Good afternoon. And welcome to the Penske Automotive Group First Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. Today’s call is being recorded and will be available for replay approximately one hour after completion through May 7, 2024 on the company’s website under the Investors tab at www.penskeautomotive.com.
I will now introduce Tony Pordon, the company’s Executive Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Development. Sir, please go ahead.
Tony Pordon
Thank you, Leah. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. As you know, a press release detailing Penske Automotive Group’s first quarter 2024 financial results was issued this morning and it’s posted on our website along with a presentation designed to assist you in understanding the company’s results. As always, I’m available by email or phone for any follow-up questions you may have.
Joining me for today’s call are Roger Penske, our Chair and CEO; Shelley Hulgrave, our EVP and Chief Financial Officer; Rich Shearing, North American Operations; Randall Seymore, International Operations; and Tony Facione, our Vice President and Corporate Controller.
Our discussion today may include forward-looking statements about our operations, earnings potential, outlook, acquisitions, future events, growth plans, liquidity and assessment of business condition.
We may also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, and our leverage ratio. We have prominently presented the comparable GAAP measures and have reconciled the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in this morning’s press release and investor presentation, which are available on our website.
Our future results may vary from our expectations because of risks and uncertainties outlined in today’s press release under forward-looking statements. I also direct you to our SEC filings, including our Form 10-K and previously filed Form 10-Qs for additional discussion and factors that could cause future events to differ materially from expectations.
At this time, I’ll now turn the call over to Roger Penske.
