Kelly Services, Inc.

Good morning and welcome to Kelly Services' second quarter earnings conference call. All parties will be in a listen-only mode until the question and answer portion of the presentation. Today's call is being recorded at the request of Kelly Services. If anyone has any objections, you may disconnect at this time. A second quarter webcast presentation is also available on Kelly's website for this morning's call. I'd now like to turn the meeting over to your host, Mr. Peter Quigley, President and CEO. Please go ahead.

Thank you, Cynthia. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Kelly Services' second quarter conference call. With me today is Olivier Thiraud, our Chief Financial Officer, who will walk you through our Safe Harbor language, which can be found in our presentation materials.

Thank you, Peter, and good morning, everyone. Let me remind you that 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 findings 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. References to organic growth in our discussion today exclude the results of our Q2 acquisition of Softworld. We have also provided a slide deck that we are using on today's call, as well as an expanded slide deck with more information on our performance on our website. Now back to you, Peter.
