I would now like to turn the meeting over to your host, Mr. Peter Quigley, President and CEO. Please go ahead.

Peter Quigley

Thank you, Brad. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Kelly's third quarter conference call. Before we begin, I'll walk you through our safe harbor language. As a reminder, any comments made during this call, including the Q&A, may include forward-looking statements about our expectations for future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those suggested by our comments, and we have no obligation to update the statements made on this call. Please refer to our SEC filings for a description of the risk factors that could influence the company's actual future performance.

In addition, during the call, certain data will be discussed on a reported and on an adjusted basis. Discussion of items on an adjusted basis are non-GAAP financial measures designed to give insight into certain trends in our operations. Finally, a presentation with information about Kelly's financial results in the quarter is available on our website. We have a lot to cover, so let's get started.

First, I'm pleased to welcome Troy Anderson, Executive Vice President and CFO Designate, who formally joined Kelly last month and is with us on the call today. As announced in September, following an exhaustive search process, Troy was selected to succeed Kelly's current Executive Vice President and CFO, Olivier Thirot, following his planned retirement as an officer of the company. Troy and Olivier have been working side by side over the past several weeks to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities.

Upon completion of the transition, Troy will assume the role of Executive Vice President and CFO of Kelly, and Olivier will be a strategic adviser to the company. Troy brings to Kelly more than 30 years of experience, successfully executing business transformations, a track record of accelerating profitable growth and a passion for developing and leading high-performing teams. I'm confident he will build upon the significant contributions of Olivier to whom I'm immensely grateful for his distinguished service to Kelly.
