[Operator Instructions] Welcome to the Chesapeake Utilities Corporation's First Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn the call over to Lucia Dempsey, Head of Investor Relations.
Lucia Dempsey
Thank you, and good morning, everyone. My name is Lucia Dempsey, and I'm thrilled to have joined Chesapeake Utilities Corporation last month as the new Head of Investor Relations. I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at AGA next week or at other opportunities in the coming weeks and months.
Today's presentation can be accessed on our website under the Investors page and Events & Presentation subsection. After our prepared remarks, we will open up the call for questions.
With me today are Jeff Householder, Chair of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer; Beth Cooper, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Assistant Corporate Secretary; and Jim Moriarty, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief Policy and Risk Officer.
On Slide 3, we show our typical disclaimers while I remind you that matters discussed in this conference call may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements and projections could differ materially from our actual results.
The safe harbor for forward-looking statements section of our 2023 annual report on Form 10-K provides further information on the factors that could cause such statements to differ from our actual results.
Additionally, the company evaluates its performance based on certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, and the accompanying information includes the appropriate disclosures in accordance with the SEC's Regulation G.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP measures has been provided in the appendix of this presentation, our earnings release and our first quarter Form 10-Q. Now, it is my distinct pleasure to turn the call over to Jeff.
Jeff Householder
