Operator

Thank you for standing by. My name is Mandeep, and I’ll be your operator today. At this time, I’d like to welcome everyone to the TDS UScellular Third Quarter 2024 Operating Results Conference Call. All lines have been placed on me to prevent any background noise. After the speaker submits, there’ll be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]

Thank you. I would now like to turn the call over to Colleen Thompson, Vice President, Corporate Relations. You may begin.

Colleen Thompson

Good morning and thank you for joining us. We want to make you all aware of the presentation we have prepared to accompany our comments this morning, which you can find on the Investor Relations sections of the TDS and UScellular websites.

With me today and offering prepared comments are from TDS, Vicki Villacrez, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; from UScellular, LT Therivel, President and Chief Executive Officer; Doug Chambers, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer; and from TDS Telecom, Michelle Brukwicki, Senior Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer.

This call is being simultaneously webcast on the TDS and UScellular Investor Relations website. Please see the websites for slides referred to on this call, including non-GAAP reconciliations. We provide guidance for both adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization or OIBDA and adjusted earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA to highlight the contributions of UScellular’s Wireless partnerships.

As shown on Slide 2, the information set forth in the presentation and discussed during this call contains statements about expected future events and financial results that are forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties. Please review the Safe Harbor paragraphs in our press releases and the extended version included in our SEC filings.

And with that, I will now turn the call over to Vicki Villacrez. Vicki?

Okay. Thank you, Colleen, and good morning, everyone. Before we begin, I do want to acknowledge the devastating impact of the recent hurricanes and the fires that swept through Ruidoso, New Mexico. Our hearts go out to all who were affected and suffered loss. And I want to thank our teams, especially who came together to offer support and assistance in all our affected communities when our customers and our communities needed us most. Thank you.
