Kelly Services, Inc.

Good morning and welcome to Kelly Services' first quarter earnings conference call. All parties will be on listen only 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 first quarter webcast presentation is also available on Kelly's website for this morning's call. I would now like to turn the meeting over to your host, Mr. Peter Quigley, President and CEO. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, Steve. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Kelly Services' first quarter conference call. With me today is Olivier Tiro, 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. 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. References to organic growth in our discussion today exclude the results of our Q2 2021 acquisition of Softworld. While we did complete our acquisition of Rocket Power in the first quarter, which Peter will talk more about shortly, will be consolidating their operating results on a once-month lag. So while our balance sheet and cash flows include the initial impact of the acquisition, we'll start seeing the positive P&L impact of Rocket Power in Q2. Finally, the slide deck that we are using on today's call is available on our website. And now back to you, Peter.
