Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by. Welcome to today’s LifeVantage Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2016 and First Quarter Fiscal 2017 Earnings Conference.

Scott Van Winkle

Thank you, and good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to LifeVantage Corporation’s conference call to discuss the recently filed fiscal 2016 results and first quarter 2017 results. On the call today from LifeVantage will be prepared remarks from Garry Mauro, Chairman of the Board of Directors; Darren Jensen, Chief Executive Officer; and Mark Jaggi, Chief Financial Officer.

By now, everyone should have access to the earnings release which went out this afternoon at approximately 4:05 p.m. Eastern Time. If you have not received the release, it’s available on the Investor Relations portion of LifeVantage’s website at lifevantage.com. This call is being webcast and a replay will be available on the Company’s website as well.

Before we begin, we’d like to remind everyone that our prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements and management may make additional forward-looking statements in response to your questions. These statements do not guarantee future performance and, therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon them. These statements are based on current expectations of the management and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the Risk Factors sections of LifeVantage’s most recently filed Form 10-Q and 10-K.

These risk factors contain a more detailed discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Please note that during today’s call we’ll discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including results on an adjusted basis. Management believes these financial measures can facilitate a more complete analysis and greater transparency into LifeVantage’s ongoing results of operations, particularly when comparing underlying results from period-to-period. We’ve included a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures with today’s release.

This call also contains time-sensitive information that is accurate only as of the date of this live broadcast, December 12, 2016. LifeVantage assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking projections that may be made in today’s release or call. Based on the number of participants on today’s call, during the Q&A session, we ask that you please limit the number of your questions to three.

Now, I will turn the call over to the Company’s CEO, Darren Jensen.

Darren Jensen

Thanks Scott and good afternoon, everyone. Let me begin by acknowledging that this has been a long process, longer than we had anticipated to report on our fiscal 2016 results and filed our 10-K and first quarter 10-Q, both of which were filed this afternoon. With today’s SEC filings, we are again current with our financial reporting and in compliance with our Zions Bank credit line. We expect that these filings will also bring us back into compliance with NASDAQ listing rules. While we experienced a delay in our financial reporting and understand our shareholders’ concern over the length of time this process took, I can assure you that we’ve remained focused on our day-to-day operations, supporting both our distributors and customers. I’m pleased to report that the audit committee review is now complete and we can begin to refocus our investors’ attention on our business performance and growth objectives.
