those materials during the call. Before we begin, a quick reminder that during the call, we may make forward-looking statements and refer to non-GAAP financial measures. These measures reflect management's current views and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which are outlined along with the relevant GAAP reconciliations in our earnings materials and our SEC filings on our website.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Brian Moynihan, our CEO.
