SpartanNash Company

Welcome to the Spartan Ash first quarter 2024 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question and answer session. I would like to now turn the call over to Doug Cooper from Rose and Company, who is assisting while Kaylee Campbell, Spartan Ash head of investor relations, is out on maternity leave. Doug?

Thank you, and good morning.

On the call today from the company is President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Sarsom, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Jason Monaco. By now, everyone should have access to the earnings release, which was issued this morning at approximately 7 a.m. Eastern Time. For a copy of the earnings release, as well as the company's supplemental earnings presentation, please visit Spartan Nash's website at www.SpartanNash.com forward slash investors. This call is being recorded and a replay will be available on the company's website. Before we begin, the company would like to remind you that today's discussion will include a number of forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. If you will refer to Spartan Nash's earnings release from this morning, as well as the company's most recent SEC filings, you will see a discussion of factors that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Please remember that all forward-looking statements made today reflect our current expectations only, and Spartan Nash undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements. The company will make a number of references to non-GAAP financial measures. The company believes these measures provide investors with useful perspective on the underlying growth trends of the business. And it has included in the earnings release a full reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, which can be found on Spartan Nash's website at www.spartanash.com forward slash investors. And it is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Tony.
