Operator

Good morning. I would like to welcome everyone to Kennametal Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2024 Earnings Conference Call. Today, all participants will be in a listen-only mode to prevent any background noise. After the speakers’ remark, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Please note that today’s event is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Michael Pici, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, sir.

Michael Pici

Thank you, operator. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us to review Kennametal’s fourth quarter and fiscal 2024 results. This morning, we issued our earnings press release and posted our presentation slides on our website. We will be referring to that slide deck throughout today's call. I'm Michael Pici, Vice President of Investor Relations.

Joining me on the call today are Sanjay Chowbey, President and Chief Executive Officer; Pat Watson, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Franklin Cardenas, Vice President and President of Infrastructure.

After Chris and Pat's prepared remarks, we will open the line for questions. At this time, I would like to direct your attention to our forward-looking disclosure statement.

Today's discussion contains comments that constitute forward-looking statements and as such involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause the company's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements. These risk factors and uncertainties are detailed in Kennametal's SEC filings.

In addition, we will be discussing non-GAAP financial measures on the call today. Reconciliations to GAAP financial measures that we believe are most directly comparable can be found at the back of the deck and on our Form 8-K on our website.

And with that, I'll turn the call over to you, Sanjay.

Sanjay Chowbey

Thank you, Mike. Good morning and thank you for joining us today. It is an honor and privilege to lead this company and to work with our team members around the world. Before I get into the main portion of my remarks, let me say that it has been a very busy two months since I took on the CEO role.
