Thank you good morning, everyone. Thank you for participating in our second quarter earnings Conference call I would like to review our disclosures cautioning investors on participants, but in addition to statements of historical facts, we will be discussing forward looking statements, reflecting our expectations and plans about our future.

Orman and future business opportunities all forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which maybe out of our control and may cause actual results to differ materially.

Such risks include changes in economic condition changes on the competitive and market landscape, including impact of global trade discussions and policy management of growth timing and magnitude of future orders and contract fluctuations of margins the introduction of new products and technologies and other important factor.

There's as noted in detailed in our 10-K and 10-Q SEC filings.

With that let me highlight some of the financial results for the second quarter and built and year to date of fiscal 2020, and the related time comparisons to fiscal 2019.

As a reminder, fiscal 2020 of the 53 week year and fiscal 2019 was a 52 week year. The extra week of fiscal 2020 fell within the first quarter, resulting in a six months ended being 27 weeks versus 26 weeks.

Sales orders in all areas of operating expenses were impacted with the into additional week in a six month comparisons.

For the second quarter overall orders remained relatively flat as compared to last year's second quarter orders increased in the international and High School Park and recreation business units and decrease in the transportation commercial Enlight events business units for the year orders are up 8.9% light investment international orders incur.

Chris which report, partly offset by declines and transportation and high School Park and recreation orders commercial orders were flat year over year.

The volatility of orders timing for large projects in global accounts varies according to the needs of our customers and as the primary reason for changes in the quarterly and year to date comparisons.

Each business unit was impacted by the additional weaken the fiscal 2006 month results for comparison orders pace at $12.5 million per week in fiscal 2020 as compared to $12 million. During the same time last year or about a 4.8% increase.

On a year to date basis, some additional highlights in the business units with the largest level of order changes.

In line events orders increased because of being sick of successfully winning several projects in the active college and University market and winning a multimillion dollar project at a professional baseball stadium.

And the international business units.

We market to customers and geographies outside the U.S, and Canada, including areas like transportation and governmental sports and commercial for the first half of the year. We have had continued success in global and regional autochrome advertising customers as they continue to build out their digital networks and have had continued success in projects for more.

And casinos port complexes and transportation stations around the world.

While high School Park and Recreation is down in orders for the years compared to last year's record level. The market remains active and interested in larger video systems and in standard scoring and audio applications.

Sales for the second quarter fiscal 2020 increased 1.3% and were $175 million as compared to $173 million last year net sales increased in live events transportation at international and decrease in the commercial and high School Park and Rep recreation areas.

This change in sales correlates with change and orders already described and the related timing of these orders and backlog into sales.

On a year to date basis sales were up in all business units due to the increased backlog coming into the year along with the order changes already noted.

For comparison to the 20 726 week six month ended sales revenue pace at $13.2 million per week in fiscal 2020 as compared to $12.6 million. During the same time last year or around a 4.6% increase using this comparison.

Gross profit for the quarter as a percentage of net sales was 22.9% as compared to last years, 24.8%. The drop for the quarterly comparison was the result of additional project delivery costs and tariffs as compared to the last year. During the same quarter tariffs were approximately $1.4 million for the quarter.

Yeah.

Gross profit for the year was 24.1% as compared to 24.8% in fiscal 19, the approximate amount of tariff costs for the six months ended were $3 million as compared to <unk> point $3 million last year at the same time.

Our warranty as a percentage of sales decreased to 2.2% as compared to 2.5% for both the quarterly and annual comparisons.

Operating expenses for the second quarter fiscal 2020 or $35.3 million compared to $33.7 million in the second quarter fiscal 2019, or an increase of 4.5% primarily due to our continued strategic initiative and investing in new products and technology and really.

Latest personnel costs, we are evaluating and engaging in our operational improvements to reduce the efforts of delivery, making investments in tools and systems to support and leverage future growth as well.

On a year to date basis operating expenses.

Have increased 7.7, primarily due to the extra week and continued improved investments and development personnel related expenses and increased marketing efforts.

We calculate the provision for income taxes during the interim periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rates to the year to our to our year to date income or loss, excluding unusual and infrequently occurring discreet items for that reporting period, the effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on changes in tax legislation actual geographic mix.

Taxable income and levels of tax credits as compared to actual tax income.

The effective tax rate benefit for the second quarter fiscal 2020 was 63.8% as compared to an effective tax expense of 5.8% a year earlier.

And 14.5% benefit as compared to the minimal tax rate last year on a year to date basis. This difference and effective tax rate was primarily driven by larger estimated tax credits in relation to the estimated pretax book income in each period.

We estimate an effective tax rate benefit of approximately 14.5% for the rest of fiscal 2020.

Our cash and marketable securities position was up $33 million at the end of the quarter, we use $10 million with cash from operations correlating with the increase in inventory to support production a backlog in future quarters and was primarily attributed to the increase in receivables and contract assets for projects in process at the end of October .

We use $9.7 million for investments in capital for new production system capabilities, and information systems infrastructure and $20.6 million and product development, we is $4.5 million for dividends and $1.7 million for stock repurchases. So far during this year.

We expect capital expenditures to be.

$20 million to $25 million for fiscal 2020.

And to be used primarily for new production equipment for new products related reliability lab equipment and manufacturing facility improvements along with investments in our information technology infrastructure and systems.

Our product backlog EPS is that $182 million, which we expect to convert to sales over the coming two to three quarters.

We expect sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 to be more than last year's third quarter due to the larger backlog, but of course sales could change pending project bookings and customer schedule changes.

I will now I'll turn it over to Reece Kurtenbach, our chairman President and CEO for a few additional comments that you should look good morning, everyone that should all highlighted we had a strong stored for orders in fiscal 20 growing knows the overall market also grows we continue to invest in development and have more solutions to market more.

Like many other US companies, we are in the midst of a dynamic and volatile global trade environment.

We continue to monitor and evaluate this situation for multiple perspectives and we will continue to adjust our sourcing and production methodologies to minimize impact to our customers and to tektronix, while providing high quality high value solutions at a competitive price.

However, in our current view, we estimate the tariffs on components could impose more than 10 million in cost for us this year.

We do remain positive regarding the overall outlook of the business and growth for the industry for fiscal 2020 and beyond.

We predict applications of digital solutions will continue to grow and experience in all business units specifically in international with our establishment of localized sales and service channels, our sales focus on increasing market share in our current outlook on known opportunities, we expect growth in sport auto home.

One caviar does that this business is lumpy, primarily consisting of larger contracts and can be highly competitive creating some variation from year to year.

We expect sustained demand for larger size orders do the adoption of video in sporting applications in the high School Park and recreation market.

And our commercial business unit, we see growth opportunities because of expansion of those solutions of indoor applications.

Continued replacement and new investment activity in the auto home and retail segments.

And opportunities in the spectacular segment.

Mr. Tanker segment includes multimillion dollar projects at our discretionary choices, why customers, which could cause up and down ups and downs and timing and trends.

Thank you good morning, I wanted to ask about the if you could give us a little more color around the increase in product delivery costs was that across all business segments are focused in special segments.

Oh, it was primarily in our segments with the larger projects, so a little bit through live events, a little bit through commercial.

That's probably were the two more significant areas.

Okay got it that's helpful. And then I just wanted to also I guess go into the curves.

Thanks, slightly more than 10 million, so a little bit more pressure than you were expecting one q. I think you were expecting around 10 million on the component pressure.

I think actually it's that's a pretty dynamic area. So at 10 million is probably a conservative area. We're continuing to focus on ways to minimize those costs than in both the components like you mentioned on the pricing there as well as the tariff costs, though.

Maybe I'd say, it's more around the 10 million dollar area and Pat.

Okay. That's great. Among one more final thing can you just talk a little bit about warranty expense I think we're starting to anniversary some more normalized warranty expenses I just kind of how we should we think about that going forward.
