DISH Network Corporation

Good day and welcome to the Dish Network Corporation Q1 2021 earnings conference call. Today's conference is being recorded. And at this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Tim Messner. Please go ahead, sir.

All right. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us. We are joined on the call this morning by Charlie Ergen, our chairman, Eric Carlson, our CEO, Tom Cullen, our EVP of corporate development, Paul Orban, our CFO. And then on the wireless side, we have Stephen Bai, our chief commercial officer. Mark Ruan, our chief network officer, and also John Syringa, EVP and group president of our retail wireless business. Before we start, I need to remind you all that statements that we make during this call that aren't statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements. Those are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results and or from our forecasts. We assume no responsibility for updating forward-looking statements. For more information, please refer to the risks, uncertainties, and other factors discussed in our SEC filings. We're not going to be making any opening remarks this morning, so operator, we'll go straight to questions.

All right, folks. Sorry about that brief technical difficulties, but we are back, and we can go ahead and start with our Q&A session. If you are an analyst, please press star 1 to queue for a question. Again, that is star one to ask a question. I'll go ahead and pause for just one moment to allow everyone an opportunity to signal. Okay, we'll go ahead and start with our first analyst question. from Rick Prentice with Raymond James.
