Operator

Good morning. I would like to welcome everyone to Kennametal First Quarter and Fiscal 2025 Earnings Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute, to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remark, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this event is being recorded.

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

Michael Pici

Thank you, operator. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us to review Kennametal's first quarter fiscal 2025 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; and Pat Watson, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. After Sanjay 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 slide deck and on our Form 8-K on our website.

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

Sanjay Chowbey

Thank you, Mike. Good morning, and thank you for joining us.

I'll start the call today, with some end-market commentary, followed by a review of the quarter, and examples of the industry leading innovative solutions, we are bringing to market. Then Pat will cover the quarterly financial results, as well as the fiscal '25 outlook. Finally, I'll make some summary comments, and then open the call for questions.
