LKQ Corporation

Good morning, and thank you for joining LKQ Corporation's second quarter 2023 earnings conference call. I'm your operator, JL. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star 1 on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, again, press the star 1. For time, we ask that you limit yourself to one question and a follow-up question. I will now turn the conference over to Joe Boutros, VP of Investor Relations.

Please go ahead.

Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to LKQ's second quarter 2023 earnings conference call. With us today are Nick Zarconi, LKQ's president and chief executive officer, and Rick Galloway, senior vice president and chief financial officer. Please refer to the LKQ website at lkqcorp.com for earnings release issued this morning, as well as the accompanying slide presentation for this call. Now, let me quickly cover the safe harbor. Some of the statements that we make today may be considered forward-looking. These include statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions, or strategies. Actual events or results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. For more information, please refer to the risk factors discussed in our Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the SEC. During this call, we will present both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is included in today's earnings press release and slide presentation. Hopefully, everyone has had a chance to look at our 8K, which we filed with the SEC earlier today. And as normal, we're planning to file our 10Q in the coming days. And with that, I'm happy to turn the call over to our CEO, Nick Starconi.
