David Feaster -
All right. Good morning, everybody. My name is David Feaster. I'm a member of our banking research team here at Raymond James, and we are very pleased to have Columbia Banking System here with us. The bank is a high-quality West Coast franchise, a tremendous core deposit base and a strong organic outlook and it's just recently closed their transformative acquisition of Umpqua, creating a $50 billion asset bank with incredibly strong profitability.
The deal just closed last week. So we are extremely excited to have you here with us and give us all the details. But from -- you also have a lot going on with the conversion here, which is scheduled for in a couple of weeks here. So you don't have much going on. So thank you for joining us.
From the company, we've got CEO, Clint Stein; CFO, Ron Farnsworth; and Director of IR, Jacque Bohlen. So we're going to host this as a fireside chat today. But if you have questions, feel free to jump in. Let's make this interactive.
