American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.

I just can't explain how my emotions are raising every time that you are close to me. I get the feeling I keep chasing. Now that we're almost there, stop thinking. Wonder what's keeping you from not seeing. You got me considering this a lot for you. Yeah. I wasn't prepared, but you were tying me up. All of your ways have got me feeling right. None of it matters if you don't come in.

Good day and welcome to the AEO Incorporated First Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call. All participants will be in a listen-only mode. Should you need assistance, please signal a conference specialist by pressing the star key followed by zero. After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. To ask a question, you may press star then one on your telephone keypad. And to withdraw your question, please press star then two. Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Ms. Judy Meehan, HIDM Investor Relations and Corporate Communications. Please go ahead, ma'am.

Good afternoon, everyone. Joining me today for our prepared remarks are Jay Schottenstein, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jen Foyle, President, Executive Creative Director for American Eagle and Aerie, and Mike Mathias, Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin today's call, I need to remind you that we will make certain forward-looking statements. These statements are based upon information that represents the company's current expectations or beliefs. The results actually realized may differ materially based on risk factors included in our SEC filings. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Also, please note that during this call and in the accompanying press release, certain financial metrics are presented on both a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis. Reconciliations of adjusted results to the GAAP results are available in the tables attached to the earnings release, which is posted on our corporate website at www.aeo-inc.com in the investor relations section. Here you can also find the first quarter investor presentation. And now I will turn the call over to Jay.
