Good morning. Welcome to Ares Capital Corporation's First Quarter March 31, 2023 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions]. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded on today, Tuesday, April 25, 2023.
I will now turn the call over to Mr. John Stilmar, Managing Director of Ares Investor Relations.
John Stilmar
Thank you. Let me start with some important reminders. Comments made during the course of this conference call and webcast as well as the accompanying documents contain forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties.
The company's actual results could differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements for any reason, excluding those listed in its SEC filings. Ares Capital Corporation assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Please also note that past performance or market information is not a guarantee of future results.
During this conference call, the company may discuss certain non-GAAP measures as defined by SEC Regulation G, which include core earnings per share or core EPS.
The company believes that core EPS provides useful information to investors regarding financial performance because it's 1 method the company uses to measure its financial condition and results of operation.
A reconciliation of core EPS to basic and diluted net income per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying slide presentation for this call. In addition, reconciliation of these measures may also be found in our earnings press release filed with the SEC this morning on Form 8-K.
Certain information discussed in this conference call and the accompanying slide presentation, including information related to portfolio companies, was derived from third-party sources and has not been independently verified. And accordingly, the company makes no representation or warranty with respect to this information.
