H&E Equipment Services, Inc.

Good morning and welcome to H&E Equipment Services' fourth quarter 2023 earnings conference call. Today's call is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Mr. Jeff Chastain, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Good morning and welcome to a review of our financial performance over the fourth quarter and full year of 2023.

Your participation on today's call is appreciated and we thank you for your interest in H&E. A press release was issued earlier today providing a detailed review of our results and can be found along with all supporting statements and schedules on the H&E website. That's www.he-equipment.com. A slide presentation will accompany today's discussion and is also posted on our website under the Investor Relations tab in events and presentations. Joining me this morning are Brad Barber, Chief Executive Officer, John Inquist, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Leslie McGee, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary. Brad will begin this morning's review, but before I turn the call over to him, please proceed to slide three as I remind you that today's call contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements about our beliefs and expectations and statements containing words such as may, could, believe, expect, anticipate, and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. A summary of these uncertainties is included in the safe harbor statement contained in the company's slide presentation for today's call and includes the risks described in the risk factors in the company's annual report on Form 10-K and other periodic reports. Potential investors and other listeners are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The company does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this conference call. Also, we are referencing non-GAAP financial measures during today's call. You will find the required supplemental disclosure for these measures, including the most directly comparable gap measure and an associated reconciliation as supporting schedules to our press release and in the attendance to today's presentation materials. That completes our preliminary details, so I'll now turn the call over to Brad Barber, Chief Executive Officer of H&E Equipment Services.
