Greetings, and welcome to the ServisFirst Bancshares second quarter earnings call. (Operator Instructions) As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.
I would now like to turn the conference over to Davis Mange, Director of Investor Relations. Thank you, Davis. You may begin.
Good afternoon, and welcome to our second-quarter earnings call. We will have Tom Broughton, our CEO; Jim Harper, our Chief Credit Officer; and David Sparacio, our CFO, covering some highlights from the quarter, and then we'll take your questions.
I'll now cover our forward-looking statements disclosure. Some of the discussion in today's earnings call may include forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ from any projections shared today due to factors described in our most recent 10-K and 10-Q filings.
