Robyn Bradbury

Thank you. Good morning, everyone. This is Robyn Bradbury, Senior Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations for Core & Main. We are happy to have you join us this morning for our fiscal 2024 second quarter earnings call. I am joined today by Steve LeClair, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer; Mark Witkowski, our Chief Financial Officer; and Brad Cowles, President. Steve will leave today's call with a business update and an overview of our recent acquisitions. Brad will then discuss the evolution of our smart utility solutions and how we drive the adoption of the latest and most effective technologies to improve efficiency for our municipal customers. We will then turn it over to Mark to discuss our second quarter financial results and updated fiscal 2024 outlook, followed by a Q&A session. We will conclude the call with Steve's closing remarks.

We issued our earnings press release this morning and posted the presentation to the Investor Relations section of our website. Our press release, presentation and the statements made during this call may include forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections. Such risks and uncertainties include the factors set forth in our earnings press release and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe are useful in assessing the operating results of our business. A reconciliation of these measures can be found in our earnings press release and in the appendix of our investor presentation.

Thank you for your interest in Core & Main. I will now turn the call over to Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Steve LeClair.
