Good morning, and thank you for joining us for our second quarter Conference call.
Turning to our Q2 results today at home is reporting net income of $72.8 million or $1.42 per share an increase of 118% over Q2 of 2020.
We're very pleased with these results.
Factors that contributed to this achievement include.
The housing market, leading to healthy top line growth.
Disciplined expense management.
In our release credit provisions this year compared to the increase in credit provisions one year ago.
Brian will have more detail on the financial results in this presentation.
Today I'd like to talk to updating you on the lending restrictions were put in place at the start of the pandemic last year.
We've used some of our activities during the quarter.
To give you a sense of our expectations for the balance of the year.
We spoke last quarter about our lending restrictions and the adjustments to our risk appetite we put in place at the time from the initial lockdown.
Throughout the second quarter economic data became more positive we gradually return to our pre pandemic risk appetite.
By the end of July all the restrictions were removed from both residential and commercial underwriting.
This means that all of our businesses, we will have returned to normal risk appetites for most of Q3.
We believe theres lots of opportunity in a market with our current guidance.
Yes.
Following a successful Q1, we saw continued strong growth in single family originations this past quarter, both in <unk> and <unk> mortgages.
Originations in our single family residential portfolio totaled $1.84 billion, an increase of 63% for 2020.
We're proud of being driven incredible effort of our sales underwriting and funding teams to bring in this volume.
They showed their commitment to support our broker partners and providing mortgage solutions for our borrowers and market conditions that are constantly changing.
One of our home values is no your business and I believe this quarter, we demonstrated how this value drives our success.
We grew our volumes by delivering responsive service and industry expertise to evolving market conditions and risk parameters.
Yeah.
This quarter also saw a steady growth in deposits through our oaken channel, which now make up nearly 31% of our total deposits.
Our oaken store in Toronto, we opened in mid June and we are now back to welcoming customers into all our stores.
I am pleased to report that the traffic in our stores as bounce back quickly since we openings demonstrating.
Demonstrating the value of the in person option for many of our customers.
Our Treasury group has also been busy this past quarter.
In June we closed the second successful cross border RMB offering.
Compared to our inaugural issue in the fall of 2019, we saw increased investor interest and increased participation from U S investors.
Based on the Investor demand for our last offering we expect to be back in the market later this year subject to market conditions.
We continue to believe that our MBS offers a valuable strategic option for diversifying our funding options and growing our institutional source of funds.
We have also expanded our whole loan sales program, adding to the Counterparties, who are interested in purchasing loans originated by home Trust.
This quarter sales under this program were $431 million up from $37 million in Q1.
Whole loan sales and hence once capacity to offer an insured mortgage products through our broker channel.
Whole loan sales state these mortgages off balance sheet, recognizing a gain on sale, while collecting servicing income over the life of the loans.
We expect to meet regular sales of our mortgages under this program.
Within the company our execution of the ignite program continues to transform the way we work.
I credit the effort of all our teams to implement the transformation of our core banking system with minimal disruption to operations all while navigating the demands of an active housing market and remote working conditions.
Initiatives in our technology transformation include.
Our rollout rollout of robotic process automation has allowed us to be more efficient by automating routine repetitive tasks.
Our new CRM has improved productive engagement.
With our broker partners with new features and reporting to our broker a variety of productivity kpis with home.
We have refreshed our last platform to quickly and effectively update brokers with information on our mortgage promotions and other important communicated.
What is the system.
And the brokers used to collect documents for mortgage applications requested additional information and post updates on the status of an application.
This increased functionality built into the last platform has been very well received by our brokers.
We are progressing towards the launch of an enhanced digital experience for our oaken customers would be expected release of our mobile banking App later this year.
All of these are examples of the improvements in efficiency and customer experience made possible by our ignite program.
Yeah.
As we look ahead to the second half of 2021, we see good visibility for further mortgage growth and continued opportunity to deliver on our strategic objectives.
First we plan for a return to more normal working conditions, we noticed that a healthy economy requires to healthy population.
We're delighted to see high vaccination rates in Canada, and we hope to trend towards a reduction in Covid cases continues.
It has now been over 500 days that most of the team has been working from home.
We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our employees customers and partners as we make plans for a gradual return to the workplace.
At this point, we like most downtown employers are planning for a hybrid model of home and in person working.
It may take some time and adjustments before we land on a final version, but we are committed to following public health advice and to be transparent two way communication with our employees throughout the return of the office process.
Looking at the economy. The latest GDP unemployment data has been positive and is constructive outlook is expected to persist into 2022.
The bank of Canada.
Reducing its quantitative easing measures and RSP has announced plans to increase the domestic stability buffer effective November one 2021, a signal of your confidence in the resilience of the financial system.
The latest housing data show steady upward price movement in our major markets and an increase in sales for 2020.
We consider the recent pullback in sales volumes for June and July to be a healthy moderation from the peak volumes in February and March.
We believe that current conditions, namely low interest rates high consumer savings and changing housing housing needs in line with evolving working conditions all support a robust housing market.
We see improvements in employment and immigration, providing additional support to the medium and contributing to demand for mortgages in both prime and alternative space.
Okay.
Our residential team is reporting that the market conditions. We saw in May and June have helped to start the third quarter.
Our commercial team is seeing more opportunities in both the large and small commercial market and they returned to pre pandemic underwriting parameters.
We will continue to pursue attractive options to diversify our funding by investing in our open platform and expanding our our MBS and whole loan sales program.
Another of our priorities is optimizing our capital base.
We ended this quarter with a common tier equity one capital ratio of over 22%.
We reiterate our commitment to manage towards the target CET, one range of 14% to 15% once the regulatory restriction is lifted.
I would now like to turn the call over to Brad for a review of our financial results.
Yeah.
Thank you use free and good morning, everyone.
Slide six shows highlights of another strong quarter of financial performance.
Our second quarter net income was $72.8 million an increase of 113% over 2020.
And on an adjusted net income it was $73.9 million up 102%.
Net income per share grew by 118%.
$2.42 per share.
Our book value grew by 17% year over year to $35.32 per share and our annualized return on equity was 16, 6% for the quarter or 16, 9% on an adjusted basis.
We generated that return on equity, while holding a significant amount of excess capital ending the quarter with just over 22% CET one.
If our CET one level had been at the high end of our target CET, one level, 15% throughout the quarter, our pro forma annualized return on equity would have been in excess of 25%.
Okay.
Slide seven shows the factors contributing to the year over year quarterly earnings per share growth.
The largest contribution came from the relative change in credit provisions.
The first two quarters of 2020 included substantial credit provisions in keeping with the uncertainty and economic outlook at that time.
The first two quarters of 2021 included provision releases in line with updated forward looking information and better than expected actual credit experience.
I will discuss credit provisions in more detail later in the call.
The EPS contribution from the change in provisioning compared with Q2.2020 accounted for 53 in earnings per share or 69% of the year over year increase in EPS.
Our net interest margin for the quarter was 261%.
As with last quarter, and an improvement of 21 basis points over the comparable Q2.2020 figure.
The increase in NIM contributed 11 cents to the increase in our net income per share.
Our funding costs continue to trend lower with the roll off of some higher cost funds, partially offset by lower realized yields on our assets.
This quarter, we also terminated our 500 million standby credit facility, which will reduce our funding costs by approximately five basis points going forward.
We continue to expect our net interest margin to stay in this range for the balance of 2021 based on our current interest rate outlook.
We generated positive operating leverage as we grew our year over year revenue by 5%, while reducing operating expenses by 12%.
Noninterest expenses were below the first quarter level and below our expectations at the start of the quarter as some planned spend was deferred to later in the year.
The reduced expenses compared to last year resulted in a benefit to earnings per share of <unk> 12, and.
<unk> improved our operating efficiency to 42, 1% or 41% on an adjusted basis.
In total our year over year quarterly growth in pretax pre provision net income was 23%.
Reducing the number of average shares outstanding through our normal course issuer bid resulted in a modest benefit of <unk>.
Okay.
Slide eight shows our originations for this quarter compared with last year.
Total single family originations grew by 63% with significant strength in both our classic an accelerator businesses.
We note that our sales and underwriting teams delivered this growth while pandemic underwriting restrictions were still in place during the first part of the quarter.
As <unk> indicated those restrictions were relaxed for both our residential and commercial groups early in Q3, and our normal prudent risk parameters have been restored.
On the commercial side, our insured residential volumes declined compared with last year with the CMA sea pivoting their allocations more towards affordable housing.
Our nonresidential volumes increased year over year, as we saw more opportunities to participate in good quality projects.
Since our return to pre pandemic underwriting parameters in the third quarter, we expect to see growth pick up for the remainder of 2021.
Turning to our funding on slide nine we continue to emphasize the growth of our oaken channel with a significant weighting towards term deposits versus demand deposits.
Okay, now makes up 31% of our deposits compared with 26% in Q2 of 2020 and increased by two 5% quarter over quarter and 13, 3% year over year.
This quarter, we also announced the successful completion of another cross border offering of residential mortgage backed securities.
As <unk> mentioned this offering had a greater percentage of cross border participation that our inaugural RMB S. In 2019 as more investors came to appreciate the AAA rating of the classic nodes and the excellent credit performance of the loans in the structure.
As stated previously we intend to be a programmatic issuer in this channel subject to market conditions.
We continue to believe there is investor appetite to support the continued development and expansion of private RMB S.
Slide 10 shows the details of our credit provisioning this quarter.
We booked a release of $18.8 million compared with provisions of $18.7 million one year earlier.
For the year to date total releases have been $30.9 million compared with provisions of $48.8 million in 2020.
We realized a net recovery of less than one basis point or $2 million across all lines of business in Q2.
For the year to date net write offs have been less than one basis point or a point 2 million compared with net write offs of three basis points or $2.3 million in the first half of 2020.
Slide 11 shows a breakdown of our credit provisions the $18.8 million total is made up of $15.2 million release of provisions on our stage, one and stage two loans and a $3.6 million release of provisions on our stage three loans.
The $3.6 million release in our stage three loans comes predominantly from increased expectations for and actual repayments in our commercial loan portfolio.
The $15.2 million release in our provisions for stage, one and stage two loans across all lines of business results from a change in the forward looking expectations for housing prices and employment levels, and our third party economic forecast and actual repayments.
Last year's quarterly provision number reflected a downward revision in forward looking expectations are.
Our provision releases in quarter subsequent to Q2.2020 reflect more positive forward looking information improved credit quality and actual repayments.
The inputs to our economic models are shown on slide 12 as is the total allowance for credit losses.
The assumptions for future housing prices and unemployment levels have improved from the March 31 levels in all scenarios.
The total probability weighted allowance for loan losses stood at $39.7 million at the end of the quarter using just the base case, the allowance will be $31.8 million the use of multiple scenarios as nearly $8 million to the base case allowance.
The next slide shows the breakdown of our allowance for credit losses.
Chart on the left shows that 76% of our loan loss allowance is attributable to our stage, one and two loans.
The decline in allowance attributed to our other consumer retail loans is due to provision releases related to our more than 80% reduction in the gross amount of that portfolio are approximately 200 million two portfolio sales and repayments as well as net write offs since Q2.2020.
The decrease in allowance on our stage three loans is also due to the reduced value of nonperforming loans down by more than 50% for the year to date as shown on slide 14.
Net nonperforming loans now make up 24 basis points of gross loans compared with 57 basis points at the end of 2020.
Allowance for credit losses for stage three loans as a percentage of total stage three loans has increased from 18, 7% from 15% at the beginning of the year.
Turning to slide 15 for a discussion of capital.
Our CET one capital ratio at the end of Q2 was 20, 227%, we added 126 basis points to our capital base during the quarter.
As you May know, we together with all federally regulated financial institutions are currently restricted from increasing dividends out of our regulated entities by our regulator.
Absent that restriction, we could fund capital distributions by home capital group through dividends out of the regulated entities.
Yeah.
However, we were able to use funds at the holding company level to repurchase approximately 517000 shares during the quarter through our in CIB.
For the year to date, we have spent approximately $56 million to buy back over one 6 million shares at an average price of $31.23 per share.
This price represents a discount of 12% to our quarter end book value.
As we said during our last call subject to market conditions, we plan to choose the most effective methods to increase shareholder value, while moving towards our stated target range of 14% to 15% CET one.
And now I will turn the call back to <unk> for closing remarks.
Thank you Brad.
I'll now ask the operator April to pull for questions.
As a reminder to ask a question. Please press Star then the number one on your telephone keypad.
That is star then the number one and we'll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster.
Your first question is from Geoff Kwan with RBC.
Hi, good morning.
I just wanted to start off with that.
Talk about in terms of the capital strategy, obviously with a lot of excess capital that you have in wind.
Ban does get lifted.
How do you think about the rough timeline of how long it would take for you to get down into that kind of 14% to 15%.
CET one target ratio.
Uh huh.
Jeff I think we would consider what the market conditions were at the time, so that that timeline, what would necessarily flex depending on our view.
Previously we've discussed starting with an.
And S ICD again, depending on market conditions.
The intrinsic when pricing in intrinsic value or our view of intrinsic value of our stock.
We have done.
<unk> in the past two years in the range of $300 million to $150 million.
So that would move us reasonably rapidly to a lower rate and then we would think of either a combination of M CIB and dividends.
On a prudent basis so.
It could be.
Depending again on market conditions anywhere between 18 to 24 months as we could work our way down.
We want to make sure that.
We're looking at all factors market conditions liquidity, how it affects our net interest margin and profitability all with a view to.
Prudent risk management and enhancing shareholder value.
Okay.
And just my second question was on the Opex side.
I think as you pointed out I think it was it.
It was a little bit lower I think you mentioned there was some.
<unk> spend that was deferred just wanting to.
So you get a sense, how you think about how the opex is going to look like for the second half of this year.
And I'm, sorry, and if you can do that excluding any sort of ignite related expenses.
Yeah, well we.
We talked last quarter about being approximately $65 million in aggregate.
Noninterest expenses and that's inclusive of some of our it spend so worst through what I would call that.
Significant adjusted earnings Phase as you can see we've narrowed down.
The adjustments compared to prior periods.
And one of the other things is we've extended slightly the period, where we think for a completion of a night to the end of <unk>.
Q1 next year or so.
That's.
I guess the main takeaway there Jeff will be we think it'll be closer to two.
$65 million going forward.
For the next two quarters.
Okay, great. Thank you.
Your next question is from attaining record with BMO capital markets.
And Ken Good morning, So there wasn't a.
Our significant growth in.
Originations this past quarter.
Can you help us understand how.
How much of this growth is.
On one hand.
Hum capital relaxing.
The lighting standards that were in place.
Since I started with the pandemic relative to on the other hands.
Organic growth opportunities that you're seeing in the Alt eight space.
Hi, John Hi, two three.
Clearly the market has been hot for a N a.
The tide is definitely lifting all boats no doubt about that.
But we believe that we're getting that share of how much the market has increased no data yet for the second quarter overall.
But in addition, we feel that as we release these underwriting guidelines as GAAP, but that's going to increase our volumes are sure.
So.
You know without knowing what the market actually grew an estimated half just because of volume growth and half is because of our continued focused service and products that we're offering right now and that will grow.
Further so we grew by.
About 58% and our originations relative to <unk> 51 in the first quarter. So.
That's above I believe what the market has grown that's why I'm doing that approximate.
Okay great.
And on funding you have previously shared that okay could rip consents.
40% to 50% of your deposits over the next few years.
Given the recent deposit.
Racing.
Still a reasonable goalpost and.
For what time period.
Oh yeah.
He is reasonable but we.
We have no goal to get there fast we're going to do it prudently and effectively and make sure. It's.
Minimizing our cost of funds as we do it as we grow.
We said, we always said that the target is sort of three to five years and I think we said that a year ago and I think that's still on track, but we don't.
We don't have a line in the same thing we better get to fourth we're going to just do it prudently and in a way that continues to focus on NIM performance for the company.
Makes sense.
And so do.
Do open deposits.
As to costs still a bit higher relative to brokerage markets.
It is a little bit higher.
So the way we compare is the broker markets, we have to pay a commission and the oaken, we don't but we have the cost of the stores and the staff, but when you compare them. It is a little bit higher but this is stickier. So from a strategic long point of view that helps make the cost a little bit closer so that that has a strategic.
The advantage to us.
Great. Thank you for your comments.
Your next question is from Graham with TD Securities.
Hi, good morning.
Maybe just start on the credit front.
Another.
Quarter of some fairly material releases.
When I look at your your ACL relative to your portfolio size it.
Low versus.
Historical levels and then when I look at your ACL relative to your base case.
Expected credit loss or seem to be a smaller buffer there than than pre pandemic levels.
Yes. My question is is it reasonable to think that where you're currently sitting.
Credit loss for leases should be less material going forward.
Oh.
Yes is the short answer Greg.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
I mean, if he if he can expand on it if you want to.
If that wasn't clear.
We're more than comfortable with our coverage ratio.
Using the <unk>.
Our models are certainly.
Our actual experience has shown that we have been prudently provided in our main portfolios and we had one issue last year in relation to.
The consumer segment with that were very much in the process of exiting.
Yeah.
The main question I think was expectations of future releases.
We have now.
Taken up most of that generally increase that we had in relation to the onset of the pandemic and the rapid movement in.
Downward revisions to forward looking information so going forward, we expect to see a much more normalized credit environment with provisions.
There will be a variability or volatility in provisions related to movements of forward looking information and we expect those to be more moderate going forward and lessors something that happens.
Outside of our current expectations.
Yeah.
We'll have a we do plan on growing our portfolio and therefore provisions will rise, but as a percentage should be relatively consistent.
Okay that was helpful.
In terms of growing your portfolio. Your originations were sold this quarter, but it looks like your the run off on your residential book was was also quite large and sort of.
Weighed against your overall portfolio growth can you.
Some color around what was driving the higher run off and what are you targeting here, what's a reasonable expectation for overall loan growth.
Yeah, we did have what we saw.
Was a much higher sales. So when we are looking to renew the actual property was sold and no longer require financing.
We think our in our modeling that we think that will have.
A slightly higher retention rates.
In the next six months based on the trends we're seeing today.
Great. That's it for me thank you.
Your next question is from Nigel D'souza with Veritas investment.
Thank you good morning, I wanted to touch quickly on these three reversals of provisions that you pointed out this quarter and I understand that's due to high repayments in that makes sense, but do you have any color on the underlying drivers for that I mean, either repayments moving higher because.
Because of improvements in employment or support that individuals are receiving government programs or.
Is it just self curing where individuals are able to sell.
Their real estate assets at an attractive price any any color there you could provide.
Well the biggest mover.
Relatively in the reduction of stage three was in our commercial and that was that was due to repayments.
And similarly.
Similarly, our slightly differently with some in our stage three residential with with lower balances or or refi, either with us or externally.
That's where a lot of that chart.
Ed.
Came from in the overall.
Allowance release on stage III.
Touching on buybacks.
You've executed on some already and it makes sense that it's attractive when your share price is below.
Your book value, but whats your shares currently above book.
Book value.
For sure is our buybacks as attractive as they were previously a is that still where you'd like to prioritize ALS.
Allocating your excess capital or any other channel that you view us.
As attractive or more attractive.
Well, we continue to view buybacks as an attractive option.
If the shares are below our view of intrinsic value.
Okay.
We still believe that the shares are trading below our view of intrinsic value. So we are focused on buybacks in the current environment.
So they still are accretive to earnings and ROE.
But we will also.
At the appropriate time consider dividends as well.
Okay that makes sense and if I could just wrap up on I guess, a broader question maybe a longer term question you.
You mentioned that you expect originations to remain relatively robust in the near term, but if I look out further ahead.
Over the next few years with real estate prices elevated at the current moment do you see you know a lot of lack of I guess affordable housing as a potential headwind for.
You know immigration you immigration to into Toronto, or key markets or even a first time or younger homebuyers is that something where you think.
Affordability starts becoming an issue or a potential headwind for you or have you.
He's a thought about that differently, what what's your outlook there.
In Q3 here.
There's a lot of questions in that question I'll try to deal with most of them.
So.
Youre right in part of that is that not affordability, but supply continues to be a problem. There are still more people who want homes than there is supply.
Canada.
Immigration numbers are expected to grow.
I think.
I mentioned in the past that typically new immigrants, who will acquire warehouse two to three years. After arriving so you can kind of chart. The demand that is gonna come two to three years.
From now and new immigrants are over in terms of what they buy from $10 million homes to startup condos to its a wide range.
You're right. It is obviously getting more difficult and less affordable for people, but what we've also seen is with the lockdowns and working from home and without a doubt the hybrid going forward of people working from the office and home as Theyre moving further out which makes it more affordable.
Dream two years ago was to be only in downtown Toronto with a short commute with assembly now not the case you are willing to move further out as long as their employment Ken can accommodate it. So there's a lot of rebalancing that has to happen and what's affordable, but the main driver over the next few years continues to be the demand is very very high.
Hi.
The other part of unknown in that in your in your question is interest rates, where will interest rates being at the current levels, it's making it still very affordable from a lot of a lot of people, but depending on where interest rates that could potentially obviously move the demand down in terms of People's affordability. So you asked a multi level question did I get into the quarter when you want.
If not please let me elaborate on whatever.
No I think that was a really helpful color and I think you touched on a lot of different factors there so yeah.
I appreciate the color. Thank you.
Thank you.
Your next question comes from.
With.
Yeah. Thanks, good morning.
Hey, good morning.
First question is on the sale of I guess, the whole loan sale program, a huge step up this quarter.
Apologize if I missed it in the prepared remarks.
What what kind of level should we expecting here I think I don't think we were expecting that.
400 million in this quarter. So what what is the outlook for volumes on that front and then a follow up on the on the.
The rates or the gain on sale rates on those mortgages sold.
This quarter indicative of what we should expect or I mean, the previous two quarters were significantly higher than that on lower volumes. So just a little bit of.
Our framing of the strategy and the financial impacts.
Thanks, Jim.
We we did do better than we expected in the last quarter it may be that.
That amount.
It would be what we'd expect in the next half.
So that's where we would be modeling that and the other question is.
I think there was a mix there when you were mentioning that at that.
That gain on sale this was higher than maybe I misunderstood your question.
Yeah, sorry, So let me let me just clarify your response to the first question. So when you said last quarter. You mean, the Q2.400 million that's about what we should expect in Q3 Q4, each or in aggregate and then I'll follow up on the rate.
In aggregate.
Okay, Okay, and then on the right what I was saying.
Please me.
In Q2, the rate looks like it's about 60 basis points.
And in the previous two quarters are granted on much lower volume it was north of 200 basis points.
And so just wanted to get a little bit more.
Insight as to the.
The rate closer to 60 basis points on a go forward basis or is that something is there something else that's driving that lower.
I think that going forward rate is something that could be used.
And part of that and again.
Trying to make sure that youre using.
Yeah.
The securitization gains as well as the.
Whole loan sale gains.
I was breaking it out individually, but maybe we can take it offline.
Sure I can talk about some of the specifics on that front, but I think I've got a pretty good sense there.
Shifting back to the net interest margin or I guess.
The spreads net interest spread this quarter.
A little bit of a step down.
Maybe it makes sense just wanted to get some more grand.
Granularity as to what Youre seeing on the on the rate side in single family core single family and commercial loans is that is that right side on the asset side still declining in a competitive environment.
Or are we starting to see some stabilization on.
On mortgage rates.
Ashish here, Jamie on Alt a.
Pretty steady some minor adjustments here, it's still very competitive.
That's obviously, a much bigger part and very competitive.
We're we're also.
Seeing some competition and it's affecting our NIM slightly is on renewals.
As we have already discussed on this call there were a lot of sales so a lot of.
Mortgages.
They didn't exist any more with those people sold their homes, but to remaining competitive on renewals.
There is a bigger reach like there.
And did you see that continuing into Q3 as well would that be fair characterization.
Yeah, I think so I'm I think for Q3, and Q4 and possibly as well as on the origination side.
There is huge competition for mergers we are very pleased we're keeping our own and keeping the NIM up into one but theres a lot of competition on rates.
Service and products and so on.
Yeah understood.
Last one for me just wanted to dig into.
The the credit releases or I guess, the change in risk parameters and models. So if I'm looking at the sub pack.
Page 19, and the single family.
Ponant.
And this is this is something that's been consistent over the last several quarters.
Trying to get a little bit more clarity as to.
What would be the change in risk parameters that would cause the significant decline in stage one.
But at the same time increases in stage, two and stage three.
Provisions or allowances I guess.
Yes.
We worked through those models games, we continue to refine the risk parameters or items that would go through in relation to ltvs.
The Ah <unk>.
Expectations of repayment of probability of default.
Those are kind of factors that would go into that.
And as well you know moving to stage one it gives only one year loss rather than than lifetime, although on average.
Do you have.
And the classic book average life.
Have estimated around 14 months.
Okay. Thank you.
And again, if he would like to ask a question. Please press Star then the number one on your telephone keypad.
