Good morning. My name is Chris, and I'll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers First Quarter Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers’ remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Thank you.
I'll now turn the call over to Mr. Sameer Rathod, Vice President of Investor Relations and Market Intelligence to open the conference call. Mr. Rathod, you may begin your conference.
Sameer Rathod
Hello, and good afternoon. Thank you for joining us today to discuss our first quarter results. Joining me today are Jim Kessler, our Chief Executive Officer, and Eric Guerin, our Chief Financial Officer. The following discussion will include forward-looking statements, which can be identified by such words as expect, believe, estimate, anticipate, plan, intend, opportunity and similar expressions.
Comments that are not a statement of fact, including, but not limited to, projections of future earnings, revenue, gross transaction value, debt and other items, business and market trends and expectations regarding integration of IAA, including the anticipated cost synergies are considered forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties.
The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly from such forward-looking statements are detailed in our news release issued this afternoon as well as our most recent quarterly report and annual report on Form 10-K, which are available on the Investor Relations website and EDGAR and SEDAR.
On this call, we will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, including forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. For the identification of non-GAAP financial measures, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and the applicable reconciliation of the two, see our news release, Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and investor presentation posted on our website.
We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures as management cannot predict all the necessary components of such measures. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures.
At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Jim. Jim?
